Chapter 161 - The Intruder

If Kudo's new generation is one... Maori Kogoro should be 5.

then Who are 7, 4 and 3?

wait,7? Nana? (The Japanese pronunciation of 7 is similar to Nana)

But 4 and 3 thousand birds really don't know who it is.

Thinking like this, Qian Yu followed everyone into the elevator and let the elevator send everyone underground.

It seems that Mr. Asahi Shengyi is planning to discuss this matter with them...

。。。

"Oh my God..." Minoru Nishina rushed out of the elevator in shockβ€”he had just been frightened by the elevator's picture window that could see the underwater scene.

Chiba raised her eyebrows, thinking that Minoru Nishina might be about to suffer. Because there is a corridor connected to the outside of the elevator, and the corridor itself is a semi-cylindrical corridor made of glass, all that catches your eye is water...

However, Minoru Nishina is very calm.

"Mr. Nishina, you don't seem to be feeling unwell... Conan directly asked the question that Qian Yu was thinking.

"Huh?" Mr. Nishina clearly hasn't recovered from the horror in the elevator yet. "Oh... Actually, I'm mainly afraid of the water, and I can't see the surface of the water if I'm underwater like this, so I'm okay now... ”

The group walked through the hallway and came to a hall. There are a lot of ornate tables and chairs inside, apparently intended to be built as an underwater restaurant. What surprised everyone even more was that a sports car actually stopped quietly

"This looks like the main meeting room... Nana Koyamauchi frowned. "What's going on with that old guy Xu Shengyi? Why don't you greet guests? ”

"Mr. Asahi won't be given by Murakami... Officer Shiratori's face was ugly.

"Given by Murakami Akito?" Shinto Eimei's ears are pointed. "What do you mean?"

"Uhhh Officer Twilight hesitated for a moment, then said. "We need to explain this."

"The police department," Officer Shiratori said. "I'd like to go inside and check it out."

"I'll check it out too." Mori Kogoro said solemnly.

"Stay safe." Officer Twilight nodded.

While everyone was immersed in Officer Twilight's story, Chiba and Conan glanced at each other and left without moving.

Gray Yuan glanced at the departing Chiha, and after hesitating for a moment, she chose to continue listening to Officer Twilight tell the story she had already heard.

。。。

"Knock knock." Conan knocked on the door of the president's office - if Asahi Katsuyoshi was not actually attacked, but simply forgot about their arrival, then knocking on the door was a necessary etiquette.

No response.

Chiba and Conan's hearts sank and they pushed the door open.

It was empty, not even a sign of anyone working here.

"There's no sign of a fight," Chiba said as she examined it. "The whole room was perfectly furnished, nothing out of the ordinary. Sticky notes have not been used either. I almost wonder if he's based here. ”

"But he's been here already... Conan said after opening the storage cabinet under the water dispenser. "Probably one person was also received."

"What do you mean?" Qian Yu curiously gathered around.

Conan showed the inside of the storage cabinet to Chiba, only to see that it was full of paper cups.

"The number of paper cups is 58." Conan looked at Chiba and said.

"58?" Qian Yu frowned - because the number 58 was so untidy that it didn't look like the number of paper cups that were full should have. But if you add two...

"So, you think he and the guests each used a paper cup, don't you?" Qian Yu asked.

"That's right," Conan nodded. "Besides, you said it doesn't look like anyone has used it here, right? In other words, no paper cups in the trash? ”

"Not even a garbage bag." Qian Yu shook his head. "Judging from the signs you found, it is probably this guest or Xu Shengyi who disposed of the bag himself."

"I don't think it's right," Conan said uneasily. "From Xu Shengyi here to Brother Shinichi, 9 to 1 are all together."

"Ready?" Chiba was surprised. "4 and 3 don't!"

"That foreigner's name is Ford, four," Conan motioned for Chiba to leave the president's office with him. "Officer Shiratori's name is Shiratori Renzaburo, three."

"That's just as well... Qian Yu pursed his lips. "I thought it was Asahi Seung-yi who found out that he was likely to be the next victim, so I summoned them over to discuss the matter. But it occurred to me that this was most likely a trap. ”

"Hmm," Conan nodded. "But the problem is, I'm curious about how Murakami intends to attack. After all, judging from the previous attacks, it is obvious that the murderer used the name of 1 to 13 to kill some people, and only lightly attacked others. ”

"In other words, Murakami is going to find a way to kill all the targets he intends to kill here?" Qian Yu frowned. "But how is he going to take out those targets in the crowd? There are nearly 10 of us here, and even if Murakami has cold weapons, he can't deal with us! Unless he has a hot weapon, he thinks he can kill us. ”

"That doesn't conform to his previous style of crime, and secondly, as a person who has just been released from prison after a ten-year sentence, the source of hot weapons he knew before must have been cut off, and it is impossible for him to get a gun."

"Hey... Qian Yu sighed. "Let's see the move...

"yes." Conan said helplessly, and at the same time went to a room at the end of the corridor with Chiba and opened the door.

However, the door did not open.

"Huh?" Conan frowned and twisted the doorknob again.

The door still didn't open because the doorknob wouldn't move.

"Locked?" Conan frowned.

Qian Yu also frowned.

Only this one door is locked, is it...

"Looks like we're overthinking," Conan said relieved, gesturing to the label on the door. "Look."

【ワむンセラー】——Wine cellar

"Uhhh Qian Yu also reacted instantly. "This kind of door must be locked... It couldn't be more normal. ”

The wine that can be used for the collection is certainly worth a lot, and the sum of the wines in this cellar may even be comparable to a vault full of treasures. If this kind of place is not locked all the time, it is too easy to lose things.

The two men exchanged words and left the hallway.

After a few moments, the doorknob of the locked wine cellar turned slightly, and the "click" of unlocking was very clear.

A man walked out.

"This guy can really get me in trouble!" He was speechless.

He then took out the key to the door, relocked the cellar door, and left.
