"Ah, speaking of this, has Mr. Maori ever met President Yamatoda?" Chris suddenly asked.
"Ah? President? No..."
"As for President Yamatoda, he appeared in the observation room of the East Tower during the fireworks display."
Karasuma Ying suddenly appeared beside Mori Kogoro and stared at her.
"Oh, so President Yamato is still in the East Tower? The party has already started..."
After a slight surprise, Chris looked at Wu Wanying curiously and asked, "Little sister, may I ask who you are..."
"Karamura Ying, Mr. Mori's assistant."
"Karasuma? It's a rare last name..." Chris said, raising her hand to cover her mouth gently, and asked as if jokingly:
"Sister Karasuma, you are not related to the famous Karasuma Group, are you?
I remember that there seemed to be a 'little princess' in the Karasuma Group, who was about the same age as Karasuma's sister... Just kidding."
Before Wu Wanying could answer, Chris suddenly smiled and said, "I remember very clearly that the 'little princess' of the Wu Wan Group did not have the last name Wu Wan..."
When she said this, her eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, but soon returned to her smiling look.
"You're right, aren't you? Karasuma-chan?"
"How would I know about such things..." Karasuma Ying forced a smile.
No one noticed that because of what Chris had just said, sweat was oozing out of her clenched palms.
Not far from the two of them, Conan was looking at them, with a strange light reflecting on his glasses.
"What are you thinking about?" Huibara Ai leaned forward and asked.
"I always feel that Xiaoying seems to have some hostility towards Chris." Conan replied truthfully, frowning slightly.
This was a detail he had just noticed. This should be the first time that Wu Wanying and Chris met tonight.
In Conan's impression, Karasuma Ying is not the kind of woman who likes to be jealous. Logically speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't happen between these two women...
Huiyuan Ai put her hands behind her back, glanced at him, and asked, "Edogawa, do you think there is something wrong with this Chris?"
"Ah, I suspect she might be Vermouth in disguise."
"Belmod?!"
Now it was Haibara Ai's turn to be surprised.
The Chris in front of me looks very similar to Vermouth, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she is a younger version of Vermouth.
But... she herself didn't sense any aura of any organization from this Chris!
If Conan hadn't said that, she wouldn't even have connected this Chris with the organization.
Conan seemed to finally realize that Haibara Ai was abnormal. He turned his head and looked at her with surprise.
"Habara, didn't you feel anything before?"
He knew that Haibara Ai was extremely sensitive to the presence of organization members who appeared and acted around her, and this was even more so for higher-level members.
But why didn't she react at all to Chris in front of her?
Isn't she Vermouth?
Is there really a Chrissie Wynyard in this world?
This is absolutely impossible. Even if it really happened, she must be related to that organization.
Could it be that...she is actually Kidd in disguise?
No, that's impossible. The police had already checked Chris when she entered the venue. Her face was absolutely real, not a disguise...
Damn it! My head is so confused, I can’t figure out what he overlooked.
Beside him, Haibara Ai looked at Conan quietly as he was scratching his head, and swallowed back the words she was about to ask.
[Don't you think that Karasuma Ying and Chris actually look a bit alike? ]
That's what she originally wanted to ask.
But after hearing what Conan said, she didn't really want to ask...
"call out!"
At this moment, brilliant fireworks lit up outside the window again, and the colorful lights illuminated the dark night sky once again.
"Wow! Look! It's the second wave of fireworks!" At the dinner table, Mao Lilan looked at the fireworks outside the window and shouted excitedly.
Attracted by Mao Lilan's shout, Karasuma Ying also subconsciously looked out the window.
And this glance just happened to make her see the worst scene under the fireworks.
A corpse dressed in a kimono was hung outside the balcony of the president's office on the 53rd floor of the East Tower.
"That's...President Yamatoda?!"
[Is something wrong after all…]
The fireworks were blooming. In the corridor outside the venue, "Sato Miwako" looked up at the corpse hanging outside the East Tower opposite with a solemn expression.
She pulled out her phone and quickly dialed a number.
"Inspector Megure, it's me, Sato. A murder has occurred in the Aid Twin Towers... No, not Kid, but President Yamatoda... Okay, Takagi and I will take over the scene immediately, thank you..."
That’s right, she is not the real Officer Sato, but the disguised Kuroba Kaito.
Or, you can also call him Kaito Kid.
Turning around and opening the door of the venue, Kuroba Kaito walked into the venue, his eyes quickly scanning the crowd.
Ichiro Yamato is dead, and the murderer is most likely the guy who forged his notice letter.
With the thief's pride at stake, he will definitely catch the murderer who used his fame to carry out his murder plan!
Of course, she currently still needs to find an old helper.
"Officer Sato!"
As soon as I entered the venue, a young girl ran towards me with an anxious look on her face.
"Xiaoying? What's wrong?" Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked in the voice of Sato Miwako.
He had an impression of this girl with a ponytail, Kogoro Mouri's assistant. She had appeared frequently in police newspapers recently and should be a very capable detective.
She also seemed to have a good relationship with Sato Miwako, the person he was now in disguise with.
"Did you see what happened outside the East Tower just now?" Wu Wanying asked hurriedly.
At this time, the second wave of fireworks had passed, and the outside was plunged into darkness again.
"Well, it seems to be President Yamato..." Kuroba Kaito nodded and looked around at the crowd in the venue.
At this time, there was already some commotion in the venue, and the guests sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows began to talk anxiously.
This is normal. Under the wave of fireworks just now, although not everyone saw President Yamatoda's body hanging outside the East Tower, it did mean that no one saw it.
"Okay, let's go there together."
After confirming that Sato Miwako had also seen what happened just now, Karasuma Ying directly grabbed her hand and quickly walked out of the venue.
"I have a feeling that President Yamato's death is definitely not that simple. It is very likely related to the person who forged the notice. Let's go there quickly and don't let the murderer destroy the scene."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Behind, Conan raised his hand and pushed his glasses as he watched Karasuma Ying leaving with Sato Miwako.
[I'll leave that to you, Xiaoying...]
After watching the two of them leave the venue, Conan turned his attention back to Chris who was having a pleasant conversation with Kogoro Mouri.
Now, let me try you.
Chapter 71 Confirmed Death
"Takagi!"
On the first floor of the East Tower, which had long been blocked by the police, Takagi Shigeru was guarding the only elevator that was still in operation.
"Officer Sato? And Xiaoying? You are finally here..." Seeing the two people rushing over, Takagi Shigeru finally had a smile on his anxious face.
"Do you know the situation?" asked Kuroba Kaito, who was disguised as Sato Miwako.
"Well, Officer Megure has just called to inform me that President Yamatoda..."
"I'm still not entirely sure... Where's the elevator? Why is it on the 40th floor? Who went up there before?"
"Oh, Master Kenta and Mr. Shan Qizhe have been there before and have registered with me."
"What about the other elevators? Can they be started now?" asked Karasuma Ying.
In order to restrict Kidd, only one elevator in the East Tower was left operating normally tonight, and the rest were all shut down.
"I have contacted the engineer to go to the control room, but it may take some time..." Takagi Shigeru replied.
"It seems we can only wait here for a while..." Kuroba Kaito frowned slightly and said helplessly.
As for climbing the stairs?
Are you kidding me? That's the 53rd floor! I'll be almost dead by the time I get there. I might as well just wait for the elevator...
"Officer Takagi."
Karasuma Ying glanced at the notebook that Takagi Wataru used to register the people who used the elevator and asked:
"Do you remember which floor Kenta and Mr. Shan Qizhe went to?"
"As far as I can remember, Mr. Shan Qizhe told me that he was going to the observatory on the 48th floor, while Mr. Kenta went to the president's office on the 53rd floor.
The elevator did stop at these two floors before, so this should be correct..."
"understood."
Nodding, Wu Wanying continued to ask: "Officer Gao Mu, do you remember which floor the elevator was on when the second wave of fireworks was released?"
"The second wave of fireworks? Let me think... Oh! I remember! It's on the 40th floor!"
"The 40th floor..."
