"and many more!"
Mary, the only person who reacted at the scene, immediately stepped forward and tried to take his gun.
This person...had he prepared from the very beginning to commit suicide after the truth was revealed?
However, due to the long distance between them, Mary could not catch up with his shooting speed.
"Bah!"
When the gunshot rang out, Gunna didn't give anyone time to react. The bullet penetrated his head without any suspense. He collapsed to the ground in an instant, completely motionless.
Mary stopped and looked down at the scene with her eyes narrowed.
This matter is definitely not that simple. Gunnar's sudden suicide was obviously an intentional self-murder.
The purpose is to cut off all clues and prevent anyone from continuing to trace along this line, thereby implicating the real murderer behind the scenes.
That’s right, on the surface, Gunna is undoubtedly the real culprit in this incident, but if you look at it from a broader perspective, you will find that Gunna is actually just a pawn executing orders.
The real murderer is someone else.
Mary had already noticed this during her previous investigation.
Because Gunnar's method of killing this time can really be said to be full of loopholes.
The obviously wrong time of death, the bloodstains left at the scene, and the scapegoat who has not been arrested yet...
Each of these flaws is fatal, and it is precisely based on these flaws that Mary easily uncovered Gunna's identity as the murderer.
Do you think others are fools by killing people in such a flawed way?
But what if the Kingdom Police were included in the mix?
Under the sunglasses, Mary looked at the silent Police Chief Barry.
The time of death can be falsified, the blood at the scene can be cleaned up by the police, and the culprit will be quickly arrested and tortured into confessing...
If the Kingdom Police were really involved in this, and if Mary had not followed along to investigate, she believed that the case would most likely have had a completely different ending.
Of course, the above are all guesses made by Mary based on her half-life experience. So far, she has no evidence to prove this.
But in this country right now, it's always good to be more careful...
"What happened? Was that a gunshot?!"
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the watchtower. Mary looked back and saw Karasuma Ying and a male detective running in along the staircase corridor.
Xiaoying? Why are you…"
When they saw Karasuma Ying, Mary and Barry both looked surprised.
Sleepy (﹃) It's 11:37 now. I actually posted it on time today. I'm so touched.
Chapter 207 Freya
"What are you thinking about?" On the way home from school, Haibara Ai asked Conan who was looking down at him in deep thought.
"Ah, it's about Onimare..."
Conan walked forward while talking with his schoolbag on his back.
"Although Inspector Megure entrusted this matter to the uncle before, since the incident at El Pharmaceutical, Onimare has not appeared again. Even if we want to investigate, we have no idea where to start..."
When Inspector Megure first entrusted the investigation of Onimare to the uncle, Kogoro Mouri was actually very motivated.
But as Onimare refused to show up, the uncle's three minutes of enthusiasm quickly disappeared, and he turned back into the useless uncle who squatted behind his desk all day watching Miss Yoko's show.
really...
Conan, who has long been accustomed to this, doesn't even want to complain.
"Onimar?"
After hearing what Conan said, Huiyuan Ai thought about it and asked curiously:
"Isn't it said that he is very likely related to the Andrew Kingdom? Was Mr. Maori's assistant also there recently? Didn't she find any information?"
Conan had briefly mentioned the matters of Onimare and Karasuma Ying to Haibara Ai before.
"No." Shaking his head slightly, Conan explained, "I called and asked Xiaoying before, and she didn't find any information related to Onimare there.
But the Andrew Kingdom seems to be in turmoil recently. I heard from Xiaoying that even the commander of the palace guard was murdered. Of course, she didn't tell me the details... Oh, right."
Suddenly remembering something, Conan took out his cell phone and found a photo of a beautiful blue gem.
"This photo was sent to me by Xiaoying a while ago. I heard that it is the blue sapphire, the royal secret treasure that was stolen from the Kingdom of Andrew."
"Is there anything wrong with this gem?" asked Haibara Ai after taking a look.
"This gem is exactly the same as the blue gem that Onimare stole from El Pharmaceutical." Conan frowned.
Karasuma Ying sent this photo back to ask whether the two gems are the same one. Conan, who had seen the blue gem from El Pharmaceutical with his own eyes, gave a positive answer.
He would not be mistaken, the two gems were exactly the same, at least in appearance.
Does this mean that the blue gemstone being researched by El Pharmaceuticals is actually the royal treasure stolen from the Kingdom of Andrew?
But why? Let’s not talk about how this blue sapphire traveled thousands of miles to Japan. What is its value in being studied?
And Onyemare's act of taking it away... Could it be that Onyemare is actually a member of Andrew's royal family? The purpose of his trip was to take back the secret treasure of his country? After achieving this goal, he quietly left?
No, that's a bit too far...
As soon as Conan came to this conclusion in his mind, he quickly shook his head to dispel the thought.
Putting aside other things, Onyemare’s previous murders alone are inexplicable.
What's more, if Onymar really came to retrieve the secret treasure, he could have used other more official means and there was no need to go through so many twists and turns.
There must be something wrong with this gem. It is definitely not an ordinary gem. However, Conan does not know what the problem is yet...
There is also El Pharma, a pharmaceutical company that researches blue gemstones.
During these two days, Conan conducted a more detailed investigation of the company, which allowed him to learn a lot about the company's past history.
El Pharma was established very early, more than 20 years ago. More than 10 years ago, due to the company's successful operations, it once became a global mega-enterprise with great reputation.
But also more than ten years ago, I heard that El Pharmaceuticals made an investment abroad. It was said that this was an extremely failed investment, and the huge losses directly led to the bankruptcy of El Pharmaceuticals.
Afterwards, the then president of El Pharmaceutical resigned, the company replaced its president, and reorganized and listed after introducing new investment.
Over the years, although El Pharma has not returned to its former height as a global enterprise, at least in Japan, it has gradually become one of the leading companies in the pharmaceutical industry.
As for the foreign investment that led to the bankruptcy of the first generation of El Pharmaceuticals, Conan did not find any relevant information.
There was no detailed explanation in the newspapers at the time, it simply stated that El Pharmaceuticals went bankrupt due to failed investments.
I always feel like something is being hidden...
"That person... seems to be Officer Takagi, right?"
Haibara Ai beside him suddenly spoke, and Conan followed her gaze and saw a sneaky figure next to a telephone pole not far ahead.
It was the acquaintance Takagi Wataru.
"Officer Takagi? What are you doing here?" the two men walked up and asked curiously.
"Hey?! Ah? Conan and Ai? Why are you here?" Takagi Wataru was startled and looked at the two of them in panic.
"We just happened to be passing by, Officer Takagi..."
Conan was stunned halfway through his words. He looked in the direction that Takagi Wataru had looked before, and saw three people in the coffee shop across the street.
A strong black man dressed in black, and a woman wearing a windbreaker, a beret and sunglasses.
Opposite this couple was Freya.
The mysterious woman who also disguised herself as Onimare, was arrested by the police and then released by the Andrew Kingdom using diplomatic privileges.
The three of them were sitting in a cafe, seemingly communicating something, and it could be seen that Freya's expression was very solemn.
[Who are the man and woman opposite Freya? Are they also from the Andrew Kingdom? ]
Conan looked up at Takagi Wataru with doubt in his heart and asked cutely:
"Hey, Officer Takagi, are you keeping an eye on her?"
"Surveillance? Shh, shh!"
After being exposed by Conan, Takagi Wataru quickly made a hushing gesture and looked a little nervous.
"Conan, why are you..."
"I heard from Officer Megure and Uncle before... Officer Takagi, has she not left Japan yet?"
"She was just asked to leave the country within a certain period of time. She should leave within the next two days..."
"I see. Officer Takagi, you followed them because you were worried that they would do something bad again?"
"That's right, although they seemed to have done nothing these two days, haha..." Takagi Shigeru smiled embarrassedly.
Just as the two were talking about this, the three people in the cafe suddenly stood up and walked out together.
"Shh!" Seeing this, Takagi Shigeru quickly hid behind a telephone pole.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
At this moment, a yellow-haired gangster shouted loudly behind the three people.
Chapter 2 A little later
Chapter 208: FBI Street Slickers
"Hey! Wait for me!"
Outside the coffee shop, Freya and the foreign couple had just walked out when a young gangster with dyed yellow hair called out to them from behind.
The gangster was wearing a black leather jacket, had tattoos on his arms, and had an extremely arrogant expression on his face.
"It's him again?" Behind the electric pole, Takagi Shigeru looked at the gangster with surprise.
"Officer Takagi, do you know him?" Conan asked curiously when he saw this.
“Oh, his name is Hei Lai Shang, he’s a member of a violent gang, he often causes trouble around here, and he’s a frequent visitor to our Metropolitan Police Department.
