Chapter 590 Suspicion
The Doctor and Fushahui are back from their travels.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Fushahui specially booked a restaurant in a hotel and invited her and the doctor's friends in Tokyo to come to the party.
Suzuki Sonoko put a piece of cake in her mouth, cupped her cheeks and said happily, "Well, I've heard that the desserts in this restaurant are very good. I finally got to eat them today, and they're just as good as the rumors said."
Mao Lilan also smiled: "Yes, yes, it tastes better than many famous dessert shops!"
Suzuki Sonoko was about to say something, but suddenly frowned and said to Mao Lilan: "Xiaolan, look over there."
Maori Ran looked over in confusion and her face immediately turned dark - she saw Maori Kogoro leaning in front of a very beautiful older sister, saying something, which made the beautiful woman giggle non-stop.
Mao Lilan put down the plate with force, clenched her fists and walked over.
Kogoro Mouri was completely unaware of the approaching danger and was still bragging about his past experiences in solving cases - even though he himself had no recollection of the specific circumstances and only learned about them afterwards through files or other people's oral accounts, but that didn't stop him from bragging!
Everyone knows that these cases were solved by "Sleeping Kogoro", and he is Kogoro, so isn't it him who solved those cases?
Just as Kogoro Mori was laughing, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned his head with a stiff neck and saw his daughter, who was covered in black air, standing behind him.
"Ran, Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?" Kogoro Mouri took a step back in fear.
"Hey, dad." Mao Lilan tilted her head and showed a cruel smile, "Did you enjoy the chat?"
A huge drop of sweat flowed down Maori Kogoro's forehead, and he forced a smile: "Lan, what can I do for you?"
Mao Lilan glared, grabbed her old father's clothes, and apologized to the beauty: "Sorry, my father and I have something to talk about. I am rude."
"Ah? Ah, okay..." The beautiful older sister stared blankly at Mouri Ran twisting Mouri Kogoro's ear and dragging him away.
Mao Lilan complained while dragging the baby: "Dad, you are so annoying. Do you know that the people who came today are the doctor and Aunt Fusae's friends?"
How could she hold her head up high if her father was seen in such an embarrassing state by relatives and friends?
And her mother was there too. Although she was chatting with someone and ignored Mouri Kogoro, Mouri Ran knew that she must be very angry.
The dinner a few days ago was canceled due to an unexpected case. Finally, both of them were free and attended the party hosted by the Doctor and Aunt Fusae. Why couldn't they seize this opportunity to restore their relationship?
Maori Kogoro smiled a little guilty: "No, I didn't. I just want to get to know more people. Maybe I will be asked to do something in the future."
"Really?" Mao Lilan looked back at her father suspiciously.
Kogoro Maori nodded repeatedly and said seriously, "Really, look, I have my business cards ready." Then he took out a stack of business cards from his chest pocket.
"Did you really prepare business cards?" Mao Lilan was surprised. This eccentric father would actually have a serious day?
"Is that really the case? Don't uncles always carry business cards and the like with them?" Suddenly, a childlike voice sounded from below.
The two looked down and saw Conan staring at them with innocent eyes.
The corner of Kogoro Maori's mouth twitched slightly.
"dad!!!"
···
On the other side, Miyano Shiho watched this scene, took a sip of hot coffee and said, "This family is still as energetic as ever, eh?"
I can't find the right words to describe it.
Yuya smiled awkwardly: "Don't look at Uncle Kogoro like this, in fact, he is still very reliable when he is reliable..."
"Really?" Miyano Shiho said dimly.
Yuya was stunned for a moment, turned around and his forehead suddenly went dark - originally, Maori Ran stopped Maori Kogoro from finding Kisaki Eri, wanting to reconcile the two, but he didn't know what the uncle said and the two started arguing again.
He couldn't help but cover his forehead: "Forget it, this is how those two people get along..." He turned his head to look out the window with a puzzled expression.
"Huh? Why is there a police car here?"
Several police cars with sirens blaring stopped outside the hotel. Takagi Wataru got out of the car and hurriedly ran into the hotel.
Yuya frowned slightly: "I'll go check out the situation."
When I came to the corridor, I happened to meet Takagi Wataru who was running fast.
"Officer Takagi!" Yuya quickly called out to him.
Takagi Wataru turned around and said, "Yuya-kun?" The surprise on his face was immediately replaced by joy, "Great, you are here too."
He looked behind Youye hesitantly: "What are you doing..."
Youye smiled and told him about the party.
Takagi Wataru's originally happy smile turned into embarrassment: "Is that so..."
"Did something happen?"
"...Yes, we received a report that a murder had occurred here."
"Murder?!" Yuya's eyes narrowed, "Who was murdered?"
Takagi Shigeru replied: "There is an office on the 39th floor of this hotel. The president of the agency specializing in foreign artists was murdered."
"The first person to discover the incident was his secretary. She said that when she returned to the office, the president was sitting on a chair covered in blood, with several gunshot wounds to his upper body."
"The secretary said that the president had an appointment with a foreign artist who was about to debut to discuss something today. That person is highly suspicious."
"Also, the president found this artist on the street and brought him to the company. The secretary has not seen the person yet, so she doesn't know his appearance or name."
Yuya nodded slightly: "When did it happen?"
Takagi Shigeru: "The police were called 2 or 3 minutes ago, and the attack took place 1 or 2 minutes before the police were called. I happened to be working a case nearby and rushed over immediately."
Youya was a little confused: "How do you know the time of the murder so well?"
Takagi Shigeru explained: "Five minutes ago, the secretary was sent by the president to check something in the warehouse two floors below. One minute later, the secretary called the president to report the result, but the result became an automatic voice message. After that..."
Youye said, "In that case, that person should still be in this building."
Takagi Wataru was stunned: "Really? But more than 5 minutes have passed since the incident. It should be enough time for the man to leave the building, right?"
Yuya gestured towards the elevator hall and said, "Look over there. There are three elevators in this building. Two of them are under maintenance today, and the other one is also overcrowded."
"There is a food court on the rooftop. There are many customers coming down from above. Almost every elevator is full of people."
Just at this moment, the elevator door opened with a ding, and several people walked out.
Takagi Wataru suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. After killing someone with a gun, there will be a smell of gunpowder on the body. The murderer must not dare to take an elevator with so many people, so..."
Yuya smiled slightly and continued, "So, he was either pretending to be a customer eating at the food court on the top floor, or hiding in the bathroom on that floor, or running down the stairs sweating profusely."
"No matter which one it is, since they can debut as a reserve artist, they must be able to speak Japanese fluently. Such people should be easy to find, right?"
Takagi Shigeru immediately said, "I understand. I will go find suspicious foreigners who match the description!"
