Chapter 803 Threatening Letter
Lupin sighed: "I really wanted to say this, but you seem to have been a little careless this time!"
Fujiko Mine looked at Lupin in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Lupin's smile was a bit regretful, but also a bit gloating: "That bomb must be real no matter how you look at it, right?"
"Liar!" Mine Fujiko cried out in grievance, knowing that not only could he not threaten the man, but he had fallen into his hands instead, so he had no choice but to hand over the revolver.
"How bad of you to deceive a weak woman!" Mine Fujiko cursed and threw the sapphire into the car. "If you want it so much, I'll give it to you!"
The man raised his eyebrows, not sure whether he was surprised that Mine Fujiko handed over the gem so easily or because he saw her charming figure after she turned around.
Fujiko Mine asked, with his hands on his hips, "So, what's next? Do you want to see my head and body separated?"
The man chuckled, signaled his men to retreat with their pistols, and then said, "Although my taste seems to be questioned, our deal is done."
"After confirming that we are safe, I will immediately disarm the bomb. Of course, once the gem is found to be fake..."
Lupin immediately said, "Don't worry, it's the real deal. Why, don't tell me this is another test?"
The man chuckled and said, "No, this is the last one."
He gestured to Mine Fujiko at the car behind Lupin and said, "That car is for you. The coat inside is a gift for you."
Mine Fujiko turned his face away with disdain: "Thank you so much."
The man looked at the two of them coldly and said in a deep voice, "We probably won't meet again." After that, he rolled up the window and drove away quickly.
Lupin and Mine Fujiko watched the car leave, their eyes flickering and no one knew what they were thinking.

In the conference room.
Inspector Megure formally introduced Emilion and others.
“We are gathered here because...”
"Inspector!" Luciano interrupted Inspector Megure, "Is it okay for you to tell me what happened?"
Shiratori Renzaburo smiled and said, "Don't be fooled by Mr. Maori's appearance. He is a famous detective. You can trust him completely..."
Maori Kogoro straightened his collar and said seriously: "The previous sentence is redundant. But I believe my ability can come in handy."
"And this one," Shiratori Renzaburo naturally wouldn't forget his good brother, "Kamiya Yuya, also a famous high school detective in Japan."
Luciano and Claudia looked at each other and nodded.
Claudia took her bag, a worried look on her face, "Actually, I received a letter for Emilion this morning."
He took a letter out of his bag and placed it on the table.
Kogoro Mouri became serious instantly, took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on, then picked up the envelope, opened it and started reading.
Yuya hurried over.
"What, what is this?!" Maori Kogoro's face suddenly changed. He stared at the letter inside, and after a while, he looked at Yuya, "What's written on it?"
Youye was caught off guard and almost sprained his waist. He covered his face speechlessly: "Uncle, you have been creating the atmosphere for a long time, but you can't understand it? Let me see."
Yuya, also wearing gloves, took the letter from Maori Kogoro and started reading it.
"I see. It's a letter made up of words cut out from newspapers. It's in Italian..."
He quickly scanned it and said, "The general meaning of the content is to cancel the concert immediately, otherwise Emilion will die."
Mao Lilan and the others shouted in shock: "Threatening letter?!"
Youya put the letter aside, and Shiratori Renzaburo understood and took out the evidence bag and took it in.
He looked across and asked, "Has anyone come into contact with this letter?"
Luciano quickly said, "I haven't touched it."
Claudia said, "I have touched Emilion."
Inspector Megure said in a deep voice: "So if a third person's fingerprint is detected on the letter, that person must be the criminal, right?"
Yuya said dimly, "It would be easy if it were so easy to find out."
Inspector Megure didn't say anything. He knew that this was basically impossible, but he still had to investigate. What if?
Claudia looked at Inspector Megure and was about to say something when Emilion shouted in a slightly terrified tone, "Why don't we cancel the concert? I don't want to die!"
"Don't say such things casually!" Luciano shouted angrily, "Do you know how much money we invested in this concert?"
"They also asked the Dongdu Stadium to rush to complete the renovation. Not to mention that the tickets have already sold out. How can they easily cancel it at this critical juncture?"
Suzuki Sonoko touched her bag with some reluctance. There were several concert tickets in it. Those were the tickets for the best seats that she had obtained with the help of the Suzuki Group. It would be a pity if the concert was cancelled.
But she didn't want to put Emilion in danger, and her face was conflicted.
Yuya glanced at Emilion, whose face was in pain, and sighed in his heart: Even an internationally renowned singer is essentially an ordinary person, and it is normal for him to be afraid of death.
Inspector Megure said, "The only people who knew Emilion staying at this hotel were the concert staff and some of the hotel employees. We can start the investigation with these people."
Shiratori Renzaburo added: "But we cannot rule out the possibility that an outsider committed the crime. Some fanatical fans will use all means to find out the hotel he stayed in."
Yuya and the others subconsciously looked at Suzuki Sonoko. It was not that they suspected that Suzuki Sonoko would send a threatening letter, but her behavior was consistent with the image of a fanatical fan described by Shiratori - the latter immediately shrank behind the sofa guiltily.
Inspector Megure ignored the little tricks of Yuya and the others and continued, "Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that this letter is a prank. Just in case, I will send plainclothes police officers to stand guard."
Compared to real threatening letters, prank cases are actually the most common. Before the matter is investigated thoroughly, it is impossible for Inspector Megure to dispatch all police forces based on just one letter.
This will give real criminals an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Suddenly, Maori Kogoro shouted loudly: "I know who the criminal is!"
"What?" Everyone looked at him in surprise.
Even Yuya and Conan looked surprised, as they had no idea yet.
