Chapter 118 Organization Members
Conan did not enter the mourning hall again after returning.
He stood with his back to the entrance of the mourning hall, leaning against a tree trunk, and using the front camera on his mobile phone, pretending to be looking at his phone, taking pictures of people coming in and out.
The number of people who came to pay their respects was no less, and there were men, women, young and old, all present.
Politicians, company presidents, congressmen...even many big figures that Conan has only seen on TV.
"This uncle seems to be from the Shijing Group..."
Conan looked at a certain middle-aged man with a solemn expression and remembered that he had seen him before in the corporate daughter murder case, but out of a rigorous attitude, he still took a photo.
About half an hour later, Conan took pictures of everyone around the mourning hall.
Because Haibara was able to sense the existence of the organization just now, there is no need to worry about the people coming in and out afterwards.
"It's done!"
Conan let out a long breath, but just as he put away his phone, a hand suddenly reached out from his side and grabbed his wrist!
!!!
Conan turned his head sharply.
I don't know when a young man squatted next to me!
The other person was about thirty years old. The wrinkles on his forehead made him look intimidating without even being angry, and his short black hair looked very energetic.
"Little boy, are you taking pictures?"
He frowned at Conan: "It is very bad behavior to take pictures in the funeral hall! Where is your adult?"
“Ah… this… this…”
Conan immediately turned off his phone, touched the back of his head with his other hand and grinned: "Brother, what are you talking about? I'm just playing with my phone here. What do you mean by taking pictures? I don't understand at all!"
The young man said nothing, just stared at him in silence.
When Conan's smile became stiff and his back was wet with sweat, the other party finally let go of his wrist.
"It better be so!"
The young man said coldly: "Go away! This is not a place for you to play!"
"Good~"
Conan acted cute in a baby voice and then quickly ran away.
Wait until his figure disappears.
Another young man walked out next to the young man.
He has brilliant golden hair, dark skin, and eyes as blue as the ocean—who else could it be but Toru Amuro?
"What's going on?" asked Toru Amuro.
The young man turned his head and replied: "It was a little kid... he was irresponsible and didn't dare to admit it even though he took the photo."
"Oh~"
Amuro Toru touched his chin, thought for a moment and said casually: "Maybe he was afraid of being scolded for playing a prank."
He shrugged and put the incident behind him.
Just now he felt that someone was taking pictures of him secretly, and due to his sensitive identity, he asked his companions to come and take a look.
But since the other party is a child, he should not be targeting me.
As for the photos in the other person's mobile phone, Toru Amuro didn't care.
He often goes out for work and has his own detective agency, so things like photos are semi-public.
Seeing this, the young man said nothing more and brought the topic back to his own business: "Mr. Amuro, my brother worked here before he disappeared!"
He introduced carefully: "My brother is called Koda Yota, he is 36 years old, and he used to be the captain of the security team here, but just a week ago, I couldn't contact him at all!"
The young man said with a somewhat resentful expression: "I came to Jiang Shou's house to ask them about the situation, but they only perfunctorily told me that my brother resigned on his own and they didn't know where he went afterwards!"
Toru Amuro took out a small notebook and wrote and drew something, then asked calmly, "So, Mr. Koda, when was the last time you contacted your brother?"
"It was three days before I found out he was missing!" Mr. Koda waved his fist excitedly, "He told me at the time that the salary here was very high, and I didn't hear him thinking of quitting at all! My brother's disappearance must be the work of the Jiang Shou Group!"
Amuro Toru comforted him and concluded: "So you think that Jiang Shoujia killed your brother, and for some purpose, he covered up the truth, right?"
Koda nodded vigorously: "Is there any other possibility?"
"I understand." Amuro closed the book: "I will investigate."
……
Conan trotted and pushed open the door of the house.
The living room was empty, not a single child was to be seen.
He stopped a servant nearby, looked up and asked, "Sister, do you know where Xiao Huang is?"
"Are you talking about the young master?" The maid pointed to the stairs and said, "He just took a few children back to their room to play. It's on the second floor."
"Thank you sister!"
Conan smiled and thanked him, then rushed up the stairs.
He was now anxious to get home to screen the photos, so he prepared to ask all the questions quickly.
Standing in the corridor on the second floor, Conan could hear a faint laughter. Following the sound, he easily found the room where the people were.
He knocked on the door and pushed it open.
Ayumi was the first to laugh and said, "Conan, you're finally back! Did you find the thing?"
"Come here quickly, Conan! Jiang Shou has a lot of limited edition toys at home!" Mitsuhiko called out loudly, holding a Kamen Rider in his hand.
Yuantai was having a lot of fun playing with the toy car on the ground.
Gray Principle sat in a chair and read a magazine.
She was looking very seriously, but when the door opened, she immediately looked over, but then quickly snorted and turned her head away, with no intention of speaking at all.
Conan's mouth twitched at this.
He and a few of his friends responded and then fixed their eyes on the child sitting in the corner of the room.
Jiang Shouhuang did not participate in their games. He just sat beside them with his knees hugged, looking a little lonely.
Conan could understand it, after all, his grandfather had just died in front of him last night.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of the policeman who accidentally killed Jiang Shouzhezhisuke.
According to Uncle Maori, the man is Yoshimoto Ryota, a police officer on duty at a nearby police station. Although a wanted order has been issued, he has not been found and no one knows where he is hiding.
When Jiang Shouhuang saw Conan, he stood up a little stiffly.
"Ah... hello."
He greeted awkwardly.
I don’t know what’s going on. Even though we’re acquaintances whom I’ve met once, I feel more uncomfortable with him than with others.
Conan didn't waste time and went straight to the point: "Xiao Huang, why did you call me for help that day?"
Jiang Shouhuang was stunned for a moment, unable to suppress the memory of the day in the dungeon. He covered his arm awkwardly: "I, I called other people too...but only your call went through."
Conan frowned and immediately confirmed, "Only me? Are you sure?"
"Yeah." Jiang Shouhuang whispered, "Whether it's the police call or my parents' call, none of them can be connected... Only yours can be connected."
Conan's expression suddenly became serious, but there was also a hint of understanding in it.
It turned out to be beyond his expectations—Su Beixun’s death was not that simple!
The other party obviously lured them here on purpose and then killed them in public!
But...why him?
Conan thought about it and there was only one explanation.
——If you call the police, it will only attract the police, but if you call him, you can attract the police and Suzuki Tomoko together!
After all, the Suzuki Group had also issued a bounty on him. If he died, Suzuki Tomoko would revoke the bounty.
"Where is Su Beixun's room?"
Conan suddenly asked: "Can you take me to see it?"
"Oh, sure!"
Jiang Shouhuang walked over and opened the door: "Please follow me."
Conan immediately followed, but there were four more tails behind him.
His forehead jumped. "Hey, you guys, can't you just stay here and have fun? Why do you have to follow me?"
Ayumi immediately retorted: "Although I don't quite understand what you just said, but you are going to investigate now, right?"
Mitsuhiko continued: "We are the Junior Detective Team. Investigation is of course more important than playing!"
"That's right!" Yuan Tai raised his fist to the sky.
Conan rolled his eyes: "I really can't stand it."
He looked at Huibara again: "Why did you come along? Haven't you always had no interest in investigations?" "Well, women are curious." Huibara narrowed her eyes and spread her hands: "I also want to see the dangerous elements that Gin mentioned."
Conan is tired.
Soon, Jiang Shouhuang pushed open Su Beixun's door.
The room was very clean, the curtains were wide open, sunlight filled every inch of the space, and the beams of light shining through the glass looked very warm.
Conan ran straight in.
He first looked on the pillow and the bathroom drain, but didn't find a single hair.
Not giving up, he opened the cabinet door and every drawer one by one, but they were completely empty.
In the end, Conan only found a stack of game cartridges in the bedside table.
"Wow, this is the latest model that was released not long ago!" Yuantai's eyes lit up and he hugged them in his arms.
"Yuanta... stop making trouble!"
Conan took the cassette back and studied it over and over again: "Is there any secret in it?"
"……I think should not be."
Jiang Shouhuang shook his head: "I have played all of these. They are just normal games, nothing special."
"You've played them all?" Yuan Tai said loudly in shock, "Really? You've really played them all... Damn it! I envy you so much!"
Jiang Shouhuang scratched his head.
Huiyuan walked to Conan with her hands behind her back and said in a strange tone: "Oh my, it turns out that the person someone has always been thinking about is just a game fanatic."
"But..." She stretched out her hand and brushed across the spotless bedside table: "This kind of caution of not leaving any clues should really be learned by a certain great detective who has become smaller and can only take clothes from his own home. If it weren't for me, he would have been exposed long ago."
Conan's eyes suddenly turned into beady eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he said, "Gossip!"
Huibara hummed in pleasure.
Conan held up the game cartridges and asked Jiang Shouxiang, "Can you lend these to me for a while?"
"No problem." Jiang Shouhuang agreed readily.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tai immediately pointed his finger at himself: "What about me? Can I borrow it too?"
Mitsuhiko was also a little excited: "Actually, I also want to try it."
"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Shouhuang was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm: "You can all take it and play with it."
"That's great!" Several people cheered immediately.
Conan suddenly asked at this time: "By the way, Xiao Huang, why did Su Beixun send you back that day?"
Jiang Shou froze for a moment, looking a little unnatural: "I... didn't I say that I don't know what happened... he just sent me back inexplicably."
Conan frowned and said sincerely: "Xiao Huang, this matter may be very important. I hope you can tell me the truth!"
【Is it important?】
[Of course it’s important to me! ]
[But that’s why I can’t say it! ]
Jiang Shouhuang was a little annoyed. He raised his voice unconsciously, saying, "I said, I don't know!"
The atmosphere cooled down for a moment.
Jiang Shouhuang pursed his lips and turned away.
The three little ones looked at each other.
Ayumi tugged at Conan's sleeve: "Conan, you're going too far!"
"That's right!" Mitsuhiko followed up, "Jiang Shou let us play with toys and even lent us game cartridges... You actually don't trust such a good person!"
Yuan Tai also said: "I advise you to apologize to them."
"What?" Conan was a little mad: "This is obviously not my fault!"
After a few words, Conan decided to go home and sort through the photos. He would apologize to the child later when he had time.
However, they waited for a long time at the door of the villa but did not see a taxi.
"It's over!" Conan scratched his head: "What should we do now?"
Ayumi looked at the guests coming and going: "We can only ask these uncles to take us back."
"Eh?" Mitsuhiko was a little timid: "But they all look so serious, they are all important people... and I don't know if it's on the way."
"Eh~"
Ayumi suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Why don't we ask Xiao Huang to let us stay here for one night!"
"Good idea!" Yuan Tai agreed: "I've wanted to live in a villa this big for a long time. Besides, we can play video games with Jiang Shou at night!"
"I have no objection."
Huibara yawned and whispered, "I'd rather hide here for a night than to ask for help from guests who might be members of an organization."
"I don't want to!" Conan objected vehemently.
He just had a fight and he asked for a place to stay. Even with his thick skin as a high school student, it would be embarrassing!
But with the odds of four to one, Yuan Tai still forcibly carried him back.
Jiang Shouhuang was a little surprised to see them come back, but he did not refuse their request.
"The rooms on the right side of the second floor are all guest rooms. They are fully equipped with basic amenities. You can stay here at your convenience."
Jiang Shouhuang introduced them.
Several people were assigned to a room and went in to experience it immediately.
Conan went in to take a look. After finding that there were no computers in these rooms, he thought about it and ran to Su Beixun's room.
——He needs a computer to compare the people in the photos.
Just as Conan was transferring the photos into the computer, the door was pushed open with a click.
He immediately turned around and wanted to explain to Jiang Shouxiang, but found that it was Haibara Ai who came in.
"How did you come?"
Huiyuan snorted coldly: "I'm here to remind you how dangerous what you are doing now is!"
"Don't give me that." Conan rolled his eyes and said indifferently: "I finally got these photos, I don't want to give them up just like that."
"Then I'll keep an eye on you even more!"
Huiyuan was already familiar with his character, so she was not surprised by his words. She said firmly, "At least I still have a chance to stop you before you drag me down with you!"
"Whatever you say." Conan shrugged and turned back to continue operating.
As Haibara spoke, she moved closer and stood behind Conan very naturally, staring at the hundred or so photos on the computer screen in silence.
"How's it going? Do you know anyone?"
While searching for relevant information, Conan printed out photos on a printer. Every time he found an identity, he wrote it on the back of the photo with a pen.
"No, not at all!" Huiyuan shook her head. "But it's not surprising. I'm a scientific researcher and don't have much contact with other core members. Over the years, I've only seen Gin and Vodka."
"...That's it."
Conan nodded, then wrote down the information he had found behind a photo of an elderly person.
"Kenzo Masuyama, Chairman of the Automobile Company... But does the Jiangshou Group still have anything to do with the automobile industry?"
Conan muttered a few words and put the photo aside.
time flies.
When it was getting dark, Conan finally finished all the work.
He put down his pen and rubbed his sore wrist.
"Wow, so many, where are you going to start?" Huibara raised the finger-thick photos in her hand.
Conan picked out one accurately.
He is a young man in his 30s with a black crew cut.
"It's him!"
Conan placed it alone on the table and stated his evidence.
"I photographed so many people today, but he was the only one who noticed something was wrong... He has such a keen insight, he doesn't seem like an ordinary person!"
