Chapter 39 The Beginning

"for you!"

Su Beixun threw the pistol wrapped in a towel - to avoid fingerprints and gunpowder smoke reactions - to Takahashi Ryoichi.

Then he was fed a tube of poisonous blue liquid.

Then let him jump out of the window and disappear into the quiet forest.

"Student Su Bei!"

Bang~
The door was kicked open by Mao Lilan.

The bright light once again filled every corner of the house. Looking at the tragic corpses with severed heads and arms in the house, everyone was stunned.

##
"It's OK! Fortunately, the bullet didn't stay in the body. Although I was shot three times, the injury is not serious."

The young Mediterranean doctor bandaged his left arm and said with emotion in a tone that said, "You're so lucky."

Su Beixun did not comment.

He was shot on purpose last night, of course he avoided the vital parts. Otherwise, with the ability of [Disaster], a pistol would not be able to hurt him at all.

"That's great, Su Bei!"

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who were waiting on the side, breathed a sigh of relief.

When they rushed into the room yesterday, Su Beixun was sitting on the bed, covering his bleeding wound, with a dazed expression, staring at the window motionlessly.

So pale!
So when the police arrived, they rushed him to the nearest hospital.

Sato Miwako, who was waiting nearby, stepped forward, took out a pen and paper, and asked in a friendly manner, "Excuse me, Mr. Su Bei, if it's convenient, could you tell us what happened last night?"

Su Beixun looked uneasy, as if he was still frightened. He spoke intermittently, "I... I don't know either... Last night I was sleeping, and my shoulder suddenly hurt, so I screamed... Then, I heard... the sound of an axe chopping... But the room was too dark, I couldn't see anything..."

Miwako Sato asked some other questions, but when she couldn't get anything out of them, she got up and left amid the doctor's complaints that "the patient needs to rest."

"Well, if you have anything to add, feel free to contact me!"

She nodded at Su Beixun who was lying on the hospital bed, then pushed open the door and left the ward.

"Wait a minute, Officer Sato!"

Conan trotted after her and called out to Sato Miwako.

Sato Miwako looked back in surprise, then squatted down and said with a smile: "It's you, Conan. What's wrong? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Conan pretended to be well-behaved, put his hands behind his back and looked up, saying: "This is what I just told Uncle Maori about this matter. The uncle was very interested, so he asked me to ask you about the situation."

"That's it..."

Miwako Sato hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, this case is really very strange..."

She looked at Conan's curious eyes and didn't keep him in suspense: "First of all, the identity of the deceased Akiyohara Mi... She used a fake face! The real Akiyohara Mi has been in Hokkaido. She has an alibi."

"what?!"

Conan was shocked: "You mean that face is fake? Then, who is her real identity?"

Miwako Sato shook her head: "I don't know, but that face looks extremely similar to international superstar Chris Wynyard. However, it is not clear whether it is plastic surgery."

Chris Wynyard?

Conan pulled his chin and frowned. He remembered how she paid attention to Xiaolan and himself when they were in the villa... Could it be that they had had some kind of intersection before?

He thought for a moment and asked again, "Hey, Officer Sato. What's the relationship between Brother Subei and Akiyoharami?"

As he spoke, his head sank slightly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "If the relationship between the two of them is average, then bringing the inexplicably visiting Akihabara Mei to the party together means that Brother Su Bei is very likely to know that the other party is a fake!"

Sato Miwako flipped through her notes and said, "We haven't had time to go to Hokkaido to investigate this yet."

Conan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized - that was right, after all, it had only been five hours since the incident.

Miwako Sato continued: "Secondly, it's about the death of the bandage man." Conan was shocked again: "Who are you talking about? The bandage man is dead?!"

Sato Miwako nodded, her expression a little serious: "Just this morning at five o'clock, we found the dead bandaged man deep in the forest, and his real identity is Takahashi Ryoichi who was with you."

Conan had anticipated this - after all, when the police arrived, Takahashi Ryoichi was the only one missing, and he also deduced how he killed Chikako and why he attacked Xiaolan.

but……

"How did he die?"

"He committed suicide by taking poison."

Miwako Sato held her chin and made the same gesture as Conan: "A bottle of poison was found next to him, and only his fingerprints were collected on it... I guess he knew he was exposed, so he committed suicide..."

Something is wrong. This is so wrong!
The person disguised as Akiyohara Mi wants to kill Su Beixun, but the bandage man is saving him... Why? Takahashi Ryoichi has never met him before.

So, did Takahashi Ryoichi come to kill Su Beixun? Because he saw his size. He just bumped into Akihabara Mi and started fighting first... No, why didn't the bandage monster kill Akihabara Mi first and then Su Beixun? It was just an axe anyway.

Conan ruled out the possibilities one by one in his mind - the most likely possibility was that Takahashi Ryoichi was coerced by Su Beixun for some unknown reason and forced to help him... But if that was the case, it would mean that he knew all about Akiyohara Mi's attack, and how could he make Takahashi Ryoichi die so willingly?
"Hey, Conan, what kind of person do you think Su Beixun is?"

Conan was stunned while thinking, and asked in confusion: "Why do you ask that? Does Officer Sato also think there is something wrong with him? Or does the police have clues that can prove that he is the murderer?"

"No, no, I'm just curious."

Officer Sato waved her hand. She hesitated for a moment, and felt that there was no need to hide anything. "Do you know about the last interrogation of the Jiang Ko Ikawa case?"

Conan nodded - he asked the police using a voice changer to impersonate Uncle Maori's voice.

"When we were interrogating the leader of the Italian robber group, we found that the number that Su Beixun mentioned to contact his client was called by the leader... But the other party said that he only asked Su Beixun to help him hide the money, and Su Beixun refused!"

Miwako Sato recalled Su Beixun's expression and the experience he described at the time, and still did not think he was the murderer: "We thought he might have lied for self-protection... But after all, we had to investigate the truth. We had planned to talk to him in two days, but we didn't expect to be involved in something like this again."

She scratched her cheek: "So I want to ask, is he a very unlucky person in his daily life?"

"..."

Before Conan could speak, Sato Miwako took out her vibrating cell phone, stood up and said, "It was Officer Takagi, probably urging me, what a bother... See you later, Conan!"

After waving goodbye, she walked to the stairs of the fire escape and answered the phone: "Hello, it's me..."

"This is terrible, Officer Sato!" Officer Takagi shouted in a panic, "The police car transporting the body was hijacked on the road!"

##
He is the only one in the ward now.

He drove Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki away on the pretext of needing to rest.

He got out of bed in a white hospital gown, opened the curtains barefoot, and looked at the busy street outside.

I had been planning to develop secretly in Tokyo for a while, but now I have to put it on hold.

It is now eight o'clock in the morning, and he has about ten hours at most - Su Beixun knows very well that Vermouth's death will definitely cause an uprising in the organization, and they will take action tonight at the latest.

Intellectually speaking, releasing Vermouth last night was the best choice. But his emotions could not tolerate it. After someone actually attacked him, he had to take a step back and see what was ahead.

Although it is not obvious on the surface, his experience of trampling on Japanese laws for nearly ten years and being at ease after countless visits to the police station has inevitably made him develop a sense of arrogance - as can be seen from the fact that he did not hesitate to wait for Gin in order to achieve his world goal.

He would consider the consequences before doing anything and would think of the response methods in advance. But! That was after he had done the thing!

It was like he had intentionally gotten injured in order to avoid the trouble of going to the police station and give himself enough time to deal with the winery's retaliation.

The other party is powerful and involves all aspects. If they want to retaliate, it will be as crazy as a storm.

But so what? !
He raised his head.

The warm morning sunlight hit his face, illuminating a conceited and arrogant face.

He, Su Beixun, will never lose!
