Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

——No matter how cowardly Conan is, he would never be so humble as to ask Rei to help him call the police.

But to Lie, this is what Conan meant.

So, at Conan's "request", Lie happily made a phone call to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Apart from him, others were not so happy, especially the employees of Libra.

The press conference was supposed to start soon, so why did a murder happen at this time? !

For a moment, except for the first eyewitness, Minamoto Ryutaro, no one else paid much attention to how the deceased died or why the murderer killed people. Instead, they were more worried about what to do with the press conference later.

Fortunately, Tuyuan Sanshang was a sensible man. He decisively gave the order to suspend the press conference and announce it to the public that it would be postponed.

"Conan~What are you looking at?"

Lie followed Conan around the stage with a curious look on his face.

"I'm looking for clues... The body was dead no more than half an hour ago, which matches the time we came here, but at that time, Mr. Bochi was still standing on the stage." Conan, who was focused on solving the case, had almost no perception of the surrounding environment. He would probably answer even if Maori Kogoro asked him that. "And then we sat in the lounge and didn't come out at all, so the murderer must be someone who was behind our lounge today and approached the stage."

"But it's very strange. There were security guards and photographers at the door, so how come no one noticed the murderer..."

"Hey, Conan, Xiaolan is looking at you~"

"?!"

Conan, who had just entered the reasoning mode, was startled and immediately exited the mode, with a silly and cute expression on his face as he looked at the results below the stage...

Xiaolan was talking to Sonoko with a worried look on her face and didn't even look at him.

Conan: I'm hard again!
Don't get me wrong, he means fists.

However, Conan soon straightened his posture: "Mr. Lin, can you help me ask what they were doing before?"

He stretched out his little finger and pointed at the three people standing in the audience.

They are Ryutaro Minamoto who is still trembling, Shakuhei Mishima who brought them here, and... Mikami Tsuchimoto who has been supervising the on-site work here.

Lie glanced at a few people, and after making eye contact with Tsuchimoto Mikami, he chuckled, picked up Conan, and said with a grin: "Da me yo~ It's the duty of the police to inquire~ We passers-by just need to wait for the police to come~"

While speaking, Lie's eyes accidentally glanced towards the door.

Just this one glance almost made Lie Rumuchunfeng's expression collapse.

Fortunately, he just paused for a moment, and then suddenly became extremely happy and took Conan around in circles in the venue.

Conan: ...

Mr. Lin's behavior today is very strange...

It’s tricky!
……

Matsuda Jinpei didn't know whether Rei was up to something or not.

He just felt a little unlucky...

Can't we just let him work properly? Why is it that every time I see him on duty, either the 'Night' is looking for him to be a spy or I see Lie? 'There is definitely something wrong with this case.'
When he arrived at the crime scene, Jinpei Matsuda had this thought reflexively as soon as he saw Retsu.

Of course, the problem may not lie with the case itself, but what role Lie wants to play in the case, or how Lie hopes the case will develop... just like using John to avenge the enemy who killed his son.

but……

Jinpei Matsuda glanced at his two superiors.

Inspector Megure is leading the team today, Rei shouldn't be so blatant...

After a routine inspection and maintenance of the scene and an assessment of the deceased's condition, the on-site inquiry work was carried out naturally:
"The deceased was 41 years old and a mid-level network engineer at Libera Corporation... The cause of death was a fruit knife stabbed directly into the heart from behind. Judging from the marks on the body, there was an obvious mark on the cheek. The murderer must have attacked from behind, covered the man's mouth to prevent him from making any sound, and then stabbed him with the knife."

Officer Megure finished reading the record written by Matsuda Jinpei, and looked seriously at the three people who had been ruled out at the time of the death of the deceased. "Three, can you please explain what you have done since they entered until now?"

As soon as Inspector Megure arrived, he learned from Xiaolan, Sonoko and the eager-eyed Conan that more than forty minutes ago, when they passed by the stage and entered the lounge, Hamachi Hironari was still alive.

The first person to speak was the first witness of the corpse, Minamoto Ryutaro.

"I, I was on the stage before, adjusting the position and angle of the laser anchor point."

This skinny man was probably seeing a corpse for the first time, and he was still shaking a little. He pointed tremblingly at the curtain behind them.

Only then did Conan notice that there were many bumps and depressions of varying sizes on the dark blue curtains, and the same was true for the curtains on the ground.

"These are the anchor points... Because the press conference was originally going to show everyone the characters and scenes of the game in a holographic way, so this new projection method was used." Seeing the confusion on the faces of Inspector Megure and the others, Minamoto Ryutaro also explained very insightfully, "The projected light is reflected and fixed through the anchor points, and virtual game characters can be formed on the stage. It looks like the characters in the game have walked out of reality..."

"Hmm... I think I understand."

Officer Megure solemnly pretended to understand and nodded, "Have you been on the stage all this time?"

Gen Ryutaro hesitated for a moment, looked at Tsuchimoto Mikami and Mishima Shakuhei, and lowered his voice a little: "No, no..."

"Huh? When did you leave?" Inspector Megure narrowed his eyes, as if he had caught something, and picked up a notebook and pen to write it down.

"Well, probably..."

Yuan Longtaro couldn't remember the time for a while, so he could only use the time when Conan and the others came as the node, "It was just a few minutes after they went in...

Wait a minute, officer! I didn't kill him! I had already made all the adjustments, so I went to the control room and asked them to start the car and test it..."

Minamoto Ryuutarou was halfway through his words when he noticed the way Inspector Megure was looking at the criminal, and he immediately shuddered to defend himself:

"After I went in, it was Mr. Mishima who came out with me! At that time, Hachi was still fine!"

Officer Megure frowned and turned to look at Mishima Shakuhei: "Is that so, Mr. Mishima?"

"Yes, indeed."

Mishima Chihiro's expression was calm, just like Domoto Misaki's, "After confirming, I told them and went back to the control room, and Yuanlong seemed to have gone to the toilet."

Yuan Longtaro nodded repeatedly, saying that he had just come out of the toilet and wanted to walk directly from the stage to the lounge opposite to save a few steps, but he found that his colleague had collapsed on the podium and was unconscious...
