The world of science is unscientific

Were you serious about stepping back?

"biu~~"

After a slight noise, there was the sound of glass shattering on the ground.

The crowd immediately became commotion.

"what happened?"

What was that sound?

"Hurry up and turn on the lights!?" Inspector Megure shouted in the darkness.

In just a few breaths, the light was turned on.

The organization's target, Shigehiko Tsuruguchi, was already pinned under the crystal chandelier, his blood splattered with glittering shards of glass.

"This is truly tragic," Suzuki Yusuke glanced at the crowd and took a few steps back.

Police quickly secured the scene and removed the crystal chandelier from Shigehiko Tomoguchi's body.

By this time, he was already some distance away from Vermouth. Seeing that the other woman gave him an unfriendly look, he reluctantly moved closer.

When he arrived, the police were questioning Vermouth, and they asked him as well.

Yusuke Suzuki naturally stated that he hadn't seen anything.

“This was definitely an accident,” the male musician with long, flowing hair said. “The lamp’s ring had been in disrepair for a long time, and it just happened to fall on that politician’s head.”

"Officer, you just said someone called the police to report a crime. Who is this person? Before you question us, shouldn't you give us a detailed introduction of the person who made the report? Maybe this person who made the report is the murderer."

Pisco squinted, trying to extract information from the person who reported the incident.

Inspector Megure said helplessly, "That person used a machine to alter their voice when reporting the crime, so it's impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman."

Taking advantage of the police's attention being focused on Pisco, Vermouth whispered, "The mission is complete. Now, cooperate with the investigation and leave."

"learn."

Yusuke Suzuki scanned the venue and locked onto Ai Haibara.

However, Pisco is indeed quite skilled. Although he used the fluorescent light to locate the ring, he was able to hit it with a single shot. Considering his age of over seventy, his marksmanship must have been even more terrifying when he was younger.

Moreover, this operation was practically perfect. There was no clear motive, the method was covert, and no evidence could be found. Unfortunately, they ran into Conan, and the clues were delivered to their doorstep.

The handkerchief landed precisely on Conan's head.

A fragment of a ring with fluorescent markings was eaten. A normal person would spit it back into the plate and wouldn't make a fuss. But this arrogant guy spat the fragment in front of Conan and made a loud fuss to get Conan's attention.

That's not the case. Conan would hardly imagine that Pix used a gun to break the ring and a handkerchief to block the muzzle flash.

This is the world of Detective Conan.

Chapter 43 Conan: I'm Definitely Going to Die

"What are you thinking?"

Vermouth suddenly asked, "Gin said that you sometimes suddenly space out, completely oblivious to your surroundings. I didn't expect it to be true. You look really cute when you space out."

Yusuke Suzuki: "..."

He felt like he was being teased.

As for spacing out... he said he was speechless. When Conan and his friends were spacing out and analyzing cases in their minds, no one would think anything of it. Sometimes, even when they were thinking about a lot of things, all they showed in this world was a moment of blankness.

But what about him?

That became a distinctive characteristic of him. Gin, that lunatic, would time him every time he was thinking, then tell him and make a sarcastic remark.

This is discrimination! It's unfair!

Yusuke Suzuki made no attempt to hide anything and said directly, "I'm thinking about Pisco's course of action."

"You've already seen through his methods?" Vermouth asked, somewhat surprised.

At this moment, the doors to the venue were opened again, and a crowd of reporters crowded in, with flashes going off incessantly.

Conan and Ai Haibara took the opportunity to squeeze out, and the venue doors closed again.

The police investigation yielded no results, and it could almost be classified as an accident. There was no reason to keep so many guests there.

After weighing the options, Inspector Megure decided to let everyone leave.

The venue doors were opened again and again, and everyone left one after another. The reporters outside were in an uproar, grabbing anyone they could, regardless of who they were.

"Excuse me, were you next to the deceased when the accident happened?"

"Could you please tell us what happened?"

"..."

Yusuke Suzuki naturally followed suit and left eagerly. He wanted to leave the venue directly, as Vermouth would be left behind. If he didn't run away quickly, he was afraid Vermouth would conscript him.

"Hey!"

Vermouth wanted to maintain her composure and wait for the crowd to disperse before going out, but Suzuki Yusuke disappeared in an instant.

"This guy..."

Before Suzuki Yusuke had even left the Beika Hotel, he saw Inspector Megure leading police officers back to look for someone.

He edited the email.

[Vermouth was detained by the police - Grouse]

Is it troublesome? —Gin

[No trouble, I've already left. The target is dead. —Grouse]

【Understood. —Gin】

After sending the email, he ran into the alley and tore off his disguise.

The reporters have wasted a lot of time. Ai Haibara should have already been taken away by Pisco.

The ground was covered in snow. Suzuki Yusuke took out two pieces of thin cloth that he had prepared in advance and wrapped them around his shoes to erase the footprints he had left on this side of the street before heading towards the wine cellar.

Since he chose to be discreet, he naturally wouldn't just break down the door. To avoid losing his hair, he even wore a cashmere hat.

After confirming that Piss wasn't in the cellar, he climbed onto the roof, entered the cellar through the chimney, and immediately saw the unconscious Ai Haibara.

There was still time, so he recorded an audio clip of himself breathing nervously, and then quietly slipped into the fireplace.

"Kudo...is that you? Where are you?"

Ai Haibara woke up, her voice weak.

Yusuke Suzuki continued to wait.

"Kudo, listen to me, the 'AP' in APTX-4869 stands for Apoptoxin..."

"..."

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to speak to you again in my life."

Just then, Yusuke Suzuki crept up behind Ai Haibara and plunged the tranquilizer dart he had secretly taken from Professor Agasa's house into the back of her neck.

It's a reputable brand, and with Kogoro Mouri as the test subject, I feel safe using it.

Ai Haibara's face had just shown a look of terror when she fell asleep again.

Conan's anxious and puzzled voice came from behind her black-rimmed glasses. Suzuki Yusuke took off his glasses and imitated Pisco's voice.

"Shiho, sleep a little longer."

After saying that, he stomped on his glasses and smashed them.

On the other end, Conan was terrified when he heard the voice. Pisco was actually Kenzo Masuyama, and Ai Haibara's identity had been exposed!

Yusuke Suzuki stuck the megaphone inside the fireplace and played the audio he had just recorded on a loop. Then, he hugged Ai Haibara to his chest and left through the fireplace.

This place was close to his home, so in case Gin suddenly came looking for him, he took Ai Haibara home directly.

Sure enough, just as he finished putting Ai Haibara on the bed, Gin's email arrived.

【Wait for me next to Beika Hotel – Gin】

But I'm already home. —Grouse

【Then come again. —Gin】

After changing his appearance, Yusuke Suzuki rushed to the Beika Hotel.

Conan didn't know where Ai Haibara was, so he asked Professor Agasa to go into the venue to find Inspector Megure.

A moment later, he saw the Porsche 356A stop across the street, and three people get out...?

How come there's another guy here? I've never seen him before.

Conan jumped out of the car and secretly followed the three of them.

After meeting up with Gin, Yusuke Suzuki expressed his questions.

"We're going to execute a traitor in a bit. You can come and watch."

Gin seemed particularly happy, no longer wearing his usual cold expression.

"Are you warning me?" Yusuke Suzuki chuckled. "Did Vermouth say something to you?"

"She was also thinking of the organization. I hope you understand the consequences of betrayal."

Gin entered the cellar but couldn't find Sherry. He looked at the fireplace, the only possible exit, and couldn't help but sneer. As he slowly approached the fireplace and heard the tense, suppressed breathing inside, the sickly smile on his face became completely uncontrollable.

Vodka said, "Brother, Pisco hasn't arrived yet. We'd better leave first."

Gin suppressed his excitement and sneered, "That's true."

Meanwhile, Conan found a place to hide outside, eavesdropping on the conversation in the wine cellar while clutching his children's watch, brainstorming in his head, trying to find a way out of the predicament.

Three enemies, one needle, even with the leg-strengthening shoes, can only take down two. Professor Agasa just told him that Pisco has returned to the hotel and is being held up by the police.

The key question is, Ai Haibara isn't in the wine cellar. Could she have been moved by Pisco?

Five minutes later, the three of them arrived on the roof.

Gin held the gun in one hand and aimed it at the fireplace outlet.
