The world of science is unscientific

Gin lit a cigarette and chuckled, "It just so happens that this operation is taking place here, so we can bring him along too. Hara Yoshiaki, that guy, he's really not honest."

Should we just eliminate him?

"Well, let's go."

Conan had just come downstairs when he saw the Porsche 356A drive away.

After the tour, everyone said their goodbyes and left.

The three kids got back into Professor Agasa's Beetle, while Yusuke Suzuki carried Kogoro Mouri and the others.

He received an email from Gin as soon as he got back to his apartment.

[Don't go far lately, but take action - Gin]

【Ok——Grouse】

It seems Gin is planning to kill Hara Yoshiaki. Suzuki Yusuke went to bed to catch up on sleep. Asuka was just taken away by Haibara Ai. The kitten who successfully lost weight has regained Haibara Ai's affection.

Two days later, Yusuke Suzuki received a call from Juzo Megure.

He was the last to arrive at the police station, which was already full of familiar faces.

“I’ve called you all here for no other reason than this,” Inspector Megure said solemnly. “We found the bodies of those who were assassinated in the suites of the Twin Towers skyscrapers.”

The deceased was Iwamatsu Oki, a city councilor from Nishitama City.

The day before yesterday, when Suzuki Yusuke and his group visited the Twin Towers skyscraper, Oki Iwamatsu was there. He had drunk quite a bit of alcohol and took advantage of his drunkenness to flirt with Tokiwa Mio, trying to influence her with his political power, and incidentally, some things happened that cannot be described.

"When he asked Tokiwa Mio for accommodation, I heard that you were all there," Inspector Megure said, his words always carrying a hint of targeting Kogoro Mouri. "Chiba, read the forensic report."

Chiba Kazunobu, holding a small notebook, began to read, "The estimated time of death is between 10 p.m. and midnight. The murder weapon is likely a knife, which was not found at the scene. However, the deceased was holding a small wine glass that had been cut in half."

While everyone was looking at the small wine glass in the evidence bag, Yusuke Suzuki was sending an email to Gin.

I'm at the Metropolitan Police Department and can't get away for now. —Grouse

Come out as soon as possible and find me in Nishitama City. —Gin

After putting down his phone, Kogoro Mouri immediately eliminated a wrong option for everyone, clearing Yoshiaki Hara of suspicion on the spot. However, it was of no use, as he was about to die.

Yusuke Suzuki paid no attention to this information and was lost in thought.

It was a long and difficult time until the meeting ended. During the meeting, Conan even suspected that Gin and Vodka were behind it. Although he kept his voice down, Suzuki Yusuke still heard him.

Does Gin really not sneeze? Conan is so concerned about him.

After leaving the police station, Suzuki Yusuke disguised himself and went to Nishitama City to meet Gin.

"You've finally arrived. Opportunities to eliminate traitors are rare, so this was specially reserved for you," Gin said softly, gesturing for Vodka to drive.

Yusuke Suzuki: "..."

Are you still brooding over the embarrassment of not capturing Sherry last time? And are you sure there aren't many opportunities to eliminate traitors? Aren't you overestimating the organization's alcohol content?

The three arrived at Hara Yoshiaki's house.

Yusuke Suzuki knocked on the door.

Not open.

I knocked again, but it still didn't open.

Gin snorted coldly, "If you open the door yourself, we can still talk."

A moment later, Hara Yoshiaki opened the door.

As soon as he entered, Yusuke Suzuki smelled the creamy aroma from the cake.

Is it your birthday today?

"No," Hara Yoshiaki said nervously, "I just have a sweet tooth. What are you guys doing here this time?"

"You're the one who stole the organization's data, aren't you?" Gin pulled a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Hara Yoshiaki. "Where's the data storage device?"

"I...I didn't!"

"Vodka!"

"Yes, boss." Vodka immediately put on gloves and began searching. "Found it!"

Vodka is holding up a magnetic disc.

"Check it out."

Gin approached Hara Yoshiaki step by step, waiting for Vodka to open his mobile computer and check the contents of the floppy disk.

Cold sweat was pouring down Yuan Jiaming's forehead. He took two steps back and picked up the silver knife on the table used for cutting cakes.

With Vodka confirmed, Gin ended Hara Yoshiaki's life with a single shot.

After finishing, the three did not leave, but continued to search the room for any other suspicious items, and also to remove any traces they had left behind.

They were busy until midnight, and Yusuke Suzuki suggested that they rest in the house for a while.

"So you have this kind of fetish." Gin glanced at Hara Yoshiaki's corpse on the ground, his gaze meaningful.

Yusuke Suzuki, too lazy to deal with this guy with questionable ideas, said to Vodka, "Never mind, let's go."

He misunderstood. If he rests here for the night, he'll have to clean up the traces again tomorrow, which is such a hassle.

The next day, Conan had just reunited with the Detective Boys, and Ai Haibara was also there.

The group arrived at Hara Yoshiaki's room.

"Strange, the door was open." Mitsuhiko stepped forward and opened the door, immediately seeing Hara Yoshiaki on the floor. "Conan... Mr. Hara, he..."

"Call the police and an ambulance immediately!"

Conan quickly ran into the room, making sure to take off his shoes first.

Shot in the chest, almost killed instantly... Conan quickly analyzed that Hara Yoshiaki was holding a silver knife, there was a cake on the table, and a small wine glass that had been cut in half was placed next to the body.

Is the same person the killer?

Megure quickly arrived with the police, and the coroner estimated that the time of death was between yesterday afternoon and evening.

“You believe they weren’t the murderers, right?” Ai Haibara whispered to Conan. “They wouldn’t leave something like this here.”

"Maybe."

Conan was still somewhat suspicious, and he was particularly concerned about the small wine glass shards that the forensic team had shown him earlier. There was no blood on them, which meant that they had been placed there after the blood had congealed.

That evening, Inspector Megure arrived at the Mouri Detective Agency.

Firstly, he ruled out Kisaragi Minezu as a suspect, because Kisaragi Minezu was with Conan and the others during the estimated time of death, and had an alibi.

But Conan took notice of the old man instead.

"In addition, all the data on Mr. Hara's computer was also deleted," Officer Shiratori added. "That might also be one of the motives for the murder."

“Sorry, Mori-kun,” Inspector Megure concluded, “the culprit is probably one of Tokiwa Mio, Sawaguchi Chinami, or Kazama Hidehiko.”

But Kogoro Mouri still refused to believe that Mio Tokiwa would kill someone.

Meanwhile, Suzuki Yusuke got into Gin's car again. This time, Vodka wasn't there, and Gin was driving himself.

"What about vodka?"

"We've gone to the target location."

Gin said coldly, "Keep driving."

Yusuke Suzuki also fell silent. After all, getting into the car this time was a bit of a coincidence. He had bumped into Gin, who was driving alone, and came over out of curiosity. He didn't even know what Vodka had gone to do.

A short while later, Suzuki Yusuke followed Gin into a room in an apartment building.

Vodka is rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

Chapter 96 A Helpless Girl

Upon seeing the two enter, Vodka stopped what he was doing and greeted them. He was somewhat surprised that Suzuki Yusuke had also come.

"Big brother..."

"Found it on the road," Gin glanced at the vodka, "Is this the place?"

Vodka hadn't quite grasped what he'd found on the street, but since his older brother had already asked, he couldn't refuse to answer. "I just showed the photo to the manager, and he confirmed it."

"Hmph, I really didn't expect her to be hiding in a place like this behind the organization's back," Gin said, looking around.

“The rent was prepaid for a year,” Vodka reported intently. “The phone has always been on voicemail. According to the neighbor, sometimes the phone will come in and then go to voicemail.”

Yusuke Suzuki closed the door behind him, thinking to himself, "Did he even ask the neighbors?"

Surprisingly, the neighbors didn't call the police immediately, given Vodka's attire.

"The voicemail wasn't recorded, was it?" Gin casually picked up a book, flipped through it, and said, "Women will be women after all. There's a computer in the car; bring it here."

Gin pulled out an old CD from his pocket—no, it was the organization's CD—and sneered, "It contains the organization's newly developed reverse tracing program, which can reverse trace in 20 seconds."

That sounds pretty impressive. Yusuke Suzuki realized that the organization's technology was indeed quite advanced.

Now that the plot has progressed this far, he's too lazy to stop Gin from tracking Sherry; nothing will happen anyway.

A moment later, the phone rang and went to voicemail.

Ai Haibara's voice rang out.

"Sister, it's me. I'm attending the opening ceremony of the Twin Towers skyscraper the day after tomorrow. Lately, I think I'm starting to like that guy more and more. What should I do...?"

At this moment, a line of text popped up on the computer screen: Undetectable.

Did Conan unplug the phone line?

Holy crap, could you have waited a little longer? Who is that guy that Ai likes?! And... the way Ai Haibara spoke just now was really heartbreaking.

On the other side, Conan, with a cold expression, held a telephone cord in his hand and silently watched Ai Haibara.

"So you did call your sister, you called the phone number in the house your sister Akemi Miyano secretly rented before she died, right?"

“I see,” Professor Agasa said, somewhat realizing. “You wanted to talk to your deceased sister, didn’t you?”

"I understand how you feel, but it's too dangerous no matter what..."

Before Conan could finish speaking, Ai Haibara broke down, exclaiming, "No one can understand how I feel!"
