Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

"Mr. Kamizumi, are you really not involved in the fraud case?"

"Mr. Shangzhu Zhenwu, is it true that your father paid someone to bail you out?"

"What are your thoughts on the victims? What are your plans for the future?"

"..."

The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, the blond man called Teigo Kamizumi suddenly sprang up, snatched the microphone from a nearby reporter, and threw it at another reporter nearby.

Unlike most people, the reporters were not alarmed at all; instead, they pointed their cameras at Teigo Uesumi with great enthusiasm, ready to capture this "interesting" scene.

Seeing this, Teigo Uemura became even angrier. He grabbed one of the reporters' cameras again and smashed it against the surrounding reporters.

"boom!"

The next moment, the camera he threw hit one of the female reporters squarely on the head, and she fell to the ground on the spot, bleeding profusely.

Only then did the other reporters scatter in panic.

This guy really dares to do it!

Seeing the surrounding reporters disperse, the blond man became even more arrogant. He grabbed a ceramic vase from the side and smashed it forward.

Ran and Sonoko were standing right on the path of the vase.

Seeing this, before Xiaolan could make a move, Longye stepped forward and smashed the vase with a punch.

The next second, Longye flashed in front of the blond man and punched him directly in the abdomen.

To everyone's astonishment, the blond man was instantly blasted against the wall.

Before the reporters and guests present could react, Longye turned around and walked behind him, taking out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiping his right fist.

"Ran, Sonoko, let's go."

"Hmm!" Seeing Ryūno make a move with her own eyes, Sonoko's eyes widened, a smile playing on her lips, looking excited.

As expected of Tatsuno!

It's still so fast! So smooth! So insane!!!

Ran first examined Longye's right hand. Seeing that there were no wounds on his right hand, she smiled and stepped forward, taking Longye's arm in her hand.

Noticing Xiaolan's gaze, Longye chuckled, "Don't worry, it's just a vase. How could I possibly get hurt? I was wiping my hands because I touched something dirty."

"As expected of Ryuno! I haven't seen you in action in so long, those two moves were so cool!" Sonoko laughed and patted Ryuno on the shoulder.

"Seriously, Sonoko, why do you always want to see Ryūno make a move?" Ran said with a helpless smile.

"Hehehe~ It's because it's so interesting~" Sonoko scratched her head shyly.

"..."

The reporters stared in disbelief as Longye and his two companions left, chatting and laughing.

What did they just see?

Isn't this a scene you only see in movies?!

……

A week later

Beihu Hotel

"What? There are no rooms available? I clearly made a reservation!" Sera Masumi took off her hat and frowned.

"I am so sorry, it was... no, it was our mistake that we didn't explain it to you clearly at the time."

"There isn't a single room left?"

"Well... because our annex is currently under renovation, it has a limited number of rooms, and they're all fully booked..."

"..."

After some discussion, Sera Masumi only managed to get a few 30% off accommodation coupons.

Looking at the staff in front of her, Sera Masumi sighed helplessly, turned around, and pulled her suitcase toward the hotel entrance.

Although the waiter in front of me seemed to be hiding something, it seemed that the decision to not be made was already finalized.

There's no other way; it seems we'll have to find somewhere else. After all, she and her mother have to change hotels so often…

Just then, the hotel's automatic doors opened. A man in a suit with a small mustache led a little boy in.

Upon seeing the little boy's appearance, Sera Masumi paused slightly, stopping in her tracks.

"Edogawa Conan?!"

After a brief moment of thought, Sera Masumi sat down on the sofa in the hotel lobby, ready to observe carefully.

A moment later, Kogoro Mouri and Conan walked to the counter.

--"Snapped!"

Amidst the puzzled looks of the staff, Kogoro Mouri slammed the note in his hand onto the counter.

"This lunch coupon expires tomorrow, right?!"

"Huh? Yes, that's right." The waiter glanced at the coupons on the counter and nodded blankly.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's eyebrows instantly curved into a smile. He patted Conan's head and laughed loudly, "Hahaha!! Kid, you should thank me properly! This is a discount coupon I won from my neighbor using mahjong!"

Conan squinted and twitched his lips helplessly.

Chapter 275 Finally Became a Suspect

As the force coming from above grew stronger, Conan covered his head, took a step back, and moved out of Kogoro Mouri's "slapping" range.

the other side

Although this was Sera Masumi's first time seeing Kogoro Mouri in person, just looking at the man's current appearance, she felt that her previous deduction was correct.

This "famous detective Kogoro Mouri" might actually be a lot of a fabrication...

--"Bang!!"

Just then, a loud bang instantly drew the attention of everyone in the hotel.

Immediately following the loud bang was a high-pitched and piercing scream.

"what!!!"

Upon hearing the scream, Conan and Kogoro Mouri rushed out of the hotel.

Sera Masumi glanced at their backs and ran after them.

"That sound must be coming from near the parking lot!"

Soon after, the group arrived at the hotel parking lot.

Three middle-aged men and women looked in front of them, their expressions filled with terror.

In front of the three, a blond man was lying on the ground, his head covered in blood.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mori shouted, "What on earth happened?!"

One of the slender women, wearing a green cardigan, said haltingly, "Just now, when I was backing up, this...this person suddenly fell off..."

A slightly plump woman in a dusty pink sweater standing nearby then spoke up: "If you look closely, isn't this... isn't this him?!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in the light blue jacket turned pale, pointed at the man on the ground, and said with a slight tremor, "It really is... it's Shangzhu!!"

Just as Conan and the others were about to press for more information, the thin woman suddenly pointed to the hotel roof and exclaimed in a panic, "You...you look! Who's that?! There was a suspicious figure on the roof just now!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Conan immediately ran into the hotel, ready to chase after the figure the woman had seen.

Seeing Conan's actions, Sera Masumi's lips curled slightly, and she quickly followed.

Ignoring Conan, Kogoro Mouri looked around and shouted to the arriving guards and civilians, "This is a crime scene! No one is allowed to touch the scene before the police arrive!"

After saying that, Kogoro Mouri took out his phone and called Inspector Megure.

Half an hour later, Inspector Megure arrived with his team.

After asking Kogoro Mouri what had happened, Inspector Megure instructed Officer Takagi and others to gather information about the victim.

A moment later, Officer Takagi walked nervously to Inspector Megure's side and whispered the information he had just received in his ear.

After speaking, Officer Takagi took out his phone and showed the video on it to Inspector Megure.

After watching the video, Inspector Megure's eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at Kogoro Mouri beside him: "Is that really my brother Tatsuno?!"

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri looked at Inspector Megure with a puzzled expression, seemingly not understanding why he had mentioned Tatsuno.

What does this have to do with that kid?

Under Kogoro Mouri's questioning gaze, Inspector Megure handed him the intelligence he had just obtained and Takagi's cell phone.

After watching the video, Kogoro Mouri quietly returned the phone to Officer Takagi.

"Inspector Megure, that kid has no chance..."

“I know this definitely has nothing to do with him. But he is indeed one of the suspects now…”

"Okay, I know."

After saying that, Kogoro Mouri took out his phone and called his daughter.

same moment

At Tatsuno's home.

Ran, who was cooking, received a phone call from Kogoro Mouri.

"Hello, Dad?...What? I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiaolan took off her apron, walked quickly to Longye, and told him what her father had said on the phone.

After hearing what had happened, Longye smiled happily.

He had just complained that his life had been too boring lately, but unexpectedly, "fun" came knocking on his door.

The man I casually taught a lesson to last week was killed today.

Since there are no security cameras in the hotel's annex buildings, and his earlier confrontation with the man was captured on the hotel lobby's security cameras, he is now considered one of the "suspects."
