Lin Zhiren took the opportunity to go to the bride's side and found that she was still breathing, but she looked painful and kept coughing up blood.
"It's good that the cyanide didn't kill me immediately..." Lin Zhiren breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to squat down to help, but actually gently activated the "legendary" moonlight in his body.
Under the spiritual infusion, the "legendary" moonlight instantly transformed into a silver ray, sprinkling onto the bride's throat.
The bride, who had been coughing up blood in pain, immediately relaxed and stopped coughing up blood.
This is the limit of Naoto Hayashi's abilities.
He can save the person's life and alleviate their suffering, but he cannot completely cure them.
He still needs to be treated at the hospital.
The ambulance arrived quickly, lifted the bride onto a stretcher, and rushed her to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The wedding venue instantly transformed into a crime scene. Inspector Megure and his team immediately sealed off the bride's dressing room and began searching the scene for suspects.
With his superior, Kiyonaga Matsumoto, watching closely, Inspector Megure gave it his all and quickly identified three suspects.
The groom, Toshihiko Takasugi; the bride's father, Kiyonaga Matsumoto; and the groom's ex-girlfriend!
(Matsumoto Kiyonaga: You son of a bitch...)
It was also confirmed that the poison added to the bride's drink was sodium hydroxide!
This stuff is highly irritating and corrosive; swallowing it can cause burns and bleeding in the digestive tract.
It is a chemical agent that causes severe pain to the human body.
Conan went all out, searching for clues at the scene, and discovered that Sonoko and Ran had brought a handheld DV camera, which had been placed on the chair at the time of the incident and recorded key clues!
Based on these clues, Conan deduced that the murderer was the groom, Toshihiko Takasugi!
Without saying a word, Conan pulled out his watch and used a tranquilizer gun to knock Sonoko unconscious. Then, he used a voice changer to impersonate her voice and deduced the case.
He must hurry!
Otherwise, that bastard Naoto Hayashi could reveal the truth at any time, or threaten innocent suspects and extort a huge sum of money for "acquittal".
If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be a problem, but there's Inspector Kiyoshi Matsumoto here...
Conan simply couldn't imagine what the superintendent would look like in a fit of rage after being blackmailed... He might even kill someone, right?
Conan connects all the clues, analyzes and solves them one by one, and finally points to the only person who has the time to commit the crime!
"The murderer is you—Takasugi Toshihiko!"
Matsumoto Kiyonaga flew into a rage, grabbed Takasugi Toshihiko by the collar, and roared, "You bastard! Why did you do this?!"
Takasugi Toshihiko's face contorted in pain as he suddenly yelled, "You killed my mother twenty years ago! I'll make you taste the bitterness of losing a loved one!"
As he spoke, he suddenly pulled a dagger from his pocket and plunged it into Matsumoto Kiyonaga's abdomen!
The entire audience was shocked!
Chapter 49 Ancient Chinese Martial Arts: Acupoint Striking Technique!
A group of police officers rushed forward and separated the two.
Matsumoto Kiyonaga was completely powerless and collapsed limply.
Meanwhile, Toshihiko Takasugi laughed wildly, his expression ferocious.
"I knew my poisoning method was too crude and would be easily seen through, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly... But it's okay, I had two backup plans!"
"Go to hell, all of you!"
Inspector Megure roared anxiously, "Go call an ambulance!"
However, Kiyoshi Matsumoto's wound was bleeding profusely and he couldn't stop the bleeding even by pressing on it; he was clearly on the verge of death.
Lin Zhiren sighed and stepped forward, saying, "Let me do it. I know the 'pressure point technique' of ancient Chinese martial arts, which can stop bleeding quickly."
A group of people looked at him suspiciously. Some remembered that he was Kogoro Mouri's assistant and knew that he would not joke at a time like this, so they decided to try their luck and made way for him.
Naoto Hayashi pretended to touch around Kiyoshi Matsumoto's abdominal wound a few times, but actually used his spiritual power to activate the "legendary" moonlight, which shone with a silvery light.
As his spiritual energy was depleted, the bleeding from Matsumoto Kiyoharu's wound gradually stopped.
The search was so intense that it left him speechless.
It actually works!
Amazing ancient Chinese martial arts!
If the wound stopped bleeding, things became easier. Someone brought over a bandage and simply bandaged the wound.
Soon, an ambulance arrived and carried the police superintendent up as well.
The hospital staff were also puzzled. What was going on with this wedding? They had called an ambulance twice in such a short time!
Moreover, they were all critically injured.
A blood-red wedding?
To the doctor's surprise, the police officer, despite his seemingly serious injuries, had not lost much blood and his condition was stable.
The doctor was amazed, but Kiyonaga Matsumoto himself knew what was going on.
He looked at Naoto Hayashi, a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
At the crime scene, police had already taken the groom, Toshihiko Takasugi, into custody.
Feeling that he had avenged his great enemy, the man angrily confessed his motive for the murder.
Twenty years ago, during a manhunt for a criminal, Kiyonaga Matsumoto failed to see and help a passerby who had been hit by the escaped criminal—who was also Toshihiko Takasugi's mother. As a result, his mother died because she could not be saved in time.
From that moment on, Toshihiko Takasugi harbored a deep hatred for Kiyonaga Matsumoto—yes, he didn't hate the fugitive, he only hated the policeman!
After hearing such a twisted and outrageous reason for hatred, the people present...
Some people angrily denounced it, while others frowned and pondered.
This reason is clearly not right... it seems to have been deliberately designed!
Takasugi Toshihiko is like a pawn.
……
now.
Inside a room in a high-rise building, hundreds of meters away from the wedding hotel.
The windows were covered by curtains, making the room dimly lit.
One of the curtains was pulled open slightly, revealing a tall man with slightly curly hair. He wore a high-tech device over his left eye, with a lens protruding from the front, emitting a faint red light.
The man observed the chaos unfolding at the wedding hotel ahead through the device in his left eye.
After a while, the man clicked his tongue.
"What a piece of trash. He didn't even kill Matsumoto Kiyonaga on the spot... He gave him so many hints; a single stab to the heart would have been fatal."
"In the end, this piece of trash still stabbed her in the abdomen. Was he too soft-hearted or scared? I wonder if Matsumoto Sayuri was poisoned to death."
The man took out his phone, dialed a number, and the call was answered quickly.
"Kyosuke Kazato reports that the target, Kiyonaga Matsumoto, is not dead, but seriously injured... Yes, it was the heir of the Takasugi Group who did it himself. He first poisoned Kiyonaga Matsumoto's daughter and then stabbed Kiyonaga Matsumoto with a knife."
A hoarse voice came through the phone: "It's alright, the goal has been achieved. The heir of the Takasugi Group assassinated a police inspector, which is a scandal for the group. This heir is now useless, and the puppet we've supported can take over."
The man hesitated for a moment and asked, "But Matsumoto Kiyonaga isn't dead, is that alright? I heard that he's been secretly investigating our organization recently, and he's also taken action to clean up some of our peripheral members and dismantle several smuggling routes, causing considerable losses to the organization."
The hoarse voice said, "They're just some peripheral cannon fodder, nothing to worry about. Besides, the fact that Matsumoto Kiyonaga was attacked this time has already served as a warning to us, and he will probably be much more restrained in the future. Moreover, he will definitely be more cautious in the future, and it will be difficult for you to find an opportunity to assassinate him again."
The man said regretfully, "I understand. I will clean up all traces and lie low for a while."
The hoarse voice said, "Okay. Be careful not to expose yourself. Your identity as a psychologist is very important. It allows you to contact many people in the police force and high-ranking officials, which makes it easier to gather intelligence and carry out assassinations."
"Next, the organization will infiltrate the 'Yots Group'. Be sure to gather relevant intelligence."
The call was disconnected.
The man immediately cleaned the room thoroughly, erasing all traces, before quietly leaving.
……
The bloody wedding is over.
The murderer was taken away, leaving behind a scene of utter chaos.
Ran, Sonoko, and Conan also got into Naoto Hayashi's car, preparing to return to the Mouri Detective Agency.
On the bus, Ran and Sonoko were worried about Matsumoto Sayuri's condition and discussed whether they should visit her in the hospital.
Conan, meanwhile, frowned, pondering the entire case.
Although he personally solved the case and caught the real culprit, he still had a strange feeling that was hard to describe.
It was as if he hadn't achieved perfect reasoning and had overlooked something.
What exactly is it?
Unfortunately, he has too few clues to deduce anything.
If you want to understand the case more deeply, you'll probably need to have a detailed conversation with the perpetrator, Mr. Toshihiko Takasugi.
However, since that guy had killed people twice and even implicated a police inspector, it was a major incident that shocked the entire Metropolitan Police Department, so that person would definitely be placed under strict custody.
We will not allow unrelated individuals to come into contact with it.
Even if he were still Shinichi Kudo, he wouldn't have that kind of face.
Just then, Naoto Hayashi's cell phone rang.
Naoto Hayashi answered the phone, listened for a moment, and then smiled and said to the group, "It's Inspector Megure calling. Miss Sayuri was rescued in time at the hospital and has passed the critical period. With a few more surgeries and recuperation, she will make a full recovery."
"Inspector Matsumoto is also fine. After his wound was stitched up and he received a blood transfusion, he is now able to get out of bed."
Ran and Sonoko cheered.
Naoto Hayashi continued, "Inspector Matsumoto asked me to convey his gratitude to Ms. Sonoko. Your brilliant reasoning allowed them to catch the culprit who dared to harm his daughter immediately."
"Haha..." Sonoko was a little embarrassed. What kind of reasoning was this? I don't remember anything about it at all.
Could I be possessed by some kind of ghost? My shoulders seem a bit heavy lately!
Damn it, evil spirits, begone! Evil spirits, begone!
Suddenly, Xiaolan remembered something, exclaimed in surprise, and looked at Lin Zhiren.
"Brother Zhiren, it was too chaotic earlier and I didn't have time to ask, but the move you used to treat Inspector Matsumoto, was it a pressure point technique from 'ancient Chinese martial arts'? Is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Sonoko and Conan became interested and looked at Naoto Hayashi with great interest.
Sonoko had already woken up from anesthesia when Inspector Matsumoto was stabbed, and she also witnessed that miraculous scene.
Chapter 50 The 1 Billion Yen Bank Robbery
Lying may feel good for a moment, but covering it up will only make you look foolish.
Previously, in order to save Inspector Matsumoto, Naoto Hayashi had to reveal his "legendary" moonlight.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, they had to fabricate the name "ancient Chinese martial arts".
As a result, karma has caught up with them, and now they're being questioned about it.
Having no other choice, he could only resort to his traditional skills and fabricate stories.
Lin Zhiren thought for a moment and said, "Well, it is indeed true, but it's not as magical as you imagine. In scientific terms, I used my bio-electromagnetic field to influence the injured person's magnetic field."
"It can't handle serious injuries. It can only be used to stop bleeding and reduce bruising. Moreover, it severely depletes my own bio-electromagnetic field. I have to rest for half a month after each use."
Xiaolan's eyes lit up as she said, "That's still amazing! I only know karate, and I'm nowhere near as good as you, Naoto-nii."
The others all showed crescent-shaped eyes.
Haha, you can dismantle utility poles by hand, I can't compare.
"But what exactly is ancient Chinese martial arts? I've never heard of it before," Conan asked, still somewhat doubtful.
After all, that bastard Lin Zhiren is a liar, and it's possible that he's just fooling others.
"Well, Chinese ancient martial arts refer to some martial arts that have been passed down from ancient China. Many of them have been lost, and they generally require the learner to have certain 'qualifications'. I have been practicing my family's ancient martial arts since I was a child, and after more than ten years, this is all I have achieved so far."
