Conan: I can see keywords

According to the information Fang Zhou gave to Lingchuan, all employees of Mantiantang are equipped with uniform briefcases and ties.

On this occasion today, the boss of Mantiantang Company requires every employee to wear uniform.

This means that now taking this tequila with the company bag, his identity may be questionable because he is not wearing a uniform tie!

Of course, based on this alone, Conan might not suspect Tequila.

After all, there may be an employee who is careless and forgets to wear a tie.

But when Conan and Tequila bumped into each other just now, Conan asked Nakajima Hideaki beside him, "Is this tall man in black also an employee of Mantiantang?"

Nakajima Hideaki's answer at the time was 'No, I haven't met him.'

Although Lingchuan was thinking about a problem at the time, it did not prevent him from receiving information from the outside world.

Combined with the previous information, now that Tequila took the bag, it was just like telling Conan, "I have a problem, come and follow me."

Sure enough, when Conan saw Tequila taking something that didn't belong to him, his curiosity was aroused again.

He followed Tequila closely.

Seeing this scene, Ling Chuan's eyebrows never relaxed, "This direction...he's not going to make a phone call, is he?!"

No way?

Is this how you give Conan clues?

After following quietly for a while and confirming that Tequila was going to use the pay phone, Lingchuan stopped.

He wondered whether or not to stop Tequila.

After all, if this continues, Gin and the others might be exposed.

But help?

Are he and Gin close acquaintances?

No!

What does the life and death of the winery have to do with Lingchuan?

Thinking of this, Lingchuan's frown finally relaxed.

But if we leave it alone, the box of items from the transaction might fall into the hands of the police or Conan...

You can choose not to help Gin, but you must get East and West Lingchuan.

After making the decision, Lingchuan continued to follow.

Soon, Tequila walked around to the secluded corridor behind the press conference and put down the purse in her hand.

When Lingchuan arrived, he saw Tequila preparing to make a phone call and Conan moving a trash can and preparing to step on the coin-operated vending machine to buy a drink.

"Install a vending machine next to the phone?"

This apparently insignificant design now seemed full of weirdness and coincidence in Lingchuan's eyes.

The vending machines were not placed in the busy lobby of the press conference, but instead in the back where few people came.

From this point of view alone, it doesn't make sense.

Lingchuan, who was squinting his eyes and watching what was happening next, suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the handbag that Tequila had placed on the ground.

For a locked briefcase like this, if the opening edge is not locked, you can actually see that the edge is obviously cut wrong.

A completely locked briefcase will not only not have this misalignment visible, but the entire opening of the bag will appear as a uniform black line.

If you don't look carefully, it's hard to find the opening.

But the one at Tequila's feet, Lingchuan not only saw the mistake, but he even felt a chill in his heart when his eyes fell on the briefcase.

This inexplicable sixth sense made Lingchuan suddenly retract his gaze.

There is a big problem with that bag!

Lingchuan rubbed his face and calmed down for a few breaths. At this time, Longequilan called, "Hello, it's me."

“Tequila.”

Um? ?

idiot!

Lingchuan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Who would reveal their code name when there are other people around?

Oh, the 'other person' is a kid? That's why he doesn't care?

Lingchuan can understand why Gin didn't make the video public to all the members because there was an undercover agent, but isn't it too stupid for Tequila to be so unguarded?

Even if the 'other person' around you is a child, you shouldn't be so unguarded!

“The deal is done.”

Tequila, who hadn't realized his mistake yet, continued, "Don't worry about it, Vodka."

Snapped!

Lingchuan closed his eyes.

He gently patted his forehead with his right hand.

'It's hopeless, really, just go back to the old school.'

Lingchuan, unable to bear it any longer, turned and left.

Lingchuan, who originally guessed that the briefcase might contain a bomb, was still thinking about whether he should remind Tequilan again.

After all, Gin 'invited' him to come and paid him.

But now he doesn't want to do that anymore.

That's silly Tequila.

Death brings peace.

If all the people in the winery were like this, Lingchuan was really afraid that he would be cheated to death.

Since he didn't plan to continue reminding Tequila, Lingchuan no longer paid attention to what was happening here.

After he left, he lowered his head and reviewed the entire transaction.

He didn't believe that Nakajima Hideaki was the one who planted the bomb.

Of course, even if the box that Tequila got didn't contain a bomb, it definitely wasn't what the distillery originally wanted to trade.

Lingchuan can be sure of this!

Because if the goods were correct, the briefcase would not be in an 'open' state.

The briefcase will open, which means someone has swapped the briefcase beforehand but didn’t have a chance to change the key!

So in order to allow Nakajima Hideaki to open the briefcase, the person who changed the bag opened the briefcase and stored it.

Chapter 106: Pull it open, little bastard!

Who is that person?

Why did he change the number plate but not the key?

Can’t change?

Under what circumstances can you only get the number plate but not the key?

Lingchuan frowned and thought.

Walking back to the front hall, looking at the men and women playing various video games in the hall, Lingchuan suddenly had an idea.

If you change it here, it seems there is plenty of chance to change the number plate.

And he recalled the scene when Nakajima Hideaki deliberately bumped into Tequila.

Because the number plate is made of wood and has a large area, it is not difficult to replace it if you are quick at the moment of contact.

The key is different.

If you want to replace the key together, it will be too late at the moment of the collision.

It's impossible for you to hit someone and stick to them for a few seconds before bouncing away, right?

Then Lingchuan boldly speculated that the reason why that person could only change the number plate was probably because Nakajima Hideaki had found an opportunity to return the key to Tequila!

When the person was changing it, he didn't find the key to Nakajima Hideaki's briefcase, so he had no choice but to just change the number plate.

This is where you can change your number plate!

Lingchuan's eyes lit up and he looked up to observe the surrounding surveillance layout.

He then found the monitoring room and claimed that he had lost something and needed to check the surveillance footage.

Because today was a special day and most of the people attending the press conference were famous, the security personnel in the monitoring room agreed as soon as they heard Lingchuan say that.

Having successfully achieved his goal, Lingchuan expressed his gratitude.

Sitting in front of the monitoring desk himself, he didn't need any help from security personnel. He operated each button as familiarly as if he was at home.

Finally, he noticed something unusual in the surveillance video and frowned briefly, then relaxed.

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome sir. Did you find your stuff?"

"Found it. I've seen it on the surveillance camera. I'll leave now."

Lingchuan smiled and said, "Thank you so much for your help."

"Okay, take care. You're welcome."

The security guard responded cheerfully.

Foolishly, they didn't notice what Lingchuan accidentally left in the corner of the monitoring room before he left.

After Lingchuan got what he wanted from the monitoring room and returned to the front hall, he unexpectedly bumped into Tequila head-on.

Looking at Tequila with an indifferent expression, Lingchuan snorted silently uncontrollably.
