Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

Chapter 36 is about to make big news!

The banquet hall erupted in chaos, and Qingze was finally satisfied.

What's the point of a calm, still surface of water? The death of a senator doesn't prove anything.

At such a high-profile event, the collective poisoning of numerous people, especially those who were poisoned by hallucinogenic drugs containing truth serum, would have a significant impact.

Which of these wealthy and powerful people could tolerate being poisoned?

Who can bear to reveal their past in public that they don't want to talk about?

Those past events that one does not wish to recall are forced to appear before one's eyes. Whether it is shock, fear, resentment, or anger, nothing can stop the secrets from being revealed.

Once they regain their senses, they will cause even greater turmoil.

Let them make a scene, it's good to have a commotion.

We need big news, we need a huge sensation.

It caused such a sensation that even an old coffin-dwelling immortal would have to open his eyes.

He stood in the corner, his long eyelashes drooping, his eyes filled with madness.

Conan was shocked to see the situation spiraling out of control.

He watched as the woman, whom he had identified as the murderer but had yet to find evidence against, menacingly pulled out her pen, removed the cap, and thrust the gleaming needle tip into the air in front of her.

"Fukuda Makoto, you beast, die!"

He saw another woman not far away suddenly kneel down and weep bitterly.

"Hideyoshi, your mother has avenged you. Those who bullied you, your mother has sent them all to hell..."

He looked at a middle-aged man in a suit with a grim expression, who was clearly intent on killing him.

"I did not sell the company's trade secrets, so don't even think about slandering me!"

He saw the sinister smiles of entrepreneurs that often appeared on television.

"He's not willing to accept our offer? Ha, then he can forget about getting a single penny..."

It seemed like only for a moment, but all the dark sides of people's hearts were exposed, and the entire venue descended into chaos.

With a snap, the camera lens was turned off.

Several police officers approached the television station staff and unequivocally escorted them to the other side.

What happened at tonight's dinner is serious enough to be called a serious incident and cannot be reported casually.

......

Ran Mouri was wondering what was going on. Because the hallucinatory babbling and screaming of the people were a little far away from the camera, not much of it was captured by the camera.

But the various expressions revealed their true nature, and countless speculations and discussions quickly fermented on the internet, brewing an entertainment gossip that piqued the curiosity of countless people.

But the next moment, the screen went blank, the news program was cut off, and without any warning, it was replaced by a TV drama.

This attempt to cover up the truth made Ran Mouri realize that something serious must have happened. She took out her phone and searched online, and many related entries popped up, but none of them reported on tonight's events.

Seeing the various speculations and discussions among netizens, she felt worried.

So many people are acting strangely; they must have been drugged, right?

Will Conan get into trouble there?

And Yuanzi, I wonder if she attended this banquet.

Thinking of this, she quickly picked up her phone and called Sonoko.

"Hey, Sonoko, are you alright?"

"I'm at home, of course everything's fine, what's wrong?" Sonoko's energetic, puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone, without anything unusual.

Ran Mouri breathed a sigh of relief. "I saw on TV that something happened at the charity gala at the Meiji Memorial Hall tonight. Did your uncle and aunt attend?"

"Really? Let me take a look."

Sonoko Suzuki picked up the tablet next to her and quickly searched for relevant information, soon figuring out the situation.

“My parents didn’t go, but the company sent someone to attend. Wait a moment, I’ll make a call to ask about the situation and let you know later.”

"it is good."

The phone was hung up, but rang again a short while later.

Sonoko Suzuki's voice on the other end was full of excitement and gossip.

"Xiao Lan, you have no idea, that dead Fukuda councilor was actually a pedophile who harmed countless people. He deserved to die!"

"Eh?"

"The person who killed him was a family member of the victim. The murderer revealed everything, and many people were stunned..."

Ran Mouri was taken aback, but she accepted it well.

In the past year or so, she has encountered far too many cases, with all sorts of evil people and evil deeds emerging one after another.

Even so, I still feel disgusted from the bottom of my heart every time I hear about the evil deeds of such scum.

"What's with those people who suddenly went hysterical on the news just now? I saw Conan there too, and I'm a little worried about him."

"The food at the dinner party seemed to have been laced with hallucinogenic drugs. The murderer reenacted the crime after accidentally consuming the tainted food..."

Sonoko Suzuki was very diligent in her gossip-hunting, and even managed to find out some details.

"I don't know what kind of hallucinogen it was, but the effect was really powerful. It was as if all the darkness in our hearts was revealed. People we knew suddenly looked completely different, and many were stunned..."

Sonoko felt extremely regretful that she wasn't there and missed so many opportunities to learn about the gossip.

"However, not too many people take hallucinogens. The people my family arranged were lucky; they didn't get any food laced with drugs..."

"Is it just hallucinogens? Nothing else has happened, right?"

"No, there are almost more police than guests there right now, so it probably won't be over anytime soon. That brat Conan probably won't be home until late at night..."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaolan walked to the window and stared blankly at the deep night.

What exactly is Shinichi facing?

What are they investigating this time?

Even though he was staying at her house, he refused to tell her anything.

Don't you want her to worry?

But have you ever considered that being completely unaware might actually be more dangerous...?

......

Rena Mizunashi sat in the empty room next door, her expression grave.

What exactly happened tonight?

Was it an organized crime operation?

But she did not receive any notification.

This large-scale administration of hallucinogens is completely out of step with the organization's style of operation and does not serve its interests.

Was it done by some other third-party force?

And for what?

She took out her phone and sent a message to Gin.

Why wasn't I informed of tonight's arrangements at all? —Kier.

Gin, who was recuperating at home, was completely bewildered when he received the news.

What arrangements? Didn't he just pass the task to Koniak? And what did Koniak do?

The thought of Koniak made his broken ribs ache again.

There was no conspiracy, no scheming; he was simply seeking revenge on Koniak and giving him something to do.

It's just a mission to kill a senator; we've done it before. There's absolutely no need to make a big fuss about it.

What happened? —Gin.

Upon seeing the message from Gin, Kiel realized that tonight's events might really have nothing to do with the organization.

The fact that Koniak didn't contact her meant that he had no intention of carrying out the mission tonight.

She sent over what had happened that night, along with a news link.

[Makoto Fukuda is dead. Hallucinogens were laced with food at the banquet, and many people were affected...]

The more Gin looked, the more his brows furrowed.

Hallucinogens? That sounds like something Koniak would do.

Makoto Fukuda? He seems to be a member of parliament supported by an organization.

He turned on his computer, retrieved the organization's drug usage records, and sure enough, saw that Koniak had taken a large amount of YSP-3 today.

He remained silent for a long time before deciding not to get involved in this thankless and troublesome matter.

Koniak isn't under his jurisdiction anyway, let the boss deal with that himself.

Without replying to the message, Gin closed his laptop and continued to recover from his injury.

Chapter 37 Let's go for a drive

Amuro Tooru's face was solemn, so somber it was almost dripping with water.

He had taken so many precautions beforehand, checking for bombs inside and out and arranging numerous security measures, but these arrangements seemed to have no effect.

Members of parliament still died, and even the food at the dinner party was laced with hallucinogenic drugs on a large scale. They wouldn't have known if the drugs hadn't taken effect.

The killer of Representative Fukuda has been identified.

No, it should be said that he took the initiative to come forward. The murderer revealed his hatred for Makoto Fukuda and his method of attack in the hallucinogen.

It was purely a personal grudge, seemingly unrelated to any organization.

But Amuro Tooru doesn't really believe in such a coincidence.

However, a thorough investigation is needed to determine the specifics of what happened.

There are also hallucinogens.

Who exactly released the hallucinogens, and for what purpose?

Is it revenge against a specific person? Or is it simply an attempt to create chaos?

Did the organization know about this in advance, which is why they canceled tonight's operation?

Or are these two things completely unrelated?

He wasn't on the mission list, so he couldn't use that as a reason to contact the organization for inquiries.

Now, we can only investigate one item at a time.

He ordered the police to seal all the food and send it for testing, then pinched his brow again.

Qingze watched this farce like a bystander.

They gave the organization's drugs a five-star rating for their effectiveness.

While this drug has little effect on professionally trained undercover agents, it is highly effective on ordinary people.

It's a pity that only about thirty people were affected by hallucinogens, which isn't a large number.

The guests who had received traditional Chinese medicine were taken away by ambulance for emergency treatment.

In addition to the police officers already in the banquet hall, the Metropolitan Police Department dispatched another team of officers.

The incident was serious, and the police investigation was exceptionally thorough.

From the surveillance cameras to the kitchen staff and the guests attending the banquet, everyone was carefully questioned.
