Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

As the two girls chatted, Sonoko started teasing her best friend about her love life.

"Have you kept in touch with Mr. Qingze from the hospital last time?" She winked and looked gossipy. "He's an extremely handsome guy, you know."

Upon hearing this name, Conan's antennae immediately stood up.

Qingze? Is it the Qingze he knows?

Xiao Lan felt inexplicably nervous when Qingze was mentioned.

She glanced at Conan, who had become wary, and whispered in Sonoko's ear.

"Don't tell anyone about Mr. Aozawa, especially Shinichi and Conan."

"why?"

Sonoko Suzuki was puzzled.

Could it be that Ran has really fallen for Aozawa and doesn't want Shinichi Kudo to know?

"Mr. Qingze has certain health problems. His hair and eyes are due to his illness, so let's not talk about that."

Ran guesses that the organization Aozawa belongs to might be the same one Shinichi is currently facing.

Shinichi may investigate some of Koniak's personal physical characteristics.

She subconsciously wanted to hide it for Qingze.

"Is that so...?" Sonoko Suzuki frowned.

It can alter hair and eyes, which is probably a very rare disease.

No wonder he was so cold; he was wearing a hood and hiding his head in broad daylight.

It turns out he was a patient, which makes much more sense.

"I just wanted to visit him casually at the time, nothing more. But you know Shinichi, he's very hostile towards all my male friends..."

Sonoko Suzuki patted her chest confidently, "Don't worry, don't worry, I definitely won't tell them!"

"Sister Xiaolan, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that the two were deliberately avoiding him and whispering to each other, Conan's vigilance grew stronger.

The Qingze they were talking about was most likely the same Qingze he had met; the chances of having the same name as someone else are extremely small.

Xiaolan deliberately avoided him, not wanting him to hear. What does this mean?

Could Xiaolan really have fallen for that pretty boy?

Although I have to admit that the pretty boy is good-looking, but... absolutely not!

He gritted his teeth inwardly.

No wonder he always seemed to have this inexplicable interest in Qingze; it turns out it was some kind of unseen attention he was paying attention to his love rival!

Sonoko glanced at this mouthpiece of Shinichi Kudo.

"We're talking about that arrogant detective who never shows up!"

Conan scoffed, "There's no way he'd believe that."

But neither of them seemed inclined to tell him, and he couldn't get the answer out of them by asking.

However, he is a detective, and he can deduce some things without eavesdropping.

For example, Xiaolan does know Qingze and doesn't dislike him.

Qingze's hand was indeed injured, so it's normal to run into him at the hospital.

Wait, the hospital? When did Xiaolan go to the hospital? Why did she go to the hospital?

"Sister Xiaolan, when did you go to the hospital?"

"It was just a while ago, I wasn't feeling well, but after checking, it wasn't anything serious," Ran Mouri said briefly, without elaborating further.

The restaurant suddenly became noisy, with many people making surprised noises.

Ran Mouri looked around in confusion and found that they were watching the television in the restaurant.

The television is broadcasting today's news.

Another member of parliament has died.

He was sniped and shot in the head.

Conan jumped off the chair and ran to the television, staring intently at the images playing on the screen.

The deceased politician was named Takayuki Yamada, and he died at 10 a.m.

The victim was fatally attacked as soon as he got out of the car.

A bullet flew from a distance and hit him in the head.

The video of the death was captured from a nearby surveillance camera.

As for the murderer, the security cameras did not capture him.

The approximate location of the killer can only be determined by the ballistic trajectory.

But by the time the police arrived, the place was deserted, and nothing was left behind.

Conan quickly took out his phone and checked the terrain map on it.

Sonoko and Ran also saw the news.

Sonoko frowned. "One member of parliament died just a few days ago, and another one died today."

Has the political struggle escalated to the point of resorting to shootings?

"Ran-neechan, I'm going back now." After saying this, Conan ran off.

He's going to go to the scene to see if he can find any clues.

The deaths of two congressmen in quick succession made it hard for him not to suspect the Black Organization.

Ran Mouri sighed inwardly as she watched Conan run away.

Shinichi's personality—his inability to sit still when he sees a case—remains unchanged.

Sonoko muttered, "Where is that brat going? Is he trying to find out who killed him?"

Ran Mouri shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

"Never mind him, let's keep playing our game."

Chapter 45 Rum's Angry

"Mr. Amuro, have you seen the news?"

As Conan rushed to the crime scene, he called Tooru Amuro.

Amuro Tooru's voice was somber on the other end of the phone, clearly indicating that he was in a bad mood.

"I see, Kazami has already gone to the crime scene."

Could it be the organization that did it?

"do not know."

Amuro Tooru was unsure whether the organization had issued any relevant orders; he certainly hadn't received any.

"I measured the distance with a map. The sniper position mentioned in the news is at least 700 yards from the location of the deceased. Could anyone in the organization reach that distance?"

Currently, the known sniping accuracy of Chianti and Cohen is within 600 yards; beyond 600 yards, their accuracy is not guaranteed.

Amuro Tooru mentally reviewed all the information about the organization's members.

"Gin is fine."

This style of killing with a single blow is very similar to Gin's style.

"What about Koniak? Is he good at sniping?"

"No one has mentioned it, so I don't know. You don't need to worry about it for now; I'll find an opportunity to test the waters."

The person is already dead; it's too late to talk about protection now.

The call ended abruptly, and Conan stopped in his tracks.

Although Amuro Tooru said that, he obviously couldn't just ignore everything.

The location wasn't particularly far from where they had just eaten; Conan hailed a taxi and it only took 5 minutes.

However, that area was already under control, so we could only go to the outer perimeter, where layers of police had surrounded it.

Conan used his small stature to slip through the police cordon and arrive at the scene.

The bodies at the scene had been removed, leaving only the car the senator had been riding in. A white line had been drawn around the car, and bloodstains were splattered on its body.

To be able to accurately pinpoint a legislator's drop-off point requires prior knowledge of the legislator's itinerary, which is something not everyone can do.

He adjusted the focus of his glasses and looked at a building in the distance.

Based on the angle and ballistics analysis, the sniper should be in that position.

It was an office building, located in a bustling area with many security cameras on the street.

It's not easy for a sniper to avoid crowds and cameras and reach the rooftop with a sniper rifle. The police might be able to spot the sniper on the surveillance footage.

However, he had no reason to get involved in an investigation at this level, so he could only obtain further investigative information from Amuro Tooru.

Qingze reassembled the disassembled sniper rifle, put it back on the rack, and yawned.

Another sleepless night. Lately, I've been staying up all night, which really makes me look like a vampire.

He has removed two members of Congress from the list of those who died.

Although he wasn't the one who did it, if one of them died and caused losses to the organization, then so be it.

He glanced at the news on his phone, his face expressionless.

He neither felt pleasure nor pain from killing.

After years of hypnotic interference, he has lost much of the moral cognition of a normal person.

At first, he couldn't sleep all night, but later it was like stepping on an ant; he felt nothing at all.

He turned off his phone, went to the bathroom to shower and go to sleep.

He needs to catch up on all the sleep he's had these past few days, and no one is allowed to disturb him.

While Qingze slept peacefully, things were far from calm on the organization's side.

It should be said that Rum was in a very turbulent state.

"Two of the members of parliament supported by the organization have died, and the organization provided a lot of resources to each of them! Now that they are dead, all those resources have gone down the drain."

"Such a huge loss, Gin, don't you have an explanation for this?"

Even with a voice changer, Rum's anger was still palpable on the phone.

As the organization's second-in-command, he was the one who made most of these political deals.

The boss only needs to issue orders; he is responsible for the specific details.

Gin was very impatient. "What does this have to do with me? They were careless and got killed easily. How can you blame us?"

Rum suddenly raised his voice.

"Wasn't it Koniak who did it?!"

Many people in the organization know that the poisoning incident at the last charity gala was done by Koniak, and that Fukuda's death was almost certainly his doing as well.

Now another councilor, Yamada, has died; it's hard to say he wasn't behind it.

Gin retorted, "Then go find Koniak, what are you barking about here for?"

Rum choked on Gin's drink.

He was somewhat afraid of Koniak, that madman.

As you get older, you develop a greed for life and lose the fearlessness of your youth.

Last time, I don't know what I said that offended that madman, and that madman blew up one of his factories, causing huge losses.
