After sending Xiao Ai home, Sawaguchi Hiko found an excuse to leave.
He didn't disguise himself and was prepared to go to Beihu Restaurant with his real face because there was a woman he wanted to see there.
At the thought of this, the corners of Sawaguchi Hiko's mouth curled up. After arriving in a taxi, he walked straight in.
After entering, Sawaguchi Hiko looked around and shook his head when he saw the celebrities who usually only appeared on television. There were only two reasons for him to come here. The first was to see that woman, and the second was to solve this murder case and increase his popularity.
Thus, Sawaguchi Hiko began to search for his target. Suddenly, his gaze stopped on a foreign blonde beauty. He smiled and walked towards her.
When he walked to her side, he said in fluent English,"This beautiful lady, may I have an autograph?" I'm your fan." After saying that, Sawaguchi even blinked his eyes cutely.
The blonde was obviously stunned when she saw him. Then, she was pleasantly surprised. However, she still said in a calm tone," Sir, I'm sorry. Please don't harass me. I have bodyguards protecting me."”He also emphasized the word "bodyguard."
Sawaguchi understood what she meant." Beautiful lady, I heard that there will be a murder here, so I came to take a look. If it really happened, then I can increase my reputation after solving the case."”
The blonde woman nodded thoughtfully. When Sawaguchi saw this, he said,"Then I won't disturb you, beautiful lady."”After saying that, he walked to the middle of the crowd and waited for the show to begin. The blonde woman whispered something after he left, but Sawaguchi Hiko, who had already left, did not hear it.
After a while, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and a slide show began on the screen.
Sawaguchi Hiko looked at the slideshows with a bored expression." Seriously, isn't it just a memorial service for a dead person? There are actually so many big stars attending."”
At this moment, Sawaguchi heard a gunshot because he could hear many sounds that ordinary people could not hear. Then, there was the sound of something smashing into the ground.
Then, he knew that the incident had begun. At this moment, the lights in the hall lit up. Then, everyone saw the victim, Councilman Tunkou, lying under the chandelier. Then, he walked to a corner and picked up something that had fallen on the ground...
"Everyone, please move aside. This is a murder case.”When he heard the voice, Sawaguchi saw Officer Mezuki coming out from behind the crowd. To his surprise, Officer Sato was also there, so he decided to ask her when she would tell him about the case that she had buried in her heart after the incident.
Officer Megure saw Sawaguchi as soon as he walked over. His expression immediately became much better. He patted Sawaguchi's shoulder and said," Brother Sawaguchi, I'm relieved to have you around this time. I'll leave this case to you to solve."”
Sawaguchi looked at him speechlessly and thought to himself,'No wonder there are so many criminals in Conan's world. The police are all like this. Which criminal is afraid of these police?'
So he thought of the Pico in the original novel. That person clearly hid the gun on his body, but the police did not search him. Moreover, the evidence of his murder was photographed by a reporter, but the police did not conduct a full body search.
Sawaguchi Hiko thought for a moment and decided to convince himself that it was because these people were the bosses of various places, so it was not easy for the police to search them. Otherwise, they would seem too stupid.
Sawaguchi shook his head and said to Officer Megure,"Officer Megure, I already know who the murderer is."”
"Really, Brother Sawaguchi?" Officer Megure asked joyfully. He trusted Hiko Sawaguchi because he had solved the case in less than five minutes like last time.
Sawaguchi nodded and pointed to a person." The murderer is you, Mr. Kenzo."”
Kenzo was obviously prepared for this. He asked unhurriedly," Is that so? Then tell me, how did I kill this person?"”
Sawaguchi shook his head and said to Kenzo," It's a very simple method, but it's also full of loopholes. First, you ask Councilman Tunkou to wait for you at the place where the light shines. The reason is probably something like 'as long as you wait for me at the place where the light shines, I'll discuss the evidence of your corruption with you'. Then, when he goes there, you shoot the hanging ring on the chandelier with your mobile phone, making the chandelier fall and hit Councilman Tunkou who is standing there.”
"But how am I supposed to shoot the rings in the dark hall, and how am I supposed to shoot without being noticed?”
" It's very simple. To answer your first question, you only need to apply fluorescent paint on the ring. Officer Megure has asked you to investigate the ring. The second question was even simpler. You just need to cover the muzzle with a handkerchief. Otherwise, could you please take out your handkerchief and show it to everyone?”Sawaguchi said confidently.
Kenzo panicked, but he still tried to explain." The handkerchief was dirty, so I threw it away a long time ago. So the disappearance of the handkerchief doesn't mean that I'm the murderer."”
"Mr. Kenzo, I'm afraid you never thought of this. The handkerchief you dropped is now with me. As long as you take it to the test, you can find the burn marks left behind by the muzzle and your fingerprints.”After saying that, he handed the handkerchief to Officer Megure and said," Officer Megure, he's the murderer. We've gathered all the evidence. You can arrest him now."”
"Who are you?" Kenzo asked in a daze.”
"My name is Hiko Sawaguchi, I'm a detective."”Then, he mouthed a few words.
Kenzo was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. The others didn't see it, but he did. The self-proclaimed detective in front of him had just said " Pisco."
Sawaguchi acted as if he didn't see anything. Just as he was about to speak to Officer Megure, Officer Sato, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up." Erm…Sawaguchi-kun, are you free tomorrow?"”
Sawaguchi nodded." Alright, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow. I'll contact you then."”After saying that, Officer Sato left with the prisoner and Officer Megure.
At this time, Conan suddenly ran over to Sawaguchi and said to him,"Brother Sawaguchi, it's not good. Haihara is missing."”
"What is it? How is that possible?" Sawaguchi Hiko asked in surprise. After thinking about it carefully, he understood." It seems that the old man, Kenzo, caught Xiao Ai while everyone was paying attention to the corpse and placed her in the wine cellar of the original novel.”
When Sawaguchi saw Conan, he knew that it must have been this kid who caused Haigara to be captured. However, he guessed wrong this time because Xiao Ai followed him.
Thinking of where Xiao Ai might appear, Sawaguchi Hiko immediately ran towards one direction…
(P.S. In the next three chapters, I will explain the case from different perspectives. Of course, time will naturally return to the beginning.)
