Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 444: The Bride of Halloween (Part 6)

Then the fire investigator drew a beautiful parabola in the air and hit the knight. Both of them rolled to the ground. At the same time, the bomb in the building exploded.

"Oh, what a satisfying explosion escape!"

"Damn it Florian, your chin hit my chest, it hurts!" The knight was so angry that he pushed away the fire investigator who was pressing on him.

The fire investigator complained: "I haven't even mentioned how hard your armor is. It hurt me."

"That's great, Brother Florian is fine." Yuantai was the first to rush up. He had a good impression of the fire investigator who could take out a portion of popcorn at any time.

Even though the location of the few people was very remote, the thick smoke produced by the explosion quickly attracted the attention of people around them, and fire trucks and police cars arrived one after another.

"Mr. Florian, where did you put the samples of those medicines?" While the three little ones attracted Inspector Megure's attention, Conan immediately asked the fire investigator.

The fire investigator took off his backpack: "Here."

The fire investigator pressed a few buttons, and a secret compartment popped out. Inside was a row of test tubes, two tubes each of red and blue chemicals, and several tubes of transparent chemicals of unknown origin.

"Wait, if the red and blue ones are the samples just taken down from the sixth floor, then these are..." Conan showed crescent eyes.

The fire investigator took out two tubes of reagents and handed them to Conan: "Don't think too much, that's the self-heating agent I developed for Naib, so that he can secretly eat in his room in the middle of the night."

Conan immediately thought of the scene where the mercenary secretly heated something in his room in the middle of the night and ate it. "Uh, why would Mr. Naib eat in the middle of the night?"

"The manor has a curfew from 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM. It's only two hours, but some people's stomachs are a bit too strong." The knight approached the two men. "Even if I suggest Mr. Balk install traps in all the stairways and hallways, there will still be people who use their wall-climbing skills to sneak into the kitchen."

"Besides preventing those who steal food, we also have to prevent some fools from accidentally eating the bait used to poison rats. Yes, I'm talking about that stubborn William. Last time, he accidentally drank red wine with rat poison in it, and he was almost carried away by Aesop."

[Forward: It's just a coincidence.]

[Cowboy: Is Burgundy red wine so tempting to you?]

[Magician: Even though this happened a long time ago, I still want to say, William, you're such a fool! It's all your fault for drinking that I got stabbed by Naib.]

[Sculptor: This is quite tragic. You planted the poison, and you killed the master. There was an eyewitness to the murder, and this eyewitness was the same person who drank the poison.]

[Wax sculptor: It's a bit unbelievable that such a coincidence happened to your group alone.]

[Gardener: To summarize, the entire process of your group nine was that Naib stabbed Muro first; Kurt claimed to have seen the hunter carrying prey, and was then stabbed as well; then William was drugged and, upon waking, directly pointed fingers at Servi. Servi was unable to defend himself, and was killed by both of them.]

[Adventurer: The Nepalese mercenaries' cultural level needs to be improved. Why don't they understand the hints in my adventure stories?]

[First Mate: I understand, but not correctly.]

[Mercenary: A very good reference. Next time when a fool pretends to be an imitator, remember not to act so convincingly.]

Conan wiped the sweat from his forehead again. "Is the food at your manor that bad? I saw you guys were eating pretty well at Melody Manor before."

"It's just survivor bias. You have no idea how terrible Evelyn's cooking is." The knight covered his mouth in disgust. "Can you imagine being served a dish stained with some kind of oil paint?"

"They say it was a nutritious meal Evelyn had carefully prepared..." The fire investigator covered his head. "I really didn't dare eat it, so I secretly poured it into the potted plant in the living room. As a result, the plant died the next day!"

"Although Marta can cook, she's often not at home, so we have to eat the canned products she left behind. But if we eat them for three weeks straight, we'll definitely vomit..."

[Ms. Farrow: How dare you say my cooking isn't good! Matthias clearly enjoyed it.]

[Air Force:??? Matthias, what's wrong with you?]

[Puppeteer: (Tied to a chair, foaming at the mouth, with Louis making a scissors gesture next to him)]

[Jack: Even "Useless Flesh and Blood" can't resist this thing! Please be sure to add the props to the joint hunt!]

[Soul of the Umbrella (Black): Oh my god, I can't believe this is something a human could cook.]

Conan held his forehead and said, "It seems like you guys are having a hard time."

In addition to Inspector Megure, the other police officer who arrived at the scene was Yuya Kazami who had heard the news. Conan directly handed the two tubes of reagents to him.

While going to the Metropolitan Police Department to take a statement, Officer Sato's cell phone suddenly rang. The caller arrested Officer Chiba and asked the Metropolitan Police Department to bring Officer Matsuda Jinpei in. However, this was impossible because Matsuda Jinpei had already died in the line of duty.

In response to this, Officer Takagi has a bold idea, which is to disguise himself as Matsuda Jinpei to get through. And at the instruction of Amuro Toru, Kazami Yu also shared the information with the Metropolitan Police Department.

They then learned that the mysterious bomber, whose origins were unknown and whose base was in Russia, was called "Pramya" by the locals. While they were exchanging information, the kidnappers of Officer Chiba called again and instructed "Matsuda Jinpei" to go to Miyashita Park.

Although Officer Takagi looked okay on the surface after his disguise, he was actually extremely panicked under his sunglasses. Shortly after he arrived at Miyashita Park, a group of people in black clothes wearing pumpkin masks surrounded him and started throwing candies at the crowd, directly disrupting the police's vision.

In the chaos, a man wearing a pumpkin head put a gun to Officer Takagi's back, took off his headset, and put a pumpkin head on him. The public security officers who were originally responsible for keeping an eye on the crowd were also squeezed away by the man wearing a pumpkin head, and the police completely lost sight of Officer Takagi.

The police had no choice but to send a police dog for support. Conan followed the people who held Officer Takagi hostage into the underground passage.

Conan was hiding behind the wall and tracking the other party's actions when he was suddenly hugged from behind by a pair of big hands. He was so scared that he thought he was discovered by those people's accomplices. As a result, when he turned around, he found that it was the Night Watch and the Archer, a grandfather and grandson.

"Hello, long time no see, Mr. Detective~" The archer greeted Conan happily.

Conan took a few deep breaths and said, "Ms. Brunel, are you trying to scare me to death? By the way, why are you here?"

"Brother Florian is researching the neutralizer for those explosives and can't come to help, so it's our turn." The night watchman took off his mask, revealing the confident and flamboyant face of a young man.

Conan's eyes were half-mooned. Ever since he knew that the Night's Watchman was the Archer's great-grandfather, he always felt that there was a gap in the ages between the two men.
