Chapter 348: Conan is so frustrated

"Oh my?" Conan was stunned.

This Onmyoji knows again?

I was just about to figure it out.

Akaso Kaze snatched the photos from the dazed Conan's hands.

He looked through them, picked out three, and threw them onto the hospital bed.

"The three cases that happened today each correspond to a specific playing card, and the criminal even left relevant proof at the scene."

"Like the case where Inspector Megure was attacked, Inspector Megure's name is Juzo, which corresponds to the King of Spades. The proof left at the scene is that Western sword; it's the same as the sword in the King's hand on the King of Spades!"

"Yes, that's right, that's it!" Conan clenched his fists in regret.

I was just about to figure it out!

"After Inspector Megure, it's Lawyer Kisaki. Lawyer Kisaki's name is Eri Kisaki; 'Kisaki' means Queen, corresponding to the Queen of Spades. The paper flower on the 'Valentine's' chocolate box is the same as the flower in the Queen's hand."

"That's right, it really is like that!" Conan clutched his chest.

I was just about to think of that!

"After Lawyer Kisaki, it's Dr. Agasa! Dr. Agasa's name is Dr. Agasa..."

This name is too strange.

Akaso Kaze curled his lip and continued: "His name is Dr. Agasa; if you break down the character 'Shi', it's 'eleven', corresponding to the Jack of Spades in a deck of cards!"

"After Dr. Agasa was attacked, a strange-shaped paper item was found in the bushes outside his house; its shape is the same as the sword hilt in the Jack of Spades' hand!"

"In other words, this is actually a premeditated crime following the order of playing cards, from largest to smallest! The criminal's plan is a serial crime."

Conan took two steps back, clutching his chest and leaning against the wall.

Damn it, I thought about it for a whole day.

I was just about to reason it out, and you just said it the moment we met. Didn't I waste all my thinking today?

So uncomfortable, so frustrated~

"It's Jo Murakami!" Inspector Megure's voice suddenly rang out at the door.

His injury wasn't serious, so he insisted on walking over.

"It must be the murder plan he formulated, intending to kill everyone related to Detective Mouri one by one to mentally torture him."

Ran frowned: "What is this! Isn't it natural for the police to arrest criminals? He clearly did something wrong, yet he wants revenge."

"That's true, but it's unavoidable that Jo Murakami hates me because of it."

Uncle Mouri's face was rarely serious and earnest, "Inspector Megure, does the police have any clues about Jo Murakami now?"

"This, not for the moment." Inspector Megure shook his head, "But according to Jo Murakami's family, he hasn't returned home since his release from prison, nor has he contacted his family; he just disappeared like that."

Disappeared?

He must have found a place to hide and wait for an opportunity to take revenge, right?

Everyone thought so, except for Akaso Kaze, who smiled without a word.

8:40 AM, at a certain heliport in Tokyo.

Ran, Conan, Uncle Mouri, and Inspector Megure stood in front of Hiroki Tsuji.

Hiroki Tsuji pinched his chin and said with a smile: "So, anyone related to Mr. Mouri will be attacked?"

Inspector Megure nodded, his tiger-like eyes full of seriousness.

"The criminal started with the King, then the Queen, then the Jack; the next one must be the 10."

"We originally wanted to protect Miss Toko, but Lord Onmyoji said yesterday that you, Mr. Tsuji, are the real target, and there is indeed a 'ten' character in your surname..."

"Mr. Tsuji, you will be in great danger next, so I suggest it's best not to fly."

"Not fly? How is that possible!" Hiroki Tsuji shook his head.

"Before every competition, I must fly the helicopter in the sky twice myself, otherwise my condition will be off."

"But you are really in danger now." Uncle Mouri tried to persuade him.

Hiroki Tsuji said with a smile: "Don't worry, there won't be any problems. There are so many police officers ambushed around the takeoff and landing airports, so there's no need to worry about safety."

"As for after the plane takes off, there's even less to worry about. Could he possibly use a rocket launcher to blow the helicopter down?"

Hiroki Tsuji said, paused, and continued: "How about this, if you are worried, accompany me on the helicopter to Toto Airport."

"Well, alright. Brother Mouri, just in case, let's get on the helicopter too!" Inspector Megure turned to look at Uncle Mouri.

Uncle Mouri, who suffered from acrophobia, said "Oh my," cold sweat dripping down his forehead, and he nervously shook his hands: "Th-this won't do, I have acrophobia."

"Hey! You talk too much!"

Inspector Megure brutally shoved Uncle Mouri into the back seat of the helicopter, and Ran and Conan followed.
