Chapter 356

The group discussed it and decided to go to the wine cellar together to avoid any incidents.

The winery wasn't far, and they found the place quickly.

Sawaki Kohei pushed open the door, reached out to feel around, and turned on the lights!

The entire winery was visible at a glance.

Rows of wine racks, bottles upon bottles of various wines! The quantity was immense!

There were at least a thousand bottles of wine in the entire winery, if not more!

"Wow, so much wine." Inspector Megure couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's truly spectacular!" Mouri Kogoro also shouted.

Akaso Kaze didn't go in; he stood at the doorway.

He observed the trap Sawaki Kohei had prepared for himself using his Eye of Space.

The crossbow was placed in the cabinet behind wine rack M18, in a cocked and ready-to-fire state.

A fishing line was tied to the trigger of the crossbow, and the other end of the fishing line was cleverly tied to the very bottom between wine rack M18 and wine rack M17.

As long as someone walked past there and their foot touched the fishing line, it would naturally trigger the mechanism and fire the arrow.

Of course, Sawaki Kohei had set the trap very cleverly; after the foot touched the fishing line, one could easily dodge it with a single turn.

Akaso Kaze's lips curled slightly as he cast his Hand of Will.

To clear one's name, it's best to use a bitter-meat trick.

Sawaki Kohei, I'll help you out.

Sawaki Kohei walked toward wine rack M18, looking like he was searching for a target.

A triumphant smile was on his face.

Even the famous detective and the so-called strongest Onmyoji in Tokyo couldn't discover my plan.

As long as I pretend to be ambushed by the trap, I won't be suspected by everyone.

He walked forward a few steps, about to reach the spot where the trap would be triggered.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh" sound.

Sawaki Kohei's body jolted, and he paused for two or three seconds.

0 0

An expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Then he opened his mouth wide and let out a miserable scream.

With a "bang," he fell to the ground.

Conan, Uncle Mao Li, and the others ran over together and asked nervously, "Mr. Sawaki? What's wrong?"

After Conan saw Sawaki Kohei's injury, his sphincter suddenly tightened.

His mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he couldn't speak anymore.

On the ground, Sawaki Kohei was covering his butt with both hands, trembling non-stop as if he had been electrocuted.

And right in the middle of his butt, in a very delicate spot, an arrow shaft was wobbling tremulously.

Good grief, looking at this situation, Sawaki Kohei is ruined!

This criminal is truly vicious, specifically targeting people's weak points.

Officer Megure stared with wide eyes at the wound and said, "Mr. Sawaki, your, your injury?"

"Uh, I, I'm fine, I'm fine."

Sawaki Kohei remained lying on the ground, twitching constantly, his eyes fixed on the fishing line in front of him, his face full of confusion.

The trap he set was clearly supposed to trigger only after touching the fishing line; why did it fire early?

Could the mechanism be broken?

But I clearly tested it many times.

This is completely un-Conan-science!

And it didn't break early or late, why did it break exactly when he appeared, and why did it hit him directly in that place?

Most importantly, now that he's injured, what will happen to the rest of the plan?

Sawaki Kohei felt depressed; he gritted his teeth and tried to struggle to stand up.

No! He had gone to such lengths to prepare this plan, and he had prepared so many time bombs; it absolutely cannot be canceled halfway! ===== CHAPTER 358 =====
