Chapter 553

"Then his next target is Officer Sato, who is still alive?" Akaso Kaze asked.

"It should be her." Officer Shiratori nodded. "We police plan to let Officer Sato be the bait after the engagement party ends to lure that guy out."

"Let Miwako be the bait?"

Akaso Kaze frowned. "That's too dangerous, and Kazato Kyosuke has already made preparations to act at the party. If he doesn't find the target, he might notice something."

"Ah, is that so? Then we're in trouble!"

Shiratori Ninzaburo was a bit anxious. "For Officer Sato's safety, Inspector Megure sent her out to run an errand, and she won't be able to make it back for a while."

Akaso Kaze thought for a moment and said: "How about this, follow my command, and we can catch the criminal without Miwako."

"First, there is a bomb on the main switch on this floor. Send someone to dismantle the fuse, but keep the appearance unchanged to prevent him from checking."

"Also, send someone to watch from the side. Once a call comes in, immediately imitate the sound of an explosion and cut off the power, so that Kazato Kyosuke can continue to execute his plan."

"Then, arrange for a few people to pretend to chat near Kazato Kyosuke, saying that they saw Officer Sato arrive, but she has a stomachache and is in the restroom, and it's very likely she will have to leave early due to physical reasons."

"In this way, if Kazato Kyosuke wants to act, he must do it as soon as possible. With time being short, it will be difficult for him to discover our arrangements."

"I will create an image of Officer Sato in the restroom to lure Kazato Kyosuke into firing, and in this way, we can catch him on the spot."

"Great..."

"I'll go make arrangements immediately, and I'll leave the rest to you."

Akaso Kaze hung up the phone and walked slowly into the banquet hall.

Suddenly, he felt someone tugging at his clothes. He looked down and saw Conan staring at him with a resentful and unhappy look.

Akaso Kaze was slightly stunned and asked: "Conan? Why do you have that expression?"

Conan gave a light hum, then answered confidently:

"None of your business? Hmph! I won't be afraid to tell you, I've already worked out a line of thought and plan to go to Tohto University Hospital tomorrow to investigate Nino Tamotsu!"

"Just you wait, I will definitely be able to solve this big case involving the police force earlier than you!"

Akaso Kaze had a face full of black lines.

You're going to investigate tomorrow?

The killer will be caught tonight, okay?

"Go on, go play somewhere else, kid."

Akaso Kaze waved his hand as if shooing away a fly.

Conan was furious.

You guy, you caused me to get kicked three times in the face, and my teeth are even loose.

And I had to watch you two show off your affection in public.

If I don't get revenge for this, I, Detective Conan, will write my name backward.

Just wait, when I solve this case, I'll make you lose face in public.

From then on, the police will never trust you again.

"Huh, why haven't I seen Officer Sato?"

Somewhere in the banquet hall, Officer Takagi was scratching his head and looking around.

"Sato, she's already here, but she seems to have a stomachache and went to the restroom. I don't know if she can hold out until the party ends." Yumi said worriedly.

Not far away, Kazato Kyosuke narrowed his eyes.

So that's how it is, I thought those arrangements were in vain.

But listening to this, it's very likely that Officer Sato might leave later, so it's better to act sooner.

He took out his mobile phone and entered a number.

"It's time to start."

Akaso Kaze was staring at him with his Space Eye.

"Brother Akaso, I think you, this Onmyoji, must be a liar. I admit your reasoning ability is strong, but as for you being able to predict or divine things, I don't believe it at all."

Conan was still chattering beside him.
