Chapter 281 - Chapter 280 The Fourteenth Target part 18

"Let me think, Jo Murakami is used to using his left hand!"

Conan thought back and immediately remembered that in the photo that Inspector Megure took out, Jo Murakami was dealing cards with his left hand, which means that Jo Murakami was left-handed, while the person who killed Nana Osanai was used to using his right hand.

"Wait, I remember that time..."

Conan recalled the scene when the criminal attacked Dr. Agasa. At that time, he saw the criminal shooting Dr. Agasa with a crossbow, so he had a deep impression.

"Right hand! The criminal used his right hand at that time!"

Conan quickly confirmed that the criminal used his right hand at that time, which shows that the criminal is a person who is used to using his right hand, not Jo Murakami who is used to using his left hand. In other words, the criminal is not Jo Murakami at all, but the criminal somehow learned about Jo Murakami so he planned this incident.

"No, this incident was planned by Moriarty. It wouldn't be difficult for him to know about Murakami. Damn it, I should have thought of it long ago. This case was planned by Moriarty, so the criminal couldn't be Murakami. He couldn't let me know who the criminal was at the beginning. There would be no point in solving the case. I didn't think of this. It's really wrong."

Conan lightly hit his forehead. He couldn't help but feel annoyed when he thought that he didn't find such a simple point. However, he knew that now was not the time to feel annoyed. The first thing to do was to find the criminal.

Thinking of this, Conan walked around the perimeter. Although he didn't look down at the ground when passing by everyone here, he secretly paid attention to everyone's trouser legs. He clearly remembered that the drink he put on the ground was kicked away by the criminal, that is to say, without any defense, the criminal's trouser legs should have been wet, so he could determine who the criminal was.

In a moment, Conan determined who the criminal was, but after knowing who the criminal was, he was very puzzled and didn't understand why the other party did this.

"Wait, he had a car accident three months ago. If he had a head injury at that time..."

"No matter, let's give it a try!"

Conan quickly made a decision, backed away from here, and ran towards the kitchen.

Except for Aizen, no one noticed Conan's departure, even Ran didn't notice it, but Aizen didn't remind him, as if he didn't see it.

After a while, Conan came back, but he came back with a plate with a few glasses of water on it.

When Conan came back, someone had discovered him. Ran came to Conan and blamed him, "Conan, didn't I tell you not to run around? It's dangerous, don't you know?"

"I saw that everyone might be thirsty, so I went to pour everyone a glass of water."

Conan said and began to distribute water. He didn't want Ran to ruin his plan.

Everyone got a glass of water, and no one said no.

Conan stood behind and looked closely at the person he suspected. He looked up and drank the water, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then his eyes never moved away for a moment.

"Sure enough, I guessed it was right. It was like that. The criminal was indeed him."

When Conan saw the other person drink the water in the cup with a normal face, his heart was shocked. He knew that his guess was right. The criminal was indeed this person. Now that he knew who the criminal was, that could also be used as evidence to solve the case.

Boom! ! Boom! !

The roar of the explosion suddenly sounded at this time, the aquarium was blown up, and seawater flowed into the restaurant.

The people in the restaurant were obviously unprepared. They were caught off guard and were knocked down by the current. The current was extremely fast. In just a short moment, the restaurant was almost submerged. Fortunately, the water level was not that high for the time being, so everyone was fine.

 "Ran, Conan, are you all okay?" "Has everyone come up?" "Has anyone fallen behind?"

Floating on the surface, Mouri Kogoro and Inspector Juzo Megure quickly did a headcount. When they realized Ran hadn't surfaced, a wave of panic hit them.

Without a second thought, Aizen dove beneath the water. Deep below, he found Ran pinned beneath a submerged car, her face pale and lips tinged with blue from the lack of oxygen. Acting swiftly, Aizen summoned all his strength, managing to lift the car just enough to pull her free.

As her final bubbles escaped and her consciousness began to fade, Aizen drew her close, pressing his lips to hers in an urgent rescue breath.

"Ran!" he called as he broke the surface, cradling her in his arms.

Ran's eyes fluttered open, and her face turned a deep red—hotter than the sun. Embarrassed and breathless, she looked away, but Aizen just smiled gently and held her tighter as he guided her safely back.

"Everyone, look!"

Conan suddenly shouted loudly.

Everyone looked and saw playing cards from spade six to spade ace floating on the water.

Seeing this, Mouri Kogoro said angrily: "Jo Murakami, that guy, actually wanted to kill us all at once, it's so hateful."

Ninzaburo Shiratori said: "We didn't expect this possibility, we thought he would attack the targets one by one."

"Hey, are you okay?" Eimei Shishido suddenly spoke, he said to Nishina Minoru.

Nishina Minoru held Eimei Shishido's arm and said with difficulty: "It's... It's okay."

Juzo Megure said: "Our top priority now is to leave here, otherwise when the water level rises, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."

Peter Ford said: "But there is no exit at all."

"No, there is an exit."

Kisaki Eri said: "The glass window that just exploded is the exit, we can escape to the sea from there in the opposite direction."

"I can't do it, I can't do it."

Nishina Minoru said in despair.

Eimei Shishido said: "Don't give up so quickly, take a deep breath later, I will help you."

Ran asked Conan: "Conan, are you okay alone?"

Conan replied: "I can do it alone."

Mouri Kogoro said to Aizen: "Aizen, you take care of Conan later, if there is any problem, remember to bring him with you."

"Okay, Master Mouri

Aizen nodded and responded, retracting his gaze from the playing cards, his eyes cold.

"Okay, let's go."

Juzo Megure said, then took a deep breath, dived into the water, and became the vanguard.

Seeing this, everyone prepared themselves, took a deep breath, dived into the water, swam to the broken glass window, and swam into the sea through there.

There was no problem on the way, everyone escaped to the sea safely, and then swam to the shore and came to the shore.

"Nishina! Nishina!"

Eimei Shishido shook Nishina Minoru's body lying on the ground and said, "How are you? Get up!"

After Nishina Minoru got ashore, he fell to the shore and was unconscious. It was Eimei Shishido who helped him up the stone steps.

"Let me give him artificial respiration. I have the qualification of a lifeguard."

Sawaki Kouhei walked towards Nishina Minoru while speaking.

"Oh no, we can't let him succeed."

Conan secretly cried out in his heart when he saw this. He ran to Aizen's side, pulled up Aizen's pants, and whispered to Aizen who was leaning over, "Aizen, help me cover."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Aizen nodded, slightly surprised. He didn't expect Conan to have already known about this case. He thought that this case would end here.

Seeing that Aizen agreed, Conan was relieved and trotted away. When everyone was paying attention to Nishina Minoru and didn't notice, he shot an anesthetic needle at Mouri Kogoro.

Swish!

"Hey... Hey... Hey..."

Mouri Kogoro's body wobbled for a moment before he finally slumped down against a stone pillar, his head hanging low.

Watching Mouri collapse, Aizen smacked his forehead in frustration. Sometimes Conan could be so careless—he should have knocked out the murderer first, then solved the case. Now Mouri was unconscious.

"Please wait a moment. If you want artificial respiration, Officer Shiratori, you can do it." Conan spoke in Mouri Kogoro's voice.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads in surprise and looked at Mouri Kogoro.

"Could it be that he knew that the criminal was Sawaki Kouhei and had evidence?"

Seeing this, Eri was surprised and puzzled. Mouri Kogoro's performance before didn't seem like he had discovered that Sawaki Kouhei was the criminal. He seemed to have always suspected Jo Murakami. Could it be that he had been pretending all along?

Juzo Megure asked in confusion: "Brother Mouri, is there any problem?"

Conan urged in a deep voice: "Hurry up, Officer Shiratori."

"I know, Mr. Mouri."

Ninzaburo Shiratori responded, came to the side of Nishina Minoru and squatted down.

When Ninzaburo Shiratori was giving Nishina Minoru artificial respiration, Kisaki Eri said, "Have you solved this case?"

"Yes, I already know who the criminal is."

Conan replied, "The criminal this time is not Jo Murakami at all. We have been fooled by the criminal all along. The criminal who attacked Dr. Agasa and the criminal who killed Miss Nana are actually right-handed."

"What? A right-handed person?"

Conan said, "Yes, there are marks of being scratched by the left hand on the back of Miss Nana's neck. This is the mark left by the criminal when he killed her. So the criminal held the weapon with his right hand, and Jo Murakami is a left-handed person. The murderer can't be Jo Murakami at all."

Megure Jusan heard it and said, "I see, who is the criminal?"

Conan said, "The criminal is among us."

"What?" "Ah?"

Hearing this, except for a few people, the rest of the people were very surprised.
