Chapter 2098 The Shooting in the Hotel

Saturday, June 7, at noon, Mihua Hotel.

Conan recognized at a glance that the plainclothes police car that stopped seemed to belong to Police Officer Takagi, and after a second look, it was true that it was Officer Takagi who hurried down from the car.

"Officer Takagi, what happened?" Conan went up to intercept, and the others also went.

"Conan? You..." Officer Takagi stopped, surrounded.

Yuan Tai asked: "Officer Takagi, what happened?"

At this moment, Police Officer Chiba and Hondo Eisuke also got out of the plainclothes police car.

Dr. Ali was surprised, "My hall, what are you?"

Hondo Eisuke said, "I am assisting in the investigation."

Police officer Chiba said: "We were on our way back to pick up Hondo Eisuke, and we received a notice saying that there was a murder, and it was still shot."

"Shoot!" Conan and the others were surprised.

Officer Takagi also reacted, "I won't tell you, I'm going to the scene."

"Wait," Conan asked quickly, "Is the incident in this hotel? How many floors? When did it happen?"

Officer Chiba said: "It's the 39th floor, it's said that it was just a few minutes ago."

"Then don't worry," Huiyuan pointed his thumb at the hotel lobby, "There are only three elevators here, and now two are broken down and are being repaired, and the other one has a long queue. The downstairs is the same, and the upstairs must be the same , it is impossible for people to leave.”

Ayumi said: "It's not necessarily true, maybe it has already mixed in the crowd and left."

Haibara said: "Probably not. There will be gunpowder smoke after shooting, which is easy to recognize in the elevator and leaves an impression on people."

Mitsuhiko said excitedly: "Ah, doesn't that mean that the murderer is among these people in the hotel."

Hondo Eisuke said: "Actually, it's not necessarily true. If some method is used to cover up the smell of gunpowder smoke, the murderer may have already escaped."

Conan said: "In short, let's look for the murderer still trapped in this hotel. If he is not waiting for the elevator anxiously, he is running down the safety stairs."

At this time, Officer Takagi's phone rang, and it was from the Mugure Police Department, who asked if Officer Takagi had arrived, and told Officer Takagi that he would lead a team to arrive immediately.

Hondo Eisuke came to his senses and hurriedly called Mori and Yamazaki to inform him that there was an incident.

The two ended their conversation, the elevator arrived at the station and opened the door to let people in, and police officer Chiba hurriedly showed his police ID to stop them.

"Come on, let's help guard the two safety stairs." Conan directed.

After a while, the support from the Mihua Police Department arrived and blocked the hotel.

The reporter was a step slower and was stopped outside.

Officer Takagi and Officer Chiba jumped in line and boarded the elevator with their police certificates. Dr. Ari, the Detective Boys, and Eisuke Hondo were rewarded. ...

39th floor.

A group of people gathered around the entrance of the artist office, needless to say, that was the scene.

"We are the police, please step aside." Officer Chiba cleared the scene.

"Ah, Mr. Police, you are finally here." A blond lady said with a worried face, her tone was awkward, mixed with English, obviously her Japanese was not very good.

Officer Takagi asked, "Miss, who are you?"

The secretary said nervously: "I called the police. Our president was shot dead."

Conan asked, "Where is the scene?"

"In the president's office, the innermost room." Miss Secretary said.

At the scene, a middle-aged man sat down on a chair behind his desk. Not only was his body covered in blood, but a large pool of blood was also flowing on the ground.

The whole room was filled with the smell of blood.

There are two obvious bullet holes in the wall behind him, apparently from missing shots.

"ah!"

Ayumi ran in and took a look, then turned her head and covered her eyes, and Genta was frightened directly,

Together they pulled Mitsuhiko over.

"Okay, let's all go out, this is not the place for us children to come." Haibara took the three of them away, but Conan still stayed. ...

Downstairs, Yamazaki rushed over from home, and Mao Li also ran over from the mahjong parlor, but they could only stand outside the cordon.

A reporter noticed Maori and immediately stepped forward to interview him, but Yamazaki immediately stayed away from him.

A moment later, the Mumu Police Department led the team.

Mao Li immediately went up to say hello, "Master Police Department, Mori Kogoro is here to report."

The Mumu Police Department had a headache, but still waved and let Maori join in.

During the shooting by the reporters, Maori happily entered the cordon.

Yamazaki did not follow, not wanting to be photographed.

Yamazaki walked around to the hotel and found that the side door was also blocked, but there was no guard behind it, and there was no door there, only rows of transom windows, some of which were large enough for people to enter and exit.

Yamazaki couldn't help shaking his head, if the prisoner didn't run away, he would be an idiot.

Yamazaki climbed into the hotel, wiping away fingerprints and footprints along the way.

Yamazaki entered the lobby and prepared to take the elevator, but found that two of the three elevators were broken.

Yamazaki frowned, this is too coincidental.

Yamazaki observed for a while, the hotel lobby has a monitoring system.

When seeing the fire protection system, Yamazaki thought of a problem. There are only three elevators in this hotel. How to evacuate the entire building quickly in case of fire?

Yamazaki probably figured out the prisoner's behavior, but at this time, the prisoner had already slipped away.

Simply, Yamazaki also slipped away, and returned the same way, wiping off fingerprints and footprints along the way.

Yamazaki walked to the main entrance of the hotel, looked at the cordon, and couldn't help shaking his head, this thing is just for show.

Yamazaki took out his cell phone and started writing a text message to send to Mori to report the situation. ...

On the other side, the 39th floor of the hotel.

The secretary narrated the incident she experienced. Although there was a lot of English mixed in, neither the Megure Police Department nor Mori could understand it, but Officer Takagi, Officer Chiba, Conan, and Eisuke Hondo could understand it.

Officer Takagi explained, "Miss Secretary said that the president wanted to meet a newcomer before the incident, and went to the restaurant on the top floor to have lunch with this person."

"The president personally searched for this person, and he didn't let the secretary look on, but deliberately dismissed the secretary, so the secretary didn't know the exact age and appearance of this newcomer."

"The only thing that is certain is that this newcomer must look like a foreigner and be fluent in Japanese."

"This secretary is actually a newcomer, but her Japanese is not good, so she can't be on stage, so she was asked to be the secretary first."

"The agreed time was 11:45, and at around 11:40, the president asked the secretary to go to a warehouse on the 37th floor to pick up things."

"And when Miss Secretary came back, she found that the president was dead, and then she reported the crime. It was around 11:48."

"Chiba and I happened to be nearby, and we rushed over when we were notified. The time was around 11:51."

"That's it."

Mao Li pondered: "Six minutes is enough to escape."

Hondo Yingyou smiled and said, "Uncle, this is the 39th floor, and two more elevators have broken down. In a few minutes, no one can escape."

Megure Police Department nodded, "Very good, Chiba, first gather all the guests in this hotel who look like foreigners."

"Yes." Officer Chiba took the order and went.

At this time, Maori's cell phone rang, and there was a text message.

After Mao Li took a look, he immediately said, "Police, I think the person has already escaped."

Hondo Eisuke's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that this was a text message from Yamazaki.

The Mumu Police Department asked: "How do you say?"

Mao Li said: "It should be like this, the murderer should have known about this hotel beforehand."

"There is a monitoring system in the hotel lobby, he should have put on makeup."

"Two of the three elevators in the hall broke down today. It should be the murderer's fault."

The Mumu Police Department was surprised, "Why did he do this?"

Maori asked: "Police, do you think that if a fire broke out in the hotel, three elevators would be enough to evacuate the guests on dozens of floors?"

"Freight elevator!" Conan reacted.

Maori was immediately annoyed, this was clearly a stealing of lines, so he picked up Conan and threw him out of the room.

outside room.

Seeing Conan fall at his feet, Haibara smiled and watched with folded arms, condescendingly, "Excuse me."

Conan's already resentful complexion suddenly turned darker, this was just adding insult to injury.

With the help of Genta and Mitsuhiko, Conan grinned and stood up, feeling pain all over his body.

However, Conan couldn't take care of it anymore, and ran to investigate the freight elevator when he got up.

Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi immediately followed, Haibara sighed and went too, she wanted to watch San Xiao.

Dr. A Li rubbed his stomach with a bitter face, and decided to stay here, he was so hungry that he had no energy left.

He was looking forward to this big meal in the morning, so he ate less for breakfast, and planned to save his stomach for a big meal, but in the end, alas!

On the other side, inside.

Maori continued to explain: "The hotel's freight elevator is also a safe evacuation channel, but under normal circumstances, it will not be used by guests."

"However, in case of an emergency, like today's situation, two of the three elevators are broken, and it must be accommodated. Otherwise, the guests can't be kept waiting, which will damage the reputation."

The Mumu police department also wanted to understand, "Yes, the criminal can take advantage of this and quickly escape from the hotel after committing the crime."

Mao Li said: "At the same time avoid the surveillance system in the hall, so that no one will know when he left."

Mu Mu Police Department nodded, "It makes sense."

Mao Li said with a smile: "Also, the police department, the hotel has ventilation windows on the back side of the street, which are large enough to allow people to come in and out. The police have not sealed off those places, so even now, the murderer can escape calmly."

Megure Police Department was surprised, "Is there such a thing? Takagi."

"Yes!" Officer Takagi took the order to investigate. ...
