The next day, before I even opened my eyes, I was woken up by my own phone ringing.

"Moshi Moshi..." I didn't even bother to open my eyes. I answered the phone in a daze while lying on the bed. "Who is this?"

"Xun, it's me." Conan's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Are you still sleeping? What time is it?"

"If you have nothing else, I'll hang up." I said unhappily.

"Don't, don't..." Conan was stunned. "I want to ask you, have you found anything?"

"You got up so early in the morning just to ask this?" I said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Let's exchange information."

"Don't forget, we are competitors now." I said unhappily. "Even if I have information, I won't tell you."

"The priority is solving the case. I already know who the criminal's next target is."

"...Hiroki Tsuji, right?" I said helplessly.

"Huh? You knew?!" Conan was surprised.

"So why do you think I'm still awake?" I said with contempt. "Go and protect Hiroki Tsuji. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

"Eh? Come on, tell me the details... Hello? Hello!" Before Conan finished speaking, my call was hung up, leaving Conan mumbling on the other side of the phone. "Really. You already have a clue but you don't say it. What if someone dies after this, I really..." Conan was angry but dared not say anything, after all, he made the bet with Xun first. "But he is really amazing. It only took him one night to get ahead of me." Conan said unwillingly. "Humph, I won't give up so easily. Just wait and see! I will definitely find the criminal before you!"

Yes, last night, I found out the last person Murakami Jō had contact with before he disappeared at the police station. To be honest, I was quite surprised that the person was actually the sommelier I had met at the hotel, Sawaki Kohei. His appearance surprised me, but it was reasonable. After learning about this person, I asked Liu Yuxin to investigate some files about Sawaki Kohei from the archives of the police station. I stayed in the monitoring room to find their whereabouts. What's interesting is that our electronic eyes followed Sawaki all the way back home. Of course, Murakami also followed, but the next day, Murakami did not follow Sawaki out of his house. This result seemed to have helped me find the target of this operation. As for Sawaki's file materials, it would have been better if I hadn't investigated them. Once I investigated, the whole case was clearly placed in front of me in an instant, including his next target. However, I only know his motive for murder now, but I don't have enough evidence. I don't know his modus operandi either. Although I don't need that thing. Because I have only one goal. That is, to kill him! But in order to convince our detective classmate Ke Xiaonan, I don't plan to take action now. Instead, I am not in a hurry. Because nothing is easier than catching him in the act. So, I just need to keep getting closer to him and find a chance to catch him, or just kill him.

"Woo... Bingjiang~" Just after I put down the phone, Jingliu, who was sleeping next to me, came over to me. But looking at the crystal liquid on her lips, she should still be dreaming.

With a faint smile on my lips, I put down my phone, closed my eyes again, and crawled into the bed again. I didn't refuse Jingliu's embrace, and I fell into a deep sleep. I had thoroughly investigated the content of the matter last night. So, now I can have a good sleep.

———————————Detective Conan The Movie: The Fourteenth Target—————————————

"What? Are you still going to Asahi Katsuyoshi's AQUACRYSTAL Ocean Casino?" That afternoon, I was not fully slept when I was woken up by a phone call from Conan. The content of the call was that Hiroki Tsuji was indeed attacked, and even my dad was almost killed. But fortunately, they all escaped. Although I never advocate such things that put my family at risk, I endured it because the police investigation is a public matter. However, the police will not stop until they have investigated the whole case. Isn't it true that after the attack on "Ten", the police once again set their sights on the next person who might be attacked. However, the target was locked on Sawaki Kohei's "Eight". At the same time, from Sawaki Kohei's words, they also learned about his next itinerary, which was Asahi Katsuyoshi's "Nine".

"Yes, Mr. Sawaki said he would meet with Asahi Katsuyoshi at 3 pm." Conan said. "Are you coming? Bring the information you found."

"Of course, you guys go ahead, I'll be there soon." Are you kidding? The real criminal is Sawaki Kouhei, how can I feel at ease letting him be with my family? So after hanging up the phone, I quickly ran to the bathroom to wash up and get ready to leave.

"Bing, what's wrong?" Jingliu, who had gotten up early, heard the noise in the room and hurried in to ask me.

"Nothing, I have to go back." I said apologetically while getting dressed. "Sorry, Sister Jingliu, I have to leave again after only being back for less than a day."

"It's okay. After all, things over there are more important right now." Jingliu smiled gently. At the same time, he squatted down and kissed me lightly on the forehead. "You should also pay attention to safety. Although it is not as dangerous as the organization here, you still have to be careful."

"Well, don't worry~" I grinned. "Then you should rest at home today. It's a rare opportunity that you don't have to work on the island. Just relax."

"Okay~" Jingliu responded playfully. She completely understood what I meant.

"Where are Xue and the others?"

"They're downstairs." Jingliu answered. "Why? Do you have something to tell them?"

"Just in case of emergency." A hint of evil appeared on the corner of my mouth. "Let's go, let's go down."

After that, Jingliu followed me downstairs. The three sisters of the Ning family were resting downstairs. When they saw me coming down, they hurriedly stood up and came over. "Axue, go and contact this address." I handed Ningxue a piece of paper. "Go and intercept the communication at this address. We may need it later. After it's done, continue to make preparations according to the following orders. It's best if it doesn't need to be used. If it is used, be careful not to get into trouble."

"Yes." Ningxue said cautiously.

"Okay, I'm leaving. If you don't receive my order by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, everyone must withdraw. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Without further ado, I took the car out of the necklace and drove all the way to the Asahi Shengyi Ocean Casino. I found a secluded place near the beach to park the car, then stretched out my hand to call a taxi and officially drove to the destination. When I arrived, there were already many people standing in front of the casino.

"Xiaoxun? Why are you here?" Xiaolan was surprised when she saw me getting out of the taxi.

"Well, because Conan called and told me that I could come to Ocean Casino to play, so I ran out." I laughed and put the blame on Conan. This also caused my father to glare at Conan, and Conan could only smile awkwardly. Then he glared at me fiercely.

"You are really something. You sell me out first when you come." Conan looked at me unhappily with his half-moon eyes.

"Isn't this convenient and saves trouble? Otherwise, I have no reason to come here." I shrugged.

"Okay, now that you're here, tell me the clues you got."

"Okay~, introduce me to the people here first, and then we can exchange information."

"Eh..." Conan sighed and began to speak. "From the left, they are writer Nishina, photographer Shishido, the Ford in the back and Mr. Sawaki, you have seen them, and the woman next to uncle is the model Nana Koyama. They were all arranged by Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi to meet at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows and smiled, "So, you're going to take it all down?"

"What do you mean by all at once?"

"Haven't you noticed yet?" I looked at Conan. "Haven't you noticed that their names all have numbers?"

"Huh?!" Conan suddenly came to his senses after hearing what I said, and looked at a few people. After a few seconds, Conan's pupils shrank slightly.

"Nishina's two, Ford's four, my dad's five, Shishido's six, Koyama Nana is seven, Sawaki Kohei is eight, Asahi Katsuyoshi is nine, plus your one, Kudo Shinichi, and Officer Shiratori." I explained.

"Officer Shiratori?!"

"Ah, his full name is Shiratori Rensaburo." I said calmly. I saw this when I accidentally saw the duty roster at the police station last night. Of course, I can't tell Conan this.

"Is that so..." Conan thought.

"Hey, it's almost three o'clock now, let's go in first." While I was talking to Conan, Nana Koyama looked at her watch and said to everyone.

"Ah, indeed." Inspector Megure also glanced at his watch. "Then let's go into the restaurant first. Well, it looks like we need to take the monorail." After saying that, he greeted the targets and walked into the restaurant.

"Hey, Xun, how's your investigation going?" Conan asked me in a low voice on the way.

"I've finished the investigation. I already know who the murderer is, but I have no evidence. Although I don't need that thing." I said coldly.

"What?!" Conan was shocked, because he knew that if what Xun said was true, then the murderer must be one of the people present, otherwise he would not have rushed back in such a hurry. And the bet.

"Well... But in order to convince you, I will let him show his weakness in front of you, and then find a chance to kill him. In this way, even you can't say anything, right?" As I spoke, a hint of indifference flashed in my eyes. Conan's heart skipped a beat.

"Did I lose this bet?"

PS: I didn't check if there are any loopholes. I posted it right after I finished coding. Someone said yesterday that they wanted to see more posts, so I had nothing to do today, so I coded one more post. If you find any problems or bugs, please leave a message in the comment section of Qidian. In addition, you can search Mingya Liufeng Post Bar on Baidu if you have nothing to do. People are having a lot of fun chatting there. Also... I haven't posted in the group for a long time. The kids in the group are a little anxious, so I'll post a song here, 372442921.
