Chapter 277 - Chapter 276 The Fourteenth Target part 14

Because they had contacted each other in advance, when Aizen and others went there, Kohei Sawaki was at home, so they did not come back empty-handed. 

When they arrived at Kohei Sawaki's home, Juzo Megure immediately told him what had happened in succession, and at the same time said that Kohei Sawaki might be the next target to be attacked by the criminal.

 After hearing this, Kohei Sawaki said, "So that's how it is. This man named Jo Murakami is attacking Mr. Mouri's friends one after another just to get revenge on Mr. Mouri."

 "That's what happened."

 Mouri Kogoro nodded.

Kohei Sawaki looked at Mouri Kogoro and said, "But Mr. Mouri, I think you are quite calm."

Mouri Kogoro smiled and said, "Because my name contains the character 5, no matter how many times it takes, it will take a long time for me to get my turn."

 Hearing this, several people looked at him speechlessly. 

 Juzo Megure said, "Mr. Sawaki, I have a few questions for you now. Is that okay?" "

 Of course!"

Kohei Sawaki nodded, and then said, "By the way, do you know Mr. Katsuyoshi Asahi? He is the entrepreneur who opened more than a dozen restaurants in the city."

Kohei Sawaki handed an invitation to Juzo Megure.

 Kisaki Eri said, "I know, but this guy doesn't have a very good reputation."

 Kogoro Mouri said, "Mr. Katsuyoshi Asahi, he met me once before. I heard that his ocean recreation facility Water Crystal Restaurant in Tokyo Bay is going to open this time, right?"

 "Yes!"

Kohei Sawaki nodded, "He has agreed to let me run one of the restaurants there, so we agreed to meet at three o'clock in the afternoon."

 "I see!"

 Juzo Megure nodded and looked at the invitation.

 "Wait, the character Asahi in Katsuyoshi Asahi..."

 Conan's mind moved, and he immediately found that the character Asahi in Asahi Katsuyoshi has a nine, and this person has met Uncle Mouri, which means that this person is likely to be the person with the nine that Uncle Mouri has been unable to remember.

 Just when Conan was about to remind him, Kisaki Eri held up his glasses and said, "The character Asahi in Asahi Katsuyoshi has a nine, could he be the fifth target of the criminal?"

 "The character Asahi does have a nine."

 After being reminded by Kisaki Eri, Juzo Megure immediately found that this was indeed the case.

 "Ran's mother is really amazing. I can't lose to her. If I let her solve the case first, Jigsaw will kill people. I must solve the case first."

 Conan looked at Eri, clenching his fists tightly, and was extremely nervous.

 Eri looked at Aizen at this moment, puzzled, wondering why Aizen didn't even find this this time. Aizen seems to be mute, and has never found clues faster than her. It's really wrong.

 Mouri Kogoro pondered and said, "But the reason why I know him is that he asked me to help him find a cat. We are not friends at all."

 Juzo Megure said, "But Jo Murakami would not think so at all. Anyway, while we are protecting Mr. Sawaki, we should go to see that Katsuyoshi Asahi."

 "Mr. Sawaki, do you think it's okay?" Juzo Megure asked Sawaki.

 Sawaki said, "I don't mind, but it's still early now. If we go too early, we won't be able to see Katsuyoshi Asahi." 

Ninzaburo Shiratori said, "It's lunch time now. Why don't we have lunch together and then go to Tokyo Bay together."

 No one refused, and the group left together and went to the nearest restaurant to eat.

 There were exactly eight people. Megure Juzo and others drove a car, and Aizen drove a car, so they were divided into two cars, with Aizen, Kisaki Eri, Ran and Conan in one car.

 The restaurant was not far from Sawaki Kouhei's residence, and they arrived soon. When the car stopped, Kisaki Eri did not walk into the restaurant immediately, but stopped by the car and waited for Aizen.

 After Aizen parked the car, he walked to Kisaki Eri and walked into the restaurant with her.

 Eri said, "Aizen, why didn't you notice that Asahi Katsuyoshi's name contained the word nine? This is not like you!"

 "So that's what you want to ask."

 Aizen replied, "Of course I thought about it. How could I not have thought of such a simple thing."

 Eri said in confusion, "Then why didn't you say it before?"

 Aizen said, "I was thinking about something. The reason we found out that Asahi Katsuyoshi's name contained the word nine was because we were reminded by Kohei Sawaki. Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"

 "What do you mean? Are you doubting Mr. Sawaki?"

 Eri stopped and turned to look at Aizen.

 Aizen shook his head and said, "I'm not doubting him, I just think it's too coincidental. As a detective, anything that's a little bit wrong is worth thinking about."

 Eri Kisaki nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand what you mean."

 Aizen reminded, "Don't tell anyone this matter. If Mr. Kohei Sawaki has nothing, but I suspect him, that's not good. If he really has something, telling it will only make him alert."

 "Don't worry, I won't tell this matter."

 Eri Kisaki nodded, but she was quite happy in her heart. Aizen did not find anything, but just suspected other aspects, so she was relieved.

 After lunch, it was already twelve o'clock.

 Although it was twelve o'clock, there were still three hours before three o'clock. There was not much point in going to the marine entertainment facilities in Tokyo Bay too early. There was no need to meet Asahi Katsuyoshi, and it might not be possible to get in.

 The group returned to Kohei Sawaki's residence. After resting for an hour, they set off for the marine entertainment facilities in Tokyo Bay at one o'clock.

 At about 1:40, the group arrived at Tokyo Bay. However, they unexpectedly met a few people here.

 The water crystal stands in the ocean, which is very spectacular.

 At the parking lot, Aizen and his group met four people, three men and one woman, namely the female model Nana Osanai, the famous host Peter Ford, the photographer Eimei Shishido holding a camera, and the food critic Minoru Nishina.

After the group met, they introduced each other and got to know each other briefly.

After introducing each other, Juzo Megure asked, "Hello, are you also invited by Mr. Katsuyoshi Asahi?"

"Yes, I have an appointment with him at two o'clock."

Eimei Shishido replied while taking pictures of the surroundings with a camera.

Minoru Nishina said, "I also have an appointment at two o'clock." 

Nana Osanai looked at her watch and said, "It's almost two o'clock, let's go in first."

Nana Osanai and others walked towards the cable car, and Aizen and others naturally followed, and the group entered the cable car. There was no one in the cable car. There was a button on the cable car console. After pressing it, it can drive itself. It can be said to be high-tech, at least in this era.

The cable car drove out of the facility and came to the top of the sea.

"Mr. Minoru Nishina are you afraid of heights?"

Nana Osanai suddenly asked, she saw Minoru Nishina sweating on his head. Like Mouri Kogoro, Mouri Kogoro was afraid of heights, so she asked this question.

"No!"

said Minoru Nishina "I'm not afraid of heights, but I'm afraid of water. I'm a landlubber."

Taking the cable car, the group soon arrived at the water crystal.

Arriving at the water crystal, the group took the elevator to the bottom floor. After reaching the ground, everyone found that this could be said to be an aquarium, or an underwater restaurant with an aquarium, which was very high-end.

However, when they got here, they didn't find Asahi Katsuyoshi. He was not waiting for them here.

Ninzaburo Shiratori said, "Inspector, could it be that Katsuyoshi Asahi has been in trouble? I'll go look around."

"I'll go too."

Mouri Kogoro said and left with Ninzaburo Shiratori.

Eimei Shishido saw this and said, "Mr. Policeman, has something happened? I wanted to ask you before, why did you come here too?"

"I'll tell you this later. Let's find a place with a wall and sit down first."

Juzo Megure said to everyone, and then he started looking for a place with a wall blocking it. The reason why he found a place with a wall blocking it was naturally for safety. In this way, even if Jo Murakami wanted to attack them, the direction he could attack was limited.

Everyone found a table and sat down, and Juzo Megure told them what happened and the reason for his arrival.

"In that case, I will be the eighth target of the criminal's attack."

Although Kohei Sawaki said this, his face was nonchalant. Obviously, he didn't think this matter had anything to do with him, and he was not afraid.

Nana asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

Shishido Nagaaki said, "Because my last name, there is a six under the Shishi character in Shishido. If we arrange them from largest to smallest, it would be the eighth."

"The other three people also have numbers in their names."

Conan, who had known this for a long time, suddenly spoke up. Saying this now would not attract too much attention, and he would not have to find another opportunity to tell his discovery.
