At this point, everyone has been able to confirm that a copycat was involved in the poker murder case.

The Shiratori Police Department asked Mouri Kogoro:"Mr. Mouri, who among your acquaintances has nine in his name?" Because Tsuji Hiroki, who had ten in his name, was dead, the murderer's next target must be nine.

"Nine?"Kogoro tilted his chin and racked his brains to remember. Finally his eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and shouted:"I remember! It's Mr. Asahi Shengyi, and his name has nine in it!"

Hearing this name, Ye Ling thought to himself: As expected, he still can't escape. He asked knowingly:"Xu Shengyi, is he the super rich man who opened a hotel in Tokyo Bay?"

Takagi echoed:"I also know him, he's been on the news every day recently. He opened a hotel on the bottom of the sea. Through the glass, you can directly see the fish in the water. Many people are looking forward to the opening of his hotel."

"If I remember correctly, the name of the hotel seems to be AQUACRYSTAL, and people on the Internet call it the Crystal Palace."Shiratori Police Department also added thoughtfully.

"Anyway, let's go and take a look first. The prisoner's next target may be him. Ye Ling suggested.

Kogoro looked puzzled,"But I'm not familiar with him. I just helped him find a cat.""

"It doesn't matter whether he is familiar with him or not. The prisoner might just kill him to make up the numbers.……"

Hearing Ye Ling's words, everyone couldn't help but trembled, remembering what Sawaki said when he was arrested. The person the murderer wants to kill is hidden among the thirteen targets, and the others are used to make up the number.……

……

Once again, Xiaolan and Conan set off in Kogoro's car. Ye Ling and Haibara Ai were still in the doctor's car, but this time there were two more policemen, Takagi and Shiratori.

Because Tokyo Bay is very close, it didn’t take long for everyone to arrive. After getting off the bus and standing on the shore, you can see the magnificent building above the sea from a distance. It doesn't look like a hotel, but more like a science fiction facility.

"He is indeed a rich man.……"Ye Ling couldn't help complaining in his heart

"so beautiful!"When Xiaolan saw such a beautiful building, she admired it from the bottom of her heart.

It was only then that everyone realized that there were already many people on the shore, and they seemed to be going to the Crystal Palace. Ye Ling glanced at it, It was confirmed that they were all the supporting characters who appeared in the animation, and they all had numbers in their names. However, Ye Ling only remembered this, and had long forgotten their specific names.

These guests who arrived earlier saw Ye Ling and others get off the car , couldn't help but muttered

"Hey hey, why are there so many people here again?"

"Yes, how many guests did Boss Xu invite?"

"It would be boring if there were too many people."

Shiratori Police Department stepped forward, showed his police card, and said,"I'm sorry, I am Shiratori from the Metropolitan Police Department, and I have something to ask you."

When they saw the police card, they were all shocked,"Police? One of them, a woman with dyed hair who looked very sexy and the only woman, asked the Shiratori Police Department

:"Why are the police even here? What happened?""

"The thing is like this……"The Shiratori Police Department described the poker attack case to them.

After hearing this, they all said they had learned a little bit about it from the news. The woman asked again:"Does that matter have anything to do with us? The news said that the prisoner has been caught?""

"The prisoner has indeed been arrested, but now a copycat appears and continues to commit crimes and kills Mr. Tsuji Hiroki, who has ten in his name. We guess that the prisoner's next target is Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi."Shiratori Police Department asked them:"Since you are here, it means that you all know Mr. Asahi Shengyi, right?"

Everyone nodded, and then introduced themselves at the request of the police.

The sexy girl's name is Koyamauchi Nana, and she is a model; the uncle holding a SLR camera is named Shido Nagaaki, and he is a photographer; about four people The teenage blond foreigner named Peter Ford is a news commentator who often appears on TV; the man in a white suit with oily hair and pink face is named Nishina Minoru and is a writer. After hearing the introduction, Ye Ling pretended to be surprised,"Huh? You all have numbers in your names."

After Ye Ling reminded everyone, everyone noticed this. Dr. Ali exclaimed:"It's true!"

Xiao Ai thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case. The word Nana has the same pronunciation as"seven" in Japanese, Shido Nagaaki is six, Peter Ford's"Ford" is a homophone to the English"four", and finally Nishina Minoru is two

"So, I also have numbers in my name."Uncle Maori was suddenly frightened and tremblingly said to himself:"Maori Kogoro, also known as Wu……"

"My name is Shiratori Rensaburo, also known as San."Shiratori Police Department echoed.

In this way, from two to seven, they are all together, only one is missing. Xiaolan seemed to realize something, and said nervously:"Shinichi...will the last one be... What about Shinichi?"

Conan was shocked. Indeed, if he hadn't become smaller, he would have rushed over when he heard about this kind of case, so that one was probably pointing at him. However, Ye Ling shook his head and said:"That's not right."

Everyone looked at him, and Xiaolan asked:"What? Ye

Ling replied:"One does refer to Kudo Shinichi, but you are wrong to say that one is the last number." Don’t forget, there is a number smaller than one."

Xiao Ai reacted, looked up at Ye Ling, and said the number,"Zero... But the number zero does not exist in playing cards."

"Who knows what the prisoner was thinking."Ye Ling smiled.

"So, except for Kudo Shinichi who is missing, all the other numbers are complete. Detective Takagi swallowed and said nervously:"Is this really a coincidence?" Why do I have an ominous feeling……"

……

While everyone was talking, a Rolls-Royce sedan suddenly drove up and stopped in a nearby parking space. Everyone looked over there. The driver got out of the car and opened the door. A man of about sixty years old with a cigar in his mouth walked out of the car. Because he has been on TV recently, everyone recognized him. He was Mr. Asahi Shengyi.

Ye Ling was a little surprised to see him at first, but then he understood.

In the animation, Xu Shengyi should have been killed at this time, but now that he caught the criminal in advance, the plot changed, and Xu Shengyi is still alive and well. So if you really want to say it, I still saved his life...

Of course, Xu Shengyi knew nothing about all this. Seeing that everyone was still standing on the shore, he said apologetically:"I'm sorry, I was delayed a little late due to business matters, and I kept you waiting for a long time. Why didn't you go in first?"

"It's okay, we just happen to be chatting with the police here."

"Um? police? Xu Shengyi looked at the unfamiliar faces in the crowd in confusion,"Hey, Detective Maori is here too?" You are a guest. If you have anything to do, please go to the hotel to discuss it. This is not the place to talk."

Shiratori Police Department nodded. Xu Shengyi was already under his nose anyway, so it was not too late.
