Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 436: Imitator Carnival (Epilogue)

"Those servants at Melody's mansion are all products of your genetic experiments, right? It took me a long time to find some issues with their identification. You hid it really well."

"This is the limit of what you can find out. Even if the public security officers continue to work hard, they will not be able to obtain the technology from our manor. Since you don't want to, we can discuss this topic later. One day, you will come to me on your own initiative."

The perspective returns to the venue of the Imitation Game.

Air Force looked around the restaurant, trying to find Hattori Heiji and then kill him. After all, the philanthropist's hunter identity had been exposed in the meeting just now. According to Conan, Hattori Heiji now knew the candidates for the three identities of "Phantom Thief", "Detective" and "Hunter". If he guessed one more, the game would be over.

Hattori Heiji also knew this, so he hid directly in the dormitory. This place was spacious and it was easier to deal with others. Then he turned his head and saw the adventurer, who had shrunk to the size of a palm, hiding in a small corner.

"So you've been hiding here like this since the last round."

"Shh, don't bring anyone else here. I'm planning to stay here forever, and then jump out to fight for victory when the game is over."

If you're fighting for victory in the endgame, then you're most likely a fool. Hattori Heiji thought so and pressed the guess button, but the result showed that the guess was wrong.

A fake identity? Then he could be another mysterious person, a cleaner, a homeless person, or a consultant. Hattori Heiji pondered and ruled out the homeless person as an option. After all, the homeless person couldn't win without going out and meeting the others.

When the prisoner sensed that the situation was not good, he went straight into the iron door of the monitoring room and decided not to go out this time.

Akai Shuichi was a little helpless. He should be one of the suspects of the detective team now, so the best way was to find someone to join the group, but he couldn't find Kaito Kid. That's right, because Kaito Kid was slacking off in the garden again.

However, the garden soon became too hot for slacking off. The night watchman, with his powerful wind, started creating a dust storm, and no one could be seen more than three meters away. Realizing he couldn't stay in the garden any longer, Kaito Kid decided to bypass everyone and continue slacking off, so he trotted all the way to the dormitory.

Then I saw Hattori Heiji standing by the bed, doing something unknown.

"Hey, good opportunity, let's take this opportunity to kill someone, otherwise my teammates will say that I am not doing my job at all." Kaito Kid quickly approached Hattori Heiji and killed him.

After watching Hattori Heiji fall quietly, Kaito Kidd also expressed his admiration for the sword-drawing action in the imitator mode: "It feels like a virtual game, but to be honest, some real-life escape rooms also use props to achieve the same effect."

"Wow, noodle knife!"

Kaito Kidd was stunned for a moment, not noticing that there was someone beside him. Turning around, he saw the adventurer "growing" out of the ground.

"what?"

The adventurer pressed the bell button before Kaito Kidd could react.

However, when he arrived at the meeting, the adventurer simply turned off the microphone and said nothing.

"No, brother? What are you doing?" The only reasonable explanation Kaito Kidd could think of was that the adventurer was a fool.

"Kurt, say something." The mechanic scratched her head, because she herself was a sentry, so the adventurer couldn't have stabbed the sentry and automatically rang the bell.

But the lawyer and the philanthropist who didn't know the truth were different. The philanthropist took the lead and said, "Hey, our great adventurer stabbed the sentry and now he's not saying anything. Is he playing dumb?"

Conan immediately refuted the philanthropist: "No, Hattori is a chess player, not a sentry."

The mechanic also breathed a sigh of relief. This way, she no longer needed to rely on self-proof to verify the adventurer's innocence.

"If that's the case, his silence makes him look like someone who just rang the bell after finding a body," the lawyer added. "Everyone, please report your location."

"I'm still in the monitoring room." The prisoner spread his hands.

"The rest of us are basically in the dining room and the power room."

"Well, Mr. Akai was standing at the door of the power room at the time."

"Well, then the only ones who might take action are Kaito Kidd, Luca, and Kurt." The mechanic glanced at the three people.

"Why are you still suspecting me? I've been in the monitoring room for two consecutive rounds!" The prisoner blushed.

The mechanic shrugged. "You could just drill through the door and stab someone."

"I'm a locksmith!" The prisoner directly revealed his identity.

"I don't believe it at all, just shoot it away." The philanthropist put his hands on his hips. "How can someone who claims to be a locksmith be considered a good person these days?"

"I'm such a @￥%&*!"

The prisoner was unanimously sent flying amidst a chorus of curses.

Inside the small dark room, the prisoner angrily looked at the identities marked on the heads of several people, and once again blushed: "Damn it! Why did Kurt, a homeless man, pretend to be a fool and hurt me!"

"Maybe he's just being abstract. We have no idea what's going on in the mind of the great adventurer." The sorcerer laughed out loud as he looked at the prisoner.

Hattori Heiji felt a little regretful: "Oh, if I had guessed one more identity, I would have won directly. What a pity."

Amuro Toru watched the gradually relaxing atmosphere as he lowered his head in thought. "They seem to reveal their true intentions only when they're alone with me. So, are I the only one they're trying to recruit? Perhaps Akai is also on the list."

The game quickly entered the third round. Conan wondered why only two of the three abnormal phenomena appeared, because the abnormal phenomenon in this round was still "high temperature", so it should have been "collapse", right?

[Fool's Gold: Help...]

[Grocer: Would you consider doing business with me long-term, young man?]

[Noise: Granny Valentina, Norton is about to fall apart.]

[Evil Lizard: I really can’t bear to watch this.]

Akai Shuichi felt their chances of success were slim. The detective team was still working in pairs, and even if the high temperatures prevented them from ringing the bell, he didn't think he had a chance to kill them and then escape. After all, if one of the two-person group died, they could easily draw a conclusion by checking the external location information.

Soon, Shuichi Akai, who was found by the Air Force and Conan, fell under the gun of the sheriff. Shuichi Akai originally planned to use his invisibility ability to escape, but that was just a temporary solution. Since the other party had locked on to him, he could still be eliminated in the meeting later.

After ringing the meeting bell, Conan said the information he got from Hattori Heiji at the beginning, "Kaito Kid is the 'Phantom Thief'", and voted to knock Kaito Kid out.

The game ended, the "Detective Team Wins" sign appeared on the big screen, and everyone was teleported back to the starting hall.

"Welcome back, Conan, did you have fun?" The reporter sat in the middle of the long table and asked Conan with a smile.

Conan took a look at the situation in the hall. The photographer and the Umbrella Soul brothers seemed to have reconciled, looking through an album together; the perfumer was proudly introducing his latest perfume to the prophet and priest; the little girl was lying on the head of Guard No. 26, roasting him with lava made of fool's gold...
