Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 432: Imitator Carnival (Part 2)

Seeing that his skill CD was about to end, Hattori Heiji made another guess: "I guess the sorcerer is a boxer", but his guess failed.

"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be an orator or a sentry?" Hattori Heiji muttered to himself.

At this moment, a fire suddenly broke out in the room, and the bell broadcast, the imitator's remote control device, the doors that could be opened and closed, and the surveillance all failed at the same time.

"Wow, what's going on? Is there an accidental fire?" Hattori Heiji was shocked, but then he felt that although the flames looked scary, they were not very hot. Only when he tried to touch the bell-pulling device did he feel the burning pain.

"This is 'high temperature'. In this case, all facilities will fail. This is a newly added rule, but the rulebook will be updated synchronously. You can take a look at it yourself."

Sure enough, after Hattori Heiji took out the instruction manual, three new rules were added to the original rules: "high temperature", "collapse" and "dust storm", as well as additional explanations.

"The high temperature will temporarily disable all devices. Some people with special abilities may be able to break through this blockade."

"The collapse will slow down everyone's movement and interrupt any active skills, including the thief's invisibility. Some people with special abilities can break through this blockade."

"Dust storms only occur outdoors. Everyone's visibility is greatly reduced during the duration of the dust storm, and they can't hear any sound other than Chu Chenbao's voice. Returning indoors will not be affected. The dust storm will spread indoors, and some people with special abilities can speed up the spread of the dust storm or break through this blockade."

Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai were also a little surprised to find out that there was a fire. Shuichi Akai had already arrived at the door of the restaurant and happened to see Conan who was verifying his identity with the Air Force.

Amuro Toru then made his way into the power room, but the scene unfolding there was rather abstract: a mechanic stood beside the motor, eating a melon, while a lawyer and a philanthropist were performing a duet around the power plant in the center of the room.

"Freddy Riley, if you have the guts, don't run!" The philanthropist chased the lawyer fiercely.

"If you don't chase me, I won't run away." The lawyer ran in front tiredly. Even if he was as hard-hearted as iron, he couldn't stand the philanthropist's tormenting him like this.

"If you don't run, I won't chase you."

"If you don't chase me, I won't run away."

It is obvious that these two people have been talking about the same thing over and over again.

Toru Amuro felt that he had come at the wrong time, because the venue had just indicated that destructive devices could not be used while the high temperature persisted, so he could only stand at the door of the power room and watch the lawyer and philanthropist perform a duet.

The mechanic yawned. "I told you two you're not done. Florian's airbags can't last as long as you."

The lawyer ran faster and faster as if he was wearing foot strength training. "What a joke! I, Lord Riley, will not be chased by a mere thief."

"Isn't it true that a great lawyer is now being chased by a thief like me?" The philanthropist has already taken out his flashlight and is ready to make trouble.

"Oh, Mr. Amuro, would you like to verify your identity?" the mechanic took the initiative to greet Amuro Toru, who was standing by the door. "It just so happens that all the equipment is out of service right now, so there's no need to worry about the imitator turning off the lights at this time."

Toru Amuro thought about it and it seemed that the identity was a good choice now. The lawyer and the philanthropist were fighting here. He just had to compare his identity with the mechanic and then kill him. Then he could wait for the high temperature to end, turn off the lights and kill one of the two people with the knife.

"Okay, then let's go to the prayer hall." Toru Amuro agreed to the mechanic's request for identity.

Before leaving, the mechanic reminded the philanthropist: "Hey, Mr. Pearson, Mr. Amuro and I are going to verify our identities, don't forget."

"Got it, take it, Riley!"

"Get out of here!"

Amidst the commotion between the philanthropist and the lawyer, the two left the power room and arrived at the prayer hall. Amuro Toru frowned, sensing that the mechanic must have someone to rely on if she dared to come alone. Perhaps she was an orator or a boxer, both of which could offer some protection against the underground doctor's attacks.

"I am a monk. What is Miss Tracy's identity?" Toru Amuro decided to take the initiative and lie about his identity first.

"Oh, no wonder Mr. Amuro hung around outside for so long before coming to the power room. He must have used his monk skills to watch the farce of Mr. Riley and Mr. Pearson outside for a long time." The mechanic laughed, covering his mouth.

To cover up his lie, Amuro Toru could only agree: "Indeed, these two gentlemen have been fighting for a long time, and I have been wondering about their identities. So, Mr. Pearson should have a knife in his hand, and Mr. Riley should not."

"Everyone in the manor is used to their fighting." The mechanic stretched.

"Miss Tracy, you haven't revealed your identity yet."

"Oh, I'm a boxer." The mechanic also made up his identity.

Amuro Toru's hand, which was about to draw his sword, stopped again because the mechanic continued, "Ah, I had my skill activated the entire time you were reporting yourself. It should be ineffective by the time we get back to the power room."

Amuro Toru breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I didn't do it directly, otherwise the gain would be more than the loss. However, I can't rule out the possibility that the person in front of me is lying about his identity."

"Okay, Mr. Amuro, let's go back and see if the two gentlemen have decided the winner." The mechanic turned around and walked out of the prayer hall.

At this time, the high temperature ended and the next special event would not happen for some time. Amuro Toru decisively turned off the lights and prepared to change his strategy.

Originally, he was planning to kill the mechanic, but the mechanic might be a boxer, so it would be better to pick a suitable person to kill. He could directly kill the lawyer and then put the blame on the philanthropist.

Or after the philanthropist stabs the lawyer, he can stab the philanthropist. This way, it can be faked that the imitator and the boxer die together. Then it will be possible to determine whether the mechanic is a real boxer.

Before turning off the lights, Akai Shuichi met Kongfu and Conan. Before that, Kongfu and Conan had compared their identities here. Kongfu trusted Conan very much and told him his identity as a sheriff directly. Conan also told him his identity as a detective truthfully.

"By the way, Ms. Marta, Hattori is a chess player. He already has the identities of two people, so it's best to kill him before he guesses the third one."

That’s right, Conan decided to backstab his good brother Hattori Heiji. As the saying goes, the first to strike is the strongest, the last to strike will suffer; hesitation will lead to defeat, decisiveness will result in failure (?).

"Hattori, it's not that I don't want to help you. As a detective, I also want to lead the detective team to victory." Conan observed a three-second silence for Hattori Heiji.

The Air Force officer asked in surprise, "Are you sure Mr. Hattori will give us the identity information he guessed?"

"He's already guessed I'm a detective, and he also randomly guessed Kaito Kidd is the Phantom Thief. Now he only needs to guess the identities of two more people to win."

At this time, Shuichi Akai appeared in the corridor. He looked at the Air Force and Conan who were verifying their identities, and slowly approached.
