Under the moonlight, Rum lay on the cold floor tiles, holding the letter tightly in his hand.

His right eye stared at the words on the letter.

Until the body temperature gradually disappeared, a slightly bright spot appeared on Rum's body.

Behind him, Haneda Yasuharu was sitting in a wheelchair. Seeing that the shiny bald head stopped moving, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and leaned heavily on the backrest of the wheelchair.

After 17 years, he finally avenged his son.

For a moment, the heavy boulder stuffed in his heart fell to the ground, and Haneda Yasuharu's tense nerves relaxed. There was an itching pain in his lungs, and he couldn't help but cough again and again.

"Ahem..."

Akai Muwu comforted him: "I'll send you away first, and let Qin handle the aftermath."

"Is it okay? Qin?" He turned to Qin Zhibo and asked.

"Um."

Qin Zhibo still stood in front of Rum's body and nodded.

After Akai Mutake pushed the wheelchair and sent Haneda Yasharu and Matsunaka Yuriko out of the collection room, Qin Zhibo squatted down and took out the [Glass Bottle].

When he learned the information that Rum was expelled from the organization in the United States a few days ago, Qin Zhibo had already guessed that Rum would find a way out for him.

The huge wealth left by Isekawa Gozo was obviously his retreat.

Moreover, Gozo Isekawa seemed to have predicted Rum's final fate in his letter.

But having said that, this was the first time Qin Zhibo met the legendary second-in-command of the organization.

It turns out that his true appearance is that of a bald man wearing an eyepatch.

Driven by curiosity, Qin Zhibo reached out his hand and carefully lifted off Rum's blindfold.

When the black eye mask is lifted, there is a dry pit under the eye mask, and the raised parts on the upper and lower sides are the brow bones.

No left eye?

Qin Zhibo opened Rum's eyelids and checked, and found that the injuries inside were not old injuries.

This shows that Rum has recently undergone eyeball removal surgery.

Does this have anything to do with the "betrayal" he mentioned?

Since there is still unknown information, Qin Zhibo plans to use a [Glass Bottle] to imprison Rum's soul first, and then find a place to slowly inquire.

But when he took out the glass bottle and pointed it at Rum's body, a black light bead slowly rose from the body.

In the non-anthropomorphic state, the soul of a normal person is white and almost translucent.

But Rum's soul is filthy black.

I saw that the light ball symbolizing Rum's soul did not enter the mouth of the glass bottle, but quickly contracted like a star.

Then, it suddenly exploded and turned into black fireworks that spread out until they completely dissipated.

Rum's soul was destroyed in front of Qin Zhibo's eyes.

This is……

This was the first time Qin Zhibo saw this situation, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

He continued to try using glass bottles, but no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer extract the soul from Rum.

It's the same thing when I take out the yellow paper used for channeling, but I still can't channel.

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and guessed that this might be some kind of curse imposed on Rum's soul by the boss.

After all, once the soul of an organizational leader like Rum is used after death, he will definitely reveal many secrets that should not be revealed.

It turns out that even this has been considered...

Qin Zhibo sighed softly and could only put the glass bottle away.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

Qin Zhibo didn't even think about it, he thought it was a call from Akai Muwu, just to tell Haneda that Yasuharu had settled in the car.

But as soon as he answered the phone, a strange woman's voice came from the other side.

"Detective, do you still remember me?"

The woman's voice was suggestive, but it made Qin Zhibo immediately alert.

"Who are you?"

"...It's true that noble people forget things so much. We've only been apart for a few months, but haven't you already forgotten me?"

"I am Maya Tachibana."

The woman on the other side of the phone suddenly stopped her teasing tone and said in a serious tone.

Hearing this distant name, Qin Zhibo's face was startled, and his mind recalled the bloody tongue female killer who planned to assassinate Kogoro Mori a long time ago.

After he caught her, he let her go on the condition that she would provide him with information about the Bloody Tongue.

Afterwards, she provided herself with information about the killer "Silver Fox" and disappeared for a long time.

Of course, in ordinary people's sense of time, it may not have disappeared for too long...

"It's you..."

"Call me for something?"

Qin Zhibo still remembered the agreement he made at that time. If he had any information about the movements of the Bloody Tongue and some information that might be useful, he would provide it to him.

"Of course there is something..."

"Listen, I have recently received some news that some killer organizations, including the Bloody Tongue, are about to launch a major operation."

"Just a few days ago, I was ordered to bring several Voodoo people to Japan."

"They seem to be hiding in the mountains of Gunma County now. As for what they are doing specifically, I don't know..."

Tachibana Maya poured out all the information.

Qin Zhibo's expression suddenly became serious and he asked: "Do you know where it is specifically?"

Tachibana Maya on the other side of the phone denied: "How do I know this?"

"But I once saw the webpage they browsed, and it seemed that they were paying attention to an audition for a program group..."

"An audition for the show?"

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, "What program group?"

"It seems to be called... Zombie Sword or something..."

…

In the bedroom on the second floor of the villa, Conan and Hattori Heiji were sitting on the floor, next to the screenwriter's body lying on his side.

But at the moment, they didn't care about the corpse, but checked the video on the screenwriter's cell phone.

On the small mobile phone screen, the screenwriter is standing in front of the desk with his back to the camera angle, pouring the unknown liquid from the medicine bottle into the mineral water bottle.

During the process, he also looked back in the direction behind him, as if to confirm whether his movements were recorded on his mobile phone.

Then, he twisted his upper body to the other side and poured the mineral water bottle with unknown liquid into his mouth without hesitation.

After taking a few big gulps, he suddenly let go, covering his throat and making a very painful expression.

After struggling for a few seconds, his body fell backward and fell out of the camera's field of view.

But the next second, that painful and twisted face suddenly appeared in the middle of the phone screen.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly and pressed the camera on his phone.

The screen suddenly went black, but it was still in recording mode.

The progress bar slid back for about 50 minutes, and the sound of Hattori Heiji calling the screenwriter to eat appeared in the pure black screen.

After watching the video, Conan and Hattori Heiji suddenly looked solemn.

Because this video recorded the entire process of the male screenwriter committing suicide by taking pills, it was a suicide that couldn't be more obvious.

"Kudo, it seems that he committed suicide this time..."

There was no one else here except the corpse lying on the ground, so Hattori Heiji called Conan by his nickname.

Conan still stared at the screen, frowning slightly and did not answer.

Although the evidence was overwhelming, he didn't quite understand the meaning of the video taken by the deceased.

And when he came to the villa this morning, the screenwriter looked very much looking forward to filming the sequel. He didn't look like he was going to commit suicide today at all.

Hattori Heiji next to him saw that Conan still didn't give up, so he stood up and went to look for the suicide note first.

Conan stared at the video and checked it again and again, but still felt something was not right.

Especially in the moment before the screenwriter fell to the ground, why did he suddenly turn his face and point at the phone when he was clearly lying backward?

What is the significance of this step?
