"Brother Maori was at the police station before, and his marksmanship was one of the best." Police Officer Meguri said with his fat fingers.

"In addition, we found something very strange at the crime scene, this is this." Officer Shirato picked up a transparent evidence bag and showed it to Kogoro Mori. It contained a Western sword made of corrugated paper. Of course, it was just a dagger in length.

Conan looked at the sword made of paper and fell into deep thought. His brain seemed to have grasped some inspiration. When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing. It seemed that he had seen this thing somewhere, and where was it?

"We have no clue yet on what this strange thing means." Officer Shiraki continued to add.

"It's the king." A young voice suddenly sounded, and the confident and high spirit could be heard from the sound.

Everyone present looked in the direction where the sound came out, and saw the person who came was wearing a navy blue suit, a red bow tie, and a black mask on his face.

"Kudo Shinichi???" Officer Meguri was shocked.

Ran Maori was stunned by the sudden appearance of Kudo Shinichi, and just stared at him blankly. Conan next to him looked shocked, he was here, who was the "Kudo Shinichi" in front of him?

"Shini..." Ran Mouri murmured.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, Lan."

"Go, it's this guy again." Kogoro Mouri became more and more upset when he looked at his daughter.

"Who is this big brother?" Kojima Tsuta and Tsunya Mitsuhiko murmured.

"It looks a bit familiar." Yoshida Ayumi put her finger on the corner of her mouth, raised her head slightly, and said in confusion.

"Brother Kudo, what do you mean by the king just now?" Officer Meguri asked.

"It's playing cards." Kudo Shinichi said, taking out a deck of playing cards from his pocket and calmly drawing out the spades K inside. "The spades K among the playing cards, that is, the king."

Conan, who was on the other side, suddenly realized that no wonder he felt very familiar with the Western sword made of corrugated paper just now. It turned out to be a pattern on the playing cards.

"Hao, what are you talking nonsense there? A high school student doesn't go to school well and runs around all day long. Suddenly, he says something unreasonable." Kogoro Mouri glanced at 'Kudo Shinichi'.

"The Western sword made of corrugated paper held by Officer Shiraki is the sword held by the king in the pattern on the K of spades in the playing cards. You can compare it to see if it is consistent." Shinichi Kudo handed the K of spades to several people to check.

Conan supported his chin with his hands and stared at the every move of the "Kudo Shinichi" in front of him with a serious expression.

"It's really the same!" Officer Shirago and Officer Meguri sighed in unison.

"What's the use of knowing this? It's just a coincidence. The prisoner might just commit a random crime. Officer Meguri was just unlucky and was selected." Kogoro Mouri pretended to be disdainful, and he got angry when he saw this brat who was greedy for his daughter.

‘Kudo Shinichi’ ignored the angry Kogoro Mori and continued, “Before I entered the door, I saw the door sign at the door of the ward with Meguro Thirteen.” Speaking of this, ‘Kudo Shinichi’ looked at Officer Meguro, “Is this your name, Officer Meguro?”

"Uh...well, that's right." Officer Megu replied in a daze. He didn't understand what it had to do with his name.

"King, K, is Thirteen! That's the name of Officer Megumi!" Although Shinichi Kudo wore a mask on his face, his eyes exposed could make people feel that kind of high spirit. "In addition, the four K colors in the playing cards have different patterns, and the Western sword left by the prisoner is exactly on the K of spades!"

Ran Mouri's eyes have been stuck on him since the appearance of "Kudo Shinichi". That's right, this is Shinichi, the feeling of confidence and sharpness when solving cases, will not be wrong.

Last time I mistakenly regarded Kuroha Kuroha Kuroshi as Shinichi in Shibuya, but this time I would definitely not be wrong.

"What's wrong with K of Spades? Is it different from other Ks?" Kojima Yuanta touched his head and said in confusion.

"The four colors of playing cards have different meanings in different countries. In Japan, the main belief is that the red peaches represent love, the squares represent money, the plum blossoms represent happiness, and the spades represent death." Tsunya Mitsuhiko explained.

"That's right, so although the possibility of random crimes being committed by a prisoner cannot be completely ruled out, it is more important to give priority to this. The prisoner chooses targets to commit the crime in a targeted manner. Western Sword, Spade K, Meguri Thirteen, no matter what, it is too coincidental, right?" Kudo Shinichi continued.

"It's true, it's too coincidental. It's a possibility that the crime will be committed with a purpose is even greater." Police Officer Shiragou pondered.

"Yeah..." Officer Memu was silent for a moment. Who was targeting him?

Conan feels that although the reasoning of "Kudo Shinichi" is not completely certain, it is indeed the most likely one at present, but there are still too few clues...

"It's a coincidence," said 'Kudo Shinichi' again.

"What?" Officer Meguru looked up at his brother Kudo.

"Mei Thirteen Police Department, Uncle Kogoro Mori, Shinchi Kudo." "Kudo Shinchi" used his fingers to click several people in order. "Thirteen, Five, and One are all in the playing cards."

"It's just a coincidence." Kogoro Mouri said impatiently.

"Not necessarily, Shirato Ren Saburo, San." Shirato Police Officer pointed at himself.

"There are nine people here, and there are only five people left after four children, four of which are numbers in the playing cards. In particular, these four people are also criminal investigation personnel." Kudo Shinichi added.

Kojima Tsubata complained to his friends with dissatisfaction: "Why are we excluded? What kind of persons are our teenage detective teams? "

"It's a criminal investigation related personnel." Tsunya Mitsuhiko said for him, "That's to say, I still look down on us children."

Conan looked helpless and thought, don't make trouble. But I, Shinichi Kudo, is indeed not wrong here. The names of the four people also contain numbers, and you can find the corresponding cards in the playing cards, but this is just a coincidence? This kind of guess is just a simple association, right? There is no logic.

Conan could see clearly, but Officer Meguri, Officer Shirato, and even Kogoro Mori who was in a bad mood when he saw Shinichi Kudo was already nodding conviction.

Seeing the three remaining adults at the scene convinced so easily, Conan felt very tired.

"Are there anything else to discover? Brother Kudo?" Officer Meguru looked at 'Kudo Shinichi' expectantly.

"Since we are all related to criminal investigation, please think about it carefully. Who has enough motivation to attack a working police department? Is there anyone involved in the case that Officer Meguri has participated in and has enough motivation to do this case."

A silence.

"Poker cards... cards... hate police... Could it be... Murakami?" Officer Meguri said in a deep voice.

Kogoro Mouri's face became extremely serious when he heard the name.

"Who is that?" asked Officer Shiraki.

"He is a dealer who specializes in gambling cards. He was imprisoned for killing ten years ago, and he was released after being sentenced a week ago."
