Vol 20 Chapter 288: Murdered councillor

The sudden gunshots were beyond everyone's imagination and their ability to react. The tall man slowly turned his head and saw the scene in front of him, his face suddenly turned pale.

Masao Takada clutched his chest, blood flowing from his fingertips, he had obviously been shot, and the bullet that grabbed Seiji Ishimoto's shoulder hit his heart.

"Brother Xincang..."

This was the last sentence of Takada Masao's life, and then he slowly fell under the spotlight.

The lights in the hall turned on, "Ah!" The woman's sharp hiss broke the silence in the hall. For a moment, the hall was in a mess, and the crowd dropped the butterfly bowls and cups in their hands and ran towards the gate.

There were hysterical screams and chaotic footsteps everywhere, and the tables, chairs, and food in the hall were knocked to the ground by the frightened crowd.

The tall man squatted in front of Takada Masao, and kept calling.

Xie Chen raised his head and looked at the lighting platform above the chair. A man was hurriedly leaving from there.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xie Chen ran between the stairs of the hall and came to the top of the stairs. He saw that the door of the control room was open and the corridor was full of panicked people, and the person could not be found.

Ten minutes later, Officer Mumu led a team to the scene, quickly sealed off the hotel, and began investigating and collecting evidence.

The tall man called on the side: "The speaker is shot and killed by someone here, please help me contact the support club immediately."

He hung up the phone and made another call. During this call, he lowered his voice: "Hey, I'm Ni Cang Chang Zhang..."

On the other side, Kogoro Mouri handed the threatening letter to Officer Megumi.

"You said President Ishimoto didn't know who was intimidated by someone and wanted to take his life in the near future?" Officer Megome asked.

"Yes." Kogoro Mouri said, "So I accepted his commission."

Officer Megure said, "So, this is because the bullet aimed at Mr. Ishimoto was not shot correctly, so it happened to hit Representative Takada who passed by him?"

Kogoro Mouri said, "Yes, it is true."

Officer Mumu touched his chin and said, "There were so many guests at the scene, there may be witnesses."

He asked Shige Takagi: "Brother Takagi, where are the guests present at the time?"

Takagi Shibuya said: "I just told them to concentrate in the next room.

Xie Chen walked into the hall from the outside at this time, and just wanted to check the body of Takada Masao, but was stopped by Mao Lilan.

"Xie Chen, how can you run around casually."

Xie Chen scratched his head and smiled: "I was too nervous, so I went to the toilet..."

Kogoro Mouri and Officer Megime passed by him. He turned his head and said, "I saw a suspicious person just now."

"What?" Mouri Kogoro stopped.

Xie Chen said: "The man had been standing against that wall at the beginning, but after the gunshot just now, he ran to the lighting control room above."

"Really." Kogoro Mouri raised his head and looked at the lighting control room. "If it's in that place, it would be easier to target Mr. Ishimoto among the many guests. What kind of person is he."

Xie Chen smiled. He was prepared and took out the photo: "It's him."

Maori Kogoro looked at the photo, and the man behind Mao Lilan and Xie Chen said bitterly: "It's really not kind to look good."

Officer Megome noticed that Kogoro Mouri had not followed him, so he turned around and called him: "What are you doing, Brother Mouri, go away."

"Detective Megumi!" Kogoro Mouri took the photo and said loudly, "Here is a picture of a gangster."

"What? Really?" Officer Mumu asked in surprise.

"Yes, the murderer must be this person."

Xie Chen walked to Takada Masao's body. At this time, the body was covered by a white cloth, and Takagi was investigating.

"Xie Chen, don't touch it randomly."

Xie Chen pointed to the silver-white fragments scattered underground and asked: "Officer Gaomu, what is this?"

Takagi Shibuya said: "That is a fragment, the small microphone that Representative Takada wore on his body at the time."

Xie Chen asked, "Did the bullet hit the microphone?"

Takagi Shibuya said: "I think it should be like this."

Mao Lilan came over and pulled Xie Chen up: "I'm sorry, Officer Takagi, he came here as soon as I didn't pay attention."

Afterwards, Mao Lilan led Xie Chen to the outside of the hall, and the two sat down on the sofa outside the hall.

While waiting, Xie Chen saw Sachiko Tanaka walking out, so he told Mao Lilan that he was going to the bathroom, and quietly followed.

At the entrance of the hotel, Sachiko Tanaka was talking to a man with pigtails. Xie Chen was too far away to hear what they were talking about. However, Yukoko Tanaka looked very nervous, but the man with pigtails appeared to be very nervous. Very cold.

After talking for about two minutes, the man with pigtail waved his hand and left the hotel. Sachiko Tanaka sighed and returned to the lobby.

Xie Chen frowned slightly. Although the shot just now did not kill President Ishimoto, she was still threatened, but she avoided everyone to meet this man. There must be a problem.

When returning to the hall, two police officers were carrying Takata Masao's body out on a stretcher, and Niikura Tosho followed behind.

Seiji Ishimoto's shoulder is also bandaged. He is now saying to Kogoro Mouri: "Mr. Mouri, now that I have finished asking the confession, can I go back?"

"President Ishimoto." Kogoro Mouri persuaded: "Although your injury is not serious this time, but the murderer wanted your life, you should go to the police hospital."

Seiji Ishimoto shook his head, and Sachiko Tanaka came over and said, "The president will not go to the police hospital."

"what?"

"Our president has a hospital he is accustomed to, and whether or not to accept the protection of the police is the freedom of our president."

"That's right..." Mouri Kogoro said, "In this case, there must be someone to protect Mr. Ishimoto."

Sachiko Tanaka said, "That's you, Mr. Mori, I beg you for all rights."

Mouri Kogoro patted his chest and promised: "In this case, I will promise you. Starting today, I will guard the president."

Sachiko Tanaka nodded: "Then the president, let's go to the hospital."..
