Chapter 127: Killer vs Detective

After the incident, the police spent another day, a night and an afternoon without finding any trace of Mr. Xiuchen, until the afternoon of the same day, everyone who had been tired for two days, including the police, wanted to give up.

"Now, Kaoru, you can help find it, you've been sleeping in your room since this morning. After eating at noon, he walked around the whole villa, and in the afternoon he sat in the courtyard and basked in the sun, and I said, "Can't you help us find it?" Conan looked at me with a leisurely look and said to me with disdain.

"Zizizi...... Call. I sipped on the drink in my cup and said leisurely. "Detective, you must know that this kind of thing should be the job of the police, as an ordinary elementary school student, if I run around everywhere, it will only cause trouble for the black detectives over there, so it is better to sit here honestly. ”

"Hey, who do you mean is a black detective!" Hattori yelled at me as he turned around from his search. "Hey. Do detectives like to sit in the right seats? I didn't name them, what are you excited about? If you think black detectives are too hard to remember, then it's better to abbreviate them as black charcoal. Well, I heard that there was a case-solving expert in ancient China known as 'Bao Qingtian' who was also dark-skinned, and his friends jokingly called him 'Bao Hei Tan'. Although I don't know how your ability to solve crimes compares to others, your skin color is definitely a fight. I sneered.

"You, stinky boy, don't be afraid of you because you're a killer! Believe it or not, I'm ......"

"Kaoru! Hattori, you two should stop me in moderation!" Conan couldn't help but get angry when he heard our quarrel. "What time is it, you two are still in the mood to quarrel here!" Conan's glaring glare made Hattori obediently shut his mouth. Of course, I completely ignored such roars.

"That's why last time I was on the Sallybeth, I said the police were of no use at all. Not even a single big living person could be found in such a large room. ”

"Hmph, if you have the ability, you can find it for me. In the face of my words, Hattori immediately jumped out and confronted me.

"I said you two can't stop arguing?" Conan was speechless. "Kaoru, you must have something to do, right?"

"Huh...... I really don't know where your detectives' strengths are. is so obsessed with solving the case, but always struggling to find clues. I frowned. "Have you ever heard of the sound of hearing? ”

"Auditory? what is that?" Conan was puzzled, and even Hattori on the side moved his ears to listen to me.

"You should know that blind people after losing their vision. In order to continue living, their bodies automatically strengthen the other four senses. I shrugged. "The so-called auditory technique is to further strengthen one's sense of hearing without reducing the other four senses. When the auditory technique reaches a certain level, even the heartbeat can be heard. Of course, this must also be in a good external environment. If it's too noisy, it's ineffective. ”

"Hey...... That's right. But what does that have to do with finding prisoners?"

"Well, it's a coincidence that I'm the one who can hear the heartbeat, so at noon today, while everyone was eating and resting, I spent some time inspecting the entire villa. I didn't hear anyone's heartbeat except for the people present and the police, in other words, that Mr. Hidetomi was not in this villa at all. ”

"What?!" Conan was also shocked when he heard my words.

"Hmph, don't be alarmist, the results of the investigation on the surveillance video show that no one has walked out of this villa at all. If Mr. Hidetomi wasn't in the villa, would he still be able to grow wings and fly?" Hattori sneered coldly.

"Be sensible, Black Tan-kun. I'm not done yet. I said contemptuously.

"Who do you say is Black Tan!" Hattori was annoyed again.

"That's why I just said that. So many police officers can't even find a big living person. "In the face of Hattori's anger, I didn't care about it this time. Rather, he narrated on his own.

"What do you mean...... Mr. Hidetomi might be dead?" Conan thought, dragging his chin in thought.

"Ah, although it is just speculation, but Mr. Hidetomi has disappeared for two days, and if he really didn't get out of this villa, he didn't eat or drink for more than forty hours in a row, and he didn't even go to the bathroom. Only the dead have the power, right?" I shrugged. "It's not easy to hide a living person, it's easy to hide a dead person. For example, the cold cellar under the villa, the incinerator behind the villa, the pool in front of the villa, and even the newly turned land under it. ”

"Definitely. It's a possibility, Hattori, let's go and report this to the Twilight Police......"

Syllable!

Before Conan could finish his sentence, a loud slap reached our ears. On the edge of the pool, Nobuko Nagato slapped Miss Hinata in the face, looking at the angry look on Nobuko's face, probably what Hinata said to Nobuko. And it was this slap that the very important pen in Hinata's hand flew out and fell into the pool. Seeing the pen fall into the water, Miss Hinata also panicked, and hurriedly jumped into the pool, hoping to fish out the pen that was very important to her, but was dissuaded by Xiaolan. Seeing this situation, Officer Twilight also immediately asked the housekeeper to empty the water in the pool, looking at the swirling water whirlpool, everyone's eyes were also fixed on this place.

"Whew...... This pool is really deep. Watching the water level drop little by little, Conan couldn't help but complain. "Sure enough, if you hide something here. Others really can't find it. ”

"Conan, your crow's beak is starting to improve. I said indifferently.

"Huh?"

"Look at the middle of the pool. Raising his chin towards the center, I stopped talking, and Conan, who was pointing at me, opened his mouth wider and wider, and his pupils suddenly contracted. In addition to the pen and the rotting leaves that had been covered with burn marks, there was also the corpse of Mr. Hidetomi who was sunk at the bottom of the water, motionless.

"I'll leave it to you later. I shook Conan lightly in a voice that could only be heard twice. Then I walked towards the seat where I had just basked in the sun.

――――The smell of orchids, the taste of lavender, the taste of home > the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians――――

"The deceased's death is estimated to have been a day-and-a-half to two-day since now. And the time when Mr. Guangming was pushed off the balcony was forty-four hours ago, and if Mr. Xiuchen committed suicide by throwing himself into the pool before our police arrived, then a qiē would be consistent with the facts. After a forensic examination, Officer Twilight finally came to a conclusion about Mr. Hidetomi's death.

"But. The cause of death was not drowning, but poisoning. The corpse's clothes contained a large number of stones, which I suspect committed suicide by poisoning and then threw themselves into the water. The medical examiner briefly recounted to Officer Twilight. "Of course, more precise results will not be available until they are identified. ”

"Conan, what do you think about this. Looking at Hidetomi lying on the ground, I asked Conan softly.

"Hmm, it's rare for you to ask me. Interested in this case?"

"No, I'm just a little tired. I want to solve this matter quickly. I rubbed my blonde hair, a little tired.

"Eh, so you have a clue?" Conan's eyes lit up.

"Looking at all the clues now, I do have a clue. And it's already possible to lock up the prisoners. But the motive is unclear and there is no evidence. I frowned. "Maybe when that identification comes out, there will be eyebrows. ”

"The results of the appraisal have come out. As soon as I put my words down, Officer Takagi cooperated and ran over with the appraisal report. "According to the identification, the wound on Mr. Bright's arm matched the shape of the knife, and the blood was determined to be that of Mr. Bright, but strangely enough, Mr. Bright's hair was found on the bandages and hat found near the corpse, and a kite string about a meter long was found in his pocket. Takagi said.

"That's right...... I see!" After listening to Takagi's report, most of the doubts in my mind were instantly solved. "But why. Why did she do this? I muttered to myself.

"Hey, Kaoru. What did you think of?" Conan asked me hurriedly as he looked at me awkwardly.

"Don't speak. I stretched out my hand to interrupt Conan's inquiry, "Let me think again, why." Why something is wrong with the timing. ”

"The police department, this paper was found in the pocket of the deceased. Just as I was full of questions, the forensic officer took a piece of paper from Hidetoon's pocket. When Officer Twilight opens it, he discovers that it is a suicide note.

[I am not qualified to marry you at all, and in order to make up for the sins I have committed against you, I am willing to choose to die. The moment I finished reading the suicide note, I clearly felt Hinata's heartbeat instantly accelerate. After Officer Twilight handed the suicide note to Miss Hinata for confirmation. Miss Hinata also left the place on the pretext of going to Hidetomi's room to check.

"Miss Hinata, your pen ......" Xiaolan tried to return the pen she had just salvaged to Hinata, but was stopped by Hattori.

"I'll give her the pen later, and don't bother with her now. As he spoke, Hattori took the pen.

"Why ......" Hattori was behind him, ignoring the current situation, and I once again muttered to myself. "Why did she do that, why did he lie?"

"Kaoru, are you alright?" Conan asked hurriedly when he saw that there was something wrong with my expression.

"Ah, there are some things that I still haven't figured out. I frowned. "Hattori, give me the pen. ”

"Oh. Hattori was slightly stunned, then handed me the pen. I took the pen and pulled out the cap, and a rusty, charred, and sharply split tip fell into my eyes.

"It's ......," Conan and Hattori came over as well. They looked at each other, and then both of them showed the same expressions.

"Alas......" sighed softly, and I took my pen and walked towards the villa.

"Kaoru, where are you going?" asked Conan, confused

"Go and return the pen to Miss Hinata. I replied softly.

"But why don't you share the clues with us......" Before Conan could finish his sentence, I reached out again to interrupt him, and at the same time took out my phone and pressed it a few times randomly, and soon, the phone in Conan's pocket vibrate.

"The email I just sent you clearly contains information about the Nagato family, so you'll understand it if you read it once. I looked at Conan with a blank face. "The modus operandi was to use the rope hook and the weight tied to the bottom. The key to solving the case is that Mr. Bright has Mr. Bright hair in the bandage and hat. I won't teach you the parabola and centripetal force principles in high school. Although there is no evidence yet, but you can find it yourself, I'm tired. Remember to delete the information after reading. ”

Looking at my back, Conan and Hattori were also solemn in their eyes, and when they opened their phones, they saw all the things that had happened to the Nagato family from the beginning of its business to today.

"Hey, Kudo. Hattori was shocked by the message on his phone. Because if this information is reported to the company that is against the Nagato family, it is estimated that the Nagato family will be eaten up within a week. After all, many things are the confidential core of the project managed by President Nagato. Of course, Conan and Hattori don't do that. So I can also rest assured that I will hand over all the information to them, as for the purpose of my doing this, it is naturally to tell Conan about the family affairs of the Nagato family, history, etc., including the fire twenty years ago and the affairs of Hidetomi and Akira.

“...... This bastard. A look of helplessness hung up at the corners of Conan's mouth. "What he said has nothing to do with him, obviously he has been investigating the cause of the whole incident from the beginning. ”

"Hey, Kudo, that kid ......" Hattori's eyes showed a strange look.

"Ah, although I don't know when he became interested in this incident, but the information on his phone, the hint of the number of shouts when Mr. Guangming was killed, spent several hours in the villa looking for Mr. Xiuchen's traces. There is also insight into clues, analysis of modus operandi, and thinking about the motive of the crime. That bastard, don't look like he's not in business, but the truth is that he's ahead of us every step of the way. ”

"Then why didn't he tell us sooner!" Hattori said angrily.

"Because of the worldview. Conan rubbed his forehead with a hint of sorrow. "His worldview is different from ours, and what he sees and hears is something that we don't know about the world. In his eyes, the world is simply ...... Alas......" sighed, and Conan put away his phone. "Alright, Hattori, Kaoru has given us all the clues he knows, and it's up to us to see what happened to Mr. Hidetomi!

"Kudo ......" looked at Conan's figure, Hattori's heart didn't know what he was thinking, but the detective's confidence and arrogance in his eyes were instantly released, so Hattori no longer hesitated, stood up and followed Conan's footsteps. (To be continued......)
