Chapter 0251 - Broken Tires at the Same Time
Saturday, September 28, a mountain villa on the outskirts of Rice Flower Town.
At night, Miss Lihua took Aunt Mi upstairs to change her clothes, and Mr. Nikaido, Mr. Gojo, and Mr. Rokuta, as well as Ran with Conan, played poker. Lan put Conan on his lap, the two of them were only one person, Conan was a little embarrassed, but seeing that Yamazaki didn't say anything, he let go. Mr. Mifune sat next to him and watched, Mori sat in the corner and snoozed at the table, Yamazaki sat next to Mori, and Mr. Kazueda poured drinks for everyone.
The people who listened to the cards talked about it, they turned out to be members of the yacht and yacht club, and they had an accident two years ago, and then they never went to sea again, and they agreed not to mention the accident again. Yamazaki touched his chin, is this incident an accident today? The tires of the six famous cars burst at the same time, and it happened to be the car of the six of them, and the car of so many guests in the parking lot was the car of the six of them, and these six people had an accident that they had agreed not to mention again, is it a coincidence? Or did someone do it on purpose, this person was familiar with these six people, so he was able to accurately identify their car, and he also figured out Miss Lihua's temperament, knowing that she would stay, and then these five people would also stay, no, it was to pursue Miss Lihua's Ichieda, Nikaido, and Gojo San, who would definitely stay. So, what did he leave these people for?
At this time, Mr. Rokuta found that Aunt Mi came alone, so he asked, "Where's Miss?"
"The young lady bathed in her room. Aunt Mi said, "I'll come down and take a look." ”
Mr. Yizhi came in with a drink and said with a smile: "Aunt Mi, go and rest, we can come here by ourselves." ”
More than half an hour later, Aunt Mi came over and asked nervously, "Have you seen Miss?"
"Miss hasn't been here. Mr. Rokuta was taken aback, and then said, "Guys, I think we'll split up and look for it. ”
Mr. Ichieda and the four of them immediately responded, and Maori, who had sobered up, also said, "I'm here to help, too." ”
Ten minutes later, everyone met again in the living room, and Miss Lihua was not found anywhere in the villa.
Mr. Kazueda asked rhetorically, "Could it be that she would go to this forest by herself and get lost in it?"
Maori said, "Well, let's go our separate ways and go into the woods to find out." ”
Mr. Mifune said, "Really, this eldest lady is really going to make trouble. ”
Yamazaki walked out of the villa not far away, and turned back to the villa, it was too dark outside, a pampered eldest lady, under what circumstances would she go to the woods alone at night? Now she is the master, no one forced her, and now she can't be found, which means that something has happened to her. If it was someone outside, it would have taken her away, and it was too late to chase her. If......
Ten minutes later, Yamazaki came out of the villa and saw two people by the fountain in the courtyard, one was lying on the edge of the pool and couldn't see clearly, and the other was standing next to him, looking like Mr. Ikeda. Yamazaki asked, "Mr. Ichise-eda, what's wrong?" and ran over.
"Nikaido, he somehow got into the water. Mr. Ichieda helped Mr. Nikaido to his feet and shouted loudly as he shook it, "Nikaido, wake up, hey ......"
At this time, Maori, Ran, and Conan came out of the woods, and Maori asked, "What happened?"
"When I came, I saw Nikaido lying on the edge of the pool, and then I found his head dipped in water, so I pulled him out. Mr. Kazueda said.
Maori was taken aback, stepped forward for a moment, and said with a sigh of relief: "There is still a heartbeat." Then he said, "Lan, go call an ambulance." ”
"Okay. Lan said and went.
Mr. Mifune, Mr. Gojo, Mr. Rokuta, and Aunt Mi also arrived one after another. Let Mr. Rokuda help Mr. Nikaido, and Mori checks on Mr. Nikaido and finds that he has no problem breathing, but he just can't wake up.
Pointing to the back of Mr. Nikaido's head, Conan said, "He seems to have been knocked unconscious." ”
"In this way, the murderer knocked Mr. Nikaido unconscious, stuck his head in the pool and left, trying to let Mr. Nikaido drown in the water. "But Mr. Ikie, who had just come back, saved him." ”
Mr. Rokuta asked, "So, the murderer was still here just now?"
Mr. Ichieda said angrily, "It's too much, who did this kind of thing." ”
"Isn't there just such a person?" said Mr. Mifune, "the most suspicious person among us, Miss Reika, whose whereabouts are unknown now. ”
"Impossible," said Mr. Gojo, "how could Miss Reika do such a thing." ”
"I don't know about this yet, and it's likely that she was killed. "All in all, let's call the police first, and then wait for the police to come." ”
"Oh no, Dad. Lan ran over and said, "The phone can't get through, the phone line seems to be broken." ”
"What!" Maori was taken aback.
Mr. Kazueda said, "Then use my mobile phone." ”
"There is no signal in this place. Mr. Rokuta said.
Mr. Mifune said, "Well, now the only way to do this is to use the detective's car, take Nikaido to the hospital, and call the police by the way." ”
"No problem. Mori said and gave the key to Mr. Mifune, and Mr. Rokuta helped Mr. Nikaido up and slowly walked towards the parking lot.
Walking at the back, Conan asked in a low voice, "Yamazaki, did you find anything?"
Yamazaki whispered, "This is done by insiders." ”
"Insiders?" Conan said after a moment's thought, "the only people who can keep them are people who are familiar with them, and indeed insiders." So, you went to Miss Lihua again, where is she? The cupboard in the room is still, wait, it can't be the utility room downstairs, right?"
Yamazaki asked, "Why did you think of being there?"
Conan said: "When I went to the bathroom, I found that all the lights on the side of the first floor were broken, and now there are candles, and Aunt Mi said that the light bulb was changed yesterday, in order to be afraid that the old light bulb would have problems today, and then asked me to go to the other side." In this way, the side where no one goes is the best place for Tibetans. ”
"It was in the bathroom behind the washroom, tied to the bath. Yamazaki laughed, "Now, the water is over the top of my head." ”
"What!" Conan was taken aback, turned and wanted to go back to the villa.
Grabbing Conan, Yamazaki smiled: "Don't worry, I inserted two tubes in her nose to ensure that she can't die." With that, he let Conan go again.
"......" Conan was speechless.
At this time, Mr. Mifune, who was in front of him, said loudly, "Detective Maori, the tire of your car is also broken." ”
"What!" cried Maori in heartache.
Mr. Rokuta said, "In other words, we are completely trapped here by someone right now. ”
"There are still ways," Yamazaki said with a smile, "There are a total of twenty-eight tires in seven cars, seven of which are broken, and twenty-one of them are broken, although the models are different, but if you put together a group and can barely drive down the mountain, it should still be possible." As long as you can drive, you don't want to go racing. ”
Mr. Kazueda said, "It's too dangerous. ”
Mr. Mifune said, "You have to try the danger, and Nikaido has to be sent to the hospital." ”
"Then let's go back to the villa," said Mr. Rokuta, and then asked, "Aunt Mi, the tools are still in the utility room, right?"
"Yes, I haven't touched it. Aunt Mi said.
Back at the villa, settle Mr. Nikaido, and ask Aunt Mi to watch him, Mr. Rokuta took Mr. Kazueda, Mr. Mifune, and Mr. Gojo to the utility room to get tools to change tires. Maori originally wanted to go, but was stopped by Yamazaki, saying that he had asked for help with something and asked him to wait a while before going.
When they were gone, Yamazaki took Mori to the bathroom, and by the dim candlelight, Mori was shocked to see Miss Reika lying in the bathtub with duct bandage, and the water had already overflowed her mouth and nose, and then he was relieved to find two exposed tubes connected to her nostrils, and the lower ends were still taped to prevent water leakage.
"I remember that it was Mr. Kazueda who was checking the bathroom, how could he not have seen it, was it too dark?" said Mori as he tried to help Miss Reihua out of her sleep.
Stopping Maori, Yamazaki said, "Uncle, what if the prisoner is him?"
"What?" Maori was taken aback.
"Uncle, it's a coincidence that their car broke down among so many guests," said Conan. ”
"If you say that, it's really an insider's doing. Mori thought for a moment and said, then said in surprise, "If that's the case, he was seen by Yamazaki before he could leave after he threw Mr. Nikaido into the pool just now, so he pretended to be saving Mr. Nikaido." ”
"It should be," Yamazaki said, "I wanted to see what he did, but then I was afraid that I wouldn't have time to rescue Mr. Nikaido, so I spoke up." ”
Maori asked, "What proof do you have for that?"
"Not now," Yamazaki laughed, "but I'll be there in a moment." ”
Conan laughed, "He'll be here, the shower head with the water is still in the bathtub." ”
"That's right," Maori said with a smile, "if you don't show it, you'll know the modus operandi." And when Miss Lihua disappeared, he was the only one in and out of the living room, and all of us were in the living room, and it was impossible for Aunt Mi to carry Miss Lihua, so he was the only one. Then he commanded, "By the way, Lan, go and blow out the candles in the bathroom outside." As he spoke, he blew out the candles in the bathroom.
Yamazaki smiled: "Uncle is really powerful, in this way, other people will definitely not come, anyway, there is more than one bathroom in the villa." ”
"Only the prisoners will come. Conan laughed, "Uncle is really a detective." ”
"Of course. Maori laughed.
Soon after, Mr. Kazueda came in with a lighter and was shocked to see the four Mori standing in the corner of the bathroom, and the lighter fell to the ground and went out.
"Smack!" Maori squeezed his lighter, "Mr. Ichiseda, do you have anything you want to say?" With that, he put the candle back on.
"Okay. Lan finished saying and went.
Mr. Ichieda asked in horror, "Y-Why are you here?"
"If the prisoner is among you, how can he believe what you say and do?" asked Yamazaki rhetorically.
Mr. Ichieda was silent.
Soon after, Ran, Mr. Mifune, Mr. Gojo, Mr. Rokuta, and Aunt Mi came over.
Seeing Miss Lihua in the water, Mr. Liuda and the others were taken aback, and Mr. Liuda hurriedly helped Miss Lihua out.
Mr. Mifune asked, "Detective Maori, what's going on?" and then asked in surprise, "Kazueda, is that you?"
"The person who broke the car and left us here, the person who attacked Miss Reika and Mr. Nikaido, is Mr. Kazueda. "Because of the broken light bulb, this bathroom is no longer in use, let alone this bathroom, and Mr. Kazueda will come here alone is the best proof of this." ”
Mr. Gojo asked, "Ichizae, is it really you?"
Mr. Mifune asked, "Kazue, what are you for?"
Mr. Rokuta confirmed that Miss Lihua was okay and handed her over to Aunt Mi to take care of, and then asked, "Yizhi, is it for the incident two years ago?"
Conan asked, "That accident two years ago?"
"Actually, it was an unfortunate tragedy," Mr. Rokuta said, "and one day two years ago, we went to sea, but we didn't know that there would be a typhoon that day." After our group dropped anchor on the edge of a small island, we scattered to the island to play, not knowing that a storm was coming. When the storm came, most of the people ran back to the yacht for refuge, except for Nikaido, who went fishing in a small boat, and Miss Reika, who was left alone on the island, did not return. When we found out that the sea was going to flood the island, one of us went in a rubber boat to rescue Miss Lihua. However, half a day later, we found Miss Reika and Nikaido sitting on the rubber boat, floating on the sea waiting for rescue, but the companion who took the rubber boat to save them was nowhere to be found. ”
"Can't find it?" Lan asked, surprised.
"Yes, a year has already been recognized as death. Aunt Mi said, "She is my granddaughter Yaeko, she sacrificed her life to save the eldest lady, I think this is her hope." ”
"No, it's not like that," Mr. Ikeda said excitedly, "it was them, they snatched Yaeko's life jacket, and Yaeko would have died." ”
"What?" Mifune asked, surprised.
Mr. Gojo asked rhetorically, "Impossible, right?"
Mr. Rokuta asked, "Kazueda, what you said is true?"
"Of course, I thought about it every day, every night, and one day I remembered that Nikaido didn't wear a life jacket that day, and that day, when Yaeko rowed a rubber boat to save Miss Reika who was stranded on the island, she was wearing a life jacket herself, and at the same time she only brought a life jacket for Miss Reika," said Mr. Ichieda, "that is, there were only two life jackets." ”
Mr. Gojo asked, "Maybe Nikaido is wearing a life jacket?"
"No way, if that's the case, then there will be one less life jacket on the yacht. "But I secretly counted them, and there were quite a few life jackets inside, and none of them were particularly new." ”
"No, it won't. Landa was taken aback.
Mori said, "So in order to avenge Yaeko, you want to kill Mr. Nikaido and Miss Reika, and you want to drown them, so that they and Yaeko die in the same way of death." ”
"Yes, they killed my beloved Yaeko. "They are innocent of death, and I will kill them all." ”
Aunt Mi shouted, "Don't talk nonsense. Then looking at Miss Lihua, who was unconscious, Aunt Mi said calmly, "There is no one in this world who deserves to die, I don't say that I have forgiven the mistakes that the eldest lady made before, but no matter who dies, someone will definitely be sad." Now it's okay for me to suffer such a sin alone, as long as I'm a good one. ”
"By the way," Yamazaki asked, "is the car ready? ”
"Alright," said Mr. Rokuta, "Detective Maori, you are here to watch Ikeda while Mifune and I take Nikaido and Miss Reika to the hospital. ”
"No problem, just leave it to me. Maori laughed. ……
