It was late at night, and since Maori and the others could not leave the villa without permission until the case was clarified, they rested in the empty guest room under the arrangement of the housekeeper. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I'm going to be with Sister Xiaolan tonight, Sister Xiaolan will protect me! I'm so scared!" Xingchen opened his eyes wide and pulled Xiaolan's clothes, refusing to let go.

Xiaolan bent down and touched Xingchen's head, waved her fist and made a karate move, and said confidently: "Don't worry, no matter who the murderer is, Sister Xiaolan, I can beat him to the ground." ”

"No, I'm scared too! I'm going to sleep with Sister Xiaolan too!" Conan was worried that the two of them would live in a separate room, worried that Xiaolan would be deceived by the appearance of the stars.

"Conan, it's good for you to sleep with your second brother, you don't have a lot to talk about, and tonight's moonlight is a good opportunity to get to know each other better. Xingchen smiled slyly at Conan, and lowered his voice, "Don't you worry about me? I'm a child!

Conan was helpless, he knew that if he continued to entangle, maybe Xingchen would reveal his true identity.

Walking into the guest room obediently with Pingji, Conan's mind was full of Xiaolan's shadow in pajamas, and he complained to Pingji with a slight resentment: "Why did you and Xingchen come here for me?

Pingji lay down on the bed, put his hands behind his head, put his hands behind his head, and said in a comfortable posture: "Actually, the chairman said that he heard a strange sound last night. Although he had taken sleeping pills before going to bed, the older people did not sleep very well, and when the chairman woke up at two or three o'clock in the morning, he faintly heard the sound of someone running in the corridor, and there were several strange sounds of something hitting each other. ”

"Do you mean?" Conan thought of the murder that had happened before.

"Yes, it should be someone's preparation for this murder in advance. Originally, my father and I thought that a thief had come to step on the spot or someone was pretending to be a ghost, so we brought you and Xingchen here, and we thought that something strange would happen again tonight, but we didn't expect someone to be killed. There was a slight remorse in Heiji's tone, but he was also glad that his father had returned to Osaka, and if the murderer killed in front of his father, it would always have a little impact on his father's reputation anyway.

What makes Hattori strange is that thanks to Conan, Kogoro Mori is now a famous detective, but the murderer still boldly kills Mr. Bright according to the plan.

Unless the killer is quite confident in his plan, or there is some reason why the murderer has to do it.

And what makes people care is what the murderer left next to the corpse, except for the murder knife, the murderer desperately tried to escape, and even took the leisure to remove the bandages and hat on his head.

It seems that the mysteries can only be solved when Hidetomi is found.

At two o'clock in the morning that night, Conan, who was sleeping in a daze, was awakened by a ringtone on his mobile phone, and the caller ID of the mobile phone indicated that Shi Xingchen dialed, and pressed the answer button to call the voice of Xingchen from the phone.

"Conan, do you know where I am? I'm in your room downstairs, and Sister Xiaolan is right next to me!" Xingchen's voice was slightly provocative, followed by a rapid breath and moaning, "Ah, no, not there, ah......"

The voice on the phone stopped abruptly at the high/high tide, and just a few words made Conan lose his ability to think for a moment, and he didn't care about putting on his slippers, he jumped out of the warm quilt and went straight to the downstairs room as fast as he could.

Heiji, who was in the same room, was also woken up by Conan's movements, and hastily put on his slippers, and Heiji followed behind Conan, wanting to see what the stars were doing.

The two came to the downstairs room, Conan turned the doorknob impatiently, but the bedroom door was unexpectedly easily opened, only to see the stars in the room sitting on a chair, facing Conan at the door, with a malicious smile on his face.

Seeing that there was no Xiaolan in the room, Conan's hanging heart was slightly lowered, and then he angrily accused Xingchen: "There must be a limit to joking! What are you doing? Where is Xiaolan?"

In the face of Conan's menacing roar, Xingchen was not angry, he picked up a cup of steaming coffee milk and said leisurely: "Of course Sister Xiaolan is sleeping in the guest room, I am just doing a test, why are you so serious?"

"Since Xiaolan is still sleeping in the guest room, who lives in this room?" Heiji vaguely guessed that Xingchen's test was related to tonight's murder.

"This is Hidetomi's room, and I found a lot of interesting things. Xingchen pointed to the pile of books on the bookshelf and said, "Do you know what novels Xiuchen has written in his room for the past 20 years?"

Xingchen took out one of the books with the words "Murder of an Official" printed on the cover and said: "He writes all mystery novels! And he is a very good mystery novel! Not only is the modus operandi very cleverly designed, but the characters' hearts are portrayed in a dazzling way." The reason why the reputation of Xiuchen novelists has not been revealed is that the ending of these books is not blindly preaching the victory of justice in the traditional sense, so it is impossible for these books to pass the censorship of the publishing house, and they are so-called banned books. What a pity!

"What does that mean?" Conan asked, puzzled.

"Don't you understand? A person with a careful mind, even if he has a quirky personality and a twisted heart. But if he really wanted to kill, he would not have been discovered so easily. Xingchen seemed to appreciate Xiuchen very much, and he couldn't help but admire it in his words, "If the murderer is really Xiuchen, and he has to use tonight's modus operandi to commit the murder, anyone who has read these mystery novels can judge that he is absolutely capable of creating a perfect alibi for himself! ”

"Are you sure that Hidechen is not deliberately challenging the police in order to realize his distorted self-worth?" Conan retorted.

"Madness and calmness are not completely independent, and the madmen in the eyes of normal people also have a set of principles that they think are logical. Xiuchen has a noble background, and he will not give up the support of his family's huge financial resources for no reason. You must know that excellent modus operandi often require a huge amount of activity funds!" Xingchen took a sip of coffee milk and teased Conan: "If you have time, you can read some books on criminal psychology, which will be of unexpected help to solve crimes!"

"Ahem!" Conan coughed dryly and said, "We also judged that Xiuchen was not a murderer before, so what's the point of saying this?"

"Okay, that's the end of the gossip, and now the point of reasoning. Xingchen put away his cynical attitude and said solemnly: "Have you noticed the phone call of the victim Guangming? First of all, the purpose of Mr. Guangming's call to the chairman's room was only to report the trivial matter of not being able to find Xiuchen, and it didn't take half a minute to walk from the second floor to the third floor, so why didn't he tell everyone about it in person? ”

"That's why you tricked me into coming to this room in the middle of the night?" Conan said with gritted teeth.

"For the most realistic simulation of the case, a small sacrifice is inevitable, don't be angry! If you are serious, you will lose!" Anyway, it is not himself who sacrifices, and Xingchen is very satisfied with the result of playing Conan.

Without waiting for Conan to get mad, Xingchen continued: "By the way, I have learned from my father just now that Nobuko's alibi has been confirmed, and the person she called at the time of the crime was a successful businessman, and the specific name is inconvenient for me to disclose, there is some ambiguous relationship between the two of them, but the man already has a family and does not plan to divorce, so it is no wonder that Nobuko's condition has not been married at this age." ”

"While investigating the alibi of Nobuko, the police checked the call records of other people in the villa by the way, and the only suspicious thing is that Hidetoon's phone has been unanswered since the day before the crime. I also checked his email and chat logs, which proved that the last time Xiuchen logged in also matched the police investigation. My gut told me ......"

"Hidetomi has been killed!" Conan and Heiji said in unison.

"It is indeed very possible, I have asked my father to focus on finding people, and for this reason, the Metropolitan Police Department has specially transferred two professionally trained police dogs to assist, and I believe that there will be results soon. Xingchen took a sip of coffee milk and said confidently.

"It's too early to draw conclusions, let's wait until we find Xiuchen's body!" Conan yawned and was about to go back to the house to catch up on sleep, but asked uneasily, "Where is Xiaolan?"

Seeing Conan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Xingchen laughed and said: "Don't worry, there are so many excellent detective novels here, I am reluctant to go to sleep, and I am going to read all these books all night tonight." ”

This reassuring Conan was reassured, and then Xingchen muttered again: "What's more, I'm a single-minded man." ”

Conan was a little curious, because in his daily life, Xingchen's words always revealed that he already had a girl he liked, but none of the classmates had seen what that girl looked like. Conan even pretends to be inadvertently tricked into Officer Twilight's words in the name of Maori, but the answer he gets is that Twilight, as a father, doesn't know that Xingchen has a girlfriend.

……

Early the next morning, Hidetoon's body was found by the police under a pond in the garden.

This small pond was originally used by the chairman's wife to raise goldfish to pass the time in her spare time, but after the death of the lady, the pool was left untended and the water was full of filth.

At first, two police dogs were deployed around the pond and used their paws to dig tree holes. The police initially believed that Hidetoon's body was buried in the ground, and after digging for a while, it was fruitless.

Xingchen, who stayed up all night reading mystery novels, happened to go out into the garden to bask in the sun and breathe fresh air. Seeing that the police didn't find Xiuchen, he seemed to say casually: "It seems that the police dog is not very powerful, I heard that there were criminals who used the river to avoid the pursuit of the police dog." ”

Hearing this, Twilight's mind flashed, and he ordered his police officers to drain the pool water, and it turned out that a body with severe burns on the face was found at the bottom of the pool, and the housekeeper identified the body and confirmed that it was Xiuchen himself.

The professional forensic doctor on call at the scene immediately examined the body and determined that the time of death of the body was after Guangming's murder. And the cause of Hidechen's death was not drowning, he was poisoned by ** or something, and the reason why the body was not found floating on the surface of the pool was because the pockets of the deceased's clothes were stuffed with a lot of stones.

While cleaning the stones from Xiuchen's pocket, the police found a handwritten suicide note.

"To my beloved Ah Xing, I am not qualified to marry you, in order to make up for the sins I have committed, I have chosen the path of death. ”

Twilight put the suicide note into a transparent plastic bag, handed it to his police officer, and said, "Go to Hidetomi's room to find the handwriting written before, and let the expert check the notes!"

News of Hidetomitoon's body being found soon spread throughout the villa, and everyone gathered around the pool to see him off on his last journey.

Among them, Kang Jiang cried the saddest, she only died her husband yesterday, and today she received the news of her brother's death.

Originally, Xiuchen and Guangming were good buddies who talked about everything, but in the marriage of her sister Kangjiang, Xiuchen has always strongly opposed her union with Guangming, perhaps because he couldn't bear his cute sister being taken away by his friends, so Xiuchen would do such a stupid thing.

guessing the cause of his tragedy, Kang Jiang cried even more sadly. The eldest sister Nobuko, who was standing next to her, also had tears in her eyes, and she didn't know how to comfort her sister.

At this time, a police officer trotted up to Twilight, saluted and said, "Report to the officer, the news came from the forensic division just now, the fruit knife found at the scene of the murder is completely consistent with the wound on Nagato Akira's arm, and the blood stains splashed on the fruit knife and bandage are also owned by Koumi, and the bandage and hat next to the fruit knife have been identified by DNA and proved to be indeed Nagato Hideto." Also, we found a kite string about 1 cm long in the pocket of Akira Nagato's jacket. ”

"So is there a test of saliva on the back of the knife?Is it Xiuchen's saliva?" Because in the confession, everyone saw the picture of the bandage man biting the dagger, and Twilight asked this question.

"No traces of saliva were detected on the knife, and it seemed to have been erased. The police officer took the test report and answered truthfully.

If it is an ordinary homicide, the investigation will end there, and the case can be closed with the current chain of evidence. However, this case is very important, not only involving the noble son of the Nagato Foundation, but even Hattori Heizou, a high-ranking police officer, personally called to inquire about the progress of the investigation.

"I heard that the son-in-law of the Nagato Foundation has died, and the law and order in Tokyo seems to be not very good recently, and your responsibility as the police department of the first search section is a little heavier! But look at the police badge on your uniform, think about the broad masses of the people, you must find out the truth of the incident in the shortest possible time and give an explanation to the citizens. Moreover, it is necessary to pay attention to the impact of the situation and not allow the media to create bad public opinion. Okay, that's it, I won't bother you with the case......"

Twilight recalled the call she received from her boss in the early hours of last night, and she still had palpitations.

Out of an abundance of caution, Twilight decided to investigate further.
