Chapter 138: Please Close Your Eyes When It's Dark
Takuya Mifune glanced at him irritably, "How do I know, I'm not a murderer!" โ
Osamu Gojo and Shoji Rokuta nodded along with him.
The death of a companion is obviously not a pleasant topic, and after the four of them chatted a few words and satisfied their desire to communicate, they unconsciously started gossiping to relieve pressure.
Seeing that they were pulling the topic farther and farther, Bai Shuyuan asked, "When you were playing cards just now, you seemed to have said that there was a tragedy in the yacht club two years ago?" โ
"Huh?" , several people turned their heads at the same time, and the reaction was quite big. Two years ago, it seems, is a shadow for all of them.
The four of them were silent for a moment, and finally it was Rokuta Shoji who spoke:
"At a party two years ago, we landed on an island, moored our yachts on the island, and had our own ...... Didn't even notice the storm was approaching. โ
"It was an island that would be flooded at high tide, and in the midst of the storm, almost everyone returned to the boat, but Miss Lihua never came. As a last resort, one of our companions went to her in a rubber dinghy......"
"Half a day later, the storm gradually subsided, and we returned to the vicinity of the island, where we found Nikaido floating on the surface of the sea with the eldest lady in life jackets. Nikaido didn't travel with us that day, and it is said that they met because he happened to be fishing nearby. The expression of Takashi Ichieda is the same as that of Shoji Rokuta, and there is a bit of heaviness in his sorrow:
"We have not been able to find our companions who went to the rescue. Three days later, her body was found floating on the surface of the sea. โ
"......", although he knew that this was not good, but the moment he heard this words, the eyes of Maori Kogoro and Conan flashed with excitement.
They vaguely feel that they have caught somethingโthis kind of accident involving human life is indeed prone to murder tragedy.
Mori Kogoro cleared his throat and tried to make his voice sad, "Is there any family of your deceased companion nearby?" Like her parents, boyfriend, etc., ......"
"Yaeko doesn't have a boyfriend, and her parents are long gone." An old voice answered him.
Maori Kogoro turned around and saw Granny Mi carrying a tray full of hot coffee, taking small steps that were not exaggerated, and slowly walked in:
"Yaeko is my granddaughter, we have been serving the Shijing family for generations, and if we can sacrifice our lives for the eldest lady, Yaeko must die without regrets."
The old man was hunched back, and there was no expression on his wrinkled face.
But it was her granddaughter who died, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't be comfortable in her heart.
Mori Kogoro was also embarrassed to ask anything more.
He picked up a cup of coffee and took a pretended sip to ease the atmosphere a little.
Then he cleared his throat and decided to tackle something more important first:
"Anyway, let's find out the missing Miss Shijing first, and let's search carefully again."
"Hmm." , In front of Granny Mi, Rokuta Shoji was also a little weak-hearted, and he also took a cup of coffee, "In order to prevent the murderer from sneaking up, let's not be too scattered, let's just divide it into two groups." โ
"Okay."
Several people decided to leave after their coffee.
Bai Shu waited for them to finish picking before reaching out to the last cup, bringing it to his lips without drinking it, and sniffing it not very obviously.
I can't smell anything but the mellow aroma of coffee.
He didn't know if his sense of smell wasn't sensitive enough, or if there was really nothing in this cup of coffee, so he took two sips and put it down.
Ichizuda's gaze swept aimlessly over the crowd, and when he saw his cup, he paused slightly, and then quickly looked away before the white tree looked at him.
After drinking coffee, Mori Kogoro and Rokuta Shoji began to calculate the search route, and finally finalized Mori Kogoro was in charge of the first floor, and Rokuta Shoji and others were in charge of the second floor.
After the distribution, just as she was about to leave, Xiaolan slowly yawned and sat down on the sofa.
The sudden drowsiness made her eyes a little dull, and she rubbed her eyes vigorously, "I'm so sleepy." โ
The inertia of the plot is really great, the murderer casually threw sleeping pills into a cup, and the probability of one in nine is actually the same as the world line that should have been, or Xiaolan encountered it.
Could it be that the so-called European emperor's physique does not all refer to good luck, but to a small probability event?
Xiaolan patted her face, picked up the remaining half of the coffee and took a sip, trying to sober up, but it backfired, and she was even more sleepy.
She sat on the couch, her head little by little, as if she was going to fall asleep in the next second.
Although there was a homicide, it was already late at night after all, and under the influence of some kind of mysterious Kexue, even Conan didn't think there was anything wrong with her for the time being.
Granny Mi slowly brought a quilt and put it on Xiaolan's lap, "If you are sleepy, sleep for a while, I will accompany you by the side." โ
Xiaolan actually wanted to help with the search, but she was really sleepy to the point of being delirious, and Granny Mi touched her without any strength, and she fell softly on the sofa, the quilt was not covered, or Granny Mi helped her cover it.
After settling down and dropping the chain halfway, the others set off according to the plan just now.
As he left the living room, Shiraki glanced at the remote control of the air conditioner that had been placed on the bottom floor of the coffee table.
Most of the light is obscured by the desktop, and the light around the remote control is dim, but for some people who have turned on the night vision hanger, it is effortless to see the display.
- The remote control of the air conditioner is turned on, in timed mode, and starts at 12:30, and there are still ten minutes to go.
The first floor is very large, and in addition to Maori Kogoro and a few others, Takashi Ichae also joined here, saying that he was worried that they were not familiar with the structure of the villa, so he came to help them lead the way.
Ivan Takashi made small movements, and when he left the kitchen, he turned on the microwave; When he went to the dark bathroom to check, he rushed into the bathtub first, and after a search, he calmly said, "There is no here." โ
Under the guidance of Yizhi Taka, the first floor was quickly searched, and Shijing Lihua was not found.
Maori Kogoro scratched his head, "Why don't we go to the second floor too?" โ
Takashi Ichieda insisted on the initial opinion, "I think she is still in the forest......
At that moment, the lights went out without warning.
The corridor instantly fell into darkness, although there were windows, but it was raining continuously outside, not much brighter than inside the house, and several people froze suddenly.
Shiraki casually looked at Conan's watch, and it was exactly 12:30.
Mori Kogoro was quite calm, he quickly came back to his senses and asked Takashi Ichieda, "Where's the electric switch?" โ
"In the corridor to the west!" , Yizhilong moved to the wall, touched the wall to confirm the direction, and ran out first. Conan and Mori Kogoro also followed the wall, close behind.
Bai Shu followed behind the three of them for a long time, watching Yizhi Takashi run to the vicinity of the electric gate as if he had practiced countless times.
Then Ichichi squatted down, picked up an iron rod that had been hidden in advance from the gap between the floor and the wall, swung it violently, and smashed it on the window next to the electric switch, shattering the glass to the ground.
"Who?!" Conan was startled, and he heard the sound of glass shattering in front of him.
Bai Shu couldn't bear to look directly at his head, and in the next second, the bridge of Conan's nose was sore, and he slammed into Gojo Shu's hip bone.
At the same time, Rokuta Shoji opened the electric gate in the dark, and the corridor instantly opened up.
