Chapter 167

Shiraki looked left and right: Conan and Heiji Hattori leaned against the door frame one by one, thinking about the murderer's intentions and the flaws that might be exposed, completely immersed in his own small world of reasoning.

The quarrels of other people, the spectators of the battle, none of them came out to take the lead in solving the case.

Bai Shu held his face and waited boredly for several minutes before he suddenly remembered that in the original trajectory, taking the lead in finding clues seemed to be the job of Maori Kogoro.

"......", I should have fooled him if I knew it earlier, how important is it to solve the case by betting on horses!

However, no matter how much he regretted it, Bai Shu could only clear his throat and take over the role of Maori Kogoro:

"Stop, stop arguing. Instead of this kind of unreasonable suspicion and questioning, why not solve the problem in the way that you worship Holmes - such as reasoning first? ”

When the fans heard the name of the idol, they finally quieted down a little and looked at him in unison.

Bai Shu thought for a moment how a normal detective would ask, and then spoke according to the process, "Last night, after Mr. Kanaya left, who else saw him?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but no one nodded.

After dinner, most of them stayed in the room to brush up on the questions, comparing their hearts to each other, and they all felt that this must be the case with everyone else.

As for those who don't have to brush the questions......

Countless eyes focused on the waiter, and the physical education teacher said bluntly, "You must have seen him, such as bringing him food or something." ”

The waiter waved his hand again and again, "The boss has been on a diet recently, and he eats healthy meals in his room, and I haven't seen him after dinner yesterday." ”

“…… Is it. ”

Although the statement that "three or four meals in a row was eaten in a room" was somewhat suspicious, considering Kanaya's overweight stature and the fact that he had left the venue without dinner yesterday, the crowd did not press the seemingly timid employee again.

The whereabouts of Jingu in the past 30 hours have been completely mysterious. And the corpse that can provide many clues has also fallen under the cliff and cannot be retrieved for a while, this case is very tricky.

Maria Toda clasped her hands and subconsciously wanted to look up at the starry sky, but this was the interior, and she looked out reverently, not the sky, only the plainly decorated ceiling, and the ...... in the corner

"Camera!"

She suddenly exclaimed, "Remember? In order to prevent us from cheating, Mr. Kanaya said that there are cameras installed in every room, so just bring up the surveillance screen to see if anyone has been in contact with Mr. Kanaya......"

"Nope." , The waiter began to shake her head again, shaking and shaking, she was also a little desperate: she rejected everyone's proposals one after another, why was her own behavior so suspicious.

But as the only employee of the hotel, she can only come forward to explain:

"I'm sorry, but those cameras are fake – except for the two days of the annual Sherlock Holmes Tour, the rest of the year, we're a normal hotel, and by law, you can't have this kind of stuff in a guest's room, so it's just a model to deter the contestants."

The shortcut that came to mind was cut off halfway, and everyone sighed in disappointment.

Heiji Hattori finally came back to his senses from his reasoning and said what had just come to mind:

"Although there are too many unknown factors, now, we can at least know that the murderer asked the shopkeeper to get into the car at about half past three in the morning, started the car, and then drove to the cliff, so ......"

"So, the seven people in the living room are less likely to take action." , Conan answered without a sense of crisis, not realizing at all that after he opened his mouth, Hattori Heiji closed his mouth and began to peek at him with strange eyes.

Conan pointed to the four people on the other side, namely Toshiaki Fujisawa who was smoking a cigarette, Maria Toda who was muttering quietly, Nanako Shimizu who was eerie, and Ikuo Kawazu, a physical education teacher, "In other words, several of you are suspicious." ”

Ayako Oki looked at it for a moment, then suddenly pulled away the hand that Kento Shihe was holding her, approached Hattori Heiji, and whispered in his ear, "Hey, the one you were looking for just now...... Did you find it? ”

Hattori Heiji was taken aback by her, and after a pause of two seconds, he unconsciously lowered his voice and replied, "No, the ground is clean." ”

"Yes." , Ayako Oki suddenly curled the corners of her lips and sneered.

The others were horrified by her sudden laughter and looked at her, "...... What happened to you? ”

Oki Ayako took out a cigarette case, neatly threw out a cigarette, and lit it with two fingers.

She took a deep breath, spit it out slowly, and whispered, "I already know who the murderer is, the methods he used, and the conclusive evidence." ”

"What ?!!"

In the rising smoke, Ayako Oki looked up at the beautifully designed craft watch on the wall of the hall, and said with a smile, "I'll give you 10 minutes to think about it, if you don't want to be exposed, you'd better take the initiative to confess yourself." ”

After throwing off this sentence, she stepped on her high heels and walked out of the door, Shihu Yanren was stunned and hurriedly followed, "Ayako, where are you going?" ”

Ayako Oki took a cigarette in her mouth and replied to him slightly vaguely, "Go to the bathroom." ”

"Just after saying this kind of thing, you still dare to act alone?!"

"Why not? There is only one murderer, but there are so many people who protect me, what is there to worry about......"

The footsteps and conversations of the two drifted apart, leaving the Sherlock Holmes fans and detectives in the living room relatively silent.

Before everything had happened, it seemed that the dust had settled, and Conan and Hattori Heiji sat back on the couch and comforted each other, "She must have found some clues that we don't know." ”

"Well, that's definitely the case."

After speaking, the two of them looked at each other wonderfully, and then looked away from each other.

After Bai Shu introduced the topic, he decisively found a corner to sit down and rest, and even the tea had been brewed.

He picked up his teacup and drank it slowly.

At this moment, Xiaolan hesitated and spoke, "Actually...... I met Miss Ayako during the day, and she looked a little strange. ”

Due to the subtle similarity between Heiji Hattori and Shinichi Kudo, Xiaolan's favorability for this black-skinned detective is not low, let alone Conan, and she took the initiative to help the two analyze:

"It was about after lunch, and when I was about to go back to my room, I met her in the hallway.

"As soon as she saw me, she hid a stack of papers behind her unnaturally, and I thought she was holding an exam paper...... Did it turn out to be some important clues? ”

Before Conan and Hattori Heiji could speak, a group of dragons became excited first, and analyzed nonchalantly, "A stack of papers? Our books and notes were taken away, and there was no other paper in the room, so she must have taken the exam papers! ”

"I remember, she didn't come to dinner at noon, and her dessert was still my ......"

"Could it be that we sneaked into our room to peek at the answer while we weren't there?"

“…… What's the answer? What's wrong? The door was suddenly opened, and ten researchers walked in, asking questions suspiciously.

Ayako Oki is no longer by his side.
