When Shiraki arrived, the chairman of the house was unharmed, and in addition, he saw a person who was almost forgotten, Nobuko Nagato.

This lady is obviously irritable, but for some reason, her sense of presence is so low that when they checked the alibi just now, everyone forgot to put her in it.

Hattori Heiji silently reflected for a second and added, "Why are you here?" Where were you before? ”

Nobuko Nagato was impatient, but the tense atmosphere made her know that this was not the time to lose her temper, so she had to be patient:

"I heard Kang Jiang's scream, and I didn't feel at ease, so I came over to take a look, and I was drinking in the room before."

Nobuko Nagato does have a strong smell of alcohol on her body.

After a pause, she also thought of her alibi, "I was on the phone and complaining to my friends...... But I drank the pieces, and I don't remember who I called. ”

"If you want me to say, the murderer must be Xiuchen! After the fire in high school, he and Bright began to fight each other, and every time they met, they would have a big fight, and it was not surprising that they killed him in a moment of excitement. ”

"Fire?" Conan always found this information useful, and asked, "Can you elaborate on it?" ”

"Twenty years ago, there was a fire in the vicinity, when Xiuchen and Guangming, who were in high school, happened to pass by, Guangming was scared away, and Xiuchen rushed into the fire alone and saved a little girl, which is this." , she raised her chin to the side, "Hinata Yuki." ”

Hinata had already realized what she was going to say next, but she didn't avoid it, looking directly at her.

As you can see, Hidetomi's face was burned, and then he took a break from school and hid in the attic and began to write something. This woman took advantage of the situation and asked him to introduce her to my father's secretary, and now she wants to marry into our family! ”

"That's enough, Nobuko." , the chairman's voice came from the bed, and it sounded a little weak.

On his birthday, his son-in-law died, and his son was suspected of missing his whereabouts.

Nobuko Nagato finally thought about it once, stopped talking, and said dryly, "Ah, Dad, are you awake?" ”

The chairman wrapped himself in the quilt and sighed, "I've been half-awake since you ran out of the room noisily. ”

“！” , Officer Twilight was a little happy, and there was another clue about witnesses, "May I ask if there is anything unusual during this time?" Has the murderer been here? ”

"Nothing out of the ordinary." , The chairman barely opened his eyes, "Before Xiaolan came, Hinata was always by my side, and then Nobuko also came over, so I was very relieved." ”

"That's ......", it can be consistent with what others said, and it seems that the problem is really with the unknown Nagato Hidetomi.

……

The police began to carefully search every corner of the villa to find Hidetomi Nagato, who was hiding.

After leaving the chairman's room, Conan was silent in the corner for a while, and suddenly said, "I was wrong before. ”

"What?" , Bai Shu was about to find someone, and was suddenly accosted, almost not keeping up with his brain circuit.

"Do you remember what Hattori said earlier? The strange sound of collision and running in the middle of the night. Conan touched his chin and thought:

"That's not a thief, it's someone preparing for this murder."

Bai Shu nodded, "A well-prepared criminal will not simply and rudely expose his knife to our eyes. It was also strange to throw murder weapons, hats and bandages at the scene.

"The murderer showed his face in order to blame the case on Nagato Hideto, unless Nagato Hidetomi whimsically tried to make the police think that he was not the murderer by blaming himself and thus escaped justice, otherwise he is not very suspicious...... What do you see me doing? ”

Conan had a strange expression, "...... Why are you so positive all of a sudden, are you stimulated by something? ”

"Smack-", Bai Shu gave him a slap on the back of the head.

He just felt that with Hattori Heiji putting this pestle aside, Maori Kogoro was afraid that he would not have much chance to brush up his prestige, so it was better to solve the case and go back early, otherwise he would have to stay in this lifeless villa for one more day.

has been hammered a lot by Maori Kogoro, and Conan seems to have awakened the passive skill of "diverting the topic as soon as he is slapped on the ground".

He coughed and said, "When we saw 'Nagato Hideto', everyone was in the dormitory, and the servants were all in the kitchen, but Nagato Nobuko was alone at that time, I think ......"

"I think." , A faint voice suddenly came from behind, "Your child's reasoning ability doesn't quite match your age." ”

“！” Conan was startled by the sudden appearance of this person, and when he turned around, he saw Hattori Heiji standing behind them, looking deeply at Conan with an X-ray vision, and he wanted to see through the person every minute.

Conan's goosebumps rose, he pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, "I didn't say anything, yes...... It's Brother Naoki who is teaching me reasoning, hahaha. ”

"Hahaha." , Hattori Heiji smiled more fakely than him, and after laughing, he turned directly to the third person present, "Hey, you said, did you teach it?" ”

Hattori Heiji also asked meaningfully, and he actually had the answer in his heart - he had been eavesdropping behind the two of them for a long time!

I would ask this question at this moment, because I also wanted to see Bai Shu reveal his flaws when shielding Conan, so that he could be more sure of his speculation.

However, people didn't pay attention to his words at all.

After Hattori Heiji appeared, Shiraki didn't start casually, looking out at the scenery through the corridor window.

At this moment, he was slapped by Hattori Pingji, and he suddenly turned his face, his expression was deep and serious, which startled Hattori Pingji.

The latter came back to his senses and shouted, "What a look on your face!" I don't want to answer......"

"I see." Bai Shu interrupted him, "Found a perfect Tibetan location!" ”

“…… What the?! The two competent detectives threw Conan's identity aside at the same time and asked excitedly, "Which one?!" ”

……

A few minutes later.

Heiji Hattori looked at the pond in front of him, and the corners of his eyes twitched, "Are you kidding, is this a place where you can hide people!" ”

"Of course, living people can't do it, but this is such a big pool, Tibetans can definitely do it."

As he spoke, the white tree jumped on the edge of the pond and picked up a branch and poked it in.

The pool was unexpectedly deep, and more than a meter of branches were inserted into it, and it didn't even touch the bottom.

"You mean the other person is dead? Still dead here? ", how does Hattori Heiji think he is unreliable:

"You didn't say this to divert the topic, did you, or did you get some evidence that I don't know?"

Under his repeated questioning, the unreliable detective threw away the branch and stood up, "The water is so dirty, the mud inside should be quite deep, you can't get in, find someone to release the water." ”，

As he spoke, he had already walked towards a police officer in the distance.

"......", Hattori Heiji and Conan, who were left behind, looked at each other, and Hattori looked at this talented little brother, "That's how he solved the case?" ”

Conan also thought the process was mysterious, but ......

"It's called pinching your fingers and counting the flow, and you'll get used to it after watching it a few more times."

He wanted to pat Hattori Heiji on the shoulder like a passerby, but he couldn't reach it, so he had to retreat and pat him on the leg twice, chasing Shiraki away.
