Chapter 137: Pay Attention to the Details After Death!
Bai Shu walked over to a pile of bushes, turned on his flashlight, and looked inside.
Rotting leaves hung from the cracks of the branches, and the smell of dirt mixed with moss permeated the surface, and there was no living thing hiding in it except for a few bugs.
He turned around and said, "Not here." β
The rain rustled down and became heavier and heavier.
Maori Kogoro wiped off the water on his head and sighed, "Forget it, let's go back to the villa first." The eldest lady definitely won't be able to get wet, and if she is really outside, it's time to go back. β
"......", Conan followed Xiaolan's feet, glanced at Maori Kogoro speechlessly, and felt that he had misunderstood the group of the eldest lady, and Reika Shitsui was not paper paste, and it was not strange that her temper came up, and she took the initiative to run to pour a knife.
However, it was difficult to gain anything from such an aimless search, and Conan finally didn't say anything, and followed the adults back to the villa quickly.
As she was about to enter the house, Xiaolan inadvertently looked in the direction of the fountain.
A touch of white came into her eyes, Xiaolan unconsciously stopped, and blinked suspiciously, "Over there...... Someone seems to have it? β
Bai Shu also stopped, looked over, and was not surprised to see a riotous white suit, "It seems to be Nikaido." β
"I must have been drunk and ran to the fountain pool to throw up, and I accidentally fell asleep." , Maori Kogoro said helplessly.
He can always give all kinds of emergencies, and his brain makes up a seemingly reasonable background, Maori Kogoro walked over with a big heart, and pushed Nikaido, "Hey, wake up, don't sleep in this kind of ......!" β
With a muffled thud, the edge of Nikaido fell down the edge of the slippery fountain and lay on its back on the ground.
His skin was a lifeless white, his eyes were slightly bulging, his eyes were wide, and there was a little foam on his mouth and nose that had not yet dispersed.
This made Xiaolan instinctively feel that something was wrong, so soon, everyone heard a huge scream, "Ahββ!!! β
"......", Bai Shu rubbed his ears, and patted Xiaolan's shoulder with his other hand comfortingly, speaking of which, Xiaolan has seen dozens of corpses but more than a dozen, why haven't she cultivated some antibodies......
But there's no denying that this voice is very practical.
- As if the rallying cry was sounded, the people who should have been scattered all over the forest ran over in unison, "What's wrong?!" β
The white tree pointed to the ground.
The four people who rushed to the city bowed their heads at the same time, and they were stunned at the same time, and in the end, it was Takuya Mifune who reacted first.
He ran over quickly, crouched down and slapped Nikaido's face, "Hey, wake up!" β
Mori Kogoro twisted a handful of the rain from his cuffs, wiped a handful of the rain on his face that was about to blur his vision, and sighed, "It's useless, he's dead." β
One, three, five, six, and four people are God in sync: "What? How could it be! β
"Mr. Nikaido is not drunk, and his body seems to be fine, if he doesn't have any symptoms that would cause sudden fainting, he should have drowned." , Bai Shu's narration skills are already very proficient, "Judging by all indications, he was killed only a few minutes ago. β
At this time, the soul on the edge of the fountain raised its head sluggishly and added rigorously, "4 minutes and 35 seconds, I started counting from floating out." β
"......", why do ghosts care about such things!
Bai Shu was inconspicuously stuck in his shell, and continued his unfinished lines, "...... There is a high probability that he will kill, in other words, the murderer must still be nearby, and it may even be among us. β
Conan slipped over to the corpse at some point, he had already secretly checked it, and when he heard Shiraki's words, he pointed to the back of Nikaido's neck and said loudly, "Wow, there seems to be a handprint here!" β
Mori Kogoro leaned over to look at it and slapped him on the back of the head, "Don't make trouble, stay away from the corpse!" β
Xiaolan pulled Conan to the side, frowned and asked, "Who did the poison?" β
Takuya Mifune's black skin reflected faintly in the night, and he suddenly said, "Don't you think the missing Miss Reika is suspicious?" β
"Nikaido was supposed to be in the woods, but now he's dead by the fountain, and there's no trace of dragging aroundβif Miss Lihua invited him here and then committed another murder, it all makes sense."
Seems to make some sense, but ......
"As long as it's not a stranger, it's not difficult to find an excuse to trick Mr. Nikaido into coming to the fountain, we can all do it. In addition, although Nikaido is not very robust, it is not something that Miss Lihua can hold down alone. β
Bai Shu raised his hand to cover the crackling raindrops, and began to miss the comfortable environment in the villa, he suggested, "Let's call the police first." β
The group agreed, returned to the house one after another, and looked for a phone to call the police.
Of course, the thoughtful murderer did not forget this detail, the telephone line was cut, the place where the villa was located could not receive a signal, the mobile phone became a piece of scrap metal, and the news could not be transmitted at all.
Shiraki was lazy to make another run, and before returning to the villa, he went to Maori Kogoro's car for a turn.
After a group of people sat down at the table, he blocked the last hope, "I just went to check the tires of the Maori teacher, the tires are flat, I can't drive to the police overnight, the murderer deliberately trapped us here." β
"......", Xiaolan felt that she should panic as expected, but in fact, she didn't seem to be too surprised...... I've encountered this situation before, and I'm getting used to it.
She opened her mouth, and finally swallowed back the phrase "what should I do then", and instead comforted, "Mr. Shijing will send a car to pick us up tomorrow, let's wait patiently until tomorrow!" Me, huh...... I'm going to help everyone make something to drink. β
Granny Mi nodded in agreement, and the old woman, who was not as tall as Xiaolan's waist, leaned her back and laughed slowly, her face wrinkled even deeper, "The kitchen is here, I'll take you there." β
The two walked away one after the other, and Takuya Mifune collapsed on the sofa for a while, and suddenly got up and walked out of the hall, "I'll go to the bathroom." β
ββ¦β¦ Let's go too! β
I don't know if it's because of fear or something else, Takashi Ichieda and Osamu Gojo got up to catch up with him and went to the toilet in a group. In the living room, in addition to Maori Kogoro and his party, only Rokuta Shoji remained.
But this one also left soon, and the curly-haired uncle smiled calmly, "Everyone is wet, I'll go get a towel and wipe it for you." β
Conan felt like he had caught something, "Uncle seems to be familiar with this place!" β
"That's right." Rokuta Shoji patiently explained, "Actually, apart from you, we are all familiar with this villa - we used to be members of the yacht club and often met here. β
"I see, that's ......," Conan thought.
β¦β¦
Rokuta Shoji quickly retrieved the towel, and the three people who went to the toilet also came back one after another.
Takashi Izae took the towel, took off his glasses, carefully wiped his dripping hair, and asked very suspiciously, "Why did someone want to kill Nikaido?" β
