Chapter 29: The Earliest Arrangement

The old butler looked around and saw that two men were missing, so he went into the cabin to look for them.

Not long after he left, Xiao Wu came to the restaurant with his head hanging and an ugly expression.

Xia Jiang looked at him worriedly, "Your face is not very good, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Wu squeezed out an ugly smile and sat down next to her, "It's okay, I was thinking about something in the room just now, so I was late." ”

Xiaolan glanced at Xiao Wu, and after looking away, she couldn't help but look at it again, and then she frowned slightly, always feeling ...... He seems to be a little different from before.

It's not an expression, it's something else......

Bai Shu noticed Xiaolan's appearance and took the initiative to talk to Xiao Wu, "Where's your corsage?" ”

"Yes, that's it!" , Xiaolan subconsciously clapped her hands and blurted out.

After a moment, realizing that her reaction was not appropriate, she laughed dryly twice and stopped talking.

But with this sentence, the people at the table also remembered: Xiao Wu had been pinning a flower to his chest before.

On the deck just now, the two also sent a wave of dog food: Xiao Wu said that it was after the wedding, and Xia Jiang gave him a pin. Xia Jiang immediately nodded, saying that one of her dreams was to give this kind of flower, which only blooms on the island, to the person she loves the most.

At this moment, Xiao Wu looked down at his chest and was also stunned, "I don't know, it's probably gone." ”

"Well......", seeing that he lost the flower, Xia Jiang was a little lost, but Xiao Wu looked in a trance, so she didn't bother about it anymore.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth, trying to change the subject, but before she could spit out the first word, a scream suddenly pierced the air and echoed through the depths of the hallway into the dining room.

Everyone was shocked, Qiu Jiang was stunned for a moment, and was the first to react, "Isn't this the voice of the housekeeper!" ”

"In that direction, it seems to be Dad's room?" , Shoji stood up.

The sudden scream was so terrifying that a group of people lost their minds to eat in an instant, so they got up one after another and ran towards the place where the shout came from.

After turning a few corners, I saw the butler sitting in the hallway, staring straight at the room in front of him, his face white.

The room belonged to the old man, and at the moment the door was ajar, and a sticky blood stain could be seen on the door, adding a strange aura to the quiet corridor.

Conan and Mori Kogoro were the first to arrive, and they stood in the doorway, stunned as they watched the scene inside.

The two of them were stunned, and others also arrived one after another. Bai Shu followed and probed and saw the old man lying on his back on the ground in the room, covered in blood and poked in his stomach.

The old man's soul was paralyzed next to the corpse in a daze, and now he was alarmed by the crowd that rushed to him, and he slowly came back to his senses.

His eyes were mixed with surprise and anger, and he glared at someone in the crowd, "Little Bunny......"

Mori Kogoro came back to his senses, immediately ran in, probed the old man's neck, and then announced with a heavy expression, "There is no pulse, he is dead." ”

"No, it's impossible to ......", in the group of people, Xia Jiang was the only one with tears in her eyes, she covered her mouth in disbelief, threw herself at the terrifying-looking corpse, and shouted miserably, "Grandpa! ”

"Don't go in." , Bai Shuyi stretched out his hand and grabbed her.

"Yes, no one is allowed to enter this room without my permission!" , Mori Kogoro has a serious expression, which is different from usual and looks majestic.

Xia Jiang bit her lip tightly, and finally understood the situation, she didn't insist on entering the house anymore, turned her head and threw herself into Xiao Wu's arms and cried.

The white tree let go of her, bypassed the bloodstains, and slipped in lightly.

Mori Kogoro turned his head and looked at him, but didn't stop him.

In Maori's eyes, his assistant is quite reliable, and he is a person who has gone to the police academy, so he basically knows what he should know, so he doesn't have to worry about destroying the scene.

Bai Shu squatted down, and with the help of inspection, he secretly pulled over the soul that was staring at the door and gritting his teeth, and held it down.

Of course, of course, he didn't fall behind, and after checking it, he quickly concluded, "The jaw has not stiffened, the pupil sphincter has begun to tighten, and the body temperature has dropped, and he was killed about 40 to 50 minutes ago." ”

Qiu Jiang leaned on the door frame, facing the corpse of his own grandfather, without any sadness, but was in the mood to quip, "The detective is really extraordinary." ”

When Xiaolan and Xia Jiang were chatting in the restaurant just now, they had mentioned the identities of Maori people.

Xiaolan was very happy to hear that the people on her side were praised, "Brother Naoki graduated from the police academy, and my father was also a criminal police officer before!" ”

Qiu Jiang glanced at her with the tail of his eyes, didn't answer, and secretly muttered in his heart, where did the stupid child come from, he didn't look at the atmosphere at all when he spoke.

When Shiraki tries to do ideological work on the soul and make him feel at ease and wait for the murderer to be punished, Mori Kogoro also begins to investigate the suspect.

The first to find the body was the butler, but because the deceased had been in the dining room around 8 p.m. when he had been killed, he had been preparing the dishes — several pairs of eyes had seen it, so he was the first to rule out suspicion.

"When I came, the door was locked from the inside, and it couldn't be opened without a key." The old butler touched his beard and laboriously recalled for a while, "Except for the master, the key is only one of mine." ”

Maori Kogoro sighed, looked around the room, and frowned, "In other words, when Master Haozo died, this room was completely sealed. ”

"Oh? Is that suicide? Qiujiang didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and put forward a very unreliable conjecture.

What's even more unreliable is that most of the people in the Akimoto family actually agreed with Qiu Jiang's conclusion and helped her improve this brain hole together.

"No, there's no murder weapon in this room at all." , Bai Shu rubbed his ears and interjected.

The roar of the soul next to him almost knocked the roof down...... For the sake of his ears, he only opened his mouth.

Qiu Jiang's husband also had a big brain, and this golden retriever killed Matt with a heartfelt word, "Isn't it often written in novels!" If you use ice as a murder weapon, it will melt and disappear after a while, and this old man must want to use this method to punish us for coveting his property! ”

"......", Bai Shu almost wanted to knock open his skull to see what kind of structure it was.

However, except for Xia Jiang, most of the others chose to echo this idea, and even took it, almost leading Maori Kogoro crookedly.

The soul next to him couldn't help but roll up his sleeves while scolding the street, and it looked like he was about to run over and hammer people.

Bai Shu was so annoyed by it that he was trying to figure out whether to cover his mouth, when suddenly, his trouser leg was tugged.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Conan looking at him directly, "Brother Naoki, don't you think something is strange." ”
