The other four people left the living room, and Gao Cheng thought that it would be okay to sleep a little, so he lay down on the sofa, but after a while, he felt that something was wrong.

Barely opened his eyes, his vision was blurred, and he could only vaguely see Granny Mi.

What's going on? It's getting sleepy......

Was it drugged...... Why......

The drowsiness became stronger and stronger, and he had to grab the Toya Lake on his waist and fell into a deep sleep.

"Miss!"

"Miss Lihua!"

Liutian and others on the first floor and the second floor of the villa are still shouting and searching everywhere, but they still haven't found the appearance of Lihua Shijing.

"Did you find anything?"

"Nope!"

"Check it out over there!"

Hearing the shouts from upstairs and downstairs outside the living room, Granny Mi, who was sitting silently in the living room, suddenly got up and walked in front of Gao Cheng, looked at Gao Cheng's sleep, turned around and brought a blanket to cover Gao Cheng.

At this time, the lights in the villa suddenly went out with the sound of tripping, and it was pitch black everywhere.

"There's a power outage?"

"Let's go to the main switch!"

Mifune hurried downstairs to the main gate opposite the galley, when suddenly there was another sound of glass cracking.

After the switch of the main gate was pulled up, the lights came back on, and the scene appeared in front of everyone, only to see that the window in front of the main gate corridor seemed to be broken by something.

"What's going on?" Mifune looked at Takashi Ichieda and Osamu Gojo on the opposite side in disbelief.

"We don't know," Takashi Izae said, looking outside, "Someone seems to have jumped outside......

"Is it the murderer?"

Mifune gritted his teeth and looked at the dark forest outside, and hurriedly chased out of the broken window: "Damn! You don't want to escape! ”

"Three, three ships!"

"Wait a minute, Mifune! It's too dangerous! ”

The remaining three people chased after each other, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye, and by the time Granny Mi heard the movement and walked out of the villa, there was no one left.

In the living room of the villa, Gao Cheng opened his eyes in a daze, feeling as if he was being carried by someone, and there was a sound of rushing water in his ears.

Who......

In a drowsy state, Gao Cheng subconsciously wanted to pull out the Toya Lake on his waist, but his body couldn't move at all.

He felt like he was being pushed to the edge of the pool, and he could vaguely see the faucet open...... Water!!

"Poof!" A strong force came from the neck, and the head was pressed directly into the water, and in the cooing sound, the tap water continued to pour into the mouth and nose, and the death crisis was surging under the uncomfortable feeling of suffocation.

Gao Cheng opened his eyes violently, and the depths of his weak body burst out with an unparalleled will to survive, and his feeble hanging fingers moved and grabbed Toya Lake tightly.

The usually easy action of drawing the knife was extremely difficult at this time, and he almost trembled to complete the drawing of the knife, and slashed backwards with all his strength.

"Ahem!" The wooden knife did not hit the murderer, but it also made the force of the pressure behind him disappear, Gao Cheng suddenly got out of the pool, coughed and slipped on the ground, and breathed heavily.

He barely bothered to prop himself up with Toyako, and his vision was blurry before he could see a figure running out of the living room.

Damn it......

Gao Cheng gritted his teeth and walked to the door.

He seems to have been given sleeping pills, I don't know how much the amount of medicine is, but he has no strength at all, if he is not pressed into the water, I am afraid it will be difficult to wake up.

But now it's also very uncomfortable, the effect of the medicine is obviously far from subsiding, and I can only hold on as much as possible without sleeping.

"What's wrong, Detective Joto?" Granny Mi was startled when she saw Gao Cheng's wet and embarrassed appearance, and hurriedly took the towel and said, "Is something wrong?" ”

"It's nothing," Gao Cheng smiled lightly, took the towel and said, "Granny Mi, what about the others?" ”

"The electricity went off just now, and there was the sound of windows breaking, and then they all chased them out into the forest," Granny Mi said worriedly, "I saw that they were panicking, so I wanted to go and see them...... Detective Joto, don't you really care? ”

"I'm fine."

Gao Cheng wiped the water stains off his face and squinted his eyes to look outside the villa: "Granny Mi, can I trouble you to call them all back?" Let's just say that I was attacked by the murderer. ”

"Ah, okay." Granny Mi left the villa a little confused.

In the corridor to the west of the kitchen, Gao Cheng leaned against the wall and panted softly to the broken window.

The person just now should be the murderer, and it is very likely to be one of the four men, and Mifune's suspicion cannot be completely cleared, because there may not be no possibility of accomplices.

The key now is whether Miss Lihua, who is missing, was killed or is one of the murderers herself......

"Whoever you are, I'm going to get you out! Absolute! ”

Gao Cheng clenched his fist and relied on his own strength to prop up his body, pinning Toya Lake back to his waist, and his gaze looking out of the window became sharp.

When he returned to the kitchen, the water in the sink was still overflowing and flowing all over the ground, and when he turned off the faucet, Gao Cheng remembered the time when the murderer pressed him into the water.

It's a man, yes, when Granny Mi went to make coffee, all the people in Liutian left the living room, and anyone could secretly put sleeping pills in the coffee, but at that time he was taking a cup of coffee casually......

Random killings?

So why just put sleeping pills?

Gao Cheng put his hands in his pockets and returned to the living room, and it took a long time for the four of Liutian to return to the villa one after another.

"What? Detective Joto attacked by a murderer? ”

"What's going on?" There was nothing unusual about the surprised appearance of the six fields.

"Detective Joto, are you alright?"

"It's okay," Gao Cheng's gaze swept over a few people one by one, "The murderer put sleeping pills in a cup of coffee beforehand, and I just happened to drink it just because I was unlucky." ”

"Ann, sleeping pills?" Everyone subconsciously looked at Granny Mi, "Aunt Mi, ...... you"

"But I only put sugar...... Granny Mi said anxiously.

"The prisoner is not Granny Mi, but several of you are very suspicious, you may pretend to go into the forest to chase the murderer, but secretly come back, as for sleeping pills...... You weren't in the living room when Granny Mi was making coffee before, so you had the opportunity to put sleeping pills while Granny Mi wasn't paying attention. Gao Cheng scrutinized.

"No kidding," Mifune said tightly, "You should know that I'm not a murderer, and besides, isn't there Miss Lihua?" Maybe she did it. ”

"She wasn't the one who attacked me, I'm sure of that."

Gao Cheng glanced at Mifune, and then asked the other people, "Did you see anyone coming back when you chased them out?" ”

"Well, we all ran away at the time," Ichaeda recalled, "I was worried that something would happen to Mifune, so I didn't see him anytime soon......"

"What do you mean by that?" Mifune glared, "I haven't said you yet, who knows where you went?" ”

"Alright, everyone stop arguing!" Liutian stopped the two of them and looked at Gao Chengdao, "What do Detective Joto mean, do you mean that the prisoner is between us?" ”

"Probably."

Gao Cheng couldn't see anything from the expressions of several people, and asked, "I remember that you should all be searching in the villa, right?" How did you go to the forest again? And what about power outages? ”

"We searched all over the villa, but we still couldn't find Miss Reika," Ichaeda explained, "and then there was a sudden power outage, and we rushed to the circuit breaker, and the window was broken by someone, and then Mifune chased it out......"

"Did you see the murderer?"

"Nope."

"Can you repeat what you did when the power went out?" Gao Cheng pondered for a while, saw that he couldn't ask anything, and directly took everyone out of the living room for on-site simulation.

After several people rushed to the location of the electric switch in the corridor one after another according to the situation at the time of the power outage, Gao Chengcai continued to ask: "Have you found any problems?" ”

"What could be the problem," a few of them shook their heads again, "in that situation, how could you pay attention to other situations." ”

Gao Cheng frowned and didn't say anything more, and after looking at the time, he ordered: "It's past four o'clock in the morning, and there will be about three hours before the car comes, so let's stay in the living room together before that......"

"I don't need to," Mifune said impatiently, "I'd better go to the room on the second floor to rest, the detective kid can't be trusted, my life still has to be protected by myself, I don't want to stay with the murderer anymore...... By the way, if you make any more coffee, you don't have to prepare me, who knows what else will be. ”

"Mifune ......"

"Then I'll go back to my room," Rokuta followed, "Call me if the car that picks us up comes." ”

"Really, isn't it safer for everyone to get together?"

After Mifune and the two left, the rest of the people stayed in the living room with Gao Cheng, slowly waiting for the time to pass.

As the wall clock ticked, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of stopping.

"If this continues, I don't know when the car will pick us up tomorrow......" Gojo Shu muttered while standing by the window, turning to Gao Chengdao worriedly, "Detective Joto, you're a detective, right?" Can't we find out the murderer quickly? ”

Gao Cheng didn't seem to hear it, just thought about picking up the remote control of the air conditioner on the table to watch, it seemed to have been set by someone to set a timer to turn on, and there was a "12:30" timer setting on the remote control.

"Detective Joto?" Seeing that there was no response, Gojo shouted again in confusion.
