"It's so weird! I can't find it! "Yes, where did Miss Lihua go?" When everyone gathered in the living room to tell their discoveries, they couldn't help but feel strange.

"She can't just run to the grove outside the villa alone and get lost inside!" Nikaido said something guessingly, which made everyone's hearts sink even more.

If it is really as Nikaido said, then regardless of whether Reika Shitsui left the villa voluntarily and did not come back for so long, then it is very likely that something really happened.

"Alright, let's scatter and look in the woods!" Kogoro frowned and proposed to everyone.

After hearing his words, several people looked at each other, and although Mifune had some complaints, they also agreed with everyone.

At first, everyone was relatively close, but after searching for a while, the distance between them gradually widened, but Kogoro's family of three still walked together, shouting the name of Reika Shitsui.

After a while, the three of Kogoro still found nothing. But it was raining at this time, and the three of them had no choice but to choose to return.

When the three of them braved the rain and hurried to the villa. Kogoro was the first to spot a person lying on his stomach next to the fountain pool in the front yard. "Huh!? Isn't this Nikaido? ”

Seeing his appearance, Kogoro suddenly became suspicious. Walked quickly behind him, shouting at the same time but not answering. When he walked to his side and was about to stretch out his hand, Kogoro suddenly noticed something.

Nikaido's face was buried in the pool, and his hands were hanging limply from the pool. Judging by the strange posture of his body now, it is basically impossible for a living person to do it.

After a moment's hesitation, Kogoro stretched out his right middle finger and index finger and pressed them against the carotid artery of Nikaido, and there was a coldness and silence in the touch.

Gently shook his head at Xiao Lan, who was in shock behind him, and then whispered. "He's dead!" "How so!?" Xiaolan's voice trembled a little, and for the person who was chatting with her before, he was already dead at this time, which was obviously difficult to accept.

"Okay Xiaolan, you go to the villa and have a look, and if they come back, call everyone over. If not, you will stay in the villa with Aunt Mi. Also, be careful yourself. ”

"Ah, good!" Hearing Kogoro's instructions, Xiaolan suddenly calmed down, and after responding, she ran towards the villa.

After seeing Xiaolan's figure far away, Kogoro and Conan began to inspect the scene. The rain wasn't too heavy, and even if Nikaido's face was soaked in water, his body temperature wouldn't drop for a while.

Then it is basically certain that it will be at least five minutes before Kogoro finds his body. At this time, it was just when it started to rain.

And it is unlikely that a unique villa on a hill like this one was made by other outsiders, so was it done by someone in the villa? What is his purpose? Is Reika Yotsui still alive?

A large list of questions rushed to Kogoro's mind, what is the connection between them? When he thought of this, Kogoro suddenly remembered.

Nikaido had previously said that they were both members of the same swimming club, and it seems that something happened two years ago, and now Nikaido has also been confirmed by Conan as drowning.

It seems that we have to ask what happened two years ago! Just when Kogoro decided to use that incident as a breakthrough, Xiaolan came with everyone who was going to live in the villa tonight, except for Rika Yotsui.

"Nikaido!" Seeing the appearance of the second order hall at this time, although listening to Xiaolan roughly speaking, everyone was still very surprised, although they often quarreled over some things, but after all, they had known each other for so many years.

Now to see him die suddenly is somewhat touching and sad. "What the hell is going on?! Nikaido, wasn't he okay before? Takashi Izae looked very excited, and he had the best relationship with Nikaido among the few people.

Kogoro turned his head to Ichieda Takashi and said in a deep voice, "He died of drowning, depending on the situation, he was forcibly pressed into the pool by the sound until he drowned." The time was five to ten minutes in advance. ”

"How so!?" "Damn! Who killed Nikaido!? Everyone immediately began to discuss, whether it was sincere or not, they had to say two words to show their attitude.

"Speaking of which, there is one person who is the most suspicious right now! That's Miss Lihua, whose whereabouts have been unknown! Takuya Mifune also directly stated his judgment, regardless of the thoughts of others.

Hearing his words, Kogoro immediately shook his head. "It can't be her, with a woman's strength, there is no way to force Nikaido to hold him down and let him drown."

After a pause, his gaze swept over everyone present. "And, as far as the current situation is concerned, I'm afraid that Miss Shijing Lihua has already been killed somewhere."

Hearing his words, everyone's faces sank, the current situation is really bad, it is very likely that two people have died, especially Lihua Shijing, if she is really killed, they will all be implicated and receive the anger from Shijing Yuanguang.

"Anyway, let's find a way to contact the police! I looked at it, and there was no signal on my mobile phone around here, so I went back to try the landline. By the way, you're here to help. ”

With that, he asked a few people to carry Nikaido's body to the pool and let him lie down. Because the light was too dark and it was raining, they couldn't find any useful clues.

Kogoro took off his coat and put it over Nikaido's head and upper body. This is to better protect the corpse and keep him as good as he was when he died.

Then he took people back to the villa, but after several attempts, the two landlines in the villa still couldn't get through. "How so!? Did the killer break the phone line here? ”

"That's it, it seems! I'm afraid that the murderer still has some goals that have not been solved, and he wants to continue to do it in the next time. Hearing Kogoro's inference, everyone's faces became very ugly.

Regardless of the performance of several people, Kogoro walked towards the house by himself. "You all stay here first, and I'll take a look at my car. If the murderer had the idea of continuing to act, he would probably have punctured the tire of my car as well! ”

After Xiao Wulang left, Aunt Mi said that she was going to make coffee for everyone to drink, and Xiao Lan also went over to help. Immediately after that, Takuya Mifune also walked towards the corridor.

"Mifune, where are you going?" "I'm going to the bathroom." After hearing his explanation, Takashi Ichieda and Osamu Gojo immediately followed, and Shoji Rokuta went to find a few dry towels. It had rained suddenly, and everyone was drenched in some bite.
