In the courtyard of the villa of the Sijing family, there is a small fountain pool, which is turned on 24 hours a day, and the sound of rushing water can be heard far away in the forest.

Shiraishi ran over the map given in the light screen, and from a long distance, he saw Ichieda standing at the water's edge with a hideous face, and forcefully pressed the head of another person into the water, and the person who was pressed was wearing a white suit and looked like Nikaido.

The choice of this murderer was somewhat unexpected by Shiraishi. Ichieda Takashi belongs to the kind of person who talks a lot, but doesn't have a strong sense of existence, and looks like a passerby who supports the background of the story, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce.

Although the geist has a "tooth for tooth coupon", Ichieda definitely doesn't have such a thing.

What's more, the mission has already been said, it should be right to save the "stunned young man who bears two lives" and stop him from killing.

Conan next to him didn't have night vision, and the flashlight on his watch couldn't shine that far, so he only saw two blurry black shadows entangled at the water's edge.

"Who's there?!" Conan shouted.

Although it is easier to sneak closer to catch a glimpse of the assailant, Conan feels that it is more important to save people than that - to scare people away a second earlier, or at least to make the murderer hesitate, maybe a life can be saved.

Startled by his shout, Ichiza looked up and saw a flashlight getting closer and closer to the fountain pool.

If the target is only Nikaido Priority, he probably won't leave.

But at this moment, looking down at the struggling Nikaido, and then thinking about the still alive Rika Shikai, Ichieda hesitated for a moment, and finally pushed the Nikaido Yuji into the pool, turned around and ran away.

If you drown like this, even if you don't die, you shouldn't be able to wake up for a while, so it's good to find an opportunity to kill again......

……

"It's so fast!" Conan ran to the edge of the pool with a pair of short legs, and he angrily hammered the water and asked Shiraishi next to him, "Do you see the appearance of the murderer?" ”

"No, I'm a little short-sighted, and I can only see that it's a person." Shiraishi said as he stepped into the pool, dragged Nikaido out with all his might, and put him on the ground outside.

Conan immediately approached to check, Nikaido Yuji's breathing and heartbeat were very weak, and he became serious: "It must be rescued as soon as possible, you come to give him artificial respiration." ”

Shiraishi showed a disgusted expression for a moment, and he quickly corrected before being seen by Conan, he pretended not to hear clearly, and only followed the tutorial given in the light screen to pose the person on the ground, ready to start chest compressions.

"Wait, it's better to give a few breaths first, and then ......" Speaking of this, Conan paused, thinking of something.

- Shiraishi knows a lot, and he is always doing things to stop crimes, and he must know the steps to rescue the drowning person, but now, he didn't come in order.

Think about the water cup he brought, the hand that retracted when he wanted to take the rice ball in KTV before, and the sudden de-powdering behavior because Tatsuya Kimura grabbed the rice ball with his hand...... Conan slowly sensed that something was wrong.

"Forget it, let's do it, although the child's lung capacity is relatively shallow, the effect may not be good......"

Conan sighed, and could only go over and clean up the airway of Nikaido Yuji by himself, take a deep breath, and prepare to blow in.

However, before artificial respiration was implemented, perhaps it was the aura of the protagonist in the dark who stopped everything, and Nikaido Yuji suddenly coughed, and after coughing for a while, he vomited several streams of water, and he relieved himself.

Conan was stunned.

Although he was ready for first aid, he didn't expect to be able to save people back - since high school, he has often encountered homicides, and this kind of rescue of victims is really rare.

…… It seems that they arrived in time. Fortunately, Shiraishi heard the movement just now.

Of course, it's a good thing that people don't die, and seeing that Nikaido Yuji is trying to open his eyes, Conan hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Who was going to kill you just now? ”

Nikaido Yuji opened his mouth, and Shiraishi leaned over and pretended to listen, and secretly took out the special anesthetic needle made by the Butterfly Shinobi in his hand.

This needle is a bit like Conan's modified version of the anesthetic needle, which melts into the body, and also has its own skin-repairing effect, and the needle hole is not visible from the outside after use. It's a pity that Butterfly Shinobu doesn't know anything about machinery, and this needle can't be launched, so he can only pinch and prick it manually.

Doing evil under the nose of the protagonist of the detective world, it's a little exciting to think about it.

However, before the needle could be pricked, a pair of translucent hands suddenly reached out from behind Yuji Nikaido, and gently covered his mouth.

Nikaido grabbed his neck, a faint sound in his throat, and a moment later, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Nanao-Yaeko knelt quietly beside her, she glanced down at Nikaido Yuji on the ground, and then at Shiraishi, and her figure faded again.

In Conan's eyes, all this is just an ordinary "Nikaido fainted".

Somewhat disappointed, he stood up and looked at the sky: "It's raining...... Let's take him back first. ”

The others were not far from the woods, and after being alarmed by Conan's shout, they came to the fountain one after another, and returned to the villa.

Hesitate for a sudden heavy rain, and at the moment everyone is wet, which makes Conan, who wants to distinguish the gangsters by water stains, very disappointed.

Granny Mi dragged a blanket and unfolded it and placed it beside the electric stove, and Nikaido was temporarily placed on the blanket.

Although he can rest better in bed, the murderer is unknown at the moment, and no one dares to put him alone in a house.

Shiraishi and Conan briefly describe the scene of the murder they saw, and the plastic brothers suddenly become suspicious of each other.

In the end, it was Takuya Mifune who put forward a different opinion, this person seems to be born with a lot of brains bigger than others: "You have forgotten the most suspicious person - Miss Reika Shitsui, who has disappeared to this day." ”

Some people support and some oppose this speculation, but no matter who the murderer is, the police process must still be followed.

Then the practice found that the mobile phone had no signal, the telephone line was cut, and the cars parked outside the door were all punctured.

It was only then that the people realized the gravity of the situation - they were trapped in this mountain house.

"Don't be in a hurry! Tomorrow morning, the car arranged by Mr. Shitsui will arrive, which means that in another seven or eight hours at most, we will be able to get in touch with the outside world again. ”

Shoji Rokuta tried to stabilize the scene: "Let's have some coffee to refresh ourselves and discuss what to do during this time." ”

……

A rain came so hard and so hard that several people were drenched.

When Granny Mi took Moriran and Suzuki Sonoko to make coffee, Rokuta Shoji and others found some bath towels, this villa is one of the common meeting places of their yacht club, and young talents are familiar with this place.

Soon everyone had a bath towel, and during the wiping process, several people inevitably chatted about tonight's events.

As soon as Shiraishi put the bath towel on his head, he heard Takashi Ichieda next to him ask in confusion, "Why was Nikaido attacked?" ”

…… This is actually an acting school.

"How do I know, I didn't push him." Takuya Mifune said as he raised his chin and nodded to the Nikaido lying next to the electric stove:

"If you want me to say, there's nothing to discuss about this - when he wakes up, ask him who the attacker is, arrest him directly, and we'll sleep until dawn."

Shiraishi also looked at Nikaido.

At this glance, he realized that the elusive spirit had come out again, and was pinching a token-like thing and thrust it into Nikaido's throat.

Soon, the token was completely submerged, the geist disappeared again, and Nikaido spasmed slightly.

The look of wanting to struggle and struggling to move looked a little scary, Bai Shi looked at it for two seconds, and silently looked away.

A few minutes later, everyone reassembled in the hall.

Granny Mi and the two girls brought coffee, and Shiraishi also picked a cup of coffee.

It's getting late, and coffee is a popular pick-me-up drink.

Seeing that everyone else was holding it up and drinking, in order not to be obtrusive, Shiraishi also picked up the cup and dipped it on his lips, of course, he didn't let the coffee into his mouth at all - this is the basic literacy of passerby A to avoid being accidentally injured at the crime scene.

After that, Baishi found a wet towel to wipe his mouth thoroughly, and then he took out his water cup and drank two sips of water to quench his thirst.

After all, this was not a coffee and tea party, and soon several people got to the point, discussing the missing Shijing Lihua and the attacked Nikaido.

Reika Shitsui was not present, and Nikaido naturally became the focus of attention of everyone present.

At this glance, they realized that Nikaido looked a little strange—he had changed from lying flat to lying on his side at some point, curled up slightly, with his back to the sofa, and his posture seemed to be a little painful.

"I don't say a word when I wake up." Taku Mifune also walked over impatiently, wanting to ask about the situation.

However, when he turned the person over and saw the face of Nikaido Yuji clearly, Takuya Mifune screamed violently and almost fell to the ground.

This scream made Conan's face change suddenly, and he rushed over quickly, only to see that Nikaido's mouth and nose were full of oozing white foam, and his heartbeat and breathing had stopped.

Suzuki Sonoko glanced at it from a distance, and there was already a buzz in her head, and she hugged the nearest Mao Lilan with a pale face: "What's the matter?" What's wrong?? Didn't he just be attacked! ”

Mao Lilan also hugged her tremblingly, with the same expression on her face: "No, I don't know!" ”

Several other people surrounded him one after another, and at Conan's suggestion, they gave first aid to Nikaido after drowning, but unfortunately they couldn't save it. This time, the person was completely dead.

Shiraishi held his cheeks and watched among several people, not knowing how this would be judged, but it should be better than murder.

The others couldn't see the geist, and they were just confused.

Osamu Gojo even had doubts about what happened before: "Did he drown when you dragged the man back?" ”

"No way, his breathing and heartbeat had stabilized by then, and I had noticed that no one was near him just now." Conan said solemnly.

He frowned and pondered for a moment, then added: "This is most likely dry drowning - due to the previous exposure to too strong stimulation in the water, after returning to shore, the larynx spasms delayed, resulting in the inability to breathe normally." So even though the person is in the room, the symptoms are still like 'drowning'. However, this rarely happens to adults......"

This rather bizarre situation gave the audience goosebumps.

Takuya Mifune looked at Conan with a hairy look behind his back: "You won't be making it up, will you?" How could a child know so much nonsense? ”

"Ah......" Conan stiffened slightly, touched the back of his head and laughed dryly, and pointed at Shiraishi with his hand, "It's all Uncle Shiraishi..." Seeing Suzuki's suddenly fierce eyes in the distance, he hurriedly changed the suffix, "... My brother taught, ahaha. ”

As he spoke, Conan subconsciously turned his head to look at Shiraishi, and saw that Shiraishi was looking at the void, his eyes a little sloppy.

Although he didn't have any expression on his face, the look in his eyes was ...... It should have been a big blow, it seems that this is the first time he has failed to save people at the scene of the crime.

Conan sighed with some admiration, walked over and patted Shiraishi's shoulder, and whispered comfort: "It's not your responsibility, we will definitely find the murderer." ”

“？” Shiraishi withdrew his gaze from the halfway point of the quest progress bar and watched Conan for a second, vaguely understanding his brain circuit.

So he nodded sadly, "Okay, definitely." ”
