The sudden death of Nikaido Yuji escalated the severity of the situation in an instant.

Under Conan's questioning, several insiders were silent for a long time, and finally confessed the accident they had mentioned.

Two years ago, members of the yacht club were visiting a small island when they were caught in a storm.

The island would be completely submerged at high tide, and the only way to avoid the waves was to return to the yacht, but a group of people ran to the boat in a panic, and when they counted the number of people, they found that Reika Yotsui was not on board.

The sea is speeding over the island, and it won't be long before the islanders are swept into the water.

Most of the people were silent, not daring to ask for it, but Nanao Yaeko felt that if she rushed over decisively, Rika Shitsui should still be saved, so she went with a rubber boat.

"Half a day later, the storm subsided, and we found the eldest lady, who was rescued by Nikaido, who was traveling alone and fishing in the nearby sea. But we couldn't find Yaeko until three days later...... We saw her body floating on the surface of the sea. ”

After being soaked in water for so many days, the corpse looked very unsightly, Rao is a calm person like Rokuta Shoji, and his voice gradually became weak at this moment, and he held the hot coffee in both hands, trying to suppress the cool air coming out of his back.

After two years, the memory inevitably faded somewhat, and it was not a pleasant memory, and several people did not go into too much detail.

Conan struggled to analyze the information contained in this past.

Takuya Mifune realized: "Maybe something happened at that time that we didn't know about, causing Miss Shitsui to want to destroy Nikaido...... My reasoning was correct! ”

…… Reasoning a ball, you are obviously guessing. Shiraishi sneered and yawned against the couch.

Most of the other people are also a joke when Taku Mifune is also a joke. But regardless of whether the murderer is Lihua Shijing or not, in the absence of other clues, several people can only try to find her first.

Conan actually had a bad premonition - although the figure he saw by the fountain before was blurry, it should be a man, not Reika Shijing.

Reika Yotsui has been missing for so long, most likely dead and stuffed in a corner of the villa. Conan couldn't directly say that people should find the body, so he had to use a more euphemistic expression:

"Let's search the villa carefully again, this time as if it were hide and seek, and we can't let go of any corner."

Rokuta Shoji nodded in agreement, and in addition, he fully learned the lesson of Nikaido: "The murderer may also be hiding among us, so in order to prevent being attacked, let's not be too scattered, so let's divide into two teams and supervise each other's search." ”

While the others had finished their cups of coffee in a few sips and began to divide the search area, Shiraishi sat next to him, feeling that his condition was not quite right.

…… He's getting sleepy.

Although it is true that it is not early now, for a late-night player, twelve o'clock in the evening is still like the dawn of the rising sun, and it is time to get up and have a good time.

What's more, he pretended to be asleep and lay down for so long before, why shouldn't he be sleepy like this, and his eyes couldn't be opened.

Bai Shi forced himself to open the light screen, glanced at his blood bar in the upper left corner, and was shocked to find that at some point, there was a small red box underneath.

stared at it for two seconds, and the text surfaced next to it:

【Poisoning - Powerful Sleeping Pills】

“？？？”

It's not scientific!

As a sleeping pill, this effect is too good, if there is really any manufacturer that can mass produce it...... No, no, no, now is not the time to think about that.

Shiraishi slapped two handfuls on his face, barely clearing up his sleepy and vague thoughts.

While the attention of others was still focused on the floor plan of the villa, Shiraishi took the opportunity to take out a few emergency antidotes prepared by Butterfly Shinobi from his backpack and knocked them like jelly beans.

Anti-venom ......

Useless.

Anti-insect ......

Still useless.

After knocking five or six kinds in a row, the buff of sleeping pills has never disappeared, and the new buff [is a three-point poison] has appeared, and the caption next to it tells him that after the new buff is full, there will be unpredictable consequences.

Shiraishi could only stop his mouth.

…… It's too pitiful, so what kind of poison should sleeping pills be considered for meowing!

At this time, the first few people finally finished the team.

Suzuki Sonoko successfully assigned to a team with Shiraishi, she folded her arms pitifully, and just wanted to say with tears in her eyes, "You must protect your family." As a result, when I turned around, I saw Baishi sitting on the sofa, his face buried in his hands, looking like he wanted to sleep and refused to fall.

…… It looked so miserable that Suzuki Sonoko's brewing lines just reached her mouth, and she clicked and chewed and swallowed it back.

She approached, raised her hands and patted Bai Shi on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Sleep with confidence!" I'll definitely get Reika Yotsui back! It seems that she and Takuya Mifune have the same idea.

Shiraishi struggled to look at her, and moved his mouth, wanting to say you guys go, leave Maolilan for me, but unfortunately he couldn't spit out clear words.

Conan didn't understand what he was talking about, so he had to join in his understanding: "Don't force it, you've done enough, leave it to us next." ”

"......" I didn't mean that......

Sonoko Suzuki watched Shiraishi slowly fall asleep on the sofa, and always felt that something was wrong: "...... Why do you feel that Ritsuki slept so reluctantly this time? In the past, it was all about falling down. ”

Mao Lilan remembered the state of Kudo Shinichi when he investigated the case before, and had some understanding: "There was a case, and he felt uncomfortable." ”

"Alas......"

Leaving Granny Mi to take care of Shiraishi, the others began to look for Yotsui Reika as planned.

Behind them, in the shadows under the couch, two glowing cat's eyes flickered.

Waiting for the group to leave, the black cat sighed very humanely.

…… At a critical time, you really have to rely on yourself.

It's only midnight, and the cat and the mask can last for three and a half hours. Hopefully, by that time the time limit for sleeping pills has run out, or that the case will be successfully concluded......

The main body's sleep buff does not affect the mask, and Shiraishi is now very awake.
