Chapter 7: The Sherlock Holmes Murder (4)
"Well, while waiting, let's find something to pass the time!" Lin Fei knew that this estimate would take a long time, so he proposed to everyone.
"That's right, Miss Iwai, is there any poker or Go in the villa?" Toshiaki Fujisawa said.
"Hey, there seem to be a few decks of poker in the villa, and there is also a chess deck, chess from China!"
Miss Iwai hurriedly pulled out 3 decks of poker and chess from the living room.
"Great, that helped! Right? Conan. Xiaolan said happily.
"Uh......," Conan replied.
Everyone began to play poker at the table, and it is worth mentioning that in addition to Lin Fei, only Hattori Heiji could play chess, so Lin Fei and Hattori Heiji began to fight. Of course, Lin Fei estimated that Conan would also play, but he didn't dare to play, after all, it was too terrifying for a Japanese elementary school student to play Chinese chess.
05:00 a.m., villa. Hiroyuki Kanaya still didn't show up, and the crowd who had been waiting for hours couldn't stand it anymore.
Toshiaki Fujisawa threw down the cards in his hand and said angrily: "It's so unusual, I can't wait." He stood up, "I'm going back to my room to rest." ”
"It seems that those rumors are true, and what test prize is the first printed version of the novel, it is all a lie. Every time he came up with some weird puzzle that no one could get all right, and at the end of the day, the purpose of the tour was to show off the book. The soothsayer was tired from playing cards for so long, so he put down his cards as well: "I'm sorry, I think I'll have to go back and rest." With that, he left.
Nanako Shimizu and Ikuo Kawazu said, "Then I'll go back too." With that, he left, and Hitomi Iwai was helpless about it.
"What the hell, I'm going to sleep too." Maori, who was extremely bored, couldn't bear to go back to the room.
Lan asked, "Conan, what are you going to do?" ”
Conan smiled, "Sister Lan, I still have to stay here." ”
"What, Hattori, are you going to wait? You're not a Sherlock Holmes fan! Lin Fei asked curiously.
Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes, he is indeed not a fan of Sherlock Holmes, and he is not interested in the so-called first edition of the book, but isn't this Lin Fei here, he is trying to use the next reasoning competition as the topic, and Lin Fei will have a reasoning duel: "Of course, I am very interested in the next reasoning competition, it is said that so far, no one has completely solved the problem, and it is called an impossible problem." The thought of this makes my detective blood completely unstoppable. What's more, I lost so badly, how could I just give up like this! ”
Lin Fei nodded, indeed, although Hattori Heiji is not a Sherlock Holmes fan, as a detective, it is impossible for him not to be interested in those reasoning problems made by the host. What Lin Fei didn't expect was that now Hattori Heiji had made a duel with him a top priority.
"Okay, then let's move on!" To tell the truth, although Hattori Heiji can play Chinese chess, his level is too much worse than Lin Fei, a pure Chinese, and they played one night, and Hattori Heiji only won five. However, as the number of times they played increased, Hattori's chess level also increased rapidly, and now Hattori can already play with Lin Fei, which has to make Lin Fei secretly sigh that the genius is really unreasonable.
Less than 2:25 a.m., with the defeat of another game of chess, Hattori Heiji yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said to himself, "No, I seem to have reached the limit." ”
Ayako Oki said, "Kento, I think we should go back to the room too." ”
"Wait a minute, whoever leaves at this time will lose first." Kento Toba said with a smile. "Mr. Kanaya can't figure out where he's hiding to observe us." As he spoke, he casually looked out the window and noticed a car driving outside, "That's, that's not the car we sat in when we came." ”
Looking at a man dressed as Sherlock Holmes sitting in the driver's seat of the car, Ayako Oki said, "It's the host." As he spoke, he walked to the window, "It's the organizer who is driving." ”
Everyone in the room followed and stood by the window, and Kento Toba smiled, "Look, isn't this the beginning of the reasoning test?" The question of reasoning begins. ”
Ayako Oki smiled: "It's really amazing to be the chairman of the research institute." Then he found the car driving towards the cliff opposite the villa, and exclaimed, "Wait a minute......
Kento Toba said in surprise, "It seems to be a cliff over there. ”
"Oops!" Hattori Heiji hurriedly opened the window and jumped out first, followed by Conan and Lin Fei.
"No, it's getting faster." Hattori Heiji struggled to catch up, and shouted while knocking on the glass in the driver's seat: "Uncle, what are you doing, if you don't stop, you're going to fall." "Then he was overtaken by a car that suddenly became faster.
Conan jumped up and grabbed the rearview mirror on the driver's seat, leaned on the glass and looked in, and found that the car's control panel was covered with a towel, and he heard a sound, but it was certain that it was not the sound of the engine. Lin Fei on the side saw that the car had reached the edge of the cliff, and hurriedly lifted Conan, who was still lying on the car.
Lin Fei, Conan, and Hattori Heiji watched the car fall down the cliff, and a moment later, an explosion sounded, and a fire appeared under the cliff at the same time. ……
===============================================================
In front of the villa, the awakened people gathered on the edge of the cliff and were shocked to hear the news of the innkeeper's death.
"No, how can this be, boss......" Iwai couldn't believe it.
"It's a suicide, a suicide," said Maori, yawning, "and he was reluctant to let you get the first copy of Sherlock Holmes!" ”
"No, it can't be, this sentence is logically wrong." Lin Fei objected: "And as long as you let the organizer fall asleep in advance, or simply kill him, fix him on the seat of the car, and then hang the car in the forward gear, so that the car will start automatically, and the organizer can be sent to the cliff with the car and people!" ”
"Well, that's right, it's worth saying that I think the murderer is probably preparing in the garage where he parked." Kento Toba nodded and added.
"So, the prisoners are probably among us?" The soothsayer asked.
"yes, it should be!" Kento Toba pushed his glasses and said confidently.
"But why does the car suddenly accelerate in the middle of the process?" Heiji Hattori asked, "And it's also a little strange, there is a strange sound like wind coming from inside the car, and I can be sure that it is not the sound of the engine." ”
"Ah, it must be the sound of the air conditioner, it must have been turned off in the first place, but as soon as the engine was started, it blew automatically."
"All in all, it's impossible to get the body back, and we have to call the police now and wait for the police to deal with it," Maori said. ”
"By the way, Miss Iwai, do you know where our mobile phones are put by the organizers?" Lin Fei asked.
"Ah, it should be put in the master's room!" Hitomi Iwai said as she ran towards the villa.
Lan found Conan lying on the ground and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?" ”
"I'm looking for something." Conan said.
Lin Fei reminded: "Be careful. Before the words fell, the two heads of Conan and Hattori Heiji collided together.
"It hurts! Damn, optimistic about this little ghost. Hattori Heiji picked up Conan and threw him into Ran's arms.
"What are you doing?" Xiaolan asked.
"Ah, I'm just looking to see if the car is air-conditioned! As a result, I ...... with this little ghost again" Hattori Heiji was halfway through speaking, when he suddenly seemed to remember something, he looked at Conan and was silent for a while.
"It's too dark to see clearly!" Conan broke free from Ran's grasp and rejoined the search.
"Is that okay?" Ayako Oki lit up a lighter and said, "Two young Mr. Detectives? ”
"Ah, thank you!" Heiji Hattori said.
At this time, Iwai Hitomi ran over in a panic, "Oh no, the phone has been destroyed, and the first printed version of the novel seems to be gone." "What?" Everyone was taken aback, hurriedly returned to the villa, and after entering the host's room, they found that the safe was wide open, empty inside, and on the ground in front of it was a destroyed mobile phone. "Damn, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to drive another car out of this place right away." Toshiaki Fujisawa shouted.
"No way!" Heiji Hattori came over from behind at this time and said, "I just saw that the car parked in the garage has a big hole in the fuel tank, and all the gasoline in it has been drained, and even the batteries have been removed, and the car can't move at all now, and has become a pile of scrap metal." ”
"No, it won't!" Xiaolan muttered.
"Sure enough, the organizer was killed!" Kento Toba asked, "Isn't that right?" Mr. Detective. ”
"Well, so to speak." Lin Fei nodded: "Although I don't know what method the murderer used to make the car accelerate, the organizer was indeed murdered!" ”
"And it can be seen from the murderer's actions of destroying the phone and smashing another car that the murderer seems to want to continue to kill!" Hattori Heiji said sternly.
"All in all," Maori concluded, "the culprit is one of us, and if we look closely, we can find out!" ”
"By the way, I remember, the security camera might have captured something." Ikuo Kawazu said.
Hitomi Iwai came back and said, "I'm sorry, but those monitors are fake, fake machines that are only installed every year when tour groups come. ”
"Anyway, we found out that the car started around half past two in the morning, and I, Ran, this little ghost, Mr. Kento Toba, Miss Ayako Oki, Miss Hitomi Iwai, and Lin Fei were all here all along." Heiji Hattori said, "So it's impossible for us to do this. ”
"Hey, then you mean that the murderer is a few of us who were not in the living room at the time." Toshiaki Fujisawa said.
Maori dissatisfied, "Please, don't count me in, okay?" ”
"Nope! In my opinion, with some kind of mechanism, even if you stay in the living room with us, you can complete the crime! Lin Fei said loudly: "Because, before dinner today, we are all in our respective rooms, so that we have enough time to set up the organs." In other words, every one of us in the villa has the potential to sin! ”
"Some kind of mechanism? What is it? Hattori Heiji was a little confused.
"Well, I'm already a little eyebrow-raising, but I can't say it yet!" Lin Fei said with a smile.
"What, this guy." Just when Hattori Heiji was secretly angry, Ayako Oki walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "The one you were looking for just now, did you find it?" ”
"No, not at all!" Hattori shook his head.
"Really? I see. Ayako Oki laughed proudly, "I already know the identity of the murderer and the method of killing." "Ding!" Light a cigarette with a lighter: "Including conclusive evidence." ”
"What did you say!" The crowd was taken aback.
Enjoying everyone's gaze, she slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette, and Ayako Oki smiled proudly: "I'll give that person ten minutes to think about it, if you don't want your name to come out of my mouth, then ask him to confess to you here before that." So saying, he walked out.
Kento Toba hurriedly asked, "Ayako, where are you going?" ”
"Go to the bathroom." Ayako Oki said with a smile.
Kento Toba said nervously: "Stupid, stupid, it will be life-threatening to go out alone now." ”
Ayako Oki smiled and asked, "Then will you protect me?" With that, he opened the door and left.
"Ayako!" Kento Toba took the door and chased him out.
Only everyone in the living room looked at each other......
