"And...... I heard a strange noise, it was coming from inside the car......"

Hattori was still puzzled by what he had heard just now, because he was sure that it was definitely not the sound of the air conditioner.

If it was an air conditioner, there should be coolant water flowing under the tires, and he and the bespectacled imp had already confirmed that there was no such trace on the car's route.

Damn, he just couldn't figure it out, what the hell was that sound...... If you can figure this out, you may be able to know the murderer's methods.........

"I think let's make sure where we were at the time of the incident."

Tojuken pushed his glasses and proposed, because to start the car, from the current point of view, it should not be possible for the innkeeper above to start it himself, there must be someone who started the car and then left there.

In this way, Katayama, Ran, Hattori, Conan, Hitomi Iwai, as well as him and Ayako Oki, who were in the hall at the time, had a perfect alibi.

On the other hand, Toshiaki Fujisawa, Maria Toda and Nanako Shimizu, who left the hall and returned to the room, are quite suspicious.

"Hmph...... Hahahaha........."

Just as everyone was thinking about what they were doing, Ayako Oki, who had been silent, suddenly burst out laughing.

It made everyone a little confused......

"Sorry, I already know, who the murderer is......... and the methods he used......... I've figured it all out! ”

Under the stunned eyes of everyone, Ayako Oki calmly took out a lighter, lit a cigarette and put it in her mouth.

Hattori and Conan were equally surprised, because even they hadn't figured out who the murderer would be, and this woman should not be bluffing.

Everyone's eyes were on Ayako Oki, but no one noticed that Katayama was no longer in the hall, but walked outside.........

"Really...... Zorro, where the hell did he go......"

Because he heard Ayako Oki say that he knew who the murderer was, he thought that he should solve the case.

In this case, the murderer should be one of those people in the hall, and it has nothing to do with him, so let's find Zorro first.

According to what he knew about Zorro, it should have gone to find some clues on its own, but unfortunately, this time the girl deduced first.

With that in mind, Katayama walked towards the garage.

Because it was an important crime scene, Katayama felt that Zorro should be there nine times out of ten.

Sure enough, when I got there, I saw that Zorro was lying on the hood, flipping through a book...... To be precise, it was the precious first physical Sherlock Holmes book prepared by the innkeeper.

How can it be in your hands?

Katayama hurriedly walked over and snatched the book, which may be important evidence! How can you just touch it.

Of course, he used a handkerchief to keep his hands in direct contact with the books.

Maybe there are murderer's fingerprints on it, but if his fingerprints are glued, it won't be clear at that time.

"Meow!"

Zorro pointed to the inside of the car and yelled at Katayama, as if to tell him that the book should have been found inside the car.

"Are you supposed to ...... Guess who the killer is......"

Katayama looked at Zoro, this is a case that Hattori and Conan haven't figured out yet, can this cat really go to heaven?

Zorro nodded excitedly, then turned around and ran towards the hotel.

Katayama had no choice but to follow............

He originally wanted to say that this case has been solved by Ayako Oki, and there is no need to run around anymore.

But seeing Zorro so excited, he didn't want to ruin the fun, so he just went along and had a look.

…………

At this time, the others were gathered at the door of the women's restroom, because Ayako Oki left if she didn't want to be directly exposed, she confessed to her guilt and threatened the murderer so she left directly.

As a boyfriend, Totenken also immediately went out to inquire about the murderer, but there was no result.

In the end, because Oki Ayako didn't come out of the toilet for dozens of minutes, everyone was worried that she would have an accident, so they came to the women's toilet to check.

However, what awaited them was the blank look on Ayako Oki when she walked out of the toilet.

"You ...... What are you doing in the women's restroom........."

She wasn't killed, it looked like she was really just trying to go to the bathroom.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Miss Oki, you said you already know who the murderer is, can you tell us now!"

Toshiaki Fujisawa immediately said anxiously that he wanted to find out the truth of the matter now, and then find a way to get out of this ghost place.

As long as they knew who the murderer was, all of them would not be so agitated.

"Oh...... Well, I thought about it again, and it seemed like I had made a mistake...... I'm sorry~"

Ayako Oki folded her hands in an apology, and there was a hint of playfulness in her tone.

However, two words crossed out in everyone's hearts————That's it?

Sure enough, is it just a bluff hoping that the murderer will take the bait...... Only fools will be fooled.

Everyone, including Hattori, thought so............

…………

"It's so late......"

The people who returned to the hall sat back down on the couch.

Because the murderer is likely to be among them, everyone does not dare to act on their own.

"By the way, what about Mr. Katayama?"

Hattori suddenly discovers that Katayama and the cat that helped him are gone.

"I remember, he said that Zorro was gone, so he went out to look for it......"

Xiaolan replied on the side, and everyone suddenly looked at each other, how big is this guy's heart, he dares to go out alone to find a cat in such a tense environment as a dead man!

Because Katayama has a perfect alibi, and he has no intersection with the innkeeper at all, everyone does not list him as a suspect, but only laments his lack of heart.

"Hey, Ayako, where are you going......"

Tojuken's voice sounded again, and Conan turned his head to see that Ayako Oki had already opened the door of the hall and was walking out.

"Me? I want to go out and blow the wind alone, there's nothing wrong with it, right? ”

The implication was that the murderer was among those who did not have an alibi, and as long as they remained in the hall, there was no danger for her to go out.

"This ........."

Everyone is speechless, and this does make some sense.

After saying that, she didn't care about everyone's attitude, and walked towards the outside of the hotel by herself.

…………

"I see......... You want to express this......"

Katayama sat upstairs in a room with a handkerchief holding a blank exam paper...... The door to the room was wide open, and Zoro was lying on the side with a wire in his mouth, afraid that he had picked the lock directly to let Katayama in......

Just as he was about to take the evidence down and hand it over to everyone...... Suddenly there was a loud explosion outside the house.........

Is it a garage?!
