Chapter 56

The people outside the closet had no intention of leaving and even started chatting.

Ishiki Ryosuke crossed his arms impatiently: "Have you looked enough? How could someone hide in a place like this? I haven't seen you for these years and you've become less courageous, Kanao."

Kurokawa Akishige's eyes froze for a moment, and he subconsciously looked at Amuro Toru, then whispered, "They actually know each other?"

It was obvious that Toru Amuro had already understood something. He calmly gestured to Kurokawa Akishige to continue listening.

Kurokawa Akishige adjusted his posture and listened attentively to the discussion outside.

"Your annoying energy hasn't changed at all." Saikawa Yoshino sneered and retorted sarcastically.

"Did you do anything about the village?"

Ishiki Ryosuke casually waved his hand: "How is that possible? Although I really want that key, how can I possibly kill someone?"

Kurokawa Akiho sensed something was amiss in the other person's words. He cautiously moved closer to Amuro Toru's position and silently asked, "Is he lying?"

The movements were slow, and when he got close, his soft hair brushed against his cheek.

Amuro Toru's purple-gray eyes moved slightly, and he slowly nodded under Kurokawa Akifumi's expectant gaze.

After receiving the detective's confirmation, the cat's blue eyes were filled with joy of seeing the truth, and they were still bright and clear in the darkness.

According to the current situation, the murderer who killed Murauchi Ichiro is most likely Ishiki Ryosuke.

Is it because of the key?

"Jianao, the village is gone. In the current situation, we should join forces, right? Otherwise, be careful not to overeat because of your big appetite." There was a malicious tone in Ishiki Ryosuke's voice.

Shimanaka Naoto frowned and spoke up, "We agreed that whoever finds the treasure first gets it, based on their own abilities. Why are you suddenly going back on your word now? That's not your style."

Saikawa Yoshino: "What are you worried about? Are you worried that the police will come tomorrow and find out about what you did ten years ago?"

Ishiki Ryosuke's expression suddenly darkened. "Don't forget, you were also involved in what happened ten years ago. If the police really find out, no one will be able to escape."

"Should we all get the treasure together, or wait for the police to come and die together? I advise you to think carefully."

The air became stagnant and Saikawa Yoshino remained silent for a long time.

The light outside the cabinet was still on, but there was no sound for a long time. Kurokawa Akishige couldn't help but think of the case that happened in this hotel ten years ago.

He pricked up his ears to listen more carefully.

Saikawa Yoshino was silent for a long time, and after weighing the pros and cons in her mind, she took a step back.

After the four of them reached an agreement, they left the room while discussing.

Kurokawa Akishige could only hear their discussion and footsteps gradually fading away.

Apart from the blurred-out case from ten years ago and the key to the treasure, no useful information was heard.

He was scratching his head a little, really wanting to know where the treasure was.

Suddenly, Kurokawa Akishige paused, thinking that Amuro Toru must have heard more and might know something.

Kurokawa Akishige's eyes flashed. To prevent Saikawa Yoshino and the others from hearing the sound, he leaned close to Amuro Toru's ear and called out his name in a low voice: "Mr. Amuro."

The two of them were too close, the heat from their conversation brushed against their ears, and their hair rubbed against their cheeks, bringing a faint itch.

Amuro Toru was stunned for a moment, and his Adam's apple involuntarily pressed down.

"Have you heard anything about treasure before?"

There was an eagerness in his tone that couldn't be ignored.

Toru Amuro: "..."

In the dim cabinet, the faint light from the barrage just illuminated the discomfort on Toru Amuro's face.

[Their postures aaaaaaa——!]

【If you can draw, draw more! 】

[The principal sits on Touko's lap, rounding it up to *! ]

【Is this also blocked? 】

The manga is clearer than the anime. The veins on Touko's arms are bulging in the manga.

[This skin color difference is too colorful! ]

Kurokawa Akishige looked at the barrage of comments that were almost invisible, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He had seen this type of barrage when he was watching anime before.

Although he has seen this many times when watching anime, Kurokawa Akishige still feels complicated when this situation happens to him.

"have."

Toru Amuro loosened his hand, and after confirming that Saikawa Yoshino and the others had completely gone far away, the two of them came out of the narrow cabinet.

Kurokawa Akishige's arm felt a little sore, so he rubbed his wrist.

"Judging from the information revealed in their words, the treasure should be in the basement," said Toru Amuro.

"In the basement..." Kurokawa Akishige recalled the moment he fell into the basement. Every room was filled with rum and he didn't know how to express his feelings.

This doesn't look like there's treasure at all.

Just as he was thinking, there was a slight electric sound in the air, and Edogawa Conan's voice came out intermittently.

"Mr. Amuro, I found Sister Sonoko. I'll send her back and meet up with you later."

Kurokawa Akiwa was stunned for a moment: "Is this Conan's voice? But isn't there no signal in the basement?"

Amuro Toru took out the detective badge and said, "Conan gave it to me to communicate in the basement. I don't know why my phone's signal was cut off, but this badge was still able to communicate. This Dr. Agasa is really amazing."

Kurokawa Akimoto nodded in agreement. The detective badge that looked like a child's toy was actually useful at a time like this.

"It's a pity to think that the treasure will be taken away by these people." Kurokawa Akishige sighed.

Amuro Toru looked at the dejected Kurokawa Akiwa beside him, his eyelids drooping, and replied firmly: "No, if we investigate all the truth, they will get the punishment they deserve."

"But I still feel that this matter is a bit inconsistent." It's as if there is something hiding behind the whole thing, like a yellow bird.

"Mr. Amuro, Risa Fuyukawa has been murdered."

The electric current sound rang out again.

Amuro Toru's expression darkened.

Kurokawa Akifumi's pupils contracted, and he asked in surprise, "Isn't Ishiki Ryosuke the murderer who killed the villagers? He's still in the basement. Is there a second murderer?"

"Let's go back first." said Toru Amuro.

The basement was connected to various rooms. After finding the connecting tunnel and triggering the mechanism, Kurokawa Akishige reached out and grabbed the ladder. The area on his arm where the white bandage was wrapped became obvious with the movement.

There was a hint of red in Amuro Toru's eyes and he frowned slightly: "The wound has split open?"

Kurokawa Akiwa was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted. He shook his hands and said, "When it fell, I exerted force with my hands and that's what happened."

When Toru Amuro and Akifusa Kurokawa rushed to Risa Fuyukawa's room from the basement, many people had already gathered at the door.

The same modus operandi as Murauchi Ichiro, a fatal stab in the back, the door was ajar and not locked. This time, it was discovered that the person who killed Risa Fuyukawa was Ran Mouri.

Maori Kogoro scratched his head in pain: "This murderer really doesn't take me, a famous detective, seriously, right?"

"Isn't Mr. Shimu here yet?"

Hondo Daisuke said in embarrassment: "I have contacted them, maybe something delayed them."

"Is there anything more important than the murder of my girlfriend?" Kogoro Mouri was a little angry.

Edogawa Conan looked at the elderly butler a few more times.

Maori Kogoro asked: "Mr. Hondo, are there any other guests in the hotel?"

Daisuke Honto: "There's a guest who's been living here for a long time. He usually leaves early and comes back late. He was supposed to check out today, but I haven't been able to contact him. Maybe he's already left."

"Could you please retrieve this customer's information?" Maori Kogoro said in a serious tone, "Two people have been murdered. This is a serious matter. We need your cooperation to thoroughly find the murderer."

Hondo Daisuke hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Okay."

When Hondo Daisuke pulled up the information of the last customer, Kurokawa Akishige also leaned over to take a look.

If nothing unexpected happens, the last guest is Rum.

The retrieved information contained a photo, and as he had guessed, one of the eyes was covered.

After seeing the photo clearly, a hint of surprise flashed in Amuro Toru's eyes.

How did Rum get here?

After seeing the room number, Edogawa Conan rushed up first.

He stood in front of the door and raised his hand to knock on it, but there was no sound in the room.

Edogawa Conan frowned, changed his way of knocking on the door and said in a baby voice: "Sister Xiaolan, please open the door quickly, I want to go to the bathroom."

There was still no sound from inside the door.

It's so strange, why would anyone go out in this kind of weather?

Moreover, Butler Ben Teng was also very suspicious. It was obvious that Ishiki and others had been in the basement and there was no way to get in touch with them, but he did not say it. Instead, he took the initiative to cover for them.

Just as Edogawa Conan was lost in thought, a mechanical beeping sound came from above his head.

He quickly looked up and found that Kurokawa Akifusa was holding the room card and had opened the closed door in front of him.

Edogawa Conan was stunned: "Where did the room card come from?"

"Mr. Hondo gave it to me." Kurokawa Akishige opened the door and walked straight in.

According to Butler Bento, Rum was expected to check out at noon today, but strangely he saw him at seven o'clock.

Edogawa Conan hurriedly followed in and looked around the room.

The interior structure of the hotel suites is the same, but the only difference is that there is no painting of pirates in this suite.

The entire suite was so clean as if no one had ever lived there, and Kurokawa Akishige didn't find anything related to rum.

Except for the round table near the balcony, there was an opened bottle of wine.

Kurokawa Akiho picked up the bottle, looked at it carefully, and whispered softly, "Rum?"

Dark rum in the basement.

"What?" Edogawa Conan turned his head in surprise when he suddenly heard the familiar words.

There was an empty wine glass and a full wine glass on the round table, with a note under the glass.

[To my friends who have come from afar.]

Edogawa Conan subconsciously observed his surroundings.

Why is Rum here? Who is this drink for? Could what happened on Mori Island also be related to the Black Organization?

Just when Edogawa Conan was brainstorming, Kurokawa Akiho picked up the glass of rum and poured the rum into the potted plant next to him without any hesitation.

"This guy is really wasteful. He can't finish the drink but still takes up two cups."

He heard Kurokawa Akifumi mutter a few words and put the empty wine glass back.

Edogawa Conan: “…?”
