Chapter 162 The Detective's Job

"Uh..." Conan stammered, his eyes turning into beady pupils.

"That's because..." He recounted the radio broadcast he had heard in the car, then looked at Qianzhu with a sincere expression.

Qianzhu smiled and poked his forehead, dodging the little grim reaper's 'cute foolproof' move. "What's wrong? Even a famous detective can be blinded by love and forget that telephones even exist?"

Upon hearing this, Conan, whose face was flushed with fever, turned even redder. "Um... that's because... I was afraid you wouldn't be able to answer my calls! Yes! That's why!"

"Oh, I see. The great detective is so thoughtful." Chizuru's 'I believe you' expression almost made Conan cower like a quail.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Do you suspect that the Shadow Mage is among us?"

Qianzhu reached out and rubbed Conan's head, then lifted it up.

As the topic shifted, Conan's expression instantly turned serious. "I'm not sure, but the radio said that the Shadow Mage would also be at this gathering. However... that person just now might also be the Shadow Mage."

Qianzhu nodded.

"By the way, where are Ran and the others?" Conan asked suddenly after looking around the room.

"..." Qianzhu glanced at him silently, then stood up. "They're downstairs. Shall we go check on them?"

As he spoke, he picked up Conan and carried him out of the room.

Conan: !

"I can walk by myself, Brother Qianzhu! Uh oh, I mean, Qianzhu!"

He kept shouting, but perhaps because he was still sick and had no strength, or perhaps because he was considering Qianzhu's physical condition, he did not struggle.

"Looks like you've gotten used to being a kid, Conan-kun," Chizuru teased him.

Conan nestled in his arms, looking resentful.

The two went downstairs and overheard them talking about the dormitory head, the escape master.

Then Conan said, "He can't come, because he's been killed in his apartment."

His voice drew everyone's attention, and they turned to look at him.

"Conan, Chizuru? What are you doing down here?"

Ran came to Chizuru's side, reached out and touched Conan's forehead, and breathed a slight sigh of relief when she didn't feel any increase in temperature.

You're saying he was killed?

What's going on?

Everyone's face showed shock.

Qianzhu glanced down at the battle-damaged little corgi who was still in pain, and then told him everything he wanted to say.

"In that case, we have to tell Hamano about this!" Araki said with a hint of panic.

The group rushed to Hamano's room, but when they opened the door, they found it empty, and the windows were wide open, letting in a biting cold wind.

Chizuru carried Conan to the balcony and looked at the body lying in the snow in the distance. He said to Conan, "Conan, look over there."

Conan looked up and his pupils suddenly contracted.

How is that possible!

Chizuru followed behind them with Conan, then stopped about five meters away from the corpse.

After confirming that Hamano was dead, Doito stopped anyone else from approaching.

This is an impossible crime.

"The deceased was strangled by the murderer with a thin rope or something similar, and then the body was somehow transported to this place. Moreover, this murderer is located near the villa."

Doito analyzed in a serious voice.

She's the one who stole the detective's job!

"Although it's inconvenient to read comments right now, I still hope everyone can be a little more active (serious) (serious)."
