Chapter 162 Rounding

“…”

This topic hits the sore spot of all the young talents.

They shook their heads, not wanting to talk about the "engagement" and "son-in-law" anymore: "Anyway, we have cooperation with the Shijing family. Now that Miss Lihua is missing, we must try our best to find her - search the villa carefully again. Maybe we just missed her. This villa is very large and there are many places to hide people."

"Okay." Others had no objection.

…

It is not an easy task to find a person who is deliberately hiding in such a big house, and Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko are not idle either.

"Mifune and Gojo, search the second floor and the attic. There are fewer things up there, so it will be quicker to find them. We should be able to finish the search." Rokuda Masashi thought about the layout of the villa, "Ichieda Takashi and I will be in charge of the west side of the first floor, using the middle staircase as the boundary."

Then he looked at the remaining three high school students, especially the two weak-looking girls: "Just search the east side of the first floor. It's the brightest and safest there."

There was one sentence that no one said out loud, but everyone had a vague premonition in their hearts:

The murderer is likely among them.

In addition, someone just now creatively said, "Why can't Miss Reika be the murderer?" This sounds incredible at first, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense - Shii Reika is a high-ranking lady, but because of the grace of saving her life, she was forced to be tied to Nikaidou. Maybe one day she will suddenly get tired of it and go to extremes.

So when searching, a group of people are divided into groups of two, which is the safest way.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko look too weak, so they are counted as one person and search together with Jiang Xia. Conan is an elementary school student and can be ignored... In short, the number of people is just right.

A group of people gradually dispersed and prepared to search everywhere.

Jiang Xia took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and held onto the back of the sofa.

Mao Lilan saw it with sharp eyes and came over to help him: "What's wrong?"

"I suddenly feel uncomfortable..." Jiang Xia muttered in a low voice. He leaned against the sofa, sat down slowly, and asked for sick leave skillfully.

"It's because you got caught in the rain just now." Granny Mi found a small blanket from somewhere, walked over with it, and covered Jiang Xia with it. She said in a vicissitudes of life, "Young man, don't underestimate the power of nature."

"..." Jiang Xia did not comment on the old man's experience. He closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep quickly.

Suzuki Sonoko touched Jiang Xia's forehead.

Then she carefully reached down and touched his face and neck. After a while, she felt that the temperature was normal. She asked in confusion, "But he doesn't have a fever."

Conan looked at Jiang Xia, thoughtfully: He remembered the tragic death of Nikaido Yuji lying beside the fountain pool just now - come to think of it, that posture of kneeling beside the pool with the upper body leaning forward really looked like the scene of cutting wrists in the bathroom... Could it be that just like the last "Sherlock Holmes Journey", Jiang Xia was triggered by some memories and entered the idle mode without permission?

"Let's search the east side of the first floor and let Brother Jiang Xia rest here." Conan didn't think it was a big problem.

He touched the anesthesia watch on his wrist. Although he felt that this was not good, he couldn't help but get excited secretly - the reliable teammate suddenly went offline, so this case would be handed over to him, Kudo Shinichi!
