The next day, when Fang Zheng and Conan left the guest room and came to the hall, they saw Ushiromiya Natsuhime and the servant Genji who looked hurried.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Ah, Mr. Founder."

Seeing Fang Zheng, Ushiromiya Xia Fei restrained her slightly anxious expression.

"Excuse me, may I ask if you have seen my husband?"

"No, we just got up."

“I see… I’m sorry…”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng and Conan looked at each other.

"What happened?"

"That's right."

At this time, the servant Genji, who was standing behind Ushiromiya Natsuhime, began to explain on behalf of his master.

"Last night, there was a thunderstorm and the telephone broke down. Then this morning when we went to the kitchen, we found that Chef Goto, who was supposed to make breakfast for everyone, was missing. Not only him, but the master was also gone. And Mr. Lefevre and Ms. Balza were nowhere to be found... and Sain was also..."

"Can't find anyone at all?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng frowned.

"It's impossible that they all went out for a morning run or morning exercises."

"We were planning to head to the courtyard to look for it."

"I understand. I'll help look for it too... Conan, you stay here."

"OK."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Conan nodded, and then Fang Zheng took the umbrella and left the villa with Genci and Jiayin and headed for the courtyard.

The storm still showed no sign of stopping at this moment. The bean-sized raindrops mixed with the wind were rushing towards us, making people squint their eyes involuntarily.

"It's too bad to go out for morning exercise in this weather."

Fang Zheng was walking in the courtyard holding an umbrella and looking around. However, there was nothing to be seen except the wind, rain and swaying trees... Huh?

"What's that over there?"

Fang Zheng pointed to a small house not far away, and Jiayin hurriedly answered when she heard Fang Zheng's question.

"That's a warehouse, mainly used to store gardening tools..."

"No, I knew that at a glance. What I mean is..."

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed towards the warehouse door.

"What's that on that door?"

"Why?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Jiayin looked carefully and found that on the door of the warehouse, there was a bright red magic circle drawn, which looked as if it was painted with blood.

“What, what is this!?”

At this time, Genji also saw the pattern on the door and was immediately shocked.

"This thing didn't exist yesterday!"

"…Do you have a key? I want to see what's inside."

"Understood."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Genci immediately nodded.

"I will report to Madam right away. Please wait a moment."

Soon, Ushiromiya Natsuki, Ushiromiya Eiha and her husband Ushiromiya Hideyoshi, who had received the news, also rushed over. Looking at the pattern on the warehouse door in front of them, their faces also changed slightly. Then, Jiayin took the key and opened the warehouse door.

After seeing the situation in the warehouse clearly, everyone's expression changed drastically.

In the narrow warehouse, several bodies were lying on the ground. Their heads were smashed to pieces by some heavy weapon, and their original appearance could not even be seen.

“This, this is…”

Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked.

"Honey!!"

Ushiromiya Xia Fei screamed and tried to rush in, but Fang Zheng quickly grabbed her.

"Everyone step back immediately and do not destroy the crime scene!"

Fang Zheng stood in front of the warehouse door and glanced coldly at the people around him. Under his gaze, Ushiromiya Natsuki, Ushiromiya Ewa and Ushiromiya Hideyoshi also obediently walked aside - perhaps they were also shocked by what they saw, so they had no time to react.

"Mr. Genji."

Fang Zheng stood in front of the warehouse door, glanced around, and then looked at Yuanci.

"Please call Dr. Nanjo. We need to verify the condition of the body and call the police immediately."

"yes."

Yuanci nodded immediately and turned to leave. It was only at this time that Fangzheng turned around and used the light to carefully observe the corpse in front of him.

There were six dead people in total, including the eldest son of the Ushiromiya family, Kurasu, the second son, Ryufufu and his wife Kirie, the second daughter, Roza, and the servants, Goda and Saon. Everyone's face was destroyed and they could only be identified by their clothes. I have to admit that for Fang Zheng, this is a very difficult case - although there are many deaths in the Conan world, it is rare to see so many deaths at once and such tragic deaths.

Soon, Genji and Dr. Nanjo arrived at the warehouse. However, to everyone's surprise, in addition to the two of them, Zhu Zhixiang, Ranzhi, Battler, and Conan also ran over behind them. Although Xia Fei tried her best to dissuade them, they still saw the miserable situation in the warehouse.

Zhu Zhixiang and Battler were naturally shocked and cried, while Ranzhi was pale and stood there without saying a word. Even Conan looked at the scene in front of him and his face turned pale. He didn't know what to say. After a while, he calmed down and walked to Fang Zheng's side.

"What do you think?"

“I don’t have any opinion at this point.”

Fang Zheng looked at Dr. Nanjo who was performing an autopsy and shook his head.

"But fortunately we are mentally prepared."

"Although it is true..."

Of course Conan understood what Fang Zheng meant. This was just a "game" after all. The reality was that all of Ushiromiya's family except Ushiromiya Ewa died on this small island, so it was understandable that so many people died. However, what one saw on paper was just a cold record after all. The feeling when witnessing it with one's own eyes was naturally another matter.

"Are there any prisoners?"

“I can’t see it at the moment.”

Fang Zheng glanced at it, then looked away.

"Anyway, I'll leave it to you."

“…”

Conan didn't say anything this time. After all, for him, such a case was too rare.

Soon, the autopsy results of Dr. Nanjo came out. Although the cause of death was unknown, it was certain that the six people were disfigured after death and placed in this warehouse. In addition, there was another clue that when Fang Zheng and others arrived, the entire warehouse was locked, and there was only one key to the warehouse, which was in the servants' room. Jiayin returned to the servants' room to get the key and then opened the door.

In other words, the criminal killed six victims somewhere, took the key from the servants' room, opened the door of the warehouse, moved the six bodies here, locked the door of the warehouse, drew the strange magic circle, and then secretly put the key back to the servants' room...

To Fang Zheng, this is really a lot of free time.

As expected, the police could not come because of the storm, so they could only rely on themselves. Fang Zheng naturally revealed his identity and began the interrogation. The first thing to do was to ask everyone for their alibi.

First, there were the six people who died. According to Ushiromiya Ewa, after Beatrice's letter appeared, they started a meeting again to discuss gold and the next head of the Ushiromiya family. The meeting lasted until twelve o'clock. Ushiromiya Ewa and her husband Hideyoshi could not hold on any longer and went to rest.

Only Ushiromiya Kurasu, Ushiromiya Ryufufu, Ushiromiya Kirie and Ushiromiya Roza were still discussing.

As for Kurasuki's wife, Ushiromiya Natsuhime, she went back to her room early to rest because she was not feeling well.

As for the servants, according to Genji, Mr. Kurasu temporarily changed the shift schedule. Saon and Kanon were on night shift at the guest house, while the murdered chef Goda was on night shift at the mansion. Genji and another servant, Kumazawa, stayed overnight at the guest house.

As for Joji, Shujika, Battler and Maria stayed together.

Not only that, afterwards, Granny Xiongze, who went to prepare breakfast, found a large amount of blood in the restaurant, from which everyone could determine that it was the first crime scene.

So Fang Zheng and Conan discussed it and basically restored the development of the whole case. First of all, after the incident of the letter last night, the adults gathered in the restaurant of the mansion to discuss the next plan, while the children returned to the guest house to rest. Xia Fei also returned to her room in the mansion to rest because she was not feeling well. At twelve o'clock, Ushiromiya Ewa and her husband also returned to the guest house to rest because they could not stand staying up late.

So in this way, it becomes as follows.

The mansion: Ushiromiya Kinzo, Ushiromiya Kurasuke, Ushiromiya Natsuki, Ushiromiya Ryufufu, Ushiromiya Kirie, Ushiromiya Roza and the chef on duty, Goda.

Guest house: Ushiromiya Joji, Ushiromiya Shujika, Ushiromiya Battler, Ushiromiya Maria, Luongou Genji, Granny Kumazawa, Fang Zheng, Conan, and Kanon and Saon who are on duty.

According to the information provided by Battler, his father once said that he might stay up all night tonight, and Genji also said that Kurasu adjusted the evening schedule and asked chef Goda to be on duty in the mansion.

So this should mean that Zangju also realized that this kind of discussion would probably continue all night, so he specially adjusted the schedule and asked Chef Gota to stay and make midnight snacks.

However, the criminal killed Zangju, Liufufu, Wujiang and Louza, and killed Gota who was on duty, but spared Xia Fei who was also resting in the mansion, and killed Sain who was on duty at the guest house...

Conan also has his own reasoning about this, which is... the criminal killed five people in the mansion and transported them to the door of the warehouse. Then the criminal went to the servant's room in the guest house to steal the key. He was discovered by Saon on the way. In order to avoid leakage, he killed Saon. Then the criminal sent the six bodies to the warehouse, smashed their faces, then locked the door, put the key back in place, and left.

But there is a problem with this.

"Six people, six bodies. A normal person would have died of exhaustion, not to mention that it was a storm last night."

Fang Zheng spread his hands helplessly.

"Assuming that the murderer really killed someone in the restaurant and then brought the person to the warehouse - well, let's not dwell on how the murderer killed the person. Maybe he used the Smiling Half-Budian. Six bodies? Frankly speaking, I don't think anyone here can do this except me."

"Perhaps the murderer dragged the body to the door and then put it on a cart used to transport materials and pushed it into the warehouse."

Conan naturally has his own ideas.

"After all, when we came here, wasn't the servant named Jiayin pushing a cart?"

"But we need evidence..."

After talking for a long time, the two did not have any good clues or discoveries, so they had to go back to the living room again.

At this moment, almost all the remaining people were in the living room, and everyone had a gloomy look on their face.

"What did Mr. Ushiromiya Kinzo say?"

Fang Zheng looked at Ushiromiya Natsuki and asked, but Ushiromiya Natsuki did not answer. Instead, Ushiromiya Ewa narrowed her eyes and spoke.

"There's no one in the study."

"No one?"

"That's right."

As she spoke, Ushiromiya Ewa looked at Ushiromiya Natsuhime.

"Also, I want to ask, who was the last person to see my father?"

"It's me."

In response to Huiyu's question, Xia Fei answered.

"This morning, I met with my father in the study. Oh, by the way, Genji, I'll return this key to you."

As she spoke, Xia Fei handed the key back to Genji. Seeing this, Hui Yu frowned.

“That’s a bit strange.”

"strangeness?"

"That's right."

As she spoke, Huiyu took out a piece of paper from her bosom.

"According to Genji, the study has only one entrance and exit, so when I saw my sister leaving the study this morning, I thought of a way to play a prank... I put this note on the door of the study, and then after we found the bodies of Kurasu and others, my sister and I went to the study again, and when we opened the door, the note was still stuck in the crack of the door."

"So what you mean is that no one has entered or left the study during this period of time, right?"

Fang Zheng immediately understood what Huiyu meant, and the latter nodded.

"So, I have this idea. Maybe my sister killed my father this morning after seeing him, and then hid the body..."

"I didn't do such a thing!"

However, before Huiyu could finish her words, she was interrupted excitedly by Xia Fei, and Zhu Zhixiang also joined in.

"That's right, why would mother do such a thing!"

"Okay, calm down, please."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the living room had become sinister again, Fang Zheng spoke hastily, and then he looked towards Concubine Xia of the Ushiro Palace.

"Actually, I also have a question that I would like an answer to."

"…What's the problem?"

"Mr. Ushiromiya Kinzo, are you really still alive?"

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xia's expression changed.

"What do you mean? Do you also suspect that I killed my father?"

"No, I just simply have this question."

Fang Zheng spread his hands.

"Because in fact, since I came to this island, I have never seen Ushiromiya Kinzo, nor have I heard his voice. I just heard you say that this person exists, but does this person really exist..."

"Speaking of which..."

Hearing this, Huiyu also started to think.

"We knocked on the door of my father's study several times yesterday to ask him about the letter and Beatrice, but we received no response."

"This is ridiculous! I, Kurasu, Genji, and Dr. Nanjo have all met the father!!"

"But the testimony of the four of you has no value in being accepted."

Facing Fang Zheng's response, Xia Fei's expression changed again.

"What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. In the cases I handled, many of them were about children pretending that the deceased was still alive in order to defraud pensions or retirement benefits. As the vested interests, it is easy for you four to collude with each other. For example, Mr. Ushiromiya Kinzo had already died, but you and your husband bribed Dr. Nanjo and Mr. Genji for some purpose and asked them to pretend that Mr. Kinzo was still alive..."

“What nonsense!!”

Xia Fei angrily interrupted Fang Zheng's words.

"I did meet my father this morning, and he told me, 'The One-Winged Eagle is already engraved in your heart'... Do you want to deny what he said to me?!"

As she spoke, Xia Fei suddenly picked up the gun and pointed it at Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng did not react at all.

"What you said has nothing to do with me. I only believe in evidence, not purely personal testimony. The police also need evidence to solve the case. If you insist that Mr. Ushiromiya Kinzo is not dead, then I want to conduct a thorough investigation of the study... It should be no problem."

"……no problem."

Facing Fang Zheng's request, Xia Fei snorted coldly.

"Genji, take him to the study."

"...Yes, ma'am."

Faced with Xia Fei's request, Yuanci hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and then he turned to Fang Zheng.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, please follow me."
