Chapter 1809 1816 [Hashimoto Maya: He slandered me! ]
Kurosawa Kazuma and Izuka Taro were confused: "..." What does this have to do with them? They have never been to the theater since they arrived on the island. Whether the lamp ropes are aging or not, what does it have to do with the innocent people watching the island!
Suzuki Sonoko felt a little guilty when she remembered that this was her own island.
At this time, Jiang Xia seemed to have discovered something.
He walked to the side, picked up the thick lamp cord through his handkerchief, and took a closer look: "There is a cut on it. The lamp fell not because of poor quality, but someone deliberately cut it."
"It seems this was not an accident, but a premeditated murder."
Several students were stunned, and all of them felt goose bumps on their backs. Their expressions became more panicked than before - perhaps some people were not afraid of ghosts, but everyone was afraid of a murderer hiding nearby.
"But..." Mao Lilan touched the goose bumps on her arm and whispered weakly, "But except for the deceased, everyone was in the restaurant just now."
That's true.
Then things suddenly became even more bizarre. No one had the time to commit the crime, so could it really be that a ghost cut the rope?
In the chaos, Kurosawa Kazuma and Izuka Taro looked at each other quietly and felt that they knew the answer: "..." No, it was not ghosts at all.
First of all, there are no ghosts in the world.
Secondly, only they knew that there was actually another person hiding on the island, and only that person had enough time to commit the crime... What on earth was that bastard George doing! Couldn't he just hide in the room? Why did he have to cause them all this trouble!
When they thought of the guy who had always pretended to be honest and had just caused such a big mess behind their backs, the two of them couldn't help but feel murderous and prepared to go back and settle the score with him later.
...But now, we still have to fool these students first.
Izuka Taro paced back and forth, pretending to be in a dilemma: "Although this island is not big, it is usually guarded by only one or two people. If there are any criminals sneaking up, it will be difficult to find them to be honest - maybe a murderer has sneaked onto the island. So, you go back and rest first, we will definitely find a way to catch that guy off the island!"
First, they expressed their stance, and then fooled around during the search, so that Hashimoto Maya's incident could be covered up. There was no better place to hide people than this island - they were angry, but they were the ones in charge after all, and they couldn't really kill Hashimoto Maya in anger before asking their superiors.
Taro Izuka felt that his response was very appropriate.
But at this moment, a voice came from the side.
The first-grade student wearing glasses looked up and asked innocently, "Uncle, when you suddenly discover a murder, shouldn't your first reaction be to call the police? Why are you thinking about how to catch the criminal by yourself? Do you know some hidden secret?"
“…”
Taro Izuka's heart skipped a beat, and the murderous aura on his body became thicker. Jiang Xia couldn't help but look at him.
Almost at the same time, Vermouth also noticed the murderous intent that Taro Izuka could not suppress at that moment. She pushed her glasses and the apple scent on her body became silently stronger.
Jiang Xia looked to the left and then to the right: "..." What a fruitful night! It would be perfect with some iced black tea.
The atmosphere briefly became a little tense.
But soon, Kurosawa Hema found a way to help his pig teammate clean up the mess. He showed a helpless smile: "Little friend, it's not that we don't want to call the police, but this time the thunderstorm was too close and the phone was broken. And in such a stormy day, the yacht can't go out to sea at all - in other words, I'm afraid we are temporarily trapped here, so we can only solve the problem ourselves."
Conan glanced at him, seemed to think this statement was quite reasonable, nodded and said nothing more.
The two island watchers left in a hurry.
The students were still immersed in the news that "there might be an unknown murderer hiding on the island" and their faces were pale.
But things had come to this point and they couldn't run away, so they could only go back to the old hotel and hope that this terrible night would pass quickly.
Unexpectedly, just as we reached the theater door, an emergency occurred again.
I don’t know who was the first to notice something was wrong: “Why is there a lighted window on the 4th floor? I remember everyone lives on the 2nd and 3rd floors, so there shouldn’t be anyone on the 4th floor, right?”
It was dead silent.
As the only detective present, Jiang Xia stroked his chin and said calmly, "Let's go and take a look."
…
The other side.
Kurosawa Kazuma and Izuka Taro have hurried back to where Hashimoto Maya is hiding: "Look what you have done!"
Hashimoto Maya had been hiding quietly in the house all day, not even daring to turn on the lights. Suddenly, he heard these words head-on, and he had a bad feeling in his heart: "?"
Izuka Taro rolled up his sleeves angrily and asked, "Why did you kill that female student? Did you want to cause trouble for us so that you can escape?"
"..." Hashimoto Maya thought to herself, "As expected?"
"You're asking even though you already know the answer!" Izuka Taro punched the table.
Kurosawa Hema did notice something wrong. Hashimoto Maya was too clean, not even stained by the rain, and there were no similar traces on the ground. He asked suspiciously, "You really didn't leave the room today?"
Hashimoto Maya wanted to snort coldly.
But when he thought that Wuzo might be nearby, he had to take a deep breath and tried to show a calm look: "Of course not. Tell me what happened outside first."
At times like this, he actually had the aura of a cadre’s confidant.
Kurosawa and Ma hesitated for a moment and decided to explain the situation clearly first to avoid any trouble.
…
"...The chandelier fell down and killed someone?"
After listening to this, Hashimoto Maya felt that this method sounded familiar.
He searched his mind and suddenly remembered one thing - the most respected "Mr. Pisco" in Ireland had used a similar method to commit murder in his last mission before his death. At that time, he shot down the chandelier in the banquet hall, smashed a congressman to death, and successfully eliminated the organization's mission target.
Unfortunately, because of his heroic posture when he raised his gun to shoot the chandelier rope, it was unfortunately photographed by reporters on the scene, and Mr. Pisco was later killed by the organization.
At first glance, it seemed like everything was just an accident.
But Maya Hashimoto remembers that Ireland was always upset about the incident and was very sure that it was Uzo who secretly tampered with it.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Now that he said that, it seems that Uzo really likes to hit people. Mr. Ireland was hit one, two, three, four times... Could it be that this case is really related to that terrible cadre?
Although she had long suspected that Usa was behind these students' landing on the island, once this suspicion was gradually confirmed, Hashimoto Maya's heart could not help but sink.
