Chapter 2289 2301 [Conan's self-destructing teammate] Ask for monthly votesヽ(〃〃)~
Jiang Xia stood up and led everyone to find the owner of the house.
"We just rang the doorbell and banged on the door, but no one woke up despite the noise." Suzuki Sonoko looked suspicious. She whispered to Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan, "Could it be that the writer couple killed someone together and then fled for fear of being punished?"
Vodka nodded thoughtfully: If I remember correctly, Wu Zo wanted to kill all three of them - and the two "escaped" people might have been captured by Wu Zo's younger brothers and are helping with land reclamation in Tokyo Bay?
His thoughts followed Suzuki Sonoko and strayed for a second, then he suddenly came to his senses: "..." No! What's the point of absconding from the crime? The man was clearly dead. He saw it with his own eyes last night!
Vodka: "..." He couldn't sleep after seeing it, and had intermittent dreams of a battle royale, which caused him to be distracted and he could hardly tell whether the scary scene was a dream or reality... Having said that, two of the three people died. Things like Uzo really do harm to people!
Vodka sighed and tried hard to pretend that he was not thinking about anything.
He nodded in agreement with Suzuki Sonoko, and then, under Conan's vigilant gaze, followed Jiang Xia and searched the bedrooms one by one.
The bad thing about a house that is too big is that it can easily turn into a game of hide-and-seek.
But the other party was very abiding by the moral principles of martial arts and would not move. Not long after, when Jiang Xia pushed open the door of the next room, the male owner of the house finally appeared in front of everyone.
"Ah!!" Mao Lilan was startled when she saw the person lying straight on the bed. She subconsciously picked up the phone. Her fingertips were as fast as lightning, and a string of "110" appeared on the screen in the blink of an eye.
Vodka pushed up his sunglasses and couldn't help but glance at her: "..." She assumed that the person was dead from such a distance... Did this girl really not know Uzo's plan?
Of course, the more likely scenario is that this poor high school girl appears near Uzo every day, and has been immersed in the style and aura of that little sinister guy for a long time, and has been subtly influenced by him.
"In short, whether these people did it intentionally or not, they are undoubtedly dangerous elements and must be avoided as much as possible."
Vodka looked at the three high school students with a serious look, and finally glanced at the elementary school student, and silently added in his heart: "There is no doubt that this kid is the most dangerous one among them. Even if he shoots me to death in front of me, he can't be held accountable... Damn it, no wonder Uzo wants to create a rice krispie version of the 'Baker Street Guerrilla' like Sherlock Holmes, the little brat is really useful."
When the unprofessional detective's fake assistant was thinking about random things that had nothing to do with the case.
The dedicated detective had hurried into the room and was at the bedside.
Jiang Xia squatted down, felt Haitang Yangtai's pulse, and shook his head regretfully: "The person is already dead, report..."
He looked at Mao Lilan who was already calling the police in a low voice, and silently took back the rest of his words.
Then he turned back to check again, and came to a simple conclusion: "Mr. Haitang also did not have any external injuries, and it is very likely that he died of poisoning."
As he spoke, Jiang Xia looked around and his gaze quickly stopped on the ground beside him.
——A bottle of sleeping pills fell there.
He stretched out his hand, thought for a moment, and then retracted it: "Although there is no evidence, I always feel that this will be very important physical evidence... Let's not look at it for now, let's wait for the police to come."
Vodka: “…” You’re pretending quite well.
Just as he was secretly complaining, Jiang Xia suddenly raised his head and looked at him with a serious expression.
Vodka: “?!” What are you doing!
"I remember……"
Jiang Xia pondered for a moment.
After several seconds, when the other students looked over, he said with his heart rate soaring due to the vodka, "I remember when the assistant lady came to chat with us before, she once said that Mrs. Haitang often suffers from insomnia and has to take sleeping pills to fall asleep."
"It seems to be the case." Suzuki Sonoko came back to her senses from the shock of "there are more corpses!" and followed him in thinking.
Soon, the high school girl who had seen countless cases touched her chin and frowned like a famous detective: "Mrs. Haitang often suffers from insomnia, but why are the sleeping pills here with Mr. Haitang? Did she recommend her own medicine to her husband, and then poisoned him to death?"
Mao Lilan suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
Conan: “…” One dares to push and the other dares to believe.
Jiang Xia: "No matter what, Mrs. Haitang must be the key figure in this. Let's go to her room first."
…
The places a famous writer spends most of his time in are usually his bedroom and study.
The group first went to the study which was easier to find.
Pushing open the door, Suzuki Sonoko tilted her head and peeked inside over Jiang Xia, and hissed - there was a computer on the desk next to the floor-to-ceiling window, and in front of the computer, a strong woman in a bathrobe was lying on the table.
Although this posture is more commonly seen in behaviors such as sleeping on the table during a "nap", combined with the glasses that were not taken off in time, everyone had a premonition in their hearts at the same time.
Mao Lilan's fingertips trembled, she was silent for a moment, and picked up the phone for the third time.
Jiang Xia also walked over to check for the third time, then shook his head skillfully: "The person is gone."
Vodka stood at the door, looking at the scene in the room, a little dazed.
As we all know, a murder case requires both the deceased and the murderer.
But now...
Wuzo planned to kill three people, but these three people died at the same time?
...How on earth did this guy do it?!
Conan's original attention was still on Vodka, but as this bizarre mystery unfolded before him, his detective DNA surged wildly, and he couldn't help but concentrate on observing the scene.
Suddenly, he discovered something and pointed to a vase next to the desk: "Look! This clear blue color and complex patterns look very familiar, don't they?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thud on his head.
Suzuki Sonoko took back her hand that hit him and said, "Three people are dead, and you are actually looking at the vase next to you!"
Conan: "..." Stupid! What vase? This is obviously an important clue to solving this mystery!
He wanted to refute like this, but he caught a glimpse of Vodka standing beside him. After a moment of silence, Conan had to hold back all his complaints.
Then he smiled innocently like a child, bearing the humiliation: "I just think I've seen it before."
Suzuki Sonoko glanced at him suspiciously: "Why do you speak so strangely, kid? Speak normally."
Conan was so shocked that his hair stood on end: "!!!" Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about in front of Vodka!
Vodka: "..." Haha, no matter how cunning a child is, his wisdom is limited. Do you think others can't see the contrast between your sinister heart and pure appearance? - As long as you continue like this, sooner or later you will be on the organization's list of people to be killed!
