Chapter 2313 2325 [A way to break the script]
This room seems to belong to the teacher Haibu who led the team.
The room was not tidy but not too messy. There was a piece of luggage on the floor. The zipper of the luggage had been unzipped, revealing a corner of thick paper.
"What's this?"
Conan leaned forward curiously and pulled out the paper.
Jiang Xia: “……?” Weren’t you accompanying the kid to the toilet? Where did you come from?
"The light in the toilet on the first floor is broken, and Mitsuhiko doesn't dare to go in, so we came to the second floor." Conan obviously didn't wait at the toilet door all the time. Relying on the close distance between the two sides, he came over to check the situation after hearing the noise.
While speaking, Conan turned around as if nothing had happened, took advantage of the chaos to unfold the paper in his hand and took a look - could it be that Anonymous came here for this picture?
This thought made him look extra carefully.
Then I realized that this seemed to be a map, with many villas drawn on it with simple strokes, a winding river in the middle, and some villas were marked with crosses.
"These marks..." Conan looked at the huge black crosses that seemed to be erasing the villa, and couldn't help frowning: no matter how you look at this kind of icon, it seems to carry a malicious and ominous aura.
He gradually formed a guess in his mind, so he took a look at the large suitcase on the ground, squatted down and unzipped it.
Reaching in and looking through it, Conan's expression changed slightly, and he took out a heavy toolbox.
Jiang Xia, who was watching quietly, said: "..."
The efficiency of this bag search is worthy of a detective from Tokyo... Compared with a real detective, I still lack the aura of an outlaw.
Next time I open Xiaobai's puppet, I will learn from Kudo-san...
Jiang Xia opened the detective observation manual in his mind and added this point carefully.
At the same time, Conan had already opened the lid of the box, revealing wrenches, pliers, nails, hammers and other tools inside.
These heavy props suddenly remind people of a word that has frequently appeared in the news recently.
"A vandal of a guesthouse." Conan's face looked a little grim. "Could that person really have wandered over here?"
Jiang Xia was about to speak when suddenly, two terrified screams came from downstairs.
Immediately afterwards, someone in the next bathroom also yelled "Ah!". Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya rushed out with his pants in his hands: "What's wrong? What happened? What happened? Where is the person? Oh no, Conan is missing, Conan——!!"
"..." Jiang Xia walked out the door and reminded the unsteady detective Miao Zi, "Keep your voice down. Do you want to be the next victim?"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was stunned, and then this smart kid suddenly thought of something else and looked at him with horror: "You, it's you?! Where did you take Ayumi and Conan? - I have always felt that your appearance is very strange, but Ayumi was blinded by your appearance!"
Jiang Xia: “…” Let’s not talk about how you have such a developed love brain at such a young age… Why did you only mention Conan and Ayumi, did you forget someone?
...I always feel that the probability of this child being in the news in the future has increased.
"How can you talk like that!" Conan, who heard their conversation, ran out with a cold sweat on his forehead. He interrupted Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's rude questioning, fearing that this classmate would be stabbed by a needle and he would be forced to take care of the child, "Let's go downstairs first!"
Jiang Xia nodded, and the scarf kid and Conan ran down the stairs one after the other.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya still felt that there was something wrong with the child, which made him vaguely scared, but when he turned around and looked at the gloomy corridor, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya did not hesitate and ran after him.
On the way downstairs, Conan grabbed a metal ornament with one hand and opened the anesthesia watch with the other hand, and was ready to activate his foot-strengthening shoes at any time to kick any possible criminals downstairs in the face.
However, when he got downstairs, he was stunned: the first floor was empty, there were neither criminals nor Ayumi Yoshida and Genta Kojima.
Jiang Xia glanced at the living room, then wandered over to the side and glanced at the table: "Two dolls are missing."
"!" Conan was startled and ran over to take a look. He felt something was wrong. "The two missing are Ayumi and Genta's!"
"They have also disappeared. Now there are only three of us left..."
Conan thought of the hustle and bustle of the time, then looked at the few people left, and suddenly felt sad.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya suddenly discovered something and turned his head sharply to look at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia: “?” What’s wrong again.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya felt that he had found his blind spot. He pointed at Jiang Xia's hand tremblingly and said, "Why do you always carry this doll with you? Did you know something a long time ago?"
Without waiting for Jiang Xia to answer, the somewhat collapsed child suddenly turned to look at Conan: "I was wrong, we were all wrong! - Why did you put the puppet alone on the table? As long as we carry it with us and prevent the puppet from disappearing, then we won't disappear either!"
Conan: "Uh..."
...seems to make sense?
If the 10 people invited to the island in And Then There Were None had protected their porcelain statues instead of leaving them on the dining table...
As he was thinking, Conan banged his head, interrupting his wandering thoughts: "..." What are you thinking! Even if you protect the puppet or the porcelain statue, the murderer will definitely continue to do what he wants to do. The victim can only use this method to make the murderer's arrangement fail, and then make the murderer feel a little unhappy... and then die the way he wants.
The only situation in which this could work is if the murderer had extremely severe obsessive compulsive disorder and wanted everything to develop perfectly according to his script, and would even stop to correct it if he encountered any discrepancies.
Conan: "..." Wait, this seems to be a solution instead of continuing to suffer in ignorance?
Anyway, the doll is not heavy...
He hesitated for a moment, walked forward and picked up his own mouse puppet, then threw the monkey puppet to Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, and then imitated the little boy in the scarf and put the puppet on his hand: "Wear it." Just take it as psychological comfort.
Jiang Xia looked at their puppets, then looked at his own fake cat: "..."
He didn't put down the doll, simply because the doll in his hand was a fake one: cats don't have strong self-control after all, and if he left it there, the eating cat would get tired of pretending to be a doll, and it would be troublesome if it accidentally swelled back into a cat - there was also a murderous apple quietly peeping outside the window, and he didn't want to disrupt Vermouth's worldview for the time being.
After Conan dealt with the puppet, he turned back to look at the other two survivors. He cleared his throat, acted as a peacemaker, and said to Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: "Ayumi and Genta were not kidnapped by Xiaobai. We were in Mr. Kaibe's room at the time. He was right next to me and had no time to commit the crime."
