Chapter 258: Three Detectives, Two Left
Jiang Xia glanced at the kettle, then released the fastest flying Mist Tengu and asked it to keep an eye on the host.
Although the organizer did not pour potassium cyanide into his pot, this was after all a ruthless person who broke into a house and pushed the stubborn kid down the stairs. His aggressiveness was not weak, so it was necessary to keep an eye on him.
This also makes it easier to find evidence later.
Of course, when the host encounters difficulties, we can give him a little help depending on the situation...
Jiang Xia touched the kettle in which he had soaked fish and put sleeping pills. He was very satisfied that someone handed him a pillow when he was sleepy.
He was so skilled at pretending to sleep. It seemed that tonight, as long as he could sleep until Mao Lilan screamed... Oh no, Mao Lilan didn't come. As long as he could sleep until someone screamed downstairs, he would wake up in shock and recite the script, and everything would be fine.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia turned over the upside-down cup on the coffee table and poured half a cup of water into it. He then dipped some water into the cup and wiped it on the rim, pretending that the missing half was for him to drink.
Then he took the kettle and went into the bathroom, intending to pour out the water in case he forgot about it and picked it up to drink later.
At this time, Haibara Ai had finished brushing her teeth and was carefully wiping the water off her face with a towel.
She saw Jiang Xia pouring water into the sink and didn't think much about it. She just thought that the water was cold and Jiang Xia wanted to change to a new pot.
Jiang Xia tilted the kettle and watched the water mixed with the black-tech sleeping pills flow into the sewer. Then he rinsed the kettle, refilled it with water and took it out.
As soon as he came out of the bathroom, Jiang Xia was stunned - in the living room, Conan had already changed into dry clothes, walked out of the bedroom, and was standing next to the coffee table drinking water.
Maybe he was thirsty because he drank a few sips of disinfectant when he fell into the swimming pool. When Jiang Xia looked over, the cup was empty.
Jiang Xia: “…”
He silently looked at the cup in Conan's hand, then glanced at the empty table.
...Yes, that's right, it was the half cup he just poured out.
Conan finished half a glass of water, but he still hadn't finished drinking enough. He turned around and saw Jiang Xia coming out with a kettle. His eyes lit up: "Don't boil it yet, pour me some."
As he spoke, he came over with a cup in hand. Halfway through, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Conan then realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. He could only hold the cup with a serious face and fell down.
The cup also fell to the ground. It was of pretty good quality, or maybe because it fell too low, it didn't break and rolled to the side.
Huibara Ai, who followed Jiang Xia out, was startled and subconsciously looked at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia squatted down, put the kettle aside, and pulled Conan's eyes open to check his breathing and pulse. He felt that his vital signs were quite stable.
So he gladly gave up the scientific idea of punching Conan in the stomach to knock out the water in his stomach - the pills thrown by the organizer should not be very harmful.
Although the fact that "the pills thrown into the pot were sleeping pills" was just Jiang Xia's guess, he felt that this guess was more reliable.
Because Jiang Xia remembered that in the original world line, one of the murderer's killing tools was a powerful sleeping pill that took effect immediately.
Moreover, the organizer had no reason to poison them - the organizer's plan should have been to get Jiang Yuan Shinan drunk, change his clothes into Dark Night Baron's clothes, and then throw him down from the building, pretending that Jiang Yuan Shinan was the organizer, and the cause of death was "accidental fall due to drunkenness."
Since the intention was to fake an accident, the organizer would certainly try to avoid involving other murders, otherwise it would alert the police.
There is another very important point: in this world, there is almost no deadly poison that is odorless and tasteless...
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at Conan's peaceful expression and became more and more certain that it was sleeping pills, not poison.
After all, it has been a while since Conan drank the water, and in this world, there are few poisons that kill people so slowly...
Huiyuan Ai poked her head out from behind Jiang Xia, looking at Conan who suddenly fell to the ground with confusion and bewilderment: "What happened?"
After a pause, her eyes moved to the fallen cup next to her.
Jiang Xia didn't say anything. He turned Conan, who was lying on the ground, over to face up, grabbed his short arm and lifted it up into the air. As soon as he let go, Conan's arm fell down and the back of his hand hit his face. There was no pause during the process, and his expression did not change.
It seems that he was completely unconscious, otherwise he wouldn't have such a complete lack of reaction.
Jiang Xia then said, "There might be sleeping pills in the water he drank just now."
As he said that, Jiang Xia picked up Conan and threw him onto the bed in the bedroom.
Then he closed the door and returned to the living room.
At this time, Haibara Ai was squatting on the ground with her knees hugged, carefully poking the glass.
Jiang Xia also looked over.
He had thought that since the organizer had drugged him, he had a reason to pretend to sleep. The only thing that was more worrying was the other two detectives who participated in the Izu Mystery Tour - Conan and Amuro Toru.
Unexpectedly, now, one of the unstable factors is gone.
There is only one Toru Amuro left.
The detectives in this world are actually somewhat slow before a crime occurs. It is difficult for them to detect the victim before his blood is splattered on the spot...
Just as I was thinking about it, a transparent shadow suddenly poked its head out from the wall.
Jiang Xia paused for a moment and looked over. He saw the Mist Tengu he had just sent out flapping its wings anxiously, trying hard to pass through the wall, then it stopped suddenly and rolled over in front of Jiang Xia to brake.
Jiang Xia silently looked up at it, estimated the frequency of its flapping wings, and had a bad feeling.
Kiri Tengu really brought bad news.
Just now, the organizer sneaked into Jiang Xia's room, put sleeping pills in the kettle, then quickly returned to his own room, changed out of the Dark Night Baron's clothes, and went back to the hall, trying his best to give himself an alibi - he changed clothes and sneaked into Jiang Xia's room on purpose, also considering that in case he was caught on the spot due to his poor skills, he could pretend that this was just a little game played by the organizer.
At the same time, in order to confirm who has the virus "Dark Night Baron", Toru Amuro took advantage of the fact that others were out and entered the rooms of the participants one by one, trying to find out the identity of the organizer and the virus of the organization.
Less than half a minute after the host arrived in the hall, Toru Amuro happened to enter his room.
Then, soon after, while looking through the documents, Toru Amuro found the Dark Night Baron's clothes that Kamijou Satoshi had not hidden, as well as fishing line, tape, and some bulk medicines without the manufacturer's name written on them.
There is also another photo, which shows two men with their arms around each other, looking like they have a very close relationship.
One of them is the younger version of the organizer, and the other has a blood-red "X" painted on his face. Judging from his posture and those uncomfortable eyes, he looks very much like another participant in the Izu Mystery Tour - Ehara Tokio. Of course, he is also a younger version.
