Chapter 3179 3191 [Rum's back sank]
Conan agrees with this: "There are only three chairs with words written on the back, one of which is 'I', one is 'Mom', so the remaining one 'Mr. Jincheng' should not be written casually.
"Also, those two people, 'kachan' and 'chioni', who are taller than Ms. Koto, should be very close to her, but their names don't appear on the back of the chair... Who could these two people be?"
As Conan began to think, he gradually forgot to lower his voice.
Hattori Heiji quickly poked him and reminded him, "Keep your voice down! If Jiang... if that female lawyer next to Jiang Xia hears you, you'll be in trouble!"
Conan glanced at him speechlessly: "..." Are you afraid that this reasoning will be heard by that suspicious female lawyer, or are you afraid that Jiang Xia will hear it?
but……
Looking at Jiang Xia's back, Conan lowered his voice and said, "The murderer is still hiding in the dark, ready to make a move. Compared to solving the mystery... isn't it more important to catch him?"
After being persuaded by him, Bu Heiji also came to his senses. Thinking of the two bloody cases not long ago, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll find Jiang Xia to synchronize the information and see if he can find the murderer. I don't remember him looking under the chair. He probably doesn't know what is written under it."
Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and walked towards Jiang Xia reluctantly.
I thought it would take some effort to get the female lawyer next to Jiang Xia to leave. If that didn't work, then they would just have to reluctantly think about it themselves...
But who would have thought that after the two of them just took a few quick steps and before they could call out to Jiang Xia, "Miss Shirai" glanced at them, then quietly quickened her pace, leaving space for them.
"?" Conan looked at this considerate lawyer and couldn't help but mutter to Hattori Heiji, "This woman is too self-conscious."
Hattori Heiji frowned, not because he was dissatisfied with the fact that "Ms. Shirai" had helped them create a suitable atmosphere for communication, but...
"Why would she avoid you?" Hattori Heiji said softly, "She doesn't know you're a fake kid."
Conan's heart skipped a beat at first, suspecting that his secret had been discovered. But thinking about the peaceful life around him, he felt that he must have been overthinking.
As for Ms. Shirai's performance...
"Think about it carefully. Even if I am a fake child, you can communicate with Jiang Xia when we discuss clues. It doesn't matter whether she avoids you or not." Conan thought, "She should avoid you for other reasons, such as, uh, the etiquette of adults when they hear their companions talking about serious matters?"
Hattori Heiji: "...He is quite good at pretending to be a good person in front of Jiang Xia."
In any case, since the last excuse for not telling Jiang Xia was gone, the two had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward to tell Jiang Xia the words under the chair.
"So that's how it is." Jiang Xia nodded thoughtfully, "Then the murderer should be..."
"etc!!!"
Hattori Heiji stopped talking in a slightly frustrated manner: "We are just discussing clues, and we haven't even reached the final step yet - how did you know this again! Who allowed you to skip a step!!"
The crew members who were almost at the door of the villa heard the noise here and looked back curiously.
Jiang Xia looked at the unreasonable Osaka classmate and said, "Well, actually we don't have enough evidence right now, so let's go back and start looking for evidence first."
Hattori Heiji: "..." I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm reading a mystery novel and accidentally glimpsed the ending, then quickly pretended that I didn't see anything and turned the page back to the beginning, which is like deceiving myself...
Jiang Xia looked at his tangled expression and said considerately, "How about this, I'll try to find some evidence first, and you guys continue to reason - anyway, everyone is alert enough now, as long as we gather together, the murderer won't act rashly."
"Okay!" Since the murderer did not pose a threat for the time being, Hattori Heiji agreed without hesitation. "Then it's settled."
Since no clear evidence has been found yet, then, rounding it off, we are now on the same starting line.
In other words, if they find evidence before Jiang Xia... then this time, they will really win!
Thinking of this, the two detectives, one big and one small, looked at each other, with a burning fighting spirit in their eyes.
…
The two detectives went to search the island.
In the villa.
After waiting for a while, everyone's stomach began to growl.
Mao Lilan was used to cooking at home. Seeing a group of hungry people, she habitually worried: "Then I'll go to the kitchen to check. Although there are no fresh ingredients, if I'm lucky, I might be able to find some canned food that hasn't expired."
Several detectives hadn't returned yet. Seeing that Mao Lilan was about to leave, Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly followed: "Then I'll go with you! If someone attacks you while you're rummaging through the drawers, I'll hit him on the head with a stool!"
The two girls looked at each other, nodded, and walked towards the kitchen, arm in arm as if they were going to a battlefield.
The long-haired man watched them leave, feeling a little worried, but he didn't dare to leave the familiar restaurant and follow them. So he returned to the house and muttered to the others, "They shouldn't really be attacked."
"No, no." Others were actually thinking similar things, but even though they knew, they didn't want to go out. The program director consoled them, "In fact, I heard that the girl with long hair is a karate champion - don't worry, there will be no problem."
Two people were exploring on the beach, two were venturing into the kitchen, four were acting like statues in the restaurant, and two were standing at the back door of the villa, confronting each other in silence.
Of course, "confrontation" was only Curacao's one-sided view. Her colleague sitting opposite her obviously just thought it was a pleasant time to be alone.
"What do you want?" Curasuo looked at Jiang Xia with a hint of vigilance. The fake detective had just said "I want to talk to you alone." She didn't dare to refuse, but she didn't want to really listen, so she decided to finish the perfunctory as soon as possible and then hurried back to the crowd. "Hurry up and tell me. If you leave for too long, you will also be suspected."
Jiang Xia looked at her and said, "You came to Okinawa probably for the golden screen that was stolen by the kidnappers four years ago."
Curacao: “?!!”
How did you know? !
The second after this question came to her lips, a figure appeared in Curacao's mind - how else could she know? This mission was assigned to her directly by Rum, and she definitely did not leak the secret, so the only thing left was...
Rum——!!
