Chapter 588 Don’t Hold Someone’s Head
In short, I hope the acting skills of the famous detectives are up to par.
...It would be better if there was some special murderous aura. For example, Hakuba Tan looks very promising. After all, he is Kid's lifelong enemy, and he has even speculated that Kid is Kuroba Kaito...
Across the table, Bai Ma Tan suddenly felt a chill on his back. He raised his head sharply and looked at the young man in black opposite him, along with his eagle.
The other party was caught peeking but didn't panic. He just looked at him for a moment and gave a meaningful smile.
The mermaid noticed the interaction between the two sides, thought for a moment, and suddenly grew bigger, and pounced on the eagle in Bai Matan's hand - she was the only ghost among the current ghosts who could expand to the size of a normal human.
The naive eagle didn't expect that the strange "fellow" circling around it suddenly became so huge. Its whole body stiffened and its fur exploded into a ball. It looked as if it was frightened by Jiang Xia's smile.
The mermaid looked at the ball of hair in front of her and was satisfied.
She reached out and touched the eagle's head, and it changed back to the size of a mini pillow and slowly floated back to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia: “…” Don’t use your murderous intent on strange things!
...But the effect is pretty good.
He then pretended not to see anything, looked away, and drank his tea elegantly.
The other detectives were not familiar with White Horse's eagle, and they were always startled when they saw it, but they didn't realize anything was wrong.
Their attention was more focused on the organizer.
Regarding the organizer's proposal of "a massacre game where the winner survives last", no one intended to cooperate with him.
Although the "host" was a plastic model, considering that there were cameras installed in the restaurant, the real host might be hiding behind the camera and peeping and could hear their voices.
So the detectives still said what they wanted to say to the plastic shell.
Gunda Ikumi leaned back in her chair and laughed, "Are you kidding? The premise of killing each other is to kill each other. We don't have time to play this boring survival game with you."
The plastic "host" seemed to have guessed their attitude and snorted coldly:
“None of you can quit this survival game, because you have already been bewitched by the bloody smell left here and cannot escape. Come on, this game will begin when one of you lets out the first scream.
"Also, listen carefully - whoever finds the treasure, immediately come to the room on the fourth floor of the Central Tower and input the location of the treasure into the computer. Then I will naturally tell you half of the treasure and how to leave here as agreed."
The cowboy detective's voice was even colder than it: "I'm sorry. I'm not interested in treasure hunts." Besides, you blew up my car... He looked at the flames outside the window, furious, and strode towards the restaurant door.
Chikan Kyoudai looked at his friend and reminded him, "According to what the organizer said, the bridge and the road have been blown up."
The cowboy detective had thought of this a long time ago: "This is deep in the mountains, not an isolated island. No matter how exaggerated his description is, as long as we want to leave, we can definitely get out. The worst that can happen is that we have to survive in the wild for a few days..."
Clang——
Suddenly, there was the sound of a stool falling to the ground beside him.
The cowboy detective was startled and looked in the direction of the sound with the others.
The gourmet detective stood up with a grim look on his face, pinching his own neck. He stumbled and opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't utter a word and fell to the ground.
The place where the food detective fell was not far from Jiangxia.
In silence, Jiang Xia walked around Qian Jianpo's seat, came to his side, and looked down meaningfully.
Then he said calmly: "It's too late to save him."
On the other side, Bai Ma heard this and instinctively clicked open his pocket watch, whispering: "Time of death 22:34:51..."
After saying that, he remembered Watson's attitude towards the young man in black and felt a little uneasy, so he ran over to check it out.
Then he sighed: "He is indeed dead."
Qiangtian Yumei also moved closer to check: "The lips currently have no signs of turning blue or purple. In addition... there is a smell of bitter almonds."
Jiang Xia: “…” It’s you again, potassium cyanide.
…
Considering the time of the potassium cyanide attack, the detectives ruled out the issue of dinner and looked at the after-meal tea on the table.
Qianjian Jiangdai took out a coin with copper rust and dipped it into the gourmet detective's tea.
Seeing that the coin was still its original dull color, she shook her head: "There is no redox reaction, so it shouldn't be the tea's fault."
The host's voice came just in time:
"Okay, the game has officially begun. Even if you are not playing for the treasure, you should focus on the game for your own lives. In addition, I have placed a lot of poisonous snakes around here, so you'd better not pick them lightly...％￥&*"
The sound behind became a little vague.
The detectives observing the body were startled and looked towards the plastic sponsor.
The young man who called himself Kurosawa Sa walked up to the host. He observed for a moment, stretched out his hand, and naturally pulled off the "host's" head.
Detectives: “…”
They were slightly stunned by this sudden behavior.
Then they discovered something was wrong - as the head was pulled up, two wires appeared under the host's head, which were connected to two palm-sized machines.
Jiang Xia politely supported the host's head with one hand, picked up the machine with the other hand, looked at it, and secretly accelerated the progress bar: "It's a timer and a tape. What he said was all recorded in advance."
Amuro Toru turned to the maid and confirmed, "Is the time you serve the food set by the host in advance?"
The maid nodded: "The time is written on the process sheet, accurate to the minute."
“…”
The words were recorded in advance, and the serving time was also set in advance...
It can be seen that it is not the same as what they just thought: the organizer is not hiding somewhere, observing the situation while communicating with the detectives through the dummies.
But prepare everything in advance.
In other words…
"The murderer is probably among us." Bai Ma frowned. "Besides, he was probably sure from the beginning that he could successfully kill someone. That's why he said something like 'the first scream' which was like a prophecy."
The other detectives nodded, having the same idea.
The cowboy detective was also particularly concerned about his car.
He suggested: "We can't just listen to the 'organizer's' nonsense. Let's go out and take a look at the situation first. Maybe the heavy rain will affect the timer devices or bombs, causing some cars to not be blown up on time... If that's the case, we can drive through the mountains to find a way, so we don't have to worry about the 'poisonous snakes he mentioned in the mountains'."
