Haibara Shu had no intention of walking on the street with Nanami Kento (no), he had already made a gesture to Haibara Ai, and the two of them turned around and left while Nanami Kento was in a daze. The thick carpet completely covered up the sound of their footsteps.
The two of them went back to the room where they slept that night and sat on the bed facing each other. Shiori Huihara was stuffed with two big, sweet oranges and was peeling them in a very happy mood.
Although castle exploration is a bit boring and having a sorcerer around is a bit unbearable, he feels extremely comfortable as long as he is not working and does not have to compete with the protagonists on the set.
Haibara Ai felt that Haibara Wataru was a little more lively tonight, and couldn't help but ask him what he thought of Nanami Kento.
"What do I think of that uncle?" Huiyuan Shi said in surprise, "I don't like him very much, but I don't hate him either."
He consoled her, "He's probably just a guest who's here to borrow our money. He'll leave after he's done his job. He won't affect us."
After Nanami Kento exorcises the cursed spirit, he will probably have to go back to work overtime and cannot stay here any longer. On the other hand, he is eating, drinking and having fun with these kids here... It feels so good in comparison!
Thinking about how he is about to successfully escape from the life of a corporate slave, Shigeru Haihara said that he would forgive Kento Nanami for always staring at him.
When a worker meets a worker who is more of a social beast than himself, the weakness of human nature will make him feel much happier in comparison.
Huihara Ai watched him laugh as he spoke, looking very happy, but she was worried. As expected, that man was not a good person. Xiao Shi had only known him for a short time, but she trusted him so much.
Looks like we still need to keep a closer eye on it...
At this moment, there was a loud scream suddenly from outside, accompanied by lightning that flashed past the window, as if it was a scene from a horror movie.
Haibara Wataru strictly abided by his character setting, his expression changed in a second, and he looked at Haibara Ai with tears in his eyes: "Sister, I'm scared."
The corners of Haibara Ai's mouth twitched. She was smiling one second and crying the next. Her ability to store tears is better than most actors on TV.
She now understands that Haibara Wataru is essentially a little drama queen, and he is the type who can't act with all his heart. Although he is still as coquettish as before, he is much easier to appease than someone who really cries.
Looking at the well-behaved and cute child, Huihara Ai still softened her heart. As expected, she only cares about looks.
"Don't be afraid, it's nothing serious." She waved the detective badge in her hand, "We'll go down later, and Edogawa will notify us."
Even though Haibara Ai didn't go out with Edogawa Conan every day, she was already very accustomed to the ridiculous probability of encountering cases whenever she went out.
Sure enough, soon the voice of Conan Edogawa came from the detective badge: "Haihara, Ayumi, can you hear me?"
"Something happened in the lobby on the first floor. Please stop your adventure and gather in the restaurant."
The rooms of several people were all on the third floor, so the two people who had been slacking off in advance slowly walked downstairs and waited for a while before the other members of the Junior Detective Team came over.
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko looked gloomy, and no one knew where they went to look for treasure. The little girl said with regret, "I feel like we are only one step away from the treasure."
Guangyan nodded: "We found a secret passage in the cellar of the castle. There are many messy scratches inside. Unfortunately, there are too many, and the light of the watch is not complete..."
For a moment, Haibara Shigeru didn't know whether to complain about the two of them for not being panic at all about going on an adventure in the dark on a rainy night, something that even adults would be afraid of, or for being so calm when hearing the screams.
Soon, Edogawa Conan came up, and he panted and said, "Mr. Uramichi Kanato has been murdered. The murderer has not been found yet. You guys should pay attention to your safety."
In addition to Conan Edogawa, several people from the Xiqi family, including the maid Araki Miko, arrived at the hall. They all looked solemn, and it was obvious that they were very frightened.
Xiqi Mina's face turned pale, and she looked like she was about to faint from the shock.
"There's still no signal on the phone, and I can't contact the police at all." Arashi Miko cried, holding the phone in her hand, and the busy tone kept coming. "It might be the lightning."
Dr. Agasa said: "Let's gather here first. The murderer may be from outside. If we disperse, accidents may happen easily."
"Well, where is the uncle who came to take shelter from the rain?" Conan Edogawa scanned the room and asked Huihara Ai.
"We separated halfway." Huiyuan frowned and said, "Because Xiaoshi said his legs hurt after walking for a long time, we went back to the room to rest, while the uncle continued walking."
"He doesn't have a detective badge, how can we contact him?" Guangyan sighed, "The phone call can't be connected either. I don't know if the uncle brought the flashlight properly."
Conan Edogawa asked about the time and location of their separation, frowning: "Mr. Rideau was still fine at that time..."
Could it be that Nanami Kento went to kill Mr. Ridori after separating from Haibara? But there is no motive for this.
Xiqi Qingren paced frantically with his hands behind his back. He placed the gas gun he used for self-defense on the dining table. He sighed and said, "Why don't I go find him? It's not safe now."
"Master, don't go..." Arashi Miko stammered, "That gentleman doesn't look like a good person. What if he killed Master Lidao..."
“It is indeed possible.”
Conan Edogawa winked at Professor Agasa and hid behind the door, speaking with a voice-changing bow.
Dr. Agasa was forced to show a serious expression, and then lip-synced: "I took a quick look at the cause of death of Mr. Kanato Sarimichi. He was stabbed in the abdomen by a dagger, and died of massive hemorrhage to the spleen. He was lying face down on the ground, and the knife was stabbed from bottom to top. It is possible that he fell from the second floor and then fell on the knife."
"At present, the police cannot intervene directly. This method is possible for anyone to do. We cannot rule out the possibility that the murderer is among us."
"You mean, one of us could be the murderer!" Arashi Miko said quickly, "How is that possible! How could we all hurt Master Lidao!"
"Maybe it was that missing gentleman who did it!"
Conan Edogawa narrowed his eyes. From his angle, Arao Miko's expression seemed to be one of uncontrollable panic.
"That uncle has red marks on his sleeves, but he said it was ketchup from lunch." Huihara Wataru pretended to be innocent and said, "Sister, is that ketchup?"
Haibara Ai held his hand without saying anything.
When people heard his words, they felt horrified.
Especially Ayumi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Could that uncle be, kill, kill..."
She didn't utter the remaining two words, but she was obviously much more scared.
The little girl looked at Huihara Ai and Huihara Wataru guiltily: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have agreed to team up with that bad uncle for you two. Fortunately, both of you are fine..."
Huiyuan Ai said calmly: "It's okay. Since he didn't reveal it in front of us, it means he may have other plans."
Yoshida Ayumi's expression became even more horrified.
It's even more frightening to hear this, Conan Edogawa couldn't help but show his dead fish eyes.
Xiqi Haruto patted the maid's shoulder, then walked over to his daughter and gave her a comforting hug.
Nishiki Mina, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up with clear logic: "How about this, there is a loudspeaker in my room. We input the content and put the loudspeaker in the living room. If Mr. Nanami hears it, he will naturally come to the restaurant to meet us. If he doesn't show up, then we will call the police together tomorrow."
"Dad, your car should be able to drive out." She turned and asked Xiqi Haruto.
Xiqi Qingren nodded. Since no one else had any objections, this would be the temporary arrangement.
There were so many children present, and in order to prevent the murderer from appearing and causing harm, everyone decided to sleep on the floor in the restaurant together.
No matter what, the fact that Kento Nanami has not appeared has made many people silently alert.
Only Conan Edogawa bravely ran to the corridor to look for clues, looking like a detective lost in thought, not realizing that he was not a student at all.
…
Nanami Kento, who didn't know that many people had identified him as a murderer, climbed up to the roof in the rain.
It was already late at night. After walking through the corridor, he ended his exploration without permission, jumped out of the castle through the window, checked the surrounding terrain, and after confirming the direction where he could lure the cursed spirit over and kill it, he began to act.
The second-level cursed spirit that looked like an upside-down octopus waved its tentacles, and the sticky green liquid on them slid down along with the rain and fell onto the roof, dyeing the roof a thick layer of green.
When Nanami Kento stood on it, he felt his feet were sliding down and it was extremely difficult to keep his balance.
He took out a short knife from the inner pocket of his suit and stabbed it at the eyes of the cursed spirit, which were like bronze bells. Green liquid splashed, and the cursed spirit groaned in pain, moving towards him while waving its tentacles.
it works!
As long as the cursed spirits can be led from the roof to other places, they will not affect ordinary people living in the castle.
Nanami Kento smiled coldly. This time he had brought a lot of newly bought cursed tools with him. Except for the weapons that he was always familiar with, all of them could be used one by one. Anyway, Gojo Satoru promised that his expenses would be reimbursed before he found out about Haibara Wataru. He just happened to run into them this time, so it was almost like getting them for free.
Thus, with strong winds, heavy rain, lightning and thunder, a fierce battle began between the man and the cursed spirit on the roof. As knives as long as table knives stabbed into his body, the cursed spirit became more and more violent, chasing Kento Nanami's movements to the corner, and soon jumped off the roof.
Only a duang sound was heard, and the castle shook slightly.
The huge cursed spirit chased Nanami Kento into the forest, knocking down many trees in the process, like a bulldozer.
The people in the castle could only feel the roof shaking slightly and occasional wall debris falling down. For a moment, they thought it was an earthquake.
Most people were asleep at this time. Haibara Wataru was sleeping in the corner. Only the adults, Haibara Ai and Edogawa Conan were awake.
"I'll go out and take a look. If it's an earthquake, remember not to run upstairs or outside. Find a corner to hide. There are a lot of trees outside and it's very dangerous." Xiqi Qingren stood up and was about to go downstairs.
Conan Edogawa quickly followed.
Haibara Ai watched the shaking disappear, tucked the quilt corner for Haibara Shibuya again, and then lay down.
But soon, the door was opened with a "bang", and Conan Edogawa rushed in, pulling Haibara Ai, who had just lay down, out.
"What are you doing!" Haibara Ai was pulled out of the door for no apparent reason, and looked at Conan in confusion, "The children are all asleep, and everything should be fine now that the earthquake has stopped."
"You, don't you know medical skills?" Conan Edogawa took two breaths, handed her the medicine box that he had found from somewhere, and then pulled her downstairs.
"Mr. Xiqi originally wanted to open the door to take a look, but as soon as he opened the door, many sharp short knives fell from it. One of them pierced his shoulder directly. If he hadn't reacted quickly, there would probably be another casualty."
Conan Edogawa had a solemn expression on his face, it had been a long time since he had encountered a criminal who challenged him face to face. He had already gathered all the personnel in the restaurant, but he still set up traps, as if he had foreseen that they would send people out to check.
If he had gone out first, he would have been the one hurt by the knife.
Was this a random killing?
Conan Edogawa was tense and planned to check the scene of Uramichi Kanato again.
On the other side, Kento Nanami, who quickly broke the cursed spirit's weakness and completed his task, wiped the rain off his face and planned to steal the cub.
The author has something to say: The knife will fall: the roof is covered with the slime of cursed spirits, it is sloped + washed by rain, so it will slide down slowly, and the vibration caused by opening the door will cause it to fall.
Nanami Kento: Why are you messing with me?
