Conan: I'm really not a model worker at a winery

Chapter 663
Although Conan didn't understand what Lie meant when he said 'step by step', he had to admit that what Lie said was reasonable.

After all, what they guessed now, that the person who sent this threatening letter had the intention to kill someone, is just a conspiracy theory without evidence...

Just kidding, people haven't used a knife yet, where's the evidence?
If the person with the plan is caught now, even if there is clear evidence to prove that those letters were written by that person, the other party can still argue that it is just a prank of his own, and at most he will be fined a little for obstructing road traffic. , not even attempted murder.

And according to Lie's inspection when he entered the mansion, he found that there were too many things that could be used as murder weapons in this house, such as the ax held by the knight armor in the hall on the first floor - it was sharpened;
There are also other pendants in the mask exhibition hall, including but not limited to nails, knives, swords, hammers, hooks...

I don't know how Su Fang Hongzi can sleep peacefully in this dangerous house.

……

Since it was already late when they arrived, after visiting the Mask Hall, they were invited by Su Fang Hongzi to have dinner together.

All were well pleased with this lavish dinner.

And at the dinner table, chatting is unavoidable after the meal:

The protagonist in the chat was naturally Su Fanghongzi, and the main discussion was about Su Fanghongzi's charity work.

Su Fang Hongzi's main sponsors are orphans who lost their families due to car accidents, such as Aichuan Fuyuya; the reason for the other party to make such a choice is that about 20 years ago, one of her servants had an accident. Hit and run incidents.

And that maid committed suicide later... and the other party was actually Aikawa Fuyuya's mother.

When everyone was expressing Su Fang Hongzi's compassion and kindness, no one noticed that Conan and Lie were looking at Lanchuan Fuyuya with suspicion.

When Masaki Katagiri said that he would fully support the party, and revealed that his wife also died 20 years ago...

The suspicious eyes diverted a little more to him.

After dinner, Su Fang Hongzi specially called Mori Kogoro away, presumably for some commission, and the others were taken to the lounge for entertainment.

Those who play cards play cards, those who play billiards play billiards, and those who drink and brag... It's a lot of fun.

After a while, Mori Kogoro also came over to join the ranks of drinking and boasting, but on the surface it was completely impossible to see what Su Fang Hongzi said to him.

However, Lie and Conan didn't care much about this.

What they care about is...

"Mr. Lin, who do you think is the criminal?"

"Hiss~ This is a serious question, but right now, the two of them are the most suspect~"

Lie and Conan squatted in the corner, their eyes wandering between Aichuan Fuyuya and Katagiri Masaki.

Generally speaking, the homicides they encounter are either love killings or vendetta killings... Judging from the element of 'car accident', if someone really dies today, vendetta killings are most likely.

Thinking of this, Conan felt a little sad again:
When did he develop the bad habit of inferring who the murderer was before the crime happened?

So weird!

"By the way~ where do the two of them live?"

Lie asked suddenly.

"Mr. Lanchuan lives on the first floor on the east side, and Mr. Katagiri lives on the second floor on the same floor as us on the west side." Conan replied without thinking.

"Yeah~ and Sister Su Fang's room is on the third floor on the west side." Lie nodded, "Understood~ That means, no matter who commits the crime, they will definitely pass the stairs on the second floor~ right?"

The corners of Conan's eyes twitched: "Mr. Lin, don't you think..."

Lie snapped his fingers, smiling all over his face, "I think~ we can guard one side of the stairs at night~ What do you think?"

"... Leaving aside the issue of rest, have you forgotten the rules of other people's houses?" Conan's dead fish eyes were raised, "According to the regulations, those of us who live in the east room can only sleep after the curfew at night." Can I stay in the room on the east side?"

"...Huh? Is there anything~?"

Lie blinked.

At this moment, the clock was 10 minutes away from midnight, and the maid began to ask everyone to return to their respective rooms.

After twelve o'clock, the Hall of Masks will be locked, which means that the passages on the east and west sides are completely closed.

As for the reason, it was worried that the mischievous masks of Shoble would come out...but everyone thought it was nonsense.

In the end, Lie's plan to watch one side of the stairs by himself failed to be implemented - mainly because all the lights in the villa were extinguished, and none of them were turned on.

As a light and heat lover, Lie was very uncomfortable with this environment, so he decided to nest in the room and turn on all the lights that could be turned on, trying to gain some psychological warmth...

And by the way, Conan was brought over.

Originally, Lie was thinking about keeping watch with Conan, but they squatted on the bed for a while, and soon fell asleep until unconscious.

The two were still woken up by the ringing phone in the next room.

——jingle bell bell ~
——jingle bell bell ~
--jingle……

Lie opened his eyes, his vision was still cloudy, he rubbed his messy hair, and he threw Conan off the bed: "Conan~ There is a phone next door..."

Conan, who also just woke up, was forced to grab the ground with his face and fell hard before he could react.

Before Conan could complain to Lie, the ringing of the bell next door suddenly stopped.

Presumably, it was picked up by Mori Kogoro or Xiaolan.

Lie Neng could vaguely hear the voices next door.

However, the next second, the voice next door suddenly raised its voice: "What? Hello! Who are you?!"

Mori Kogoro's loud voice attracted Conan and Retsu's attention.

Conan suddenly realized that something happened, immediately got up from the ground, and ran out of the room in a hurry.

Lie also got off the bed immediately, but he wasn't as anxious as Conan, but first expanded his 'aura' to observe the mansion.

"...No blood?" Lie was a little surprised.

It's unbelievable that the prisoner hasn't done anything yet?

In a trance, Lie heard Mori Kogoro shouting outside again, telling Xiaolan and Conan to call Kasho Nami to bring up the key.

Suddenly, Lie seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised his head with a strange expression...

But after thinking for a while, he still walked out of the room to join Conan and the others.

And Xiaolan and Conan's movements were also very quick, and within a minute they grabbed the little maid who was still in her pajamas and opened the door of the mask hall.

"It's gone?! How is it possible!"

Lie followed behind, and when he heard Mori Kogoro's shout, he walked in suspiciously, "What? What's missing~?"

"Mask!" Mori Kogoro's face was not very good-looking, "Schoble's mask is all gone!"

It was only then that Lie realized belatedly that the display racks on both sides were empty.

He raised his eyebrows, and wanted to ask Mori Kogoro what the phone call said, when he heard a scream from upstairs.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of 'Kara Kala' being scattered...

Conan's expression changed: "Upstairs...is Ms. Su Fang's room!"

"Hey, what are you guys arguing about in the middle of the night?" Aikawa Fuyuya, who was sleeping next to Shimokasaho Nami, was probably also woken up, rubbing his eyes and coming up to complain, and he was also frightened by these disappearing masks without exception. one jump.

However, neither Conan nor Mori Kogoro had time to pay attention to him now, so Sa Yazi planned to rush upstairs.

Shimogasaho Nami reacted very quickly and quickly stopped them: "Well, Teacher Su Fang's room is on the west side, and you can't go up from here...I'll call Minaho immediately."

Lie silently stood by and watched the farce, the darkness hid the expression of interest on his face, and his eyes were always fixed on one person.

He just now feels the blood...

The murderer didn't kill until they entered the hall of masks, which can be described as very bold.

Together with the door on the west side was opened quickly, Mori Kogoro and Conan were the first to bear the brunt, rushed to the third floor, and slammed on Su Fang Hongzi's bedroom door: "Ms. Su Fang! How are you? Hello!"

Lie followed him upstairs, saw Conan and the others blocked by the gate, his eyes gradually brightened, and he touched the wire in his pocket, eager to try: "So what? Do you want me to help open the door?"

Both Conan and Mori Kogoro were taken aback.

Shimokasaho Nami lowered her voice: "Master Lie, Teacher Su Fang still has a lock inside the door, it's useless to open it from the outside..."

strong:"……"

Hey, he still wants to use his strengths!

"Well, Mr. Lin, you have a way..." Conan turned his head.

Before he finished speaking, Lie had already walked to the door, motioning for Kogoro Mori to get out of the way.

Under the gazes of everyone attracted by their restlessness, he kicked open the heavy wooden door—most of the door was weakly leaning inward, while the padlock was still on the door frame.

I have to say, the quality of this door is outstanding.

Barriers were brute-forced and hallway lights were able to illuminate bedrooms.

What was presented in front of everyone was the Shoble mask scattered all over the place, and...

Su Fanghongzi's cold corpse.
