Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 274 Lipstick Imprint
Having said this, Xiaolan looked at Koko Yonehara and asked with concern: "Teacher Yonehara, is it on your neck too?"

"Although I resisted for a while, I lost consciousness in the end. I don't know what happened after that." Yonehara Koko heard this and shook his head, pulling his collar down, and everyone could see her clearly. There were no strangulation marks similar to Sonoko's on his neck.

At this time, Yangzi on the side confirmed: "Teacher Yonehara, you were covering your forehead when you got up just now. Were you injured there when you resisted?"

"Hey, that's true." As he spoke, Yonehara Koko raised his right hand and gently lifted his hair, revealing his injured forehead and explained, "Look, when I was resisting, the other party pushed my head against the wall. Several times.”

"Mr. Yonehara, what happened to your hand?" Nakamura Minori, who was standing directly opposite Yonehara Koko, suddenly said in horror when he saw the mark on his hand.

"What is this?! Mi?" Mihara Koko immediately looked at the back of her hand after being reminded like this, and said in surprise, "Is this lipstick? Can you tell me!"

Then she picked up the handbag next to her and rummaged through it immediately, and found that her lipstick was indeed missing.

"Look, there are words written with lipstick on Yuanzi's hand." After hearing the other party mention that the lipstick was taken away, Xiaolan also discovered the mark on the back of Yuanzi's hand and showed it to everyone, "Here are na, mi and na... "

"Mi na ko ro shi, kill them all." At this moment, a gloomy voice came from outside the door, and Mori Atoshi said his conclusion as if he was watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, "I I think this is the message the attacker wanted to convey to you."

"You are really lucky, no one died, but this time you can't twist and cover up the truth like you did three years ago."

"Are you done with this person? Why are you talking nonsense here!" After hearing the other party's words, Shimoda Kohei finally couldn't help but angrily yelled, "I think you are the criminal who attacked Sonoko and Yonehara-sensei. Stop pretending to shirk responsibility here. !”

"You have to be responsible when you say this. When the little girl screamed just now, I was still warming up in front of the fireplace." Hearing this, Suntons raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, "But is this okay? Let a kid chase a criminal alone or something?"

After hearing the other party's reminder, everyone realized that Conan had climbed out of the window and followed the footprints in the snow, and everyone looked shocked.

"Conan, come back quickly!" The anxious Xiaolan wanted to catch up, but she couldn't worry about Yuanzi in her arms.

"Don't worry, I'll chase him." After Yangzi left these words to Xiaolan, he also turned out of the window. While chasing Conan, he also paid attention to the two rows of footprints, one large and one small, on the snow.

After following the footprints around the side of the house, Yangzi soon caught up with Conan at the main entrance of the villa, and the previous footprints also broke off right here. This was undoubtedly conveying a message to the two of them - the prisoner was at the moment. In this villa!
"What? The prisoner is in this house?!" After hearing the news brought back by Yoko and Conan, several women in the house showed uneasy expressions.

"But those are not necessarily the footprints left by the prisoner, right?" The two male teachers had questions about the person who made the footprints, and felt that everyone was making a fuss. "You are really stupid. Sister Xiaolan kicked the door lock of that room to get in!" Seeing the two of them foolishly questioning his own judgment, Conan couldn't help but sneered with his dead eyes.

Just when Conan wanted to continue talking, someone grabbed the collar behind his neck and pulled him up. He was startled and quickly turned his head, and what greeted him was Xiaolan's stern words. Preaching: "Conan, it's so rude of you to speak like that. Apologize quickly! Besides, it was very dangerous for you to chase the prisoner alone just now. Leave me alone and reflect on it!"

Seeing that Xiaolan was really angry, Conan immediately apologized to the two of them and admitted his mistake. Then he walked to the bed and stood up, pretending to admit his mistake and reflect on it, and began to observe the unconscious Sonoko on the bed.

Xiaolan also slowly exhaled after seeing Conan humbly admitting his mistake, and explained to the two male teachers with a smile: "Shimoda-sensei, Itai-sensei, although Conan's tone is a bit rude, I think he means something. Logically speaking, since the door of the room is locked from the inside, the prisoner can only escape through the window."

"That's true." After hearing Xiaolan's well-founded inference, Ryuichi Itai also felt that the fact was very likely to be what the other party said. After a brief thought, he said, "I think, this must not have happened yet. Mr. Sugiyama is responsible for this, I’m afraid this is a prank he carried out to scare us!”

"Stop joking!" At this moment, Yonehara Koko, who had just treated the wound on her forehead, couldn't help but shouted angrily, "Not to mention my situation, Suzuki-san was strangled! What if? If it’s just a prank, it’s really too much!”

At this point, she turned to the two male teachers and complained: "And you, too. When two girls here were attacked, where were you two grown men?"

"There's nothing I can do. I was taking a shower at that time..." Hearing the other party's somewhat unreasonable accusations, Shimoda Kohei reluctantly stated the reason why he couldn't arrive at the first time.

"I was alone in the room listening to music with headphones, so I didn't hear anything going on outside." Ryuichi Itai on the side explained, scratching his head apologetically.

Seeing that the three of them were likely to quarrel over this matter, Minori Nakamura, who had checked Sonoko's body, handed her over to Xiaolan and Yoko to take care of her, then turned around and reminded the three companions not to disturb the wounded person's rest here, and then pushed her away. Several people left the room.

Noticing Nakamura Minori's soaked trouser legs, Conan also walked out of the room, stopped him in the corridor, pretended to be a curious baby, and asked: "Teacher Nakamura, where were you when you were not in the kitchen just now? ah?"

"Ah, you said that at that time, because the gas didn't seem to be flowing smoothly, I went to check outside the kitchen." After hearing Conan's question, Nakamura Minori explained calmly, "After that, Sawabe-san came to look for me. I did it, and they helped me solve the pipe problem, which was a big help.”

"By the way, the curry for tonight's dinner is still being cooked in the kitchen. I have to hurry over and take a look!" At this point, Nakamura Minori finally remembered the two large pots she had forgotten and hurried to the kitchen.

The other teachers also returned to their rooms to deal with the unfinished business, leaving Conan standing alone in the corridor to carefully analyze everyone's alibi.
