The Working Emperor starts with Conan

Chapter 148 Let me tell a story
  Nikaido Yuji died while searching for Yotsui Reika.

When Aunt Mi confirmed that there was no one in Reika Yotsui's room, everyone, led by Shoji Rokuta, began to search the villa for the "disappeared" Reika Yotsui.

After searching in the villa to no avail, someone turned their attention to the woods outside the villa and speculated whether Reika Yotsui might have gotten lost while walking in the woods.

Then the group of people ran into the woods to find Reika Yotsui.

Toyama Tobi and Amuro Toru did not join their search for Yotsui Reika.

According to Toyama Tobi, he didn't ask for a place in the Sijing Group, so he didn't need to play the game of knight looking for princess with the wayward young lady.

If Toyama Tobi doesn't go, Amuro Toru will naturally not go. Aunt Mi, the housekeeper of the Sii family, accompanies Toyama Fei and the others in the living room, waiting for everyone to return after searching.

Then, they waited for the bad news of Nikaidou Yuji's death.

Nikaido Yuji was drowned in the fountain outside the villa.

Several people who went out to look for Reika Yotsui hurried back to the villa, and happened to see Tobi Toyama, Toru Amuro playing cards with Aunt Mi.

Toru Amuro raised his head and looked at the shocked people in surprise: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Nikaido, Nikaido was killed!" Shoji Rokuda tried his best to calm his breathing, and then said with a complicated expression.

Rokuda Shoji had a guess as soon as he saw Nikaido Yuji.

Those of them who just went out to look for the eldest lady spent most of their time together.

Then the people who have the opportunity to kill Nikaido Yuji are probably the two outsiders in the villa who did not act with them!

Of course, there is also a possibility that Reika Yotsui, who has been missing, is the murderer of Nikaido.

But Reika Yosui, a girl, wanted to force the head of an adult man into a fountain and drown him. No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible.

Feeling Rokuta Shoji's suspicion, Toyama Tobi leaned on the sofa and said:

"Since you left the villa, the two of us have been staying in the living room with Aunt Mi.

Even when Aunt Mi went to get the cards, we both went together.

Mr. Rokuda, your suspicion is somewhat unreasonable. It is impossible for us to kill the person. "

"Sorry." Rokuta Shoji nodded solemnly. Nikaidou Yuji's death made him very worried.

He was not worried about Nikaido Yuji's death. A potential husband for a young lady like Nikaido was most valuable only when he was alive.

Now that Nikaido Yuji is dead, the value of nature has been cleared.

Rokuta Shoji was worried that the missing eldest lady might have had the same accident as Nikaido.

Unlike Toyama Tobi, who had nothing to do with him and hung up high, Amuro Toru had just been staying by Toyama Tobi's side.

He naturally knew that Nikaido's death could not be caused by Toyama Tobi.

This means that there is a murderer hiding himself around the villa, or even in the villa, who is watching them covetously.

More importantly, if the murderer is not found out quickly, the situation for Reika Yotsui will be in danger.

Fortunately, Toru Amuro also has a part-time job as a detective. It is easier to take the initiative in the investigation by speaking as a detective.

At Toru Amuro's suggestion, the group immediately decided to conduct a thorough search of the villa again.

Trying to find Reika Yotsui who is hiding somewhere or being hidden somewhere.

As usual, Yuan Shan Fei did not participate.

As expected by Yuan Shan Fei, this search still yielded nothing.

They searched every room in the villa, the wardrobe in the room, and even the refrigerator and microwave in the kitchen. But Reika Yotsui has still not been found.

A deep uneasiness lingered in everyone's hearts, and no one was sleepy for a while.

Everyone originally thought about calling the police, but unfortunately there was something wrong with the villa's phone.

The signal in the mountains is not good, and there is no signal at all on mobile phones.

As for Yuan Shan Fei's car, someone had its tires damaged.

There was no choice but for the group of people to wait for dawn and the rain to stop, and prepare to wait for the car from the Yotsui family to pick up Reika Yotsui the next day.

This sitting lasted all night.

At Toyama Fei's suggestion, everyone sat together and played Texas Hold'em poker in the middle of the night.

When they played until about six o'clock in the morning, when it was Toyama Fei's turn to place a bet, Toyama Fei used his chips to hold down his trump card and smiled at everyone.

"How about I tell you a story before I raise the stakes?"

Everyone was confused for a moment, but they didn't mind hearing Yuan Shan Fei's story.

Yuan Shanfei's cup was replaced with vodka this time. After taking a sip, Yuan Shan Fei put down the glass and said:

"This story happened two years ago. Two years ago, a group of people from the yacht club anchored on an island near here and then dispersed to play.

But they didn't know that the storm was coming soon.

When the thunderstorm came, most of the people returned to the yacht to take refuge, but only two people in the group did not return.

One was fishing on the boat and the other stayed on the island.

That island will sink under the sea every time the tide rises.

So one of the brave men in the group braved the storm resolutely and risked his life to put on a life jacket and prepare to return to the island to rescue the people who stayed on the island.

Half a day later, the two people were rescued and sat on the rubber boat, but the original warrior was not among the two rescued people. "

As soon as Toyama Tobi said these words, most of the people present changed their expressions, especially Ichieda Takashi, Gojo Osamu, and Rokuta Shoji.

"Hey, why are you talking about this at this time, and you.
  How did you know this? "The young Gojo Osamu stammered and asked Toyama Tobi. It seemed that they were very taboo about this matter.

"I am a detective's agent, so naturally I have to know something about everything." Toyama Tobi looked at them meaningfully:

"Don't you think it's strange? The two people who were rescued happened to be Nikaidou Yuji and Yotsui Reika.

Now one of the two people has been confirmed dead and drowned, and the other is confirmed missing."

"What do you mean?!" Toru Amuro suddenly understood that Nikaidou Yuji was drowned in the fountain.

This kind of killing technique has a strong sense of ritual, as if it is to let Nikaidou Yuji experience what others experienced two years ago.

Yuan Shanfei continued to the crowd as if it had nothing to do with him: "The warrior's body was later found, but the life jacket she was wearing was missing.

Two life jackets, two rescued people, is this number a coincidence? "

None of the people here are stupid, they can naturally hear the implication of Yuan Shan Fei's words.

General Rokuta reacted the fastest. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the silent Ichige Takashi in shock:

"Ichiji. You were the one who had the best relationship with Yaeko among our group back then, right?"

Amuro Toru looked at Ichidaka, who was still silent, and a bolt of lightning flashed across his brain!
  He knew where Reika Yosui was hidden!
