Be the god of death in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 139

Kogoro Mori pulled up Conan who was lying on the ground, looked around, and found that the two groups of people who searched the villa were all gathered here.

Mifune Takuya also had a bruise on his face, because he hadn't seen the road clearly just now and bumped into the door frame.

The irritable old man pressed the bruise angrily, glared at Kogoro Mouri and the others, and asked the teacher, "Who turned off the light?!"

"Obviously we weren't locked up." Bai Shu felt that this question was meaningless, so he glanced at him, and helped him finish the second half of the sentence, "Looking at your reaction, it wasn't you who locked it up, right?"

General Muta nodded, and his eyes fell on the smashed window next to the electric switch:
"It seems that other than us, there are other people hiding in this villa. While we were searching the room just now, he ran here and cut off the power, broke the window, and fled into the forest."

For a while, no one asked why the man didn't open the window and slip away instead of smashing the window with great fanfare.

They only remember that the window was broken a few seconds before the light was turned on - the person who broke the glass must have not gone far!
Mifune Taku also rolled up his sleeves, scolded the bastard who temporarily disfigured him, jumped out of the window and chased into the woods.

The others gave him a hand, but they didn't. They could only look at his back, struggling between following or not.

It was at this time that Takashi Yizhi rushed out, and he shouted anxiously, "It's too dangerous to be alone, wait for me!"

Someone took the lead, and the others immediately chased into the forest.

Bai Shu ran forward at first, then gradually released the water, and when the people behind him overtook him one by one, he stopped.

Just as he was about to walk back, he saw a figure just up to his waist having sex passing by, and when he ran beside him, that person stopped slightly.

Granny Mi patted his hand and said kindly, "Good boy, hurry back to the villa. It's easy to get lost in this forest. I'll show them the way."

"...Okay, you work hard." With a little admiration, Bai Shu watched her slowly run away, and then turned back to the villa.

When returning the same way, Bai Shu looked down slightly, and found that the window edge was a little dirtier than when he left, it looked as if muddy water had been rubbed on it, and it had been wiped off hastily.

It appears that the murderer has returned to the villa.

Bai Shu looked away, raised his legs, stepped over the narrow window sill, and landed on the corridor.

He looked around, and instead of going to the living room where Xiaolan was resting, he turned and went to the kitchen.

There were still seven or eight meters away from there, and the rushing sound of water flowing into the sink was heard first.

Bai Shu was not in a hurry to go in. He cleared his throat while walking, raised his voice and asked inwardly, "Grandma Mi, can you help me make some hot tea?"

There was a muffled bang from the door, and a few seconds later, there was another sound: the people inside left through the back door of the kitchen.

Only then did Bai Shu open the door and go in. When he looked up, he saw that the large sink was filled with water, and Xiaolan was hanging on his stomach in front of the sink, with his face buried in the water, his arms and legs were flailing feebly, trying to stand up. stand up.

Bai Shu stepped forward quickly, picked her up from the sink, and laid her flat on the ground.

Xiaolan coughed twice, not too violently. It seemed that she was still conscious when she was pushed into the water just now, and she held her breath for a while.

Her eyes were hazy, and she couldn't see who the person next to her was. She only vaguely knew that this was not the murderer who forced her into the water just now.

So she used all her strength to forcefully grab Bai Shu's sleeve, whispering in a sleepy voice, "Murderer... murderer..."

Bai Shu didn't answer, he looked at her face for a while, and found that she was only sleepy because of the anesthetic, and didn't choke on the water, so he patted her reassuringly, "Go to sleep, he can't run away."

Xiaolan muttered something again in a daze, before she finished speaking, her hands dropped to the ground and she closed her eyes.

Bai Shu got up and turned off the faucet that was still running. Almost at the same time, there was a roar in the corridor, from far to near, "Xiaolan! Where are you? Answer me, Xiaolan!!"

While shouting, Conan's short figure passed by the door.

"...", Bai Shu didn't call him, he leaned over and picked up Xiaolan from the cold ground.

As soon as he stood up straight, he saw Conan, who had rushed over his head just now, rushed back, slammed on the brakes at the door, grabbed the door frame, and looked into the room while panting.

He looked at Xiaolan's drenched blouse in a little daze, and then his eyes slid over the sink filled with water.

Combined with Nikaido who died tragically in the fountain at the entrance, Conan quickly made up what happened just now, "Why did you..."

"I chased Mifune Takuya halfway through, accidentally sprained my foot, and came back early. As soon as I entered the window, I heard the sound of water filling in the kitchen. Then I heard someone slipping out from the back door. When I opened the door, I saw Lan was lying by the pool and you came over at the end - any questions?"

"..." Conan was blocked for a few seconds and didn't say a word. After a while, he finally found the point, "...Xiaolan is okay."

"You should be called Sister Xiaolan." Bai Shuping took Xiaolan in his arms and took two steps forward. Suddenly, he realized that his posture was wrong. He quickly raised one foot under Conan's suspicious eyes again, and limped towards the reception room. .

He jumped up and down, and Xiaolan in his arms also bumped up and down. Conan watched this scene with a toothache, and felt sorry for Xiaolan himself.

After walking a few steps like this, he suddenly became alert, "Wait a minute, why are you walking so unsteadily, Xiaolan hasn't woken up yet, what's wrong with her?!"

"Asleep, maybe there was something in the coffee before. She was already like this before we searched the room, have you forgotten?"

Bai Shu dealt with the nervous child all the way, and finally successfully jumped into the living room.

He put Xiaolan back on the sofa, then turned around, went to the bedroom not far away to find a clean T-shirt, and threw it to Conan.

"What are you doing?" Conan hugged the T-shirt, puzzled.

"Change for Xiaolan, the clothes are too wet and you can easily catch a cold."

"..."

Seeing Conan's instantly flushed face, Bai Shu leaned back on the sofa comfortably, and unceremoniously continued to instruct the child laborer, "After changing it, go to boil a pot of water and make some black tea——I have a sprained ankle, and it is inconvenient to walk around."

……

When Mori Kogoro and the others returned to the villa one after another under the leadership of Granny Mi, they saw a tray of steaming black tea and Xiaolan wrapped in a blanket resting on the sofa.

Before the big men with rough nerves noticed something was wrong, Conan had already started to report, "Uncle Maori, sister Xiaolan was attacked just now!"

"What?!" Mouri Kogoro immediately looked at his daughter nervously. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong except that his hair was a little wet and his clothes seemed to have been changed.

He breathed a sigh of relief, looked away from the daughter, and looked at the assistant next to him who seemed to be more reliable than the bear child, "What's going on?"

Bai Shu put down the empty teacup, refilled himself, and replayed the details like a situation explainer:
"In chronological order—probably the murderer put medicine in the coffee to make Xiaolan fall asleep, then turned off the power of the villa in some way, broke the window, and led us into the forest. Finally, he took the opportunity to return to the villa and put Xiaolan took her to the kitchen and tried to drown her."

"Grandma Mi and Xiaolan made the coffee, but when Xiaolan was attacked, Granny Mi was beside me, so she was not the murderer who attacked Xiaolan."

Mori Kogoro grabbed his mustache, tried hard to analyze, and then came to the conclusion, "Except Granny Mi, the others are all suspects!"
