Chapter 167

Bai Shu looked left and right: Conan and Hattori Heiji were leaning on the door frame, thinking about the murderer's intentions and possible flaws, completely immersed in their own small world of reasoning.

Others quarreled and quarreled, watched the battle, and none of them came out to take the lead in solving the case.

Bai Shu propped his face and waited bored for several minutes before he suddenly remembered that in the original track, it seemed to be Kogoro Mori's job to take the lead in finding clues.

"...", I should have fooled him if I knew it earlier, betting on horses is not as important as solving a case!
However, no matter how regretful he was, Bai Shu could only clear his throat, and took over the role of Kogoro Mori:
"Stop, stop arguing. Rather than having unreasonable doubts and questioning, why don't you solve the problem in the way that Sherlock Holmes you adore—such as reasoning first?"

When the fans heard the idol's name, they finally calmed down a little and looked at him together.

Bai Shu thought for a while about how a normal detective would ask questions, and then said according to the procedure, "Last night, after Mr. Jin Gu left the scene, who else saw him?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one nodded.

After dinner, most of them stayed in their rooms to study the questions and compared their hearts. They all felt that this must be the case for other people.

As for those who don't need to brush the questions...

Countless eyes focused on the waiter one after another, and the physical education teacher said bluntly, "You must have seen him, such as delivering him meals or something."

The waiter waved his hands again and again, "The boss is on a diet recently, and he always eats healthy meals in his own room, and I didn't see him after yesterday's dinner."

"……yes."

Although the saying "eating in the room for three or four meals" is a bit suspicious, but considering Jin Gu's overweight figure, and his behavior of leaving the stage without dinner yesterday, everyone didn't ask this question any more. Very timid looking staff.

Jin Gu's whereabouts in the past 30 hours has been completely lost.And the corpse that could provide many clues fell down the cliff and couldn't be retrieved for a while. This case is very difficult.

Maria Toda clasped her hands, subconsciously wanting to look up at the starry sky again, but this is indoors, she looked out piously, and did not see the sky, only the plainly decorated ceiling and the...

"Camera!"

She suddenly exclaimed, "Remember? In order to prevent us from cheating, Mr. Jingu said that every room is equipped with a camera. Just call up the surveillance screen to see who has contacted Mr. Jingu..."

"No way." The waiter began to shake her head again, shaking her head, and she was also a little desperate: she denied everyone's proposals one after another, why was her behavior so suspicious.

But as the only employee of the hotel, she could only bite the bullet and explain:

"I'm sorry, but those cameras are all fake - except for the two days when the 'Holmes Tour' is held every year, at other times, we are ordinary hotels. According to regulations, such things cannot be installed in guest rooms, so this Just a model to deter competitors."

The shortcut he thought of was cut off halfway, and everyone sighed in disappointment.

Hattori Heiji finally recovered from his own reasoning, and said what he thought of just now:
"Although there are too many unknown factors, now we can at least know that the murderer got the owner into the car at around 03:30 in the morning, started the car, and then drove towards the cliff, so..."

"So, the seven people staying in the living room are unlikely to take action." Conan answered without any sense of crisis, completely unaware that Hattori Heiji shut his mouth tightly after he spoke, and began to use strange words again. Stealth glances at him.

Conan pointed to the four people on the other side, namely Fujisawa Toshiaki who was smoking a cigarette, Toda Maria who was whispering, the gloomy Shimizu Nanako, and the physical education teacher Kawazu Ikuo, "In other words, how many of you There is some suspicion."

Ayako Oki watched for a while, then suddenly pushed Kento Toto away from her arm, approached Hattori Heiji, and whispered in his ear, "Hey, did you find the one you were looking for just now?"

Hattori Heiji was taken aback by her. After a pause for two seconds, he subconsciously answered in a low voice, "No, the ground is very clean."

"Is that so?" Oki Ayako suddenly sneered with the corners of her lips curled up.

The others were horrified by her sudden smile, and looked at her one after another, "...what's wrong with you?"

Oki Ayako took out the cigarette case, threw out a cigarette neatly, and lit it between two fingers.

She took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and said softly, "I already know who the murderer is, the methods he used, and the decisive evidence."

"what?!!"

In the rising smoke, Ayako Oki looked up at the beautifully designed craft watch on the wall of the hall, and said with a smile, "I'll give you 10 minutes to think about it. If you don't want to be exposed, you'd better bow your head and plead guilty."

After saying this, she stepped on her high heels and walked out the door. Kento Toto was startled and hurried to follow, "Ayako, where are you going?"

With a cigarette in her mouth, Oki Ayako replied vaguely, "Go to the bathroom."

"After saying this, you still dare to act alone?!"

"Why not? There is only one murderer, but there are so many people protecting me. There is nothing to worry about..."

The sound of their footsteps and conversation gradually faded away, leaving the Sherlock Holmes fans and detectives in the living room relatively silent.

Before everything happened, it seemed that the dust had settled. Conan and Hattori Heiji sat back on the sofa gloomily, comforting each other, "She must have found some clues that we don't know about."

"Well, it must be so."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other strangely, and then turned their eyes away with their own thoughts.

After Bai Shu brought up the topic, he resolutely found a corner to sit down and rest, even the tea was already brewed.

He picked up his teacup and drank slowly.

At this moment, Xiaolan hesitated and said, "Actually... I saw Miss Ayako during the day, and she looked a little strange."

Due to the subtle similarity between Hattori Heiji and Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan has a good impression of this black-skinned detective, let alone Conan, and volunteered to help them analyze:
"It was about after lunch, and when I was going back to my room, I met her in the hallway.

"As soon as she saw me, she unnaturally hid a stack of papers behind her back. At that time, I thought she was holding an exam paper... Was it some important clue?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji hadn't spoken yet, a group of extras got excited and analyzed in a hurry, "A stack of papers? Our books and notes have been taken away, and there are no other papers in the room. She must be taking the exam papers." !"

"I remembered, she didn't come to dinner at noon, and I still ate her dessert..."

"Could it be that you sneaked into our room to peek at the answer while we were away?"

"...What's the answer? What's the matter?" The door was suddenly opened, and Shihu Yanren walked in, asking doubtfully.

Oki Ayako is no longer by his side.
