Chapter 266
Perhaps the word "murderer" frightened the new monks, and the room was extremely silent for a while.

After a long pause, someone spoke.It turned out to be a new grandmother, the old man knocked on the table angrily: "Who allows him to use our bathroom?!"

"..." The rest of Conan's lines got stuck, and he smiled after a few seconds. With a child's face on his face, he continued as if he didn't hear the question:

"After my uncle conducted a few small experiments, he said that the murderer just used a clever trick to create a fake alibi... I didn't understand what was going on, but he said the truth was amazing, and he wanted to wait until after the bath , and then announce it later.”

"Wait a minute, he just wants to rub our bathtub!" The old lady seemed to be very obsessed with the bathtub.

"Forget it, grandma, let's listen to what he has to say first."

Shinde Akechi is very dissatisfied with Mori Kogoro's determination that there is a "murderer" in his family, but since the other party wants to announce the truth, he can only see what he has to say first, otherwise he will appear guilty.

In this way, more than 20 minutes passed.Several pots of tea made by the newly brewed Yoko were drunk, but Kogoro Mori still did not appear.

The patience of the new grandma ran out little by little, and finally, the bad-tempered old grandma jumped off the stool, ready to go to the bathroom to catch Mori Kogoro out.

When she passed by, the white tree closest to the door stopped her.

There was no need to stop for too long, after a few seconds, the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness again.

Last time there was a power outage and one person died after the call.

This time, Mao Lilan was even more frightened, but with the lesson of hugging the wrong person last time, she didn't dare to run around anymore, so she sat on a chair and asked worriedly: "I, my dad won't be shaving in the bathtub?" beard..."

"Probably. It's too dangerous, I hope there will be no electricity leakage." Bai Shu said worriedly.

These words were not intended to scare Xiaolan, but mainly to reassure the murderer.

The flashlight was used just now, and this time, Mrs. Xinchu easily found it in the drawer.

Baobenguang had consciously stood beside her, and stretched out his hand, "I'll check the switch, I won't get lost this time!"

"Well, I'll trouble you then." Shinde Yoko nodded and handed her the flashlight.

The circle of light gradually receded, and Shinde Zhiming turned to the ceiling in doubt: "Why is the power cut off again?"

The old lady held by Bai Shu finally stopped running around, she shook off Bai Shu's hand and snorted:
"Didn't the man with the moustache say he's going to do an experiment? I think he must have figured it out."

As soon as the voice fell, the lights in the whole house suddenly turned on.

At this time, only ten seconds had passed since the power outage, and several people looked at each other, wondering, "Why so fast?"

...Could it be that Hikaru Baoben ran at the speed of a [-]-meter sprint in such a dark environment?It's too hard.

……

Baobenguang, who was being chanted by them, didn't react at all.

Holding the flashlight, she trotted in the middle of the corridor, wondering whether to go back to the restaurant or continue to the switch to check the situation.

Before she could think about it, her feet followed the inertia and ran all the way to the corner leading to the switch.

Turning her head and taking a look, she was stunned—there was actually a man parked in front of the switch, a man with a very strange figure.

Baomoto shivered in shock, almost thinking that the murderer who killed the male master had returned.

Before she screamed out, the other party put down the hand that pulled the switch, turned to face her, and nodded politely.

It was only then that Hikaru Yasumoto recognized that this seemed to be a policeman who participated in the investigation just now, and his name seemed to be Takagi...

She touched the back of her head in doubt, "Mr. Police? Haven't you already left?"

"Well...theoretically, that's the case, but..." Takagi sighed, not knowing how to explain it for a while, so he just shut up and didn't speak.

……

In the restaurant, several people looked around, and after facing each other in a daze, they slowly realized something was wrong.

It seems something is missing.

The new grandmother rubbed her chin and asked strangely, "Where's my wife and the kid who runs errands?"

Bai Shu drank the last half cup of tea in his hand and put it back on the table. As soon as he left the cup, he saw Shinde Zhiming suddenly understood something.

Then the young man showed anger and anxiety, and rushed out the door quickly.

Bai Shu also got up and walked to the bathroom in a stroll, just after turning the corner, he saw the Mumu police station blocking the middle of the corridor like a mountain, preventing Shinde Zhiming from passing.

This "firewall" is very selective in its defense, Bai Shu patted the soul in his hand, and successfully passed the Mumu Police Department and headed for the destination.

He turned into the corridor leading to the bathroom, looked up, and saw Mori Kogoro sitting against the wall facing the bathroom door in a familiar posture.

In the bathroom opposite him, a female voice came out, carefully explaining:
"I just heard that you are going to use a razor to do experiments, so I came here out of worry. I'm afraid you will get an electric shock like my husband..."

"Mori Kogoro" chuckled:
"No, it's more like you want to kill me who knows the truth, and then pretend to be the one who found the body."

"...Are you trying to say that I am the murderer?" Shinde Yoko shook his head in confusion:

"When the power went out last time, I was on the phone at the door of the kitchen, and I didn't leave during the power outage."

Conan felt that Kogoro Mori should also shake his head at this moment, but unfortunately he is currently hiding behind the potted plant at the corner of the corridor, a short distance from Kogoro Mori, and cannot operate.

So I had no choice but to move my mouth regretfully:
"That proves nothing. Just short out the power with a timer, and you can go to the bathroom with this pencil-shaped flashlight you're holding in your hand, and talk to your husband, get his attention, and take advantage of him. Unprepared, put the razor and extension cord in the tub.

"And then you go back to the restaurant. That way, when someone flips the switch, your husband will be electrocuted to death if you have an alibi.

"And it's not difficult to make a phone call. The extension of your home phone is very portable. You use it to talk to your classmates along the way. When you come to the bathroom, you then use your mobile phone to dial the landline. In this way, the line will be temporarily busy. You can Use this time to have a conversation with your husband."

Bai Shu put the furious soul on the window sill when he heard the truth, and told him to sit down and continue listening.

Sensing someone approaching, Conan glanced this way, and when he saw the white tree, he thought to himself that luckily he heard the footsteps upstairs when the power went out, otherwise this elimination method would really not be so easy to do.

——The burn on Hikaru Yasumoto's arm was caused by steaming the freshly boiled tea bowl.

The clumsy helper dropped a bowl during a power outage. Afraid of being discovered, she took advantage of the power outage and secretly held the broken bowl under her arm. Before turning the switch, she rushed into her room and hid the tea bowl.

On the way, the broken corner of the teacup fell due to the bumps, and just happened to be stepped on by the new grandmother who walked out from the second floor, scratching her foot.

A teacup became an ironclad proof that the two people were not present.

As for the new Zhiming, who has been hugged by Xiaolan, there is nothing to doubt.
