Chapter 34 Guess I Know

As soon as she entered, Xiaolan was amazed by the easel beside the bed. She ran over a few steps and exclaimed, "Wow, there are so many works."

"Be careful before you enter the door! There may be a murderer hiding inside!" Mouri Kogoro was very vigilant, and he still remembered that he came to search for Xiao Wu.

Maybe it's because of the boldness of Yigao, Xiaolan didn't take this warning to heart, she reached out to look at Xiaowu's painting.

Conan watched beside her, and his eyebrows frowned as he watched.

There is a thick stack of works on the easel, each page is Xia Jiang.

After thinking for a while, Conan suddenly saw a pencil at the bottom of the easel and a small piece of bread stained with gray.

……bread? !

"...Why is this placed on the easel?" Conan pinched it in a daze.

"Bread has a strong adsorption effect. Sometimes it can be used as an eraser, and sometimes it can be used to paint shadows."

Conan suddenly realized that as this important link was buckled, the clues in his mind began to connect together. The corners of Conan's mouth slightly curled up, showing a confident smile, "So it's like..."

Halfway through the conversation, Conan suddenly realized that it was Shiroki who answered the question, and the other party was still staring at him.

Recalling the devil's questioning not long ago, Conan immediately suppressed his expression and smiled innocently, "So that's the case, hahaha, it's amazing, bread can still be used like this!"

Xiaolan liked this set very much, smiled and patted his head.

Conan was in a better mood, thinking that the murderer... must be that person!

……

Apart from paintings and some art supplies, there is nothing else in Ichiro Somoto's room.

But in the eyes of those with a heart, these objects are already unusual enough.

——Conan was very interested in the piece of bread that was regarded as rubber, and Shiroki's eyes stopped for a moment on a pack of fluorescent powder that had been opened.

If I remember correctly, Ichiro Somoto "accidentally" bumped into him when he came out of the restaurant.

Thinking about what he did in the original book... This is really an easy murderer to guess.

Although Baishu took pictures of the second crime scene, it was only the last insurance: unless Ichiro Somoto pleaded not guilty because he had no evidence, Baishu didn't plan to send it to the police.

——Different from the last time Negishi Masaki was killed at home, this time, there were only a few people on board, and after a little exclusion, it is possible to find the person who sent the photo.

At that time, I have to explain why he didn't have time to save people when he was free to take pictures, how he took such clear photos, and whether the photos in the last case were related to him... It would be troublesome to think about it.

...Or should I tear up those photos and throw them into the sea now?
Forget it, I still have to take into account the emotions of the two covetous souls next to him - now that the two souls have fought each other, they are a little calmed down, and when he catches the murderer, he can go on the road with peace of mind.

While Bai Shu was thinking about the details of the plan, several people arrived at the room of Qiu Jiang and Long Nan's couple.

Baishu was the last door to enter.

While others were searching the back room, he opened the closet next to him, glanced inside, and saw Xiao Wu with a terrified expression inside.

Sure enough, hiding here.

With a click, Bai Shu closed the door with his usual expression, turned around and leaned against the cabinet door.

Conan was attracted by Shirasu's movements, he frowned and thought for a second, then ran over and tugged at Shirasu's clothes.

When Bai Shu bent down following his strength, he heard Conan asking him in a low voice, "Brother Zhishu, Xiaowu is inside, right?"

Although the interrogative sentences were used, Conan felt that this speculation was inseparable.

Although Bai Shu was lazy, before he could lean against the door frame or the wall at most, so he wouldn't hinder other people's search, but now he blocked the closet abnormally... There must be something wrong inside!

Sure enough, his train of thought was the same as his own, and he already had a rough guess about the murderer.

Under Conan's eager eyes, Bai Shu laughed twice, "Guess."

"...I was guessing just now, so, did I guess right?"

"Did you guess that you guessed right?"

"...", Conan tried his best to suppress the throbbing veins on his forehead, he couldn't sell this cuteness anymore.

He clenched his small fists before resisting the urge to open the cabinet door to take a look, because the butler had already noticed the movements of the two of them.And before using reasoning to find out the murderer, Xiao Wu was inconvenient to expose.

After turning his head to meet the butler's gaze, Conan thought for a while, gave up Shirasu, ran to the butler, and asked him in a low voice, "By the way, Grandpa, does Master Ichiro like Miss Xia Jiang?"

"?!", the butler never expected that this gossip could be found out, and his beard turned up in shock, "You, how do you know!"

After saying this, as if realizing what he had exposed, he suddenly covered his mouth again.

Conan secretly smiled, it really is.

……

After searching for this room, there are still a few vacant rooms, just in case, Mori Kogoro decided to look for it too.

Bai Shu didn't go with him, he ran to the power room with the excuse of going to the toilet, and went straight to the switch.

Sure enough, the electric switch has already been moved - it has been connected with strings, heavy objects, candles and other objects to make a simple timing device.

A thin wire is tied in the middle of the candle, and when the candle burns and becomes shorter, the flame burns and the wire is cut, the electric switch is pulled down, and the whole ship will stop lighting.

The murderer really couldn't sit still.

Bai Shu didn't touch the device, but searched around, and successfully found what he was looking for - an emergency power supply for lighting.

After playing with these things so that they would start up automatically within ten seconds after the power failure, Bai Shu went back to his room, found a thick book and stuffed it into his bosom, put on his coat to cover it up, Then slipped back into the search team.

Mori Kogoro was so full of Xiaowu at this time that he didn't notice Shiroki's abnormality at all, but Conan keenly noticed something was wrong.

He subconsciously wanted to ask, but...even if he asked, this person would never tell him, at most he continued to smile and let him "guess".

Conan's forehead twitched twice as he imagined Shiraki's expression that he didn't want to be beaten, heh, this disgusting secretism.

……

After searching the last room, there was still no result, so Mori Kogoro could only bring a few people back to the restaurant with his head downcast.

The eyes of the people sitting in the restaurant lit up, and they immediately turned their heads, "Hey, did you find Xiao Wu!"

Being stared at by several pairs of eyes, Mori Kogoro was almost sweating. He touched the back of his head with an awkward smile, "Uh, not yet, or wait..." and ask the police for help when the boat docks.

It's a pity that I couldn't finish this sentence.

In the middle of the conversation, Mori Kogoro suddenly felt a numbness in the back of his neck, his eyelids sank, he let out a strange groan, and sat down on the chair Conan dragged out.
