Miss Moriarty wants to save Mihua Town today too

"Aunt Mi..."

"She sacrificed her own life to save the young lady's, and I think that's her wish," she said. "Come on, the coffee is ready."

Witnessing the loss of Aunt Mi, Mori Kogoro no longer continued this topic. He picked up the coffee cup and said, "In short, we have to find Miss Lihua first. Let's first divide into two groups and divide each Every room has been inspected... However, the murderer is likely to be among us, everyone should pay attention, absolutely not alone."

"It's true, as long as we monitor each other, it won't be so dangerous."

Ichigo Takashi affirmed.

"Okay, drink your coffee and go find it."

Not long after drinking the coffee, Xiaolan yawned and rubbed her eyelids with her hands.

"Why did you suddenly yawn?"

Kogoro asked.

"Sorry, I suddenly feel sleepy."

Aunt Mi was concerned about Xiaolan and said, "You must be tired after so many things have happened, so just lie on the sofa and sleep for a while, come on!"

Seeing this, Winnet took the initiative to come to Aunt Mi's side. "In this case, I'll stay and take care of Xiaolan." She said.After all, she who is "difficult to see" will not be able to help if she follows her search. According to Xiao Ai, it is better for her to stay here.Mori Kogoro said yes, and immediately took Conan into action.They divided the villa into two halves based on the floor, and began to explore the interior separately.

About half an hour later, Mori Kogoro had almost searched the room on his side, but he didn't find any clues about Miss Lihua.

This made him a little impatient, and he even opened the microwave oven and yelled into it.

Conan looked at his actions and thought to himself that he is really an unreliable adult.

"It seems that there are no here..."

Mori Kogoro walked out of the room while muttering, followed by Conan.

Xiao Ai also acted together with Conan.

As soon as she left the room, she reminded Conan, "Don't you think that your girlfriend's sleepiness is abnormal?"

After Xiao Ai said this, Conan really felt it. Not long ago, Xiaolan was very energetic to make coffee with Aunt Mi, but after drinking the coffee, she became more sleepy.

"You mean..."

"Yes, I think it's quite possible...someone put sleeping pills in their coffee."

Xiao Ai analyzed that this is the main reason why she acquiesced to Winnet's stay.With Winnett around, Mao Lilan would at least not be harmed by the murderer.

"But Xiaolan should have nothing to do with this matter."

"I can't figure this out either." Xiao Ai said, "Besides, I don't know exactly how the murderer asked her to drink it, or in other words, the murderer actually wanted someone else to drink it, and your girlfriend happened to drink it. Drugged coffee."

Hearing what Haibara Ai said, Conan suddenly became a little worried.However, what she was worried about was not that the murderer would attack Xiaolan, but that Winnet and Xiaolan were alone in the room at this moment.With Huiyuan's previous reminder, he felt that it would be better to minimize Xiaolan's meeting with that pastor as much as possible.

"Probably not, the murderer has no reason to attack Xiaolan."

As far as the current situation is concerned, he always believes that this incident is related to the incident two years ago. The victim Nikaido and the missing Yoshii Reika are important persons involved in that incident.

In other words, the murderer's motive is likely to be that.

"However, it doesn't matter even if it is. In a room with light, she can see something vaguely... According to her skills, it shouldn't be difficult to protect your girlfriend."

Conan also thought of the calluses on Winnet's hands, and what she explained about "practicing martial arts".

At this time, Takashi Ichiji, who was lagging behind, also followed up.He and Huiyuan were not talking, and followed Kogoro to continue the search. After careful inspection, he still did not find Lihua Sii.

"We've searched all over the first floor."

"So she is still in the forest."

As soon as Takashi Ichiji finished speaking, the lights in the corridor dimmed immediately, and he was a little flustered.

"The power went out... Could it be that something happened upstairs?"

Kogoro Mori asked him, "Where is the main power switch?"

"Just across from the kitchen."

After getting the answer, they immediately ran.Due to the darkness of the corridor, Conan could hardly see clearly, and after a while, he bumped into something.At this time, the power of the villa was restored again, and the faint lights were turned on again. Only then did Conan realize that the people waiting in front of the switch were a group of people searching on the second floor.

"It seems that they went downstairs to find here immediately."

Xiao Ai judged, because the stairs are not far away.

"Who, who turned off the light?"

Mifune asked Kogoro and his party directly, because they were responsible for the search on the first floor.

Ichitaka replied: "There should be no one, we just looked for it."

"It's the murderer!" Xiao Goro said suddenly, his expression was very confident, "Because we are going to search this villa carefully now, the murderer felt that there was no way out, so he wanted to take this opportunity to escape."

"In other words, isn't the murderer someone from the villa?"

Sophia stepped forward and asked.

"Very likely!"

Kogoro Mori stretched out his hand and pointed his thumb at the window on the right.The recognizable sound in the darkness just now was the sound made when the window next to it was smashed.

"This window was broken by him."

"Damn it, let's see where you flee!"

As soon as Mifune learned that the murderer escaped from the window, he was impatient and chased him out.

Ichigo followed closely behind.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri hurriedly said to the people around him: "Go and stop the two of them!" After that, he also chased them out.Xiao Ai, Sophia, Aunt Mi and Jiuye Masumi remained.

Xiao Ai, who was wary of Jiuye Macheng, said, "Let's follow."

Based on her understanding of Sophia, as long as she is not attacked by surprise, she should not be subdued by Kuye Masumi.In Xiao Ai's view, Jiuye is a gentle lady with a traditional personality, and there is no trace of exercise on the outside. Although she may be the same type as Winnett, judging from the other's walking posture, this The odds are low.

Keeping Jiuye from returning to the villa is also a way to prevent her from committing any crimes.

Aunt Mi also anxiously explained to them: "It's very easy to get lost in this forest, you have to stop them quickly."

She said wow and chased after her. The three of Xiao Ai nodded and moved forward together.

At the same time, Winnet, who was staying in the banquet hall, had already noticed something was wrong—Maolilan's sleep was too deep.In the situation where the murder case just happened, drowsiness is unusual, let alone deep sleep.Did someone put drugs in their coffee?But why Xiaolan?She thought to herself, whether it was related to the incident two years ago or Jiuye Masumi, Xiaolan had nothing to do with these things.

"Did you drink it wrong?"

"So, who was that cup of coffee originally for?"

"Or, it doesn't matter who drinks it at all?"

Just when she was wondering, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

"Is the target really Xiaolan?"

However, the murderer didn't take her seriously.Maybe it was because she thought she was just a woman who couldn't see, so there was nothing worth guarding against, so she lowered her guard.Winnet walked to the window and saw that the lights downstairs had not been disconnected, which meant that the murderer had selectively turned off the power to the lights in the banquet hall.

He knows the structure of the villa extremely well.

It couldn't have been done by Kuye Masumi.

footsteps...

That being the case, the murderer couldn't possibly give her a chance to call for help, and she should be the first to be attacked... However, she didn't need to call for help either.

……

257 Reika Yotsui Discovered

Winnet stood by Mao Lilan's side, on a wooden bench about half a meter away from the sofa.

The sound made by the friction of the floor tiles in the villa is not obvious. Under the influence of the raindrops outside, it is difficult to judge the distance.The light suddenly turned off, Winnet reacted as usual, walked to the vicinity of the light switch to check, closed and restarted the switch, at this moment, a palm hidden in the darkness approached from behind, towards her cheek.

After reacting, Winnet approached the assassin in the opposite direction, pressed her back against his lower arms, exerted force with her elbows, and went straight to the opponent's neck.

At the moment of her counterattack, the opponent quickly made a correct judgment, retreated back, and rushed out without looking back.

"Are you determined to give up..."

Winnet murmured, but did not catch up.

Although it is very simple to capture this prisoner, it will be very troublesome to explain, especially the point of "being attacked in the dark and can be killed back".In terms of her superficial identity, she still had to hide her clumsiness.

Knowing some self-defense skills, but not a particularly good priest, this is the result she wants.

Moreover, she cannot currently rule out the possibility that the other party has an accomplice.

If at this time, someone treats Xiaolan badly, it will also make her lose credit.

Since the famous detective Mori Kogoro and the shrunken famous detective Kudo Shinichi are there, it shouldn't be necessary for her to make a special appearance to arrest the criminal.Winnet stood guard at the door of the banquet hall, pretending to be trembling.

At this moment, Conan, who chased after a certain distance, also realized that something was wrong.

"uncle."

"what happened?"

"It was dark in the hallway, so maybe the person who broke the window was among us."

"You mean..."

"Now only Miss Winnet and Xiaolan are in the villa."

As soon as Conan finished speaking, he immediately ran away and turned back to the direction of the villa.

Mori Kogoro understood what he meant and followed suit.

Conan quickly crossed the corridor, and saw that the kitchen lights were supposed to be turned off, but they were on. He rushed in and saw Kuye Masumi lying directly under the sink, looking fainted.

Reminiscent of the drowned Nikaido, Conan quickly thought of the same development - the murderer pressed Kuye Masumi into the sink in an attempt to drown her.

hateful!

He still has to confirm Xiaolan's safety.

"Miss Jiuye! Miss Jiuye, cheer up!"

Conan shook Kuye Masumi's shoulder.

Jiuye, who was wet above his shoulders, coughed twice, spit out some water stains from his mouth, and opened his eyes weakly.

"Miss Jiuye, what's going on?"

"Someone knocked me out from behind...then forced me into the pool."

Seeing Kuye Masumi faint again, Conan checked and found that she was just asleep. He probably inhaled a lot of ether. He propped the back of her head to keep her breathing normally.

As he was about to run out of the room, he felt a puff of heat.

The source was a microwave clipped to the cabinet.

Was it still in use not long ago?

He reached out and touched it, making such a judgment.

Before he could leave the room, Kogoro Mori also arrived.

"Uncle, please take care of Miss Jiuye."

After Conan finished speaking, he rushed out again. When he came to the banquet hall, he found that the door was closed, and his heart tightened immediately.

When he was still outside, he confirmed that the lights in the banquet hall were off. A bad feeling was brewing in his heart. He knocked on the door, but it was different from what he expected. After two or three seconds, the door was opened, and through the corridor With the dim light, he could clearly see Winnet's cheek.

"Is it Conan?"

Conan breathed a sigh of relief when he found Winnet there.

"Where is Xiaolan...I mean, sister Xiaolan, is she alright?"

"She's fine, she's lying on the sofa, sleeping soundly."

Winnet turned to the direction of the sofa, and Conan also looked over to confirm that Xiaolan was safe and sound, and then turned back to the first floor. As he expected, the circuit at the main switch was selectively cut off.

This once again confirmed his guess that the murderer was someone who was very familiar with the villa.

After the power was restored, Conan returned to the banquet hall again. At this time, Mori Kogoro had brought the unconscious Jiuye Masumi over and asked her to sit on the stool.

"Miss Winnet, what happened when we left?"

Mori Kogoro asked solemnly.
