Miss Moriarty wants to save Mihua Town today too

"I was sitting next to Xiaolan when the light was cut off suddenly. I went to the entrance to check the switch, and suddenly someone came out from behind me. Because I practiced martial arts, he didn't succeed, but because it was completely dark, I It’s also impossible to identify who the other party is.”

Winnet explained with a look of lingering fear.

"You are not hurt?"

Mori Kogoro looked grateful.

He knew in his heart that the murderer was probably after Xiaolan.

"No." Winnet said with a smile, "If the murderer hadn't escaped, I think I've caught him by now. But I was afraid that something would happen to Xiaolan, so I didn't chase after him."

"However, even Ms. Jiuye Masumi was attacked. It seems that the murderer is really a murderer who doesn't know who he is!"

Kogoro said nervously.

"I think sister Xiaolan may have been given sleeping pills."

Conan told the two that at this time the rest of the people also returned to the villa and learned that Jiuye Masumi and Winnett were attacked.

"You mean sleeping pills?"

"That's right, didn't we drink coffee just now? Maybe there is medicine in it."

Seeing that Kogoro still didn't believe it, Conan continued to add.

"Even when Miss Winnet was attacked, and when we are gathering now, Sister Xiaolan was still asleep. This is too abnormal."

"I remember Xiaolan and Aunt Mi making coffee."

Mori Kogoro looked at Aunt Mi.

"I, how could I do that kind of thing?"

Aunt Mi was a little nervous.

"Aunt Mi was with us just now."

Xiao Ai added.

"In this case, it is absolutely impossible for you to attack Miss Winnett and Miss Kuye Masumi. However, the murderer should have no reason to attack Miss Jiuye Masumi, Miss Winnett and Xiaolan, so , this murderer may have no reason at all..."

Kogoro's deduction shocked everyone.

It would be even more dangerous if the murderer was an indiscriminate killer who would kill anyone he saw.

But Conan doesn't think so.

"Miss Winnet, when the power went out, you should have stayed in this room with Xiaolan, right? Did anything strange happen at that time?"

"Speaking of which, I seemed to hear the sound of the air conditioner starting."

air conditioner! ?

Conan immediately ran to the drawer of the low cabinet, rummaged through it, and then found the remote control of the air conditioner with the time set at 12:30 at night.

It turned out to be the case.

Seeing the time when Conan rushed out of the house, Winnet also understood.During the first power outage, the murderer did not do anything to the power supply, but used the voltage to create a situation where all high-power electrical appliances started at the same time, causing an overload power outage.

"It seems that he found another clue."

While everyone was discussing what to do next, Xiao Ai ran behind Winnet and spoke out.

"Well, I think the murderer is among us, so it's better to stay with me."

Winnet whispers to Xiao Ai.

"Is that so?"

"Well, when the power went out for the first time, the murderer overloaded the circuit. There was no need to personally control the main switch in order to create the impression that someone moved the switch, making everyone think that the murderer came from outside."

"Well, anyway, there are only a few hours left before dawn."

"Would you like to sleep in my arms for a while?"

"No, I'm a 'nocturnal animal'."

While they were talking in low voices, the men in the discussion broke out again, because Mifune wanted to go back to the room alone to rest.

"It's too dangerous, how can you stay in the room alone?"

Kogoro exhorted.

Takashi Ichiji, who has a smooth personality, also smoothed things over.

"That's right, Sanfuan. It's past four o'clock now, just wait another three hours, and the car will arrive."

"It's up to you! That murderer may be among us, how can I be with him?"

Mifune roared excitedly, then opened the door and left without looking back.

"Then I'll go to my room and rest."

Masahiro Muta chose the same method.

Aunt Mi looked worried.

"Isn't it safer for us all to stay together?"

The two were stubborn, and the rest had no intention of persuading them.

When the murder happened, everyone didn't have any intention of chatting. They just sat quietly in their seats and waited for the arrival of the next morning.

After another two hours, Xiao Ai finally yawned.

"I said that children need sleep very much. Sure enough, it is too reluctant?"

Seeing this, Winnet said that she patted Xiao Ai on the shoulder lightly, and the latter looked back at her with dead fish eyes.

"You don't want to talk about developmental problems, do you? If you really like children so much, you can adopt one yourself. I don't care."

"Where is it..."

Winnet smiled awkwardly, and she glanced back at the wall clock. It was already seven o'clock in the morning.

Kogoro, who stayed up all night, yawned, wept, and muttered about the time.

Takashi Ichiji and Xiu Gojo, who were staying in the banquet hall, said they were going to the bathroom, Sophia also said that she was going to wash her face, and Aunt Mi followed.

Winnet turned on the TV, which was showing the weather forecast.

She asked Xiao Ai: "Aren't you going to wash your face?"

"Because children are a group that has nothing to do with beauty and ugliness."

When Conan changed seats, he happened to hear Xiao Ai's voice, and his sleepiness subsided slightly.

"They are so slow."

The time in the upper right corner of the TV indicated that more than ten minutes had passed.

"No way, all of them have to go to the toilet."

Mori Kogoro lit a cigarette to refresh himself.

A few minutes after he finished speaking, several people came back, and Aunt Mi was holding a coffee tray in her hand.

"Why do you have coffee again?"

Kogoro, smoking a cigarette, turned his head to ask.

"I asked Aunt Mi to make it for me when I was going to the bathroom."

"It'll help ward off drowsiness."

Ichiji Takashi and Gojo Osamu explained.

Kogoro still has some psychological resistance to coffee because of Xiaolan's drinking of sleeping pills, but he still picks up the cup.

"Don't worry, you won't have sleeping pills."

Seeing the hesitation of the two, Takashi Ichie said with a smile, and patted Kogoro and Conan on the back by the way, but the coffee splashed on the faces and hair of the two because of the shaking of their hands.

Kogoro and Conan were immediately woken up by the heat, and then rushed out of the room to find the bathroom.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ai smiled slightly.

"Schadenfreude."

"But isn't that what you like about me?"

Winnet was once again defeated by her mouth, and slowly stood up, moving her body a little.

"The two of them slept soundly..."

Kuye Masumi and Mao Lilan haven't woken up yet.

At this moment, everyone in the room heard the shouts of Mori Kogoro and Conan.A sobering agent that was far more effective than coffee hit everyone's hearts, and they all ran towards the bathroom where the two of them were.

Because the light bulbs in the nearby corridor were broken, they took the candlesticks that were left on the corridor.

As a result, they saw the body of Yoshii Reika in the bathroom.

"Don't come in yet!"

When Kogoro Moori saw the crowd coming, he exhorted.

He walked up to Lihua Sijing alone, picked her up by the waist, and laid her flat on the ground.

"Miss...how could this be..."

Aunt Mi's voice trembled.

The situation at the scene was that Lihua Yotsui's head was submerged in the bathtub filled with water, while her body was outside. According to the situation at the scene, it is easy to judge that this is the same as the previous two incidents.

"She was also drowned. It can't be determined until the forensic doctor identifies the water she drank, but I speculate that she must have drowned to death when her head was pressed hard in the bathtub."

Kogoro said while recalling the process of sorting out the case.

"In other words, Nikaido was drowned to death in the fountain, and Masumi Jiuye was forced to drown her head at the kitchen sink. These two incidents and this one were all based on the same method. .”

Hearing Kogoro's deduction, several people panicked.

"So, the murderer has no reason to kill at all..."

"It should be like this, and this murderer is a very cruel person." Maori continued, "Look, the deceased is completely soaked from the skirt to the socks. This is what she strongly resisted when she was killed." The evidence is really pitiful... Not only that, but there are traces of being bound on his hands and feet, and there are traces of tape on his mouth, which shows that the deceased must have been imprisoned by the murderer before he was killed."

"Who is it? Who would do such an outrageous thing?"

Gojo Xiu murmured.

Conan on the side asked a question.

"The people who went to the toilet just now are Uncle Yizhi, Uncle Wutiao and Aunt Mi, right?"

"correct."

The three answered at the same time.

"At that time, did you find any suspicious characters or voices?"

"No."

Aunt Mi shook her head.

"When I was going to the toilet, Aunt Mi and Yizhi were waiting for me outside the door, and then Aunt Mi came in. Afterwards, Yizhi asked Aunt Mi and me to go to the kitchen to make coffee. He went to the toilet at the end. After that, I I don't know."

Gojo Osamu said to Conan.

Hearing Gojo Osamu's words, Mifune showed a "I see" smile.

"So you used this method to kill Miss Lihua."

He looked at Takashi Ichiji.

"No... I didn't kill anyone."

"It takes at least five to six minutes to make coffee from the kitchen, as long as you imprison Miss Lihua in the bathroom in advance, and take advantage of this opportunity to go to the toilet, you can sneak into the bathroom and kill her, and come back as if nothing happened. Is that right, detective?"

258 Sleeping Kogoro

Kogoro raised his eyes to look at Mifune, and then turned his eyes back to Sii Lihua's body.
