"The murderer is indeed not Mr. Yizhi. At least one or two hours have passed since the incident happened. That is to say, the time of Miss Lihua's death should be between five and six o'clock in the morning, so Mr. Yizhi who went to the bathroom just now, It is impossible to take this opportunity to kill Miss Lihua."

"And it's impossible for Aunt Mi and Mr. Wujo to commit murder. They stayed with us in the living room from four o'clock to seven o'clock, so it's impossible."

"In this way, they have an alibi, and the scope of suspects can be narrowed down."

"That is, Mr. Mifune and Mr. Mukuta who were left alone in the room on the second floor at that time, the two of you are gone."

Kogoro stood up and stared at Mifune and Mukuta Shoji with sharp eyes.

Mifune was startled at first, and then pretending to be relaxed, he raised his thumb and pointed at Liutian next to him.

"That's too simple. The murderer is Liutian, because it can't be me."

"You're talking nonsense, I obviously saw it. At six o'clock in the morning, I heard movement in the corridor. I opened the door and saw that you were walking in the corridor, not knowing where you were going."

Masahiro Mutsuda responded unceremoniously.

"Is this true, Mifune?"

Takashi looked at him incredulously.

"Yeah, because I couldn't sleep, so I went to the bathroom on the second floor to wash my face."

Mifune did not deny leaving the room.

"Really, the bathroom on the second floor? It's right next to the stairs. That way, it will be more convenient for you to go to the first floor to kill Miss Lihua."

General Liu Tian continued to pursue.

"What did you say……"

Mifune panicked for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.

"No, what you said is not wrong. No one can prove my actions, but in the same way, you may also kill Miss Lihua! Because when I was alone in the room, I didn't see what you were doing inside. .”

"Anyway, the time of the murder was between five and six o'clock, so most likely, there are only the two of you."

"Please answer me a question, what were you doing in the room at that time?"

Mori Kogoro interrupted their argument, trying to find the flaws in their words by asking questions.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Morley."

Winnet stood up and said to Kogoro.

"what happened?"

From Winnett’s perspective, you can also observe the condition of Reika Yoshii’s body. The red skirt has completely fitted her body, as if she had fallen into the water. In addition, there are traces of adhesive tape on the body, which is reminiscent of The murderer not only tied up Lihua Sijing, but also fixed her in a certain place to a certain extent.

"Mr. Mori, you have said that the corpse has traces of being bound?"

"This is..."

"Perhaps, the murderer did not suffocate Miss Lihua by pressing her head in the pool as in the previous two incidents, but fixed Miss Lihua in the bathtub, and set a timed The program of killing."

Winnet passed Kogoro's side, and Conan, who was observing the corpse, came to the edge of the bath. She touched the edge of the bath with her fingers, and there were still water stains on it.

"So...it is indeed possible. We searched the entire villa but couldn't find Miss Lihua. If Miss Lihua has been fixed in this bath from the beginning..."

Mori Kogoro clearly remembered that the person in charge of checking the bathroom was him, Conan, and Ichitakashi.

"But, no. We looked for the bathroom at ten o'clock at night, and it was empty. There was nothing there."

Ichitaka interjected.

"Yes, I feel that something is very wrong. We searched every room just now, but we didn't see Miss Lihua. Could it be that the murderer hid her in the forest?"

"No, if it is outside the villa, there is a more suitable place - the trunk of the car, which was parked outside at that time, the carriage of you guys. And if you have time to move Miss Lihua out of the carriage , and there are only the two of you, Mifune and Mr. Mukuta. However, if the murderer uses the method of delaying the killing..."

Mori Kogoro also walked to the edge of the bathtub, and he turned on the faucet directly above the bathtub, but what sprayed out from inside was not a thick stream of water, but the shower sprinkler above.

"Using this shower head and fixing Miss Lihua in this bathtub, slowly fill up the entire bathtub, passing over Miss Lihua's mouth and nose—as Miss Winnet said, as long as you use this delay The means of killing anyone can commit the crime.”

"I think the murderer may have used the time when we were attracted by the broken window. He not only planned to attack Miss Jiuye Masumi, Miss Winnet and my daughter in the banquet hall, but also used this time to prevent the Ms. Yoshii Reika who was in the trunk of the car moved to this bathroom, and then set up this delay device. In this way, even if the murderer stays with us in the banquet hall, he can still kill Ms. Lihua."

"However, to complete these, the time is quite tight. Therefore, the two most suspected people are still you."

Mori Kogoro looked at Mifune and Liuda with burning eyes.

Conan, who was watching from the sidelines, thought that Uncle Kogoro had acted reasonably this time. However, even if it was as Wynette said, the whole case still lacked a key piece of evidence.

However, this delayed killing method alone is enough to make people think about many things.

If the murderer put Miss Lihua in the trunk of the car at the beginning, it would be like killing Nikaido and pressing Miss Lihua into the fountain in front of the villa, but he didn't do that, that is to say , he had to specifically let people discover Miss Lihua's reason at this time.As for the attack on Jiuye Masumi, Winnet and Xiaolan who had nothing to do with it, at first glance, it looked like an indiscriminate murderer's move, but in fact it was probably a kind of misleading thinking.

If the same method is used to kill two people in a row, the third time will be considered as a similar method.

However, the evidence...

Conan climbed up to the edge of the pool to see what else he could find, but the edge was full of water stains and was very slippery. He suddenly lost his balance and Kogoro grabbed the back of his neck before falling into the water.

"What the hell are you doing all of a sudden, getting yourself so wet?"

"what!"

Conan had an idea, and thought, Uncle NICE!

Just get wet!

Going around in circles, Kogoro didn't find out who the murderer was, he looked at everyone.

"I think so, everyone. Before the car comes to pick us up, let's wait in the living room. I'm also a little worried about Xiaolan who is there alone."

"It seems that just having your reminder is not enough."

Ai gently grabbed Winnet's waist from behind.

"However, I'm only suspicious, not sure of the murderer's true identity... In other words, there is no evidence. For detectives, this is the most important thing."

Winnett was not surprised by this result. Her reminder, on the contrary, expanded the scope of suspects.

Just when she was about to grab Xiao Ai's hand and leave——

"Wait a moment!"

Kogoro's deep voice came from behind.

"What's the matter?"

Mifune, who was regarded as the key suspect, looked at Kogoro impatiently.

"No, no, I didn't say anything..."

Kogoro shook his hands, trying to deny it.

But his actions quickly freeze and stop, and Conan uses the mode he has become more comfortable with recently-using a watch-shaped anesthesia gun to stab Kogoro's neck, and then using a voice-changing bow to imitate Kogoro's voice after falling asleep.

Kogoro, who was pierced by the anesthesia needle, stumbled back and sat on the edge of the bath.

This relatively unusual scene also attracted Winnett's attention. Although she often heard the legend of the sleeping famous detective Mori Kogoro, this was the first time she saw it with her own eyes.

The moment he fell, she clearly heard a slight sound like a launch, and the target of the launch was Kogoro Mori in front of him.

"It's actually like this..."

Winnet couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Surprised you? The big detective on the surface is actually a confused detective, and someone else is behind the operation. This feeling is very similar to the style of the organization, right?"

Xiao Ai, who crossed her arms, looked like she was watching the show, and was proud of Winnet's surprised look.

"It is Kudo Shinichi who can realize the dream of a detective without being discovered..."

"He seems to hope to use this method to participate in cases that may be related to the organization."

"However, this is a little too obvious. Doesn't anyone want to find out after seeing the great detective sleeping?"

"The 'rules' in Japan are like this, and...it's like an adult suddenly becoming a child, no one would think so easily."

"Well, but I still found it."

Winnie looked at Xiao Ai pointingly and smiled.

"loquacious."

Xiao Ai muttered.

"What the hell did you do, Mr. Morley?"

Like Mifune, Mukuta Shoji also expressed his slight dissatisfaction with Mori Kogoro.

"I already know who the murderer is."

Conan said firmly in Kogoro Mori's voice.

"what?"

"You knew already?"

"Who is the murderer?"

In the face of successive inquiries, Conan did not answer directly, but made a request.

"Now, can you gentlemen take off your coats? Just throw all your coats here, and the truth should come out."

"Are you finished yet!?"

Mifune once again showed impatience.

"Okay, let's do as he said. It would be nice if you could find out who the murderer is by taking off your clothes."

Kazue Takashi comforted Mifune, and took off his coat first.

His words seemed to convince everyone, and they cooperated with Kogoro to throw the jacket on the ground.

"Okay, then you have to read it quickly. Didn't you know it by looking at the coat?"

Sanfu asked.

After they took off their coats, Conan, who was hiding behind the curtain, glanced at their shirts out of the corner of his eye.

Mifune's neckline is water-stained, Gojo Shu is the wrist, and the last Ichie Takashi is the elbow.

Conan's glasses lenses start to reflect light.

"I was right, it really was you. What happened in the villa was caused by you..."

"Yes, first drowned Nikaido at the fountain, then poisoned Ran's coffee to attack Miss Jiuye, Miss Winnett and Ran, and then let Miss Lihua drown in this bathtub a few minutes ago , the real culprit is you, Mr. Takashi Ichieda!"

Everyone who heard the result of what Conan said looked at Takashi Ichieda unanimously.

"Yizhi, did you really do it?"

Mifune asked in shock.

"Don't be joking, okay, big detective... Do I look like a murderer?"

Ichiji Takashi still acted a little academically weak, he pointed to his face and asked back.

"Early in the first case, before Mr. Nikaido was killed, Miss Lihua's whereabouts were unknown. We went to the woods to find him. At that time, the people who were with Nikaido were Aunt Mi and Mr. Kazue. wrong?"

"Yes."

Aunt Mi replied.

"However, not long after you entered the forest, you started to disperse and look for people. I think at that time, Aunt Mi should run to remind others not to go deep into the forest, and Ichiji Takashi, after you left them, followed Nikaido's Later, take him to the fountain. I think you should have told him that you saw Miss Lihua in the fountain, so you attacked him from behind and drowned him after he got to the fountain.”

"That's just your imagination. The same thing may have been done by other people. At that time, the three of us were probably not the only ones who scattered to find people, right? And it's not strange to attack Nikaido and Ms. Lihua , but why did I attack Miss Jiuye, and Miss Moriarty and Xiao Lan, friends who have never met before? This is the first time I have met them today! Moreover, the murderer is trying to attack them, turning the lamp When it was turned off, I obviously stayed with you. At that time, how could I have the opportunity to turn off the light, according to what you said, it is possible that I have an accomplice, right? "

The nervous Ichitaka uttered a series of rebuttals.

"No, you don't have any accomplices. Because all the lights are automatically turned off, the method is very simple, because you have set all the air conditioners in the villa to start at the same time with the remote control, and then, you Also set the time you set on the microwave oven in the kitchen. When the time comes, the power load will be overloaded, so the main switch will be cut off at that time. The best evidence is the remote control. There is also time left for when all electrical appliances are out of operation."

"You may have heard a strange noise once when the power went out. Isn't that right, Conan?"

As soon as Kogoro's voice fell, Conan rushed out from behind the curtain.

"Well, I heard a ding, because the microwave oven here is a turntable timer, and it will continue to operate even if the store disappears, and when I touched the microwave later, I found that it was still hot, absolutely no mistake !"

After speaking, Conan hid his figure again.

Seeing his performance like a double reed, Winnet felt that he really had a talent for acting.If she hadn't known Conan's true identity early in the morning, she might have been fooled from the perspective of a passerby.

"No wonder that Mr. Kazue left the room so slowly at that time, it was to set up the microwave oven."

Xiao Ai's voice also attracted some attention.

"After you use this method to stop the villa's electricity, you break the window in the dark, making us think that the murderer has run out, let us chase outside. Then, you go to the banquet hall, trying to kill Xiaolan or It was Miss Winnet who took her to the kitchen and drowned. However, you did not expect that Miss Winnet had practiced martial arts, which frustrated your original plan. At this time, you left the villa and attacked Jiuye instead Miss, because women are easier targets. Then, you took Miss Jiuye to the kitchen, trying to drown her in the same way... I think you probably used ether or other drugs to weaken her resistance .”
