Chapter 16
After seeing everyone's situation, Kurokage
Edogawa Conan asked everyone to stay in the living room for the time being.
As long as the murderer is not hidden in the secret that no one knows and there is someone unknown to Edogawa Conan and the others, then the murderer is still among those few people, and the only way now is to bring everyone together.
Then it is impossible for the murderer to choose to hurt someone again in full view of the public.
But this will also cause some inevitable problems, such as making it easier to start.
At this time, they didn't even have any useful clues, and the sudden murder made Yoshida Ayumi and others lose interest in continuing to play the game.
Then Edogawa Conan ran away to unknown places, while Subaru Okiya and Dr. Agasa acted as questions about what happened before and after Tajima Rei's body was discovered and what everyone was doing at that time.
Idarui sat next to Ayumi, looking directly at the few people with different expressions. Her expression was very serious, and she hoped that she could see something from it.
But Ryui didn't persist for long before she chose to give up. It seemed that she was temporarily unable to learn Edogawa Conan's powerful spirit and curious exploration spirit.
What's more, Conan's expression when he saw the real corpse was not as scary as when he first saw it. Compared with the conditions of Ayumi Yoshida and others, he didn't look like a child at all.
Shouldn't the task of finding the murderer be left to the adults...
Then Idarui looked at Ayumi Yoshida and Ai Haibara who were sitting on the left and right of her and asked. "Isn't Conan even scared?"
Yoshida Ayumi shook her head and explained to Daterui: "That's how Conan is. He is never afraid and likes to reason. Every time there is a case , Conan is always the one at the front."
"But just leave it to him. Dr. Ali is here. We just need to protect our own safety and don't mess around..."
"We can't fall behind. Conan is the one, let's go investigate for useful clues."
Before Haibara could finish his words, he heard Kojima Mota standing up and saying excitedly. Now he doesn't want to lose to Edogawa Conan who is currently investigating, nor does he want to sit back and help everyone.
"But it's not good if we do this. Conan-kun said that we should all stay in the living room. It will be safer this way. Besides, we are children. If we rush to investigate the clues, won't it cause chaos?" Ida Liu Yi didn't quite agree with Genta Kojima's words. She felt that doing so might make things more complicated.
Yoshida Ayumi felt that if she really wanted to investigate, it would affect the actions of others, so she did not agree with Kojima Genta's words. The same was true for Mitsuhiko, but he felt that if he said that he could help Dr. Agasa and others inquire The timeline is not impossible either.
Genta Kojima seemed a little dissatisfied with everyone's reaction.
As the more mature person among the group of people, Haiyuan Ai asked them to separate and politely ask if anyone there had forgotten any clues if they had nothing to do.
Even if you want to find clues, you can't mess up the items and so on.
"You must also remember not to mess around and bring danger to others and yourself, you know, especially you, Yuantai." Haiyuan Ai asked the children around him, especially Xiaodao, who was ready to make a move and was looking forward to it. Yuantai.
Moto Kojima was happy when he learned that he could go investigate. However, after he was named by Haibara Ai, Moto Kojima also scratched his head and agreed because he could search for clues that would be useful to him. Huihara Ai's words.
"What about you, Ida? Do you want to take a break first and be with Dr. A Li and that man, or do you want to take action with us?" Haibara Ai said with his hands behind his back. "It seems that Yoshida wants you to come with us, at least you won't be alone, but it seems that you will go to many places to look for clues. If you feel tired, it is best to stay here."
Haibara Ai's voice was only a few words It can only be heard between people. Her eyes kept wandering between the people sitting on the sofa being questioned by Dr. A Li.
Haibara Ai gave the choice to Daterui, and it was up to her to decide. However, Yoshida Ayumi had a look in her eyes that wanted Daterui to act together, so Haibara Ai added.
"I'll go with you."
Ida Liuyi got up from the sofa. After thinking about it, she still felt that it might be better to go with Haibara Ai and the others.
Liu Yi looked at Kurokawa Yoshi who was still crying but was answering Dr. Agasa's words tremblingly. She was lowering her head and recalling the previous scene and speaking intermittently. In the end, she just couldn't bear it anymore. Kurokawa Yoshiyu said lowly. I couldn't say anything anymore.
Before Kurokawa Yoshiyu covered his face and stopped talking completely, Idarui and the others could still hear each other's last words, "Please, don't ask. I don't know why he suddenly acted like this. I really I don’t know anything..."
As he and Haibara Ai and the others went to the corridor on the first floor from other places and prepared to go to the kitchen and nearby rooms, Idarui focused part of his attention on the barrage. superior.
She took a look, and those barrage didn't seem to notice what was happening on her side. It was like switching to the main battlefield from a comic storyboard scene that Idarui had seen. No one outside knew about the storyboard. What’s going on elsewhere below.
So Idarui was temporarily relieved, the murderer probably wouldn't attack again so soon.
In addition, Idarui didn't know when the perspective would turn to her side. Now she could only follow the classmates in front of her to look for useful clues. If she could help...
Idarui recalled Between the time I went to the bathroom and the time I met Edogawa Conan, I overheard the conversation between Kurokawa Yoshiu and Saotome Aiho who were chatting in the kitchen.
But your guess may not be completely correct.
So Idarui followed the group of people. She was still thinking about whether the conversation between the two in the kitchen had anything to do with this case.
Yoshida Ayumi and the others are still discussing where there will be clues and where Edogawa Conan will be investigating at this time and hope to be able to help.
Haibara Ai pays attention to Idarui, who is alone at the end. She is also afraid that something will go wrong if she doesn't pay attention, so Haibara Ai will pay special attention to the person at the end who is wandering in his thoughts and the person in the dark.
Just where a few people didn't pay attention, a black figure was hiding somewhere and quietly paying attention to the movements of several children. When Subaru Okiya returned to the living room from the villa, he saw that only Dr. Agasa was left. As well as Tenkaji Hitomi and Kurokawa Yoshiu, they asked casually when they were present.
"Doctor, where are the others?" Subaru Okiya looked at the surroundings, which were all quiet. Finally, when he looked around, his eyes rested on Dr. Agasa.
Dr. Agasa shook his head. He gave Hitomi Tenkaji the opportunity to comfort Kurokawa Ryōyu and Kurokawa Ryōyu enough time to calm down.
He answered after hearing Subaru Okiya's question: "Conan should be on the second floor. The other children seemed to be looking for clues together. As for Mr. Toda, he seemed to be uncomfortable, so he wanted to go back to the room to be alone. Wait, and Mr. Yamauchi said he was going to prepare desserts and dinner in advance. As for Ms. Saotome, I don’t know when she left.”
“Oh?” Subaru Okiya said with an unclear tone. He just said that. After returning from the outside, Okiya Subaru checked the surroundings and found no opportunity for others to enter the villa. There were even signs that outsiders had secretly entered the villa.
So it will only be the hands of those present.
[Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei is here again! ]
[Hiss, could it be that someone among the three people who left made a move? ]
[Not necessarily. Is there a possibility that Xiao Hei's scary scene is just a smoke bomb? This does not clear the suspicion of the two people still in the living room. 】
【Let me place a bet. Of the three people who left, one of them must die again and take action, and there is another unlucky guy. ]
[Fortunately, the detective team has Xiao Ai watching, hoping nothing will happen. ]
When Idarui and others arrived at the remaining rooms on the first floor, they had already finished exploring the kitchen. They did not meet the other three people who left the living room.
There was a back door to the villa, but the door was closed tightly and seemed to be locked. No matter how much Mota Kojima tried to twist the handle on the door, he could not open it.
"It's so strange." Genta Kojima turned it around several times without opening it. He didn't know the reason. He originally wanted to try another method, but was stopped by other people present.
Idarui shook his head and said: "No, Kojima-san, this will cause trouble to others and make it difficult to deal with. Moreover, this is other people's villa. If we damage other people's things, there is nothing we can do. "Recovered."
"That's it, Genta." Yoshida Ayumi said.
Kojima Genta scratched his head and said in confusion, "But that door lock looks broken, and it seems impossible that it can't be opened."
When several people were surrounding Kojima Genta, Haibara Ai stepped forward again. After looking at the things on the door, she finally decided to give it a try. There was only a "click" and the handle fell, but the door was still not clicked.
No matter what, the door moved slightly but showed no signs of being opened.
"Well...it seems that someone did it on purpose."
Everyone present was noticed by Haihara Ai's behavior and her words. Haihara Ai said to the remaining four people: "Edogawa is either on the second floor or not. Let's go look for him on the third floor or attic. Maybe the great detective already has clues and suspects."
After taking the photo with her mobile phone, Haihara Ai picked up the broken handle with a handkerchief and left. He said at the front of the group, "I remember there is a utility room on the first floor. If you want to check it out again, you can."
"Well... but my suggestion is to go to Edogawa or go back It would be safer to stay with Dr. A Li in the living room. Now the murderer is hiding and we are in the dark, and we may be in danger at any time. "
