Chapter 17
After Aramu
Huihara Ai finished speaking, he once again handed over the choice to the children.
It just so happened that Dateru had already decided that he wanted to tell Edogawa Conan or a reliable adult about the conversation he had with the two people before the incident.
If Edogawa Conan is the protagonist of the world, then he is trustworthy.
Idarui didn't know if her decision was right, but she wanted to give it a try. It would be best if she could help.
"Can I be with Haibara-san? If you are going to find Edogawa-san, I also want to be with you." Daterui still changed the names of Haibara Ai and Edogawa Conan to ordinary names. As strange as classmates.
She was afraid that she had gone too far when calling people she had just met, and the other person did not agree that she could be close enough to call them nicknames, so Idarui subconsciously returned her sense of propriety to the beginning.
Of course, Haibara Ai noticed the strange thing in Idarui's words just now, but she did not expose the other party, and later agreed with Idarui's words.
Later, others joined in the search for Edogawa Conan, and this time Yoshida Ayumi walked side by side with Daterui.
She seemed to want to stir up a topic to make Liuyi relax, so Ayumi whispered, "Liuyi-chan, are you scared? Well... Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. You can call me Ayumi, everyone. They are all good people."
"Right, Haibara-san."
Although Ayumi also wants to get close to Haibara Ai, she still calls her "Haihara-san" to this day. However, she wanted to close the distance between them, and the arrival of new classmate Daterui was also an opportunity, so Yoshida Ayumi asked like this.
"Yeah."
Haiyuan Ai nodded without refuting. In fact, she had no objection to the title, as long as no one knew who she really was...
the nightmarish feeling, person and code name.
"Huh? Is it Mr. Yamauchi?"
After reaching the second floor, Idarui and others met Yuuki Yamauchi who was coming down from the third floor. That's why Idarui said something and stopped him.
Yamauchi Yuuki's face was still expressionless, as if he wanted to stay away from strangers.
After hearing Idarui's voice, he just nodded and prepared to go downstairs. Yamauchi Yuuki had something in his hand, but Idarui didn't see it clearly and left.
"What are you doing here?"
Edogawa Conan, who came out of the deceased Rei Tajima's house on the second floor, almost understood everything about the matter, but he still lacked some decisive evidence and some key points. .
When he saw everyone going up to the second floor and froze in place, Edogawa Conan was not surprised to have doubts.
"Conan, we just found something before we came up from the first floor, which may be useful for the case."
Yoshida Ayumi was the first to come to Edogawa Conan. After she finished speaking, Haibara Ai took the The items in his hand and the photos taken on his mobile phone were handed to Edogawa Conan's eyes.
I don't know what Edogawa Conan was thinking of. He had a flash of inspiration, as if all the doubts covered by the fog were figured out at this moment, so Edogawa Conan thanked several people for finding the clues.
He just needs to find that thing now.
"Um...Edogawa-san."
Just as they were about to return to the living room on the first floor to wait, Daterui stopped Edogawa Conan, who was about to go to the utility room on the first floor.
Edogawa Conan turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just saw the conversation between Kurokawa-san and Saotome-san in the kitchen. I don't know if this is right for you, Dr. Agasa, and Okiya Subaru." Is Sir's investigation helpful?" Daterui kept thinking in her mind, and finally she organized her thoughts and told Edogawa Conan about the conversation she saw.
Although Daterui didn't know if this was useful, Edogawa Conan still smiled at her and said: "Thanks, Ryui."
Daterui looked at Edogawa Conan's leaving figure and suddenly raised her eyebrows. He smiled.
It seemed like he was determined to win, and did Edogawa Conan-san just call her by her last name? Does that mean she helped?
Ida Liuyi lost consciousness for a few seconds, and then Haihara Ai patted her on the shoulder and prepared to let her go to the living room together.
After returning to the living room, everyone was already there. Even at the dinner table, everyone's expression was very solemn, almost as if they couldn't eat.
They were all still waiting at the dining table for the arrival of Edogawa Conan and Yamauchi Yuuki, and the whole atmosphere was eerily quiet.
At this time, Edogawa Conan and Yamauchi Yuki walked from the corridor on the first floor to the dining table in the living room.
Yamauchi Yuuki has placed all the prepared dishes on the table in front of everyone, just like the "last supper", which makes people feel chilling.
Because of the murder, no one took the initiative to eat the food on the table, and the sound of falling snow outside was making a "wuwu" sound.
Idarui felt that her whole body was suddenly cold, so she chose to wrap her coat tightly. Ayumi Yoshida, who was sitting next to her, suddenly held Idarui's right hand, and a warm feeling came to Shiyi. Only then did Darui feel that his hands were no longer so cold.
Edogawa Conan sat between Dr. Agasa and Mr. Subaru Okiya. He half-covered his mouth and whispered something to Mr. Subaru Okiya. The two seemed to have reached an agreement.
"Do we really have to wait until tomorrow to call the police? Thinking about having to stay with Tajima's body all night, I feel..."
Toda Eihei felt bad, and he tried to hand over the decision-making power. To the other people present, but when he looked at the people beside him and across from him, except for so-called outsiders like Idarui, no one answered his words, and no one responded directly to Toda Eihei's gaze.
"What do you mean by this...Am I the only one who feels guilty?"
He looked at everyone who didn't look like they wanted to talk to him, so he slammed the table and felt annoyed. Toda Eihei did regret for a moment. Tajima Rei's death brought to everyone the past deeds sweeping in like sea water.
Okiya Subaru on the side said, "Mr. Toda, please calm down."
"Yes, Mr. Toda, we can understand your mood." Dr. Agasa also waved his hands helplessly after seeing this situation. , he seemed to be persuading.
"..."
Toda Eihei was discouraged. He didn't know why things developed like this. Toda Eihei covered his head in the next second, feeling a little ridiculous.
Once upon a time, Hitomi Tenkaji, Ryōu Kurokawa, and Aiho Saotome had a very close friend, but for some reason, that girl passed away.
This matter is inextricably related to everyone present except Dr. Agasa and others, especially to Tajima Ling who died today.
After Tajima Rei's death, the remaining people quarreled with each other during the period, but Dr. Agasa and Okiya Subaru alone could not calm the anger of others.
And now the appearance of several people can be regarded as the kind of people who have seen the past. Then Daterui saw Edogawa Conan telling several people to get something and left. As the sky gradually darkened, Ah Dr. Li suddenly said that he wanted to solve all the mysteries of this case before the police arrived tomorrow morning.
It is also to restore the truth and find the murderer.
"Huh?" Toda Eihei thought it was ridiculous. He felt that Dr. Ari was not a detective, and a gray-haired old man did not understand their past. How could such an outsider know the truth and find out the murderer.
Then Toda Eihei said: "You are suspecting that one of us has done something to Tajima, right?"
The expression on Dr. Agasa's face seemed to be panic. He waved his hands and wanted to explain, but the words he spoke were inconsistent. His movements showed a completely different look.
Okiya Subaru stated the doubts straightforwardly. With the cooperation of the somewhat strange Dr. Agasa, the truth of the matter was revealed to Edogawa Conan through word-for-word exchanges. Placed in front of everyone.
"I think the reason why Ms. Saotome attacked Mr. Tajima was also because of your friend who passed away a few years ago." Okiya Subaru said.
Dr. Agasa then said: "According to what Liu Yi said, I think you thought that Liu Yi had listened to the entire conversation between you and Miss Kurokawa in the kitchen and your behavior of secretly disposing of the evidence, so you After that, you quietly hid behind the children, but you didn't take action. "
"Xiao Ai and Liu Yi have told me these things, and you were also planning to attack Mr. Toda, but why did you give up in the end. "
After Dr. Agasa finished speaking, Saotome Aiho struggled to retort at first, but after listening to their words and seeing the conclusive evidence, she lowered her head and said nothing more, as if she no longer resisted.
Saotome Aiho sneered a few times, her look confused Kurokawa Yoshiu and others. When Kurokawa Yoshiu and others questioned her one by one in confusion, Saotome Aiho looked like she thought they were all ridiculous. She finally revealed the motives and thoughts of everyone present.
"Yes... I did something unforgivable to Tajima. I also wanted to do something to Toda, but Yoshiyu, don't you also want to fight Tajima? You can't stand him. Everyone is disgusted with Tajima's behavior. "Dissatisfied, can you really forget about Ryoko?" Saotome Aiho stood up and questioned everyone present. Tenkadera Hitomi tried to calm down Saotome Aiho, but no matter how she tried to persuade her, she was stopped by Aiho and said she didn't know. It's time to say something.
"Hitomi, you are a good person."
Saotome Aiho will never forget what Tajima Rei and Toda Eihei did to Ryoko.
