Iljitaka looked anxiously out of the window and secretly guided: "He didn't run out, right? It's very dangerous in the mountains at night... Let's go look for him nearby separately."
Jiang Xia took one look at the murderous aura on his body, stood up, and planned to follow the call and go out for a spin.
Others had no objection - running into the mountains alone at night was unthinkable for others, but for Reika Yotsui...
She could really do something like this out of anger.
A group of people quickly ran out the door.
Jiang Xia looked around and walked in a random direction. Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and Conan were also with him.
The four people followed it for nearly 100 meters, calling Reika Yotsui's name along the way, but no one responded.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the gloomy trees around her, frowned, and reasoned: "She shouldn't be in this direction."
——Because if you put yourself in her shoes, if it were her, she would have been unable to help running out when Jiang Xia called her name for the first time... And someone as flamboyant as Yotsui Reika would only be better than She couldn't keep calm!
But now, Jiang Xia came all the way but didn't see Reika Yotsui. It can be seen that if Reika Yotsui really left the villa, then she must have gone in another direction - this is Suzuki Sonoko's mental journey.
Although the other three people failed to understand Suzuki Sonoko's reasoning, they agreed with her conclusion.
The sound of rain hitting the leaves gradually filled my ears.
Jiang Xia raised her hand to catch the raindrops that were getting heavier, feeling that it was almost time: "Even if Miss Sijing has a special personality, she is still an adult with a normal mind. If it is for revenge, she will at most test outside the woods, no It will go so deep. And if someone is kidnapped, the kidnappers will not drive into the woods full of obstacles... Anyway, let's go back and take a look, maybe others have found the person."
The four of them spent some time walking through the woods and returning to the villa with a flashlight that was not very bright.
Sure enough, everyone else came back. But Reika Yosui was not among the crowd.
What's strange is that none of the people who came back went into the house. Instead, they gathered around the fountain in the yard and looked at something in the middle.
Jiang Xia approached with several people.
When he was approaching the place, he looked through the gap in the crowd and saw a soaked person lying on the edge of the fountain - it was Nikaido who had secretly made an engagement with Yotsui Reika.
Nikaido is dead.
There are various indications that he was pushed into the fountain and drowned.
Conan realized that this was murder, his expression suddenly changed, and he put on his earmuffs with a snap.
Then my ears were covered with rainwater - it was raining so hard that my earmuffs had already been soaked.
Conan was so cold that he could only take off his earmuffs and cover them with his hands. Then he skillfully lowered his gaze and observed Nikaido's death scene.
There wasn't much useful information around - the villa's yard wasn't mud and there were no footprints left. When Nikaido was struggling, the murderer might have been stained with water from the fountain. But it happened that there had been a sudden heavy rain and everyone was soaked. There was no way to identify the murderer by who was stained with water, unless he called the police immediately. Come here to test the water quality on your body... But it's too far from the police station, and all the phones are disconnected, so there's no way to call the police.
We can only check who was acting with Nikaidou just now.
But Conan remembered that this group of young talents rushed very fast to win Reika Yotsui's heart, and they were not willing to be with others. In the end, I am afraid they would all be separated.
Conan simply came to some conclusions, then put down his hands, intending to listen to the standard answers from Jiang Xia to see where his reasoning was lacking.
But then he discovered that Jiang Xia did not identify the murderer, but looked at the body quietly without saying a word, as if he was deep in thought or distracted.
Conan looked at Jiang Xia doubtfully, and then at the pool of floating water in the fountain pool. A thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that Jiang Xia was lying on the edge of the tank because of "a tank of water" + " "Corpse", I think it reminds me of something bad...
But the last time, during the fake wrist-cutting scene in the bathroom of the sister's house in Qingdao, Jiang Xia's reasoning ability was not affected at all. To be honest, that "wrist-cutting" scene was far closer to Jiang Xia's psychology than the current murder scene. shadow.
However, Conan reasoned for a moment and realized that there were actually some differences between the two situations.
Last time, Qingdao Quandai's headband was covered in blood, the blood stains next to the cat's eye, the cardboard box and the tape... These were all collected and processed by Jiang Xia before entering the bathroom and seeing the scene of cutting his wrists. Clues for preliminary analysis.
But this time, Jiang Xia first saw the body lying by the pool, and then began to observe.
In the two incidents, the order of "being shocked" and "expanding observation + reasoning" was different. It's no wonder Jiangxia was disturbed this time. Fortunately, from the way Jiang Xia's eyes moved from time to time, things like "the corpse by the pool" did not have as big an impact on him as a car accident...
…
Not long after Nikaido died, when Jiang Xia arrived here, his attention quickly moved to the back of the corpse. There are signs of souls emerging there.
But soon, Jiang Xia discovered with slight disappointment that this was just an ordinary shikigami.
He looked away indifferently, and suddenly found that next to him, Conan was lost in thought again. The child's expression was unpredictable, his eyes suddenly understood, and sometimes he was very sad...
Jiang Xia: "?" Although I don't know what happened, Conan seems to be patching it on his own again.
...There is no need to say anything at this time, just let the brain supplement machine work on its own.
…
Suddenly there was a dead person in the villa, and before that, another person had disappeared. When two people got into trouble, the already dull atmosphere suddenly became even more depressing.
In order not to damage the scene, several people did not move the body away, but found a tarp to cover Nikaido's body.
Afterwards they returned to the villa.
A common suburban villa, a common isolation situation - no mobile phone signal, all phone lines are disconnected, all transportation vehicles are deflated, and all we can do is wait for Chairman Shijing to send someone over the next morning.
In addition, the missing Reika Yotsui is also of concern, and some people have suggested that she may be the murderer of Nikaido.
The situation was in chaos. The eldest General Rokuta stood up and comforted the others: "It's useless to be anxious now. Let's sit down and figure out the situation together."
Speaking of this, he remembered that it was already very late, and looked at the helper Granny Mi: "Make us some coffee. The person who killed Nikaido may be hiding among us. Now is not a good time to sleep."
