Granny Mi nodded and walked into the kitchen.
Others searched for clothes and towels to get rid of the cold rain.
Jiang Xia glanced at the kitchen door and was very concerned - in his impression, Yi Zhilong would tamper with the brewed coffee.
The key point of Ilji Takashi's killing method is to use a timed killing device to give himself an alibi.
——Just now when Reika Yosui went upstairs to change clothes, Ichige took advantage of his low sense of presence and slipped over to intercept Reika Yosui. After knocking the target unconscious, he used tape to secure Reika Yotsui in the bathtub.
After that, Iljitaka put the nozzle into the bathtub, turned down the water flow, and controlled the speed of discharging water. In this way, Reika Yotsui will be drowned by water that covers her mouth and nose at a specific time.
According to Ichijitaka's calculations, he happened to be with other people at the time of Yotsui Reika's death. After that, as long as he finds an opportunity to remove the dead Yotsui Reika from the bathtub, place it next to the bathtub, and pretend that she was drowned by someone holding her head down like Nikaidou, Ichijitaka will be able to have an alibi.
In this method, one thing is very important - you must use the inertia of other people's thinking to make them think that Reika Yotsui was drowned by being pressed on her head, that is, pretending that the murderer was next to Reika Yotsui when she died.
After thinking about it, Ichige felt that if there was only Nikaido as an example, his persuasiveness would be somewhat lacking.
So he decided to create another example - he planned to put medicine in the coffee, pour the medicine on a random person, and then press the unlucky person into the water and drown it once, so that other people could get " I was held on my head and drowned in the water." Such testimony.
Jiang Xia thought of Yizhi Takashi's trick and thought it wouldn't work.
Although if you want Iljitaka to carry out his plan with confidence and boldness, it is best not to stop him from lying about his testimony, but flooding is difficult to control.
Ichiji Takashi is not an experienced murderer. If he gets nervous and the drowned person is unlucky enough, that unlucky guy may even choke to death in a short time.
Jiang Xia counted: there were nine people present. Excluding Ichitaka, who knew which cup of coffee contained medicine and would definitely not be tricked, there were eight left.
Among these eight people, Jiang Xia and the others accounted for half, so the possibility of being randomly selected is not small...
Jiang Xia thought for a while and felt that flooding was so dangerous that he definitely couldn't let his precious murder attractors do it. Of course, neither can the precious body.
Fortunately, this matter is not difficult to solve - for Jiang Xia, who has several spies, it is easy to distinguish which cup of coffee the medicine was dropped into. And there was only one cup of drugged coffee.
In other words, as long as one person is 100% infected, the others will naturally be safe.
In the kitchen, the coffee hasn't been brewed yet.
...This is just right. If you want to get coffee, you need to take action in advance.
With this in mind, Jiang Xia sat on the sofa and chose a deserted place to disperse the shikigami and let the puppets gather there.
…
After Conan went to the bathroom, he met Rokuta Shoji and received some towels from him to wipe away the rain.
Conan returned to the restaurant and distributed towels to his companions. When they were sent to Jiangxia, Conan looked up and felt a thump in his heart - here he is, in this autistic state of losing his soul again.
Did the corpse by the pool just now have such a big impact on Jiang Xia? Could it be that the deceased this time was a man, which made Jiang Xia feel more involved than the long-haired black sister in the bathroom last time, so he was disturbed to a deeper extent?
Conan sighed inwardly.
Damaged vehicles, water, and even explosions... These are elements that often appear in homicide cases in Tokyo. Jiang Xia's situation will undoubtedly be affected in many cases.
Thinking of this, Conan suddenly felt that a certain sentence made sense - indeed, when God opens a door, he will close a window.
From this point of view, even a god could only use physical discomfort to restrict Jiang Xia when he was trying to solve a case... How terrifying is Jiang Xia's reasoning talent?
Having said that...according to this theory, Kudo Shinichi was tragically reduced in size. Could it be that he was punished by God because of his excessive reasoning?
...In other words, in the eyes of gods, Kudo Shinichi is on the same level as Jiang Xia. Conan thought for a while, his mood subtly improved, and he felt strangely proud of being certified.
A second later, Conan slapped himself in the face. Oops, my train of thought went astray and I started to believe in theology...
Conan condemned himself for what he had just done and continued on with his business.
Originally, Conan wanted to use a towel to help Jiang Xia drain the water off her body, but comparing the height... Unless he climbed on the sofa, he would not be able to reach Jiang Xia's head.
Conan sighed and gave up. He turned to look at Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko next to him, then quickly crossed out Mao Lilan and walked towards Suzuki Sonoko, intending to give her the towel and ask her to help.
But at this time, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly let out an exclamation.
Others in the restaurant were startled and followed her gaze warily, finding that there was an additional child in the corridor at some point.
The child was hiding behind a tall potted plant, with half of his body exposed, and was secretly watching them, looking like he wanted to come over but didn't dare.
After seeing this scene clearly, others reacted belatedly - Suzuki Sonoko's scream just now was not that she was frightened. On the contrary, it seemed to be a pure surprise.
...This is understandable. Although the strange child behind the potted plant appears at a strange time, his appearance is not at all like the ghost dolls often seen in ghost stories. Instead, he is very cute and makes people fall in love with him at first sight. .
In the silent atmosphere of "favorability +1", the only one who remained unmoved was Conan.
——He recognized it at a glance. It was not a cute "child", it was a fake child who seemed to be working with Anonymous and could become an adult...or in other words, a tomboy who turned from an adult to a child!
Conan was about to remind Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko not to be fooled by appearances.
But before he could make a sound, a gust of wind blew by.
When Conan came back to his senses, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko had already teleported to the child. While they asked softly about the child's condition, they reached out eagerly to pick him up.
In fact, before approaching, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were worried about scaring this strange child and did not want to reach out. Instead, they planned to ask about the situation first and get close.
But for some reason, as soon as they arrived next to Xiaobai, the two of them couldn't control their hands.
Conan's expression changed: "Don't hug him, he..." He is an adult who has shrunk!
...But I can’t say it.
Otherwise, his vest will definitely fall off as well.
When Conan's words reached his lips, he could only swallow them back, almost choking himself to the point of vomiting blood.
