Of course Kuroki couldn't agree to being searched. Needless to say, there were so many prohibited items on his body and in this house. Just the things he put on his body now couldn't be seen by others.
The USB flash drive sent to him by his former partner was still in his jacket pocket, and the contents inside could not be seen by anyone, including the police... thinking that he should really get rid of this thing first.
Otherwise, you will still have to search your body when the police come.
Ignoring the strange looks from others, Kuromu Ren sat still in his original position with a calm expression and did not speak again.
In fact, he was not very active that night. If someone were to commit murder in his home, he would have jumped to arrest them. But all night today, I was either avoiding conflicts with others, or hiding behind my back and watching the two detectives, one large and one small, looking for clues to solve the case.
But then again, it would have been weird for him to be here.
Except for Kitaniharaji who was not opposed to the body search, the others refused to be searched, so the matter was settled.
Everyone sat around the sofa and watched the time go by. They didn't dare to eat anything because of Hinata's poisoning.
They didn't dare, but Kuroki Ren was not afraid. After sitting for a while, he went to look for food in the refrigerator.
The kitchen was a crime scene and couldn't be turned on, so Kuroki simply heated some cans and put them on the coffee table to eat whenever he wanted.
"It's dawn, Kuroki." Conan reminded. Kuroki Ren took a sip of water and looked outside at the still gloomy sky.
Compared to the darkness on a rainy night, it was indeed much brighter outside in the morning, but this little light was not enough for people to risk going down the mountain.
What's more, although the rain outside has lightened up, it hasn't stopped.
"I'm going out to make a phone call." Kuroki Ren stood up and walked out of the door cautiously.
These people who had been frightened all night began to fall asleep not long ago, and even the frightened Misu Noriko fell asleep on the sofa. And Uncle Maori, who said he wanted to protect others, slept soundly than anyone else.
The big sofa was given to the three girls for them to rest, and the rest were busy on the small sofa or carpet. Kuroki could only tiptoe and try not to make any noise when he went out.
Edogawa Conan rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly. He was also a little sleepy. If the storm in his brain hadn't stopped, he would have fallen asleep long ago.
Kuroki Jin gently closed the door. The environment outside was so humid that it made his nose uncomfortable. He waved his hand and wished he could inhale the mist.
There was still no signal on the phone, but Kuroki Ren didn't just go back. Instead, he went out and walked a few steps forward, parted a patch of grass and found the secret door of the garage.
He drove up here, and the road cars here couldn't drive up the mountainside at all. The reason why no one mentioned this from the beginning to the end was that he hid the car.
Yes, it was actually very easy for Kuroki Jin to go down the mountain. He could set out last night and go down the mountain via a road that no one knew.
He can even tell everyone about this road. Even walking for half a night is enough to reach the foot of the mountain.
But he didn't do that.
After closing the garage door, Kuroki patted the water on his clothes and opened the trunk of the car.
Faced with the situation of being trapped without signal, the organization has a set of reasonable first aid measures: First, you need a super signal receiver developed by the organization.
Kuroki Ren always keeps this kind of necessity at his side just in case, that is, he didn't find a suitable opportunity to get it out yesterday.
Turning on the signal receiver, the signal bar above the phone instantly increased by two bars, and it vibrated countless times.
Kuroki Jin threw the phone aside to let it calm down for a while, hid the USB flash drive he was carrying in the hidden compartment under the driver's seat, and returned to the back seat to check the messages on the phone during this period.
Most of them were from Jiangcheng Dahe, and a few were from Chiga Airi. As for the organization's useful letters, there were only half of them.
Haha, a fishing organization.
Jiang Chengdahe called him yesterday afternoon. At that time, it might have been because the phone automatically shut down because it ran out of battery. Then when he turned it on again, the signal was lost.
After no one answered the two calls, Jiangcheng Dahe began to send emails to tell Kuroki about the information he had collected around him.
The villagers at the foot of the mountain said that no outsiders have been here recently, and there is more than one way up the mountain. If someone goes up the mountain from other places, they can't see it.
He asked again about the abandoned orphanage house, but the villagers only said that it had been abandoned for a long time and no one usually went there.
"But there is something strange about this." Jiang Chengdahe repeated what the villagers had said, "It has been rainy recently, and we used to repair the roof of that house when we were free. But this year It seems that there are no leaks in that shabby house."
No leaks...
Kuroki Ren frowned and continued to look down. Next, Jiang Chengdahe waited for a while and no one responded to him, asking him what was going on.
After thinking about it, Kuromu Ren still called Jiang Chengdahe.
It was empty for a few seconds, and then he picked up.
"Hello." The signal reception was still not very good, and I could barely hear what was coming intermittently. "Yangping? Why did you come back? Did something happen?"
"Yeah." Kuroki Ren walked around with the receiver, trying to find a better location. "I took in a few backpackers who were hiding from the rain in the villa above. Unexpectedly, two of them died."
"Then it rains and the signal may not be very good. I can't receive any messages in the house. I have to go out and get the receiver to make outgoing calls."
"Two died?" Jiang Chengdahe asked, "Who died? How did they die? Does it have anything to do with us?"
Kuroki Jin: "Two young men, scum level, one was stabbed to death and the other was poisoned. Whether there is any relationship depends on the police investigation results."
"Tsk, police."
Kuroki Jin sneered.
"Then Airi and I will go up the mountain first. It may take a while to climb the mountain on foot."
"Let's take the car."
"Huh?" Jiang Chengdahe was stunned for a moment, "If we go up by car now, the road will be exposed."
"What I mean is," Kuroki Jin explained, "call the police for me and tell them someone is trapped on the mountain, and then tell them about that road."
"Why?"
Kuroki Ren sighed quietly, "There are still troublesome people in the room, and the secret here can no longer be kept."
After restoring everything to its original state, Kuroki Jin emerged from the grass, and as expected saw Edogawa Conan waiting for him in the rain.
"If you weren't watching them in the house, why did you come out to find me?"
Kuroki Jin was not surprised. Judging from how wet Conan's clothes were, he might have been standing in the rain for a while.
"Kuroki, you can indeed go down the mountain."
Conan looked past him at the covered garage behind him, "I just started to think back from when we entered, and I found that you borrowed the doctor's umbrella to go out not long after we entered."
“I came back with a new umbrella in my hand and quickly charged up my phone.”
Conan smiled slightly, "I didn't think much about it at the time, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid there are other darkrooms here that I don't know about. But then I thought about whether putting umbrellas and charging cables in the darkroom is too fussy..."
"So, you parked your car outside and forgot to pick up your daily necessities before entering the house. This is the most reasonable explanation."
Conan pushed up his glasses and asked in a pleading tone, "Can I call the police?"
