"Ah!!!" Xiaolan was so frightened by He Ye's frightened words that she shrank, then she hugged He Ye's thin waist and buried her whole head into He Ye's abdomen.
Heye was originally frightened when he told the dust-laden terrifying memories. His mind was filled with the terrifying atmosphere at that time. But when Xiaolan buried her head like this, her frightened expression suddenly froze, and then she showed a smile. Not smiling, but a strange expression that looks like crying but not crying.
"Ha...it's so itchy...Xiaolan~"
Everyone: "..."
Conan silently walked away from Hattori and sat down next to Xiaolan.
Misstep, I should have been sitting here just now!
Hattori noticed Conan's behavior, which was a bit baffling.
"Ahem, what happens next? Did you swarm up and catch the person who was pretending to be a fool?" Mouri Kogoro continued the topic again.
Heye lifted Xiaolan's body and hugged her instead. Then when faced with the uncle's question, she shook her head repeatedly: "What are you talking about? Who dares to arrest this person? Besides, after seeing the person at that time, all the lights in the room went out! "
"Then we heard an intrusive clicking sound, and everyone was so frightened that they backed away and huddled together... Later, I took out my mobile phone, and by the light of the mobile phone, I suggested leaving here first, and the light suddenly turned on again, and The person who was in the bathroom just now...disappeared!"
Mouri Kogoro made a 'cut' sound and said disapprovingly: "It's just a remote control to control the switch. I can deceive students like you. That guy has already escaped under the cover of darkness!"
Hattori said seriously: "If it was just a prank of this level, there would be no need for us to go to Togan! In fact, a piece of paper printed by the printer was found in the bathroom where the guy disappeared, which said 'disappeared' It’s just my body, not my words’!”
"Also, on the tiles on the wall where the man's head rested, letters were carved with a knife, right, Kazuha?"
He Ye nodded and said with unusual solemnity: "The three letters, E, Y, E, are very large and eye-catching. When we came to the bathroom door, we noticed it immediately!"
"Those three letters obviously disappeared together with that person, but there are still words written on the paper that will not disappear..."
After thinking about it, Mouri Kogoro said: "Could these engraved tiles be interchanged with other tiles without traces? For example, in corners of walls..."
"Hmm, that's what I thought at first, because there were a lot of messy and irregular scratches on the tiles below. However, I found that those tiles were gradient, and the color kept getting lighter from top to bottom, so the two were different. If you want to exchange tiles of different colors, you must be color-blind!" Heye said with certainty.
"Have you ever seen Brother Heiji?" Conan asked suddenly.
"I went there, but I didn't see it!" Hattori said with a gloomy look on his face, "That house suddenly started a renovation project, and they didn't let me in at all. I was really pissed off!"
"So, Sister Heye, how long did the lights in the room go out?" Conan asked again.
"This... feels like a century has passed..." Heye said and shook his head, "Of course it's definitely not that long, but it's quite long, at least three or four minutes."
"I must have prepared the same tiles in advance and then replaced them in the dark. Isn't this just a prank?" Mouri Kogoro said disdainfully.
"It is possible, but..." Hattori changed the subject, "Mr. Wakamatsu who was killed in Karuizawa was also assassinated in a tiled bathroom. When his body was first discovered, he should have used himself. He wrote a pre-death message, but when the police arrived, he mysteriously disappeared."
The uncle began to speculate and analyze again, while Hoshino Sora pinched his chin and said hesitantly: "If I remember correctly, the word eye means eye..."
Hattori rolled his eyes: "If you ask this in front of that teacher Judy, I would call you the strongest!"
"It does mean the eyes." Kazuye still answered Hoshino Sora's question which didn't seem to be a problem.
"Hmm~" Hoshino Sora said in deep thought, "Then let's sort out our thoughts. First, a man named Wakamatsu died, and then a ghost sent a letter to Hattori in the name of Wakamatsu, inviting him to his old house in Osaka, but Hattori had a cold that day. Kazuha went instead and saw a ghost with his classmates. The ghost carved "eye" on the wall tiles, and then the lights went out. When the lights came on, the ghosts and the words on the tiles disappeared, leaving only a piece of paper. strip……"
"Finally, the disappearance of the text on the tiles is similar to the pre-death message at Wakamatsu's death scene! So, can we draw a simple conclusion? The ghost is showing us this weird way of making the pre-death message disappear! "
Hattori complained: "Isn't it obvious? He doesn't believe in my ability, so he deliberately arranged a similar scene for me to crack... Really, if I had known that day, I should have pushed through. You must be laughed at by the murderer now!"
"Simple?" Mouri Kogoro raised his eyebrows, "Is there something deeper?"
"Yes!" Hoshino Sora picked up a handful of grapes and threw them into the air. After catching them one by one with his mouth, he chewed the juice and said, "Most actions have a purpose, so a murderer Murderer, why did you write a letter to provoke Hattori? Why didn't you come to me or uncle? "
Hattori frowned slightly: "The murderer may be from Kansai, and in the Kansai area, I am naturally the most famous, so it makes sense for him to find me!"
"Is it because of this?" Hoshino Sora shook his head, "It can be considered a reason, but it is not convincing."
Hattori: "Uh..."
"This is a doubtful point. If you can't explain it, let's skip it first." Hoshino Sora continued, "Let's analyze the second question. Excuse me, who benefits the most from Wakamatsu's death?"
Hattori and Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but widen their eyes, and said in unison: "Do you suspect that the murderer is the person who benefits the most?"
"Isn't this the normal direction?" Hoshino Sora said casually, "Wakamatsu is the president, right? There are too many cases involving the death of the president. To sum up, it is either a vendetta or an interest dispute. The rest is the work of robbers and gangsters. Yes! So, Hattori, how about President Wakamatsu? Does he exploit his employees? Does he usury? Does he have many children?"
"I am a design president, not a loan sharking president!" Hattori rolled his eyes, then carefully recalled it, and said, "From the few times I have seen him, although he looks strict and old-fashioned, he still treats people very well. He's quite kind. As for his children, well, wait a minute and I'll ask my mother."
