The group returned to the villa.
From the back door to the corridor, I happened to meet Tabata Kikuyo coming back with shopping bags.
After asking, I learned that the other person was going to buy creamer.
Okuhira Eiko said immediately:
"I'm sorry, Kikuyo, because I don't know where I put the clothes Takugo wore before. Can you help me find them?"
"Oh, okay," Tabata Kikuyo nodded and then said, "But Master..."
"Sending coffee, right? It's not urgent, it hasn't been brewed yet," said Okuhira Eiko.
"No," Tabata Kikuyo shook his head slightly, "I brewed the coffee before I went out."
"That's it..."
Okuhira Eiko looked at Hondo Eiyu and Conan, who were waiting silently, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll deliver the coffee. You go and find clothes for them first."
"Yeah, no problem."
Tabata Kikuyo nodded, handed the shopping bag to Okuhira Eiko, and led everyone towards the storage room, "Follow me."
It seems that it is indeed more useful than the butler... Ye Gengyi silently commented.
At the same time, he is also guessing at what time Eiyou is going to choose to reveal the murderer's method of killing Okhira Tōgo.
Although the little detective was influenced by himself, most of his thoughts were focused on the non-existent Swindler, but Eiyu Hondo was able to beat him in the speed of collecting clues. This is no longer planned. Disguise and prepare for a showdown?
Thinking room.
The maid Tabata Kikuyo also moved a box out of the storage room neatly.
Conan and Hondou Eyou picked two clothes that fit well and changed directly from the corridor.
Not a moment later.
Okuhira Eiko, who said she was going to deliver coffee to Okuhira Kakuzo, came back from the kitchen with confusion on her face, "Kikuyo, I didn't see the brewed coffee in the kitchen. Could you be the one who remembered it?" Is that wrong?"
"is that so?"
Tabata Kikuyo hesitated for a moment, "But I clearly made the coffee before going out to buy things."
"Kacha..."
Behind him, the door of the villa was opened again, and Segawa Hatakero walked in from there.
Okuhira Eiko immediately asked: "Segawa, have you seen the coffee in the kitchen?"
"No..." Segawa Hatakero shook his head, "I just finished maintaining the car."
Seeing how many people were discussing endlessly over a pot of coffee, Mouri Kogoro was speechless. "Could it be that Mr. Kakuzo couldn't wait any longer and took it to the house to drink?"
He just finished speaking.
A sound like breaking ceramics was heard coming from the direction of the study.
In an instant, the expressions on the faces of Okuhira Eiko, Segawa Hatakero and Tabata Kikuyo became tense, and then they walked quickly towards that direction.
"Could it be that the big vase happened to be broken?" Maori Kogoro guessed.
"No way."
Hondo Eyou explained: "That is Uncle Kakuzo's most precious antique. It is said to be worth as much as 50 million yuan."
"5, 50 million yuan?!" Mouri Kogoro heard this and remembered the scene where he almost broke it in the study, and his expression suddenly changed.
At this moment, Okuhira Kakuzo's shout came again from the study room:
"Stop! Don't open the door!"
ah? What's wrong?
Mouri Kogoro and Hondo Eiyu looked at each other blankly.
It wasn't until two figures, one large and one small, flashed beside him that he finally woke up and hurried to follow.
However, it was still too late.
The study door has already been opened.
In front of his sight was an old man hanging himself with a rope hanging from the ceiling.
"How could it be? Why, husband..."
Okuhira Eiko couldn't believe her eyes and rushed over to save people.
"No, madam, there are fragments of the vase on the ground!"
Tabata Kikuyo hurriedly stopped in front of her, but because she was too fat, her steps were unsteady when she turned around.
The hand used to stop Okuhira Eiko, in the eyes of Ye Gengyi, who had just used a similar technique in the backyard, was completely a conspiracy to bring the opponent down with her.
Sure enough, Okuhira Eiko, who had not expected this, how could she defeat the obese Tabata Kikuyo.
The two of them fell to the floor without any fanfare.
The reaction of the butler Segawa Hatakero also seemed particularly strange.
He ignored Okuhira Kakuzo hanging in mid-air, lowered his head and asked concernedly: "Madam, Kikuyo, are you not injured?"
Don't you care?
Okay, you don't care and I don't care... Ye Geng kept on killing the fish eyes, deliberately slowing down and moving his body closer to the wall, so that Mouri Kogoro, who was chasing after him, could walk side by side with him, so that Conan, who temporarily acted as a 'speed limiter' , just right in front of him.
"Hey... don't be stunned, hurry up and save people!"
Mouri Kogoro rushed into the study very efficiently, yelled at Segawa Hatakero, then went around behind Okuhira Kakuzo and started to untie the rope.
Ye Gengyi naturally doesn't like being too "Buddhist".
After walking slowly into the study, he came to Okudaira Kakuzo's side and started to help.
"Damn it, why is the rope so hard!"
Mouri Kogoro held the rope buckle and pulled it outward. As a result, the rope could not be untied at all, just like his usual reasoning.
"Mr. Mori, please move your hands away."
Ye Gengyi took the scissors from the shelf nearby and neatly cut the knot in two from the middle. He turned his head and glanced at Eiko Okuhira, who had been paralyzed on the ground since she fell.
After confirming that there is no complacency or other joyful emotions that are difficult to conceal in the other person's expression.
Then he looked at Segawa Hatakero and said, "Mr. Butler, please call the ambulance and the police."
"Ah? I...I..." Segawa Hataro seemed to be still shocked by the sudden change. In terms of senses, his already clumsy mind seemed to have become even more ineffective at this time.
"I'll do it!" Mao Lilan volunteered and quickly took out her mobile phone.
(?_?)...Do you like taking notes so much...
Ye Geng was stunned, but he couldn't stop him directly. In the end, he just said softly and said no more.
Immediately, he first focused on the broken vase fragments.
I looked around and couldn't find another white glove.
strangeness?
It didn’t happen... I thought the murder was announced a year ago anyway, so it’s okay to just kill the opponent this time?
If so, such serial murderers are quite rare in the world of science.
Moreover, the murderer did not restrain Okuhira Kakuzo's hands and mouth, and there was no recording equipment or speakers for external playback at the scene. How on earth did that person prevent the deceased from leaving any pre-death message or grabbing him with his hands before being killed? How about hanging himself on a rope to save himself, but shouting "Stop, don't open the door" and then just being hung here obediently?
Ye Gengyi frowned slightly as he felt the dissonance in the scene.
