"What are the results of the preliminary examination of the body?" Chi Feichi asked again.
"About two hours before we found the body, she was strangled with a rope and suffocated to death," Mouri Kogoro said. "There are cuts and scratches on her hands and feet. It should be that she was hit by a branch during a struggle. Something like that scratched..."
Conan took over the words thoughtfully, "In other words, after the murderer killed Miss Pingliang in the woods, he moved to the beach and left those words."
"The traces of the Yoshikawa line are a bit strange," Chi Feichi buttoned up, took the jacket handed by Haihara Ai and put it on, and said in a calm tone, "The struggle was not obvious. It seemed that there was a struggle at the beginning and then quickly. give up."
"Yoshikawa line?" Toyama and Ye were confused.
"The police's technical term is the scratches on the neck of the deceased when he struggled to pull away the rope before he was strangled to death." Hattori Heiji finished explaining and touched his chin. "In other words, the traces of the Yoshikawa Line It is indeed a bit strange. If she struggled at the beginning and gave up soon, and Miss Taira did not have any trauma from the blow that could cause her to lose her strength, then either the murderer was very strong, or for some reason, Miss Taira was killed in the process. Give up the struggle..."
"Did the murderer say something to her?" Mouri Kogoro guessed, "For example, he threatened her with her family, and if she struggled, he would attack her family, etc..."
Conan had a black line on his head: "..."
Uncle, please don’t be like this. Can you come up with a more reliable idea?
"But, is Ms. Pingliang looking for the anchor?" Mao Lilan looked at the dim light around her, feeling terrified. She moved to Haiyuan Ai and hugged her, "If not, what is she looking for?"
Haibara Ai:"……"
She can borrow Fei Chi...forget it, it's okay if she lends Xiaolan a hug.
"Is there really nothing else special in the sea?" Mouri Kogoro looked at Xiang Chi Feichi.
Chi Feichi nodded and confirmed, "I searched a lot, but this one is special."
"Is that strange?" Hattori Heiji touched his chin, "The anchor sank to the bottom of the sea in 40 or 5 years, but the male body was discovered last year..."
"Four or five years ago? By the way, a series of incidents seemed to have happened in the mayor's house? The time seemed to be four or five years ago?" Noburo Ikema looked at Kume Yoshitsugi who was sitting next to him. "Isn't that right?"
"Uh, yes." Kume Yoshitsugi was a little absent-minded.
"A series of events?" Conan looked at Noburo Ikema curiously.
"It started five years ago. The mayor's only daughter, Miss Xiaodu, was kidnapped?" Noburo Ikema said. "A year later, another robber broke into the mayor's house and stole his family's golden screen. ?The mayor and the housekeeper who received the call from the kidnapper said that the kidnapper and the gangster who stole the screen were the same person."
"Where's the gangster next?" Conan asked.
Kume Yoshitsugi spread his hands: "Because the mayor refused to pay the ransom of Miss Xiaodo and Pingfeng? The gangster was not caught later? Miss Xiaodou and Pingfeng's whereabouts are unknown."
"Is that mayor going too far? I heard that when his only daughter was kidnapped, it happened to be the time when his wife passed away, but he refused to pay the ransom. A maid was also killed at the time, and the housekeeper was so scared that he resigned. Did it? And said behind his back that the mayor was a cold-blooded person who actually refused to pay the ransom? " Director Taketomi Masao said angrily, and suddenly got scared again. "Later, the male corpse was found in this uninhabited island holiday house. Now that something like this is happening, it makes people wonder whether there is really an envoy from Gusuo who is seeking his life..."
Toyama, Ye and Mao Lilan looked at each other and began to guess that the 'princess' in the text left by the man refers to Miss Xiaodu. He guessed that after Miss Xiaodu was killed, he felt resentful and transformed into a messenger of death to kill Taira Ie... …
Seeing that the discussion was heading in the mysterious direction, Hui Yuan Ai fell silent.
Discussion is a discussion, Xiaolan hugged her too tightly.
"Xiao Ai, don't be afraid," Mao Lilan comforted Haiyuan Ai with a trembling voice, "Everyone is here, it's okay..."
Haibara Ai:"……"
She wasn't afraid.
Dadong Mikihiko listened, took out a knife, and was about to stab the table. As soon as he raised his hand, his wrist was tightly grasped by a hand.
Chi Feichi: "..."
This man suddenly took a knife and let it go. Can you not let the reflection shine in his eyes? It made him have a conditioned reflex.
Everyone else turned to look at Daidong Mikihiko, who was holding a knife high and whose wrist was grabbed by Chi Feichi, and their expressions suddenly became alert and frightened.
What does this person want to do?
"Don't, don't misunderstand," Dadong Mianyan was stunned for a moment. After Chi Feichi let go, he put the knife on the table and said with sweat, "I want to tell the three ladies that if they are afraid of the Gusuo envoy, just take it. Hold on to this knife, I heard that as long as you bite the knife in your mouth, the Gusuo Messenger will not be able to absorb people's souls."
"So that's it." Mao Lilan hesitated, still a little unconvinced.
"I don't feel the murderous intention." Hui Yuan Ai said, feeling sweaty in his heart.
Fei Chi, what's your reaction? too fast?
If there are really gangsters, whether they come head-on or sneak attack, they will probably be dealt with by Brother Fei Chi before they can take action.
Suddenly I feel very safe...
Mao Lilan thought that Haihara Ai was thinking of a child, and seeing that Dadong Mikihiko was honest and unprepared, she didn't take Haihara Ai's words to heart. She picked up the knife and handed it to Haihara Ai who was hugging her tightly. , "Then Xiao Ai, just hold this knife."
Hui Yuarai hesitated for a moment, but still did not refuse.
It would be better for her to keep such dangerous things, and with her child's body, it would be very dangerous if she encounters bad people.
Holding a knife, you might need it at some point.
Conan looked at Haihara Ai who was held tightly in Mao Lilan's arms, feeling inexplicably envious.
He really doesn't envy anything else, he just envies Haibara Ai for having self-defense tools...really...
"And you can hold it for self-defense, right?" Seeing that others no longer stared at him with vigilant eyes, Mikihiko Daito breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, stood up and opened the cupboard behind him. , deliberately stunned, took out the cup placed on the outside, "Oh? This is interesting."
The cup was filled with water and seemed to have been used as an ashtray, with cigarette butts of different brands soaked in it.
A group of people felt uneasy again, and at the suggestion of Mouri Kogoro, they decided to divide into two teams and search the house again.
The team on the second floor was led by Mouri Kogoro, along with Daito Mikihiko, Kume Yoshitsugi, and Ikema Noburo. Mao Lilan considered that Daito Mikihiko might be a dangerous person and was not worried about her father, so she followed him to the second floor.
Ike Feichi is responsible for the first floor. He, Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha, Haibara Ai, Taketomi Masao, and Conan are also following.
Walking in the corridor, Masao Taketomi was still a little uneasy. He looked around and asked Chi Feichi nervously, "You are a girl and a child. You have to protect so many of us. Is it okay?"
Chi Feichi: "..."
Too many people to protect?
Even if you encounter a dangerous person, no matter how many people there are on the other side or how many people are on your side, don't you still have to rush up and knock everyone over?
Hammer down those who bring danger, and everyone will be safe.
"Uncle, Kazuha is a master of Aikido," Hattori Heiji said with a half-moon eye. "I have also practiced kendo for many years. There is no need to worry about the kid wearing glasses next to me. He is very smart."
I added silently in my mind: There are also anesthesia needles for self-defense.
"As for the big one next to Brother Fei Chi... cough, as for Xiao Ai, don't worry either. She is still holding a knife. She can run away no matter what." Hattori Heiji said, silently adding in his heart: In fact, the only ones who need protection are There was only Masao Taketomi.
Conan also had something he didn't have the heart to say: After all, Taketomi Masao seemed very timid and weak in combat, so he placed Taketomi Masao in this team with a high-fighting boss and everyone else can protect themselves.
"Don't worry about the Feichi that Haiyuan is holding," Conan added. "If it encounters danger, its size will make it easier to hide or escape, and maybe it can help subdue the gangster..."
"Not Chi?" Taketomi Masao was confused.
Haibara Ai raised his arm to let Taketomi Masao see Feichi.
Taketomi Masao's face turned pale again and again, "It, isn't it a fake snake?"
Chi Feichi: "..."
He said how could these people be so calm and not surprised when they saw a little girl playing with a snake? It turned out that they mistook Fei Chi for a fake snake.
Haibara Ai showed Taketomi Masao the non-red look and put down her arms, "This is alive."
Taketomi Masao silently took a step back, wanting to stay away from Haibara Ai, but the current forward formation was that Chi Feichi was leading the way, Haibara Ai took a step forward, he and Conan followed closely, and Hattori Heiji followed Toyama and Ye Dan. , he is the safest here.
If he wanted to stay away from this gray-black, cold, slippery snake, he would either go ahead to clear the way, or go behind Hattori Heiji and the others. It was not safe no matter what he thought...
"But you kid is too cunning, isn't it?" Hattori Heiji said about Conan again, "You actually didn't go with the uncle and followed us all the time. In this way, you can go to the first floor while the uncle goes to the second floor, right? Is it equivalent to seeing the entire house?"
Conan raised his head and gave Hattori Heiji a squinting smile that looked cute but was actually provocative.
This is what he planned to do, if you can, drive him away.
Now that everyone has been separated for a while, does Hattori have the heart to let him walk through the corridor and climb the stairs alone to find his uncle and the others?
Hattori Heiji:"……"
(▼ plate▼#)
Why is this smile so provocative? Annoying!
Search all the way in until you find the room at the end.
That room was much more spacious than the others and should be the room of the mayor and his wife.
Hattori Heiji found a photo in the photo frame on the table that was superimposed under the photo of the mayor and his wife. The photo was of the mayor and a young girl.
The girl has fair skin, a princess-cut black hair hanging down, beautiful facial features, and an elegant look and manner.
"This girl is Miss Koto, the mayor's only daughter," Taketomi Masao said. "She is very similar to the mayor's wife. She has fair skin and a gentle personality. In the past, the residents of the island were guessing who would be lucky enough to win her heart. , I didn’t expect that she would be kidnapped five years ago when she was a junior high school student, and her whereabouts are unknown since then.”
Chi Feichi looked at the photo. If he remembered correctly, Ie Taira was the Miss Xiaodu. Not only was her whereabouts unknown, but she was also dead now.
However, looking at the fair-skinned, gentle and elegant look of the girl in the photo, it is really difficult to connect with the wild beauty of Taira Ie.
