Chapter 165

At the party time, the gloomy xusickle helped to prepare snacks, while Huangyi also brought wine from the wine cellar.

After leaving Conan's room, Gao Cheng went down the stairs and saw the crowd around the dining table: "where's uncle Maori?"

"Dad, he went back to the car to get the cigarettes."

"That old smoker..."

"Well," Naoko Kuroda said with a smile, "we are all ready. Mr. Chenghu, first find a chair to sit down."

"The other two haven't come yet..."

"They won't come," said uncle Maori, with a heavy face in his overcoat. He opened the porch door and walked into the living room. "I went to the cliff just now. I don't know who burned the suspension bridge!"

"Ah? How could that be? "

The people in the living room were shocked and said, "which is the only way down the mountain?"

"There must be a limit to mischief..."

"It's not a prank," said uncle Maori with a serious look. "If I guess right, I'm afraid someone wants to trap us here."

"But who would do such a thing?"

"Well..."

In the face of confusion, uncle Maori couldn't say why: "didn't you do it?"

"Come on, why are we stuck in a place like this?"

Kuroda Naoko said with a worried face: "the phone has been unable to get through, should not be where the phone line has been cut off?"

Gao Cheng's face changes when he hears that the suspension bridge has been burned. If it's a coincidence, it can't be said that the suspension bridge has also been burned. Maybe what will happen this time

"And Mr. Hamano?" Gao Cheng glanced at the crowd and asked.

"He should still be in his room thinking about afterlife." Yuanzi responded.

"Still in the room?"

Gao Cheng's eyebrows jumped, but without any explanation, he rushed upstairs: "Mr. Huang, which room does Mr. binye live in?"

"Room 302... What's the matter?"

Huang Yi and Yuan Zi followed Gao Cheng up the stairs in doubt.

"Mr. Hamano! Mr. Hamano? " Gao Cheng finds Room 302 and knocks on the door. After no one answers, he turns the doorknob and finds that the door is unlocked.

Open the door, there is no shadow inside, only the open balcony window blowing in bursts of cold wind, curtain dancing with the wind.

"Strange, isn't Mr. Hamano here?" Huang Yi is a few people followed into the room, surprised to see Gao Cheng silent standing outside the balcony.

"It's still late..."

Gao Cheng looks closely at the wide snow center of the backyard. At night, Hamano lies motionless in the snow, with no footprints around him.

"How is that possible? How did you get there... "

"Mr. Hamano!"

Uncle Maori ran downstairs in a hurry, and rushed to Hamano Liye in front of the crowd. After checking Hamano's condition, his face changed and he cried out: "don't come here! He's dead! "

"What?"

"How?"

Huang Yize and others stopped in horror: "Mr. Maori, this..."

Uncle said in a deep voice: "from now on, no one is allowed to act casually, let alone destroy the scene!"

"The scene?"

"Don't you see that? The body is more than 10 meters away from the villa, but there are only footprints left by me just now. That is to say, this is an impossible crime

Uncle Maori put down Hamano's body again and stood up seriously to look at the crowd.

"Not yet. I'm actually a detective..."

"Ah Kuroda Naoko responded, "is Mr. Maori the famous Maori Kogoro?"

"Maori Kogoro?"

"No?"

Huang Yi looked at Uncle Maori in surprise: "I thought it was just a coincidence..."

"Well," Uncle Maori cleared his throat, "I'm really a detective, Maori Kogoro. Next, could you please gather in the living room? It's probably someone here who killed Mr. Hamano... "

"Well? You mean some of us are killers? "

"Well, I didn't say that. It could be someone hiding nearby. Of course, the murderer is very likely to be among you."

Uncle Maori took them back to the living room of the villa.

"Now the only thing I know is that someone strangled Mr. Hamano's neck with a string or something. After killing him, he was transported to the backyard in some way. The time of committing the crime was after Mr. Hamano went back to his room alone."

Uncle Maori asked, "can you tell me what you were doing at that time?"

"I was preparing the tableware with Miss Kuroda," said tujingta first, "right, Miss Kuroda?"

"Well," Kuroda nodded, "but when it's done, I'll go to the kitchen again to help Mr. sukame."

"Help?"

"Mr. Huang asked me to prepare food and wine." The dull beard sickle pointed to the dining table.

"Well, I happened to be on the other side of the drawbridge at that time," Uncle Maori asked, pondering, touching his chin and continuing to look at the tujingtucker tree. "So you'll be alone?"

"Ah, I'm going to my room to get some biscuits for dinner," tujingta explained hastily

"Oh? Take the biscuit? " Uncle stares at tujing tower, quite suspicious.

"I went to my room to see Conan," the garden continued, "and then I stayed with Xiao Lan all the time."

Xiaolan nodded hard: "I just saw Chenghu senior."

"As for me, I'm in charge of burning bath water. I've been in the Chaifang all the time," Tanaka explained

"Where's Mr. Huang?"

"Oh, I went to the cellar to get the wine."

"It won't take long to get the wine, will it?" Uncle Maori was suspicious.

"I forgot to change the lock in the cellar, so I went back to the villa to get the key." Waste justice is anxious.

"How long did it take?"

"This..."

"About eight minutes," Xu explained, "Miss Tanaka left the living room to boil water, and Mr. Huang came back from the wine cellar for about eight minutes, because I was using the oven."

Uncle Wen Yan frowned: "in this case, there is really no time to do other things."

"Well," said kikui Tanaka, shivering, "it's so cold. Can I go to my room and get a dress to wear?"

Uncle Maori said eagerly, "of course, Miss Tanaka. For the sake of safety, I'll go with you..."

Next to Xiao Lan's eyes, she also got up and said, "I'll go too. I'll go and see Conan."

"Let's get together."

Tanaka guijiuhui and uncle Maori went upstairs vigilantly, and the people left in the living room fell into silence.

Since the murderer burned down the suspension bridge, it is very likely that he will kill again. Everyone is very worried that he will become the next target.

"A good party would be like this," Kuroda said bitterly. "Does the killer want to kill us all?"

Huang Yi comforted: "we should be ok if we stay together. Tomorrow we'll see if we can contact the outside."

"It's all my fault," Yuanzi said, sitting on the side, holding his finger tightly. "I killed Mr. Hamano, because I chose him to perform the afterlife program, he just..."

"What nonsense?" Gao Cheng looked at the garden with tears in his eyes and said, "it's nothing to do with you at all. It's just a magic... You just happened to be used by Mr. Hamano to perform magic."

"Eh?"

"What really makes me care..."

Gao Cheng got up and picked up the note beside the phone: "Mr. Hamano seems to be very surprised that he was selected. It seems that the original person in charge of the afterlife program should be tujing tower... Why did the magic fail? What happened in the middle, and the magic technique... "

Gao Cheng frowned slightly.

If tujingta is Kidd, it's not impossible for him to cheat in front of Hamano, but Kidd can't kill people... Although that guy is very annoying, he will never mess around

"If there is a second person, the magic is very simple." The voice of Huiyuan suddenly rang out in Gao Cheng's ear.

"Xiao AI?" Gao Cheng is slightly embarrassed, "aren't you sleeping?"

"How can I sleep when you are so noisy and someone is killed?" Huiyuan glanced at Gao Cheng and continued to say, "that magic, if Mr. Hamano and miss Tanaka were cooperating at the beginning, wouldn't it be very clear?"

"You mean Miss Tanaka is Tuo?" Gao Cheng stares at what he thinks. When he re examines the note paper in his hand, he finds that there are several blank pages on the reverse side, and there are not obvious pen marks.

"Was it a pen that could not be written at that time?"

Gaocheng recalled the situation before, at that time, binye deliberately blindfolded the garden, let the garden to the side to avoid people.

At that time, his attention was on Hamano, but the real thing was Tanaka guijiuhui. He must have switched his pen in the middle of the way.

If that's right, I'm afraid the back of the note given to the garden has been marked in advance

In other words, the magic "failure" is likely to be caused by Tanaka Kui Hui.

Is that beauty the killer?

Gao Cheng scratched his hair.

"What's the matter?" Asked the garden curiously.

"Ah, it's nothing," Gao Cheng said hurriedly. "I'm a little worried about Xiaolan and them. I'd better go up and have a look..."

"Whoa!" Suddenly a burst of glass burst, startled Gao Cheng.

"What's the matter?"

"It's like the glass broke somewhere!"

In the bathroom of the villa, the hot water is still steaming, the ground is full of glass slag, the window is broken, and a crossbow is inserted in the mirror which is opposite.

Gao Cheng looks at the crossbow, and his eyes fall on the broken window.

Everyone is in the villa, that is to say, the archers are from outside, but how can they shoot arrows at the bathroom without people? Scare people“ What's the matter? " Uncle Maori and others ran down the stairs in a hurry. After seeing the situation in the bathroom, their faces changed again and again“ Asshole, what the hell is that guy doing? He not only attacked Miss Tanaka, but also shot arrows at the bathroom“ Attack Miss Tanaka? " Gao Cheng looks at Uncle doubtfully“ Yes, "Xiaolan said with a lingering fear," just now when we accompanied Miss Tanaka back to the room, an arrow came in from the window and almost hit miss Tanaka. "“ Is that right? " Gao Cheng turned to Tanaka guijiuhui, who came later, and said vaguely, "that is to say, the murderer first shot an arrow at Miss Tanaka's room upstairs, and then shot an arrow at the bathroom? Isn't that strange? "“ What's so strange? " Uncle Maori snorted, "I think it must be that guy's hand slipped and shot wrong!"“ Ha ha. "“ Are you kidding?! That guy really pissed me off! " After seeing the bathroom, Tanaka suddenly ran out in anger“ Wait, Miss Tanaka“ It's too dangerous outside! " In the backyard of the villa, kikuhui Tanaka ran out the back door and ran directly to the woods opposite the bathroom. Uncle Maori and his party hurried up“ Miss Tanaka“ Get out of here Tanaka ran to the edge of the woods and yelled, "what's hiding in fear? Get out of here!" Gao Cheng finally walks out of the villa and silently looks at the shouting Tanaka guijiuhui“ What's the matter, detective? " Huiyuan followed and said with a smile, "is it soft hearted because it's a beautiful woman?"“ How is that possible? Be careful, I'll deduct your salary! "“ Hum Huiyuan looks at Gao Cheng and smiles, carrying his little hand to the people at the edge of the forest. The light in the woods is not very good, but you can still see the messy footprints all over the snow. Conan and others are completely attracted by the footprints“ Is there anyone else hiding here? " Xiaolan catches up with Tanaka guijiuhui who accidentally falls: "Miss Tanaka, are you ok?"“ Why? " Tanaka Kui Hui said bitterly, "why do we have such bad luck? Why? "“ Miss Tanaka... "Gao Cheng's eyes have never left kikuhui Tanaka. Although the woman's movements are very secret, he still saw with his own eyes that the other side threw a pocket crossbow to the other side of the snow. It seems that he pulled something from a tree trunk“ What is this Standing under a tree with snow falling, a small hole in the trunk appears in Gao Cheng's view“ Come and have a look Uncle Maori found the crossbow and yelled, "it seems that we can confirm that the murderer is from outside the villa!"“ Isn't that a crossbow? "“ There are many more arrows here Gao Cheng squatted by the tree and looked at it for a while. He stood up and said to Uncle Maori, "it's hard to say that the killer is someone outside."“ What? " Uncle Maori's face sank and he said, "isn't that obvious? When the murderer arched, everyone was in the villa. Now the murderer's weapon is also found here. You can tell me, what's the possibility of the murderer besides being outside? "“ What if it's just someone deliberately using a cover up? " Gao Cheng asked“ "Ah?"“ In a word, it's still uncertain who the killer is, and further investigation is needed. "“ But no matter when Mr. Hamano was killed or just now, we all had an alibi, "Huang Yi said strangely." if the murderer was among us, how did he do it? " Gao Cheng pondered: "it's probably magic. The murderer performed a magic in front of us that is impossible to commit a crime."“ Magic Uncle Maori's forehead smokes: "what are you talking about? Well, I think you just want to face me. " Gao Cheng grinned bitterly: "I think we'd better reconfirm everyone's alibi, and give the crossbow to Uncle before we catch the murderer."
