Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 175 Mutual Suspicion
"How is it, any clues?"

"No." Ishikita Yoshiaki said impatiently.

"That's ridiculous, this isn't a movie."

Yasuhiko Hisaji said, shaking his head. He raised his head and continued, "First, if there was a killer among us, he would have noticed it immediately."

When he was about to continue speaking, Yamanami's scream suddenly came from outside the house.

Takagi and others quickly ran towards the sound.

At the door of the room, Yamanami was so scared that she fell to the ground and trembled.

Inside the house, a man in a yukata was lying on the ground. There was a small bloody hole on his neck, exactly the same as how Takaomi Masashi died before.

His face was exactly that of Zhisong Zhinan.

So the person they saw in the hall just now was Caspian in disguise?

When other people arrived, they looked at Zhisong Zhinan lying on the ground with shocked expressions, some of them could not believe what was happening before their eyes.

"Why is Mr. Zhisong here?"

"This is impossible."

"Where is Doctor Zhimatsu?" Qing Haichuan looked at them.

Yasuhiko felt something was wrong and pointed at the person on the ground and said, "Dr. Jimatsu's words are right there, aren't they?"

"Not that one. I'm asking about the doctor who was in the hall just now."

However, when they ran to the hall, they found that the fake Dr. Zhisong had disappeared without a trace.

The retro wall clock made a "dong" sound, and everyone was gathered here.

There was no sign of anyone leaving the hotel, which meant that Caspian had disguised himself as another person among the remaining four.

Takagi looked at the four people seriously and said, "Anyway, please tell me your alibis. Where was everyone after the party?"

"Hot spring, with An Yan."

"is that true?"

Yasuhiko nodded, "That's right."

"Dr. Matsumae, what about you?"

"Rest in your room."

"Where's Dr. Tanao?"

“Walk in the courtyard.”

Walking outside so late at night would naturally arouse suspicion.

But if the reason is that he drank too much and wanted to enjoy the night breeze to sober himself up, it seems to be reasonable.

"That is to say, Dr. Matsumae and Dr. Tanao are the ones who cannot prove their alibi."

"Um, Mr. Policeman."

"What?" Takagi looked at her.

"That Caspian can disguise himself as anyone, right? If so, wouldn't it be meaningless to ask for an alibi?"

That makes sense.

Gao Mu immediately sat down, stroking his chin in thought.

"Mr. Policeman, why are you targeting us?"

Ishikita Yoshiaki said with some dissatisfaction: "We work every day with the mission of saving lives. We are thanked by others, not resented."

"But, because this is a job that deals with human lives, isn't it common for resentment to be planted unknowingly?"

Just as Qing Haichuan finished speaking, his cell phone rang. It was a song with a strange tune that sounded a bit creepy.

"Eh?" Qing Haichuan was slightly surprised.

"what happened?"

"It's from the police station. The only suspension bridge leading to this hotel has been burned down, and the backup searchers can't get here right away."

Except for the telephone lines not being cut, it is very close to the Snowstorm Villa model.

It seems that Caspian is planning to trap them here.

After listening to this, Natsumi Matsumae showed a trace of worry and fear on her face: "In other words, will there be another murder?"

Everyone was silent
As time passed, Takagi and Ya Jiusheng couldn't help feeling sleepy.

Do I have to stay in the hall and wait for death?
Yasuhiko finally couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table and stood up: "Teacher, go back to your room. It's not a good idea to stay here all night."

"I understand."

Gao Mu stood up and said, "Be sure to lock the door when you return to your room, and never go out alone."

Finally, only Takagi, Yokukatsu, and Harumigawa were left in the hall.

The ticking of the hour hand was like a hypnotic spell, making people drowsy.

Gao Mu couldn't help but yawn.

Just then, the lights suddenly went out.

Could it be that there was a power outage?
"what--"

A woman's scream was heard immediately afterwards.

This voice is Matsumae Natsumi!
The three people who were in the room also heard the noise and came out to find out what was going on.

Tanao Motomoto groped in the darkness, moving forward, calling Matsumae Natsumi's name softly.

Just then, one of them put his arm around his shoulder and patted him.

Tanao Motomoto was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and turned his head away mechanically.

After barely seeing the man's outline, Tanomoto could not help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "What are you doing? You scared me."

The other party didn't say anything, but just raised the awl, as if wanting to stab him.

Tanomoto was shocked: "Could it be that you are..."

However, he had no time to escape as the awl in the opponent's hand pierced his medulla oblongata cleanly and efficiently.

When the lights in the hotel came back on, Takagi finally found Natsumi Matsumae slumped on the ground by the stairs.

"Doctor Matsumae, are you okay?" he hurried forward and asked.

"I'm sorry." Matsumae Natsumi explained, "I wanted to go to the bathroom. I didn't expect the power to go out suddenly, which scared me."

"So, he wasn't attacked by Caspian?"

"No, I'm really sorry."

After Matsumae Natsumi finished speaking, she slowly stood up, holding onto the wall.

At this time, Qing Haichuan came up from downstairs, holding something in his hand. He came to Gao Mu and said, "I found this near the main switch."

This is a timing device.

When the time is up, just pull the main switch, which is very clever.

"what--"

Another scream was heard, this time it was the voice of the proprietress, Yamanami.

What happened this time?
When everyone arrived, they saw Yamanami sitting on the ground, with a man in a white shirt lying in front of her. It was Tano Motomoto.

Yasuhiko Hisaji pointed at Tano Motomoto's body and was so shocked that he was speechless.

When everyone was gathered in the hall again, the expressions on their faces were very heavy.

People were killed one after another. Is it possible that Caspian’s target is everyone?
Want to stage a drama where no one survives?

"The boss lady."

"Yes."

"Why are you there?"

Yamanami paused and explained, "The power went out, so I went to get a flashlight. Then I heard the sound."

Not long after, when the lights came on, she saw Tano Motomoto lying on the ground.

"It seems that Caspian is among us. This is an undeniable fact."

After hearing what Ishikita Yoshiaki said, whether out of nervousness or something else, Yasuhiko Hisaji took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and immediately fumbled for a lighter.

"An Yan, didn't you quit smoking?"

After taking out his lighter, Yasuhiko Hisaji paused and explained, "I recently started smoking again."

Just as he was about to light the cigarette, he suddenly stopped.

He took off the cigarette from his mouth and looked at Ishikita Yoshiaki, a little incredulous: "Are you doubting me?"

Ishikita Yoshiaki didn't say anything, but just looked at him as an answer.

"You are the professor."

Yasuhisa Yasuhisa held his waist and said, "You said your waist was not good, how is it now? You are much healthier now than you were ten years ago."

"Stop talking!" Matsumae Natsumi interrupted her impatiently.

"Matsumae, you are actually the coyote, right?"

"how is this possible?"

It was originally a harmonious reunion after five years.

At this moment, the people at the table were suspicious of each other and wary of the people around them, fearing that their lives would be lost in the next moment.

"Come on, drink it if you don't mind."

Yamanami seemed to have recovered from the shock and brought them a few cups of black tea.

"Thank you."

After Qing Haichuan took it, he picked up the glass jar with "sugar" written on it from the tray and added a large spoonful of it into the cup.

Suddenly, his expression became somewhat painful.

"Toxic, poisonous"

Harumikawa looked up at Yamanami and said, "Boss lady, you are Satomi, right?"

After saying that, he immediately fell to the ground.

Ishikita Yoshiaki and others couldn't help but lean back when they saw this scene, while Matsumae Natsumi covered her mouth and screamed.

"What stupid shit are you talking about?"

Yamanami panicked for a moment and picked up the glass jar from the table. In order to prove her innocence, she dipped her hand in a little, tasted it, and made a painful expression.

I feel like I'm about to shrink into a bitter gourd face.

“So salty—”

After putting the glass jar down, Yamanami smiled apologetically and said, "I put the wrong sugar and salt in. I'm so sorry."

Qing Haichuan sat up from the ground and cleaned up the water stains in front of him because he had knocked over the cup before.

"I can not stand it any more!"

Yasuhiko became very mad, ruffled his hair, pointed at them and said, "Don't trust anyone!"

After saying that, he immediately stood up from the ground and ran out of the door.

After finishing the last sip of tea, Yamanami put the cups back on the tray.

"Well, excuse me, then."

After he left, Matsumae Natsumi said, "I'll go back to my room first."

"Me too." Having said that, Ishikita Yoshiaki also stood up.

"But, everyone..."

When Takagi was about to say something, Ishikita Yoshiaki stretched out his hand, interrupted him, and smiled: "It's okay. This time I will lock the door and not let anyone in."

When Matsumae Natsumi and Ishikita Yoshiaki arrived near the room, they separated.

"Well, Matsumae, be careful."

After saying this, when Ishikita Yoshiaki turned around and was about to leave, Matsumae Natsumi called him.

I looked at him and said, "Professor, can I go to your room?"

"Eh?"

It is doubt and confusion.

“In fact, I feel uneasy when I’m alone.”

A man's desire to protect will never go out of style no matter how long it lasts.

Especially when a woman has a beautiful face and is willing to show her fragility, she will win their hearts.

"Matsumae, aren't you afraid?"

Inside the room, Ishikita Yoshiaki took out some tea leaves, ready to entertain the other party, and said with a smile: "Maybe I am Li Hai."

After laughing a few times, he continued, "It's just a joke."

"I know."

Ishikita Yoshiaki paused.

"Professor, you can't be Caspian."

Ishikita Yoshiaki looked at her.

"Because of Caspian"

Tang's personality is indeed not one that will show weakness easily. So, the desire to protect?
Tang: It’s okay, I will protect you.
