Conan's I'm really not a model worker in a winery

Chapter 167 Riddles about the stars

"Hey, Kudo, could this be..."

Hattori Heiji seemed to smell the scent of a major case, and the catalog came solemnly to Conan's ear.

However, his voice still seemed a bit loud.

Mao Lilan turned her head sharply: "Kudo?"

"ah?"

Hattori Heiji raised his head and immediately switched his eyes: "Well, I mean, that warehouse... it's very dark! It's very dark!"

Conan quietly wiped away a cold sweat.

Can Hattori be more careful? I almost expose him every time...

Hiroki Sawada pretended not to hear anything.

He felt that this guy named Hattori was really rough, and sometimes he wanted to have his mouth sealed.

Seeing that Uncle Mori hadn't come back yet, Conan and Hattori Heiji proposed to go to the warehouse to have a look.

Hattori Heiji even wanted to win over Hiroki - he had never seen Hiroki's reasoning level in Osaka before, but he finally encountered it this time and had to give it a try.

Hiroki righteously refused this time.

He was even glad that he pretended to be sick and didn't go to Osaka last time... He was actually just writing software at home.

After all, Hiroki is different from Lie's magical brain circuit. Apart from being smart, his other interests and hobbies are relatively normal, and he doesn't like to dig into dead people's places.

"Then take me with you too~ Xiaolan, Xiaoheye, Hiroki please~"

Seeing that Hiroki didn't want to be a follower, Lie took the initiative to take on the task with a smile.

"Then I'll take you there... Misa, just stay in the living room."

Robert offered.

He didn't want Misa to experience bad memories again.

…

The warehouse is diagonally opposite Takeda's main residence.

Robert came here often after getting to know Misa, and he was very familiar with the layout of the Takeda family.

On the way to the warehouse, Conan and Hattori were also paying attention to the layout of the yard...

And Lie put his arm on Robert's shoulder enthusiastically:

"Little Rob~ Do you like photography?"

"Yes... Photography is not only my hobby but also my profession." Robert didn't mind the arm-in-arm gesture and said with a smile, "The photo studio I run is in Misasa Town. If you are interested,

If so, I can take you to have a look after things here are over... How about I give you a 40% discount on taking photos?"

"That's really good~"

Lie smiled and patted him twice, "By the way, do you like stars?"

Robert was slightly stunned: "Eh? Of course..."

"Then let me ask you a riddle related to the stars~" Lie's smile remained unchanged, "'The hour has passed, the dawn returns to its place, the day is peaceful and the dawn is bright, and the embers fall to the ground'...guess an astronomical phenomenon!"

Robert paused and looked at Xiang Lie's pupils, which narrowed slightly.

This person is...

Lie still had that cheerful smile on his face, and didn't seem to think anything was wrong, "How is it? Do you need a reminder?"

Before Robert could react, Conan and Hattori Heiji, who had heard the riddle, had already come up to him with relaxed expressions on their faces:

"Such a simple puzzle doesn't require any hints, right? The answer is 'Meteor', right, Mr. Lin?"

"Bingo~" Lie snapped his fingers, "As expected of Conan and Xiaoping... But it seems that I'm asking about little Robert?"

The fierce smile looks a little bit kind.

At this moment, Robert's expression returned to normal, with a look of confusion on his face: "Well, why is it a shooting star?"

"Because only meteors will fall to the ground." Conan explained in his cute voice, "In fact, the first three sentences all hint at the word 'star' - 'hour' refers to the time people use to identify time.

The sun star, 'Qiming' is another name for Venus... 'Zi'an Danhui' means peace and quiet during the day, and 'hui' also refers to comets, so combined with the last sentence, it means that it can only be seen at night,

The meteor turned into ashes before it hit the ground..."

"Am I right, Uncle Lin?"

Conan said cutely to Lie.

Lie smiled and touched Conan's big head, "That's basically correct, Conan is so awesome~"

"Basically correct? Does Mr. Lin mean that there is any other explanation?" Hattori Heiji asked doubtfully.

"I just missed one star~"

Lie shook his finger, "Conan just missed one star... think about it slowly, I won't say it~"

Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other for a moment, and both began to hold their chins and think.

One star missing? Did they miss it somewhere?

Robert here had a look of surprise on his face and smiled sheepishly, "It turns out to be a shooting star... This kid is really amazing."

"Well~Conan has always been smart."

Lie was very happy and smiled, "Speaking of which, little Rob, were you also at the scene of the crime?"

"Yes... when the maid discovered Mr. Negishi's body, I was the first one who ran over."

Robert's words made the two reasoning madmen who were still deep in thought temporarily put aside the riddle of the stars and pricked up their ears to listen:

"The situation at that time was probably what they said. Mr. Negishi's neck was wrapped with fishing lines, about four or five... and his hands were also wrapped with fishing lines, and there were marks on his hands.

"

"The police also found blood stains belonging to Mr. Negishi on the fishing line hanging on the suspension beam... After comparison, it was confirmed that it should be a small amount of blood flowing out from the strangle marks on his hands..."

Robert had almost finished explaining the situation of the body at that time, and led a few people to the warehouse.

He specially borrowed the key from the maid to unlock the door outside the warehouse.

The environment in the warehouse was different from the chaos they imagined. The built-in items were arranged in an orderly manner around the room, with a large space in the middle for people to move around.

"This place is very clean..."

Hattori Heiji muttered softly.

Robert nodded with some concern: "After all, what happened to Misa's mother, but it took so long to find out, so we had regular cleaning rules later... This is what Misa told me."

After speaking, Robert suddenly looked at Lie.

The latter narrowed his eyes and raised his chin towards him.

Robert nodded slightly when he saw this...

Their actions were not noticed by Conan and Hattori Heiji who were observing the warehouse.

However, this case is somewhat unusual:

There were no fingerprints of anyone other than the deceased on anything at the scene, not even a trace.

But what everyone in Conan can be sure of is that it is definitely not someone other than the Takeda family - it is generally difficult for outsiders to do it without leaving any traces when they are not familiar with the environment.

But how on earth did the prisoner manage to strangle someone to death with such a thin fishing line without leaving any traces on his body?

Both Conan and Hattori Heiji fell into deep thinking...

Later, while searching for clues in the room, they discovered dents on the floor that had been struck by heavy objects.

"...Could it be?!"

——

"Why did Mr. Liao Ping pay a sudden visit?"

Tokyo, Rice Krispies Hotel.

Kudo Yusaku was obviously very surprised by Kamikawa Ryohei's arrival.
