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

Chapter 663 Masked Night of Bloodshed

Although Conan didn't understand what Lie meant by "step by step", he had to admit that what Lie said was reasonable.

After all, their current guess that the person who sent the threatening letter had the intention to kill is just a conspiracy theory without evidence...

Just kidding, I haven't used the knife yet, where's the evidence?

If the person with the intention is caught now, even if there is clear evidence to prove that those letters were written by that person, the other party can completely argue that it was just his own prank, and at most he will be fined a small amount for obstructing road traffic.

, not even attempted murder.

And based on Lie's inspection of the mansion, he found that there were too many things in the house that could be used as murder weapons, such as the ax held by the knight's armor in the hall on the first floor - it was sharpened;

There are also other accessories in the mask exhibition hall, including but not limited to nails, knives, swords, hammers, hooks...

I don’t know how Su Fanghongzi slept peacefully in this dangerous house.

…

Since it was getting late when they arrived, after visiting the mask hall, they were invited by Su Fanghongzi to have dinner together.

This sumptuous dinner pleased everyone.

At the dinner table, chatting is inevitable after the meal:

The protagonist in the chat was naturally Su Fanghongzi, and the main discussion was about Su Fanghongzi's involvement in the charity industry.

The main recipients of Su Fang Hongzi's financial aid are orphans who lost their families due to car accidents, such as Aikawa Touya; and the reason why the other party made such a choice was that one of her servants had an accident about twenty years ago.

A hit-and-run incident.

And that maid later committed suicide...and the maid was actually Aikawa Touya's mother.

Just when everyone was sighing at Su Fanghongzi's compassion, no one noticed that both Conan and Retsu were looking at Aikawa Touya with suspicion.

When Masaki Katagiri expressed that he would fully support the party and revealed that his wife also died twenty years ago...

Suspicious eyes were focused more on him.

After dinner, Su Fanghongzi specially called Mouri Kogoro away, probably because of some commission, and the others were taken to the lounge for entertainment activities.

Some were playing cards, some were playing billiards, some were drinking and bragging...it was all a joy.

After a while, Mouri Kogoro came over and joined in the drinking and bragging. On the surface, it was completely impossible to tell what Su Fanghongzi said to him.

However, Lie and Conan didn't care much about this.

What they care about is...

"Mr. Lin, who do you think is the prisoner?"

"Hey~ This is a serious question, but at the moment they are the most suspicious~"

Lie and Conan squatted in the corner, their eyes constantly wandering between Aikawa Touya and Katagiri Masaki.

Generally speaking, the murder cases they encounter are either love killings or vendettas... Judging from the element of 'car accident', if someone really dies today, vendetta is most likely.

Thinking of this, Conan felt a little sad:

When did he develop the bad habit of reasoning about who the murderer is before a crime occurs?

So weird!

"By the way~ Where do they two live?"

Lie suddenly asked.

"Mr. Aikawa lives on the first floor on the east side, and Mr. Katagiri lives on the second floor with us on the west side." Conan replied without thinking.

"Yeah~ Sister Su Fang's room is on the third floor on the west side." Lie nodded, "I understand~ That means that whoever wants to commit a crime will definitely pass by the stairs on the second floor~ right?"

Conan's eyes twitched: "Mr. Lin, do you mean..."

Lie snapped his fingers and said with a smile on his face, "I think we can each guard one side of the stairs at night. What do you think?"

"... Putting aside the issue of rest, have you forgotten the rules of other people's homes?" Conan said with a dead eye, "According to the regulations, those of us who live in the rooms on the east side can only go after the curfew at night.

Can I stay in the room on the east side?"

"...Eh? What's there~?"

Lie blinked his eyes.

At this moment, the clock was ten minutes to midnight, and the maid began to ask everyone to go back to their rooms.

After twelve o'clock, the Mask Hall will be locked, which means that the passages on the east and west sides are completely closed.

As for the reason, they were worried that those Xiao Bol masks inside would be naughty and come out...but everyone thought this was nonsense.

In the end, Lie's plan of watching the stairs alone failed to be implemented - mainly because all the lights in the villa were turned off and none of them were turned on.

As a lover of light and heat, Lie was very uncomfortable with this environment. He decisively went into the room and turned on all the lights, trying to get some psychological warmth...

He also grabbed Conan by the way.

Originally, Lie was thinking about keeping vigil with Conan, but as a result, they squatted on the bed and sat for a while, and soon fell asleep until they were unconscious.

The two of them were woken up by the phone ringing in the next room.

——Dingling, ringing, ringing~

——Dingling, ringing, ringing~

--jingle……

Lie opened his eyes, and his vision was still a little cloudy. He rubbed his messy hair and threw Conan off the bed: "Conan~ There is a phone next door..."

Conan, who had also just woken up, was forced to grab the ground with his face and fell hard before he could react.

Before Conan could accuse Lie, the ringtone next door suddenly stopped.

I think he was picked up by Kogoro Mori or Xiaolan.

Lie Neng vaguely heard the voices next door.

However, the next second, the voice next door suddenly rose in pitch: "What? Hello! Who are you?!"

Mouri Kogoro's loud voice immediately attracted the attention of Conan and Retsu.

Conan immediately realized that something had happened, immediately got up from the ground and ran out of the room.

Lie also got out of bed immediately, but he was not as impatient as Conan. Instead, he first used his "aura" to observe the mansion.

"...No blood?" Lie was a little surprised.

It’s incredible that the prisoner hasn’t taken action yet?

While in trance, Retsu heard Kogoro Mouri shouting outside, asking Ran and Conan to call Kasaho Nami to come up with the key.

Suddenly, Lie seemed to sense something and suddenly raised his head with a strange look on his face...

But after thinking for a moment, he walked out of the room to join Conan and the others.

Xiaolan and Conan also moved very quickly. In less than a minute, they grabbed the little maid who was still wearing pajamas and opened the door of the mask hall.

"Gone?! How is that possible!"

Lie followed behind, heard Mouri Kogoro's shout, and walked in confused, "What? What's missing~?"

"Mask!" Mouri Kogoro looked unhappy, "Xiao Buer's masks have all disappeared!"

Only then did Lie realize belatedly that the display shelves on both sides were empty.

He raised his eyebrows and wanted to ask Mouri what the call Kogoro said when he heard a scream coming from upstairs.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of things scattering...

Conan's expression changed: "Upstairs...is Ms. Su Fang's room!"

"Hey, what are you arguing about in the middle of the night?" Touya Aikawa, who was sleeping next to Shimogasa Honami, was probably also woken up. He rubbed his eyes and came up to complain, and he was no exception frightened by these disappearing masks.

One jump.

However, neither Conan nor Mouri Kogoro had any time to pay attention to him now, and Sayazi planned to rush upstairs.

And Shimogasa Honami reacted quickly and stopped them quickly: "Well, Teacher Su Fang's room is on the west side, and you can't get in from here... I'll call Minami right away to get up."

Lie stood silently watching the farce, the darkness hiding the interesting expression on his face, and his eyes were always fixed on one person.

Only now did he feel the blood...

The murderer did not kill anyone until they entered the Mask Hall, which is very bold.

The door on the west side was quickly opened. Mouri Kogoro and Conan were the first to bear the brunt. They rushed to the third floor and knocked hard on Su Fang Hongzi's bedroom door: "Ms. Su Fang! Are you okay? Hello!"

Lie followed closely and went upstairs. When he saw Conan and the others being blocked by the door, his eyes gradually brightened. He touched the wire in his pocket and was eager to try: "What about that? Do you want me to help open the door?"

Conan and Mouri Kogoro were both stunned.

Shimogasa Honami lowered her voice: "Master Lie, there is a lock on Teacher Su Fang's door. Just opening it from the outside is useless..."

strong:"……"

Hey, he still wants to show off his talents!

"Well, Mr. Lin, you have a way..." Conan turned his head.

Before he finished speaking, Lie had already walked to the door and motioned for Mouri Kogoro to get out of the way.

Under the gaze of everyone attracted by their agitation, he kicked the heavy wooden door open - most of the door panels were weakly tilted toward the inside, but the padlock part was still on the door frame.

I have to say, the quality of this door is outstanding.

The barrier was violently broken, and the corridor light was able to illuminate the bedroom.

What appeared in front of everyone were the Xiao Bol masks scattered on the ground, and...

The cold body of Su Fanghongzi.
