The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

As long as he ensured that he was with other people during the time when Yotsuki Reika died, it would be equivalent to having an alibi!

Then find another opportunity to retrieve the body and stage the scene.

The room that Takashi Kazue chose for the crime was the one where he had previously broken the light switch, so that even if someone accidentally walked by and found the light was broken, they wouldn't accidentally break in.

After confirming that everything was correct, he went back downstairs and joined in the card game and conversation with a smile.

After playing cards for several hours, it was discovered that the Four Wells Flower still hadn't appeared.

A few sycophants, worried that something might have happened to Miss Lihua, went to look for her, but after searching the entire villa, they couldn't find her anywhere.

Lin Zhiren, who had been keeping a close watch, chuckled. "There's a mole among you!"

Ichiji Takashi volunteered to check the bathroom and, looking at Yotsuhiko Reika in the bathtub, said there was no one inside.

Since there was nothing in the villa, everyone wondered if the young lady had gone outside to the woods to clear her head.

Looking at the dark, shadowy forest outside, Naoto Hayashi admired the thought processes of these people.

That young lady is just arrogant and willful, but she's not insane. Running alone in the woods in the middle of the night is normal human behavior.

It was Ichiro who proposed this possibility.

The others thought that Ichiji was just showing off, and although they disagreed, they could only follow suit and reluctantly went into the woods to search.

While they were searching separately, Ichiji led Nikaido back to the fountain in front of the villa and, taking him by surprise, pushed him into the fountain and drowned him!

Looking at the corpse in the water, Ichiro trembled slightly and murmured, "Yaeko, don't worry, I'll be able to send the other murderer to you soon."

Oh ho, is it still for revenge?

Naoto Hayashi, who was watching the show through the little dragonfly, was somewhat surprised.

A group of people returned empty-handed from the woods, only to find Nikaido's body in front of the fountain!

Xiao Lan screamed.

Naoto Hayashi then followed Kogoro Mouri and absorbed the other's soul.

Hmm, this time the flavor is watermelon, sweet, crunchy, refreshing, and juicy.

Keep it safe.

Chapter 73 Conan! Conan, don't die!

Someone died.

Another one, Yoshii Reika, has also gone missing.

This situation made the remaining people feel insecure, so they decided to call the police immediately.

Unfortunately, the telephone lines inside the villa had been cut, and there was no signal on the mobile phone.

In other words, Xingyu was trapped in this mountain villa.

Left with no other choice, everyone returned to the villa's main hall to discuss countermeasures, while Xiaolan and the villa's butler went to make coffee.

The coffee was served quickly, and everyone took one. When Lin Zhiren saw that Xiaolan had chosen one of the cups, he immediately raised an eyebrow.

His little spider had just seen that Ichiro secretly put two pills into a cup of coffee, which were now in Ran's hands.

It was sleeping pills; Naoto Hayashi saw the name on the bottle.

But what does he mean by that?

Does he intend to do something inappropriate to Xiaolan?

Xiaolan drank a few sips of coffee and then felt drowsy.

Kogoro Mouri wanted to start searching for the villa immediately, but when he noticed his daughter was sleepy, he frowned.

It's not safe in this villa right now, everyone's drinking coffee and trying to stay up until dawn, but my daughter is sleepy?

Lin Zhiren noticed Kogoro's worry and said, "Teacher, Ran is probably too tired. Let her sleep for a while. I'll stay here and take care of her."

Kogoro immediately felt relieved and nodded, saying, "Then I'll trouble you."

Xiaolan lay down on the sofa in the living room and fell into a deep sleep in a short while.

Naoto Hayashi sat down to the side and picked up a magazine to pass the time.

Yizhi Longren is numb.

He put sleeping pills in coffee so that he could randomly knock someone out and then push that person into the sink, creating the false impression that "the murderer killed by drowning."

As a result, although this high school girl has been infected, there is a young man guarding her.

This left him completely at a loss!

Since that's the case...

Takashi Ichigo's gaze swept over the remaining people, finally settling on Conan, the elementary school student.

“I’m sorry, kid…” A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Ichiji Takashi’s face.

Conan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if there was something malicious about him!

He suddenly turned his head, only to find that no one was looking at him.

"Is that an illusion?"

Apart from Naoto Hayashi and Ran, the others started searching the villa again, but after searching back and forth for a long time, they still couldn't find the missing Reika Yotsuji.

Suddenly the power to the villa tripped, and the lights went out instantly.

The sudden darkness left everyone bewildered, and no one knew who had started running; the footsteps were chaotic.

However, someone quickly found the power switch on the first floor, restored the power supply, and the lights came back on.

"What's going on?!" Kogoro shouted.

Ichiro pointed out the window, somewhat nervously, and said, "It looks like there's someone outside..."

"Damn it!" Kogoro cursed. "It must be the murderer!"

He pushed open the window, jumped out, and chased after him.

Everyone else followed suit.

With Conan following behind, I have a feeling that something was off about the power outage just now.

If it was really the work of the murderer, what effect could it have had in the short time he pulled the switch?

Could it be...?

Just then, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered Conan's mouth!

Conan was shocked and struggled desperately, but the person behind him easily lifted him up and ran towards the fountain in front of the villa!

"Oh no!" Conan couldn't use any of his equipment and couldn't even make a sound. He felt like he was doomed!

Pfft!

The man arrived at the fountain and forcefully shoved Conan's head into the water.

A series of bubbles rose up, and Conan struggled and waved his arms and legs, but only managed to splash some water.

Water spurted into Conan's nose and lungs, causing an intense feeling of suffocation followed by a burning pain, and Conan's consciousness gradually became blurred.

"I'm...I'm going to die..."

Just then, Naoto Hayashi's voice came from the villa: "Who's there?!"

The person behind Conan was startled, immediately dropped Conan, turned around and ran away quickly.

Naoto Hayashi ran out of the villa and saw Conan struggling in the fountain. He was immediately "shocked" and rushed over to pull him out and lay him flat on the ground.

"Conan! Conan, don't die!"

Conan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of water, coughing violently and weakly saying, "Stop shouting... You won't die..."

Lin Zhiren asked with concern, "Who did it?"

Conan got up, vomited a few more times, and then said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't see it, but... it must be one of the people in the villa."

Lin Zhiren picked him up and said solemnly, "It's too dangerous. Let's go back to the living room first."

Conan survived by the skin of his teeth, and it feels like he really owes it all to Naoto Hayashi; otherwise, he would have been dead for sure.

"Thank you so much for saving my life. I will remember it forever," Conan said weakly.

Naoto Hayashi's lips curled up, and he almost burst out laughing.

The murderer originally intended to kill Xiaolan, who had taken sleeping pills.

Unfortunately, he stayed by Ran's side the whole time, making it impossible for the murderer to make a move. In the end, he could only choose Conan, the child with the lowest fighting ability.

Even if Naoto Hayashi hadn't appeared, Conan wouldn't have died. The other party didn't want to kill him; they just wanted to fabricate a common method of murder.

So, this time Conan is suffering in Ran's place.

It's okay. You two are childhood friends. What's wrong with Conan taking the blame for Ran? It's perfectly normal.

It has absolutely nothing to do with me.

Naoto Hayashi brought Conan back to the villa's living room and placed him on the sofa next to Ran.

Conan, looking at Ran who was still unconscious, finally realized something was wrong: "Ran, she..."

Naoto Hayashi nodded: "It seems to be sleeping pills."

Conan was immediately shocked: "The murderer's original target was Ran? Damn it!"

Lin Zhiren glanced at him sideways: "You're already like this, and you're still worried about Xiaolan? Take care of yourself first."

Conan thanked her again earnestly: "Thank you for staying by Ran's side, preventing the culprit from taking advantage of the situation. Otherwise, otherwise..."

He thought of the image of Xiaolan being unable to resist due to the sleeping pills and ultimately being drowned by the murderer, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

At this time, the people who went out to search returned to the villa one after another. They were all shocked to find that Conan had almost been drowned.

In their view, this killer was a ruthless shark who killed even unrelated children, and was extremely cruel!

Conan was already suffering from a cold, and now he had swallowed a lot of water, making his cold even worse. He felt dizzy and his mind wasn't working properly.

He simply didn't have the energy to find the killer, so he could only hope that Naoto Hayashi and Kogoro Mouri would be able to help.

Unfortunately, Kogoro was also at a loss.

The killer completely outmaneuvered them and left no clues.

Time quickly passed to 5 a.m.

Yotsuki Reika, who was placed in the bathhouse, drowned.

After waiting another hour, the murderer, Takashi Ichiji, prepared to act. If he could pull the person out now and make it look like he had been drowned, he could create the illusion that "the murderer drowned the person an hour ago."

perfect!

"I need to use the restroom," Takashi Ichie said casually, and hurriedly left.

After he left, Naoto Hayashi whispered to Kogoro, "Teacher, he went out alone, and he might be targeted by the murderer... Let's follow him quietly, maybe we can catch the murderer!"

Kogoro's eyes lit up; he immediately realized this plan was brilliant.

There are other people in the living room, so there's no need to worry about Ran and Conan's safety.

The two immediately tiptoed after Yizhilong.

They soon arrived at a dimly lit second floor.

Kogoro Mouri was puzzled. Why would they come to the dark second floor when there was a well-lit toilet?

Naoto Hayashi pointed to a room, and as the two approached, they heard the sound of water splashing and tape being torn inside.

"Water?!" Kogoro was startled, immediately turned on his flashlight, kicked open the door, and rushed inside!

Under the light, one could see Takashi Ichigo holding the body of Reika Yotsuji and tearing off the remaining tape from her body.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Yizhi Long remained with his head turned away, staring in disbelief, like a clay sculpture.
