But when they saw his appearance, everyone was surprised.

"Ah! Boss, you..."

Hiroyuki Kanaya waved his hand to stop Iwai Hitomi from speaking. He covered his forehead with his right hand, and the dried blood left several hideous scars on his face.

At this moment, Kanaya Hiroyuki, who had long lost his usual gentle and approachable aura, glanced at everyone present and said in a cold voice: "Someone stole the original version!"

"That person is among you!"

"what?"

"How can it be?!"

"The first version was..."

Everyone was whispering. Jin Gu Yuzhi snorted and slammed the table.

"Whoever did the best, stand up now!"

He shouted loudly, with a terrifying expression, "If you don't hand over this book, you will never leave this house alive."

"Hey, hey, um..." Maori Kogoro tried to persuade him, but was glared back by Kanaya Hiroyuki.

"Just a lucky detective who solved a few cases by chance, sleeping Kogoro?"

"Humph, who knows what kind of gimmick this is. I'm afraid some shady guy solved the case while you were sleeping."

"you……!"

Kogoro Mori was a little stunned because he didn't expect that Kanaya Yu's attitude before and after was so different.

Lingchuan didn't expect that he had misjudged him. The true face of this guy with a righteous face turned out to be like this.

But he did not suddenly show up at this time.

Conan was so frightened that he dared not speak any more.

Because of what Kanaya Hiroyuki said, we can basically guess what happened when Kogoro Mori solved the case.

His behavior in this place today was indeed a bit careless. From any perspective, it was not the behavior that a first-grade student should have.

What Oki Ayako said just now, combined with what Kanaya Hiroyuki said now, was a double reminder that Conan had already shrunk into a quail.

At this time, everyone saw that Kogoro Mori had not gotten anything good either, so they stopped talking.

They stood silently in the living room, allowing Kanaya Hiroyuki to look at them at will.

"The thief hiding among you, I give you until seven this morning to return the book to me, otherwise..."

Kanaya Hiroyuki narrowed his eyes and looked at Iwai Hitomi, "Come here and apply the medicine."

Leaving behind the threatening words, Kanaya Hiroyuki took Hitomi and left the living room.

The rest of the people still didn't dare to make too much noise.

The tense atmosphere at the scene continued until Kento Toba suddenly opened the door and rushed in from outside.

"I'm sorry," Toba Kento, who was walking slowly towards him, apologized without any sincerity, "I just happened to be out for something. Am I not late?"

Chapter 119 Corpse

"Kento!" Ooki Ayako came over and took Toba Kento's arm. "Where have you been?"

"I didn't do anything. I just felt a little bored so I went out for a walk." Toba Kento lowered his head indifferently. "When the waitress called me just now, I heard it, but when I came out, no one was there yet, so I went out for a walk."

Hattori Heiji suddenly noticed a detail. He glanced at Toba Kento but said nothing.

Maori Kogoro, on the other hand, was more innocent. When he saw Toba Kento coming back from outside, he asked directly, "You were the one who took the original version that the innkeeper lost, weren't you?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over.

"What first edition?"

"Don't be so pretentious. The innkeeper brought us together because the first edition of Sherlock Holmes that he used as a prize was stolen, and the innkeeper was also hit on the head."

Maori Kogoro's beard twitched, and the more he talked, the more he felt that it made sense, "Maybe that person is you!"

"That's why you weren't in the living room just now. I think your excuse for feeling bored and going out for a walk should be correct?"

"It's all to hide the original version!"

Toba Kento was stunned for two seconds, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha——"

"Is this the power of the sleeping Kogoro?"

Just as Maori Kogoro was about to raise his head in triumph, he heard Toba Kento say,

“That’s too different.”

Toba Kento spread his hands and said, "It's true that I went out, but I just took a walk around the garage."

"If that's the reason you say I took the first edition, where's the evidence?"

Kento Toba pointed at the surveillance camera in the corner of the living room and said, "The scene of me going to the garage should have been captured by the surveillance camera. If you don't believe me, you can ask the hotel owner to check the surveillance camera."

"I went to the garage and just smoked a cigarette at the door. It's ridiculous to suspect me of the murderer just because of this."

Maori Kogoro frowned, as if he didn't want to let Toba Kento go. "If it's true as you said, why did you have to go to the garage to smoke?"

"I've already told you that I feel stuffy here. What's wrong with going out for a walk?"

Kento Toba fought back without flinching.

Choked by his self-righteous attitude, Kogoro Mori didn't know what to say.

He had a hunch that there was something fishy about Hu Ye Yanren. This time, unlike previous cases where he had no clue, he made a haphazard conclusion based on just a few sentences.

This time, Kogoro Mori was very sensitive to the fact that something was wrong with Kento Toba.

Perhaps because they just met, Kento Toba didn't care much about him and even looked down on him, which made Kogoro Mori pay special attention to Kento Toba.

But as Kento Toba said, he has no evidence to prove that he was the one who took the first version.

At this time, the others who had been silent all the time began to speak, starting with the astrologer:

"That seems to be the case. Do you feel a little hot or stuffy in your chest?"

“It seems so…” Nanako Shimizu, who had been looking gloomy and dead-eyed, nodded, “I felt it when I entered the living room just now.”

Kawazu Ikuo also nodded, "That's right, but I didn't care at first, but now this feeling is becoming more and more obvious."

Seeing everyone saying this, Kento Toba became even more proud, "How about it, Great Detective Maori? Do you have any questions?"

Looking at Kento Toba's arrogant appearance, Kogoro Mori was so choked that he was speechless.

Hattori Heiji and Conan watched silently without interrupting.

Lingchuan cared even less about this matter.

He didn't take Kanaya Hiroyuki's threat seriously. What did he mean by "you can't leave alive if you don't hand over the first version"?

It's just a scare tactic.

But no matter how little he cared about this matter, given his current status, he couldn't be completely indifferent.

And he has prepared a surprise for Conan on this trip.

The thing in the original version... should be a necessary arrangement for Zhan Tang Youshi to complete the task?

Thinking of this, Lingchuan glanced at Zhan Tang You Shi calmly.

After Hattori Heiji came closer, he quietly withdrew his gaze.

"Did you find it?"

"Yeah." Lingchuan nodded.

Hattori Heiji was not surprised at all. Although Lingchuan did not admit that he was the famous detective who died two years ago, this did not prevent him from consciously looking for Lingchuan to review the situation when he encountered the situation now.

It's better to be with Lingchuan than with Maori Kogoro, right?

"Earlier, Ooki Ayako said that she saw the waiter knocking on Toba Kento's door with her own eyes, so she didn't go to find Toba Kento."

Lingchuan knew what Hattori meant. He thought about it and finally spoke, "But when Toba Kento came back just now, he said that there was no one in the living room when he came out."

"According to Oki Ayako's statement, there was at least one person in the living room at the time, and that person was Oki Ayako. One of them lied."

"Yes."

Hattori Heiji nodded, "And Ooki Ayako's mood was also very strange just now. They are hiding something."

"But he also accurately mentioned the surveillance..."

This made Hattori Heiji very confused.

Is Kento Toba confident that he can accomplish what he wants under surveillance?

Lingchuan did not respond to this.

While he was whispering with Hattori, he did not ignore what was happening on Conan's side.

As if noticing his gaze, Conan glanced over here in confusion.

When his eyes met Conan's, Lingchuan's eyes flashed and he moved his lips.

Conan understood and nodded slightly.

Then it was Conan's turn to perform. He first pretended to hold his stomach in pain, "Ouch~"

The child's movements are particularly noticeable in such an atmosphere.

"What's wrong Conan?"

Mao Lilan came over worriedly, "Do you have a stomachache?"

"Sister Xiaolan, I think I have a stomachache..." Conan said as he tried to look pitiful. His acting skills were not very good, but Maori Ran didn't notice.

"What should we do? There is a medical kit here or..."

"No need, Sister Xiaolan, I, I want to go to the bathroom."

As if it was difficult to say, Conan's voice became softer as he spoke.

But Mao Lilan didn't care about that. She nervously held Conan's hand and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. If you're not getting better, we'd better go down the mountain and go to the hospital."

"Ok!"
