"It seems that the boss is in poor health and needs to rest. He is the only one who can contact us. We can't contact him."

Conan frowned. Why did he feel that Connor was lying?

Just at this moment, a short and rapid shout suddenly came from the first floor.

Before Nakamori Ginzo could react, the three young detectives turned around and ran downstairs.

"what's the situation?"

Ginzo Nakamori, who was a step slower, looked at Conan and the other two who were blocking the stairs and asked in confusion.

"Another victim..." The only old man among the detectives - Chima Nozomi walked slowly past Conan with a cane.

She glanced at the extra corpse at the entrance and sighed, "One has to accept aging..."

Compared to her calmness and Nakamori Ginzo's scratching his head, Conan was filled with disbelief.

He happened to know this person, Jiro Takizawa, a politician.

He had a good impression of her because she often appeared on TV.

And this person was someone Connor had glanced at in the list that he had just handed to Ginzo Nakamori.

Jiro Takizawa, who was registered at room 218, not only did not enter the room alone, but also, according to the location of room 218, even if his body fell after death, he would definitely not be able to appear here!

Chapter 145 Don't come over! (Happy New Year's Eve~)

"Someone killed him and dumped his body here!" Hattori Heiji said firmly.

He was standing closest to Conan just now, so he naturally saw what Conan saw.

Although Hakuba Tan and others did not see Takizawa Jiro's specific room in the documents, they knew Hattori Heiji.

The detective world is actually very small, and everyone has heard of the more famous detectives, so Hakuba and the others would hardly question Hattori Heiji's statement.

Even if they had some complaints, they all had no doubts after Hattori Heiji told them Takizawa Jiro's room number and exact location.

"Room 218 is located on the other side of the corridor," Hattori said while gesturing. "Assuming that the murderer threw the deceased downstairs after his death, according to the layout of the room, Jiro Takizawa's body would only appear in a position completely opposite to the door."

"That is to say, under normal circumstances, Takizawa Jiro's body should be behind this building."

Hattori lowered his head, walked around the body twice and said, "But the fact that Takizawa Jiro's body appeared here can only mean that he was deliberately left here."

"But there are no signs of movement around the body..." Conan added:

"How is this done?"

"Is there any secret room or secret passage?" Qiangtian Yumei muttered to herself. She pointed outside the hall and said, "I think you have seen the layout here."

"If there is a secret passage or something special in the yard, it is entirely possible that the murderer has moved the body to the front door when we go up to the second floor."

"That's what I said," Da Shang Zhu Shan chewed something and shook his head, "but how did the murderer get in and out of the second floor?"

"Even if the body was moved through a secret passage, the murderer would need to enter the room on the second floor to commit the crime, right?"

"We were all on the second floor just now, and all the waiters guarding the door were called together by this officer."

"The special situation on the second floor, whether anyone enters or leaves the corridor is obvious to all."

As Okami Zhushan was analyzing the situation, Kawai Ayako said with a pale face and a trembling voice, "Could it be... a ghost..."

On the second floor, which is inaccessible, there is an unexpected corpse.

If it wasn't a ghost, who could have done it?

-

"Damn it, I didn't even get selected in the first round of bidding?" In room 203 on the second floor, a fierce-looking man slammed the table angrily.

He had offered 100 million US dollars in the previous auction and thought he had a sure win, but he didn't expect that he didn't even make it into the top three.

He had just received the total quotation sheet brought in by the waiter, and the price he offered happened to be the fourth.

The first person ahead of him only has 150 million.

"Humph, it's just 5% of the ownership. The next round and the round after that will all be mine!"

The man said this complacently, lowering his head to think about what price to offer in the next round of bidding.

There was a snap and there was a noise behind him. The man turned his head and looked with horror on his face, "Who are you!"

"Hi~" The girl hanging by the window waved her hand.

The man, after his initial fear, calmed down after seeing the girl's full appearance.

The girl in front of me was extremely beautiful. She looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a rope tied around her waist for climbing out the window.

"Little boy, did you come from another room?"

Everyone knows that there were chaperones in this auction. When the man saw the woman coming in from the window, he mistakenly thought she came from a room on the left or right.

In order to maintain absolute confidentiality and randomness, everyone knew that the surveillance in the building had been turned off.

Without surveillance, it is not impossible that the woman instructed him to turn over and negotiate the price. This is only the second floor, and even if she falls down, it won't be a big problem, not to mention that the woman is petite and has a rope tied around her waist.

Small size and light weight.

The windows of the two adjacent rooms on the left and right are not far away.

Many people would have the idea of ​​taking a gamble for the sake of profit.

The man thought he had met a 'partner with benefits'. Perhaps with the cooperation of him and that person, he could really successfully obtain the next two holdings?

Takau Orika tilted her head and guessed what the man meant. But she wasn't...

"No," he shook his head in denial.

Gao Qiao Zhixiang stepped into the room and untied the safety rope around her waist.

She came down from the roof.

The architectural structure of this palace combines the designs of the Chinese hip roof and helmet-shaped roof, and with the money spent on materials at all costs, it not only does not appear weird as a whole, it even has an indescribable grandeur.

Moreover, during the construction, the designer did not simply and roughly combine the two designs, but added some of his own ideas.

So if you stand on the first floor, you won’t be able to find Gao Qiao Zhixiang unless you go to the yard on purpose.

She walked in with a swagger, shaking her wrists and showing off the magic tricks she had learned so hard.

Unfortunately, perhaps because she had fewer hours of study, or perhaps because she had no talent, it took her two tries before she succeeded.

Looking at the card in her hand with dissatisfaction, Gao Qiao Zhixiang put it away childishly, "It doesn't count this time, I'll try again!"

She was determined to complete the card-changing magic trick from scratch in one go, but the man didn't have that much patience.

"Who the hell are you?! Who sent you here?!"

The girl is very beautiful, but the environment she is in is different and the man’s mentality is also different.

After all, this is not his territory. To be able to reach this position, the man is not a pervert who cannot distinguish between good and evil.

Gao Qiao's coming to Zhixiang was strange, and she did not tell him her purpose. The man's mood changed from being happy at the beginning to being alert now.

Gao Qiao Zhixiang turned a deaf ear to it.

Finally, after she tried twice, the magic trick worked once.

The cheerful Takaya Orika finally answered the man's question, "I came here to talk to you."

"I heard that you have a special channel to purchase goods, right?"

The man was shocked.

Not everyone can know his channel, and other than those close to him, it is impossible for others to know about this!

Is there a traitor among him?

"Who told you that?" The man's expression changed for two seconds, then he became amiable again. "Did you hear that from where you come from?"

"It's okay, just tell me, I will never involve you. Come, come here, let's sit down and talk."

Gao Qiao Zhixiang laughed and said, "Okay, let's talk about it."

"But we are talking about the ownership of that channel~"

The man's expression didn't change, as if he agreed with Takayasu Orika's statement.

He waited patiently for Gao Qiao Zhixiang to be at her best, then slowly approached her, trying to ask her questions as he walked.

However, no matter how he asked, Gao Qiao Zhixiang just took it away lightly.

The man didn't seem annoyed on the surface, but his expression suddenly turned ferocious after he sat down. He pounced on Gao Qiao Zhixiang and was about to strangle her neck, but he felt a huge pain in his abdomen!

The fear gradually spread to every part of my body.

"Don't, don't come here!"

Chapter 146 One after another

The man covered his abdomen and stepped back, blood soaking through his clothes and turning dark black. It soon soaked his palms and dripped onto the ground.

"When it comes to negotiations, it's better to keep a friendly distance, don't you think? Fukada Jushiro?" Takaki Oika held a card between the index and middle fingers of her right hand.

The sharp edge of the card flashed with a cold light stained with blood.

The familiar dots and patterns shone brightly on the front of the card, and the lines on the back were also covered with a few drops of blood.

But Takaya Orika was not worried that this would destroy her code card.

She had tried it before, and found that the code plate was not only of unpredictable texture, but also as easy to use as a sword.

Not only is the edge of the card very sharp, but the texture on the back is such that even if water gets in, it won't damage the chip inside.

Ever since she got the code card, she couldn't let it go. She had always wanted a weapon made of the same material, but it was a pity that she hadn't found it after offering a reward for so long.

When she received the task this time, Gao Qiao Zhixiang gave it a try. The disappearance of the face of the first person who died was caused by her.

Originally she didn't want it to be so bloody, but who made that person so shamelessly say such words?

Since she didn't want it anymore, Gao Qiao Zhixiang might as well fulfill his wish.

Originally, it was just a scratch to test the sharpness, but it ended up turning into that situation. Takaki Orika said that she was also innocent.

"Yes, yes! Keep your distance, keep your distance..." Fukada Jushiro did not dare to refute.
