He carefully bent down to pick up the black silk thread on the roof, and a light flashed in Hattori Heiji's eyes.

"These are the rough edges left by the friction of the hemp rope..."

"But black hemp rope?"

why?

If it was a normal color, he might not be able to find it.

It happened to be black, as if someone had predicted that he would come to the roof to check, so they deliberately used black hemp rope and left clues.

While I was thinking, I heard a commotion downstairs.

"who!"

He shouted to get the attention of the White Horse Tanks.

The man in black who had just walked into the yard downstairs heard Hattori Heiji's shout and rushed into the woods without looking back.

However, the man in black had a good idea and touched the wall while escaping, and the high-voltage wall that had stopped working resumed working at this time.

The next moment, a horrifying scream was heard. When the White Horse Agents arrived, the man in black had already been roasted to a crisp by the high voltage electricity!

The situation downstairs changed rapidly.

In order not to miss the first-hand information, Hattori climbed up the roof structure and jumped down.

Because the movements are big and dangerous.

When he jumped down the building, his ankle sprained and quickly swelled up.

But Hattori Heiji was no longer in the mood to care about himself. He looked at Conan who was desperately running towards him and shouted in desperation, "Kudo! Don't come over here!"

"Zizzi-"

The electric arc on the wall continued to flicker for a few seconds, and a ferocious blue and white beast looked down at the people below with its fangs and claws bared.

Conan slammed on the brakes at Hattori's reminder and avoided rushing through the metal gate.

But before he could rejoice, questions came from behind and in front of him at the same time.

"Kudo?"

"You?"

Chapter 149: Doubt; Deputy Director

Gunda Ikumi smiled instead of smiling.

Conan was sweating profusely and his body was stiff.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

He wanted to find an excuse to get away with it, but the current situation did not allow him to be distracted by these thoughts.

Hattori Heiji's loud shout and the black-clad man's horrific scream before his death were loud enough for the guests on the second floor to hear.

After discovering the body, Conan and his friends did not notify the people on the second floor by shouting in the yard, because they were afraid that the people inside would panic and do something dangerous after learning about the situation downstairs.

For example, opening the door without permission or jumping out of the window without permission.

Furthermore, even if you don’t shout, you can still achieve your goal by directly using the quotation board sent into the room.

But none of Conan and the others did that.

The reason, of course, is to avoid angering the criminal and making him do something more dangerous.

The distance between the second floor and the first floor is actually not very high. Judging from the fact that Hattori Heiji was able to jump down and remain safe and sound, the best option was to notify everyone to evacuate from the second floor as soon as the body was found.

However, no one knew at that time whether the murderer was targeting only that person or had other purposes.

If we rashly organize the evacuation, there is a great possibility that the murderer will sneak in and escape!

There is also a great possibility that it will stimulate the criminals and make them take desperate measures.

And even if we do this, if the people in the front yard evacuate, what should we do with those whose windows are in the back yard?

Because there were four buildings connected to the back of the palace, the windows on the second floor that opened to the backyard were sealed. The people inside couldn't get out at all!

This is also the reason why Conan and Hattori Heiji looked so solemn after discovering the second body, and asked Horii Nagaaki about the whereabouts of Tanvid.

The murderer took advantage of their psychology and acted perversely.

Of the people who were on the first floor at the time, the only one who had not shown up from the first incident to the second was Tanvid.

It's understandable that Conan would ask like that.

But he didn't expect that Dashang Zhushan died as soon as Tanvid appeared.

The White Horse detective then proposed to split up and, considering that they would not be able to find any clues about the murderer, he notified the people on the second floor to evacuate first.

After all, one person's death and multiple deaths are different concepts.

As for the people in the other row of rooms on the second floor, they can only take one step at a time.

But just when they were preparing for the next move, the person suspected to be the murderer died?

"Oh my god, what's going on downstairs?"

"That black thing is..."

"Conan?!" The room where Maori Ran and Maori Kogoro were accompanying the deputy director was right in the front yard.

Just now, she seemed to hear someone calling Kudo vaguely?

Is it her imagination?

The deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department was surrounded by the Maori father and daughter. His years of criminal investigation experience made him realize that something was wrong.

"Nakamori!"

Ginzo Nakamori looked up and saluted.

The rest is easy.

Under the organization of Ginzo Nakamori, the waiter found a ladder and brought these people down first.

No one complained at such moments. Even if it was not decent, it was better than being trapped in that small house alone with a few people or alone.

"Asshole!" As soon as he got out of trouble, the deputy director scolded Ginzo Nakamori.

According to him, the people trapped on the second floor should have been rescued as soon as the first body was found!

However, after hearing Nakamori Ginzo's concerns, the deputy director didn't say anything else.

In that situation, if you act rashly before figuring out the criminals' purpose, you are likely to fall into the criminals' trap.

"The rest of the police officers..."

"Wait a minute, the bidding time is about to end." The deputy director shook his head.

"Don't tell them yet."

People can't get out now, and telling them this news will only make them panic.

"Then the next case..."

Nakamori Ginzo hesitated.

Five people died without a reasonable explanation, which is probably inappropriate.

"First, carefully check the identity of this person." The deputy director pointed at the body on the ground with a heavy face, "Then help me contact the owner of this island!"

"If something like this happens on his territory, even if he has a good reason, he has to get out of here!"

-

"Brother, he scolded you." Hiroki pointed at the computer screen.

The main power switch in the control room was turned off, but the high voltage electricity on the wall was activated. This was of course Hiroki's work.

As for whether the man in black is the murderer, it doesn't matter.

It didn't matter whether he died or not. Lingchuan just restored the power of the wall as Adrian requested to separate Conan from the people in the palace.

Lingchuan didn't care about the "consolation" from the deputy director on the computer. After all, after leaving the island today, whether this person was still there had become a mystery.

"It's okay," Lingchuan touched Hiroki's head. Because the wall of the base was attached to the notebook, Ark could only briefly touch the core of it. With the help of Hiroki, it was possible to temporarily control the power to restart the wall.

Otherwise, it’s not that easy.

It all depends on how Adrian arranges it.

At the bottom of the valley, under the command of the deputy director and the action of Ginzo Nakamori, the identities of half of the people who were rescued have been recorded.

Those blacklisted ones were given two extra points of attention.

However, due to the shortage of police manpower, Ginzo Nakamori did not dare to take any major actions.

After recording like this, Kogoro Mouri has learned about the situation in the control room through Conan outside the outer wall.

Hattori Heiji dragged his sprained foot over, exchanged glances with Conan, and asked the five of them to return to the control room to check the situation again.

The power was clearly lost, so how did the high voltage electricity on the wall get back to work?

Is the man in black who was electrocuted really the murderer?

Conan nodded heavily. He looked at Mouri Ran with some panic, and finally turned around and returned to the control room.

After half an hour of back and forth, half of the confused guests on the second floor were still bidding.

The second round has ended, and the person who obtained the holding rights happened to be one of the half.

When his door was opened after the power was cut off, he was greeted by a group of people led by Kogoro Mori.

Unaware of what was going on, Lucky walked out of the room, followed by his two companions.

"This window..." Maori Kogoro knocked on the welded railing on the window and shook his head regretfully, "It can't be opened without professional tools."

The deputy director sighed and nodded to show that he understood.

Then everyone returned to the first floor.

The lucky person in that room only realized what was going on from someone else's mouth.

He gathered with people he knew, and after hearing the whole story, the first thing he thought of was, "Does my bid still count?"
