Even so, he still gritted his teeth. Although no one knew what he was insisting on, the thing that made him persist like this, besides his belief, should be his dignity as a man.

Smart people can achieve twice the result with half the effort, just like Hirota Masami. After being unfamiliar at the beginning, she slowly found the trick.

This is also thanks to the delicious food she ate as a child - ice cream and lollipops.

As Hirota Masami gradually got into the groove, she thought about her own embarrassing situation, and the seeds of revenge slowly began to take root. With the perfect combination of speed and strength, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards her.

Murong Zhen's tense limbs and gradually distorted expression already showed that he was at the end of his strength.

The increasingly loud roar outside could no longer have any effect on Hirota Masami, who was afraid of thunder. The violent storm outside echoed the scene inside the tent, and she could no longer tell which one was more violent.

After a series of short, low thunderclaps, a deafening thunderclap fell, covering the two high-pitched sounds and dispersing the tonight's rainstorm. The world suddenly fell into a strange silence. The only sounds that could be heard were a few gasps and the increasingly intense chirping of cicadas in the woods.

Everything happened, and yet it seemed as if nothing had happened. Only Conan and Maori Kogoro were still following the footprints in the dense forest to find Takanari Wataru who had escaped!

Chapter 170: Knowing People by Voice (Revised)

God will not let down those who work hard! Just as Murong Zhen hugged Hirota Masami and fell into a sweet dream, Conan and his friends finally found Takanari Wataru kneeling on the ground and trembling at the entrance of a cave.

He held his head with both hands, muttering, "The ceiling is collapsing, and the walls are pressing in. No, I'm so scared!"

Hearing these strange words, Conan said: "He may be suffering from claustrophobia."

It was unknown how long it took before Takanari Wataru finally returned to normal. He explained to Mouri Kogoro, Conan and others why he suffered from claustrophobia.

That's because when their place was being demolished, he disagreed and was eventually locked up in a small dark room by people hired by the real estate agency. As a result, he developed claustrophobia and a fear of real estate agencies. This is why he was unwilling to go with Maori and his group, because the team included Chao Wenzhao, the president of the real estate agency, in his group.

At the same time, Conan completely ruled out the possibility that he was the killer Silver Fox, so the scope was narrowed down and locked in on other people. The sky gradually brightened, and Conan and his group also walked towards the mountain villa.

======I am the scene dividing line======

Hirota Masami finally woke up in Murong Zhen's arms.

"Sister Yamei, last night..." Murong Zhen felt a little embarrassed about what happened last night and wanted to apologize to her.

"Turn around first, I'll put on my clothes!" Hirota Masami interrupted what he was about to say, and seemed reluctant to talk about what happened last night.

The jacket, which was not absorbent to begin with, had dried up after last night. After putting on his clothes, he walked out of the tent, leaving Murong Zhen space to get dressed.

After they were dressed, Murong Zhen walked out of the tent and took out a set of toothbrushes and handed them to Hirota Masami. The latter did not refuse, this was really what she wanted at the moment. After taking the toothbrushes, she walked aside.

When she came back, Murong Zhen had already washed up and packed up the tent. She didn't know why, even though she had brushed her teeth many times, she could still smell the smell. It wasn't that the smell was still there, but that feeling had already entered her heart.

She looked at Murong Zhen with eyes full of resentment, as if everything was blamed on him as the initiator. But she also knew that it was not his fault alone, so she could not blame him further. She was the one who was wronged, but she was also a participant, even the leader.

The two of them were silent along the way. Before they had walked a few steps, the mountain villa on the top of the mountain appeared in front of them. It turned out that they were so close to the mountain villa last night. Hirota Masami thought: If I could find this place last night, it seems that what happened last night would not have happened. But I couldn't feel the feeling of flying in the sky as my sister said, and I couldn't say that I still felt the feeling of flying in the air. Maybe I haven't really touched it yet.

Hirota Masami's thoughts were gradually wandering, and she was interrupted by a girl's scream coming from Sanyue Villa.

Although it was incredible, Murong Zhen recognized that this was Xiaolan's voice. Could it be that she was in danger inside? Without caring about anything else, Murong Zhen took Guangtian Masami's hand and ran towards Shanyue Villa regardless of whether she was willing or not. Now was not the time to joke.

As for why he took Hirota Masami by the hand instead of running alone. Who knows if there is any danger nearby? If he leaves her here alone, no one can guarantee that nothing will happen. This is always the case in movies and TV shows. People who are left alone will never have a good outcome. Murong Zhen is like this: I want fish, I want bear paws too! I want the sea, I want the forest too!

Maori Kogoro and Conan and his group also rushed over after hearing the noise. However, the fastest one was Murong Zhen. When he was at the door, Murong Zhen let go of Hirota Masami's hand, drew out the Demon Slayer, swung the sword a few times, and then put it away again. At the moment he put the sword away, the solid wooden door of the mountain villa fell to the ground like a jigsaw puzzle.

Murong Zhen rushed in and shouted, "Lan!", but the scene he saw inside the house was very different from what he had imagined. He originally thought that Xiaolan had encountered a gangster, or even her life was in danger. After entering, he found that someone was indeed in danger of life, and had even died. Fortunately, it was not Xiaolan, then everything would be fine.

[Kyoko Saegusa: You can do it! Your Xiaolan's life is life, so my life is not life? What do you mean it's all right? I will die with my eyes open, can't you see? ]

Seeing the unexpected but expected person appear, and calling her Lan intimately, the concern and love in his voice were beyond words. Although he didn't say anything, it seemed to have said everything.

Xiaolan, who was in a panic, saw Murong Zhen appear like a god from the sky when she needed him the most, and she excitedly threw herself into his arms.

Hirota Masami came in with Conan, Maori Kogoro and his group. When she saw the girl in Murong Zhen's arms, although she couldn't see her face clearly, she knew from her profile, outline and curves that she must be a beautiful girl. She felt a little strange. They were so close last night, but now he was hugging another woman tightly. It felt like her beloved toy was taken away. But she had no right to speak out to stop it!

She doesn't have it, but others do!

"Let Xiaolan go!" Conan said!

"You little brat! Look at me..." Maori Kogoro pulled away one of Murong Zhen's arms and recognized Murong Zhen who turned around.

He and Conan said in unison: "How could it be you!"

Both of them were surprised that Murong Zhen appeared here.

As everyone came back, Xiaolan realized that she was still in Murong Zhen's arms. At the same time, there was a very beautiful older sister behind Murong Zhen. She looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

Xiaolan gently left Murong Zhen's arms without saying thank you to him, which invisibly put the two of them in a position where they didn't need to be thanked.

Pointing to the body of Kyoko Saegusa, who was lying on the ground with a knife in the back, he said, "I'm fine. The one who's in trouble is Miss Kyoko Saegusa. When I came back, I found that she had been killed."

Without bothering to exchange pleasantries, Conan and Kogoro Mouri went forward to check the condition of the body.

Murong Zhen was also watching the corpse not far away, and a constant stream of information was analyzed and entered his mind. Then he observed the rest of the people and finally locked on the murderer who killed this woman.

At the same time, a very suspicious person was also found.

Chapter 171 Solving Two Cases in a Row

After the autopsy, Kawabe Akira, who was wearing a red sweater, rushed over and lay on the woman's body crying, saying something like, "Who on earth wanted to kill you?"

Murong Zhen sneered at this, saying that this man not only had bad character, but also bad acting skills.

"Judging from the wounds on the deceased, the murderer should be a left-handed person. I guess this could be the killer Silver Fox we are looking for!"

"Killer Silver Fox?" x5

"Now that two murders have occurred, I think we can't keep it secret any longer! In fact, we came to Danyuan Mountain to find a killer, and he is the Silver Fox! According to our speculation, the Silver Fox is hiding among us."

Compared with the surprised expressions of Takanari Wataru and Nose Shingo, the crying Kawabe Akira looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly!

After being surprised, Nose Shingo became interested. He sat down, lit a cigarette, and thought about how to write this case into a novel. He believed that it would be a big seller. He said, "I told you that you are not simple. You are actually a detective. Then who among us is the killer silver fox you mentioned?"

Maori Kogoro pointed at Nose Shingo confidently and said, "The Killer Silver Fox is you! When you lit the cigarette just now, you used your left hand. Although you usually use your right hand, your subconscious action of lighting the cigarette exposed your left-handedness. In fact, you should be able to use both hands! Also, the novel you wrote before, "The Mysterious Beauty Amnesia Case", tells the story of a killer who lost her memory. This may be a portrayal of your real life."

"I can use both hands, and I have written novels about killers, but that doesn't prove that I am the Silver Fox!"

When Kogoro Mori pointed out that Shingo Nose in front of him was the killer Silver Fox, Shio Bunzo grabbed Shingo Nose by the collar angrily, with eyes as if he wanted to eat him.

As a novelist, how could Nose Shingo be a match for the burly Shio Bunzo? Even though he explained in every possible way that he was not the killer Silver Fox, Shio Bunzo just didn't believe it because there was no one else in the group who he could suspect.

Seeing that a farce was about to take place, and two people in the crowd had already given up, Murong Zhen stepped forward to stop the farce and said, "The murderer is not him!"

Except for Conan and his group, no one present knew the man who spoke in front of them, but they could feel the unquestionable aura emanating from him.

Ushiobunzo let go of Nose Shingo and asked, "You said the murderer wasn't him, so I guess you know who the murderer is? Could you please tell me who the killer Silver Fox is?"

"Although I don't know why you are looking for the killer Silver Fox, but I want to tell you that the murderer is the murderer and the Silver Fox is the Silver Fox!"

"What? The murderer is not Killer Silver Fox?" x6

"That's the truth! The murderer who killed this young lady was the man in the red sweater who pretended to cry sadly.

It might be the lover of the deceased lady, because they were wearing couple hats, and the murderer was not left-handed, but the deceased was killed while hugging the murderer, so from the back, it looked like the work of a left-handed person!

As for the evidence, it is the red fiber-like substance under the fingernails of the deceased, which is on the murderer’s red sweater.”

"You said that the killer Silver Fox is someone else. Apart from him, Nose Shingo and Takanari Wataru have been ruled out. Who else could it be?" Shio Bunzo asked anxiously. He really wanted to find this killer Silver Fox.

"In that case, you have already found them all, excluding these people, the remaining one is the killer Silver Fox you are looking for!"

After hearing what Murong Zhen said, Chao Wenzhao looked around and finally fixed his eyes on the taciturn manager of the mountain villa, Shigekichi Iwata.

The killer Silver Fox realized that he had been exposed, and in revenge, he threw a flying knife with his left hand, flying towards Murong Zhen who had found him out! Then he ran towards the open door.

Kawabe Akira, who was also exposed as the murderer, took the opportunity to draw out his short knife and attempted to hold Hirota Masami hostage, because in his opinion, this woman came with Murong Zhen and the relationship between the two should be closer. His idea was right, but his every move had long been locked by Murong Zhen.

Facing the simultaneous attacks from both sides, Murong Zhen was not panicked at all. He caught the flying knife steadily, and then returned it in the same way, hitting the fleeing killer Silver Fox right on the back of the thigh. The killer Silver Fox fell flat on his face not far from the door!

Then, when Huang took out the knife by the river, but had not yet touched Hirota Masami, Murong Zhen rushed over and hit him with a mountain-leaning blow. He flew out, hit the wall, and then slowly fell beside the wall.

Outside the door, Chao Wenzao took out a pistol from his arms, pointed it at the killer Silver Fox, and said excitedly: "Silver Fox, your death has come! Go to hell and repent for what you have done." Just as he was about to pull the trigger to shoot, Conan kicked a stone on the ground and deflected the muzzle of the gun. The bullet that was originally aimed at Silver Fox's heart hit his shoulder instead.

The gunshots not only startled the birds in the nearby woods, but also attracted the police who were searching the mountain.

Chao Wenzao ignored who kicked his gun off the mark and was about to shoot, but heard Conan say, "Uncle, stop it. Even if you kill him, your daughter won't come back!"

It turned out that just when Chao Wenzou took out his gun, his wallet fell out again and opened. Conan finally knew who the kindergarten girl in the photo was. She was a child in Takagi Kindergarten. She was also the child who died in the accident half a year ago when the killer Silver Fox assassinated the president of a loan shark company, causing the president's car to lose control and crash into a kindergarten bus.

The reason why Chao Wenzao was willing to use himself as bait to find the killer Silver Fox was to avenge his daughter!

Seeing that Chao Wenzao was somewhat moved, Conan continued to persuade him, saying: "Your daughter's spirit in heaven would not want to see you like this. Now is the time, stop it and don't make any more mistakes."

Shio Bunzo put down his gun, took the photo of his daughter Shio Chisato from Conan's hand, knelt on the ground, and cried out his daughter's name.

After a while, a police officer with tinfoil-curled hair came over with a team. It can only be said that he came at the right time. He just needed to take the person away. It is really better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

"I'm the police captain of Kanagawa Prefecture, my name is Yokomizo Shigego!"

Chapter 172 Police Rank Upgrade

Just as Yokomizo Shigego led his men to torture Kawabe Akira, the killer Silver Fox, and Chao Wenzo, a system prompt sounded in Murong Zhen's mind:

"Ding, congratulations to the host. In the complicated "Horror Mountain Climbing Murder Case", you have accurately found and subdued the murderer. According to the system calculation, you have played a 70% role, triggering the "Discover the Truth" mission and receiving the reward [Neon Police Identity and Rank Promotion One Level]"

[Neon Police rank promotion]: From [Inspector] to [Superintendent]

Murong Zhen quietly checked the police ID in his personal space, and sure enough, the police rank on it had been modified. Although he didn't know what it was for, it was better than nothing.
