Conan's other me

Chapter 155 Assassin in the Darkness
The ear-piercing sound instantly woke up the pupils.

Seeing that Fengyuan reached out and turned on the lamp beside the bed, Conan got up and rushed towards the door. When he opened the door, he vaguely saw Hoshima bending over and looking at the bed lying on the sofa by the light in the bedroom. ancient village.

"Hello, Mr. Furumura?" Suoshima shouted loudly, because there was no light before, and now the light from the bedroom is dim, and he is not very clear about the specific situation, "What happened, Mr. Furumura?"

With a soft snap, Conan turned on the light in the living room, Feng Yuan and Hui Yuan Ai came out, and then they saw Mr. Furumura lying flat on the sofa with a sharp knife stuck in his heart, his eyes wide open , die with peace.

……

"The one who was killed was Tokuhiro Furumura, 39 years old,"

After a while, the police officer Takagi who arrived reported to the Megure Police Department, "I work at the Dongdu Development Institute opposite this apartment..."

"Well, I was stabbed in the heart with a knife..." Mumu police department glanced at the corpse, "The stabbing was done through the blanket to prevent blood from splashing on the body..."

After briefly asking Hoshima about the situation, the Megure Police Department turned its attention to the familiar children.

Taking advantage of Ayumi and others introducing the situation to the Megure Police Department, Conan whispered to Fengbara next to him, "Did you hear anything?"

He himself didn't hear any movement from the murderer. Fengyuan should have been sleeping at that time, so even though he asked, Conan didn't really have much expectation.

However, Fengyuan still gave him an answer that surprised and surprised him.

"Slight opening and closing of doors."

"You actually heard it..."

"I just woke up at that time." Feng Yuan briefly explained.There were other voices, but he wasn't sure yet.

"That means the murderer is someone outside this room..." Conan thought thoughtfully, "Strange..."

They woke up when they heard the cry, but they did not see any light through the crack of the door, which meant that the murderer slipped out in total darkness, and it was obvious that he wanted to slip out of such a messy room without making a sound. Some kind of trick is needed.

Thinking of this, they decided not to tell what Fengyuan heard.Moreover, the testimony of a child in Fengyuan alone is not convincing enough when it is inconsistent with other people. After all, there is no Hattori Heiji who can react quickly this time.

Hui Yuanai also listened to the conversation between the two.

On the other side, Ayumi and others are telling the Megure Police Department that they did not hear any sound.

"Probably because you haven't woken up yet..."

"The murderer must have tiptoed out..."

Megure Police Department and Takagi Police Officer said.

The elementary school students were a little dissatisfied, and they retorted one by one. Hui Yuanai walked over to help and said, "If it's an ordinary room, you might slip out of it quietly..."

She glanced at the door and the mountains of sundries, "Don't you think it's impossible to escape from such a messy room in the dark without making any noise in a short time?"

"Indeed, that's true..."

"In this case, the murderer did not escape from the room," Police Officer Takagi said, "That is Mr. Hoshima, who was sleeping on the sofa next to the victim..."

"W-what..."

"Where's the lock on the door after the body was found?"

"It's well locked..."

"Then the only murderer is you!" Police Department Megure and Officer Takagi said one by one, "There is no sign of the keyhole on the door being forced open..."

"Wait, wait a minute!" Hojima argued, "There are other people who have the key to this room! The poker friends Mr. Tang Tian and Mr. Negami who work in the same development studio..."

Mr. Tang Tian and Mr. Negami were quickly called over.

At the time of the incident, among the two, the former was sleeping in the lounge, and the latter was alone in the darkroom checking whether the film was damaged, and neither had an alibi.

After learning that both of them came frequently, the Mumu Police Department suggested that since they came frequently, they might remember the layout of the room.

"Maybe you can come and go freely even in the dark..."

"But," Conan turned off the light with a click, simulating the scene at that time, "this room is really dark..."

"Hey, hey," Genshang immediately turned on the light again, and dissuaded Conan, "No, you can't disturb the police uncle..."

Due to the needs of Suishima's work, thick curtains were hung in this room, and even the indicator lights of VCRs and other electrical appliances were blocked with something, so the room was very dark.The Mumu police department vetoed his idea just now.

Then, the police inspecting the body found that the third button on the shirt of Gu Cun's body had been forcibly torn off. It looked like the victim had an argument with the murderer before he was stabbed...

Of course, this was the idea of ​​the police, and Fengyuan didn't hear that kind of movement.

Afterwards, they noticed the camera that had fallen beside Gucun, and the camera was still on.

Thinking about what the camera might capture, the Mumu Police Department connected the camera to the TV to check.According to the video, Gu Cun turned off the camera after writing in his diary talking to himself, but the camera was turned on again almost immediately before the incident, but because it was too dark, everyone could only hear the recorded voice.

It is no different from what they describe.

So much for the clues.

Hui Yuanai tried to think about it, but couldn't figure out how the murderer escaped from the room.However, with Kudo and Edogawa around, she obviously doesn't need to worry about the case...

Thinking of this, she stood by the window slightly startled.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw something.

The thick curtains had just been opened a little during the police inspection, and through the gap, she noticed a black car was parked downstairs, and she could vaguely see the figure in the car staring at the second floor, where they were s position.

someone is following me...

This idea popped up all of a sudden, and spread in my mind uncontrollably.

She subconsciously looked away and looked at Kudo.

But Kudo was whispering something to Edogawa, probably discussing the case...

Clenching his hands tightly, Hui Yuanai suppressed the thought of disturbing the two of them, but still couldn't help but cautiously glanced downstairs through the window, his heartbeat gradually accelerated.

It must be for me...

At the same time, because they also couldn't think of a way for the prisoner to escape the scene silently, the police began to believe that Hoshima was the murderer.

"The murderer is Hojima who is sleeping on the sofa next to Mr. Gumura..." Megure Police Department said, "It can only be you!"

"Wait, wait a minute..."

"That's right!" A voice that surprised everyone suddenly came from the door.

"Dr. Ali!?" Officer Takagi said in surprise.

"Doctor!" The primary school students greeted happily.

"I received a call from Xiao Kong to take you home!" The doctor said to the elementary school students, and then looked at everyone on the field, "And I heard about this case on the phone... No matter how you think about it, there is only one answer! "

"First of all, there should be nothing wrong with what Mr. Hoshima did," Dr. Ali continued, with Hoshima's face full of love, "because ordinary people can't move freely in the dark without making a sound...Of course, if there is no ghost with feet It's something else!"

"You think so too..." Megure Police Department said.

"But there's one thing I care about..."

"what?"

"It's the third button on the shirt that was ripped off when Mr. Furumura and the murderer were pulling... haven't you found it yet?"

"Yes, yes, not yet..."

"The button won't grow wings and fly away. I'm afraid it fell in this messy room...or the murderer is still holding it..."

"So," Dr. Ali continued, "I suggest that you conduct a necessary body search on Mr. Hoshima when you take a statement at the police station..."

The Mugure Police Department deeply agreed, and they were going to bring Hojima, Tang Tian, ​​and Negami to take notes.

Dr. Ari whispered to Fengyuan and Conan, and Conan then suggested that the elementary school students should testify together.

The movie is obviously unwatchable, after all, the employee concerned is either dead or going to the police station.Although a little regretful, the elementary school students who had just slept and were still awake readily agreed.

"I'm not going to take notes," Fengbara said, "I want to go back to bed early."

"Eh?"

"Maplehara, you can sleep well!"

"Is it uncomfortable?"

"No, I just didn't sleep well," Fengyuan explained, and then looked at Huiyuan Ai, "Huihara will go back with me too? The doctor has already helped call a taxi."

"Ah... um..."

Startled for a moment, Hui Yuanai responded.

It was not the first time that the two thought it was too troublesome to take notes. The elementary school students didn't think much about it. Under Conan's urging, they went out with Dr. A Li, and planned to take the doctor's car to the nearby police station.

"Grey Yuan?"

Feng Yuan shouted.

Hui Yuanai just glanced out of the window again, looking a little nervous.

"time to go."

"Um…"
