Chapter 172

"Oh, that." Hattori Heiji slapped his head, glanced at the chairman who was talking with his daughter, and explained in a low voice:

"Actually, the chairman said that in the early hours of yesterday morning, he heard someone running in the corridor, and there were several strange noises of things colliding."

This kind of situation is not too rare. Conan speculated, "Someone is looking for the way. Could it be that a thief is eyeing this place?"

"My dad and I also think the same way, more people are better at catching thieves, so I want to ask you to come and help..."

Eh wait, why am I serious about discussing plans with a brat and using "please" to him?Shouldn't this be said to Mori Kogoro, or that young detective!
Hattori Heiji stopped his mouth with a strange expression.

Just at this time, the phone in the room rang, and the butler picked up the receiver, and Nagato Guangming's voice came from inside:

"I am Guangming. Xiuchen is gone and can't be found anywhere... Where did he go?"

It may be to take care of the chairman's hearing, or it may be due to the needs of the plot. Although the hands-free was not turned on, everyone present heard what Nagato Guangming said.

The corners of Hattori Heiji's eyes twitched, and he muttered in a low voice, "Are rich people so self-willed? Even though they are at home, they still have to call to report... It's amazing that the house is big."

Conan silently agreed in his heart.

Although the chairman regretted that his son was absent from his birthday party, there was nothing he could do if he couldn't find him, "Let Guangming come back first."

The butler was about to deliver instructions when a terrifying scream came from the receiver and the window at the same time.

It was the voice of Nagato Guangming, and it sounded not far away.

Seeing the butler in front of the phone in a daze, Bai Shu leaned over and shouted into the receiver, "Where are you?"

Nagato Guangming said eagerly, "It's in the room directly below you! Someone suddenly turned off the light and forced me from behind...Ah!!"

As soon as he finished his first sentence, Hattori Heiji had already slammed open the glass door and rushed to the balcony.

When I looked down, there happened to be someone on the balcony below with a knife in his mouth, half of his body was sticking out, and he was also looking up at the railing.

The two sides suddenly met their eyes.

Nagato Hideomi was still dressed like a mummy, the only difference was that he had a bloody kitchen knife in his mouth and splashed blood on his face.

"Hidetomi?!" Hinata Yuki covered her mouth in disbelief.

Nagato Hideomi took a deep look at her, stood up straight, turned around and went back into the house, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Bright!" Changmen Kangjiang pushed away the people on the balcony and shouted down, but no one answered her downstairs.

She sobbed, and ran out the door. The others hurriedly followed after being stunned for a moment, but in their hearts they lit the wax for Nagato Guangming, knowing that something must have happened to him.

The downstairs door was locked as expected.

The butler hurried to get the spare key, while Hattori Heiji went to the security guards to help keep an eye on the outside to prevent the murderer from escaping through the window.

Mori Kogoro, who stayed behind, dragged the white tree and slammed into the door together, but his shoulders were numb from the shock, and the door couldn't be knocked open. The mahogany is really strong, not to mention that some of the people who hit the door were still paddling.

In short, it was already 5 minutes later when the aged housekeeper took the spare key out of breath and found the key of this room from a large plate of keys.

As the door was pushed open, Mori Kogoro immediately entered a state of alert to see whoever fell.However, there was no one in the room, only sporadic blood fell on the ground.

Bai Shu walked through the room, walked into the balcony, looked down, and successfully found his achievements a few meters away.

Conan didn't go as fast as him, and arrived later. He saw an iron hook hanging on the balcony railing, and a long piece of hemp rope was tied to the other end of the hook, hanging down. "The murderer has escaped? Where is Nagato Hikaru?"

"Look below." Bai Shu lifted him up so that he could look down over the railing.

Directly below, Nagato Guangming was facing up to the sky, and was stuck on the iron railing downstairs. The sharp iron thorns pierced his heart and lungs, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth all over his face.

Putting Conan back on the ground, amidst Nagato Yasuko's screams of collapse, Bai Shu opened his hand and sucked back the soul that was also worn on the railing, and said with a sad face, "Sorry."

……

Ten minutes later, the Mumu Police Department arrived with their subordinates.

The police officers struggled to get Nagato Guangming off the railing, while the Mugure police department lamented how tragic the death of this person was, and skillfully began to ask about the situation at the scene.

——Seeing Kogoro Mori at the scene of the murder for the Nth time, he was not surprised at all, but had a little emotion in his helplessness, and a little relief in his emotion.

In short, look away.

I was even a little relieved, because compared with countless times before, the case this time seemed less confusing, and the suspect was very clear, "You all saw that the murderer was Nagato Hideomi?"

"Yeah, the look of him with a kitchen knife in his mouth is too scary." Life is not easy, Maori sighed, "Why do I always meet this kind of murderer?"

Hattori Heiji next to him frowned, and couldn't help but retort, "The man's face is wrapped in bandages, so he can't see his face clearly. We can't be sure that he is Nagato Hideomi, maybe someone planted it."

"That's right." Hinata Yuki's face was pale, but his tone was quite calm, "Xiuchen will never kill anyone."

"...I'll talk about that later." Mumu Police Department has not been here for a long time, and he hasn't fully figured out the relationship between the characters. He tried to sum up with a big head:

"That is to say, except for the missing Nagato Hideomi, the chairman who is in poor health, and the butler who went to get the key, all of you were at the scene of the crime, right?"

Hinata Yuki shook his head, "I'm upstairs with the chairman."

"You also have an alibi." Mumu police department was thoughtful, "Now it seems that Nagato Hideomi is the most suspected."

"It's still suspicious, he is definitely the murderer!" Mouri Kogoro concluded in a very confident tone, "Arrest him!"

"Uncle, did you listen to me! Seeing a person with a bandage on his face doesn't mean he's seeing Nagato Hideomi!" Hattori Heiji was about to be pissed off by this famous detective. Such a big man might as well The kid next to me...

The child next to him suddenly said, "Why is there a wound on the back of the corpse's right hand?"

"It doesn't look like a knife wound." Bai Shu also squatted down, took a look pretendingly, and judged calmly, "It seems to have been stabbed by something not too sharp."

Mori Kogoro ignored Hattori Heiji and followed them to join in the fun, "It must have been stabbed by the railing when it fell."

"If it was a railing, the wound wouldn't be so small...don't always say such uncertain things in an affirmative tone, are you really a detective!" Hattori Heiji seemed to be on the fence with Mori Kogoro.

The Mumu Police Department, who both knew each other, was forced to become a persuasion contestant, "Okay, okay, let's hand it over to the forensics department for comparison. Anyway, the bandage hat and murder weapon are thrown here, so there are still a lot of clues."

"As for Nagato Hideomi, who is missing, first issue a warrant to find him." Megure said and looked at Hattori Heiji, "You don't mind about that."

"...No." Hattori Heiji responded dryly.

To be honest, he also felt that Nagato Hideomi was the most suspicious, but Mori Kogoro's determined appearance made him feel very imprecise. He wondered countless times whether this was the sharp detective in the newspaper.

The little police officer next to him was about to issue a wanted warrant. At this moment, a policeman ran over at the gate of the courtyard, "Wait a minute, the police department! We just checked the surveillance in the garden and confirmed that no one left the house after the incident."

"!"

The detectives and the police all showed shocked faces, Bai Shu only felt that his field of vision was swiped by exclamation marks for a moment, he lowered his head and rubbed his eyes without saying a word.

The others seemed to believe that the murderer had other plots, and sprinted [-] meters into the chairman's room. When he stood up, there was no one around.

"..." Bai Shu brushed off the dead leaves that fell on his shoulders just now, and he could only run away, "Why are you in such a hurry, isn't Xiaolan still with the chairman?"
