I'm making soy sauce in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 941 Something happened again
"Clang, clang, clang~"

At eight o'clock, the pendulum clock chimed.

"Anyway, it's already this time, so it's time to finish the curry rice?"

Thinking of this, Xiaolan turned her eyes away from the pendulum clock, turned her head and said to Akashi Hiroto who was still teaching Sonoko how to play tennis.

"Mr. Akashi, let me go up again now and take down the tableware."

"Well, good." Akashi Hiroto nodded and said very politely, "I'm really sorry to trouble you."

Without saying too many polite words, Xiaolan turned around and was about to leave the living room.

"Sister Xiaolan, wait for me!" Conan used his free hand to support himself to stand up and followed.

"I just had to go to the bathroom."

When she came to the stairs again, Xiaolan clearly remembered to keep her voice low, so she deliberately lowered the sound of her footsteps when she went upstairs.

When she came to the second floor, Xiaolan saw that the room where the lights were on before had gone dark.

"Okay, now the lights have been turned off." Xiaolan still lowered her footsteps, walked to the door, and slowly pushed it open.

Akashi Hiroto said before that if the light in the room is off, it means his father is asleep.

No need to say hello, just open the door and take away the empty tableware.

Try not to make any noise during this process. The quality of sleep of the elderly is not so good, and a small movement may wake them up.

So Xiaolan followed what he said, went to the front and back of the door and pushed it open, ready to take down the empty tableware.

But after Xiaolan opened the door, she didn't see the old man resting under the blanket at first sight.

"Strange, he's not lying on the quilt?"

Looking at the quilt on the floor of the room where no one was lying in it, Xiaolan blinked, feeling a little puzzled.

"Tick."

"Tick."

In the dark room, the sound of liquid dripping was very clear.

On the white quilt, there was a puddle of dark liquid, Xiaolan couldn't see what it was in the dark environment.

"Tick."

Another drop of unknown dark liquid dripped on the quilt.

Following the dripping liquid, Xiaolan's eyes moved upwards.

Then, she saw a horrifying scene:
In the middle of the room, above the quilt, there was a figure hanging in the air.

The light from the corridor outside the room entered the room, and a small part of the light shone on the figure's body and face.

Suddenly, half a human face appeared in Xiaolan's eyes:
That half of the face was covered with wrinkles, age spots, and a grim expression, with pain written all over it.

The figure's mouth was wide open, and the unknown dark liquid dripped from the figure's mouth onto the quilt.

With the light from the hallway into the room, Xiaolan could clearly see the yellowed teeth in the mouth of the figure and his protruding eyes.

It was as if the figure was looking at her.

Suddenly, Xiaolan felt a sudden chill behind her, she subconsciously screamed, sat down on the ground, supported herself with both hands and took a few steps back.

She didn't stop until she hit the railing of the stairs.

She has seen this man.

"Mr. Akashi's father" Xiaolan looked at the horrifying scene in the room, panting heavily, with disbelief on her face.

"he died"

Screams echoed throughout the house.

Hearing Xiaolan's scream, Guangyou, who was chatting with Xiaoai, swallowed what he was about to say, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the stairs, as if his gaze could penetrate the wall and see the situation on the second floor.

Even though he didn't have the superpower of clairvoyance, Xiaolan's scream was enough to tell him what absolutely happened on the second floor.

Reminiscent of the vague sobbing sound he heard at the stairs before, Guangyou has already guessed the general idea in his heart.

"Another life has been lost."

There is only one possibility.

"Really, why don't you take a good vacation?" Guangyou cursed secretly in his heart, got up quickly, and trotted to the second floor.

"Did something happen again?" Although Xiao Ai didn't come to the scene, she also guessed what happened, and she couldn't help shaking her head.

"This is the second time in a few days."

The first time she mentioned, of course, refers to the camping in the wild two days ago.

I came out to play twice in a row, but something happened.

also really
However, there is no other way, everything has already happened, Xiao Ai did not stay in the living room, but got up to follow Guangyou.

When Hiroto Akashi and Sonoko heard Xiaolan's scream, they stopped their movements and raised their heads to look at the second floor.

"Is something wrong with Xiaolan's voice?"

Not in the mood to continue learning how to play tennis, Yuanzi put the tennis racket aside casually, and then hurried to the second floor.

Behind her, Hiroto Akashi was still looking up at the second floor.

His eyes shone brightly in the light of the living room.

He gritted his teeth, took a breath and let it out.

He only lasted this look for a few seconds, and soon he changed into a blank expression of "I don't know what happened".

Then, he also walked to the second floor.

At this time, Uncle Maori was taking a bath in the bathtub.

After soaking for a while, Uncle Mao Li felt a little sleepy, squinting his eyes as if giving him a pillow, he could fall asleep.

After hearing Xiaolan's scream, the trace of drowsiness was instantly wiped away.

"This is Xiaolan's voice." Uncle Mao Li reacted, threw the towel on his head to the side, and stood up from the bathtub.

After drying his body and changing clothes at an extremely fast speed, Uncle Maori quickly pushed open the bathroom door and trotted to the second floor.

In front of the room on the second floor, Xiaolan sat on the ground, watching the somewhat horrifying scene in the room.
"Sure enough, another life was lost." Guangyou rushed to the second floor, looked into the room, and sighed with frowns.

This time the vacation plans were disrupted again.

Damn.

"What's the matter? Xiaolan, what happened?" Yuanzi also came to the second floor after Xiaoai. When she saw Xiaolan sitting on the ground, she asked quickly.

And Xiaolan just slowly raised her hand and pointed to the room, without making any verbal response.

When she saw the scene in the room, she was also a little frightened, "No way, how could this be?"

"Father!" Seeing his father's appearance, Akashi Hiroto suddenly became agitated, and took a small step back as if he couldn't believe it.

"Hey, what happened?"

The last person to come to the scene was Uncle Mao Li. When he saw the corpse hanging in the room, he was only slightly shocked for a moment before recovering.

Leaving aside anything else, Uncle Maori still has basic abilities.

After reacting, Uncle Mao Li stepped forward, observed the corpse and the situation around the corpse, then stretched out his hand, and gently pinched the corpse's feet.

"The body still has a little body temperature, but the toes have begun to show rigor."

Based on his own experience, Uncle Maori made a preliminary judgment:

"This state is about three to ten minutes after death."

"Judging from the situation at the scene, it was initially determined that death was caused by suffocation."
