Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 1817 1816 [Maya Hashimoto: He slandered me! 】

Kurosawa and Ma and Inozuka Taro looked confused: "..." It's none of their business, they have never entered this theater since they came to the island, whether the hanging rope of the lamp has aged, what does it have to do with innocent islanders relation!

  Sonoko Suzuki felt a little guilty when she remembered that this was her own island.

  At this moment, Jiang Xia seemed to have discovered something.

  He walked to the side, picked up the thick lamp rope through the handkerchief, and took a closer look: "There is a cut on it. The lamp fell not because of poor quality, but because someone cut it off on purpose."

   "It seems that this is not an accident, but a deliberate murder."

  Several students were stunned, and Qi Shushua felt goosebumps on his back, and his expression was more panicked than before—maybe some people are not afraid of ghosts, but everyone is afraid of a murderer hiding around.

   "But..." Mao Lilan touched the goose bumps on his arm, and whispered weakly, "But just now, everyone was in the restaurant except the deceased."

   Indeed.

   Then things suddenly became weirder. No one has time to commit crimes. Could it be that a ghost really cut the hanging rope?

  In the chaos, Kurosawa and Ma and Inozuka Taro glanced at each other quietly, feeling that they knew the answer: "..." No, it wasn't a ghost at all.

   First of all, there are no ghosts in the world.

  Secondly, only they know that there is actually another person hiding on the island, and only that person has enough time to commit crimes... What the **** is that **** George doing! Isn't it good to hide in the room honestly? Don't cause trouble for them!

  Thinking that the guy who always pretended to be honest had secretly stabbed such a big basket behind their backs just now, the two of them couldn't help but have a killing intent, and they planned to go back to him later to settle the score.

  ... But now, we still have to fool this group of students.

Inozuka Taro paced back and forth, pretending to be in trouble: "Although this island is not big, there are usually only one or two people guarding it. If any criminals come up, it's hard to find out—maybe a murderer sneaked onto the island. That's it. Now, you go back to rest first, we must find a way to catch that guy from the island!"

   First make a statement, and then fool around during the search, you can cover up the matter of Hashimoto Maya. There is no better place to hide people than this island—if you are angry, you are angry, but they are the ones in charge after all, and they can't really kill Hashimoto Maya in a fit of anger before consulting their superiors.

   Inozuka Taro felt that his response was very appropriate.

   But at this moment, a voice came from the side.

The first-grade elementary school student wearing glasses raised his head and asked naively: "Uncle, shouldn't the first reaction be to call the police when you suddenly find out about a murder case? Why do you think about how to catch the criminal by yourself? Do you know anything?" Concealment?"

   "..."

   Inozuka Taro thumped in his heart, and the murderous aura on his body became thicker, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glance at him.

  Almost at the same time, Belmode also noticed the killing intent that Inozuka Taro couldn't suppress for a moment. She pushed her glasses, and the aroma of apples on her body became stronger silently.

  Jiang Xia looked to the left, then to the right: "..." It was a harvest night, and it would be perfect with some iced black tea.

  The atmosphere became a little stiff for a while.

But soon, Kuisawa and Ma found a way to help the pig teammate clean up the mess. He showed a helpless smile: "Little friend, it's not that we don't want to call the police, it's just that the thunderstorm is too close and broke the phone. And this On such a stormy day, the yacht will not be able to go out to sea at all - in other words, we may be temporarily stuck here, so we will have to solve the problem ourselves."

  Conan glanced at him and seemed to feel that this statement was quite reasonable, so he nodded and said nothing.

  The two islanders left in a hurry.

  The students were still immersed in the news that "there may be an unknown murderer hiding on the island", their faces turned pale.

   But things have come to this point, and they can't run away. They can only go back to the old hotel first, hoping that this bad night will pass as soon as possible.

   Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the entrance of the theater, an unexpected situation appeared again.

  I don’t know who first noticed something wrong: “Why is there a window on the 4th floor that is lit? I remember that everyone lives on the 2nd and 3rd floors. There should be no people on the 4th floor, right?”

   There was a dead silence.

  Jiang Xia, as the only bright detective present, touched his chin and said calmly, "Go and have a look."

  …

the other side.

  Kurosawa and Ma and Inozuka Taro have hurried back to the hiding place of Maya Hashimoto: "Look at what you have done!"

  Hashimoto Maya hid quietly in the house all day, not even daring to turn on the lights. Hearing such a sentence suddenly, he had a bad feeling in his heart: "?"

   Inozuka Taro rolled up his sleeves aggressively: "Why did you kill that female student? You wanted to cause trouble for us, so you can take advantage of the chaos and escape?"

   "..." Hashimoto Maya said in his heart that it was true, "Someone died?"

   "Ask what you know!" Inozuka Taro punched the table.

   Kurosawa and Ma found something wrong. Hashimoto Maya's body was too clean, there was no rain at all, and there were no similar marks on the ground. He asked suspiciously, "Did you really not leave the room today?"

  Hashimoto Maya wanted to snort coldly.

   But thinking that Uzo might be nearby, he could only take a deep breath, trying to show a peaceful look: "Of course not. First tell me what happened outside."

  At a time like this, he has the air of a confidant of a cadre.

   Kurosawa and Ma hesitated for a while, and decided to clarify the situation first, so as not to cause trouble.

  …

  “…the chandelier fell and killed someone?”

   After listening to Maya Hashimoto, she always felt that this technique was somewhat familiar.

  He searched in his mind, and suddenly remembered something—Ireland's most respected "Mr. Piscoe", used similar methods to commit murder in his last mission. At that time, he shot down the chandelier in the banquet hall, killed a member of parliament, and successfully cleared the mission target of the organization.

  Unfortunately, because of his heroic posture when he raised his gun and shot the hanging rope of the chandelier, he was unfortunately photographed by the reporters present, and Mr. Pisco was also silenced by the organization afterwards.

   At first glance, it seems that everything was just an accident.

  But Hashimoto Maya remembered that Ireland had always been brooding over this matter, and was very sure that it was Uzo's secret manipulation.

  Maya Hashimoto: "..." Speaking of which, Uzo seems to really like to hit people. Mr. Ireland was smashed one, two, three, four times... Could it be that this case is really related to that terrible cadre?

  Although I have long guessed in my heart that these students landed on the island, there is Uzo's shadow behind them. But once this conjecture was gradually confirmed, Maya Hashimoto's heart couldn't help but sink.
