I'm in Mihua, and all the ladies like me.

But in the next second, his eyes suddenly widened without warning, and at the same time, his mouth grew as wide as possible. He pinched his neck with both hands and made a whooshing sound. His eyeballs were covered with blood and almost bulged out.

"Wait a minute, he doesn't look right!" Mouri Kogoro said in surprise.

It lasted like this for about five seconds. Zhu Shan's head tilted and there was no movement. Only his fat face still retained the ferocious look before his death.

"……what?"

Motegi also opened his mouth slightly, and an illusory question mark slowly appeared above his head.

No, this is too tricky. One second I was still there, but the next second I was gone.

What kind of Wang Situ are you?

Because it was so outrageous that it looked like an act, Motegi didn't even confirm the truth or falsehood immediately. Instead, he looked up at Serabel, who had the same expression with a little disbelief.

"This is good, he was scared to death by you."

"...How is that possible? Why didn't you say that he was touched to death by you?"

Serabel frowned, put away her cane and leaned over to sniff, then put on white gloves and felt for her pulse, her expression even weirder.

"He really died."

"Record the time of death, 25:22 minutes and [-] seconds."

Bai Ma Tan, who was sitting across from the long dining table, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time and said.

Motegi scratched his hair and looked puzzled: "But how did he die?"

"Judging from the symptoms before death, he should have been poisoned."

Ikumi Gunada, who used to be a coroner, came over and said. She leaned forward gracefully and pinched Ogami Zhushan's mouth open with her hands, and waved her hand to attract air into his nose.

"There is an obvious smell of almonds in the mouth. It is potassium cyanate poisoning. But the question is how he was poisoned. Everyone here eats the same thing, and I did not find a poison container in Mr. Ogami's mouth."

"...I remember he was chewing his fingers."

Serabel recalled it carefully and said.

"Probably when the tape was placed over the code a few minutes ago, he kept biting his thumb and wouldn't put it down."

"Is that a personal thinking habit?" Motegi squinted, "Some people are used to doing some actions when thinking, such as twirling their beards, or holding their chins and looking out the window... But you, brother, if I remember correctly, you seemed to have hit Mr. Ogami on the mouth with your cane just now. Could it be that you poisoned the cane?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar cane appeared in front of him.

Serabel shrugged: "If you think I poisoned the cane, you can pick a place that hasn't been touched just now and lick it. Do you want to try it?"

"Well...then I think it's better to forget it."

A man who understands current affairs is a hero. Motegi raised his hands and decisively chose to give up.

"Are you two elementary school students..."

On the other side, Ikumi Gunda, who noticed the argument between the two, shook his head helplessly.

And just when she took out a copper coin from her wallet and prepared to test the poison, the complexion of this fair-skinned and beautiful long-legged sister suddenly changed. ?

Chapter 266 Another accomplice

"Okay, now that it's over, let's all go to bed early today."

Just when the murderer who was thought to have been found died suddenly and mysteriously, and when it was time to investigate the case all night long and bring the truth to light, Serabel said something beyond everyone's expectations.

It's like the plot in a horror game has just passed a small climax, and when it's about to turn to another plot to reach the real climax, the protagonist somehow comes to the save point and sleeps on the bed in the safe house.

Are you...serious?

"Wait a minute, I want to take a rest, but the puzzle in the annex has not been solved yet, right?" Mouri Kogoro looked confused.

"So what if we untie it." Serabel spread her hands and mouthed towards the corpse of Dashang Zhushan on the ground, "He is the one who hired us to come here to find the treasure. Now the employer is dead, you Even if I find the treasure, I can’t tell him. The most I can do is burn paper and give it to him, but it’s a pity that I’m an atheist and don’t believe in the existence of spirits in heaven after death.”

"All right……"

Mouri Kogoro rubbed the back of his head in disbelief.

This is indeed the case. A secret is only valuable if someone can tell it. If there is no one who can tell it, then the secret is worse than a roll of toilet paper.

"But regarding Mr. Ogami's death..."

"That's a different story."

Serabel yawned.

"Although his death was very strange, no one has asked me to investigate the cause of his death so far, and I didn't become a detective because of my excessive curiosity. Rather than spend a long time doing this for nothing, let me finally say it. Everyone is having fun, why don’t you let yourself go to bed early, take a shower, lie on the bed and check your phone, and be more relaxed and comfortable?"

It’s completely a fishing declaration...

After hearing Serabel's words, such thoughts flashed through the minds of everyone present.

However, Yukiko agreed with the matter of resting early, and she nodded quickly.

"Indeed, everyone has gone through a lot today, so why not take a rest early."

"Well, that's exactly what you said."

As if he was finally persuaded, Motegi relaxed after thinking for a moment.

"Then let's all come here today. As for Detective Ogami, we'll leave it to the police tomorrow."

"I agree." Gunda Ikumi didn't even raise her head.

"That's fine." Bai Ma Tan smiled.

Seeing that one and two people somehow reached a consensus on fishing, Mouri Kogoro scratched his forehead stupidly.

"Then... let's do it this way, since everyone has no objections."

"In that case, why don't you go to the bridge and take a look first?"

Suddenly someone suggested.

The person who spoke was Senjian Yudai. She did not object to the rest proposal that was unanimously agreed upon by everyone. She just said that she would go to the bombed wooden bridge to take a look.

As soon as the words came out, Serabel immediately raised her eyes and glanced at Motegi. Motegi glanced at Gunda, and Gunda turned to Hakuba Tan.

In less than a moment, the three of them had made eye contact, and their expressions returned to normal.

Motegi coughed lightly.

"Okay, since Sister Chiyo has said so, but it's still raining outside, and the walk from here to the bridge is not short, not to mention that if nothing else happens, our cars parked at the front door should have been Blow up.”

"As for cars, I remember seeing one outside the back door before. Maybe it hasn't been blown up yet." Baima Tan held his chin in thought.

"is it?"

"that……"

Just as everyone was discussing how to get to the broken bridge, the voice of the maid in the restaurant sounded weakly.

"The car you are talking about parked at the back door should be mine. When I went to the kitchen to get food, I didn't feel an explosion at the back door. I think it hasn't been blown up yet. I can borrow it if you need it. .”

"That's great! Let's go to the back door and have a look!"

After saying this, Motegi stood up and walked out of the restaurant first, while the rest of the people followed.

Seeing Senjian Yoyo following the large army to the back door, Serabel reached out her hand vaguely and took the ten-yuan coin from Gunda Ikumi, and then gave it to Conan who "just happened to be passing by" next to him. , raising his eyebrows at the latter and giving him a "you know" look.

……

Ten minutes later, the only surviving vehicle in the entire annex parked quietly in the open space at the back entrance.

It was an ordinary family car, not very comfortable or high-performance, just a simple scooter.

But at this juncture, there is no room for them to be picky.

"Eh~ This car definitely can't accommodate all of us. There won't be room for all of us to sit in it." Motegi looked around and said, "How about we toss a coin and the one who gets heads will go together."

"I'll provide the coins!"

Conan actively took out his small wallet and scattered all the coins on the hood.

No more, no less, exactly six, one for each of Serabell, Moori Kogoro, Motegi Haruka, Gunda Ikumi, Hakuba Tan, and Senjian Shidai.

"Then take your positions and prepare to throw!"

With a command, the six coins flew upward together, then spun and fell together.

Serabel accurately caught the coin with the back of her hand, moved the hand covering it and looked at it.

"I'm positive."

Motegi's voice soon followed.

"I'm positive too."

Next is Mouri Kogoro.

"Me too."

Finally, Qianjian descended to the next generation.

"And I."

Exactly four people could fill this small mobility car.

Motegi Harushi took the lead and opened the door and got into the driver's seat. He skillfully stretched out his hand to pull the seat belt and fasten it.

"Okay, then I will drive... By the way, would you like to sit in the front, Chiyo-sama?"

"Yeah, yeah, Motegi, you really take care of the elderly."

Senjian Yushiro smiled and sat on the passenger seat.

Soon as all four people got on the car, the sound of the engine broke the silence at the back door of the villa, and the mobility car slowly started and drove towards the broken bridge.

Perhaps it was because the dark clouds had not cleared away after the rain. The forest at night was darker than that in the evening. The 5-minute drive to Motegi took nearly 10 minutes.

When they arrived, the sturdy wooden bridge that they remembered had completely collapsed, and more than 70.00% of the bridge body was missing, leaving only the charred traces of the fire.

And parked next to the trees on the other side of the bridge intact was the Audi that Serabel had foresighted not to drive over.

"Let's go down and take a look at the specific situation."

Motegi didn't turn off the car, but just turned off the lights. Then he used his mobile phone to illuminate the car and got Mouri Kogoro and Sera Bell out of the car to check.

Only one person, Qianjian Shandai, was left in the car.

The old man who was left alone in the car looked up through the front windshield at the people who were exploring the broken bridge in the hazy light in front of him. He put his hand into his clothes and actually took out a small timer. bomb.

And just when Senjian Shengdai was about to turn on the bomb timer, a face quietly emerged from the car window next to her in the darkness and was pressed against the car window glass.

"Yo, what is this doing?"

! ! ! ?

Chapter 267 The Truth of Two Years

Ten minutes later, the team that went to explore the situation at the broken bridge came back. The four people were safe and sound... No, to be precise, the three people who were safe and sound escorted Senjian Yudai, who was temporarily a prisoner, back to the annex.

In the familiar restaurant, Senjian Yushiro sat down at the dining table alone, with Serabel and Motegi Haruka standing on both sides, who seemed to be some kind of government agents.

Xiaolan and others, who had not participated in the coin tossing before, were naturally confused and had no idea what was going on.

Senjian Fangshiro didn't intend to explain anything, he just raised his head and looked at Serabel on his left side.

"When did you figure out it was me? Was it the coin toss?"

"No, in fact it was earlier than that." Serabel shook her head, "Probably when my previous mother-in-law proposed to go to the Broken Bridge to investigate the situation."

"Did you deliberately say that everyone should go to bed early today just to expose me?" Senjian Fangdai suddenly realized.

"That's basically it."

Serabel recalled.

"Actually, I did think that there was only one organizer of this dinner at first, but with the performance of Da Shang Zhushan when the tape was played and his subsequent death, I realized another problem."

"The story told in the tape is indeed false. It is just a foreshadowing to elicit the secret code to solve the mystery. However, the blood stains that can be seen everywhere in this annex are real."

"And according to my investigation, there are no relevant reports on the Internet about the tragedy that happened in this Dusk Villa. This means that it is most likely the same as what Zhu Shan analyzed at the time, and all the news was suppressed that year. ."

"Then the question arises. Since the news was suppressed back then, why was this treasure hunt dinner launched? The only people who know these contents are those related to the tragedy that occurred in this annex. And Judging from the behavior of Dashang Zhushan at that time, he obviously did not know what happened that year."

"So the result is very obvious. It should be that Dashang Zhushan has another accomplice, and it is an accomplice who knows much more than him and is equally eager to unlock the secret of the treasure."
