The Advent of the Infinite King

Before he could continue, Hattori Heiji interrupted: "Uncle, I've said it several times, the innkeeper is really dead."

Mori Kogoro disapproved, "How can you believe what the kid said."

"What did you say?" Hattori Heiji was dissatisfied.

Xie Chen thought to himself from the side: In short, judging from the location where Damu Lingzi died, she should also have taken it in the garage for that book.

In this way, the only doubt about the second murder is how the murderer who stayed in the house set the garage on fire.

Hattori Heiji was still complaining there: "I think a detective like you will only make things worse and worse."

"You're really rude!" Mao Lilan walked over with a cup of coffee, "Let me tell you, my dad can solve the case smoothly every time."

She put the coffee on the table fiercely, pinched her waist and said, "He always looks asleep when he solves the case, so everyone gives him the title of Sleeping Kogoro, right, Dad."

"Sleep?"

Xie Chen immediately screamed that it was not good, and what he was worried about happened, Hattori Heiji pulled Mao Lilan aside.

"Come here."

"what are you doing?"

Hattori Heiji asked in a low voice, "Where is that guy every time your father solves a case?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Who are you talking about?"

"It's the one who always circles around you..." Hattori Heiji pointed to Xie Chen who was eavesdropping, "He, that's him."

"Xie Chen?" Mao Lilan touched her chin with her fingertips and said, "Speaking of him, he doesn't seem to be there every time."

"Is it true?" Hattori Heiji seemed to have discovered something.

Xie Chen hurriedly waved his hands, while Mao Lilan said with a smile: "But he often comes out from behind my father to help him explain the reasoning."

"From behind him?" Hattori Heiji looked at Xie Chen, smiled maliciously and said, "Come out from behind him and help."

Xie Chen scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Because I like playing detective games..."

As soon as the voice fell, all the lights on the ceiling went out in vain, and the room fell into darkness.

"power cut!"

"Is it because of thunder?"

"No." Hitomi Iwai said loudly, "It's just a blown fuse."

Mori Kogoro said: "Go to the toolbox quickly, quickly."

"Damn it." Toshiaki Fujisawa lit the lighter, "There will be a power outage at this time."

He walked towards Hitomi Iwai with a ignited lighter, "Miss Iwai, use this for lighting."

Although the hotel lobby has floor-to-ceiling windows, the moonlight is so weak that it can't shine in at all. In the darkness, only the light of a lighter is moving slowly, like a dark flame.

Just as the fire was approaching the corridor, suddenly, Toshiaki Fujisawa let out a scream, the scream was breathtaking, and the light of the lighter was also extinguished, followed by a "snap", the sound of the window shattering.

"What's wrong?" Mori Kogoro shouted loudly, "What's going on?"

"What's that sound?"

"It's glass!"

"Hitomi Iwai, turn on the light!"

Hitomi Iwai pulled the switch, and the lights flashed on. Toshiaki Fujisawa, with an ice pick stuck in his right arm, fell to the ground and howled nonstop.

"Mr. Fujisawa! Why?"

"Dad." Mao Lilan called, "Look, the window is broken."

"Damn it." Looking at the heavy rain outside the house, Kogoro Mouri said angrily, "He broke the window and escaped!"

Also watching the heavy rain outside, the corners of Xie Chen and Hattori Heiji's mouths slowly raised. They firmly believed that the murderer was still in the room.

Hitomi Iwai asked while bandaging Toshiaki Fujisawa's wound, "Who the hell is it?"

Mori Kogoro said: "It's the innkeeper. The innkeeper who was killed in the first murder case is hiding in a corner of this house."

He said in a serious manner: "After burning Miss Lingzi to death in the garage, he is now attacking Mr. Fujisawa with an ice pick, and then broke the window to escape."

"Damn..." Toshiaki Fujisawa held the wound on his arm, gritted his teeth and said, "Why did the boss plot against me? When he was about to publish a book, I also helped him."

"Book?" Mori Kogoro asked suspiciously.

Fujisawa Toshiaki raised his head and said, "It's the Sherlock Holmes book he published at his own expense last year. I remember the title of the book is Irene Adler's Mocking."

Xie Chen frowned slightly. In his memory, Irene Adler was the only woman Holmes had ever loved.

In Conan Doyle's novels, Holmes' feelings for Irene Adler are restrained liking, calm analysis, and rational thinking.

Irene Adler is the only person who makes Holmes gender conscious. Holmes is genderless when facing Watson, Molly, Landlady, or King.

But Irene Adler made this great detective have mortal feelings to a certain extent.

Mori Kogoro had never heard of Irene Adler, so he said to Mao Lilan: "Okay, Xiaolan, hurry up and chase the boss who escaped from the window, hurry up."
