Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 664 It's No Coincidence

"When I noticed that there was nothing on the ruts that I was looking for, the murderer's method of committing the crime had already been figured out. However, at that time, I could think of looking at the ruts... This coincided with my own thoughts. Brat..."

Frowning tightly, Hattori Heiji looked at Conan's eyes when he was staring at Oki Ayako at this time, and couldn't help feeling a certain familiar feeling from it——

"I'll give you 10 minutes to consider the incident..."

At this time, with a slightly satisfied expression, Oki Ayako smiled mysteriously, held the cigarette with her slender fingers, moved the cigarette to her front and flicked the ashes, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, saying as if threatening:
"If you don't want me to say your name, you'd better bow your head and confess!"

Saying that, Oki Ayako turned and walked out of the room without looking back——

"Wait! Ayako! Where are you going?"

At this time, seeing Oki Ayako leaving alone after making the statement just now, Toba Kento who was on the side immediately stepped forward and asked nervously.

On the other hand, Ayako Oki just replied lightly, "Toilet!" After that, she continued to walk outside the house.

"Recklessly!"

Regarding this, Kento Toba, who seemed worried, immediately followed up anxiously, and advised with a worried tone:
"If you act alone, the murderer will..."

"Oh? Then won't you protect me?"

However, before Kento Toba finished speaking, Ayako Oki interrupted the other party's words and replied in a calm tone.

"Speaking of which..."

Just like that, the two of them walked out of the room together as they spoke.

Seeing this, after watching the two disappear at the door of the room, Fujisawa Toshiaki who was present glanced at Kogoro behind him with disdain, and said unceremoniously:

"Haha, even a famous detective is useless, the layman girl solved the case first..."

"Hmph! She's just playing tricks."

Impatient, Kogoro retorted in this way, completely unbelievable that Ayako Oki would know who the murderer was.

But for this, Conan on the side did not agree with this statement. Looking at the direction in which Ayako Oki left, Conan said with a serious expression:
"No, she must have found some clues that we don't know!"

"Well, maybe..."

With a little deep meaning, Hattori Heiji looked down at Conan who said this, and responded like this——

"what?"

Sensing the sight of Hattori Heiji next to him, Conan was stunned for a moment, and then felt that he seemed to be acting too obviously.

However, before Conan could react to this, Xiao Lan seemed to remember something, and suddenly said to everyone:

"I thought about it, Miss Ayako is a little weird during the day."

"what?"

Because of Xiaolan's interruption, Conan immediately turned to ask, showing a childlike smile, and drew the attention of the people present to what Xiaolan said:

"Sister Xiaolan, what's so strange?"

So, under the eyes of everyone, Xiaolan explained:
"After lunch today, I saw her when I was about to go back to the room. When she saw me, she panicked and hid the paper-like things behind her. I thought it was distributed last night. Everyone's Sherlock Holmes question."

"Test questions?"

Feeling puzzled, Conan and Hattori Heiji couldn't help saying in surprise.

At the same time, following Xiaolan's words, the rest of the people present also began to recall some details of what happened yesterday——

"By the way, she didn't seem to come for lunch."

Astrologer Toda Maria first thought of this, and Fujisawa Toshiaki was surprised by this, and began to guess:

"Could it be that he sneaked into our room while we were eating..."

"Cheating?"

Hearing this, Kawazu Ikuo, who was very shocked, couldn't help saying angrily.

"Really, how could there be such a woman!"

Kogoro also began to disdain this.

But as soon as he said this, outside the door of the room, Kento Toba, who had gone out with Ayako Oki just now, happened to come back.

At this moment, seeing Kento Toba who just came back, several other guests present who participated in the tour group rushed up impatiently and asked him:

"Who! Who is the murderer!"

"Did you ask her secretly?"

"Tell me now!"

Fujisawa Toshiaki, Toda Maria, and Kawazu Ikuo three people, you talk to each other, and the successive inquiries surprised Toba Kento who just came back.

For this reason, Kento Toba could only feel helpless, and replied:

"Ah... this... I have a question, but she said she can't even tell me, and then she hid in the bathroom."

"Damn it! What time is it, it's really tantalizing!"

Hearing this, Fujisawa Toshiaki said angrily.

And Kogoro continued to maintain his opinion——

"So, it has been said that she is bluffing!"

In this regard, hearing what Kogoro said, Hattori Heiji could only look helpless——

Sure enough, this is a confused uncle...

"Hey! Sister Hitomi!"

And at this time, after listening to the conversation just now, Conan, who started to think for a moment, suddenly asked the waitress Hitomi Iwai:

"Who didn't eat lunch yesterday besides Ayako-san?"

"Oh, there are two more people..."

Hitomi Iwai thought for a while, and immediately gave the answer——

"Mr. Kento Toba, and Miss Nanako Shimizu."

Hitomi Iwai explained while looking at the two people on the side.

"Mr. Toba and sister Ayako seem to have a good relationship. What is their relationship?"

Conan continued to ask.

"They seem to be a couple, but they don't sleep in the same room. Because he is afraid that they will discuss the content of the test questions, the master deliberately arranged them far away."

Hitomi Iwai explained.

As for this, after listening to these, Conan already had some thoughts about this incident in his mind, and then Conan walked up to Kento Toba and asked him to confirm:
"Did sister Ayako come to your room at noon?"

"No, I wrote test questions in my room during the day, and no one came."

Toba Kento replied in a very flat manner.

Hearing that, after having the current information, Conan's gaze focused sharply to the side. Those few people who had not stayed in the restaurant with him and others before the crime happened, Fujisawa Toshiaki, Kawazu Ikuo, Toshi Maria Tian and Nanako Shimizu——

"So, Ms. Ayako must have seen important clues related to the murder in someone's room, so she said that just now. The only suspects are those four candidates who don't have an alibi... Therefore, the murderer must be one of them!"

Analyzing in this way, Conan kept thinking about various possibilities in his mind, trying to find a breakthrough.

However, Hattori Heiji, who has been paying attention to Conan's successive inquiries from just now, and now, when Conan focused on Fujisawa Toshiaki and the four of them, looked a little serious as he silently watched this scene——

"That's right. From the time of the incident, what this child has done is a very professional investigation, and every point of entry coincides with his own thinking. This is by no means a coincidence! It's just that at present, You haven't solved the murderer's method of creating an alibi...

"Okay, since I want to understand that the murderer's method is based on the hint given by the incident that the detective brother told me before, then if you also know how to read this story, what kind of reaction will you make!

"Let me wait and see!"

Silently, Hattori Heiji thought so...
