Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 441 Murder on a Rainy Night
It was raining heavily. The villa complex was built on a cliff, one side facing the sea with a wide view, the other side facing the mountain with deep mountains and dense forests. If it was during the day, the scenery would be needless to say, but at night, especially on a thunderstorm night like this, the horror would be one of the best.

Therefore, even Conan only chased for a few steps and stopped at the edge of the forest, not going deeper. Of course, this was also inseparable from Shimizu Koji's repeated warnings to him.

"Didn't you catch me?"

The rain splashed, and Conan turned around and saw Shimizu Koji chasing him in the rain.

A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he asked bluntly: "Qingshui, why are you running behind me?"

"Don't you think that place needs a man more than here?"

Koji Shimizu was not annoyed, he just spoke lightly and signaled Conan with his eyes.

Conan looked at Sonoko and Xiaolan, who were standing in front of the window and wanted to come out but were too scared to move. A rare look of embarrassment appeared on their little faces.

"Uh, sorry."

"Let's not talk about this. Miss Ayako is here. How is she?"

Hearing this, Conan glanced at Tetsuji Tozawa, whose face was smashed on the ground, took a deep breath, slowly bent down to try the comic broadcast, and then shook his head gently.

"uncle!"

"Uncle! Uncle!"

"Wait a minute, Ayako, calm down first and don't touch the body. Xiaolan, go find something like a tent. If there is a tent here, that would be the best. Try to preserve the scene as much as possible."

"Ah, a tent. Yes, yes, I'll get it. Xiaolan, let's go together."

Sonoko, who was still in the villa, felt as if she had been pardoned. Although the person who died was Tetsuji Tozawa, she really didn't want to go out at all under such circumstances, so she quickly pulled Xiaolan to get the tent.

And Shimizu Koji stopped Suzuki Ayako from touching the corpse in a businesslike manner, as if he had completely forgotten that Suzuki Ayako had just held him back.

His serious attitude surprised Conan a little. He thought Shimizu Koji would not be interested in the murder case.

Even the case yesterday was just...
After being distracted for a while, Conan still didn't figure it out, but this kind of thing naturally wouldn't make him suspicious. Instead, it aroused his fighting spirit. He also wanted to have a good competition with Shimizu Koji.

However, Shimizu Koji never thought of competing with him, and he still doesn't think so now.

But just like what Shimizu Koji said to the detective girl Sera Masumi before, these guys who call themselves detectives always impose their own ideas on others.
Koji Shimizu didn't know that Conan had already been motivated to fight. Even if he knew, he would just laugh it off, because there would be almost no unexpected circumstances in this case.

Soon, after Sonoko and Xiaolan brought the tent, they left Tetsuji Tozawa's body as it was in the heavy rain. Then, Xiaolan and Sonoko helped Suzuki Ayako, who was crying, back to the room, while Shimizu Koji and Conan, who were already soaked like two drowned rats, set out for the Tozawa family villa.

"It shouldn't be a problem if we leave them in the villa."

"You actually thought of caring about the people behind you? If you're worried, we can just go back and wait for the police to come. Anyway, there's a high probability that we won't find anything in the villa."

Conan glanced at the dark Toizawa Villa, hesitated for a moment, looked at Shimizu Koji again, and finally nodded, "Okay then - let's go back and wait and see."

"But in this kind of weather, even for the police, it would be difficult to drive here."

"Then what else? You plan to catch the murderer before the police arrive. Although Ayako recognized the man wearing a mask and a hat as Tomizawa Yuzo at a glance, it's dark in the dark. How can anyone be 100% sure?"

"Besides, even if it was him, he couldn't possibly stay here and sleep in this villa~."

Koji Shimizu spoke lightly, his tone was quite relaxed, because now he finally had an umbrella to hold, instead of having to wipe his face after saying a few words.

What he said was naturally the truth without any ulterior motive. Although Suzuki Ayako didn't say anything just now, based on Ayako's action just now, it can be basically confirmed that the murderer is Tomizawa Yuzo.

However, he had no idea what Suzuki Ayako was thinking, because in Shimizu Koji's opinion, he had just gone up and caught the person red-handed, which was almost the best outcome. He even indirectly fulfilled Suzuki Ayako's original "unwelcome request".

But at the critical moment, Suzuki Ayako quietly pulled him back.
The more beautiful a woman is, the more thoughtful she is. The same goes for Vermouth and Suzuki Ayako. If it weren't for their very different backgrounds, Shimizu Koji really thinks they should sit down and become friends.

Koji Shimizu and Conan turned back to the Suzuki family's villa. Conan went to say hello to Xiaolan and the others, while Koji Shimizu went straight upstairs to his room to take a shower and change clothes.

Suzuki Ayako's eyes were a little red from crying. In the living room, Sonoko and Xiaolan were by her side comforting her.

Because for Suzuki Ayako, it was not just about her father-in-law's death, but also about her fiancé being a murderer.

This is a tragic drama of a father and son killing each other. There is no doubt that, coupled with her identity as the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family, this news will definitely cause an uproar throughout Japan.

Of course, the prerequisite is that it can be reported.

Unless something unexpected happens, it is most likely not possible.

After all, all these newspapers and media, big and small, are watchdogs of the chaebols. In any case, Koji Shimizu knows that the Nichimi TV station where Rena Mizunashi works is the private asset of a certain consortium.

"Ms. Ayako, please accept my condolences."

"Uuuuuu——"

Koji Shimizu remained silent, he was really silent.

Women are born actors.

"Xiao Lan, have you called the police?"

When he heard Shimizu Koji calling him, although he didn't know why even though Sonoko was there, Shimizu Koji ignored him.

But anyway, whenever it comes to calling the police, it seems like everyone will subconsciously come to her. However, Xiaolan herself naturally doesn't notice this, she has become accustomed to it.

Facing Shimizu Koji's inquiry, Xiaolan pursed her lips and hesitated and said with some embarrassment: "The call went through, but the police said that the earliest they can arrive may be tomorrow morning."

This was not what Koji Shimizu had expected. Although it was impossible for the police in every place to be as incompetent as the Tokyo police, they were not much better.

If it were him, he would also refuse to go out on the scene in this horrible weather where landslides could happen at any time.

"Well, in that case, if you want to rest, go and rest first. I will be in charge of the alert and security tonight, and you can rest in peace."

Koji Shimizu took on so much responsibility and seemed very capable. Sonoko and Xiaolan's eyes lit up. They were actually very sleepy. Although they had suffered such a big shock, they had now recovered, especially Xiaolan. She had not slept well last night and her eyelids were drooping.

So, without any excuses, everyone sat with Suzuki Ayako in the living room for a while, and then they sent Suzuki Ayako back to her room together.

After seeing off Suzuki Ayako, Sonoko couldn't help but sigh. She felt a little sorry for her sister, but since things had come to this point, there was nothing anyone could do.

"Then, thank you for your hard work, Koji (Shimizu-san)."

"Do not worry."

Everyone said goodbye to each other in the corridor and went back to their rooms to rest.

Even Conan was no exception, because it was raining heavily and late at night, and he could do nothing. Since Koji Shimizu had taken the initiative to be responsible for security, he certainly would not let Koji Shimizu down.

Well, even if he wanted to let her down, he couldn't, because Xiaolan dragged him away by his ears~~~.
