Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 88 Suddenly Entering Snowstorm Villa Mode
Mutsumi Nishikawa died in the studio.

This was indeed a bit beyond Haruhiko's expectations. He thought that Nishikawa Mutsumi gave up her murderous intention only after escaping from the castle. It seemed more like she was forced to give up her murderous intention after being killed.

As for the murderer...

Could it be someone from the Mamiya family, seeking revenge for his wife who died four years ago?
It's not impossible.

But why didn't the murderer dispose of the body?
Even if it is just thrown into the tunnel, it is better than leaving it in the studio.

Haruhiko couldn't figure out the reason for the time being.

But he was someone who was used to seeing crime scenes.

He reacted faster than Mamiya Mitsuru and stopped others from coming in and destroying the scene.

Except that Conan activated the "100% arrival at the scene" skill and squeezed in through the crowd.

Everyone else was standing in the corridor outside the door, whispering to each other about who was responsible for Mutsumi Nishikawa's death.

However, the maids subconsciously looked at Takato Mamiya with suspicion.

Because when they rushed into the room just now, many people had already seen the large-scale photos in Takahito Mamiya's room.

This also confirmed that he did have some strange habits, and it was very likely that he attacked the two little girls as Haruhiko said.

Therefore, people are more willing to believe that such people are more likely to become murderers.

After coming out of the room, Mamiya Mitsuru showed the aura of a head of the family.

He first had someone restrain Takato Mamiya to prevent him from escaping.

During the process, Mamiya Noble Lady did not resist, but just kept saying that he did not kill the person.

Then, following Haruhiko's instructions, he sealed the door to the crime scene, preventing anyone from entering to prevent the clues at the scene from being destroyed.

After doing all this, the group took Takato Mamiya back to the restaurant on the first floor.

Mamiya Mitsuru instructed Tabata to call the police, and all that was left was to wait for the police to arrive.

Before this, Mitsuru Mamiya was still hesitating whether to call the police to search for Mutsumi Nishikawa's whereabouts, fearing that it would affect the family's image if it got out.

There is no way not to call the police this time.

Even if she was the murderer who committed arson and murder four years ago, it was a living life after all, and it was impossible to cover it up like this.

As Mamiya Mitsuru was waiting anxiously, Tabata came over with a grim expression and said, "Master Aman, the phone line might have been struck by lightning. I can't get through."

Because this place is remote, there is no mobile phone signal, and only the villa’s phone can communicate with the outside world.

Now that the phone line is down, there is no way to call the police.

Mamiya Mitsuru thought about it and felt that he had to contact the police as soon as possible.

The sooner this matter is dealt with, the smaller the subsequent impact will be.

So he asked Tabata and the new maid, Naomi Yamagishi, to drive down the mountain to contact the police.

The two were quite happy to go, and seemed not to want to stay in this castle where someone had just died.

However, just when Mamiya Mitsuru was discussing with everyone how to deal with Mamiya Takato, Tabata and Yamagishi Naomi came back.

Mamiya Mitsuru frowned: "What's wrong? Is the road outside difficult to walk on?"

Tabata's expression was a little strange. "The road conditions are indeed bad. It's raining too hard, but if we drive slowly, we can still get down the mountain. However..."

"But what?" Mamiya Mitsuru frowned.

"But all the cars can't start, as if they were deliberately sabotaged." Tabata said with a wry smile.

...

As soon as this news came out, everyone felt shrouded in a haze.

The other party cut off the telephone lines and destroyed the car, clearly not wanting the people in the castle to contact the outside world.

Is the murderer trying to buy himself time to escape?

That would be fine if that were the case.

But what if the murderer still wants to continue killing?

No one can guarantee what purpose the person who killed Mutsumi Nishikawa had.

After hearing this, Conan immediately borrowed an umbrella from the gardener Tabata, pushed open the door and ran towards the doctor's parking space.

After checking, it was found that the doctor's car could not be started.

And he saw a clear new cut on the damaged connecting line.

Conan originally wanted to check whether there were any traces left by the murderer nearby.

But the rain was so heavy that the footprints could not remain for long before they were covered by the rain.

Conan returned to the castle's restaurant disappointed.

I saw Mitsumasa Mamiya discussing with his servants what to do next.

Professor Agasa led the Junior Detective League and Haibara Ai to stand in the corner without interrupting.

Conan looked around and suddenly found that Kousaka Haruhiko had suddenly disappeared.

Could it be that this guy found some clues?

Conan quickly ran to Huihara Ai and asked in a low voice: "Where is that guy Kosaka? Why isn't he here?"

"I didn't see it." Huiyuan Ai frowned and took a step back, "And stay away from me."

Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking, you and that guy Kousaka are hugging and cuddling each other, how can you not get close to me?
However, Conan only dared to complain in his heart.

He still has to rely on Haibara Ai as an antidote, but he can't afford to offend her.

Haibara Ai had already noticed that Haruhiko was missing. Although she was standing next to Professor Agasa with her shoulders folded, she seemed to be listening to Mamiya Mitsuru discussing what to do next.

But in reality, her eyes kept looking towards the corridor and the door, as if she was very worried about Haruhiko's safety.

At this time, Gong Man finally came to a conclusion.

Because the rain was so heavy, it was not realistic to walk down the mountain to call the police, so I could only wait until tomorrow morning to find a way to contact the police.

As for how to deal with the suspect Takato Mamiya, Mitsuru Mamiya also gave a more acceptable solution.

"My dear, since something like this happened in your room, I have to let you down tonight.

If you really didn't kill anyone, the police will investigate everything when they arrive." Mamiya Mitsuru soothed.

Takato Mamiya did not resist, but let himself be manipulated with a dejected look on his face.

Tabata tied up Takato Mamiya tightly and locked her in a guest room on the second floor.

Mamiya Mitsuru arranged for the servants to close the doors and windows of the castle, and then returned to his room to rest. Conan also followed Professor Agasa and others back to the guest room.

The young detectives gathered in a circle in front of the bed near the window to discuss the news about the Nishikawa Mutsumi murder case.

Haibara Ai did not participate. She sat on the opposite bed with her shoulders folded, her legs in white slippers dangling back and forth.

With a creak, Haruhiko pushed the door open and walked in.

Haibara Ai seemed relieved to see him return safely, but she didn't take the initiative to come up and say hello.

Conan, on the other hand, ran over excitedly: "Did you find something?"

Haruhiko shook his head and said that he saw something interesting, but he didn't know if it was related to the case.

Then he ignored Conan's questioning and walked to the detective team and Dr. Agasa, telling everyone that it was not certain whether the murderer was Takato Mamiya, but it was also possible that it was other members of the castle.

It could even be someone outside.

So it’s best for everyone to sleep in the same room at night so that everyone can take care of each other if anything happens.

Dr. Agasa also felt that this was a safer approach. If Haruhiko was around, the murderer would have to think twice even if he wanted to do it.

In addition, he just helped Conan to fully charge his shoes, and used a watch-shaped anesthetic needle to restore Conan's fighting ability.

In this way, as long as everyone does not disperse, it will be absolutely safe.

They said they slept together, but it was just Haruhiko who moved into this room.

However, there was a small problem. Although the guest room was spacious, there were not enough beds.

Haruhiko didn't care. He brought the bedding from his room and spread it on the floor at the door.

I plan to sleep on the floor here.

In this way, if the murderer came in, he would definitely pass by him.

By the way, Conan, the "second strongest force" in this room, chose to sleep on the bed by the window.

This way, if someone comes in through the window, he can react immediately.

However, Haibara Ai was not very happy about Haruhiko sleeping on the floor.

She insisted on finding Naomi Yamagishi and asked her to find a small folding bed for Haruhiko from the storage room.

Haruhiko leaned against the door frame, looking at Haibara Ai who was kneeling on the folding bed to help him make the bed, and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

After cleaning up, everyone went to bed early.

Needless to say, Conan and Dr. Agasa were already exhausted after being imprisoned in the secret passage.

The Young Detectives were knocked unconscious and chased, and they were exhausted.

The result was that as soon as Haruhiko came back from washing up, he could hear snoring in the room.

He closed the door gently and lay down on the bed that Haibara Ai had made for him.

I began to think about what secrets were hidden behind this sudden murder.

Just now, after he came out of the scene, he went to several places to investigate and saw some interesting clues.

But for the time being, there is no way to piece together the whole story.

There were still a few things he couldn't figure out, so Haruhiko thought about it for half the night and decided to wait until everyone was asleep before sneaking out to investigate.

After all, passive defense is far inferior to active attack.

Another thing was that he discovered that after the rice cooker had finished exorcising the evil spirits, it didn't give any rewards.

All skills remain in their original state.

This is the first time Haruhiko has encountered such a situation.

Could it be that Nishikawa Mutsumi's death escalated the situation? Is it necessary to resolve the subsequent incidents?

He was a little confused.

But whether it is to gain experience points for the salvation of evil spirits, to protect everyone's safety, or to satisfy the thrill of being a detective.

Haruhiko felt that he had to continue investigating.

...

It was soon midnight, and the rain was hitting the glass windows. I don’t know whether Conan, who was lying by the window, was asleep or not.

Haruhiko slowly stood up and prepared to sneak out to investigate the clues.

But as soon as he sat up from the bed, he found Haibara Ai sitting beside her and Ayumi's bed, looking at him with a complicated expression.

Is she suffering from insomnia?

He didn't think too much about it, smiled at her and was about to walk out the door.

Behind him, Ai Haibara jumped off the bed, walked barefoot on the floor, ran over and tugged at Haruhiko's sleeve.

Just as Haruhiko was about to speak, he saw Haibara Ai look back at the sleeping group, then put her index finger on her soft lips, signaling him not to speak.

Then she looked around, her eyes finally fixed on the raised quilt on Haruhiko's bed.

Ai Haibara hesitated for a moment, pointed at the quilt, and then climbed onto the bed.

She was half-kneeling beside the bed, adjusting the quilt. From Haruhiko's angle, he could just see the soles of her white bare feet.

Unfortunately, the white bare feet only flashed by, and then she crawled into the quilt.

Haruhiko was stunned.

I wondered what this guy wanted to do.
Last time, I almost stepped on him to death due to a misunderstanding. What tricks is he playing now?
Haruhiko made up his mind that he would not be fooled this time.

He stood there with his arms folded, watching the thin white blanket on the bed bulge out into a big bulge, as if a kitten was hiding inside.

There was a stalemate for a moment.

Haibara Ai in the quilt seemed to be getting impatient. She lifted a corner of the quilt, revealing half of her angry little face.

The meaning seemed to be to let him go quickly.

Haruhiko frowned, his eyes falling on her slender arms that were as white as jade.

He thought about it and decided that since there were so many people here, she wouldn't dare to do anything excessive to him.

So Haruhiko lifted the corner of the quilt and crawled in.
