Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 90 The detective must stand up at the last moment to scare the murderer

After hearing the scream, Haruhiko immediately rushed to the scene.

But his action was too sudden, and the half-asleep Haibara Ai didn't react, but she still instinctively hugged Haruhiko's arm tightly and refused to let go.

This also caused Haruhiko to jump off the bed and run two steps before realizing that he couldn't speed up. Looking back, he saw Haibara Ai hanging on his arm like a sloth.

He stopped helplessly and pulled Haibara Ai off his arm.

He reached out again and pulled up the collar of her pajamas, which had slipped down slightly, revealing half of her snow-white shoulders: "Hurry up and get dressed. I'll go check the scene first."

At this time, Haibara Ai also came to her senses.

Noticing Conan and the detective team behind her getting up after hearing the noise, she told Haruhiko to be careful and quickly ran back to Ayumi and her bed.

Haruhiko opened the door and came out, following the direction of the sound he remembered, and soon found the crime scene.

Because it's easy to find.

Looking along the corridor on the second floor, you can see Yamagishi Naomi fallen outside the door from a long distance. She stared into the room with wide eyes, as if she saw something extremely terrifying.

Haruhiko determined the location of the crime scene and it seemed to be the room where Takato Mamiya was locked.

Did Nobuhito Mamiya commit suicide?
But wasn't he tied up? How did he untie the rope?
Or was he killed by the real murderer? But why would the murderer kill him? Wouldn't it be better to keep him to confuse the police? Wouldn't killing him just help the police eliminate a suspect?
With these doubts, Haruhiko walked to the door and looked inside.

The scene in the room made him even more confused.

Because it was a guest room, the layout was similar to the room I slept in before, with a large white bed, a dressing table and chair, and no other special decorations.

The only difference was that this time, a fat body lay on the bed, lying on its back on the pillow, staring at a corner of the ceiling with wide eyes. A sharp knife had opened a terrifying gash on its neck, and the blood had stopped flowing, but the pillow under its head had absorbed enough blood and swelled up like freshly baked bread.

Haruhiko didn't expect that the person who died was Mamiya Mitsuru.

He walked carefully into the room and stood by the bed to examine the body.

But before he could figure out what was going on, noisy sounds came from the corridor.

Perhaps a murder had occurred, preventing the servants in the castle from sleeping peacefully. After hearing the screams, they quickly gathered together.

"Is he dead? Master Aman..." Yamagishi Naomi stood at the door, her face pale. She seemed to be terribly frightened and asked a rather foolish question.

Haruhiko glanced at the huge wound on Mamiya Mitsuru's neck and shook his head at her, thinking that if he didn't die, he might be the reincarnation of a monster.

However, Mitsuru Mamiya died in Takato Mamiya's room, and Takato Mamiya disappeared again.

The spearhead was once again pointed at the noble young master with strange habits.

Haruhiko mobilized everyone to look for Takato Mamiya, because the car broke down and it was raining so hard that he shouldn't be able to go far.

Perhaps because Mamiya Mitsuru was usually nice to his servants, everyone took the initiative to participate in the search operation.

He sealed off the room and watched the servants leave in groups of three or four.

Only then did Haruhiko notice Professor Agasa and the Junior Detective League standing not far away.

The three detectives were a bit excited when they encountered a case. Ai Haibara stood with her hands behind her back, looking as if she had nothing to do with it.

Dr. Agasa walked up to him and whispered, "Haruhiko, is the murderer really Takato Mamiya?"

"We can't be completely sure yet. We have to find him first." Haruhiko hesitated. "I still have some things I want to investigate. Please keep an eye on these little guys and don't let them run around."

Dr. Agasa patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

Haruhiko walked down the stairs.

The Junior Detective Team is ready to go, seemingly prepared to show their skills in this incident, and seems to have forgotten that they were knocked unconscious in the afternoon.

At this time, Ayumi suddenly said: "Has anyone seen Conan? I just saw him sneak into the scene, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Yuantai: "This guy must have gone out to investigate secretly again. How abominable!"

"Let's go quickly and don't let this kid get ahead of us." Mitsuhiko said as he walked downstairs.

Dr. Agasa hurriedly followed. Although these children had solved many cases, this level of serial murders was far beyond their ability to handle. He just had to make sure nothing happened to them.

As for solving the case? He believed in the abilities of Shinichi and Haruhiko. Since both of them disappeared at the same time, they probably had a clue, right?
Shinichi said they had come here to make a bet, so he wondered who would find the murderer first this time. Dr. Agasa was curious.

Arriving at the first floor lobby, the doctor found several servants standing in a circle at the door.

When they went over to ask, they found out that they found traces of blood at the door and the castle gate was opened.

Mitsuhiko squatted in front of the bloodstains and observed carefully: "Judging from the degree of coagulation of the bloodstains on the ground, the murderer should not have gone too far."

"What are we waiting for? Let's catch up with him!" Genta couldn't wait to pull Mitsuhiko out of the castle, and Ayumi followed.

Dr. Agasa shouted from behind: "Wait a minute, it's too dangerous to run out without permission."

The doctor and Haibara Ai also followed.

When I left the castle, I found that the rain had gradually subsided, and the fine raindrops felt cold when falling on my face.

However, the road outside the castle yard was still very muddy.

After all, it is a mountain road, and there are puddles of various sizes everywhere. Raindrops falling into the puddles splash out circles of ripples.

Dr. Agasa originally thought that it would be difficult to find the whereabouts of Takato Mamiya, because he would definitely not stay there and wait to be caught after killing someone.

But they didn't expect that not long after they walked along the mountain road, they found the body of Takato Mamiya.

When he arrived at the scene, Conan was already squatting in front of the corpse.

It seems that he had already followed the clues to find this place, but there was no sign of Haruhiko.

The body of Takato Mamiya was leaning against a big tree. His clothes were soaked with mud and water, and there was a cut on his neck, which was very similar to the way Mamiya Mitsuru died.

A bloody dagger lay beside the body, and the deceased was holding a photo in his left hand.

The photo was a little distorted after being wet by the rain, but you can still vaguely make out that it is a girl with short brown hair.

Ai Haibara looked at it with cold eyes.

"Is it suicide?" Dr. Agasa walked behind Conan and asked in a low voice.

"Not sure yet, I still have a few questions to answer." Conan pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "By the way, where's Kousaka?"

Dr. Agasa: "He said he had some questions he wanted to investigate, so he didn't go with us."

Conan's eyes sparkled with excitement beneath his rain-stained glasses: "Second round? I won't lose to you this time!"

After saying this, he ran towards the castle without looking back.

Several members of the Junior Detective Team followed closely behind.

...

Since it was confirmed that Takato Mamiya was dead, there was no need to move the body.

Dr. Agasa and his team returned to the castle in the light rain.

As soon as we entered the door, we saw Genta Ayumi Mitsuhiko sitting on a chair in front of the restaurant and denouncing Conan. It turned out that they couldn't catch up with Conan no matter how hard they tried, and he escaped again.

At this time, the maid Yamagishi Naomi brought hot tea and milk and placed them in front of everyone: "Have some hot drinks. The weather in the mountains is not like outside. It's easy to catch a cold after getting wet in the rain."

After learning of Takato Mamiya's death, the others also gathered in the restaurant. Without the host's restraint, their actions became more casual.

As soon as Dr. Agasa sat down, Yamagishi Naomi came over and asked, "Would you like tea or milk?"

"Milk, please."

Yamagishi Naomi picked up the milk jug and poured him a cup of hot milk: "Do you want sugar?"

Dr. A Li nodded.

Yamagishi Naomi brought over a large sugar bowl from the other side of the table: "Sorry, we've run out of sugar cubes and haven't replenished them yet. Let's use this as a temporary substitute."

Dr. Agasa nodded with a smile, then scooped out a large spoonful of sugar with a spoon, but under Haibara Ai's cold gaze, he poured most of it back.

The professor drank a few sips of the hot milk, then boredly stirred it with a spoon, wondering why Shinichi and Haruhiko hadn't returned yet. The servants poured themselves hot drinks and sat in the dining room, whispering to each other about Master Aman's murder and their future plans.

Naomi Yamagishi also poured herself a cup of hot tea.

She sat next to Dr. Agasa, drinking tea from a cup, her eyes revealing confusion about the future.

The doctor asked curiously, "What are you going to do next, Ms. Yamagishi?"

Yamagishi Naomi took a sip of tea, smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I don't know yet. I have only been here for a short time and have not yet adapted to the living environment in the castle. I didn't expect something like this to happen."

Because the Mamiya family was wiped out, it was difficult to maintain the work of this castle.

The doctor comforted her, "A talented person like you will definitely find a better job."

Yamagishi Naomi was suddenly praised and lowered her head a little embarrassedly: "Thank you."

The doctor looked at her freckled face and thought what a gentle girl she was.

Just then, footsteps were suddenly heard in the corridor.

The doctor looked at the restaurant entrance and saw Conan walking into the restaurant. He was wet from the rain and was holding a black bag in his hand.

"Conan, where have you been? We've been looking for you for a long time but couldn't find you." The Junior Detective League rushed over to express their dissatisfaction with Conan.

"I followed Dr. Agasa's instructions and went to look for clues." Conan put the bag on the dining table. "Doctor, can you confirm the identity of the murderer now?"

The doctor was stunned, wondering when did I ask you to look for clues, but then he realized that Shinichi was probably planning to make inferences through his mouth again?
The doctor glanced around the restaurant but didn't see Haruhiko.

It seems that in this confrontation between the two, Shinichi will be the one to find out the truth faster.

After Conan and Dr. Agasa exchanged secret signals, he hid behind the doctor.

"Are you saying that you have found the murderer who killed Master Aman and the others?" Gardener Tabata couldn't help but ask.

Naomi Yamagishi also looked at Dr. Agasa with curiosity.

Conan used a voice changer to make the doctor's voice: "Yes, I have confirmed the identity of the murderer who killed Mamiya Mitsuru and Nishikawa Mutsumi."

"The murderer of Master Aman and Mutsumi Nishikawa? In other words..."

"Yes, it was Takato Mamiya who killed them." Conan said, "As for the evidence, it's in this black plastic bag. Please open the bag."

Naomi Yamagishi temporarily acted as an assistant and walked over to take out a contract from the bag.

Conan: "This is what I found on the deceased. This contract clearly states that the noble master is required to transfer his shares in the Mamiya family to him.

This is also why Mitsuru Mamiya died in the noble young master's room, because he suddenly visited in the middle of the night just to make the noble young master sign the agreement.

But perhaps because the conditions were too harsh, the two of them had a dispute, and the noble young master killed Mamiya Mitsuru in anger.

After Conan finished speaking, there was silence at the scene.

Huiyuan Ai suddenly said: "No, he had no reason to kill Nishikawa Mutsumi."

Conan leaned his head out a little from the side and found that Haibara Ai was also looking at him.

Conan smiled confidently, "He did. When Nishikawa Mutsumi was escaping, she accidentally stumbled into his studio and witnessed his greatest secret. The two of them started fighting in the studio, and the mess in his room is evidence. I guess their fingerprints should be found there."

Huiyuan Ai thought for a moment and said, "That's not right. If he really killed Nishikawa Mutsumi, why didn't he dispose of the body?"

"Regarding this, I would like to ask a witness to come forward..." Conan had just said half of his words when footsteps were heard in the corridor again.

Haruhiko Kousaka walked in. He was also soaked by the rain and his trouser legs were covered in mud.

"Kousaka, you came at the right time. I have solved the truth of this serial murder case." Conan said through Dr. Agasa. This was his first time to make inferences in front of Haruhiko, and he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Haruhiko knew from the unnatural expression on Dr. Agasa's face that Conan must be hiding behind and making inferences, but he didn't intend to interrupt. He decided to listen to what the boy said first. It was a good opportunity to take a break. He was exhausted from digging the hole outside just now.

Haruhiko sat on the chair next to the doctor, which just happened to be enough to shield Conan's body.

He suddenly felt a little cold and was about to pour a cup of hot tea when Huiyuan Ai's little hand held a cup of hot milk and handed it to him: "Drink milk, it can replenish your energy."

Haruhiko was stunned for a moment, and when he took the glass, his hand accidentally touched her soft skin, which made Haibara Ai glare at him coldly, and she turned away with a stern face.

Haruhiko thought she was angry again, so he lowered his head and drank some of Haibara Ai's milk.

But not long after, Haibara Ai ran back again. She threw a towel to Haruhiko and asked him to wipe the water off his hair.

Haruhiko took the towel, wiped his hair roughly, put the towel on the back of the chair and concentrated on drinking milk.

Seeing this, Haibara Ai sighed, picked up a towel, stood behind him, and stood on tiptoe to help Haruhiko wipe his hair.

Conan saw this scene completely.

He glanced at his rain-soaked clothes, his expression full of resentment: "I'm also wet from the rain, okay? Can you help me wipe it off too?"

At this time, Dr. Agasa secretly hit him with his hand, and Conan reacted and continued to reason.

"As for why the noble young master didn't deal with Nishikawa Mutsumi's body, it was because he was interrupted by a sudden accident and had no time to deal with it."

"What kind of accident was it? And the witness you just mentioned is..." asked a servant.

Conan: "The witness is Miss Yamagishi Naomi. She heard the sound of fighting and knocked on the door of the noble master. She saw the plaster statue fragments on the ground at the door and wanted to clean it up.

Even after the noble young master refused, he was still worried. He was afraid that Miss Yamagishi would come secretly to clean.

So I took Miss Yamagishi with me to look for Mutsumi Nishikawa. After searching for a long time, we returned to the restaurant with her and reunited with everyone. During the process, we had no time to deal with the body.

At this time, Naomi Yamagishi also spoke up to testify, proving the authenticity of Conan's reasoning.

In addition, it was indeed she and Takahito Mamiya who came together to look for Mutsumi Nishikawa, and many people saw the two of them walking together.

Therefore, this reasoning result was recognized by everyone.

"But don't you think his subsequent handling was too rough? There were flaws everywhere." Haruhiko suddenly asked.

"That's why he chose to commit suicide." Conan said, "This was not a premeditated murder plan. It was just an impulsive killing caused by the murderer's emotions."

Yamagishi Naomi walked up to the doctor with a look of admiration on her face: "You are really amazing. I didn't expect you to be such a great detective."

Dr. Agasa scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's not that great."

Gardener Tabata then said, "I will never forget the experience of this night. I never thought that all the members of this family would die in just one night."

"Yes, we have to find another place to live. We thought we could spend the rest of our lives here." said another maid.

After sighing, since the murderer had been identified, everyone stood up and prepared to go back to their rooms to rest and consider their future plans.

at this time--

"Wait a moment," Haruhiko suddenly stood up. "Let me share my thoughts on this matter."

Conan, who had just received everyone's praise, was a little unhappy: "Oh, haha, hasn't the doctor already determined who the murderer is? Does Brother Haruhiko have a different opinion?"

Haruhiko glanced at him and said, "It might upset the doctor to say this, but he was indeed misled by the murderer."

Conan crossed his shoulders and sneered: "Oh? I was really looking forward to hearing the truth you told me."

At this moment, Haruhiko turned his gaze towards the corridor, looking at the figure quietly leaving with the teapot in hand. "Ms. Yamagishi, don't you want to hear my reasoning?"

Yamagishi Naomi turned around with the teapot in hand. The freckles on her face looked like insects crawling on her face under the light. "I'll go get some hot tea for everyone."

Haruhiko: "Then could you please listen to my reasoning before going?"

Yamagishi Naomi tilted her head in confusion, her movements somewhat adorable: "Mr. Kosaka, why do you want me to listen to your reasoning so much? Are you trying to woo me?"

Haruhiko shook his head. "I haven't thought about that yet, but I'd be a little uneasy if I just let the murderer out of my sight."
