Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 92 has a new entry

A dead body under the flowerbed?!

This news resounded in the ears of all the servants like thunder.

Could someone else have been killed?
While the others were puzzled, Haruhiko was carefully observing Tabata's reaction so that he could continue to put pressure on him.

If Naomi Yamagishi wants to reveal her own flaws, whether Tabata can confess his guilt is a very important step.

Fortunately, Tabata's psychological quality was not very good. His face was pale and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

All of this was within Haruhiko's expectations.

If Tabata had a better mental state, he wouldn't have behaved so strangely when Genta broke into the flower garden that day, causing Haruhiko to become suspicious of him.

Taking advantage of Tabata's panic, Haruhiko pressed on:
"If I'm not mistaken, that corpse should be Miss Yamagishi Naomi's brother, right?

As far as I know, the news that he went to the tower at night seemed to come from you, right?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Tabata said excitedly, "I saw him enter the tower with my own eyes. As for the corpse you mentioned, I know nothing about it."

Haruhiko tapped his index finger lightly on the table in front of him. "Isn't that right? I heard that the expensive flowers in the flower garden need special soil to survive. The Mamiya family spends a lot of money every year to buy new soil to fill the flower garden.

Every time the soil is filled, the old soil needs to be dug out and rearranged.

As far as I know, you, the gardener, were responsible for all this, so how could you not have discovered the body?"

"I..." Tabata was suddenly confused.

He didn't expect that Haruhiko would investigate the matter so thoroughly.

Yes, every time the flower garden was filled with soil, he did it all by himself. No one would believe him if he said he didn’t see the body.

But how did he know where the body was buried?
No one has discovered this secret for such a long time, and the police also ignored this point when they came to investigate.

But why could this high school student see through the clues that even the police couldn't find?

Tabata now regrets very much that he didn't just kick them out that day.

No matter what.

I guess I can’t keep it secret this time, right?
For some reason, Tabata felt a sense of relief.

In the past two years, he has thought about moving the body away.

But the thought of digging the body out of the ground was something he resisted from the bottom of his heart.

It seems that as long as he doesn't think about the past experience, he can forget about the murder.

So every time he changed the soil in the flower garden, he would have nightmares for several days.

As for escaping?

Tabata would panic whenever he left the castle, and he would only feel at ease when he saw the place where the bodies were buried.

It's like many times, after a criminal kills someone, he will go back to the scene to take a look even if he knows he might be exposed.

It seems that he would feel uneasy if he didn't take a look at it.

But this time he was finally free, and he didn't know whether he should hate Haruhiko or thank him.

"Actually, I didn't mean to kill him. It was all because..." Tabata knelt on his knees and began to confess.

According to Tabata, he really didn't intend to kill the other person at first, but the new servant was too curious and accidentally discovered that he had embezzled the flower garden repair funds.

So he got so angry that he beat the man to death and buried him in the flower garden.

After confessing, Tabata sat there in a daze, waiting for the police to come and take him away.

Haruhiko then turned around and smiled at Yamagishi Naomi: "I've played my cards. Now it's Ms. Yamagishi's turn. What will you choose?"

Finished this sentence.

Haruhiko noticed that Yamagishi Naomi could no longer remain calm.

Her eyes were cold, and her face no longer had the calm expression it had before, but rather a somewhat ferocious one.

Haruhiko felt that she, as an avenger, was quite unlucky. She killed three people, but ended up killing the wrong people, and almost let the real murderer escape.

Now he is faced with a difficult decision: should he let the real murderer go, or die together with him?

Haruhiko thinks she will choose the latter.

But to be on the safe side, he took the initiative to add fuel to the fire: "Ms. Yamagishi, if you wait for the police to arrest him, you will lose the chance of revenge.

I guess he will be imprisoned for many years. Will you wait for him? Wait until he gets out and then take revenge?"

Yamagishi Naomi's breathing was a little heavy.

Haruhiko pressed on, "The police might even change his identity and name to protect the prisoner and help him start a new life. It would be difficult for you to find him then. Or would you be satisfied with just serving his sentence?"

Tabata's face changed, and he felt something was wrong.

Naomi Yamagishi's hands gripped the fabric of the maid's uniform so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

Haruhiko was delighted, thinking there was hope.

In fact, most of what he said was to fool Yamagishi Naomi, but in this situation it was surprisingly effective.

Since she was able to plan revenge for such a long time and kill three people without hesitation, it can be seen that she attaches great importance to revenge.

The more exciting it is when killing someone, the more depressed you will be when you find out that you killed the wrong person. What's more, when you see the real murderer right in front of you, those who can resist taking action in this situation are all heroes.

Haruhiko judged this based on Yamagishi Naomi's recent performance.

She's far from that level yet.

As long as she attacked Tabata, she would have a motive to kill, instead of being a blank slate like before.

In this way, the police can apply for a search warrant and conduct a carpet search of her living environment, social network, etc.

The law here is that if there is no search warrant, no matter how much suspicion there is, there is no right to search the suspect. This is why Baijiu Pharmaceutical was already on the suspect list, but Bai Niao had never been able to get in.

In the end, Haruhiko accidentally broke in, and Shiratori used this as an excuse to break in.

As long as he can make Yamagishi Naomi reveal a flaw, Haruhiko doesn't believe that he can't dig out clues from her. Maybe she will collapse herself by then.

Haruhiko continued to coax Yamagishi Naomi: "You should be very confident in your kendo, right? How about a bet? Either I subdue you, or you succeed in taking revenge."

As he spoke, Haruhiko pulled out a short knife from somewhere and placed it on the table: "This was found in Nishikawa Mutsumi's room."

He only said half of his words, which could be considered as evidence for his reasoning. However, Yamagishi Naomi could pick up the short sword and use it as a weapon.

Tabata's face turned green when he saw the short knife. Why did he feel like this detective boy was trying to trick the other party into killing him?

Is there anyone who is a detective like you? Aren't detectives all about pursuing procedural justice?
How come you can just conduct the trial on the spot?
If she refuses, will you do it yourself? Bastard!

Tabata just had the idea of ​​"Why don't I run away first and then turn myself in", and Yamagishi Naomi finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She couldn't possibly wait for Tabata to finish his sentence before settling accounts with him, as that would create too many variables.

The murderer who killed my brother must die here today!

Naomi Yamagishi suddenly stood up from her chair and reached for the dining table.

Haruhiko thought she was going to use the knife as a weapon and was delighted because the knife had been tampered with and if they really fought it would weaken Yamagishi Naomi's strength.

But unexpectedly, Yamagishi Naomi didn't even look at the short knife, but directly reached her hand under the edge of the table and grabbed it hard.

Pull out a long wooden strip from under the table.

Then he swung his arm—

The wooden strip fell off, revealing a sharp Japanese sword.

Haruhiko was stunned.

Wow, every spy in this castle has a weapon, right?
However, this is much longer than the short sword of Mutsumi Nishikawa, and with the support of Naomi Yamagishi's kendo skills, it is probably not that easy to deal with.

Haruhiko's face showed an extremely serious expression. He picked up the glass jug full of milk on the table and threw it at Yamagishi Naomi.

Unfortunately, the milk was already lukewarm.

If it were scalding hot, it might even have a magical effect. However, Haruhiko wasn't planning on defeating the opponent with this milk jug. He simply took advantage of the gap while Yamagishi Naomi was dealing with the milk bottle to bend down and slip under the table.

He took out an iron rod from inside.

This iron rod is one meter long and as thick as three fingers. It is the most threatening weapon that Haruhiko could find in the castle after searching around.

In fact, he originally wanted to find a samurai sword, but the owner of the house didn't seem to have the habit of collecting such items, so he had to give up.

The reason for preparing weapons in advance is to prevent the murderer from suddenly killing people.

Others don't know, but Haruhiko has fought with the man in black once and knows that he is very skilled. Without a suitable weapon, he may not be able to gain the upper hand in a fight.

After Haruhiko picked up the iron rod from under the table, he looked up and saw Yamagishi Naomi flying up.

Of course, he wasn't really flying, he was just jumping high on the edge of the dining table, and the samurai sword in his hand was slashing towards Haruhiko's head.

Haruhiko rolled on the ground and dodged the attack.

The katana struck the hardwood dining chair, splitting it in two.

After landing, Yamagishi Naomi lightly tapped her toes and attacked Haruhiko like an agile cheetah.

Haruhiko rushed forward with an iron rod and the two men started fighting.

In fact, in a normal fight, Yamagishi Naomi is no match for Haruhiko, but the problem is that she does not choose to confront him head-on, and always looks for opportunities to go around and kill Tabata behind her.

From time to time he would use a crazy, life-for-life attack. Haruhiko couldn't possibly take a knife for this guy just to protect Tabata, right?
So there's really nothing we can do about her for the time being.

However, Haruhiko is quite strong after all, and over time, Yamagishi Naomi's physical fitness became a drag on her.

Gradually, she was completely at a disadvantage, and Tabata took this opportunity to escape from her attack range.

Naomi Yamagishi became more and more anxious, and the freckles on her face seemed to come alive and move around her face.

Sudden--

She was so angry that she turned around and attacked Haibara Ai.

This startled Haruhiko.

He rushed over to intercept, but because the distance was too far, the iron stick could not hit Yamagishi Naomi before she attacked Haibara Ai.

So Haruhiko thought quickly and threw the iron rod directly, hitting the back of Yamagishi Naomi's head.

I thought this would be able to stop Yamagishi Naomi's attack.

However, he didn't expect that she just moved her body slightly and used her back to withstand the attack. The knife only paused slightly and continued to fall towards Haibara Ai.

Haruhiko was shocked, but he didn't think too much in that split second. He subconsciously bumped into the other person, hoping to make the other person lose balance and at least give Haibara Ai some time to escape.

Just then, an accident happened.

Naomi Yamagishi suddenly put away her sword, turned around and slashed at Haruhiko.

There was a sinister smile on her lips, a look of success.

It turns out that her target from the beginning was Haruhiko Kousaka.

As long as Haruhiko is eliminated, even if she is slightly injured, the people here will not be able to do anything to her, and the murderer who killed her brother will eventually die.

Haruhiko didn't have much time to think, because he had just thrown his body out and due to inertia, he couldn't turn or dodge.

He could only watch as Yamagishi Naomi raised her Japanese sword, the blade flashing with a chilling cold light.

I guess he will be seriously injured this time?

I just hope my arms don’t get chopped off. With the recovery ability of the scientific world, I guess as long as my arms and legs aren’t broken, it shouldn’t be a big deal.

But Haruhiko waited for a long time, but Yamagishi Naomi's knife did not fall. Instead, he took advantage of the momentum and bumped into her.

She was knocked to the ground and the knife fell out of her hand.

Haruhiko looked closely and realized that Haibara Ai was still in the posture of shooting with the watch-shaped tranquilizer gun.

It turned out that she was the one who shot the anesthetic needle at the critical moment and anesthetized Yamagishi Naomi.

Haruhiko suddenly felt both amused and annoyed. He didn't expect the incident to end in this way.

Is this a true reflection of the fact that martial arts cannot defeat technology?

...

The next thing is much easier, just wait for the police to arrive.

Naomi Yamagishi was lying on the ground and snoring, and Haruhiko and Dr. Agasa tied her up tightly.

But Qingyan was still worried that she might have other secret weapons, so he wanted to search.

But he was stopped by Haibara Ai.

She completed the body search on Haruhiko's behalf and found nothing threatening.

The body search is over.

Ai Haibara pulled Haruhiko to a deserted part of the corridor and said coldly, "Could you not be less reckless? She almost cut you in half just now."

Haruhiko smiled and said, "Isn't that almost right? By the way, when did you get an anesthetic needle?"

"Conan's spare." Huiyuan Ai continued with a straight face, "Do you know that if I hadn't brought the anesthetic needle just now, you would no longer be in this world."

"I know, but I can't just watch you get killed by her, right?" Haruhiko said as a matter of course.

Huiyuan Ai glared: "Why not? You are not related to me."

Haruhiko: "But aren't we companions?"

Haibara Ai opened her mouth slightly, and the expression on her face froze.

"Companions are the kind of relationship where you can completely trust each other, right?" Haruhiko patted her head. "So I trust you. You won't watch me die."

Huiyuan Ai was stunned there, whispering softly: "Companions?"

At this time, Conan also came over following the sound.

Haruhiko pointed at Conan and said, "Not only me, but Conan is also our important companion. If we want to fight against the Black Organization, the three of us must trust each other."

Conan originally wanted to come and watch the fun, but when he heard this, he was suddenly a little infected. It was very romantic to think about three people turning their backs to each other to fight against the evil forces!

At this moment, Haruhiko raised his hands in the air and said proudly, "From now on, the three of us must unite, trust each other, and defeat the Black Organization."

Ai Haibara hesitated for a moment and placed her little hand on the back of Haruhiko's hand.

Her hands were still so soft, and her palms were damp and slightly sweaty.

Conan also reached out and tried to put his hand on Haibara Ai's little hand but failed.

Because Haruhiko stretched out another hand and clamped Haibara Ai's fair little hand in the middle, Conan's hand finally fell on the back of Haruhiko's other hand.

Conan raised his head with an expression that said "Please explain."

Haruhiko explained, "After all, I'm the only one here who still has an adult body, so naturally I have to put in more effort. So I'll use both hands to show my determination."

Conan rolled his eyes, obviously not believing his nonsense.

Haibara Ai didn't say anything, but there was a faint smile at the corner of her lips.

After the "alliance" ceremony, Haruhiko unilaterally believed that the cohesion between the three of them had become stronger.

So he walked towards the dining table, wanting to eat something to make up for what he had just consumed.

Sudden--

The rice cooker beeps.

It looks like the delayed reward has finally arrived.

Haruhiko couldn't wait to open the instruction manual and found that there was a new entry this time.
