Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

"Then remember to go early and come back early, that convenience store closes at 10 o'clock."

Upon hearing this, the others nearby chimed in, "Buy me a bag of potato chips while you're at it."

"I want dried squid!"

"I want a lettuce salad."

"..."

This scene reminded Longye of his student days in his previous life.

At that time, everyone in the dormitory was secretly watching what was happening inside.

As soon as they see someone preparing to go downstairs, the rest of the people immediately transform into cheetahs and pounce forward.

"Please bring me some food. I'll eat whatever you eat."

"Please pick up my package, the number is..."

"Buy me a Coke, I've already transferred the money to you!"

"..."

Everyone in the dormitory is both hunter and prey.

No one has ever escaped the clutches of a deliveryman.

……

Shortly after, everyone watched as Ms. Zhongyuan drove away.

Seeing the woman leave, Professor Oyama suddenly asked Jiang Jiao anxiously, "Hey! What time is it?"

Jiang Jiao glanced at his watch and said, "It's 8:58."

Upon hearing this, Professor Dashan immediately rushed into the entrance hall, kicked off his slippers, and went straight into the house.

Seeing Professor Dashan's appearance, Xiaolan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Haha, he went to watch TV. He's currently engrossed in that drama that airs at 9 o'clock."

Realizing it was getting late, Xiaolan said apologetically, "Are we really allowed to stay here? Won't that be too much trouble for you?"

Ms. Jiang Jiao covered her mouth and laughed: "It's alright, it's alright, there are plenty of empty rooms here! Besides... with him in that state, it wouldn't be appropriate for you to go back, would it?"

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed and found that Uncle Mori was already drunk and asleep, leaning against the wall.

Seeing this, Xiaolan pouted helplessly.

Seeing how cute Ran was, Ryūno patted her head.

After 10 o'clock

Ms. Nakahara, who had gone to buy snacks to go with drinks, had returned. The others had also finished their own tasks, and everyone gathered in the living room.

Seeing everyone happily drinking, Conan suddenly realized something.

He looked at the people in the hospital and said, "That TV series should have ended at ten o'clock, why hasn't that uncle come over yet?"

Upon hearing this, everyone at the hospital smiled and looked at Conan. Ms. Nakahara explained, "Professor Ooyama always records those segments so he can watch the good parts repeatedly!"

After hearing these words, Conan still had some questions, but he didn't say anything more.

Meanwhile, Ryūno closed his eyes and silently mourned for Professor Ōyama for a second.

It seems that Professor Oyama is indeed the lucky one this time...

Sure enough, with these two grim reapers together, plus the snow-capped mountains and the villa, it would be a miracle if no one got hurt!

Professor Oyama has likely already met with a terrible fate.

Before long, everyone started chatting casually.

The people at the hospital looked at Uncle Mori, who was fast asleep due to drunkenness, and asked, "Why does he look so familiar?"

"Come to think of it, I do feel like I've seen him somewhere before... I remember now! Could it be Kogoro Mouri?"

"Huh? Kogoro Mouri? The one who's always on the news?"

Everyone looked at Longye and Xiaolan in surprise.

Seeing this, Ran had no choice but to nod: "That's right, my father is indeed Kogoro Mouri, a detective."

Upon hearing Xiaolan's affirmation, Ms. Zhongyuan's smile suddenly froze, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

Her change in expression did not escape the notice of Ryūno and Conan.

After confirming that the murderer was Ms. Nakahara, Tatsuno seemed to recall some details of the case.

He remembered that the deceased seemed to have left some kind of death message.

And this Miss Nakahara seems to be going to destroy this message of death.

Thinking of this, Longye smiled quietly.

……

The others, watching the snoring Mori uncle, couldn't help but remark, "You really can't judge a book by its cover..."

At that moment, Conan looked at the clock and realized it was already 11 o'clock.

Professor Oyama hadn't come downstairs, and his detective instincts told him that something was amiss!

Then he spoke up again: "It's already 11 o'clock! Don't you think that uncle is too slow?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the clock.

Ms. Zhongyuan immediately stood up: "Alright then, I'll go take a look..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ryūno suddenly stepped forward to the door, revealing a friendly smile: "Ms. Nakahara, since this is Conan's suggestion, why don't I take this kid to see it?"

"It's alright, you guys get some rest, I'll go."

"It's alright, Ms. Nakahara, you should get some rest. I'll take the child with me."

"Really not..."

Ms. Zhongyuan was about to refuse again when she suddenly froze.

She then realized that if she refused the young man's kindness again...

Once the body is discovered, she will be the first to be suspected because of her strange behavior.

With that in mind, Ms. Zhongyuan nodded and changed her mind, saying, "Alright, in that case, I'll leave it to you. You know which room it is, right?"

"It's the first house on the right after you go out, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

After confirming the room, Ryuno immediately picked up Conan and went over there.

Upon opening the door, the two immediately saw Professor Dashan, who was covered in blood.

The two rushed over and found that Professor Oyama had already passed away.

"Uncle Mountain!!!"

Conan couldn't help but shout out.

Upon hearing Conan's shout, everyone in the living room immediately rushed over.

Upon seeing the scene before them, everyone was shocked.

Several doctors immediately prepared to go forward and check on the professor.

Just then, a drunken Kogoro Mouri staggered over and shouted, "Stop! No one is allowed to act on their own!"

"Now it's my turn, Detective Kogoro Mouri, to make his appearance!"

Chapter 77 You Want to Be the Dragon King Too?

"You didn't touch anything except the body, did you?"

"Ah."

After hearing everyone's answers, Uncle Mori continued, "Is there anything valuable in this room?"

Kanazawa Tomoyasu, who was standing nearby, replied, "I remember the professor's safe should be in that cabinet over there."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Mori took out a piece of white cloth from his pocket and used it to open the cabinet door.

There was indeed a safe inside the cabinet.

There were many messy scratches next to the keyhole of the safe.

Judging from this, it seems the murderer killed the professor for money.

Thinking about this, Uncle Mori slapped his forehead: "It seems that the motive for the murder was money!"

"After seeing Professor Dashan inside the house from outside, he had the idea of ​​robbing him."

Then, he taped the glass, thus quietly breaking the window from the outside.

He eventually managed to enter the house and kill Professor Oyama.

"It seems to be an outsider, no doubt!"

After finishing his deduction, Uncle Mori laughed heartily twice, then sauntered to the window and closed it with his arm.

At this moment, even the hospital staff who didn't understand reasoning felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this reasoning.

This villa is nestled among several snow-capped mountains, and it would be difficult to find if you weren't familiar with the area.

Moreover, judging from the situation at the scene, there were no signs of ransacking inside the house.

How did the prisoner manage to find Professor Oyama's safe so accurately?

Not to mention, if the robbers really killed for money, why didn't they take the gold watch from the professor's hand?

However, no one spoke up to refute it.

After all, the title of "famous detective" is quite impressive.

Perhaps, the famous detective's reasoning contains a deeper meaning that they could not have imagined.

……

The snow outside is falling too heavily, and the police and ambulances can't get here yet.
