Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

"hiss…"

“This, this, this…”

"No, impossible! He, he, he..."

The next second, Longye flashed forward and leaped to the side of the driver's seat.

He punched the car window and door twice, found the point of impact inside and outside the door, and then tore the door off with his hands.

Then, he turned off the car's engine and stopped the car.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, the car has stopped."

Longye clapped his hands casually and chuckled.

"..."

For a moment, everyone was completely silent.

Chapter 93 Children won't get excited about cases.

After a while, Heiji Hattori and Conan were the first to come to their senses.

They quickly ran to the car and checked on the hotel owner.

Upon seeing the hotel owner's physical condition up close, the two men's expressions instantly changed.

"This! This is..."

“That’s right, he’s dead! And his body has already gone limp,” Conan immediately said.

After saying that, Conan lowered his head and analyzed, "Furthermore, judging from the degree to which the body has softened, he has been dead for more than 40 hours. But how is that possible!?"

Now, both Hattori Heiji and Tatsuno looked at Conan.

Hattori Heiji's face was filled with shock and disbelief.

Longye sighed softly to himself; this child was beyond saving.

After noticing the two people's gazes, Conan realized how exaggerated his behavior had been.

He immediately scratched his head and chuckled, "Haha~ That's exactly what the detective in the mystery drama that aired on TV a few days ago said!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ryuno stopped staring at Conan, turned around and walked back to the restaurant, seemingly unconcerned.

But Heiji Hattori was different; he stared intently at Conan's face, standing there without uttering a word.

Noticing his gaze, Conan broke out in a cold sweat and immediately put on a show of "childlike innocence."

This time, Heiji Hattori ignored Conan's feigned ignorance and fell into deep thought.

"Back at that diplomat's house, the child seemed to have bumped his head. He also seemed to be looking for something on the ground at the time..."

"Plus his reasoning just now... it didn't sound like lines from a TV drama; what he said was completely correct!"

"In the last incident, when Shinichi Kudo appeared, this child didn't seem to be there. But after Shinichi Kudo disappeared, this child reappeared."

"Could it be that this child..."

Thinking of this, the suspicion in Hattori Heiji's eyes grew even stronger.

……

Shortly after

The people who had gone into the room to sleep earlier also came out of the room.

Everyone gathered in the restaurant.

Upon learning of the hotel owner's death, the group was surprised but did not show excessive fear.

Some even began analyzing the hotel owner's cause of death and the motive behind the perpetrator putting him in the car.

Seeing this, Longye was also somewhat surprised.

As expected of a group of Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts, their reactions were indeed quite different from those of ordinary people.

After a brief discussion, everyone decided to call the police first.

However, the boss had already confiscated everyone's phones.

Therefore, the boss's assistant, Hitomi Iwai, immediately led everyone to the boss's room to return the phones to them.

But when she opened the cabinet where the phones were stored, she discovered that everyone's phones had been destroyed.

Upon seeing this, Hattori Heiji immediately ran out of the room and followed his memory to check the landline in the living room.

At that moment, Longye looked at the broken pieces of the phone on the ground and silently put his consciousness into the world of the steel pipe.

After a while, everyone returned to the restaurant.

Heiji Hattori also ran back and solemnly told everyone, "All the landline phones have been destroyed. In addition, the car in the garage has also been tampered with."

"A hole was cut in the fuel tank, and all the gasoline leaked out. The car battery is also dead."

Hearing this, the man named Fujisawa Toshiaki spoke up: "Isn't there another car? The hotel owner's car!"

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji paused for a moment before speaking, "The car door has already been removed; driving that car is too dangerous. Besides, that car is now evidence, so we can't touch it!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Longye beside him and muttered to himself, "Monster."

Just how strong is this guy?

After finishing his rant, Hattori Heiji continued, "Judging from the fact that the murderer destroyed the phone and the car, it seems he still wants to continue his 'murdering' activities!"

"In short, the culprit is one of us. With a thorough investigation, we will definitely be able to find him." After listening to Hattori Heiji's words, Uncle Mori reassured everyone.

A moment later, the young man in the group, Ikuo Kawazu, seemed to remember something and said excitedly, "Wait a minute, didn't this hotel have security cameras and listening devices installed? They must have filmed the criminals, right?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

Yes! Since the hotel owner was murdered inside the hotel, these surveillance cameras must have captured clues related to the killer!

Unexpectedly, the female assistant interrupted everyone: "I'm sorry, those cameras are actually fake. They're just temporary machines that are installed before the event each year."

Upon hearing this news, the joy on everyone's faces vanished instantly.

Heiji Hattori and Conan also began to lower their heads and think.

"Hahaha! I already know who the murderer is~ I understand his methods and all the evidence."

Not long after, Ayako Oki, one of the group, suddenly spoke up with a smile.

Everyone looked at her in shock.

Under everyone's gaze, she nonchalantly lit a cigarette: "I'll give you ten minutes. If you don't want me to reveal your name in public, you'd better confess!"

After saying that, she walked straight to the restaurant entrance.

Seeing this, her boyfriend, Toba Kenji, immediately said, "Where are you going? If you go alone, the murderer will target you!"

Hearing this, Ayako Oki glanced at Kento Toba and teased, "I need to go to the restroom. Oh, you'll protect me, right?"

After saying that, she walked out without looking back. Her boyfriend immediately chased after her.

Upon seeing this, Longye smiled.

So, you're the culprit!

So it was you who broke my phone, haha…

Although Ryūno knew that a case would occur here, he did not remember the details of the case or the identity of the perpetrator.

His only impression of the case was that Heiji Hattori exposed Conan's identity here.

Therefore, although he had already chosen the steel pipes, he hesitated to make a move.

However, he now knows who the culprit is.

Who was the first to spot the hotel owner outside the window?

Why does Ms. Ayako Oki, who knows the identity of the murderer, appear so relaxed and at ease? She doesn't seem afraid that the murderer will harm her.

This shows that she knows the murderer very well, and the murderer must be someone she knows.

Combining these two points, Longye immediately identified the murderer.

The killer who murdered his phone…

No, the murderer who killed the hotel owner was you all along... Kento Toba~

Thinking of this, Longye had a sudden thought.

"Xiao Jia, scan this hotel for me. Tell me where the power switch is."

[Received, scanning in progress]

[Scan complete. The main power switch for this building is located next to the garage and has been marked on the map for you.]

After glancing at the system map, a strange light flashed in Longye's eyes.

He walked slowly out of the living room.

At this moment, everyone noticed Longye's actions.

The female assistant, Ms. Iwai, spoke up, reminding her, "Are you going out too? The criminal hasn't been caught yet. Isn't it too dangerous for you to do this?"

……

Chapter 94 Dining tables are not just for storing food

As soon as she finished speaking, Heiji Hattori and Conan stood there shaking their heads frantically.

Uncle Mori also said with a crooked mouth, "Don't worry about this kid. If that prisoner really wants to harm him... the one in danger should be the prisoner."

Upon hearing Uncle Mori's words, Heiji Hattori and Conan immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the female assistant and everyone else looked puzzled.

After all, they weren't in the restaurant before, so they didn't know what had just happened.

Seeing the bewildered looks on everyone's faces, Hattori Heiji pointed to the hotel owner's car outside and said, "He stopped the hotel owner's car with his bare hands, and he ripped the car door off the car..."

"???"

Upon hearing Hattori Heiji's words, everyone looked at Tatsuno at the door in shock.
