The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"He's on the same floor as Ms. Usui, and they clearly went back to their room together just now!" Kenzo Shiozawa said, puzzled.

"Oh? Really!"

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki unconsciously narrowed her eyes and said, "Then the most likely place now is still her room!?"

"..."

Yuu Aragaki noticed that although Eri Kisaki's facial expression remained unchanged, her overall aura became more oppressive.

Soon, the group arrived at Ritsuko Usui's room again.

"That's strange, there wasn't this sign hanging up when we came here!"

Soon, Conan noticed the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the doorknob.

"Just now?" Kenzo Shiozawa looked at Conan in front of the door with some confusion.

"We just came to Ritsuko to ask about the situation, but she said Mr. Mori isn't here," Aragaki Yu explained for Conan.

However, his gaze fell somewhat suspiciously on Ritsuko Usui's door.

Aragaki Yu had noticed that Usui Ritsuko's expression was a bit strange earlier.

Moreover, he now had a vague premonition of something bad.

"Of course he's not here, there's no way the two of them could be together!" Kenzo Shiozawa replied with an expression that seemed perfectly reasonable.

However, Eri Kisaki thought differently.

Eri Kisaki, who was in a bad mood due to some speculation, also took out her cell phone from her pocket and dialed Kogoro Mouri's number.

Chapter 653 The murderer is actually Kogoro Mouri (1)

Then, something happened that surprised everyone.

A cell phone rang from Ritsuko Usui's room.

Xiaolan: "..."

However, what was puzzling was that although the sound of a cell phone could be heard coming from Ritsuko Usui's room, there was no other movement inside.

Now, there was no need to wait for Eri Kisaki to speak.

Yuu Aragaki then looked at Vermouth beside him and said, "Ayami-nee, could you please go to the front desk and get the spare key?"

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Vermouth didn't say anything and turned to run towards the elevator.

When Vermouth and the hotel staff came up with the spare key and unlocked Ritsuko Usui's room door, they found that the inside of the door was locked with a chain lock.

The lights were on in the room, so Eri Kisaki subconsciously glanced into the room.

But that one glance caused Eri's expression to change drastically, and she froze on the spot.

Inside the room, Ritsuko Usui lay motionless on the floor.

Through the narrow crack in the door, one could only catch a glimpse of her face; her pupils were contracted, and her complexion was ashen and lifeless.

It's like he's already...dead!?

"what!?"

Eri Kisaki instinctively gasped.

"what happened?"

After noticing the change in Eri's expression, Saku Norifumi, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and glanced into the room. His face immediately turned pale as well.

"Huh? Wh...what! Isn't that Attorney Ritsuko?"

Conan, somewhat puzzled by Eri Kisaki and Norifumi Saku's actions, also approached the room door. After just one glance, he turned to the hotel staff with a grim expression and ordered, "Waiter, quickly get some pliers to cut the chain lock!"

"Ah...!? Okay!"

Although he didn't know what had happened, seeing Conan's serious expression, the waiter subconsciously agreed and ran towards the tool room.

"Get out of the way! There's no time to wait for the waiter!"

However, Saku Norishi clearly did not intend to wait for the staff to return. After waving for Eri Kisaki and the others to disperse, he took two steps back and slammed directly into the door.

The chain lock snapped the next moment.

The moment the door was flung open, Norifumi Saku and Conan rushed inside and went to Ritsuko Usui, who was lying on the ground.

"What's wrong? Are you alright, Attorney Ritsuko?"

Just as Saku Norifumi was shaking Usui Ritsuko's body, Kisaki Eri also ran over, squatted down, and began to check her carotid pulse.

Unfortunately, it didn't last more than a few seconds.

Eri Kisaki shook her head at the group, "She has no pulse..."

"what?"

"How could this happen?"

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of utter astonishment.

Why are you all making so much noise?!

However, while everyone was stunned...

The blanket on the bed next to him shifted a couple of times.

The next second, a sleepy-looking Kogoro Mouri groggily crawled out of bed and looked at everyone blankly, "What are you all doing?"

Everyone stared in shock as Kogoro Mouri climbed out of bed.

"Ah, Dad?" Xiaolan exclaimed instinctively.

Eri Kisaki, squatting beside Ritsuko Usui's body, stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "How could it be you!?"

Even Conan was stunned when he saw the situation before him.

At this moment, only Aragaki Yu and Vermouth narrowed their eyes and exchanged a silent glance.

Still not fully awake, Kogoro Mouri stared blankly at the group of people staring at him in shock, tilting his head in bewilderment. "Huh?"

How could this be?!

Eri Kisaki found it hard to accept what was happening before her eyes.

It's no longer just about why Kogoro Mouri was in Ritsuko Usui's lawyer's room!

She subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the door.

The door to the room was locked.

Miss Ritsuko lay dead on the floor again.

And there was only one person in this room!

Seeing Kogoro Mouri yawning, still not quite understanding what was going on, Eri Kisaki was already in a state of utter panic.

"Mr. Mori, I think you need to wake up soon..."

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri was completely unaware of his surroundings under everyone's gaze, Yuu Aragaki gave him a somewhat helpless reminder.

"Yes, Mr. Mori, it seems you're in big trouble!" Although she knew perfectly well that Kogoro Mori couldn't be the murderer, Vermouth still deliberately put on an extremely worried expression.

"Getting into big trouble?"

Kogoro Mouri rubbed his messy hair blankly, yawned, and then prepared to get out of bed. "So, what happened?"

However, just as Kogoro Mouri was about to get out of bed...

Conan, who had been observing his surroundings, suddenly spoke up, "Ah! Wait a minute, Uncle Mori, don't step on that spot!"

"Ok?"

Kogoro Mouri looked at the noisy Conan with some annoyance, only to see Conan point to his feet.

There was a telephone line lying there for some reason.

Just as Kogoro Mouri was puzzled, Conan's words made him even more confused: "I think the telephone line that fell there must be the murder weapon!"

"It's...the murder weapon? The murder weapon!"

Kogoro Mori instinctively pulled his foot back and ran back to bed.

“Yeah, look!” Conan turned to look at Ritsuko Usui’s body. “Miss Usui has a few thin ligature marks on her neck, right?”

"I understand now. The murderer used the telephone cord to strangle her and kill her!" Saku Norifumi confirmed this at this moment.

"Wait a minute, what are you guys talking about?"

Kogoro Mouri avoided the telephone wires on the ground and staggered over to the group before noticing Ritsuko Usui lying on the ground. "And why is Ms. Ritsuko lying here?"

He looked around blankly for a while before asking again, puzzled, "What other murder? Who killed him?"

Faced with Kogoro Mouri like this, Yuu Aragaki also covered his eyes.

Even Aragaki Yu, who had anticipated all of this, could no longer stand it.

Really are……
