Conan, but the winery

On his mobile phone screen was a text message that had been sent not long ago.

[Mission completed, target processed]

"Wow, there's no one in the hall?"

"Because it's almost closing time..."

Pulling Karasuma Ying and the other person out of the lounge, Suzuki Sonoko looked at the empty hall in front of her and sighed deeply.

"She really has forgotten us... Let's go! To her room!"

They pulled the two of them up to the second floor, and in front of Kimiko Arai's room, the three saw a crowd gathered there.

Daijiro Arai, Masashi Kawai, Ms. Edano, Mr. Yi...all the people I just met are here now.

"What happened?" With a bad feeling in his heart, Wu Wanying hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Oh, are they those girls from before?"

Kawai Shoko turned to look at the three people and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? It's closing time now, eh?"

"I'm sorry, we're here to see Ms. Arai... What's going on? Why is everyone here?"

"It's nothing, the black witch just locked herself in." Kawai Shoko explained.

Mr. Yi at the side also said worriedly: "Wasn't she feeling unwell before? Could she have fainted in the room alone?"

"No answer to your knock?"

As Wu Wanying said this, he personally went forward and knocked on the iron door.

At this time, Shizuka Shizuka and Suzuki Ayako also came here.

"I tried, but there was no response. But it's possible that they didn't hear it. After all, all the fortune-tellers' rooms in the museum are soundproofed."

"Especially Kimiko's room. She also pasted iron plates around the walls, so the sound insulation effect is better than other rooms." Daijiro Arai added.

Ms. Edano looked at him and urged, "Dajiro, aren't you her assistant? I remember you also have the key to the room, right? Hurry up and get the key out and open the door."

"She just took my key away from me." Arai Daijiro said with difficulty, "It was after the previous secret meeting. I don't know what she was thinking..."

"Are there no other keys?" asked Wu Wanying.

"No, the manager of the fortune-telling hall should have a spare one. I just asked Kousaka-kun to borrow it..."

Tomohiko Kousaka was the host of the previous secret meeting.

"understood."

Nodding, Wu Wanying walked forward and tried to turn the door handle.

Not moving.

This door must have been locked from the inside.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, she noticed that something strange seemed to be seeping out from the extremely tiny gap between the iron door and the floor.

"Yuanzi, give me a tissue."

"okay."

Taking the tissue from Suzuki Sonoko, Karasuma Ying wiped the crack of the door hard with the tissue.

Suddenly, the front end of the tissue was stained with a little red.

"Aying, what is this?"

"is blood."

Wu Wanying stood up with a serious expression.

The intuition she developed after coming to Japan told her that something might have happened in this room...

"Blood?!"

Upon hearing this, the people around him suddenly became panicked.

"Why is there blood here?"

"Could it be that Kimiko really..."

"No, no way..."

"Is there no other way to open this door?"

"How long will Kousaka-kun take?"

"Should we, should we call the police first?"

"Everyone!"

Just then, Tomohiko Takasaka, who had gone to borrow the key, finally arrived.

"Give me!"

Taking the key directly from his hand, Karasuma Ying quickly inserted it into the door lock.

"Click."

With a crisp sound, the door lock was opened and Wu Wanying tried hard to push the door open.

"Fuck!"

There was a harsh friction sound behind the door, and the iron door was only pushed open slightly and then stopped moving.

"What's wrong?" Daijiro Arai beside her asked hurriedly.

"Strange, there seems to be something blocking the door... step back."

Asking everyone to step back, Wu Wanying took a deep breath, turned around and did a roundhouse kick which hit the iron gate hard.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, she kicked the iron door open most of the way.

At this time, everyone also saw the situation in the room.

The room was in a mess. Tables, chairs and benches were all knocked over, and the floor was in a mess. The statue of the thorny demon that was originally standing at the innermost side of the room was also knocked to the ground.

On the floor in the middle of the room, there lay an old woman with brown hair and wearing a pink suit, surrounded by dark red bloodstains.

She is Kimiko Arai.

"Kimiko?! I-I'm going to call the police!"

"How is this possible?"

"Is she dead?"

"Hurry, go check on her!"

"Stand at the door and don't come in."

After stopping everyone outside the door, Wu Wanying skillfully took out white gloves from her waist bag and put them on, then walked into the room alone.

"We need to protect the scene as much as possible now."

Since coming to Japan, she has developed the "good habit" of carrying white gloves with her.

“I understand!”

Several fortune tellers stopped in their tracks. Ms. Edano couldn't help but ask, "But will it be okay if you go in?"

"It's okay!" Suzuki Sonoko said loudly, "Aying is used to this kind of thing! She knows what to do!"

"Get used to it?" Mr. Yi looked at her in disbelief.

"That's right! Aying is Detective Maori's assistant! She often helps the police solve cases! There will be no problem leaving this kind of thing to her!"

In the room, Karasuma Ying heard what Suzuki Sonoko said and sighed helplessly.

In fact, she doesn't want to be so skilled...

Without saying anything, she carefully avoided the blood on the floor, walked to Kimiko Arai's body in the center of the room, and pressed hard on the side of her neck.

It's all cold, there's absolutely no hope.

"Unfortunately, Ms. Arai... has been killed."

Chapter 110 Let the detectives do their thing!

In the room, Kimiko Arai's body was lying on the floor.

There were wounds on her abdomen and thighs from being pierced by a sharp weapon. Next to her body was a sharp samurai sword stained with blood.

After a brief examination, Karasuma Ying confirmed the fatal injuries on Kimiko Arai's body and the murder weapon that killed her.

"Ms. Arai had two major wounds on her body. The wound on her thigh did not injure the artery, so I think the fatal wound should be the larger wound on her abdomen.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the murder weapon is most likely the samurai sword next to her. "

After confirming Kimiko Arai's death, Karasuma Ying stood up and looked back at the iron gate behind him and the statue of the knight lying behind the gate.

[Was it this knight statue that blocked the door before? ]

"Where's Mr. Arai?"

She suddenly noticed that Daijiro Arai was no longer outside the iron gate.

"He just ran to call the police...Um, did Kimiko commit suicide?" Several fortune tellers outside the door asked hurriedly.

"No, I think it was murder." Karasuma Ying shook her head to reject their words.

"B-But isn't this room locked from the inside? This must be..."

"If it was suicide, there would be no need for Ms. Arai to leave so many wounds in different places on her body.

This is very unreasonable, and based on the current situation, I am more inclined to believe that she was murdered rather than committed suicide."

As he explained this, Karasuma Ying noticed that Kimiko Arai's eyes, which were still open when she died, seemed to be staring at a certain spot on the ceiling.

She followed Kimiko Arai's line of sight and saw the small skylight on the ceiling.

Skylight?
