Conan, but the winery

Under Wu Wanying's questioning, Mr. Yi seemed more and more flustered, and even began to speak incoherently.

[This person has such a poor psychological quality...]

After complaining silently for a while, Karasuma Ying decided to change the direction of the question.

She walked around Mr. Yi and went straight to the display cabinet containing guns.

"Mr. Yi, the guns here should all be your collection, right?"

"Ah? I don't know! I don't know! It has nothing to do with me!"

[Is it okay if all of this is placed in your room? ]

Wu Wanying didn't know how to complain anymore. She sighed softly, picked up a pistol from the display case, and said:

"What an amazing collection, especially these guns. They should be model guns, right? They look exactly like real guns..."

Her words attracted Mr. Yi's attention. He asked curiously and pleasantly:

"Detective Karasuma, do you understand this too?"

"Well, I touched real guns when I was studying in the United States. From the appearance alone, there is really no difference between them."

"Is that so?" Mr. Yi chuckled and said proudly, "These are all my best collections. No matter the appearance or weight, even the sound they make is no different from real guns!"

[Is this really not against the law in Japan? 】

After complaining in his heart, Karasuma Ying put the gun back and walked to the display cabinet where swords were placed.

"And these swords look really powerful, Mr. Yi, could it be that they are not model swords, but real swords?"

"Ugh?"

When asked this by Wu Wanying, Mr. Yi suddenly started to panic again.

"No, this, this, that, how should I put it..."

"Can I touch it?"

While asking, Karasuma Ying reached out to grab the swords on the display cabinet.

"No, no!"

Chapter 113 I've Solved It

"No, no!"

When Mr. Yi heard that Wu Wanying wanted to touch her, he hurried over and stood in front of her with his fat body.

"No, that..." Looking at Wu Wanying's puzzled eyes, Mr. Yi forced a smile and stammered to explain:

"These are actually not that great. There's nothing to see..."

[It looks like a real sword]

Looking at his reaction, Wu Wanying had already made a decision in her heart.

"I understand."

She withdrew her hand and said with a smile: "But Mr. Yi, come to think of it, I seemed to have noticed an empty space in the display cabinet just now..."

"Uh, that, that is..."

"And the same thing happens in the gun display cabinet next to it. How come there's an empty spot?"

"Well, I, how should I put it, it's not..."

"The samurai sword in Ms. Arai's room should be your collection, Mr. Yi, right?"

The subject suddenly changed and Wu Wanying stared at him with a serious expression.

"Yes... No no no! No! I don't know!"

Mr. Yi seemed to be extremely panicked after being tricked into telling the truth by Wu Wanying's sudden response. His eyes were darting around, his hands were waving around meaninglessly, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down his face.

Suddenly, he saw the swords in the display cabinet behind him, and his originally panicked eyes became dazed for a moment.

At this moment, a hint of ferocity appeared in his eyes.

[The knife is here, as long as, as long as I...]

"Mr. Yi, what do you want to do?" Wu Wanying also saw the change in his expression, took two steps back, and asked coldly.

Her words seemed to have brought Mr. Yi back to consciousness. He suddenly woke up and looked at Wu Wanying in horror. He quickly waved his hands and shouted:

"You, you get out! Get out! I won't answer your questions anymore! I don't know anything! I, I have the right not to answer! Get out! Get out!"

"I see. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Yi."

Smiling at Mr. Yi again, Wu Wanying turned and left the room.

After questioning these three fortune tellers, she had roughly figured out the course of the case, except for a few details which were still unclear.

It just so happened that Daijiro Arai should be in the lounge with Xiaolan and the others now, and she also had a few questions to ask him.

Karasuma Ying went straight to the lounge. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who were originally sitting on the sofa, quickly stood up and said with concern:

"Aying, how is the investigation going?"

"Don't worry, everything is going well."

Smiling and nodding at the two of them, Karasuma Ying looked at Daijiro Arai on the other side.

"Karasuma-san, your shoes." At this moment, Shizuka Shizuka suddenly spoke and pointed to the place where her soles had stepped on.

"Ugh?"

When Wu Wanying looked down, she noticed that for some reason, there were tiny dots of shiny powder where her shoes had stepped.

[Strange? What time is this? ]

"Aying? Where did you get this?"

"No, I don't know..."

"Ms. Ying, have you been to Ms. Edano's room before?" asked Daijiro Arai.

"Ms. Edano?"

"Well, Edano's room was covered with a layer of ridge sand. I heard that it was made of crushed glass wrapped in a thin layer of resin. It sticks easily to the soles of shoes. Every time someone goes to her room and leaves, this stuff is left behind..."

[Lingsha? ]

After hearing Arai Daijiro's explanation, Karasuma Ying looked at the soles of her shoes and frowned slightly.

Shaking her head, she reorganized her thoughts, looked at Arai Daijiro, and asked:

"Mr. Arai, I have a few questions for you."

"Ms. Ying, please speak."

"I heard there was a dispute over money between Ms. Arai and Ms. Edano?"

"Yes, that's true. Edano often comes to Kimiko to borrow money. He borrows money from her quite often. Now the interest alone is a huge sum of money every month..."

"So there is interest?" Wu Wanying was a little surprised.

According to this statement, it should not be called borrowing money, but lending, or usury.

"Ms. Arai, have you found some way to make money recently?"

"Uh, this should be the case..."

Arai Daijiro heard this and said awkwardly, "It was about a week ago. I heard Miwako mention it. She said she found a money tree or something. Since then, she has become nervous all day long...

But I don’t know the details, and she never told me.”

[Are you even on guard against your own husband? 】

But the relationship between this couple is indeed not good.

Without further dwelling on this issue, Karasuma Ying continued to ask:

"Mr. Arai, can the skylight in Ms. Arai's room be opened manually?"

"No, that skylight is remote controlled and cannot be opened manually."

"Who has the remote control?"

"Kimiko always holds it."

"Only that one?"

“Well, there’s only that one… Oh, by the way, the remote control isn’t very good and breaks easily.

Some time ago, Kimiko accidentally dropped it from the table and it broke, and we had to call someone to fix it later..."

"I see...By the way, does Ms. Arai take care of the expensive handbags in her room?"

"Well, Kimiko always cleans them well, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, thank you."

After nodding, Wu Wanying turned around and left.

"Oh! Sister Karasuma! So you are here?"

As soon as she left the lounge, she saw Inspector Megure who was coming down from the second floor.

"What's wrong? Officer Megure? Do you have any clues?" Karasuma Ying stopped and asked.

"Well, there is one. When Takagi-kun was searching outside the fortune-telling house just now, a passerby said that he had heard gunshots in the backyard of the fortune-telling house."

"Is it in the backyard..."

After temporarily saying goodbye to Inspector Megure, Karasuma Ying came to the backyard of the fortune-telling house, where Takagi Wataru was lying on the ground observing everything.

"Strange, why not?"

"Officer Takagi?"

"Oh, it's Xiaoying." Takagi Wataru looked back, stood up and laughed embarrassedly.

"What are you looking for here?"
