"Well, there seems to be no signal here..."

The doctor and his car were parked on the winding road on the mountainside at this time, so it was not surprising that there was no signal. It's just that this fact is not friendly to them now.

"Then we have three options now." Conan stopped complaining. He was used to the doctor's unreliability. Now it is more important to solve the problem. "First, let's go back now. There happened to be someone on the way here. Gas station. Go there and buy a tank of gas."

“That place takes about two hours to walk.”

When they heard that it would take so long, the three of them shook their heads.

"Two, wait here and see if there are any passing cars. Please ask them to give us a ride back to the gas station."

"Three, go to the villa on the top of the mountain to seek rescue."

It was already dusk, and the villa on the top of the mountain had lights on early. It is certain that there are people living inside.

Conan is also more inclined to go to the villa to seek rescue.

At this time and because it is still a winding mountain road, it is unlikely that any cars will pass by in a short period of time.

If they had time to wait for the car, they might have reached the villa on the top of the mountain long ago.

Even if the owner of the villa didn't have any gasoline in reserve, they definitely had a landline phone. Borrowing their phone to call Subaru Okiya over would be an option.

Everyone else agreed with Conan's statement and decided to walk to the mountaintop villa to seek help.

Just as they were about to leave, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from behind.

The doctor who did not want to climb the mountain was overjoyed when he saw this. He waved his arms and greeted the oncoming vehicles from a distance.

This man was driving an antique-level Rolls-Royce. This style of Rolls-Royce has long been discontinued. People who can still afford to drive such a car are basically out of the ordinary rich category and must be very rich.

Otherwise, the annual car maintenance fees alone would be astronomical.

Generally, people with small assets cannot afford to drive even if they bite the bullet and can afford it.

Fortunately, this super-rich man was not as difficult to get along with or domineering as he imagined. Even if he was suddenly stopped by a stranger, he still asked calmly and gently: "Excuse me, what happened?"

"I'm really sorry." Dr. Ali said with a smile, "Is it convenient for you to take us to a nearby gas station?"

"Yes, yes, but can I ask the reason?"

"We were planning to go camping, but we ran out of gas on the road and couldn't get through to the phone. There was really nothing we could do."

"I see, that's it." The originally gentle car owner's face suddenly changed. While making a face, his tone also became very harsh and mean, "Then you just wait here for the rest of your life! Stinky old man!"

After that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

The roar of the engine was accompanied by wild and mocking laughter.

This sudden change left the doctor and others stunned.

After a period of time, the three of them said angrily: "Who is this person? If you don't want to help, forget it, but you still speak so unpleasantly!"

"Unfortunately, we are afraid that we will have to seek help from this unpleasant person again."

"what?"

Conan pointed to the villa on the top of the mountain, "The maintenance cost of the car he just drove is astonishingly high. This kind of antique car is the favorite of the rich. A guy who drives this kind of car around in the mountains, He is probably the owner of the villa on the top of the mountain."

"what?!"

"No! Who wants to beg that kind of person again! I would rather walk to the gas station!"

"It's also possible that he was just passing by." Haiyuan raised another possibility, "Anyway, it doesn't take long to walk from here to that villa. There's nothing to lose in going over and taking a look."

"It seems so, let's go together."

Just when Conan and the others decided to walk to the mountaintop villa together, an extremely violent explosion suddenly came from above their heads.

Conan looked up and found that the location of the explosion happened to be the villa on the top of the mountain.

As he watched the billowing smoke rising into the sky, Conan heard the crisp knocking sound of metal falling on the ground.

When he heard the sound, his pupils suddenly tightened.

What fell to the ground was the statue of the Goddess of Ecstasy on the hood of the Rolls-Royce.

Unless there is a second Rolls-Royce in this villa, the car that exploded must have been the car driven by the man just now!

Conan, who realized this, ran towards the top of the mountain without bothering to explain to others.

At the same time, Lu Ren also reacted.

He stood up from the ground and pulled Kitajima Xiao up. "I'm sorry, are you okay?"

The moment he heard the explosion, Lu Ren's first reaction was to throw Bei Dao to the ground and try his best to protect her with his body.

After two seconds, he realized that the explosion location was not inside the villa.

"It's okay." Bei Dao stood up and patted any dust that might be on his body, "It seems we can't leave for the time being."

The explosion just now shook the walls of the villa a little. An explosion of this magnitude would definitely bring in the police.

They will definitely not be able to leave until the police complete their investigation and questioning.

"It's not a big problem. Anyway, there is dinner prepared here. Let's just finish the meal and leave."

Lu Ren was very open-minded about this. It was better to deal with the police than to watch those jealous men and women messing around.

"No, it's bad! The garage is on fire!"

At this moment, the man who had just gone out to check the situation had returned.

"If there's a fire in the garage, call the fire truck." Eina Ginbayashi reassured with a smile, "As long as everyone is fine, it's not a big deal."

"But, but the luxury cars are also in there!"

"what?!"

Now everyone hurriedly started to put on clothes and shoes.

In the previous rounds of the game, several kings had ordered two or three people present to take off a certain piece of clothing on their bodies.

Except for Ena Ginbayashi, who used the accessories and shoes she had on her body instead, everyone else took them off without compromise.

Those who are unlucky and always get picked will basically fail to pass the review if they write.

After a flurry of excitement, Ena Ginbayashi, who was most neatly dressed, was the first to rush out.

"Let's go out and have a look too." Lu Ren took out two disposable masks from his pocket and handed one to Kitajima Xiao, "Let's go out and have a look too."

"Brother Ren, you are still wearing a mask." Looking at Lu Ren, who was wearing a crisp suit, Kitajima Xiao was very curious about this.

A suit is no better than a windbreaker, and the pockets are not that big. It’s hard to imagine why Lu Ren carries this disposable mask with him.

"Preventing the flu. But now it's about preventing toxic substances in the air after the explosion."

"Ah."

The two put on their masks and left the villa. From a distance of more than ten meters, they looked at the burning garage where the explosion had occurred. Through the flames, the outline of a car could be vaguely seen.

Eina Ginbayashi was closer to the garage. After some identification, she seemed to be sure that the vehicle in flames was the car her fiancé drove when he went out.

Her emotions became extremely excited, and she cried and shouted about rushing in. The woman accompanying him quickly hugged him from behind.

Next to her stood a golden retriever with sleek fur, barking at the fire.

"I just made a call. President Shuto said he will be here soon." Looking at the cheering flames in the distance, Bei Dao was silent for a while, "Brother Ren, this was an accident."

"From the time we arrived at the villa until the moment the explosion occurred, everyone stayed in the house. Under normal circumstances, I would think it was an accident. But..."

Lu Ren pointed at the panting little boy in a suit at the door, "Have you seen him?"

"Conan? Why is he here? They didn't go camping."

"Don't worry about why they are here. Just remember that as long as he is present, this explosion cannot be an ordinary accident."

"What could that be?"

"It was a well-planned murder."

After noticing Conan's existence, Lu Ren immediately started the identification.

The first target of the appraisal was the tearful and grief-stricken fiancée of Goki Shuto, Ena Ginbayashi.

【Homo sapiens (joy)】

Obviously crying so sadly...

The acting is really good.

The purpose of her murder was the same as yesterday, was it to seize family property?

But this shouldn't be the case. She has not officially married Shuto Gouki and has no inheritance rights.

Could it be that a suicide note was forged in advance?

"Murder case?!" Bei Dao's voice subconsciously rose a little. Then she realized it and asked in a low voice, "He was murdered? Where is the murderer?"

"The murderer is his fiancee, Miss Yinlin, but the specific method is not clear yet. We are very busy tonight."

"Brother Ren, I believe you. You will definitely be able to find evidence of her crime."

"Actually, these are all trivial matters, not important." Lu Ren smiled and whispered, "What's important is that Shuteng Haogui is dead, and the Internet group he built has lost its backbone. And we are the first batch For those who have received this news, this is the best opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation. We must not let go of this opportunity."

"Taking advantage of the fire..." Lu Ren looked at the burning fire in front of him and muttered to himself, "This word is really appropriate."

"Wouldn't it be good to do this?" Bei Dao felt that this was a bit mercenary.

"If we don't do it, others will do it." Lu Ren pointed to Bei Dao casually, "Look at these people, especially the men, some of them are grieving for Zhou Teng. Their eyes are shining so brightly You can just take it off and use it as a car light.”

"This means it's in front of everyone, so they can't call directly. After the police investigation is completed, they will definitely swarm over and feast. If we can take advantage of this group of dressed-up beasts, we might as well let us do it."

"Well, I see."

"When the matter here is resolved, I will ask Dongbao to spread the news as quickly as possible. When their company is in turmoil, you can just..."

Lu Ren made a slashing motion with his hand.

"Ah."

"Brother Ren, why are you here?!"

Conan, who had regained consciousness, quickly became aware of Lu Ren's presence.

"We should ask you this question. Bei Dao and I were invited to attend the dinner. But you, you didn't go camping with the doctor, why are you here?"

"Well, there was a little accident on the road. The doctor and the others will be here soon." Conan didn't want to mention the matter anymore, and instead focused on the case itself, "Do you know the deceased?"

"The deceased's name is Shuto Goki, and he is the president of an Internet company. We are here today to get to know him."

Internet company?

Isn't it the type of company Lu Ren is running now?

Peers are enemies, business rivals, and killers.

A bunch of not-so-pretty words flashed through Conan's mind.

"You kid." Lu Ren could see what Conan was thinking. He raised his hand and gave Conan a headache, successfully interrupting the latter's delusion.

"I can tell you clearly that today's explosion was not a simple accident, but a murder case. But the murderer was not me. If I really wanted to touch him, I wouldn't have made such a big noise."

It seems so.

Conan covered his red forehead. Lu Ren's brain collapse just now was a bit severe. He said with tears in his eyes, "Brother Ren, do you know who the murderer is?"

"The murderer should be that one." Lu Ren pointed out to Conan, "She is Shuto Gouki's fiancée, and her name is Ginbayashi Eina."

"Her killing method is not clear yet. We came here at 4:30 in the afternoon." Lu Ren looked at his phone, "It is now 6 in the evening. I can guarantee that she will stay here during this hour and a half. In the villa. And not only her, but everyone else also stayed in the villa, and they never left my sight."

"Brother Ren, how can you be sure that the murderer must be Miss Yinlin? It was not a simple accident?"

Of course it's because I saw you.

This cannot be said directly.

"One is the feeling, and the other is that her reaction when the incident happened was too calm."

"calm?"

Looking at Eina Ginbayashi who was crying so hard that she almost fainted not far away, Conan's eyes looked a little strange.

You call this peace?

"I don't mean now, but when the explosion happened. At the moment when the explosion happened, most people in the villa, including me, chose to lie down on the floor immediately. And she was one of the very few No one took any action. The response was unusual."

"Then maybe she was simply frightened, so she stayed where she was and didn't move."
