"Nothing, just a little sleepy,"
Mao Li rubbed his eyes and said, "Sorry, I'll go wash my face first..."
"Don't force yourself, Mr. Detective. Just sleep on the sofa for a while," Granny Mi said. "I'll stay here with you."
"It seems that Detective Maori is really tired,"
Seeing Mao Li's sleepy appearance, Liu Tian took the initiative to say, "Aunt Mi, you take care of him here, we will split into two groups to find enough."
The other four people left the living room. Mao Li thought it would be nice to take a short nap, so he lay down on the sofa. But after a while, he felt something was wrong.
He forced his eyes open, his vision was blurry and he could only vaguely see Granny Mi.
What's going on? I'm getting sleepy...
Was he drugged? Damn it...
As he became more and more sleepy, Maori only had time to touch something in his trouser pocket before closing his eyes.
Chapter 40: Kogoro Mori is equipped with high-tech
"Miss!"
"Ms. Lihua!"
Rokuda and others on the first and second floors of the villa were still shouting and searching everywhere, but they still couldn't find Shii Reika.
"Did you find anything?"
"No!"
"Look over there!"
Hearing the shouts from upstairs and downstairs outside the living room, Grandma Mi, who was sitting quietly in the living room, got up and walked to Maoli. Looking at Maoli who was sleeping soundly, she turned around and brought a blanket to cover him.
However, at this moment, the lights in the villa suddenly went out with a circuit breaker sound, and it was pitch black everywhere.
"power cut?"
"Go check the main switch!"
Mifune hurried downstairs to the main switch opposite the kitchen, and suddenly there was another sound of breaking glass.
After the main switch was pulled up, the lights in the villa came on again, and the scene appeared in front of everyone. It was seen that the window in front of the main switch corridor seemed to be broken by something.
"What happened?"
Mifune looked at Ichieda Takashi and Gojo Osamu on the opposite side with doubt and surprise.
"We don't know either."
Yizhi Long looked outside and said, "It seems like someone jumped out..."
"Is it the murderer?"
Mifune gritted his teeth and looked at the dark forest outside. He hurriedly chased out through the broken window, "Damn it! Don't even think about escaping!"
"Three, three ships!"
"Wait a minute, Mifune! This is too dangerous!"
The remaining three people looked at each other and followed closely, disappearing into the night in a blink of an eye. When Granny Mi heard the noise and walked out of the villa, there was no one there.
In the living room of the villa, Maori opened his eyes drowsily and felt as if someone was carrying him on his back. He could hear the sound of water splashing in his ears.
who is it……
While feeling drowsy, Maori subconsciously wanted to reach into his trouser pocket, but his body was unable to move at all.
He felt himself being pushed to the edge of the pool, and vaguely saw the faucet turned on...
Water?! Fuck!!!
"Pfft!"
A huge force came from Maori's neck, and his head was pressed directly into the pool. Amidst the gurgling sound, tap water kept pouring into his mouth and nose. With the uncomfortable feeling of suffocation, the crisis of death surged up.
Maori opened his eyes suddenly. At this critical moment, an unparalleled will to survive burst out from deep within his weak body!
He reached into his trouser pocket and took something out. This action, which was usually very easy, was extremely difficult at this moment. Mao Li almost trembled as he completed the action. He used all his strength to turn the lighter with the firing port facing backwards and pressed the hidden button on the side.
Bilibili! !
"Cough...cough cough!"
Maori didn't know whether the super-strong electric shock released instantly by the lighter modified by Dr. Agasa hit the enemy, but the pressing force behind him obviously disappeared. He immediately left the pool, coughed repeatedly and slid to the ground, and then breathed heavily.
Then, Maori barely managed to stand up by grabbing the edge of the sink with his hands. His vision was blurred and he only had time to see a dark shadow running out of the living room.
Konoa Road! Bakaya Road!
……
Maori gritted his teeth and walked to the door, holding on to the wall.
It seemed like he had been given sleeping pills, and the dosage was definitely enough to kill an ordinary person. Otherwise, with his physical fitness and his well-trained drug resistance, he would not have fallen down so quickly and without any strength at all. Of course, the murderer probably didn't expect that not only was he not killed directly by the sleeping pills, but he also woke up from the pain of suffocation.
Fortunately, after understanding everything, Mao Li decisively commissioned Dr. Agasa, a well-hidden black technology inventor, to make some gadgets for him. For example, the lighter he used to fight back just now, which can be used as an ordinary windproof and waterproof lighter, and can also instantly burst out a super strong electric shock - it's a pity that the electric shock didn't hit the opponent directly, otherwise it would definitely shock that guy into a fool.
"What's wrong, Detective Maori?"
When Granny Mi returned to the living room, she was shocked to see Maoli in a wet and miserable state. She quickly took a towel and asked, "What happened?"
"nothing,"
Mao Li smiled softly, took the towel and said, "Grandma Mi, where are the others?"
"There was a sudden power outage and a window breaking sound, and then they all chased each other outside into the forest,"
Granny Mi said worriedly, "I saw how panicked they were, so I wanted to go check... Detective Maori, are you really okay?"
"I am fine."
Mao Li wiped the water off his face and looked outside the villa with a sharp look in his eyes. "Grandma Mi, could you please call them all back? Just tell them that I was attacked by a murderer."
"Ah good……"
Granny Mi left the villa somewhat confused.
In the corridor west of the kitchen, Maori leaned against the wall and walked to the broken window, panting slightly.
The man just now should be the murderer of Nikaidou, and it is very likely that he is one of the four men. As for Mifune, who he previously believed to be innocent, he cannot be completely cleared of suspicion now, because there may be an accomplice.
Of course, Miss Lihua, who has been missing until now, is definitely the key to this case. Whether she was killed or was one of the murderers, Maori is not sure yet...
Mao Li returned to the kitchen, and the water in the sink was still overflowing and flowing all over the floor. He turned off the faucet, and the moment when the murderer pressed him into the water just now came to his mind again.
The murderer was a man, that's right. When Granny Mi went to make coffee, everyone in Rokuda had left the living room. Anyone could have secretly put sleeping pills in the coffee, but he just took a random cup of coffee at the time...
Random killings?
Then why just put sleeping pills?
Mao Li put his hands in his pockets and went back to the living room. After a long time, Rokuda and the other three returned to the villa one after another.
"What? Detective Maori was attacked by the murderer?"
"How is this going?"
Liu Tian and his companions looked quite surprised and did not see anything unusual.
"Detective Maori, are you okay?"
"fine,"
Mao Li glanced at the people one by one, "The murderer put sleeping pills in a cup of coffee beforehand, I just had bad luck and happened to drink it."
"Sleeping pills?"
Everyone subconsciously looked at Granny Mi, "Aunt Mi, you..."
“But I only put sugar in it…”
Granny Mi explained anxiously.
"The culprit is not Granny Mi, but you guys are all very suspicious. You might have pretended to go into the forest to chase the murderer, but secretly came back. As for the sleeping pills... you were not in the living room when Granny Mi was making coffee, so you had the chance to put them in when Granny Mi wasn't paying attention."
Although he had just been attacked by the murderer, Maori's thoughts were still extremely clear at this moment.
"Don't be ridiculous,"
Mifune said dissatisfiedly, "You should know that I am not the murderer. Besides, isn't there Miss Reika? Maybe she did it."
"It wasn't her who attacked me, I'm sure of that."
Mao Li glanced at Mifune, then asked the others, "Did you see anyone coming back when you chased them out?"
"Well, we all got separated at that time,"
Ichieda Takashi recalled, "I followed Mifune because I was worried that something might happen to him, but I soon lost sight of him..."
"what do you mean?"
Mifune glared, "I haven't told you yet, who knows where you've gone?"
"Okay, everyone stop arguing!"
Rokuda stopped the two and looked at Maori, "Detective Maori, are you saying that the criminal is among us?"
"right,"
Mao Li expressed his point directly, but he couldn't tell anything from their expressions, so he asked further, "I remember you were all searching the villa, right? Why did you go to the forest again? And what about the power outage?"
"We searched the villa thoroughly, but still couldn't find Miss Reika," Ichieda Takashi explained, "Then there was a sudden power outage. We rushed to the circuit breaker and found that someone had broken the window. Then Mifune chased after her..."
"Did you see the murderer?"
"No."
"Can you reenact your actions during the power outage?"
Maori pondered for a while, and seeing that he couldn't get anything out of them, he took everyone out of the living room to conduct a live simulation.
After several people rushed to the corridor switch position according to the situation when the power outage occurred, Mao Li continued to ask: "Did you find any problems?"
"What could be the problem?"
Several people shook their heads again, "In that situation, how could we pay attention to other situations?"
"That's it!"
Mao Li frowned and said nothing more. He checked the time and said, "It's already past four in the morning. The car won't arrive for another three hours. Let's all stay in the living room before then..."
"I don't need it,"
Mifune waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'd better go to the room on the second floor and rest. The detective uncle is unreliable. I still have to protect my own life. I don't want to stay with a murderer anymore... By the way, if you want to make any more coffee, you don't have to prepare mine. Who knows what else will come out."
"Three ships..."
"Then I'll go back to the room too," Rokuda followed suit, "Call me if the car to pick us up arrives."
"Really, wouldn't it be safer for everyone to get together?"
After Mifune and the other man left, the rest of the people followed Mori to the living room, slowly waiting for time to pass.
As the wall clock ticked, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping.
"If this continues, we don't know when the car will come to pick us up tomorrow..."
Gojo Osamu murmured as he stood by the window, and then looked at Maori worriedly, "Mr. Maori, you are a famous detective, right? Can't you find the murderer quickly?"
Mao Li ignored him and picked up the air conditioner remote control on the table to check. It seemed that someone had set a timer on it, and there was a "12:30" timer setting on the remote control.
"Detective Maori?"
Seeing that Mao Li did not respond, Gojo Osamu shouted again in confusion.
(Could it be that the sleeping pills the criminal gave this detective just now damaged his brain?)
Chapter 41: Maori's Rage Value Has Accumulated
Mao Li certainly didn't have a problem with his brain. In fact, he was now extremely clear-headed:
