Chapter 1769: The Incident in the Villa
July 22, Saturday, before noon, outside the problem villa in Tama Mountain.
Facing Sonoko's invitation, Yoji Kuramoto said: "There are still such things, but I'd better come back and look at them. After a while, I won't be able to buy what I want. Go and see for yourself. Let's go." With that, he got into the car.
"Wait, I want to go shopping too." Yamazaki followed and got into the car. "Sorry, Mr. Kuramoto, sorry for the inconvenience, it will be too late to prepare lunch after our car arrives."
"Ah? Oh." Yoji Kuramoto started the car.
Yamazaki said to Sonoko and the others: "I'll come back later, and tell Mei Daizi for me."
"Got it." Yuanzi smiled, "If it's convenient, bring me some ice cream."
Lan smiled and said, "Ah, then I want one too, no, I want two, and one for Conan."
"No problem." Yamazaki smiled.
At this time, the car started and rushed out quickly.
"Mr. Kuramoto left in such a hurry." Hondo Eisuke felt that there was something wrong.
Lan smiled and said, "It must be something I really want to buy."
Yuanzi smiled and said, "I'll find out when he comes back, let's go, let's go see the secret room."...
On the other side, in the station wagon.
Yoji Kuramoto looked at Yamazaki from the rearview mirror, "Well, what do you want to buy?"
Yamazaki said: "It depends on which store you go to. I will go with you. You don't need to ask me."
"That's it." Yoji Kuramoto was silent. ...
On the other side, inside the villa.
Under the leadership of Mei Daiko, Conan, Makino Jun, and Tendo Toru entered the secret room from the closet in the room on the third floor.
The secret room is very narrow, only allowing one person to walk, and can only turn around on the spot.
There was no light in the secret room, but now there was light from a broken window on the second floor.
The secret room leads to the second floor, but there seems to be no other exit, and it looks like a corridor as a whole.
Seeing the broken windows all over the place, Makino Jun and Tendotoro were a little dazed.
"Ah, just now my classmates said that they saw a figure behind the sealed window, so I broke in through the window." Mei Daizi quickly explained, and threw the blame to Hondo Yingyou by the way.
Conan leaned on the window sill and looked at it. Next to it was the second floor window, only half of it, but he didn't see half of the window on the second floor before.
Now is not the time to worry about this. One side of the secret room should be the study, and the other side should be the room of Bao Borenzi.
Conan took a look and found no mechanism, "Hey, is this the case here? What mechanism is there?"
"Call me sister." Mei Daizi rubbed Conan's head.
"Sister Mei Daizi." Conan was helpless.
Mei Daizi let Conan go, and kicked the corner of the wall, "From the echo, there is a hole here, like a dog's hole, I don't want to go through it, you have to go by yourself."
Conan raised his triangular eyes, I'm not a dog.
However, considering that the next door was the room of Hobo Rinko, Conan had no choice but to drill.
Conan fumbled on the wall, but couldn't find the mechanism, so he pushed hard, and the wall bounced off, revealing a hole that could allow a short adult of normal build to slip through.
When it comes to dog holes, it must be a large dog.
Conan stretched his head to look over, and was immediately taken aback. Bao Borenzi was hanging from the ceiling.
"Miss Lunzi hanged herself, come and help me." Conan ran through the passage, which was just right for him.
"What?" Makino Jun and Tendo Toru hesitated for a moment and then went through the passage.
Mei Daizi had a toothache, but she still got through, anyway, helping save people is more important.
At this time, Yuanzi's voice came from outside, "Mei Daizi, where are you?"
Conan hurried to open the door and inform them.
And when they come in,
Mei Daiko, Makino Jun, and Tiantangheng have already put Hobo Rinko down, but she is already dead.
Lan asked, "What's going on?"
Yuanzi smiled and said, "Sure enough, there is another incident."
Makino Jun was very displeased, "So what do you mean?"
"You already knew?" Tiantangheng was also very upset.
Mei Daizi smiled and said: "No, Lan and Conan were infected by Uncle Maori, so we often encounter incidents."
Sonoko explained: "That is the famous detective Mori Kogoro, he is Ran's father, and the kid Conan also boards at their house."
"Detective Mori?" Makino Jun and Tendo Toru looked at each other, but they didn't pursue the matter anymore, and went to call the police.
Lan was speechless, and had no words to refute. Although she didn't want to admit it, the rumors of the Maori detective were well-recognized. In addition to the name of detective, there was also the name of catastrophe. If you really wanted to, you couldn't admit it.
"Hey, is there another person?" Conan realized that there was one person missing, "Where is Mr. Kuramoto?"
"Ah, the murderer must be Mr. Kuramoto," Hondo Eisuke yelled, "No, Mr. Yamazaki left in his car. He is in danger."
"Ah?" Mei Daizi was stunned for a moment and smiled, "It's okay, it's that Cangmoto who should be worried."
"Hey? Is it really okay?" Hondo Eisuke asked.
Mei Daizi smiled and said: "It's okay, but my brother is sneaking away, I know the prisoner, so I go first."
Conan agrees, serious stealing.
"Please, Yamazaki bought lunch for you, Mei Daizi." Sonoko smiled.
Lan asked: "My classmate, why do you say that Mr. Kuramoto is the murderer? Is it because he is not here?"
Hondo Eisuke said: "Didn't he just say that? He knows Miyamoto-san is in the villa, but he doesn't know the secret room, but Miyamoto-san entered the villa through the secret room. He knows Miyamoto-san, so he should know the secret room."
"It makes sense." Mei Daizi said, "I said it out loud, everyone should know."
Yuanzi said: "No, if he happened to be in the bathroom or something, it's normal if he didn't hear or didn't know Mei Daizi's words."
"This also makes sense." Mei Daizi said, "I didn't hear it clearly, but I heard it."
"This..." Hondo Eisuke couldn't say it for a while, suspecting that Yoji Kuramoto was just a detective's intuition and there was no evidence.
Conan couldn't help but said, "Sister Lan, this secret room leads to Mr. Kuramoto's room on the third floor. He must have seen us outside when he came back from the secret room after committing the crime."
"Conan, are you sure?" Lan said, "Maybe there are other entrances."
"Anyway, I only found a pair of entrances and exits," Mei Daizi said, "One is in the room on the third floor, and the other is here."
"That's such a pity," Lan said regretfully, "If we had come earlier, Miss Lunzi might not have died."
"This has nothing to do with us," Mei Daizi said, and then asked, "My classmate, are you sure you saw someone at that time? Was it that Cangmoto?"
"This," Hondo Eisuke said honestly, "I didn't see the person clearly, and I didn't confirm that it was Mr. Kuramoto."
"That's right," Mei Daizi said with a smile, "I tried it. Due to the light, it is difficult to see the situation inside the window from the outside, so the students in this hall must have been dazzled at that time."
"Maybe." Hondo Eisuke was also not sure.
"It must be. At that time, Miss Lunzi must have died, and my classmate was wrong." Mei Daizi smiled, "Ah, maybe you have been infected by Uncle Mao Li."
"Mei Daizi." Lan was a little dissatisfied, "Even if there is, it's not so fast."
"..." Hondo Yingyou was speechless, is this an objection?
"No, no, I suddenly thought of a possibility," Sonoko tremblingly said, "Tell me, what the students in this hall saw may be Miss Lunzi's ghost."
"Ah!" Lan and Hondo Eisuke cried out in shock.
"What happened?"
"What's wrong?"
Makino Jun and Tendo Toru came running back, visibly nervous from screaming.
Lan was a little embarrassed, and gave Yuanzi a reproachful look. She succeeded in teasing people, and she was giggling.
Mei Daizi helped to change the subject, "Well, what did the police say on the phone?"
Makino Jun said, "I didn't get through."
Yuanzi was a little surprised, "Why? I used it before."
Tiantangheng said: "We have seen that the bus has been vandalized."
Makino Jun said: "Besides, Kuramoto is gone, and the car outside is also gone, which is very suspicious."
Lan said: "We met Mr. Kuramoto before, and he said he was going to drive down the mountain to buy things."
Yuanzi said: "The murderer must be him. He didn't want to buy something, but fled in fear of crime and destroyed the phone. He just didn't want us to call the police."
Mei Daizi smiled and said: "Don't worry, with my brother here, he won't be able to escape."
"It's a pity, if only I got in the car just now." Hondo Eisuke said regretfully.
Another question came to Conan's mind, that is, whether the incident that happened to the previous owner of this villa could be a murder incident. ...
On the other side, in the station wagon.
Yamazaki, who was sitting in the back seat, did not speak all the way, because Yoji Kuramoto did not speak, and he himself said nothing to him.
At the beginning, I was not sure that there was something wrong with Yoji Kuramoto, so I just followed him along the way, because if Yoji Kuramoto really had a problem, as long as I followed him, he would not be able to bear it sooner or later.
Later on the road, I felt a sense of danger from Yohji Kuramoto, and realized that Yohji Kuramoto was probably thinking about killing him.
Although I don't know the reason, it doesn't prevent me from thinking about it.
Yamazaki pondered for a while, Kuramoto Yoji could only use the car to break down as an excuse to get Yamazaki out of the car, and then kill him.
However, Yohji Kuramoto never did anything.
The reason, Yamazaki thinks it is thanks to Sonoko, Sonoko called a car before, and the car must be on the way now.
Yoji Kuramoto must be afraid. If he is hit by a car while doing his hands, it will be completely over.
Since Yoji Kuramoto didn't move, neither did Yamazaki, because he didn't know what Yoji Kuramoto did, so he could only wait, and just pester him anyway.
At this time, Yamazaki found that the direction of the car was wrong, not heading towards Tokyo, but heading towards Tamba Mountain Village, Kitaturu County, Yamanashi Prefecture.
Now, Yamazaki couldn't sit still, it would be a waste of time to continue like this.
However, Yoji Kuramoto moved first, and the car stopped on the side of the road, at the corner of a mountain road, which was not easy to see from a distance.
"Ah, damn it, the car broke down suddenly."
Yamazaki understood that Yoji Kuramoto was going to do it, because there was no car here, and the car that Sonoko called to go to the villa would definitely not take this road.
"Hey, wait a minute." Yoji Kuramoto got out of the car, lifted the hood to check, then exposed half of his body from behind the hood, and called Yamazaki to get off the car, asking Yamazaki to help. ...
