Zenzo Oonuki raised his head and looked at Mizuguchi Kana.
The maid replied tiredly.
"It's locked from the inside, so we have to break it open."
"The door is locked from the inside? Is there a window in the room? Is there any sign that the window was opened?"
Oonuki Zenzo frowned.
The reply also surprised the old lawyer.
"There are windows, but the windows, like the doors, are locked from the inside."
"…By the way, there was also a person with a very strange accent accompanying the police at the time."
"I don't know his name..."
Zenzo Oonuki wrote down Junya Tokitsu's name in his notebook.
He thought about it and finally made an inquiry.
"So, when you were preparing dinner, were you, the housekeeper, and the villa owner together?"
Mizuguchi Kana shook her head.
"No... the housekeeper left for a short while, and the eldest lady's father also..."
(So, none of the three people have an alibi? This is easier than I thought.)
The old lawyer nodded and wrote the last of the information down in his notebook.
Then he stood up and spoke seriously.
"Please be patient, Ms. Mizuguchi. No matter what the criminal asks you, don't say anything and don't confess."
"Please wait for me to negotiate everything. This is for your own good. Please."
"Um……"
Yoshizo Onuki stood up and left the room.
However, the female detective next to her did not rush to leave. She looked at her friend and spoke softly.
"Don't worry, I will investigate the truth of this matter...I will definitely find the real murderer."
"Kaina, we will come again tomorrow... Please be patient for a while."
Looking at the familiar face of Nanatsuki Koshimizu, Mizuguchi Kana nodded slightly.
"...I understand, Nanatsuki."
The author fell into a deep sleep when he dozed off, so he didn't have time to write. He will post two chapters first, and the rest will be posted later.
Chapter 192 Legs are just decorations, you adults won’t understand
—————May 6, 8:30 a.m.——————
—————Shikoku region, hospital, special ward——————
"Xiang Yuan, why does your doll only have an upper body and no legs?"
"Also, why doesn't your doll have a right arm? What's your special hobby?"
Uncle Maori looked at the magic doll in Xiang Yuanguang's hand with some curiosity.
Hearing this, the hedgehog-headed lawyer sneered.
"Humph, legs and the like are just decorations, you adults wouldn't understand."
"As for the right arm? Nero originally had a right arm, and then I removed it after thinking about it."
"I plan to use a piece of iron and connect the arm to the torso with a chain."
"This way, I can throw my right arm out unexpectedly when I stick out the puppet."
"So that the end of the chain can break the speed of sound, and a single blow of the Sea Tiger Explosion Fist can send others to heaven."
Damn, what nonsense is this hedgehog-head talking about again?
So you are not an adult? You are amazing, you are noble!
(Wait, something seems wrong?)
Kogoro Mori's eyes became subtle as he looked at the magic doll.
"Xiang Yuan, are you a magic puppet or a murder puppet?"
"Although the iron right arm isn't particularly heavy, it would be very dangerous if it were thrown at the speed of sound."
"What are you planning to do? Are you going to kill someone with this thing? Then I'll send you to the police station."
(No, you should be doubting whether Xiang Yuan can use this thing to achieve a sonic effect.)
(How is it possible to use the moment the doll pops out to throw it at the speed of sound?)
Conan, who was lying next to him, complained in his heart.
But then he thought again, this was Xiang Yuanguang, and he felt relieved.
Not everyone can get shot in the left arm, have an explosion hit their face, and then lie down for two days before recovering with full health.
If he was in the second carriage, he would probably have become a scrapped washing machine.
"Tsk, just think of it as a means of self-defense for me."
"There's a high wall between bare-handed and armed, you know?"
Xiang Yuanguang removed the bandage on his arm, and the wound on his left arm had already healed.
At this recovery rate, we will be able to return to normal soon.
Now it’s just that my left arm is not convenient to exert force.
"Then I can do my best trick and let my big boy fly out and give him a blow."
"Isn't this much more convenient than me rushing over with bullets on my shoulders?"
As the Hedgehog-head finished speaking, he put his magic doll into a small wooden box.
After having a physical examination yesterday, he couldn't wait to be discharged from the hospital today.
It is very comfortable to lie in the hospital and do nothing.
However, Xiang Yuanguang doesn't like this kind of life. It's too boring and not good at all.
"Well, Uncle Maori, Conan, I'm leaving now. See you next time in Tokyo."
"Oh, by the way, now that I'm here, I'll just travel around Shikoku and have some fun during this time."
"If you have any problem, you can call me and I will definitely come to help!"
Can you help, can you give us a hand?
Uncle Maori's eyes widened and he shook his head vigorously.
"Don't underestimate me. I'm the famous detective Maori Kogoro. I don't need your help."
"When the time comes, don't run into any serious trouble and call me crying."
"Oh, I hope so... Oh, by the way, before I go, I want to say something."
The hedgehog-haired lawyer put on his tattered blue coat.
He stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then said meaningfully.
"One lie requires a hundred or a thousand lies to make up for it. This kind of thing cannot last long."
"Sometimes, being honest is more valuable and safer than lying."
The Death God elementary school student lying on the hospital bed pushed up his glasses.
He knew who Xiang Yuanguang was talking to.
This was undoubtedly a reference to the fact that he had concealed his identity as Kudo Shinichi from the Mori family.
But... now is not the right time. When the time comes, he will tell it himself.
"Alright, alright, let's go - by the way, don't forget to pay for the bed repair." "You don't want to break the bed and then just walk away, do you?"
Kogoro Mori waved his hand and signaled to Genmitsu to hurry up.
Then I was sweating profusely and couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
(Because Mr. Libnand died in the fire, the crew was arrested and extradited to the Republic of Narikin for trial.)
(The Silver Star train also didn’t get any commission this time. If this continues, will I have to return again…)
(Have you returned to your plain lifestyle? The firm is now completely supported by the commission from Mr. Shimazu.)
Crunch——————
The door is closed.
Coming to the corridor, Xiang Yuanguang let out a long sigh.
