Conan: I'm not really a winery boss

Chapter 228 Conan-flavored bait

Tomie took out the cigarette case from his pocket, popped out a cigarette, held it in his mouth, and lit it with Toshiaki Fujisawa's lighter.

"Who do you think is the murderer?"

Conan lowered his head and thought for a while, "If the power outage was intentional, then the person who touched the plug."

"It's Kento Toba." Tomie narrowed his eyes slightly, "But he was deliberately killed by this plan."

"You mean, Kento Toba originally had a collaborator who knew all of his plans?" Conan covered his mouth with his hand and asked in a low voice.

"This is a possibility that cannot be ignored, but it does not rule out that someone has seen his plan and will kill him."

Fu Jiang straightened the bowler hat on his head.

But the latter is much less likely than the former, since the motive is unknown.

Oki Ayako, who had the motive to kill Toba Kento, did not go to make coffee together, and naturally she couldn't see the mechanism designed by Toba Kento.

Except for Fu Jiang and the crazy murderer, no one would use the trick to kill the murderer instead of uncovering the trick.

Therefore, Kento Toba has a collaborator, and his collaborator, after realizing that he was suspected, was worried that he would be dragged into the water if he was caught, so he took the first step to solve Kento Toba.

Conan and Heiji who was eavesdropping on the side also thought of this, and their faces turned ugly.

If this guess is true, it means that the previous clues are likely to be invalid.

The murderer was just an unknown murderer who took advantage of Kento Toba's mechanism and left no flaws.

"What should we do next?" Conan, who realized something was wrong, raised his head and asked Fu Jiang who was very calm.

"This is the authentic Blizzard Villa model, aren't you happy?" Fu Jiang twitched the corner of his mouth without a smile.

If he was Conan, he would have a little interest, but unfortunately he is not, because in this game, he wants to consume pleasure points.

Every time someone other than the murderer dies, 50 joy points will be lost. If it is for the game, the price is too high.

"I lost even the clues, what's there to be happy about?" Conan leaned his head under the sink, "If the murderer wants to kill me next, then I might be happier."

"Aren't you afraid?" Heiji asked suddenly.

"Of course I'm afraid, but if the murderer attacks me, that's the best way for me to solve the murder case before he continues to kill."

As Conan spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he raised his head blankly, looking at Fu Jiang with big and innocent eyes.

"Fujiang Gege, why are you looking at me like that?"

"I have an idea." Fu Jiang said with a facial expression.

Although he didn't smile, Conan felt a grin in his heart.

"Conan, you are a delicious bait." Fu Jiang touched Conan's head.

After all, he is not a detective. Compared with clues and evidence, he only cares about knowing who the murderer is.

This means that he can start from other aspects.

Why did the murderer kill Kento Toba?Most likely it was because he was worried that Kento Toba would expose him.

Then, after Kento Toba's death, Conan and Heiji are still investigating. Even if the murderer is confident that he will not leave any clues, it is human instinct to prevent problems before they happen.

Counting the one killed by Kento Toba, the murderer had already killed an even number of people, even if he killed Conan and Heiji, it would still be an even number, and there would be no difference.

Therefore, after the young Conan and the underage Hattori showed their willingness to pursue and found the right direction, there was a high probability that they would be attacked by the murderer.

Even if the murderer is cautious, as long as Conan and Heiji show enough flaws, he will always be hooked.

Fu Jiang was only dark and not mixed with any malice, but he uttered a plan that made Conan feel creepy.

Of course, there is no Heiji in the plan, because Conan is the bright bait, and Heiji is the dark bait.

The prisoner would not believe that a child could find out his identity, but it would be different if the child was behind a well-known high school student detective.

……

"What? The prisoner is among us?" Kawazu Ikuo asked loudly in disbelief.

"Then, how do you explain the broken glass?" Nanako Shimizu was dubious.

"It must be the innkeeper, he is still alive!" The fat fortune teller was sure of this.

Xiaolan sat on the chair, just watched but didn't join the conversation.

There was worry in her eyes, although she didn't know what Tomie Heiji and Conan had secretly muttered before.

However, Conan's performance is too ostentatious, and the prisoner is likely to find an opportunity to attack.

No matter how smart he is, Conan is just a child.

"He'll be fine." Fu Jiang sat on the chair beside Xiaolan and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Do you have a plan?" Xiaolan was sure.

Fu Jiang shook the coffee cup, took a sip, his eyebrows twitched for a while and put the coffee aside.

He didn't answer, he did have a plan, but the plan didn't guarantee Conan's safety.

But Conan, as the protagonist, thinks his fate is harder than the winery. If Conan dies here, then he'd better give up the mission and run away as soon as possible.

On the other side, several people were arguing endlessly.

Kawazu Ikuo suggested that the few people walk down the mountain after dawn, and then ask for help on the road.

Conan claimed that he had witnessed important clues that may be related to the case, and it took some time to confirm that if the prisoner left the villa now, the evidence might be destroyed.

And Heiji moved out his identity, saying that if someone leaves forcibly, he will let the police consider the person who left as an important suspect.

Thinking that the time required by Conan was not long after all, and it would be a good thing if the murder case could be solved, most people agreed to stay for another half a day.

When the pale golden morning light splashed on the eaves, everyone in the hotel except Fu Jiang drooped their eyelids, nodding their heads, fighting back sleepiness.

"Fujiang Gege, I found something, do you want to take a look?" Conan walked into the hall and asked clearly.

Fu Jiang's legs were on the table, his hands were clasped on his lower abdomen, his body was leaning back, and his pure black pupils had no luster.

He was also indifferent to Conan's question.

"Could it be." Conan panicked, waving his arms and rushing forward, hitting Fu Jiang with his head.

Pa, Fu Jiang grabbed the back of Conan's neck with his right hand, raised him to the level of his head, and rolled his eyes to the right.

"Uh, haha, Fujie Gege, you're fine, I thought you were." Conan heaved a sigh of relief, but was a little scared.

He just thought that Fu Jiang was murdered by the murderer by some unknown means.

He actually forgot that Fu Jiang could sleep in any position with his eyes open.

"Have you found a clue?" Fu Jiang rubbed his temples and asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Well, I and Hecigege have discovered something." Conan said his inference.

It was what Tomie told him last night that the murderer was related to Kento Toba and killed Kento Toba out of fear that Kento Toba would expose him.

Originally, this inference belonged to the meaningless words of "listening to what you have to say is like listening to what you have to say".

But now, combined with the unknown clues discovered by Conan, it seems that Conan Heiji really found some key evidence.

Hearing Conan's speculation, Xiao Hei's eyes widened, the whites of which were a few circles larger than normal, and his fists were slowly clenched.

"I've been up for a day and two nights. It's a good thing you guys are still using your brains." Ikuo Kawazu yawned, "I'm going out for a walk to refresh myself."

"But you act alone, in case you are attacked by a murderer." The fortune teller still suspects that the truth is that the hotel owner Jin Gu faked his death.

"That's right." Kawazu Ikuo sat back and patted the table with his hand, "I'm so sleepy, this murderer is really inhuman, forcing us to stay up all night for so long."

"Then, shall I make you a cup of coffee?" Hitomi Iwai suggested.

After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that no one offered to keep up, Ikuo Kawazu raised his hand, "Then let me go too, it is not appropriate to act alone at this time."

No one objected. Among the people present, apart from Tomie, Kawazu Ikuo, who is a physical education teacher, had the best physique.

After a while, the two came back with coffee.

Including Fu Jiang, who doesn't like coffee, everyone poured a cup of coffee for themselves.

While several people drank the coffee, Xiao Hei lowered his head and showed his white teeth in a sinister smile.
