Chapter 84 Birdman Murder Case
First floor restaurant.
"Ah, you're all ready."
Kiriki Tanaka pushed open the door and came in. Seeing that there was a circle of people sitting around the dining table, he said hello.
"Come on, find a chair to sit on it." Kuroda Naoko said with a smile.
As Tanaka Kirikie walked towards an empty chair, he seemed to ask casually:
"Where are the others?"
"Hano has to be in charge of the after-the-scenes program, so she is thinking in the room."
"Mr. Huang went to the wine cellar."
As Doi Tukki was talking, the door was opened, while Arachie returned with a bottle of wine.
"Hiss, it's really cold."
"I don't know if the escape king and Shadow Master have come here..."
"It's better if they don't come, so as not to start arguing after meeting."
"Are they not getting along well?" Mori Ran asked curiously.
"Yeah, they're arguing about a magician."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about these unpleasant things first." Seeing that the atmosphere was getting heavier, Huang Yize quickly interrupted the topic.
As Arachino said, he opened the wine in his hand and poured it on everyone. Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri shook off his previous displeasure. It looked like a bottle of good wine, which was very rare.
The sea of people is vast, and getting together is fate. When we meet for the first time, we have a banquet and have fun, and we are extremely happy.
"Speaking of this, why haven't Hamano came down yet? Is it going to take so long to prepare for the show?" Tanaka Kirie's words attracted everyone's attention.
"Can you say that because the magic failed before, you are racking your brains to prepare now?"
Conan instantly became alert, no, something was wrong.
"I'll go upstairs and take a look."
"Conan... don't run around, the cold is just a little better, it's true."
Ran Mouri chased after him with concern.
Seeing this, Gu Shuiquan, Huang Yize and others followed.
Conan hurried to Hamano Riya's room. When he opened the door, he saw the curtains on the balcony dancing gently. The open balcony door connected the night with the room, and the chill outside the room was wandering around the room.
He hurried to the balcony, grabbed the railing and looked out, his pupils instantly magnified - where the moonlight fell, Hamano Riki was also lying in the open space in front of the woods, the snow around him was as flat as new, and there was no footprint.
...
Although Tukki Doi looked bloated and fat, he was unexpectedly flexible. He rushed out of the villa among the crowd and rushed to Riya Hamano.
"Don't come over." He shouted to the people behind him, "It's useless for you to come over, he's dead."
"You'd better not come over to avoid destroying the scene."
"What scene?" Kogoro Mouri didn't understand the situation.
"You'll know after seeing it. Mr. Hamano's body is more than ten meters away from the villa, but there are only footprints left by Doi Tower just now."
"What does it mean?" Kogoro Mouri still didn't understand.
"In other words, this is a crime that humans without wings cannot commit - it is impossible to commit a crime!" Conan looked serious.
Tan Shuiquan put his hand on his head, barely able to grab his head, and then pressed his temple with his middle finger, which made Conan struggle with screaming.
"If you are sick, go and rest honestly and don't run around."
"But...ah--"
“…I got it.”
"Xiaolan, please be optimistic about him."
"OK."
Ran Maori agreed, then took Conan in front of him, put his hands on his shoulder, and looked at Riya Hamano's body with a worried look on his face.
Suzuki Yuanko hugged Tani Mizumizumi's arm tightly and pressed it against him, showing a look of fear on her face.
"Who did this? Why did he kill Mr. Hamano?"
"I don't know this, but it's certain that Mr. Hamano was strangled to death. The murderer should have used something like a string to strangle his neck and suffocate him to death, and then transported his body here in some way."
"The suspension bridge has been burned, so the murderer is here now, near the villa."
Tukshu Doi analyzed with a solemn expression.
"You might be trying to say that this murderer is among us, right?" Huang Yize looked disbelief.
"I didn't say that."
"But, we are the only ones here now?" Tanaka Kirike said.
"You are wrong. I think there are other people here. The possibility of the murderer being them is very high." Sukaru said gloomyly.
"Who are you talking about?" Kuroda Naoko frowned and looked at Sukaku.
"Have you forgotten? You guys are so strange. There were two people here to spend the night tonight, the escape king and shadow mage in the chat room of your magic lovers."
The bitter cold wind blew, and the woods were shady, and a solemn aura gradually rose, causing everyone to feel chill from their body to their minds.
"...This makes sense, but what are the reasons for killing people?" Huang Yize was a little confused. Why did the party become like this?
"You mentioned that Shadow Master, Escape King, and Mr. Hamano had an argument?" Tani Shuizumi said.
"That's true. Could it be that you want to say that because of this incident, Shadow Master killed Mr. Hamano? This reason is too far-fetched, right? It's just a little disagreement on the Internet. It's not like killing people because of this incident, right?"
"People can do such irrational things."
"If it is really like you said, is the reason why the escape king did not come?..." Huang Yize only felt it was too ridiculous.
"Really, I've had enough, I'll go back first." Tanaka Kiriki walked straight towards the villa with an impatient look on his face.
"Hey, Miss Tanaka, you are very dangerous, and the murderer may be waiting for us to be alone somewhere." Kogoro Mouri hurriedly chased after him.
"I'll be with you."
...
First floor restaurant.
The lively atmosphere before disappeared, and everyone sat around the dining table with a heavy expression.
"I said, is it really okay? We're just waiting here?" Kuroda Naoko said worriedly.
"It's okay. I called the towing company before. When they come to the towing tomorrow, we just need to shout to them on the suspension bridge and ask them to call the police." Kogoro Mouri said seriously.
If his body wasn't leaning against Kiriki Tanaka, he was really serious.
"Well... don't worry, with me, Kogoro Mouri here, I will definitely find the murderer as soon as possible."
Kogoro Mouri sat down slightly, cleared his throat, and finally remembered what he should do.
"Yes, there must be no problem with Mr. Maori here."
"That's up to you, Maori Detective."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Kogoro Mouri showed off his energy.
