Chapter 1001 Murder Case

"No?"

After arriving at the room where Reika Yotsui was originally, she found that there was no one in the room!

Normally, this wouldn't seem like anything, but with Conan here... No, when all the tires are punctured, there's obviously something wrong, and someone did it premeditatedly. Something happened.

"Let's look for each other separately."

However, the villa was very large and there were many vacant rooms, so several people did not give up and looked for other rooms.

However, after searching all the rooms in the villa, Reika Yotsui was still nowhere to be found.

"Is it outside in the woods?"

"Were you kidnapped?"

Some people have raised suspicions that Reika Yotsui is the heir to the Yotsui Consortium. It would not be surprising at all if someone wants to kidnap her for ransom.

Since no one can be found in the villa, it is natural to look outside in the woods. It is possible that the eldest lady went out on her own, but of course there is also the possibility that there is a kidnapper!

If it was kidnappers, they might have punctured the outer tires.

In this way, a group of people rushed into the woods outside the villa one after another and began to search separately.

However……

In the end, they did not find Miss Reika Yotsui, but found Nikaidou Yuji drowned in the fountain on the way back!

"Nikaido!"

"Yuji!"

After discovering Nikaido with his head submerged in the water, several people quickly went over to help him up and then laid him flat on the ground. However, when Xu Yue and Mouri Kogoro put their fingers on his neck, They shook their heads at the same time

"The person is dead. He died not long ago. It is initially determined that he died from drowning. There are signs of struggle. He should have been attacked from behind and then his head was pushed into the water."

Xu Yue is a professional, while pointing out various traces and clues,

He made a quick judgment in his mouth, which was much more accurate than Mouri Kogoro's half-empty bucket of water.

Seeing the surprised expressions of several others, Conan next to him appropriately added:

"Brother Sato is a policeman. Now there is a murder. Let's call the police. Sister Yotsui may also be in danger."

However, when everyone returned to the villa, they found that the phone could no longer be reached. It seemed that there was a line failure, and the mobile phone had no signal in the villa!

Looking back, even the tires of Mouri Kogoro's car had been punctured.

"Damn it! The murderer wants to trap us to death in this villa."

Mouri Kogoro complained.

At this time, as the elder and senior leader of the team, Rokuta Shoji spoke at the appropriate time.

"Don't panic, everyone. We have agreed that Old Tang will drive to pick us up from the mountain tomorrow morning. We just have to wait until then."

But just as he finished speaking, Xu Yue calmly interrupted him and said

"But I guess the murderer won't keep quiet and let us wait until tomorrow."

"What's the meaning?"

The identity of police officer Xu Yue and the identity of detective Kogoro Mori played an important role here, at least subconsciously making others believe in them more.

"If the murderer's purpose was just to kill Nikaido, why did he make it so complicated and why did he cut off our contact with the outside world? So he will continue to do it."

Hearing Xu Yue's explanation, others also thought it made sense.

"What should we do? We can't just wait passively like this."

Mifune Takuya, who was forced to stay, said a little irritably.

"How about we work in pairs and check the entire villa? The kids can just follow Mr. Detective."

The slightly fat Gojo Kyū also gave a suggestion, which was unanimously approved by everyone.

If we separately search for all the hiding places in the villa, we may be able to force the murderer out directly. Even if he is not found, everyone will feel more at ease staying in the villa.

"Yes, but everyone must maintain the highest level of vigilance. If you are worried about being attacked by a murderer, call for help if there is a problem. We will be there if you are not far away."

In this way, the group of people made a preliminary decision. Grouping two by two can prevent the other party from even asking for help at once. The others are not far away, so it is considered foolproof.

The remaining nine people were divided into four groups. Conan, the little bastard, followed Mouri Kogoro in a group of three, and the other groups were two in each group.

The old lady Nanao Mi who is most familiar with the environment is Officer Sato, who has the best cooperation ability and also carries a gun.

In this way, the wardrobe, closet, and all the places under the bed where people could hide were searched, but no trace of the murderer was found. After spending more than an hour, they returned to the hall.

The atmosphere also seemed more silent.

"Okay, everyone, don't be so depressed. I'm going to make you a cup of coffee to refresh yourself."

Granny Nanao Mi also fulfilled her duties and went to make coffee, while Xiaolan followed to help.

After the tense atmosphere before, they suddenly relaxed a little. Everyone also chose to go to the toilet one after another, and left the hall one by one. In the end, only Xu Yue and Conan were left.

"Hey Yue, do you have any clues?"

When there was no one around, Conan also put down his disguise and spoke with a thoughtful expression.

"No, but it is probably certain that the murderer should actually be one of the people in the house."

Xu Yue sat on the sofa and said softly.

"I think so too. I think there was some problem between them, but they never told us."

Just as Conan and Xu Yue were exchanging information and clues with each other, everyone came back one after another. Nanao Mi and Xiaolan also brought back coffee.

After being so busy now, everyone seemed a little tired. Even the little kid Conan didn't refuse the refreshing coffee.

"By the way, I heard you say before that you are all members of a yacht club, right? So I don't know what happened two years ago."

Drinking coffee, of course, must be accompanied by small talk, Xu Yue said casually while looking around at everyone with a scrutinizing look.

After hearing Xu Yue's words, except for Maori and the others, everyone else's expressions changed, looking a little unnatural and sad. Finally, the mature Rokuta Shoji spoke.

"A tragedy happened two years ago, so it's better not to mention it."

"But Nikaido said before that Miss Rei Yotsui's target was confirmed two years ago. I am more concerned about this, maybe it is a clue."

A smile began to appear on Xu Yue's face, which made Conan's expression also change, and he silently pricked up his ears to listen.

Hearing what Xu Yue said, General Rokuta was silent for a moment and then began to organize his words to explain the tragedy two years ago.

That time they went out to sea to play on an island together, but they encountered a storm. At that time, Miss Reika Yotsui was still on a reef island, and this reef island would be submerged at high tide, so at that time Another member of them, Yaeko, went to the rescue with a life jacket and kayak.

But in the end, only Miss Yotsui and Nikaido were rescued. The body of Yaeko was found three days later, and Yaeko was also the granddaughter of Granny Nanao.

After listening to this description for a while, Xu Yue chuckled.

"Perhaps there is indeed some connection. The people who were rescued at that time were Nikaido and Miss Yosui, but today one of them is dead and the other is missing. This is too much of a coincidence."

After hearing Xu Yue's words, several others could not help but be stunned.

"If my guess is correct, perhaps Yaeko's death was not an accident. Since she went out to sea to rescue people, she would obviously bring a life jacket. It is possible that she did not know that there were two people who needed to be rescued, so she only had her own life jacket besides her own. Bring another one, and you will see the result..."

Xu Yue didn't finish his words, but he silenced everyone.

The final result was that both Nikaido and Yosui had life jackets, but Yaeko who went to rescue was drowned in the sea!

"Otherwise, there are many ways to kill people, so there is no need to choose the time-consuming and laborious drowning method."

The more Xu Yue said this, the more silent everyone became. It seemed that this was the truth.

Conan next to him also had a brilliant light reflected on his glasses. Sato, I saw you right. This time we will compete to see who of us can be one step faster!
