Conan: If I Know Magic, I Will Destroy The World

"Could it be Miss Shouyu," the old butler worried, "Could something have happened?"

"I'm afraid so, but at least the body should be found." Conan temporarily put aside the matter of the maid Hinohara, and asked the old housekeeper, "Have you really searched every corner of the villa?"

"Yes, because everyone is looking for the master."

"What if she was killed or gagged and hidden somewhere~?"

Chichu Feng thought of the secret passage under the coffin.

"Has your master done anything strange recently or since half a year ago? For example, renovating the mansion, or buying something."

"Speaking of it," the old housekeeper recalled, "about half a year ago, the master said that everyone in the mansion should have a rest, so he arranged an overseas trip for about a week. Not long after that, the maid Miss Shimizu happened thing."

"Recently?"

"Recently, the master suddenly bought an inflatable swimming pool for children on the Internet, and seemed to have bought a toy airplane or something, and sent a big box. Oh, by the way, Dad recently bought a new lock. refrigerator.

In the kitchen, Conan stood in front of the large locked refrigerator.

Is this one?"

He tried it, and the larger freezer below was indeed locked. The unlocked upper freezer was normal, but it was also full of ingredients.

"Why lock it?"

"I don't know." The chef who was called over shook his head and said, "I heard that there was Advanced meat prepared for today's guests, but it still didn't use it.

"Do you have a key?"

"The master should have it, and Xiao Guang may have it too."

"Little light?"

"The keys to this kitchen and the nearby rooms are kept by Xiaoguang," the chef explained.

"Yes, that's right," replied the maid Hikari Hikari who was found in a daze, "but I looked in the refrigerator, and there was nothing there, only a big can of seaweed.

After fumbling with several keys, the maid Hikari Hinohara finally found the key to open the refrigerator.

Sure enough, as she said, there was only one cylindrical jar in the freezer compartment of the two-layer refrigerator, which was spacious enough to fit two people.

Conan checked the refrigerator carefully, the temperature of the freezer was very low, and there was still ice in it, so there was nothing wrong with it.

"Are there any other places in the mansion where people can hide?"

"I think should not be."

"It's not good!" A doorman in a raincoat suddenly ran into the room, saw the crowd gathered in the kitchen, and shouted, "Something happened, someone died in the forest!"

"forest?"

"Just in front of the gate!"

It was already late at night, and it was still raining outside the villa, the air was stuffy and seemed to be filled with an irritable atmosphere.

The body was located in the forest directly opposite the gate. Yin Cang Shouhe, the daughter of Yin Cang's parents, was tied to a wooden stake with his backhand and fell down under the tree. The body was wet.

The not-so-thick clothes clung to her body, revealing her round and pale chest, and there was still a small amount of water in the gully.

The neck was entwined with a rope, revealing the strangle marks below, his eyes were wide open, and his face looked a little terrified under the washing of the rain.

"It's Shou and Ms.!"

Conan rushed to the scene in the rain, first checked the surroundings of the corpse, and then approached the corpse.

The cause of death was suffocation and strangulation. Judging from the condition of the body, the time of death was about 6 hours, which means that he may have been killed when he accompanied Toakura Kishiji to develop the photos before. ...asking for flowers...

Conan turned to the two guards and asked, "Did you see her come out?"

The mansion has only one entrance and exit, and the gate guard is responsible for opening and closing the iron gate. If there is anything abnormal, the gate guard should be the first to find it.

"No," said the guard with a flashlight, "no one has been out of the house during this time.

"You have been guarding the door?"

......0

"Well, the gate was opened once, because the furniture company's truck came,"

Another fat doorman explained, "The master said that the chairs are old and he intends to replace them with new ones, so he placed an order with the furniture company a few days ago.

"But when we checked the goods, we found that they were mistakenly installed as a sofa, so we asked the truck driver to go back today. By the way, there happened an explosion that caused the tunnel to collapse at that time. We stared at it for a while, but it was just Then for a while."

"Could she have come out at that time?" The thin man glanced at Torkuramoru and the corpse outside the door.

"Didn't they get found when they tied the body to a stake here and went back to the mansion?" Conan mused, "Impossible" It's already too time-consuming just to bring people here.

"And this hole," Conan pointed to the hole dug out next to the corpse, a pit as thick as a stake, "was it ready to be used for stakes from the beginning? Just like half a year ago

"It is true that I want to hang the corpse upside down like half a year ago, but this time the arrangement is not finished, at least the corpse has not been drained of blood, and there are only strangle pills on the neck."
