Great Swordsman Ke Xue

Conan's voice made everyone look at him, and the maid lady was obviously familiar with the name Heiji. She didn't ask questions in confusion, but just shook her head.

"No, although the guest list the host gave me did have this name on it, it seems that Mr. Hattori was about to take the midterm exam, so his mother personally called and declined the invitation."

Conan was obviously a little surprised, but he seemed to have thought of something. He turned back and glanced at Koji Shimizu, then twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly and became quiet again.

Shimizu Koji can probably guess that a while ago, Hattori Heiji and Kazuha almost died. After all, the incident came to light and he was issued a grounding order. Otherwise, for such an interesting thing, Shimizu Koji believed Hattori Heiji is definitely not willing to miss it.

After the maid finished speaking, she seemed to have remembered something. She suddenly raised her head and glanced at Shimizu Koji and Xiaolan who were standing behind the detectives.

Finally, her eyes were locked on Shimizu Koji, "Simi Masai, are you Mr. Shimizu Koji?"

Senjian Fangshi and Motegi Haruka, who were not sure what was going on, turned their heads and looked at Shimizu Koji. There was surprise and confusion in their eyes. It was obvious that they had no understanding of the character of Shimizu Koji.

"Well, it's me."

"I'm really sorry. You are here to attend the invitation on behalf of Mr. Kudo. Please forgive my lack of etiquette on the phone."

"Ah, it doesn't matter. Compared with these famous detectives, I really don't stand out." Koji Shimizu smiled, showing an unprecedented approachability and affability.

This made the three people, except Senjian Yoyo and Motegi Haruka, especially Kaito, couldn't help but murmur.

This was not the first time he had seen such a smile from Koji Shimizu. Last time at the auction, when he came out with something in his arms, he happened to be blocked by the door, and Koji Shimizu had the same smile when he patted him on the shoulder.

Hey, shouldn't he be asked to do some strange hard work again? Returning the stolen things before they are heated, don't do that kind of thing!

After the maid's introduction, the other two detectives were still curious about Shimizu Koji, but they didn't pay too much attention to it. If it were Kudo Shinichi himself, I believe they would be happy to make friends, but only Kudo Shinichi The junior students I valued were lacking in interest.

Motegi Harushi looked around, "Then where is your master who likes detectives now? The master you just mentioned here seems to be a little vague -"

Motegi Harushi's eyes flashed, as if he wanted to see through the maid completely, but to his disappointment, when the maid heard his question, she did not shirk the blame like before, but showed a strange expression.

"Actually, even I don't know this yet. In fact, I haven't met him yet. That's why I didn't answer Mr. Maori's question just now. I'm sorry."

"Didn't you get the guest list?" Conan asked curiously.

"Hey, I did get this, but I got it when I completed the maid interview. And the interview process, now that I think about it, is also very weird."

The maid girl lowered her head as she spoke, probably feeling a little regretful, but judging from the fact that she didn't give up the job, the salary was probably quite generous~.

"My name is Aki Ishihara. During that interview, there were a lot of people who applied for this job because it paid well. However, the actual interview was only completed on a computer in this house. From the beginning In the end, I never met the owner of any villa."

"Wait a minute, if you say that, then were you the one who took the place of Kudo and communicated with Hattori?"

Ishihara Aki glanced at Mouri Kogoro, shook his head, and continued: "Actually, the owner communicated with me through mobile phones and emails about these details, including Mr. Moori Kogoro, you need to bring two The same goes for family members coming.”

"Then the voice on that mobile phone must have been specially disguised, such as the sound of electricity or something, right, Miss Ishihara."

Koji Shimizu smiled and said softly. Aki Ishihara was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Indeed."

"It seems that he is a hidden rat. Just like this villa, he wants to hide in a corner where others can't find him."

Shimizu Koji's comments were very sharp. If the owner of the villa heard it, he would probably be furious and kick him out on the spot.

For this reason, it was the first time that Motegi Haruji and Senma Yoyo took a serious look at the young man Shimizu Koji. Although they could guess that the voice on the phone would change, the young man Shimizu Koji reacted much faster than them. Seconds, this one is already worthy of attention.

"It's really interesting. I think I'm already a little eager to try it." Senjian Fangshi glanced sideways at Mouri Kogoro and Motegi Haruka.

Of course Kaito would not respond to her, but after Motegi Harushi heard this, he straightened up and said with some arrogance, "Actually, I got excited when I saw the weird handle on the door. He’s going to die~~.”

handle?

Everyone paused when they heard this, and Xiaolan at the back had already turned around and looked at the handle on the door. It was different from the door knocker on the outside. The handle inside was just a normal golden cylindrical handle. European This style is common in villa buildings.

The strange thing is also clearly visible, that is, something like water stains, like a water arrow, sprinkled near the door handle.

"What is this? How did it get there?" Xiaolan was a little curious, because when she looked closer, she saw that this was not a water stain that had not been dried off at all.

"Be careful, Miss, I think there may be some historical blood stains there." Motegi Harushi said calmly.

"Eh?!" Xiaolan's expression suddenly changed and she covered her mouth, but she still didn't believe it because Motegi Haruhi's tone was more like teasing her.

"No, Mr. Motegi, you must be joking, right?!"

"No, what he said is true~." The person who answered Xiaolan was not Motegi Haruhi, but a voice from beside the stairs.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a woman wearing a white coat and protective gloves holding a bottle of spray and doing some testing on the handrail of the stairs.

"If nothing else goes wrong, this bloodstain should be droplet blood stains on the handrail at an incident angle of 45 degrees. Moreover, in addition to the bloodstains on the door, there are bloodstains on the wall here and dripping on the floor. Although the blood stains were all wiped away at the time, almost every place in this annex has traces of being contaminated with blood. The blood here is probably not just that of one or two people."

The woman turned her head and seemed to be looking at everyone. However, before the two parties could say hello, a discordant voice sounded from upstairs.

"The analysis is so wonderful~, Luminol, I never thought you would bring something like this here, former prosecutor, Ms. Gunda Ikumi."

Gunda Ikumi was a little confused, but then turned around and looked at the young man in a blue suit slowly walking down the stairs, and his expression relaxed.

"It's an honor for you to praise me like this, Master~." Her eyes were slightly teasing, and it was obvious that her words about Master were not as sincere as they appeared.
