Conan: Naruto

After six seconds.

Yasushi Machida closed the drawing book and held it in front of him with his right forearm, looked at Xiaolan, and said goodbye with a smile:

"I'll go back to the villa first, Maori detective can soak in the hot spring for a while."

"Hahaha......"

Xiaolan covered her red lips lightly, and smiled awkwardly but politely.

Machida Bao nodded slightly, and left without looking back.

--------

after a while.

Kogoro Mori parked outside the car near the villa.

"Oh no!!"

Machida Yasushi, with the sketchbook under his right arm, rushed to Kogoro Mori who was standing in front of the car trunk, who had just changed into regular clothes and closed the trunk door, and said anxiously:

"My elder brother... elder brother he...

He was shot in the chest with an arrow, dead, dead! ! ! "

"what?!"

Mori Kogoro looked at Machida Yasushi in shock.

"Mr. Xiu Zao...he died...?"

Ran quickly walked to the left of Mori Kogoro, and looked at Machida Ho in disbelief.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi walked to Xiaolan's left without saying a word, and looked at Machida Bao solemnly.

--------

4 minutes later.

In the living room of the villa, the door is open.

Machida Ho, who was always holding a sketchbook, stood inside the door, looking sadly at Machida Shuzo, who was being autopsied by Mori Kogoro in the distance.

Tatsuo Yamagami, a bald male lawyer in his fifties wearing a brown suit, white liner, brown tie, and black round glasses, stands to Machida Yasushi's right.

Long Fu looked at the body with an arrow in his chest and a woolen sweater soaked in a lot of blood with a look of unbearable expression.

"One hit kill..."

Kogoro Mori squatted on the carpet in front of Shuzo Machida, who was sitting on the sofa with his back leaning against the sofa. After the autopsy, he stood up and faced Yasushi Machida.

In the next second, Kogoro turned his head to look at the window glass with a big hole shattered not far to the right and the glass shards scattered on the floor, and narrated in a deep voice:

"An arrow shot through the window into the living room, shattering the frosted glass, and the window was locked..."

Mori Kogoro looked at Machida Yasushi who was four meters ahead, and confirmed steadily:

"According to what you just said...

You met lawyer Longfu outside the villa and invited him into the villa.

When you passed by the window of the living room, you looked in the window and found that Mr. Xiu Zhuo, who was sitting on the sofa, had been shot in the chest by an arrow and bled profusely.

Then you hurried into the villa and went straight to the living room.

Excuse me...was the living room door locked before you entered it? "

"Correct."

Machida Yasushi looked at Mori Kogoro, stretched out his finger to the TV in front of the left where there was no picture playing but the screen was on, and he narrated steadily:

"Every afternoon at four o'clock, my older brother would sit there and watch the tapes on the TV."

Machida Yasushi paused for a second, and explained in frustration:

"Brother doesn't allow anyone to disturb him watching the video tape left by sister-in-law."

Mori Kogoro bent over and picked up the remote control on the wooden table in front of the corpse, pointed it at the TV, and pressed the remote control switch. The TV screen instantly switched to Machida Shuzo's wife feeding red-crowned cranes.

Machida Yasushi looked at the TV screen and guessed dejectedly:

"Brother must not want others to see him reminiscing about the past, so he will not allow anyone to disturb him at four o'clock in the afternoon."

"I see. No wonder Mr. Xiu specially installed frosted glass."

Kogoro Mori looked at the TV screen and nodded thoughtfully.

Machida Yasuno looked at Kogoro, and sighed regretfully:

"Brother finally got out of his sad mood and wanted to see red-crowned cranes at any time, so he planned to replace the frosted glass with tempered glass tonight, but now...

Ugh......"

On the other side, Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Xin put their hands in their pockets, walked slowly to the front of the tempered glass leaning against the wall, looked up at the glass, and found in surprise...

There was a scratch on the top of the glass.

Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment, then he quickly came back to his senses, and decisively dragged Dongfang Haoyue on the right towards the broken glass in the window.

They squatted side by side in front of the debris, looked closely at the debris, and found...

The outermost shards of glass lined up in a straight line parallel to the window sill, and there was a small hole in the floor between the scattered shards.

suddenly!

"Uncle Bao, it's bad!!"

Machida Noriko rushed into the living room in panic, stood inside the door, subconsciously grasped the edge of the door with both hands, and looked at Machida Yasushi as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

Hearing the call, Machida Yasushi turned to look at Noriko, and asked in amazement:

"Ah Hao isn't here?"

"I can't find...can't find him..."

Machida Noriko said eagerly:

"And the car we drove is gone!!!"

"Ah... I remember Mr. Ahao, he..."

Xiaolan stood not far to the left of Machida Ho, looking at Machida Ho with hesitation.

"where is he?"

Machida Noriko and Machida Bao anxiously looked at Xiaolan.

Xiaolan clenched her fist with her right hand and placed it on her chest, recalling calmly:

"He drove out of the villa just before five o'clock in the afternoon."

"How does he look?"

Mori Kogoro walked to Xiaolan's right front and looked at Xiaolan with a solemn expression.

Xiaolan looked at Kogoro, thoughtfully replied:

"I feel...he looked a little flustered at the time."

On the other side, Kudo Shinichi dragged Dongfang Haoyue to the right front of the corpse, and found that the surface gloss of the arrow was not right, so he stretched out his left hand and touched the body of the arrow through a white handkerchief.

The next second, Haoyue and Xinyi looked at the black stains on the handkerchief, and thought in surprise in their hearts:

"Soot from the fireplace?"

Kudo Shinichi dragged Dongfang Haoyue and quickly ran towards the fireplace, and at the same time looked up at the upper side of the fireplace, and found that some of the soot had been rubbed off by something.

At this time, Shinichi picked up a small square piece of wood among the many darker long pieces of wood in the fireplace through a white handkerchief, placed it in front of his eyes, and observed it carefully.

Dongfang Haoyue looked at the square wood, and analyzed in surprise:

"It's a small piece of wood that's intact and unburned!

Judging by Shinichi's expression, the little wood must be an important clue, could it be...

Could it be that Xiaomu is connected with some kind of mechanism set up by the prisoner?

After all... some time ago, Shinichi recommended me to read [Sherlock Holmes Anthology] mentioned organs! "
