Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

In the deep night, the snow fell silently like countless ghosts. There was moonlight but no starlight, and the night sky was covered by thick clouds.

The sun hasn't risen yet.

In this villa on the cliff, everyone hurried to the first-floor hall where there was still light.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell…

The crisp sound of the knife hitting the guardrail echoed in the silent space like the footsteps of death.

The sound is getting closer.

Escape?

Where can I escape?

Everyone held their breath.

The butler Ibaraki Jifeng acted decisively, quickly opened the cabinet next to the stairs, and pulled out the iron fence hidden in the dark.

In an instant, the second floor was separated from the first floor by a solid iron fence.

Ibaraki Jifeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained to everyone, "Because this place is located deep in the mountains, the master is worried that wild animals will break into the villa, so this fence was designed when the villa was first built. It is said that this idea was proposed by a mathematics professor and has never been used before, but fortunately it came in handy this time."

As expected, Suzumiya Yoruichi was blocked at the other end of the stairs. The blade in his hand was covered with dark red liquid, and in his other hand he held Yiji's head, which was still dripping with blood.

The air smelled of rust.

The cold black eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses swept over everyone, and a solemn atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire space.

Kudo Shinichi and Jabami Aoi were shocked by the fierce aura emanating from Suzumiya Yoruichi. Their hearts were beating like drums and they almost forgot to breathe.

Suzumiya Yoruichi looked at the iron fence coldly, his eyes were as cold as a knife, as if they could penetrate people's hearts. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of sneer, turned around and walked slowly up the stairs, "I will find other exits, and none of you can escape."

Jabami Aoi swallowed his saliva, and his sweaty palms felt very sticky. He glanced at the dark stairs, feeling uneasy and worried: I'm sorry, Shaonan, I didn't help you protect her.

Shaonan, you must hide well and don't let anyone find you. Suddenly, Jabami Aoi seemed to have thought of something, her pupils suddenly contracted, her heart beat like a drum, and a strong sense of fear and worry surged into her heart. You are not going to die, are you?

Kisaki Eri held two unconscious girls in her arms, and looked at Kudo Shinichi solemnly. The dark red marks on her sleeves were shocking. "Shinichi, are you okay?"

Kudo Shinichi quickly covered his torn sleeve and shook his head slightly, "No, it's okay, I'm fine."

"How can he be okay after losing so much blood?" Hibiki Eri looked worried.

Kudo Shinichi tilted his head slightly, glanced at the housekeeper beside him, and said in a low voice, "Aunt Fei, maybe the murderer is still near us, we must not let our guard down."

After these words came out, Kisaki Eri's expression became more solemn. She looked at the ruddy face of Kudo Shinichi, lowered her eyes to look at the tightly covered arm, and a bold and absurd hypothesis emerged in her mind. She lowered her head to look at the two unconscious girls in her arms, her heart was full of ups and downs, and she repeatedly pondered what was happening around her.

Would the teacher harm other students because of the death of one student?

This seemed too absurd, even completely irrational. Unless this was something they wanted to show to everyone, combined with what Shinichi had just said, Kisaki Eri came to a conclusion: the murderer was among the people in the lobby on the first floor.

Kisaki Eri calmly glanced at everyone, but still didn't see the attendant Matsushima Naoto.

Could it be that Naoto Matsushima is the murderer? After all, he is very familiar with this place, and he can hide in a place where they can't find him, and then wait for an opportunity to act.

But if we talk about people who are familiar with this place, then there is another one, that is the young housekeeper Ibaraki, but does he have any reason to kill the people of the Shirigata family? Is it for the treasure?

Everything that happened here today made Kisaki Eri feel even more uneasy, and she looked out the window.

Without the guidance of moonlight and the embellishment of starlight, the whole world is shrouded in the deep night. As far as the eye can see, there are only snowflakes dancing wildly in the darkness, and the footprints in the snow are covered by the falling snowflakes, and the traces that once existed are ruthlessly erased.

Kudo Shinichi's mind flashed back to the scene not long ago, when he discussed the script with Teacher Suzumiya, Mingyue and Shaonan on the second floor.

The original plan was that he and Mr. Suzumiya would go out again, pretending to see the flashing lights in the villa and rush back, and find a way to meet up with everyone. He would lead everyone to find the coffee table where Mingyue was hiding on the second floor, and create the illusion that Yiji was killed.

Suzumiya-sensei threatened everyone under the pretext of seeking revenge for his students, and attacked with a knife those who stood in his way.

The only difference is that the knife in Suzumiya's hand was soaked in potassium thiocyanate solution, while the clothes on Kudo Shinichi were coated with ferric chloride solution.

The two chemicals reacted when they came into contact, producing ferric thiocyanate, a red complex that looks like blood, and because of the presence of trivalent iron ions, you can also faintly smell the smell of rust.

However, the sudden appearance of the head threw everything into chaos.

Could it be that Mingyue was murdered? !

Just after Mr. Suzumiya and I left, did someone enter the villa and kill Mingyue who was hiding in the coffee table? Kudo Shinichi frowned and crossed his arms in thought.

Who could that be?

Was it the housekeeper Jifeng Ibaraki who tried to drown Shaonan in the bathtub? Or was it Naoto Matsushima whose whereabouts remained a mystery?

Could it be that Jabami Aoi failed to effectively keep an eye on Ibaraki Jifeng, allowing Ibaraki Jifeng to sneak back into the villa and commit the crime again?

If that's the case, is Shao Nan also in danger?

No, there is another possibility.

Maybe Shaonan pretended to drown and let Mingyue rescue him, thus gaining Mingyue's trust and falsely accusing Ibaraki Jifeng of being the murderer. After Mr. Liang Gong and I left, he attacked Mingyue.

However, when Kudo Shinichi recalled what had happened before, he recalled that when the maid Momota Kachiko intended to assassinate Mingyue, Shaonan did not hesitate to stand in front of Mingyue. If Jabami Aoi had not kicked the blade away in time, Shaonan might have been the one injured.

If Shao Nan was the murderer, why would he risk saving Ming Yue? Besides, this villa on the cliff was now isolated from the outside world, unable to seek help from the outside world. If he was seriously injured, he would most likely die here.

Who should I believe? Whose words are true?

Kudo Shinichi frowned in annoyance, and Mingyue's voice seemed to still echo in his ears: "Detective, the real murderer has already started to act. Have you figured out who the murderer is?"

"Damn it!" Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth. Mingyue definitely knew who the real murderer was, but, but...

Kisaki Eri's voice brought Kudo Shinichi back to his senses.

"Has anyone among you ever returned to the villa?" Kisaki Eri looked sharply at Jabami Aoi, Kudo Shinichi and the butler Ibaraki Kimikaze one by one.

Ibaraki Jifeng turned his gaze to Jabami Aoi, "I have been with Master Aoi the whole time. After leaving the villa, we went to see Master Bai Huan. In the snow near the cabin, we unexpectedly found a Hercules puppet that had been stripped of its clothes. The musical instrument in the puppet's hand was also taken away."

Jabami Aoi nodded hesitantly, "I have indeed been with Butler Ibaraki." In fact, Jabami Aoi wanted to testify against the murderer who drowned Shao Nan, but she never expected that she seemed to have become his most favorable alibi.
