Conan Moslin

Chapter 237 The Duke of Darkness (17) Pen

In the darkness, the sound of the hat brim hitting the ground was extremely obvious in the quiet corridor.

"What are you doing! Sister Xiaolan!"

"He's going to escape!"

As Conan questioned him in a frustrated voice, the Duke of Darkness staggered away quickly in the darkness, leaving behind only a top hat and a wig.

Li An did not make any move to hurt anyone. After all, the hesitation of the two people behind him said it all.

Someone that even Karate black belt Ran Maoli can't beat...

Ran Mouri and Akiko Sayama were still standing in the elevator in a daze, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

Li An stepped into the darkness, picked up the flying blade and the top hat in the dim light, and handed both the hat and the wig to the anxious Conan.

She took out a tissue and carefully wiped the pen blade in her hand, then carefully screwed the ink sac and the back cover back on and gently snapped them together.

It fits perfectly.

"Conan, you guys go ahead. Please keep your voice down when you come up later." She spoke in a gentle voice, the sleepiness in her voice barely concealed, "I... am really sleepy. I just need to rest for ten minutes."

"Sister Li An, your pen..."

Conan was anxious after letting the person run away, and only now did he remember what Li An had done just now.

He stared at the pen in her hand for a long time but couldn't see what was wrong with it.

By the way, was he using it to take notes just now?

"Something for self-defense." Li An left a few words, then pushed Conan into the elevator, "It doesn't matter whether you tell the police officer or not, it's already registered..."

She waved at a few people, and without waiting for the elevator door to close, she took Huibara Ai back to the room, opened the door, entered the bedroom, threw herself on the white mattress in the bedroom, and her breathing quickly calmed down.

There was no snoring, she was sleeping soundly.

Haibara Ai stared at her silently for more than ten seconds and found that she seemed to be asleep.

That’s right, it was so late and she was already sleepy.

These guys are really energetic. They have been playing for the whole day, yet they are not sleepy at all?

Huibara Ai covered her mouth and yawned slightly. She leaned on the same bed and fell into a light sleep.

……

The number on the elevator went from big to small, and then quickly turned from small to big.

19、4、2、19、21、12、21、1。

This is the digital change of elevator.

No one sees it, but it's there.

"What? He showed up? What are you doing! Why didn't you catch him?!"

Facing Maori Kogoro's unpleasant questioning, Maori Ran touched the back of her head and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry... I was startled at the time..."

Officer Yokomizo took the transparent evidence bag from the police officer behind him, put the wig handed to him by Conan into it, and held up his top hat to observe it carefully.

There is a small depression in the center of the top hat, which is not deep.

"This is... written by Miss Kuroba Kuriyasu with a pen?"

Conan nodded.

Why can't this young man get along with the pen? Officer Yokomizo was speechless.

"Then why didn't she come down?"

"Sister Li An was too tired, so she went back to her room to rest." Conan hesitated for a moment, but added, "She was sick some time ago and has just recovered."

According to the calendar, she has been cured for more than two months.

But the actual time... is only about twenty days.

Of course, Conan didn't understand this, he was just explaining it for Li An.

Officer Yokomizo nodded: "Then you should indeed have a good rest."

Unfortunately, given the current situation, I'm probably going to disturb her anyway.

"Officer Yokomizo!"

The door behind him was pushed open by several police officers, and a police officer was carried in.

Yokoguro Sango turned his head and saw a police officer who was knocked unconscious: "What happened?!"

"Misawa fainted in the body placement room! It looks like someone knocked him out!"

Kogoro Mori immediately shifted his gaze.

"So...what about the body?"

The police officer holding Misawa immediately replied: "The body is fine, but the Duke of Darkness's clothes are suddenly missing!"

The body room was empty at this time.

"The clothes of the Duke of Darkness?" Kogoro Mouri seemed to have thought of something.

"Mr. Mori?"

"Officer Yokomizo!"

Before Officer Yokomizo could ask, the second call came urgently.

"what happened again?"

Because the elevator was occupied, the police officer who ran up from downstairs gasped: "The Duke of Dark Night... is... in the swimming pool!"

"……What?!!"

……

A light red color spread across the swimming pool, and all the dust and dried blood gradually dispersed.

Floating in the pool was the Duke of Darkness's signature dress, the dress itself looking the same as before.

But the difference is.

"Only a mask and a cape..."

"Then... the most important thing is, where is the Duke of Darkness?"

The police officer who tried to salvage it: "No... I don't know?"

Conan looked at the balcony on the second floor, where he fell during the day.

This should also be the place where this suit was dropped.

But why? The murderer would appear in front of the elevator dressed like this...

If he had to go upstairs for something... he should have taken the stairs away from people.

Why does he have to dress like this?

There was no need for him to risk his life in a dangerous area to steal clothes... this method was too far-fetched.

Could it be that this action was also unexpected for the murderer?

Officer Yokomizo stood up and gave the order: "Okay, let's conduct the investigation again."

"Gather all the suspicious people!"

"Yes!"

"...By the way, Miss Kuroba Kuriyasu from 1902...call her last."

"Yes!"

……

It's early morning.

Li An, who was awakened by a knock on the door, patted his cheek gently.

She managed to sleep for about twenty minutes and now finally felt refreshed.

This enthusiasm wouldn't last long, but she knew herself and knew it should be no problem for her to last two hours.

Li An smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes and put on his coat.

She put the pen into her purse, then put her purse back into her arms before opening the door to respond to the police officer who came to call for everyone to gather.

Li An held the door handle with a gentle smile, as if he was not surprised by the police officer's arrival: "Mr. Officer, are you going to interrogate me again?"

"Yes... yes. You are Miss Kuroba Kuriyasu from 1902... and..."

"Dr. Agasa is resting in the other bedroom. I'll go call him."

She knocked on the door of Dr. Agasa's room.

Dr. Agasa was in another bedroom in 1902, not in 1904.

Because he had been told to stay in his room and he might be interrogated at any time, Dr. Agasa went to bed with his clothes on. When he heard the knock on the door, he quickly woke up, went to the bathroom, wiped his face, and followed Li An out.

Hearing the noise at the door, Haibara Ai woke up quickly. She put on her shoes, got up from the bed, and used the rubber band on the cabinet to tie up her hair.

The girl's childish voice came from the bedroom, with a confused tone of just waking up: "Is it dawn?"

How can it be?

The summer wind blew, blowing up sand from the beach, which hit the exposed railings and glass closely, leaving gray marks on them.

The stars in the clear sky are still shining.

The moonlight is like water, and tonight is still long.
