Chapter 762 Add fuel to the fire?
Kogoro Mouri originally wanted Xiaolan to call the police, but the call couldn't go through because there was no signal on Xiaolan's phone.
Seeing this, Mibu Hyakuyono took advantage of the situation and pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said, "There's a phone in the kitchen. Let me call the police."
Maori Kogoro saw that she had already opened the kitchen door, so he did not stop her, but just reminded her: "Please tell Officer Megure of the Metropolitan Police Department that Maori Kogoro is looking for him."
Not long after Mibu Momoyono entered, she heard her voice: "Excuse me, is this the police station? A guest of ours has died. Please come over as soon as possible--"
Although he couldn't see her movements, Chu Ming could guess from outside that the call was definitely not made to the Metropolitan Police Department. After all, you can't just pick up the phone and make a call to the police. Doesn't dialing take time?
Moreover, the content of this phone call is also very strange. It did not mention the location nor did it say that it wanted to find Officer Megure. Do you think you can locate the location automatically as a police officer?
However, everyone's attention was now basically on Akaza Naruya who was lying on the ground, and they didn't pay much attention to the situation with Mibui Momoyono, so they let her get away with it.
Because of this incident, everyone had no time to eat and moved the location again, this time to the house where Director Izumi often worshipped the god of the mansion.
After sitting with his back against the statue, Director Izumi showed a relieved expression: "Now that I'm here, I feel blessed by the gods. I feel much more at ease."
Everyone left in a hurry, and Akaza Naru also died of poisoning, so no one touched the food on the table.
After Chu Ming and everyone else left, he took out a plate from the kitchen, put a little of his favorite dishes on it, and then disguised all the dishes back to their original appearance. Then, he happily held the plate and silently followed everyone to a new monitoring location.
Nestled in the tree, Chu Ming stuffed a big bite of steak into his mouth and chewed it. Hmm, not bad, the taste of this restaurant is quite good. The steak is tender and juicy, with the pepper flavor and meat aroma intertwined, plus the slightly chewy chewy texture, which makes Chu Ming, who has been hungry since morning, have a big appetite.
However, he was still very careful to hide, and stayed downwind, for fear that the aroma of the food in his hands would be blown away by the wind and attract everyone's attention.
However, even Conan didn't have the mind to pay attention to the outside of the window at this time. He seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Mibu Momoyono, so he quietly ran out and went to the place where Mibu Momoyono had called before.
After a while, several employees inside looked at each other and found excuses to go out.
Chu Ming did not move to another place and still kept his eyes on the target of this mission. So far, only one insignificant person, Akaza Naruya, had died. Although Director Izumi had encountered several crises, he was not even injured. He was indeed a bit slow.
When Chu Ming finished eating the food on his plate, he suddenly discovered that the statue behind Director Izumi seemed to be slightly tilted.
So those three guys haven't given up yet, and they changed their tactics after getting out?
After all, Toba Hatsuho was the best in the training camp. She probably noticed something was wrong, so she stood up calmly and said she would go to the entrance to see if the police had come, and then went out.
Chu Ming put the plate into his system backpack, ready to deal with it after he went out, and then followed Toba Hatsuho away.
As for Director Izumi, Chu Ming no longer paid attention to him. No matter how weak Kogoro Mori looked now, he was an excellent police officer in his time. It should not be difficult for him to rescue people from under the collapsed Buddha statue.
He now wanted to see what Toba Hatsuho was going to do.
Toba Hatsuho went out and turned into the locker room. When she came out, she was wearing the mask that Mibu Momoyono had just worn, and she also put on the kimono that she had worn before.
She held a Noh mask in her hand and walked quickly towards the well behind the shrine.
Nagata Seinosuke was carrying stones from the side of the well and throwing them into the well, trying to increase the weight on this end of the rope, but he seemed to have underestimated the weight of the Buddha statue. Even if he threw all the stones from the side of the well into the well, the traction force still did not seem to be enough.
As he was frowning in thought, he saw Toba Hatsuho walking over wearing a mask. He subconsciously thought it was Mibui Momoyono, so he said, "It's you. I'm just a little bit short of success here, you——"
Before he finished speaking, Toba Hatsuho put the mask in her hand on his face. As soon as it touched his face, he let out a muffled groan, and then fell into the well with his face covered with pain, covering his throat.
In this way, combined with the weight of his body, the traction force was more than enough. Chu Ming watched the rope used for traction being dragged the moment he fell, and the pulley kept turning. Soon he heard a loud noise coming from the room of the shrine in front.
Chu Ming was a little surprised. Seeing that there was no one around, he jumped down from the tree and landed behind Toba Hatsuho.
When Toba Hatsuho heard the noise, her eyes became fierce, and she turned to look in Chu Ming's direction. When she saw Ming's face clearly, she relaxed, took off the mask on her face, and said softly: "Lord Granburch?"
Chu Ming stepped forward and used his foot to push the mask that Nagata Seinosuke had dropped by the well when he fell. "Poisoned? Did you put poison in the mask?"
Toba Hatsuho picked up the mask on the ground and showed it to Chu Ming: "This is a mask with a mouth that Izumi Jisaburo specially asked my father to customize in order to create an overall atmosphere. There is a protruding piece of wood at the mouth position. When wearing it, this piece of wood will be held in the mouth, so that you can't speak, so as to maintain a quiet atmosphere in the field."
Chu Ming took the mask with great interest and looked it up and down. It was indeed very quick and efficient. It could not only kill the victim with one blow, but also block the victim's screams, killing two birds with one stone.
I have to say that although the pre-swing is very long, Toba Hatsuho's killing method is still worthy of praise.
Chu Ming was about to say something when he heard footsteps running towards him from afar. He made a gesture to Toba Hatsuho and turned over and jumped onto a big tree beside the well.
Toba Hatsuho also threw away her mask, turned around and left quickly. Chu Ming saw her reach into her pocket and seemed to take out a lighter.
Ok?
Are you trying to set a fire?
That’s not bad. After all, as long as the fire is big enough, it will be difficult to leave any evidence.
After a while, Xiaolan and Conan hurried over from the corner. Seeing the mask dropped on the ground, Xiaolan looked into the well with some surprise. At this glance, she saw the body of Nagata Seinosuke floating on the surface of the well.
Xiaolan was so scared that she took a few steps back. Just as she was about to say something, Maori Kogoro shouted from afar: "There's a fire!"
They turned around and saw that the mansion had no windows facing the backyard, but there was a small door half the size of a window at the bottom, and smoke was slowly coming out of it.
Conan went forward and tugged hard, but found that it did not budge, so he slammed the small door hard, shouting, "Uncle, uncle, here, here."
After a moment, Kogoro Mouri opened the door from the inside, and Conan crawled in through the door, followed closely by Xiaolan.
Chu Ming was puzzled. Wasn't there a fire inside?
He originally thought that Conan knocked on the small door to make it easier for Kogoro Mouri to escape, but he didn't expect that it was him and Xiaolan who crawled in.
What did he climb in for? Was he worried that the fire wasn't strong enough so he added some fuel to it?
