Chapter Forty - The First Dead
"Ah!!!" Miyuki's scream shocked everyone's minds, and Kenya ran directly to the front door.
"What's going on?" When Kenya carried Hirata Urano in a coma, everyone was shocked.
"Teacher, he seems to have a fever," Kenya put the teacher on an empty seat (Dr. Agasa did not dare to sit) and touched Hirata's forehead. "Did you get caught in the rain?"
"How is that possible?" Dr. Ali asked in surprise. "Hirata, does he have an umbrella?"
"But there is no umbrella beside the teacher?" Kenya was also extremely surprised when he heard this. "What's going on? Could it be that Tatsuya borrowed the umbrella?"
"..." Conan fell into thought.
"So, another important question now is, where is Brother Tatsuya?" Qianyu's words surprised everyone even more.
"Yes," Miyuki's expression immediately became anxious. "Where's Tatsuya?"
"..." Qianyu has already taken the traceless umbrella. "I'll go take a look."
"How can you go as a child?" Miyuki said anxiously.
"I'll go," Kenya picked up the umbrella hanging nearby. "Guangwei, if I don't come back, call the police immediately."
"Is it okay for you to go out alone?" Mitsue is a fat boy. He is the only male student in Hirata besides Tatsuya and Kenya. "Shall I go with you?"
"Stop making trouble," Kenya refused immediately. "What will happen to the safety here if you go out too!"
"..." The whole place fell silent, and only the sound of thunderstorm let everyone know that they were not deaf yet.
But that's not the point, because Kenya's meaning is already obvious.
The chance of Tatsuya disappearing and Hirata fainting is extremely low. It is very possible that an uninvited guest (probably Tatsuya) is wandering outside the villa, preparing to attack everyone here.
"Excuse me," Qianyu asked suddenly. "Do you have compressed biscuits and mineral water here?"
"?" Kenya stopped holding the umbrella. "Do you need it?"
"I'm sorry," Qianyu nodded. "For safety reasons."
Everyone looked at Miyuki.
"Give it to them," Miyuki nodded. "They are just a group of innocent children, so they need better safety. Children, do you need us to live with you?"
"This..." Dr. Ali was thinking about how to deal with it, but Conan shook his head, so Dr. Ali replied. "Ah, there is no need for it, but please leave us some self-defense equipment."
Feeling the solemn atmosphere, Gentai Ayumi and Mitsuhiko did not have any objections, but obediently followed Dr. Agasa back to their house.
"Our house has a full set of living facilities," Qianyu warned while tinkering with her traceless umbrella after Mitsui and Ken who had brought in compressed biscuits and mineral water left. "So don't leave the house.
, Do you understand? Don’t go out at any time, okay? If you want to go out, you must go out accompanied by Conan and I."
"Why does it have to be you and Conan-kun?" Ayumi asked doubtfully. "Can't Dr. Agasa do it?"
"Doctor..." Qianyu retracted the unfolded umbrella. "It's not that I'm too upright, but the doctor does not have strong enough combat power. He is good at guarding, but not enough for going out."
"Hehehehe..." Dr. Ali smiled awkwardly.
"Conan," Qianyu ignored Dr. Ali and looked at Conan. "Please."
"Yeah." Conan nodded.
"Qianyu-kun, Conan-kun," Ayumi yawned and asked Qianyu and Conan drowsily. "Aren't you still asleep?"
"You guys go to sleep first," Qianyu said with a smile. "Conan and I are not sleepy yet."
"Then you should go to bed early!" After Ayumi said this, she lay on the bed and stopped making any sound after a while.
Qianyu and Conan looked at each other and smiled bitterly - how could they not be sleepy? But the current situation forced them to be vigilant.
After Kenya returned from the rainy night, he told everyone a bad news - the mountain road was blocked by a landslide, Tatsuya's car was parked next to the blocking point, and Tatsuya was missing.
There are good reasons to believe that Tatsuya is dead. Considering the conditions of Hirata and Tatsuya, it is really difficult to believe that this was not done by others.
For everyone's safety, Qianyu and Conan, who have sufficient combat power, must be on duty together to protect the people during the long night.
"Are all the locks locked?" Conan asked softly.
"The door lock has been turned twice, the anti-theft chain is hung, the door bolt is fastened, and the windows have been bolted. As long as there are not many attackers, we still have a great advantage." Qian Yu looked at the sleeping person next to him.
Dr. A Li. "It's 9 o'clock now. Wake up the doctor at 12 o'clock and you go to sleep; wake you up at 3 o'clock and I'll go to bed... I don't know when we can escape from here. This method of duty is too scary."
.”
"Just bear with it," Conan said helplessly. "Let them shorten their sleep time tomorrow, and we can work less on duty."
"Mazi! Mazi!" The fat light guard's voice appeared in the corridor, his voice was hoarse and disturbing.
"?" Qianyu and Conan looked at the door in surprise, then looked at each other again.
"Hello?" He used the phone to call the extension downstairs. The more Conan listened, the worse his face became. "Okay, I'll be down right away."
"What's wrong?" Qianyu asked when she saw Conan's expression was not good.
"Murder." Conan's expression instantly turned poker-like.
"Murder?" Qian Yu's expression suddenly changed. "What's going on!!!???"
"Doctor!" Conan had already shaken Dr. Ali awake. "Something has happened. You must keep an eye on everyone. Conan and I are going downstairs to see the specific situation!"
...
On the second floor, in the middle of the west side of the corridor, Qianyu and Conan saw everyone gathered outside a room as soon as they arrived.
"What's going on?" Conan was about to squeeze in to see what was going on, but was stopped by a pair of hands - the pale Kenya picked up Conan and moved away from the room.
"Don't look..." Kenya's fear was obvious. "Don't look..."
"Let me pass! Let me pass!" Conan struggled desperately, but could not escape the grip of these hands.
"Oh my God!" Qianyu had already squeezed to the door of the room without knowing when, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Just a dozen centimeters in front of Qian Yu, a headless corpse was facing Qian Yu with the bowl-sized port on its neck. Just a little closer to Qian Yu, half a bone fragment that looked like a neck bone
It was placed quietly on the ground.
Qianyu only felt that her hands were shaking - the way of death was obviously her neck being strangled, and obviously, the murderer was probably also responsible for Tatsuya's disappearance and Hirata's coma (after all, it was impossible to confirm whether he was burned or knocked unconscious)
(especially the possibility that the murderer knocked Hirata unconscious and then took away the umbrella) is responsible for these two things.
