Chapter 166 This is not Jiang Xias fault! Please vote for me (??)
Conan lifted up the hem of his clothes, peeked inside secretly, and saw familiar signs of beatings.
Conan: "..."
He was stunned for a moment, then he quickly covered the clothes he had lifted up, and carefully tucked them into his waistband, instinctively protecting Jiang Xia, who was "brave in justice".
Then Conan stood up and looked back at Jiang Xia, who was "sleeping soundly" beside him.
Not far from Jiang Xia's hand, he saw a rolling pin falling quietly, and there seemed to be some faint cracks on it.
"..." Conan thought for a moment and understood with complicated emotions.
No wonder this time, Jiang Xia's reaction when "hanging up" was different from the last time in "Sherlock Holmes Journey": last time Jiang Xia just sat and distracted, but this time he fell asleep directly.
Now it seems that this is not a "stress disorder after being in love with the scene" at all, but a sleeping pill mixed into the coffee.
Iljitaka might have wanted to take the opportunity to use the nearby pool to drown Jiang Xia. However, the cold water briefly woke Jiang Xia up, and instead gave him a good beating...
Conan: "..." Speaking of which, in the previous murder case, Jiang Xia seemed to have beaten the bandaged murderer who broke into their room while sleepwalking... Fortunately, Jiang Xia was so alert in his dreams, otherwise this time
, maybe I really need to let Iljitaka succeed.
…
Ichijitaka was hit hard by two groups one after another, and was so completely knocked out that he couldn't wake up for a while.
After a while, Jiang Xia woke up slowly - the wet clothes on his body were too cold, and he couldn't sleep well, so he wanted to change into something new.
Soon, other people came back from the woods one after another.
Then they were told that their old friend Ichiji Takashi had attacked Jiang Xia. The method he used was the same as when he killed Nikaido, except that the scene was no longer a fountain, but a sink in the kitchen.
"How could he kill someone?!"
The digital harem were a little shocked at first. But thinking of the tragedy two years ago, they suddenly fell silent.
After a while of silence, the young talents still felt that there were many mysteries and couldn't help but mutter: "But if the murderer is really Ichitaka, why did he attack Jiang Xia, and where is Miss Lihua?... Did he just open the window and sneak in?
It’s Miss Lihua who’s in the woods, are they accomplices? Is she helping Ichitaka lure us away?”
Jiang Xia wiped her hair and walked out of the next room. Hearing this, he shook his head: "If Mr. Nikaido was the only one who was attacked, then this situation is indeed possible. But I was also attacked like that just now.
Well... I think Ms. Shijing's current situation is probably not too good."
The young talents who were still thinking about becoming a son-in-law were startled and suddenly became alert: "What do you mean? Where is she now?"
Jiang Xia lowered her head and thought for a while, and gradually seemed to have an idea: "When we were searching the villa just now, did you check the bathtub or other places that can store water?"
"I should have checked them all." The others looked at each other for a moment and vaguely understood, "You want to say where Miss Lihua will be hidden?!"
General Rokuda suddenly remembered something, stood up suddenly, and rushed out.
Others were startled: "Where are you going?!"
As Rokuda Shoji ran, he explained: "The bathroom on the west side of the first floor was inspected by Ichijia Takashi! The light there 'happened' to be broken, so I didn't see the situation inside. At that time, Ichijia Takashi said that there was no one inside,
I didn’t go over to check. But if he is the murderer behind the scenes..."
The others followed him to the bathroom, and at the same time they were a little confused: "But, why is Miss Lihua hiding in the bathtub?"
Conan heard someone ask a question and couldn't help but answer: "After experiencing the first two attacks, if a third drowned person suddenly appeared next to the pool, what do you think would be the cause of her death?"
Brother Mawei copied the question: "...Drown?"
Conan nodded: "To be precise, he was drowned by his head pressed into the water - just like Nikaido and Jiangxia brother before. And according to the inertia of thinking, if we see Miss Lihua die in the future,
When you were at the waterside, you would immediately think that she was drowned by the murderer on the spot, rather than delayed by the rising water, so that Ikjitaka could easily obtain an alibi."
After answering the crowd's questions, Conan breathed a sigh of relief: It's really convenient to have Jiang Xia by his side. When he doesn't act like a child, just say "Brother Jiang Xia said that" and everything will be settled...
…
While talking, a group of people walked through the corridor and came to the bathroom.
They pulled open the shower curtain, looked down at the bathtub, and were shocked: "Miss Lihua!"
——Reika Yosui was sitting in the bathtub, fixed to the wall of the tank by dense tape, like a heavy cocoon. The water had just reached her chest, and her mouth and nose had not yet been submerged.
The young talents swarmed over her like they were vying for a bride, intending to "hero save the beauty" and fish Reika Yotsui out of the bathtub.
But soon, they were stunned again.
Gojo Osamu said in horror: "She's not breathing!"
…
Reika Yosui in the bathtub has been dead for some time.
Ichiji Takashi was afraid that when she woke up, she would scream and alert the keen detectives, so when he blocked her mouth and nose, he blocked her mouth and nose very tightly. Yotsui Reika's body was also tightly restrained, and her breathing was blocked. In the end, the water returned
Before it even reached her face, she had already suffocated to death.
The young talents carried Reika Yotsui to the restaurant and tried desperately to provide first aid.
Although Conan felt that the person was hopeless, it was difficult to tell the matter directly. So he stood aside and helped the young talents correct their first aid actions - although it was not needed this time, in case these people met again one day
We are in a similar situation. There are so many endangered people, and there will always be a need for them.
