"That's a good excuse...it sounds like there is someone behind the scenes besides you..."
Hattori Heiji naturally didn't believe much in Koutani Renzo's words.
"No, no, I'm serious..." Kotani Renzo wanted to continue explaining.
Koshizui Nanatsuki spoke at this time: "It doesn't matter what you do. I'm just like you. I was just found by the fake director and came here as a high school student detective representative of the South..."
As she was talking, there was heavy wind and rain outside the window, lightning and thunder, and a strong wind blew into the room from outside the window, blowing her brown hair up.
"Boom!" A bolt of lightning flashed across, and thunder rolled in.
"Wow!" Koshimizu Nanatsuki immediately showed a horrified expression. He closed his eyes tightly and covered his ears with both hands. "I'm most afraid of thunder! Can you close the windows quickly? Please!"
Seeing her reaction, Hattori Heiji, who was closest to the window, closed the window: "Oh, okay..."
Detective Baima comforted her and said: "Don't worry, whether it's a storm or a murder, I will calm it down immediately..."
The straight men Hattori Heiji and Kudo Shinichi looked at Hakuba Tan as if they were looking at aliens, with the corners of their eyes and mouths twitching.
"Anyway, we will start the investigation next. You three suspects will stay in the restaurant on the first floor until the investigation is completed!" Hattori Heiji said to the three people suspected of committing the crime.
However, Detective Bai Ma glanced at him: "I originally hoped that you could stay in that room and wait together..."
Hearing the thorn in his words, Hattori Heiji stared at him: "Huh?"
"Your behavior is too impulsive, or should be said to be almost barbaric..." Detective Hakuba was obviously very dissatisfied with Hattori Heiji's twice almost destructive behavior of breaking into the secret room.
"Look, those glass shards scattered around the body, as well as the muddy shoe prints you left on the table, you made the scene a mess! Besides, you couldn't have been so casually
Did you open the window with your bare hands?"
"Yes, so what? Do you have any dissatisfaction?!" Hattori Heiji's angry growl echoed through the room.
Seeing that his friend had been made angry by the White Horse Detective, Conan sighed.
From the bottom of his heart, he actually fully agreed and supported Hattori Heiji's approach - before confirming that the victim was dead, the detective should put his life as the first priority, even if there was only a slim possibility.
Just thinking of this, a figure suddenly flashed in Conan's mind, and he immediately said loudly: "No, besides the three of them, there is another person who may have committed the crime!"
When he said this, everyone else was stunned for a moment, and then unanimously focused their attention on Baima Tan.
Conan didn't mention that they almost forgot that besides them, Detective White Horse brought an assistant to the island. However, when they just gathered together, the "assistant" said he would go to the island for a walk.
Wandering around, then disappeared...
Thinking about it now, that person has been disappearing until now. If there is anyone who is most likely and has the most time to kill Tokijin Junya, it must be that guy!
"Oh——" Hattori Heiji was choked just now, and now he just wanted to get the place back. He looked at Hakuba Tan teasingly, "Then can you explain why that person is still hanging out so late? ?”
"Hmm..." It can be clearly seen that Hakuba Tan looked very hesitant when faced with Hattori Heiji's question.
But in the doubtful eyes of others, he finally sighed and shook his head with a wry smile: "No, that person is not an assistant at all. To be precise, although I came with him this morning, I even Don’t know who he is.”
"What?!"
This answer was like a thunder, which immediately shocked everyone else present.
"You don't even know him, why did you bring him to this island?" Hattori Heiji looked at Hakuba Tan with a look that looked like a fool.
"It's a long story. When I first decided to come to this island, my dad told me that he had an old friend who wanted to meet the so-called Detective Koshien, so he asked me to bring him with him. I came to this island with him in the name of his assistant..." Baima Tan felt a little tired.
On the other hand, Hattori Heiji nodded slightly when he heard this: "If he is an old friend of the Hakuba Police Director, then he can be trusted...but we still have to find him quickly."
Detective Baima added: "I had a brief exchange with him on the way here. He said that he didn't want to ruin the fairness of this detective showdown, so he would stay alone elsewhere on the island so that I wouldn't have to. Worry."
"But isn't this a contradiction? He was obviously interested in Detective Koshien, but after only meeting him once, he disappeared...and it's so late now, does he want to spend the night on the island?"
Conan immediately figured out what was wrong.
"Okay, okay, let's send these three to the restaurant first, and then come back and start the search again. Do you have any problem with Hakuba?"
Hattori Heiji decided to collect clues first and focus on the secret room murder case at hand.
Although it is very urgent to find the missing "assistant", this is an isolated island, and there is no fear that the other party will disappear from the world.
Baima Tan nodded, indicating that he was fine.
After Conan, Hattori and Hakuba sent the three suspects to the restaurant, they immediately returned to Tokizu Junya's room.
They need to survey the site carefully.
"Anyway, if there is anything wrong... it would be that the body was deliberately placed on the table in this posture, right?"
Hattori Heiji spoke.
"What is the murderer's intention for doing this?" Conan fell into thinking.
Detective Baima got closer to examine Shi Jinrunzai's body: "If it was just for people to discover this secret room murder case from the outside, it would make sense, but..."
However, it is a bit too far-fetched.
"What's the use of that pot of lavender and the tool box? It seems like they are in everyone's room." Conan turned his attention to other places in the room.
"It doesn't look like there's much going on from the outside..." Hattori Heiji said, wanting to open the tool box and take a look.
"Wait, let me do it." Hakuba Tan had already put on his gloves and stopped Hattori Heiji's movements.
He opened the tool box: "iron wire, nails, vise and screwdriver... drill, ruler, wire cutters and woodworking adhesive, plus saw and utility knife..."
