Chapter 45 Unknown clues

Hattori Heiji remembered that in the last case, this kid bumped heads with him when he was looking for evidence in this way.

Combined with Conan's various mature performances, he increasingly has a sense of déjà vu.

[Impossible...]

A possibility arose in his mind, but was quickly rejected by him.

[How could something like that happen? It’s not like I’m drawing comics...]

"By the way, the store owner took all the phones away!" The physical education teacher suddenly remembered this.

"Ah! That must be in his room!" said the waitress.

Everyone walked towards the house, only the astrologer Maria Toda stood there, looking up at the sky.

"The stars are extremely chaotic..." She sighed, "It seems that the matter is not over yet."

Suddenly, her eyes widened.

I saw a bright meteor streaking across the sky in the night sky.

"What's going on...the stars have changed!" she exclaimed.

She thought about it for a long time, and finally stopped thinking about the changes in the stars.

Inside the hotel.

"This...this..."

"The phones are broken!"

"Who is it...?"

"The first edition is also missing!" The waitress rummaged around in the messy room, but she could never find the "A Study in Scarlet" that the hotel owner regarded as a treasure.

"Damn it! I can't take it anymore! I'm going to drive another car and get out of here!"

The station attendant looked at the destroyed mobile phones and telephones all over the floor with an expression of shock and anger.

"It's useless." Hattori Heiji's voice came from the door, "The car in the garage has all the oil in the gas tank leaked, and the battery has no power. That car can't be used at all!"

His face was solemn: "Judging from the destruction of mobile phones and vehicles, the murderer seems to want to continue this crazy killing operation!"

Everyone was shocked, and the eyes they looked at others became full of suspicion and distrust.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro showed his majesty as a detective and began to ask everyone for investigation clues.

The conclusion was that no one had said they had seen the shop owner since they dispersed last night.

Not even the waitress. According to her, her husband has been on a diet recently and has been shutting himself in his room and eating healthy food.

"Damn it...the whereabouts have been unknown all day long. I don't even know when the person was killed. The body also fell off the cliff and was burned..." Mouri Kogoro became worried.

"That's right! There's a camera!" The physical education teacher clapped his hands.

"Sorry, that's fake." The waitress poured cold water on him, "That's a fake electric eye installed every year when this event is held to prevent guests from cheating."

"But we also know that the murderer asked the store owner to sit in the car and started the jeep around 3:30."

Hattori Heiji pointed at himself and several other people: "It's impossible for me, who has been in the restaurant a few hours ago, and those five people to take action."

The five people include Conan, Xiaolan, the waitress, and two college students, Toju Ken and Oki Ayako.

The implication is that other people may be potential murderers.

While several people were arguing that it was not them, Omu Ayako quietly whispered in Hattori Heiji's ear and asked: "Hey! The one you were looking for just now...have you found it?"

"No, I haven't found any." Heiji was stunned for a moment and replied.

"Oh..." She chuckled meaningfully.

Then, she looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Ayako?" Toju Kento turned back to look at his girlfriend.

"But I already know... who the murderer is, the method used, and the conclusive evidence." Ayako Oki lit a cigarette for herself.

One stone stirs up thousands of waves.

"What did you say?!" Everyone looked over in disbelief.

"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it!" She exhaled a breath of smoke, "If you don't want me to say your name, you'd better bow your head and plead guilty first!"

After saying that, she turned around and left.

"Ayako, where are you going?" Tojukento asked in a panic.

"bathroom."

"Go crazy! If you act alone, the murderer will..." He hurriedly followed.

"Oh? Aren't you going to protect me?" Omu Ayako looked indifferent.

Seeing the two of them leaving the room, the station attendant gave Mouri Kogoro a sidelong glance: "Haha, you are a famous detective, and a layman girl solved the case first."

"No, she must have found some clues that we don't know about." Conan looked serious.

【Otherwise, it would be impossible to be faster than me.】

"Well, it's very possible." Heiji's brain waves are exactly the same as Kudo Shinichi's.

After saying that, he glanced at Conan, who behaved like an adult, and the confusion in his eyes became even more intense.

"Ah! I thought of it! Miss Ayako is a little strange during the day!" Xiaolan had a flash of inspiration.

Seeing that both Conan and Heiji were looking at her, she said: "After lunch today, I ran into her when I was going back to the room. As soon as she saw me, she hurriedly hid something like paper behind her."

Xiaolan tried to remember: "I thought it was the Sherlock Holmes test question given last night..."

"Test question?" Everyone was surprised.

They also remembered that Ayako Oki didn't seem to have lunch.

"Could it be while we are eating..." The station attendant's face turned pale.

"Cheating?!" The PE teacher quickly understood what he meant.

"Really, how could such a woman exist!" Mouri Kogoro spat disdainfully.

In the midst of the discussion, the door opened and Toshiken walked in.

Several people immediately gathered around him.

"Hey! Who is the murderer!"

"Did you ask her?"

"Hurry up and tell us!"

Toshikento was sweating coldly, waving his hands with a helpless look: "Ah... I asked her, but she refused to tell me whether she was alive or not, and finally hid in the bathroom..."

"It's really appetizing..." the station attendant said bitterly.

"Waitress?" Hattori Heiji looked at Hitomi Iwai who was standing aside, "Who else didn't have lunch yesterday besides Miss Ayako?"

Iwai recalled for a moment and said: "Mr. Toju Kento, and Miss Shimizu Nanako."

She also added that Tojuken and Oki Ayako's rooms were far apart because they were afraid that they would discuss the topic.

"Did Sister Ayako come to your room at noon?"

Hearing the childish voice, Hattori Heiji turned around and saw the elementary school student named Edogawa Conan asking Tojuken.

"No, I have been writing test papers in my room during the day, and no one has come." Toju Kento glanced at Conan and said calmly.

【It’s this kid again!】

Hattori Heiji stared at the elementary school student and found that his thinking during the investigation of the case was completely similar to that of himself, a famous detective in Kansai!

At this time, Mouri Kogoro suddenly shouted loudly:

"By the way! Are we missing one person here?"
