Under the questioning of Mouri Kogoro, several people began to explain in turn what they had done after going to bed tonight.
Caita Emi still looked overly frightened and stumbled when speaking: "I...after everyone entered the room at night, I went to Ichikawa's room. They all know this. Ichikawa and I...um..." "Are you two a couple?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
"It doesn't even look like it." Dr. Ali muttered to himself in a low voice.
"That's right..." Caita Emi didn't want to describe the relationship between the two too much, "We talked for a while and then fell asleep."
"It wasn't until midnight that I heard someone gasping next to me. I thought it was Ichikawa who had woken up and wanted to talk to me again, so I turned around. At this time, lightning happened to strike, and I saw Ichikawa's face covered in blood.
..."
Caitian's teeth chattered, "I screamed, jumped out of bed, and then this kid came."
Conan confirmed her statement, "When I entered the room, Sister Huimei was indeed squatting in the corner in fear."
Next, Noriko Misu said: "As for me, I fell asleep after Emi left, and then I was woken up by screams, and then there were footsteps and voices, so I didn't fall asleep. I was just about to go out.
When I took a look, this Miss Lan came to call me."
Marui said impatiently: "Hinata, Kitani, and I all live downstairs. When the incident happened, we thought it was the same as usual and didn't pay much attention. Then Kuroki turned on the light and let us go up." p>
"Same as usual?" Conan, Mouri Kogoro and Kuroki Jin asked at the same time.
Caita Emi froze, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across Marui's face. He coughed and did not answer.
"Mr. Marui, right? You probably weren't with them at that time."
Everyone looked at Dr. Ali who was speaking.
Dr. A Li was a little panicked by the sight, but he still said: "I am an old man. When I got up in the middle of the night and just wanted to go out, I saw a dark figure standing up furtively in the living room, so I didn't dare to go out." Noriko Misu is farther away from Marui.
"I went to the toilet, old man!" Marui was impatient and raised his voice a few degrees, "I was careful not to wake up Hinata and Kitani who were still sleeping. Later I heard the screams and came out of the toilet. They
You should have seen it."
Hinata nodded, "Yes, there was a scream, Mr. Mori rushed up the stairs, and Mugu and I were also woken up. Mugu had a slight heart disease and couldn't stand being frightened. When I saw that he was sweating, I wanted to find medicine for him.
, after he said it was okay, the two of us saw Marui coming out of the toilet, and then Kuroki turned on the light."
"But at that time, Mr. Mori didn't seem to get up next to me, right?"
Hinata recalled that their sleeping position in the living room was Kiya, with Mori on both sides, Hinata next to Kiya, and then Marui. Because Marui and Kiya didn't have a good relationship, Hinata separated them in the middle.
"Speaking of which, I also remembered," Hinata's words reminded Marui, "Mr. Mori was indeed not sleeping next to me when I got up."
Seeing everyone looking at him in confusion, Mouri Kogoro scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I always roll out of the quilt and hit the floor when sleeping on the floor, so I wanted to sleep on the sofa next to me."<
/p>
"And I was able to scare Mu Gu probably because I passed by the bedding in the middle."
This is true. Conan didn't know when he slipped to the sofa, pointed to the sofa with a slightly crooked cushion and said: "Someone must have been lying here. I remember that Sister Lan tidied the sofa when everyone was preparing to go back to the room.
."
Mao Lilan nodded.
In other words, except for Kitani and Hinata who had been sleeping in the living room, no one in the remaining three members of the mountaineering team could prove their whereabouts at that time.
Even if Marui finally came out of the toilet, there is no guarantee that he had been anywhere else during this period. After all, the lights were not turned on in the living room, and Dr. Agasa, who had gotten up late at night, could only see a blurry figure in the distance.
You can't even tell that the person is Marui.
Not to mention Noriko Misu who was alone in the room and Emi Saita who was in the same room as the victim.
"Furthermore, even Hinata and Kitani, you two cannot completely rule out suspicion." Kuroki Jin looked at the two of them, "After all, according to what you said, they all fell asleep not long after turning off the lights, so someone got up in the middle.
, like Marui, I’m afraid they won’t be discovered.”
"Hey, what do you mean?!"
Marui's temper wasn't very good either. After hearing this, he slapped the table and stood up, pointing his finger at Kuroki Jin.
"Marui, don't get excited." Hinata pulled him, trying to get him to sit down.
Marui staggered as he was pulled, and sat down angrily, saying, "I think it was him, because Ichikawa had a dispute with him, and he learned from Detective Mori that someone was planning to kill someone, so he took advantage of it to take action first." Kuroki Ren had a headache from his quarrel. Through previous exchanges, he learned that they were both college students, about twenty-one or twelve years old, and a year or two older than Kuroki Ren.
But in terms of behavior, Kuroki Jin is more like the older and more mature one.
For some reason, Marui always feels a little targeted towards Kuroki Jin.
"Now let's sort out the motive for committing the crime," Mouri Kogoro said at the right time to prevent them from having any more meaningless arguments, "Does any of you have any grudge against Ichikawa?"
As soon as he asked the question, he saw the five people opposite him looking a little unnatural.
……
At two o'clock in the morning, the rain became slightly lighter.
The children, who were in high spirits just now and wanted to solve the case and catch the murderer, could no longer resist the sleepiness and continued to sit there and doze off. Finally, Dr. Ali persuaded them to go back to the room to sleep.
But Edogawa Conan was still exploring something in the room on the second floor like a husky.
"Blackwood,"
Just when Kuroki Ren was sitting on the sofa in a daze, a clear voice called his name.
Kuroki Ren came back to his senses and looked around, and saw Haibara standing not far from him with no sadness or joy.
"What's wrong? Xiao Ai... um..." As soon as Kuroki Ren called her name, he realized that things were different now.
"Is there any coffee? I'm sleepy."
Haiyuan Ai seemed not to notice anything unusual about him, and yawned tiredly and asked.
"Go to sleep when you're sleepy." Kuroki Jin smiled gently, "You're not Kudo. If you're not interested in solving crimes, don't force yourself."
Haiyuan Ai looked at him indifferently, then simply took two steps forward and sat on the sofa, keeping a distance from Kuroki Ren.
"I can't sleep very well."
I don’t know who the person who just said sleepy was.
