Kuroki Jin couldn't remember whose diary belonged to him. He had never written a diary himself, and he knew that Euchi Taiga and Chiga Airi had no brothers.
Of course, it is also possible that it was written by someone else among them, who was left in the orphanage and brought in by Jiang Chengdahe.
It's just this point that Kuroki Ren isn't quite sure about.
"I'll ask others when we get down the mountain." Kuroki Ren took the diary, "Maybe I can find something."
"What can you find?" Haiyuan Ai asked after what he said.
Kuroki turned his head subconsciously and saw a piece of brown hair, just under the tip of his nose. If he probed forward, he could touch it.
He just sat closer to Haiyuan Ai in order to come over to read the diary.
Kuroki took a careful breath - he would suffocate if he didn't breathe - and pretended to be natural, staying a little further away, then imitating Haihara Ai and sitting cross-legged on the ground.
"I can find out the whereabouts of the other companions, etc." He replied, "Before I came here, I received something that seemed to be sent to me by someone I knew before, so I came here to wait."
"Hmm..." Haiyuan Ai didn't know who he was looking for.
Realizing that he had said too much, Kuroki Ren quickly interrupted with a smile, "It's so late, why don't you sleep?"
Huh? I seem to have said this before?
"Go to bed now." Hui Yuan Ai stood up and patted himself casually, "You should also go to bed early. I always feel that something will happen next..."
"Ugh——!"
"...something happened." Hui Yuan Ai looked indifferent.
Kuroki Ren rubbed his hair and said in annoyance: "These people don't want me to sleep, right?"
Noisy footsteps sounded, and when Kuroki opened the door, the lights outside had already been turned on. He heard the sound of something clanking falling to the ground, and glanced in the direction of the person running.
Kitchen——It probably has something to do with Hinata sleeping there.
This time, Edogawa Conan and Mouri Kogoro arrived at the kitchen at the same time. They stopped at the door and prohibited the rest of the people from entering.
In the kitchen, Hinata Takato fell to the ground, covering his neck with his hands, eyes wide open. There was a broken glass next to him.
"Cyanide." Conan leaned over and smelled it, and made a judgment easily.
"I guess I got up to drink water, but I must have used a poisoned cup." Mouri Kogoro picked up a fragment and looked at some glasses next to the sink.
"The person who just entered the kitchen is..."
Conan and Mori looked at Kuroki Jin who was going downstairs.
Kuroki Ren: "?"
"No, this is my biggest suspicion?"
Kuroki Jin sat on the sofa speechlessly, listening to Conan's analysis, and automatically blocked out Marui Yumi's Japanese.
"There is no way, Mr. Kuroki is the owner of this place, and he has only used these cups to brew coffee for everyone before..."
Conan's expression was rather ugly, "Although there was Xiaolan...sister who helped wash the cups at that time, but..."
The implication of his words is obvious. Compared to Mao Lilan, Kuroki Jin does seem to be more suspicious.
Kuroki hit the table irritably and pointed at the person chattering next to him, "Marui Isamu, can you shut up first!"
The annoying BGM was paused, and then Kuroki Jin spread his hands and said: "I have no reason to kill Hinata."
He pointed around, "If Ichikawa and I can be said to have had a quarrel, then Hinata and I have always been in peace."
"Furthermore, without the presence of the police and the identification department, it cannot be proven that the poison was poured into the cup."
"And rather than discussing me..." Kuroki Jin locked eyes with one person, "Ms. Misu, you look very nervous."
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the mentioned Noriko Misu, who trembled subconsciously when his name was called.
"You look ugly, Miss Noriko." Mouri Kogoro then discovered that Misu Noriko's face was pale and she was covered in cold sweat, as if she was afraid of something.
"Did the deaths of two people in a row remind you of something related?" Kuroki Jin continued to guide.
"Mr. Kuroki, don't talk nonsense." Misu Noriko's good friend, Miss Saitian Emi, stood up and denounced Sansu while pulling her sleeves.
When her hand touched Sansu Noriko, the latter jumped three meters away as if he had been bitten by a snake, screaming: "Don't come here!"
Caita Emi suddenly stopped where she was, with a puzzled look on her face.
Noriko Misu didn't dare to look into her eyes, nor did she dare to look at other people's faces. She looked helplessly at the only detective present, Kogoro Mouri.
"Detective Maori, I have something to tell you alone."
Everyone had different expressions. Conan blinked and was the first to react. He stumbled onto Kogoro Mori and put the bug in his pocket before being picked up by him.
Kuroki Ren immediately understood, "Then during this period, everyone should stay in their respective rooms and don't come out." After that, he emphasized, "Especially those who have ghosts in their hearts."
"Whoever has a ghost in their heart, please stay here and be weird..."
Conan rejected Mao Lilan's extended hand, "Sister Xiaolan, brother Ren and I went to the study room. I haven't read the book just now."
"I'll read it first." Hui Yuan Ai walked past him and said softly.
Mao Lilan:?
What book is so beautiful?
Using a room that was temporarily unoccupied (formerly Haibara Ai and Ayumi's room, but now Ayumi and the other two children sleep on the same bed) as a temporary isolation space, Mouri Kogoro and Mitsu Noriko went in.
.
Conan strode towards the study in a hurry, and Kuroki Ren's pace was also much faster.
The three of them came to the study room. Haibara Ai, who was walking at the end, closed the door and heard the voice coming from Edogawa Conan's glasses:
"...Detective Maori, I need you to ensure my safety first."
Noriko Misu was so scared that her voice became tight, but she still insisted on it.
"Before the police come, I can never leave your side." Mouri Kogoro said.
"Then I'll tell you..."
The incident happened two years ago, when she was just a freshman. As soon as she entered the school, she was targeted by her sophomore son.
"You mean Ichikawa?" Mori interjected and asked.
Sansu Noriko shook her head and said a name that no one had expected:
"It's Mr. Hinata."
Ichikawa Kazuhiro and Hinata Takato are good friends. One of them has a rich family, and the other has a powerful family. They started playing together after they met in college.
They would use money to trick some young girls into sleeping with them, and they would also use power to threaten them not to tell the truth afterwards. From the simple gameplay at the beginning to more and more complex tricks, they practiced them one by one.
"Their current plaything is Huimei, and the one before Huimei... was me."
