After a while, they huffed and rushed to the terrace and looked down.
I happened to see "Hideomi Nagato" with his face covered with bandages, holding a blood-stained kitchen knife in his mouth, sticking his head out from downstairs, and turning his head to look up.
Amidst the gasps, Jiang Xia also took a breath, and then silently stared at the fake downstairs.
Nagato Hideomi died yesterday.
Currently, only two people in Nagato's family know this - the female secretary Hinata Yuki and the son-in-law Nakajima Mitsuo.
Hinata Yuki was the one who discovered the body.
The Nakajima Illuminati knew about this because Hinata Sachi informed him.
——This ambitious son-in-law who came to the house accepted Hyuga Sachi's "suggestion" and planned to stage a scene like this to lure others downstairs. Then he would sneak up the stairs along the balcony, break through the empty door and kill them.
The bedridden chairman wants to inherit the Nagato Group as soon as possible.
Hinata Yuki planned to push Nakajima Miguel down when he climbed onto the balcony, causing him to fall to death and kill his arson enemy.
That’s why today’s episode came about.
At this time, everyone in the bedroom heard the shrill screams and saw "Nagato Hideomi" downstairs holding a kitchen knife. They thought something really happened downstairs and ran out of the door quickly.
Hattori Heiji and Mouri Ran are no exception.
Jiang Xia saw this and immediately chased after him.
Then, when the two classmates had just turned the corner and had not reached the stairs, they grabbed them back one by one.
The two were startled and turned to look at him doubtfully.
Conan also noticed something strange and stopped.
Jiang Xia looked back at the direction of the bedroom and whispered: "The attacker knew that there was a birthday party for the chairman upstairs and many people gathered in the room, but he still made a special appearance after killing people, and then turned around and left...
The series of actions just now were more like a deliberate 'performance' than 'killing people'."
Hattori Heiji and Conan, who were eager to save people, were startled.
Soon, they thought of the chairman sleeping in the bedroom and smelled a conspiracy: "You mean... someone is deliberately moving us away from the chairman's room?"
Jiang Xia nodded.
After hearing this, Hattori Heiji looked towards the stairs and found that the housekeeper and several security guards had rushed downstairs. If Mitsuyoshi Nakajima was really attacked downstairs, those people would also go to rescue him.
"...Then I'll listen to you first and go back and take a look." Hattori Heiji and Conan spoke at the same time, and Mao Lilan also nodded solemnly.
Jiang Xia turned around first, and the four of them returned to the door of the chairman's bedroom.
Almost at the same time, they heard a "click" coming from the house, which was the sound of an iron hook catching the balcony railing.
Immediately afterwards, the hemp rope hanging from the iron hook tightened and swayed - someone was climbing up along it.
Jiang Xia quickly glanced at the bedroom. At this time, there were only the sleeping chairman and Hinata Yuki who had just walked to the balcony and was secretly preparing to push someone away.
Jiang Xia pretended to be afraid that she would be accidentally injured, and shouted to her with a slightly anxious voice: "Get out of the way! Get away from that iron hook!"
At the same time, he also rushed to the balcony.
The bedroom is large, with a bed in the middle.
When Jiang Xia ran there, of course there was no one down there, only a swaying rope was left.
Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at this scene, punched the railing with their fists, and let out a tut.
But none of them blamed Jiang Xia for alerting the target - no one knew where the climber had just climbed and whether he had a weapon in his hand. If Jiang Xia didn't remind Hinata Yuki, she was standing so close and might have been attacked.
Seeing this, Jiang Xia also knocked on the innocent railing.
I don't feel too regretful.
After all, he actually did it on purpose.
——If the son-in-law who climbed up was caught on the spot, and no one was injured, it would not be difficult for Nagato Miguel to use excuses such as "prank" to get through, and even push the detective away.
And like now, if the "Bandage Man" can escape smoothly and Nagato Miguang's death has not been exposed, Jiang Xia will have a reason to continue to stay and pick up... ahem, investigate.
During this period, it is not difficult to find opportunities to relieve the obsession of the new ghost and abduct the ghost.
…
Because someone tried to attack the chairman with a knife, everyone in the Nagato family called the police, even though the assailant was suspected to be a relative of theirs.
The son-in-law's plan failed. He fled in panic, hid the clothes used for disguise, restored his identity as son-in-law, and returned to the room.
He claimed that the attacker pushed him from behind but did not chop him, so he took the opportunity to escape.
As for the blood on his body, he didn't know where it came from. Maybe the gangster accidentally scratched himself.
The police officers who came to search actually believed it.
However, others were easy to fool, but Conan and Hattori Heiji were not so naive. Why did they feel suspicious about this visiting son-in-law, so they ran over to talk to him.
Nagato Mitsuo was annoyed by the two people's questions and angrily scolded them away.
Afterwards, he anxiously lit a cigarette and thought about what to do next.
