Tanaka Kikue was also startled, but she quickly realized that her plan had to go on. She pushed open the window and said, "Who is it?"
Kidd quickly ran over and tried to pull her back: "Ms. Tanaka, it's very dangerous, come back quickly--"
"Dang--ah!"
There was another sound of glass breaking, accompanied by Yuanzi's high-decibel scream.
Xiaolan was startled and ran downstairs quickly: "Yuanzi, what's wrong Yuanzi?"
Suzuki Sonoko pointed at the crossbow arrow on the glass and said, "Someone is shooting arrows from outside. How scary..."
Tanaka Kikue looked so angry that she ran out shouting, "Who on earth is it? You are hiding your head and showing your tail! Come out if you have the guts!"
After attracting everyone to the woods outside the house, she took the opportunity to pull out the crossbow arrow stuck in the tree.
Kidd pounded the ground angrily. He had no clue who this damn murderer was.
Conan cast a suspicious look over there. This person is so strange...
Back at the villa, Conan began to ask everyone for their alibis, taking advantage of their age.
"Most of them can prove each other, except for Mr. Ara Yoshinori who went to the wine cellar alone to get wine and Ms. Tanaka who went to boil water. Of course, there is also..." Kuroda Naoko looked at Chu Ming, "The time we were alone was only seven or eight minutes at most, and this gentleman was out for half an hour before returning."
"Ah? Me?" It was the first time that Chu Ming was treated as a suspect, and he was quite confused.
Chapter 104 Minors are not allowed to drink
"This is impossible. Brother Chu Ming and he don't know each other. He has never seen him before coming here today. Why would he kill him?" Conan ruled out Chu Ming as a suspect without even thinking about it.
Seeing this, Kidd thought of Chu Ming throwing dirty water on him just now, and then secretly added insult to injury: "That's not necessarily true. Some people just like to kill people indiscriminately, regardless of whether they know them or not."
"?" Conan stared at Kidd with a suspicious look. Why did this fat guy keep biting Chu Ming? Could it be?
"Ms. Kuroda just said that after she and you put away the dishes, she went to help in the kitchen. Then, didn't Uncle Doita have an alibi for after that? Does that mean you are a suspect too?" Conan tilted his head, pretending to be innocent.
"I have no motive, why should I kill him?"
"That's not necessarily true. Some people just like to kill people indiscriminately, regardless of whether there is a motive or not."
Conan repeated what Kidd had just said to him.
Kidd was choked. Whose child is so unlovable?
After confronting Kidd, Conan walked back to Chu Ming with a heroic and confident look, gave him a proud look, and motioned him to squat down and talk.
Chu Ming smiled and squatted down as he wished: "What do you need me to do?"
"Brother Chu Ming, please accompany me to look around the villa. I will definitely not be at ease if I go to Xiaolan alone."
Chu Ming nodded, said hello to Xiaolan, and went out carrying Conan.
The two of them walked around, Conan looked here and there, and finally came to the two windows.
"This window doesn't look like it was shot through by an arrow or a crossbow..." Chu Ming stood next to the big hole beside the window and studied it carefully.
"Why?" Conan came over. He didn't learn much about weapons in Hawaii.
"The front of the crossbow is sharp. When it hits the glass during the high-speed shooting, the force is applied at a point-like point. The glass will crack in a spider web shape, and there won't be such a big hole. Such a big hole looks more like it was made directly by a stone or some heavy object."
"Brother Chu Ming means..."
Chu Ming nodded: "What I mean is that this is very likely directed and acted by Miss Tanaka herself. Although I don't know what method she used, this glass is definitely not something that can be shot out by a crossbow."
Conan nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly he saw a faint flash of light in the snow.
He squatted down and was a stapler.
Looking up along the wall, sure enough, there were two small holes left by a stapler on the wall at the junction of the first and second floors.
"I understand!"
"you understood?"
"I don't understand everything..."
"..."
"..."
Chu Ming and Conan stared at each other in the snow. Chu Ming picked Conan up and asked, "Are you giving me a secret signal?"
Conan scratched his head embarrassedly: "I understand everything else, but I still don't understand the method she used to dispose of the body."
Chu Ming made a gesture of throwing something: "Just throw it out?"
"How is it possible... The body was at least ten meters away from the balcony. How could someone have such great strength? It doesn't make sense at all."
Science? There is no science in the world of science!
Chu Ming pointed at Conan's feet and said, "You can do it with those shoes."
And Sonoko's future husband can do it without any external help.
"That's right... No, Brother Chu Ming, you almost led me into a dead end. The murderer now is Miss Tanaka, right? How could she have that much strength!"
Conan was almost led astray by Chu Ming.
"Then let's go back first and keep an eye on Miss Tanaka. Maybe we'll get some clues later."
Someone will accidentally give you inspiration later.
Back in the hall, everyone sat around the table, at a loss as to what to do.
Araki took out two bottles of wine to treat everyone to relax. Conan suddenly leaned over and took a closer look at the sailboat pattern on the bottle, with a look of sudden realization.
He stood up suddenly and saw that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, so he quickly touched his head.
"Ha, ha, ha, you adults are drinking, I'm just a child. Do you have a stapler, scissors, and ropes here? I'll do my labor and technical homework. Brother Chu Ming, can you help me~"
Chu Ming stared at the wine that Huang Yize took out with some greed. He hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time, so he had to take this opportunity to drink more.
He waved his hand: "Do your own homework, kids, don't be lazy when doing your homework."
"?" Conan looked at Chu Ming speechlessly, his eyes rolled around, and he leaned over and shouted very loudly, fearing that others couldn't hear him.
"Brother Chu Ming, you are not yet an adult, you can't drink."
Huang Yize was surprised: "Huh? You're not an adult yet, aren't you in college?" As he spoke, he took the wine in front of Chu Ming.
Chu Ming was about to reach out to ask her to stay, but his hand touched a cup of coffee that Xiao Lan handed over from the side: "Here, Brother Chu Ming, you can drink this too."
??? Who wants coffee? I want wine!
Chapter 105 Kidd
Not only did he not get to drink the wine, he also needed Conan to help him.
Chu Ming stared at Conan's back with resentment. If your name could not appear on the dark web, you would be a cannon fodder now.
Conan shuddered suddenly, rubbed his arms, looked around, and met Chu Ming's resentful eyes.
"Hehe, Brother Chu Ming, I wasn't wrong. You are indeed underage."
"I think I should have a good talk with Xiaolan, what do you think?"
Conan jumped and hugged Chu Ming's legs: "I don't think it's possible... Wait, brother Chu Ming! Don't be impulsive!"
Conan suddenly acted cute: "Brother Chu Ming~ It's so dangerous here. It's so scary for me to go back to my room to do my homework alone~ Just accompany me~"
Chu Ming got goose bumps all over his body when he heard Conan's pinched voice.
"Alright, alright, that's enough, do you understand this method of disposing of corpses?"
Speaking of this, Conan immediately became energetic. He slid along Chu Ming's legs and sat on the ground, and started drawing circles on the ground with his hands.
"…That's right, so we'll just put on a scene and lure the guy out of the house and catch him in the act."
…………
After Conan rushed out with everyone, he had a bulging belly and a serious look on his face.
"Brother Chu Ming has already told me the truth of the matter. He said he would stay upstairs to demonstrate the murderer's methods, so I will relay the rest."
After Conan finished describing the technique, he waved to Chu Ming on the third-floor balcony.
"Brother Chu Ming, it's ok."
Chu Ming was aiming the crossbow at the tree trunk and was about to shoot when Kidd suddenly appeared and was about to say something.
Chu Ming noticed someone behind him and kicked him from behind. If Kidd hadn't reacted quickly, his head would have been smashed into the wall.
Chu Ming retracted his legs, and Kidd swallowed his saliva: "I just want to say that I am quite good at archery. How about I do it?"
Chu Ming casually shot the arrow, hitting the center of the tree: "No need, I'm pretty good at it too."
What a joke! He is a sniper, how can he be worse than Kidd in archery?
Doi Takeshu obediently took two steps back and let Chu Ming perform.
With Conan's explanation and Chu Ming's demonstration, the entire crime process was clearly presented.
Kikue Tanaka also honestly pleaded guilty and accepted the punishment.
Kidd realized that everything had been resolved, took a step back and was about to slip away.
"Kaitou Kidd."
Kidd wiped his face casually, and with a flash of his cloak, he completed the transformation in an instant.
"Have you discovered me a long time ago?"
Chu Ming nodded slightly: "I pay more attention to people's faces. Although you have changed your appearance, the expression on your face is dead, not so vivid. And your footprints, your disguised body looks at least 200 pounds, but the footprints in the snow are almost as deep as mine. At that time, I knew that this must not be your true face."
Conan also went upstairs at this time. Yuanzi downstairs screamed wildly and jumped and waved at the people upstairs.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, Mr. Kidd!! Look at me! Look at me! I'm your fan!!"
Xiaolan, who was standing by, tried to stop this embarrassing best friend, but it was of little use.
"And the rearrangement of Doi Takeki's hiragana is Kaito Kid." Conan pushed open the door and stood at the door.
“Pa pa pa,” Kidd clapped his hands. “Even the kids around you are so smart.”
Kidd stood up straight and smiled pretentiously: "Well, I have a feeling that we will meet again next time."
