Conan: The Master Behind the Scenes

Time passed by.

This sudden storm showed no sign of stopping.

While Bai Shiwu was thinking, the door of the next room was opened carefully.

Then, Xiao Ai's cute little face quietly peeked out.

Although Bai Shiwu noticed Xiao Ai's movements, he ignored her and pretended to be thinking seriously and didn't notice her.

"Wu, Wu……"Xiao Ai called softly.

Bai Shiwu frowned and thought.

"Wu……"Xiao Ai raised her voice a little,

Bai Shiwu still frowned, thinking seriously.

"……"Xiao Ai was stunned for two seconds.

Her cute little face was slightly stiff, and she came out from behind the door wrapped in a pink bathrobe, walked to Bai Shiwu's ear, and shouted loudly:"Wu!!!"

""Ah - what's wrong?"

Shiraishi Takeshi couldn't act anymore.

He raised his head and met Ai's shy and evasive ice-blue eyes.

Her short brown hair was half-covered on her cute little head because it was stained with water. Her wide-open eyes were flashing, and her natural, pink little face without a trace of makeup gradually turned red because of Shiraishi Takeshi's direct gaze. Her white teeth bit on her intoxicating cherry-like red lips.

A pink bathrobe was wrapped around Ai's cute body, revealing two collarbones as white as sheep fat.

Everything was so perfect.

She was a real little Lolita who fascinated everyone.

"No, don't look at me like that!"

Xiao Ai's face became more and more red, and she stretched out a small white hand, trying to block Bai Shiwu's eyes.

""What's wrong? What happened, Xiao Ai?" Bai Shiwu gently held Xiao Ai in his arms and asked intimately.

At that moment, Bai Shiwu could feel that the small and exquisite body under the bathrobe suddenly trembled slightly, tensed, and stiffened.

"Yes, yes, when I was taking a shower, the ceiling of the bathroom suddenly leaked, so I want to ask you for help!" Xiao Ai said in a low voice.

""Where's Mingmei?" Shiraishi Takeshi gently pinched Xiao Ai's cute face.

"Sister, it seems that my sister didn't sleep well last night. Now, she is sleeping soundly in the room. I don't want to wake her up, so I want to ask you for help.……"

After hearing Xiao Ai's explanation, Shiraishi Takeshi felt warm in his heart. He was really touched by the mutual care between Xiao Ai and Miyano Akemi. He gently touched Xiao Ai's tender pink face, then Shiraishi Takeshi let go of the nervous Xiao Ai and put her on the sofa.

"Don't worry, even if I want to eat you, I will wait until you grow up! You wait here, I'll help you check the ceiling of the bathroom!"

Bai Shiwu said softly, turning his head and walking towards the bathroom of Xiao Ai's suite.

But Xiao Ai was like a little pink tail, biting her lower lip, her ice-blue eyes flashing with gratitude and joy, and she followed Bai Shiwu closely. When the two came to the bathroom, the first thing that caught Bai Shiwu's eyes was Xiao Ai's small underwear.

"Ah!"

Xiao Ai blushed and rushed over in a hurry, picked up the unspeakable things that had been changed, and then ran out of the bathroom.

After a while, Xiao Ai lowered her head slightly, her little face red, and walked to Bai Shiwu's side.

""Wait!"

Bai Shiwu frowned, his eyes flickered, and he reached out to touch Xiao Ai's head.

Xiao Ai looked up with a puzzled look on her face, but found that Bai Shiwu was looking solemnly at the palm of the hand that had touched her hair.

""What, what happened?" Xiao Ai was full of curiosity and stood on tiptoe to look.

The next moment, her ice-blue eyes shrank, her little face was full of panic, and she said tremblingly:"This, this is... blood! ?"

"The ceiling is dripping blood! ?"

Shiraishi Takeshi said seriously,"On the second floor, it seems to be the room of Ogata Natsuyo, the leader of this high school opera troupe!"

Then, under Shiraishi Takeshi's notice, everyone came to Ogata Natsuyo's room on the second floor.

Room, bathroom, bathtub.

Ogata Natsuyo, who had died a long time ago, was lying in the bathtub that had turned into a pool of blood. Her gray-brown hair was scattered, floating in it like seaweed.

"Ogata……"Kaneda Daisuke's eyes widened with horror.

"How could this happen? Nanase Miyuki was filled with panic and self-blame.

"It's too cruel. The cause of death was shock caused by a blunt object hitting the back of the head!"After examining the body, Bai Shiwu spoke heavily.

"Water!!!"

Nanase Miyuki muttered to herself again with a look of horror on her face:"The third victim in The Phantom of the Opera was dragged into the water and drowned!"

"What a coincidence, isn't it?"Kaneda Daisuke trembled with fear and said in a low voice.

"This time, it is not like that, Miss Nanase Miyuki."

Shiraishi Takeshi said again:"These murders are different from the previous two!"

"no the same!?"

"What exactly is different?"

"Mr. Shiraishi……"

Everyone was puzzled, but Shiraishi Takeshi said confidently,"Ogata Natsuyo was shot in the head and died on the spot, not drowned! If the murders could be carried out according to the script like the previous murders, then the murderer should have killed the victim while he was bathing, instead of beating him to death first."

"Yes, that's right! But the other party is a murderer with a sick mind!" Daisuke Kaneda said in a low voice.

"No! The murderer is not an abnormal person. From the previous two incidents, it can be fully concluded that the murderer is a smart and calm person."

"This is——"

Bai Shiwu suddenly noticed the nail plate that had fallen off the middle finger of the deceased's left hand, and smiled thoughtfully.

"What's wrong, Mr. Shiraishi! Did you find any important clues?"Kaneda Daisuke asked nervously.

"Look, the middle finger of the deceased's left hand!" Bai Shiwu said playfully.

"Fingernails falling off?"

"The nail on my left middle finger has fallen off!"

"This is not a nail! That thing is called a nail plate. In order to replace the long nails, the finished plastic nail plate is attached to the nail like a sticker!"Bai Shiwu said meaningfully

"So what? What does it mean?"Kaneda Daisuke was confused.

"Are you stupid? Would anyone wear nail plates when taking a bath? This bathroom is just a self-justification."

Bai Shiwu paused and said in a hoarse and low voice:"Obviously, this bathroom is not the real crime scene! The deceased was moved here after being hit on the head with a blunt object!"

"W-What!?"

"This, you mean, this is not the first crime scene! ?"

(Three more!)
