A deliberately low voice came from outside the window: "Beautiful lady, can you take me in for one night?"

Shi Mo Mi opened the curtains and saw Kuroba Kaito outside the window, whose nose tip was red from the cold. Without the gorgeous dress, Kuroba Kaito's clothes were thin and not warm.

Kuroba Kaito wanted to go back to the villa, but Araki locked the door and windows. He didn't know what the design of the windows was, so Kaito couldn't open them from the outside... He wanted to go down the mountain, but because he ran in a hurry, his things were still in the villa, and he couldn't contact the housekeeper.

Now Kuroba Kaito had to ask Shi Mo Mi for help.

Shi Mo Mi went to Kuroba Kaito's room speechlessly and poured him a cup of hot water. Kaito was really cold and took the cup with shaking hands after trying to pry the lock for a long time outside. Shi Mo Mi was afraid that he would get sick later, so he took a pill from his pocket and gave it to him.

Kaito sat in the room for a while until his body regained consciousness, then he left Shi Mo Mi's room and went back to his room to get his things.

When Shi Mo Mi woke up the next day, Kaito had already left without knowing when, and no one was found within the system scanning range.

Finally, the police who were able to go up the mountain took Tanaka away. Maori Kogoro was worried all night at the foot of the mountain. When he saw Xiaolan, he grabbed her and started asking questions, fearing that Xiaolan was injured.

After one night, Conan's illness improved a lot, but he was still not fully recovered. He stood in the open space at the door of the villa, watching the police passing by to search Tanaka Kikue's movements after coming, and kept sniffing.

Shi Mo Mi took out the medicine and handed it to him: "Take another pill."

Conan looked at the two holes on the plate of medicine and felt a little strange. When he took it yesterday, the medicine was clearly a complete plate, and he consumed one pill. What happened to the extra hole?

"Mo Mi, are you sick?"

"No."

Conan looked back at Shi Mo Mi who was yawning strangely, but did not continue to ask.

After Maori confirmed that his daughter was fine, he kept looking at Conan. Yesterday, Conan ran up the burning suspension bridge regardless of the danger to remind Xiaolan. Maori was worried. He was stubborn and didn't care about Conan, but when he saw Conan jumping around and talking to Shi Mo Mi who was also here for some reason, Maori couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Conan, Shi, let's go home. I have to meet a client later."

Mauri urged the two.

Sonoko was picked up by the bodyguards at home in the morning, so she didn't have to go back with them at this moment.

While driving, Mao Li explained to the children the client they were going to meet: "He is an old-generation actor in costume dramas, named Hijikata Yukisaburo. He seems to be playing a detective in a recent TV series, so he wants to meet me for reference."

Xiao Lan liked these things in the first place, and she was looking forward to it: "Then Dad, will you take us with you?"

"Yes, I remember that when you were young, you would get together to watch the TV series he played. So I told him in advance that I would take you with me."

"Okay!"

Xiao Lan immediately excitedly grabbed Shi Mo Mi and talked about the TV series they had watched before. The TV series that Hijikata Yukisaburo first starred in were broadcast more than ten years ago. At that time, the weather was cold. Xiao Lan knew that Shi Mo Mi was afraid of the cold, so she pulled Shi Mo Mi and Shinichi, who wanted to go out to play football, to stay at home and watch the TV series videotapes together.

After chatting for a while, Shi Mo Mi realized that "I saw the name Hijikata Yukisaburo in the newspaper recently. It said that his wife was suspected of cheating and there was a divorce storm. The names of the people involved were the same as the Shinsengumi."

Xiao Lan had not seen this news: "Divorce storm?"

"Well, it's basically about Hijikata Yukisaburo's wife Nagakura Yumi and Okita Ichi, who is very popular recently, who were exposed to private meetings. Okita Ichi also had words that seemed to confess to Nagakura Yumi in public. And Hijikata Yukisaburo has been exposed to appearing with actresses many times. Hotel, suspected of cheating, although several people said it was a rumor, the media speculated that Hijikata and Nagakura would divorce in the near future. "

Conan seemed to stop coughing, and continued: "Hijikata, Okita, Nagakura. They are indeed the names of members of the Shinsengumi..."

Shi Mo Mi added: "Because the three of them are from the same entertainment company, they currently live in the same apartment building. Maybe I can see Okita at that time."

Mouri has heard about this gossip. The popularity of the Hijikata couple has been declining recently, and it has been affected by this news, and their reputation has declined again. I think Hijikata himself doesn't want to hear these children talking about these things. Seeing that they are about to reach the agreed restaurant, he reminded them: "We can talk about these things in private, but don't say them in front of Mr. Hijikata."

Xiaolan agreedNext: "I know, Dad."

Shi Mo Mi understood very well, and naturally would not bring up this topic in front of the main character.

Mao Li and others were slightly delayed by the case on the snowy mountain. When they arrived, Hijikata Yukisaburo had been waiting for a while. In order to avoid being photographed by reporters who were caught in the wind, Hijikata did not stay in the restaurant after receiving the people, but took the four people home.

The five people sneaked in from the back door like thieves, and happened to meet Okita Ichi who was getting off the elevator. Okita Ichi has been very popular recently, not only because of his first-class acting skills in the drama, but also because he is really handsome.

The two of them recently had that kind of dispute, but there was no tit-for-tat atmosphere when they met in the world. Hijikata Yukisaburo also smiled and asked Okita Ichi where he was going.

"Actually, Okita lives next door to my house. Okita, are you going out?"

Okita waved his hand and walked out without looking back: "I'm going to buy something. Don't worry, I'll be back before the agreed time."

Hijikata didn't seem to care. He asked several people to get on the elevator. When the elevator closed, Hijikata pressed the floor and began to distribute business cards to the people in the elevator.

Shi Mo Mi took the business card, but unlike the others, she didn't look at what was written on the business card, but looked at the elevator. She vaguely remembered that there was a case in which the murderer had tampered with the elevator, affecting Conan's judgment. So when Hijikata stood in front of the operating panel, Shi Mo Mi couldn't help but want to look at the elevator panel.

However, Hijikata was tall, and it only took a moment for him to lower his head to hand Conan the business card, and then he stood up and blocked the panel completely.

Shi Mo Mi didn't see anything at all, and the elevator arrived. Hijikata was very gentlemanly and pressed the elevator door, letting several people go out before walking out of the elevator.

It was Nagakura Yumi who opened the door for the group. Hijikata seemed to be very affectionate with her, and the little actions between the two were sweet.

After arranging the guests in the living room, Nagakura smiled apologetically: "Normally, I should stay to entertain you, but I had an appointment with a friend before, so I had to go out."

Mori waved his hands repeatedly: "It's okay, Madam, you can go if you have something to do."

Nagakura Yumi nodded, and also intimately straightened Hijikata Yukisaburo's collar: "Then I'll go out, Yukisaburo, you have to entertain the guests well."

Hijikata nodded: "Mr. Mori, you take a rest, I'll make tea for you."

After that, Hijikata closed the door of the living room.

After leaving the living room door, Hijikata patted the collar that Nagakura Yumi had touched as if to sweep away bad luck: "You are worthy of being an actor, your acting skills are not to be underestimated. Outsiders can't tell at all that you are a woman who extorts alimony from her husband before the divorce."

Nagakura Yumi also put away the gentleness on her face: "You can only blame yourself for having an affair. If I hadn't caught you, how could you be threatened."

"Oh? Don't you also want to be with that pretty boy named Okita after the divorce?"

"No, it's not that far yet. I don't know why you brought this detective here. Didn't you say you were going to talk to Okita in the evening? But I don't bother to care about you. I'll wait for you in the office."

Hijikata couldn't wait for it. He watched the man go out and smiled coldly behind the door.

For more than ten minutes, Hijikata, who said he was going to make tea, did not come back. Mao Li could hardly sit still and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but Shi Mo Mi kept emphasizing that the harm of second-hand smoke was greater than smoking directly. After thinking about it, he took the cigarette and went to the balcony.

In fact, there is no basis for "second-hand smoke is more harmful than first-hand smoke". After all, smokers are also breathing, and it is impossible not to inhale the exhaled smoke. However, there is only one person smoking, and there are usually more than one person forced to inhale second-hand smoke. This is where Shi Mo Mi's perverse logic comes from. Isn't it more harmful for Mao Li to inhale second-hand smoke when multiple people inhale second-hand smoke than when one person smokes first-hand smoke?

Shi Mo Mi said too much, Mao Li basically avoids several children when smoking.

Seeing that he did not smoke in front of several children, Shi Mo Mi was too lazy to persuade Mao Li to quit smoking.

Xiaolan was actually bored, but it was difficult for her to turn on the TV at other people's houses. Shi Mo Mi could see that she was bored: "Xiaolan, do you want to listen to my story?"

"Of course you can...Does Xiao Mi have a book?"

"No, but I can recite it. Whatever story you want to hear."

"It's all right!"

Shi Mo Mi thought for a moment and slowly said: "In a very far place, there is a tribe of sheep. There is a legend that the souls of dead sheep will fly up to the clouds..."

He tried to light a cigarette on the balcony, but the lighter wouldn't light up. Mao Li, who was addicted to smoking, finally threw the cigarette in his mouth to the ground in anger, and went back to the room to listen to Shi Mo Mi's story, still mumbling: "Why did I come here to take the commission, but I am here to listen to fairy tales..."

But Shi Mo Mi didn't finish the story,The door of the living room was opened by Hijikata who finally came back.

Hijikata held the tray and said, "I'm sorry, my wife usually makes tea, so I spent too much time."

Shi Mo Mi was speechless: Can it really take half an hour to wash the cups, boil water, put tea leaves in, and pour hot water? Killing a person in half an hour can clean up the body, right? Wait... You can't really take time to kill someone! ! ! !

Hijikata was still introducing the plot to be filmed to Maori: "Mr. Maori, the first scene will be a gun standoff between the detective and the man by the river. If the location is not changed, it will be filmed on the opposite shore."

"Opposite?"

Hijikata opened the balcony window and pointed to the river view below to show them: "Film it over there."

The sound of a phone ringing came from next door, and Hijikata explained "kindly": "Next door is the Okita family, it must be the phone ringing."

They all looked in the direction of the sound, and next door, a woman in green clothes slid down the glass balcony door onto the balcony. The woman's eyes were wide open, and she was motionless after falling down.

The woman's appearance was exactly Nagakura Yumi who was just talking to them.

It must be said that the scene of the body falling from the balcony was too classic, and the memory of Shi Mo Mi's death was activated in an instant. She still remembered that this person was killed by her husband, and then in order to get away with it, her husband threw the body into someone else's house downstairs.

Shi Mo Mi looked at Hijikata's shouting with a complicated expression, and pretended to climb to the other side, but was stopped by Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan.

"No! Mr. Hijikata, this is the fifth floor!"

"But! Yumi!"

Shi Mo Mi remembered the method of this case: "6."

Conan: "What?"

Hijikata was stopped, so he stopped struggling and climbed over from the balcony. He rushed to the door next door and knocked desperately: "Okita! I know you are home! Open the door!"

Mauri saw that no one opened the door: "I think I'll go downstairs to find the administrator to ask for a spare key."

Xiaolan also said that she would call the police. Hijikata knew that all the people living here were celebrities. Without the owner's certificate, the administrator below would not give a spare key, so he just needed to delay Xiaolan. , and said: "I'm afraid that Okita will run away, so I'll stay here! If you call the police, you might as well go to the police station next door to find the police there. The police station is very close."

Xiaolan nodded: "Okay... Hey, where are Xiaomi and Conan?"

Hijikata was busy acting and didn't see where Shi Mo Mi went: "Maybe he went downstairs with Mr. Maori?"

Xiaolan didn't doubt it: "Then I'll go downstairs and call the police!"

Although Hijikata guessed that the two children had gone downstairs, he was also afraid that the two were still in the room and would ruin his perfect plan, so he went back to the room where they stayed at the beginning to check and confirm. The living room and balcony were empty. There was no obstruction and no one was seen at a glance.

Hijikata secretly laughed at himself for being too suspicious, took out the key and returned to the door of the room with the house number "502, Okita" and turned the door.

When he thought that he could get rid of Okita, the thorn in his side, by throwing the body downstairs, Hijikata laughed happily. He opened the door to the living room next door while laughing.

In order to prevent Maoli from noticing something wrong on the balcony, the lights in the living room were not turned on, and the curtains were drawn, covering most of the glass door of the balcony. The body fell headfirst on the balcony. Even from a distance, Hijikata could still see the astonishment on the face of the body.

The breeze from the river lifted the corners of the curtains, and the curtains on the left and right sides of the floor lifted an arc. There should be nothing below, but a long and thin shadow was cast into the room from left to right.

Before Hijikata could figure out what the shadow was left by on the balcony, he heard a faint female voice:

"You seem to be laughing very happily..."
