The world's No.1 detective doll

The next day's 'game' arrived as scheduled.

Yingzi walked in the front, and after opening the door with the key, the pungent stench came to her face.

"Well……"

Several people present covered their noses one after another.

"This is..." Conan's eyes froze, "The smell of corpses."

Everyone walked into the room, and as expected, there was a young woman lying on the bed in the room, who looked like she was sleeping peacefully.

But the pungent smell in the room and the pale color of the woman's body revealed the truth of the matter—she had been dead for at least two days.

The hot weather, the humid environment by the sea and the closed room made the smell of corpses more intense. Tan Baima frowned and went to the window to open it. The sound of waves flooded into the small space instantly.

The damp wind blows in from the window, the sound of waves lapping on the beach and cliffs, and the smell of rotting corpses lingers in the nose.

Yingzi only felt a chill down her back.

Ranbu took off the hat on his head and put it on his chest with a dignified expression, and was silent for a long time.

Shiliang turned his head angrily, staring at the camera in the corner of the room.

"Is this your game?!"

"Oh, what? Isn't there?"

"You bastard...! Life is not a game!"

"Stupid Sakura, go to the corpse."

"Mr. Ranpo..."

"Finding clues as early as possible to catch them and bring them to justice is the greatest respect for the dead."

Yingzi was silent for a while, then left the angry crowd and walked towards the corpse.

The deceased was lying on the bed, his hair tied behind his head was a bit messy, and the makeup on his face was exquisite.

Female, 24 years old, bank worker, single and unmarried.

After lifting the quilt, Yingzi saw that the deceased was neatly dressed and had no external wounds on his body.

Enduring the fear and feeling of vomiting, he walked back and forth, and found that the deceased's eyelids were bleeding, his lips were cyanotic... he died of suffocation.

There are traces of saliva at the corner of the mouth, and there are slender bruises on the wrists and ankles, which are traces left after being tied up too tightly.

...postural apnea.

The skin from the neck to the chest is slightly red and swollen.

Taking midazolam.

"Go and open the closet."

"Ok."

There was nothing in the closet, except for a single metal pillar used to hang clothes hangers across it.

The place of death, the closet.

Picking up the bag on the bedside table, I found the consumption receipt from the cafe.

The time of death was one o'clock in the afternoon the day before.

"Sakura, find a rope and tie one end to Tanizaki and the other end to you."

"Ok!"

Following Ranpo's command, Sakurako tied herself and Tanizaki together, turned over and jumped over the window.

"Hey! What are you doing, brat!" Mori Kogoro rushed forward in surprise, his tone full of anxiety, "Come up!"

Yingzi couldn't understand the opponent's roar, she jumped down lightly, firmly grasped the edge of the window with her right hand, and hung herself outside carefully.

There was a fairly calm sea under her feet, Yingzi fixed her eyes, and sure enough, there was a small gap on the wall between the second floor and the window of the second floor, where the silver key was inserted.

"Ah, found it."

After holding the key in her heart, Yingzi turned over and jumped into the room again. She spread it out, and there was a key in Bai Nen's palm.

"Huh? Kasuga-san has already found the key."

Sakurako looked at the camera that was flashing red light with piercing eyes.

"You first asked this girl out on the grounds of a date, and then coaxed her to come to this villa. You mixed the cake for her with midazolam for inducing sleep, and tied her with a rope after she fell into a deep sleep. Her feet were bound and she was placed upside down in the closet for ten hours, in a small enclosed space, coupled with her head-down position, the respiratory movement and venous return of the deceased were blocked, and she suffocated to death."

"After she died, you moved her out, untied her rope and put her on the bed."

Everyone present was taken aback.

Well...so fast.

"Well... From entering the door to completing the reasoning, even if you add the time to pick up the key, it only took... two minutes and 48 seconds."

Edward's joyful voice came from the little robot outside the door, and the wheel slid past gently, and the robot came to the center of the room.

"I really can't wait to incorporate you into our organization, or... destroy it."

"Thanks to Mr. Edogawa, all the detectives were able to pass this level so quickly."

"Then, before the next level comes, please enjoy the carnival in your spare time."

After the sound of 'Zi' fell, the robot made no sound anymore.

"Spring, spring is the same..."

After the indignation, he was completely shocked by Yingzi's reasoning at the speed of light.

In less than a minute, he deduced the truth of the case, found the key, and even turned down the window and took the key out on the edge of the cliff...

Is this really something humans can do?

"The important thing now is to find a way to get out. Even if we make it to the last level, love...he will never let us out."

"Hey? How come? Didn't he say..."

"It won't be that simple." Yingzi shook her head, and turned to look at the girl with the single ponytail, "His purpose is to attract detectives to join their organization. With such a good meeting at this time, how could he be so easy?" Let us out?"

"What's more...do you still remember that additional question?"

The worst performer will be...

"Then we..."

"Split up."

Although the key is found, the door of the next room cannot be opened with the key only before the next level is opened.

So the entire 'game' time is under Edward's control.

But the longer the delay...the greater the danger for everyone.

Sakurako and Tanizaki went to the gate of the villa first, and after [Xinxue] was activated, the camera projected the illusion of the two walking towards the kitchen.

"The metal gate..."

Yingzi touched it, and the cold temperature under the skin spread up along the heart.

"If you use a supernatural power... can you force it open?"

Tanizaki looked up when he heard the words. The whole door was nearly one meter high. The inside of the door seemed to be transformed into a smart door lock that could be controlled through the computer. If the door was damaged, Edward would probably be the first to open it. time knows...

It seems that the troops can only be divided into two groups, one part attracts Edward's attention and makes him have no time to take care of the affairs of the gate, and the other part breaks through the gate and leaves.

but……

The matter of breaking open the gate can only be done by Sakurako, and to attract Edward's attention... there is only Ranpo.

"Mr. Tanizaki."

Yingzi blinked, "When the time is ripe, I will break open the gate and you will cover everyone to leave. Mr. Ranpo and I will go to attract Edward's attention. If Mr. Ranpo is here, he should not care about other people leaving matter."

"But Sakura-chan, it's too dangerous to leave you and Mr. Ranpo here alone."

"It doesn't matter, they need your [Xi Xue] to get out of here, otherwise...if they meet someone from pal halfway, everyone's safety can't be guaranteed."

"After everyone retreats safely, Mr. Tanizaki is looking for support from the Supernatural Special Affairs Section to rescue us."

"What's more, Edward is the only one here, and I'm fine."

Tanizaki paused.

we can only do this.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the new level opens on time.

Just scanning around the room, Ranpo deduced the whole truth, and found the key stuck on the bed board under the bed.

"This old woman misses her missing son too much, so you sent Alyssa to confuse the old woman and lure her here."

"Because of her age, the old lady's eyes and ears are very insensitive, so you can easily knock her out."

"Then you filled the bathtub with ice cubes and water, and pressed the old woman in it. The freezing of the body with ice water delayed the detectable death time, but the degree of rigor revealed the real death of the old woman. time."

"There was a large amount of small and uniform white foamy liquid in front of the mouth and nose of the deceased. The skin was stimulated by cold water, and the arrector pili muscles of the hair follicles contracted, making the hair follicles swell and appear like chicken skin. The shape and color of the corpse spots... all prove that she important evidence of the cause of death."

One minute and 56 seconds.

"A young woman who simply wants to pursue love, and a sick and elderly grandmother who misses..."

There was a hint of anger in Yingzi's brows.

"One innocent person after another has been dragged into this meaningless 'game' by you. Is this the wisdom and truth you are after? Or is this the spirit that your wise people uphold?"

"Or, what about Birdwin's... Faith?"

Edward laughed a few times, "It's so stupid, you can't understand this, silly girl."

The robot circled around Sakurako.

"I really don't understand Alyssa, and I can't see where the bright spots on you she said are. If I didn't lose the bet, I promised her that she would never kill you..." Edward paused, then sneered , "I will definitely try to get rid of you."

"Of course, all of this will happen after we get Mr. Edogawa."

Tanizaki raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Ranpo will never agree to join you, and we will never let you get him! Not to mention... let your plan succeed!"

"Hmph, whether it's your Armed Detective Agency, or the Supernatural Secret Service... as long as anyone tries to stop our plan, we will eradicate them one by one!"

Detective Baima took a step forward silently, "I know a thing or two about your plan, and your so-called ideas are really... ridiculous."

"What did you say?!"

Hattori also set his sights on robots.

"Although I don't know what your so-called plan is, but... I will not forgive people who treat human life like a game!"

"That's right! Not just Heiji, we will never forgive you!"

Everyone stood beside Yingzi, looking at the robot with red light without fear.

"This so-called game is over!"
