Protect our prophets

With the prophecy in hand, a group of people rushed to the backyard, and with the help of the gardener, cleared the hornet's nest from the tree.Then, I found a poisonous needle from the flower pot.

If Katori came over to tend the flowers and plants unsuspectingly, he would be caught accidentally, cut his hand, and fell silently in the yard. By the time everyone found out, he would have been powerless to recover.

Songxue also forgot about going back to catch up on sleep, sat down on the next step, and began to think.

It was poisoning again.

This huge "House of Illusion" is like a secret room to all players at this time.Although it is difficult to carry knives and guns inside - Katori Shinzaburo has worked hard on security - but it is inevitable to find other handy tools, such as knives in the kitchen, and heavy objects...

In these two predictions, including the "method of death" in the script, there were no clues of attacking people, whether it was a figure or an attack from a foreign object.In the picture she saw, there was only the victim.

In the script, Mr. Uesugi was killed by himself by mistake. Besides the script, Katori Shinzaburo laughed at the saying "someone wants to kill himself". Is there any special reason?

Thinking about this, Songxue raised her head, and saw that the teenagers were chatting under the shade of a tree.

Kaito was narrating the experience of last night—no doubt, he still had some reservations—After the tryst, Shuzo Uesugi did not go back to the room immediately, but went to the painter to find Kurihara Lingsa, but the latter was inspired, and was Busy with coloring, not in the mood to chat with him.

It was already past two o'clock in the morning.

Uesugi was frustrated, so he had to go to Mifune to exchange the script.Unfortunately, Miss Mifune was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep, so she went to the kitchen and wandered around, and met Mrs. Katori's female companion, Ms. Shiraishi Kaede.The two chatted about their experience in making cakes, but Uesugi couldn't get in the conversation, so he walked away in despair.

After going around like this for a long time, it was almost dawn.

Kaito thought he would go to Katori Shinzaburo to find out where the gem was hidden, but strangely, he went straight back to the room and didn't go out again.

At around five o'clock, the two ladies, Mifune and Shiraishi, came out of the kitchen with unsatisfactory expressions, and went back to their rooms.Finally, the lights in the studio went out too—for it was broad daylight.

This whole night, I don't know how many people stayed up all night.

After listening, Hattori Heiji said thoughtfully: "The gardener said that Katori and his wife hadn't come here this morning, and he watered it. Before leaving work last night, he checked the flower stand, and there was no problem. That is to say, the poison needle It was arranged last night, and since the entrances and exits are monitored, it is only possible for people who enter and leave the backyard at will, and their identities will not be suspected."

Most of the players have no stake in Katori, the whereabouts of several actors are clear at a glance, and there is no chance to make a move.

The suspect was by Katori's side.

As soon as they said this, they heard footsteps, and when they looked back, Katori Shinsaburo walked leisurely in the courtyard, and was slightly surprised to see them.

"You...how did you find this place?" He was slightly confused, thinking about it, but he didn't find any clues to the backyard?

Could it be that they want to search the tears of the sky in a blanket manner?

Katori shook her head, reminded with a smile: "Be careful, some flowers are very delicate, I don't want to make Shizuko sad."

When he got closer, he saw Songxue sitting there with a handkerchief beside him, and the poisonous needle was pressed on the handkerchief.

"This is—" He was taken aback.

"Is Mr. Katori here to water?" Conan asked calmly, "It seems that someone still wants to harm you."

This time, Katori was not as calm as last night, he hesitated before saying, "It might...but..."

He couldn't go on, and couldn't find any reason.

The high school students all looked at him with sharper eyes than the other.

He had heard that the young master of the Atobe family was very promising, and this time he had a deal with him, and he gave him a half-smile look. Even Katori Shinzaburo, who had experienced a lot of trouble in the business world, felt a little uncomfortable and forced a smile.

"Last night, no outsiders entered here."

"Well, that's true." Baima Tan replied calmly, "So, among the people living in the main house, who does Mr. Katori think has the most motivation?"

Katori looked at him blankly, and shook his head: "This, I haven't thought about it. They are all... unlikely, right?"

After a while, Katori hurried back to the main house on the pretext that she was not feeling well.Hattori Heiji looked at his back and suddenly said, "No, we still have to keep an eye on him."

"I'm with you." Seeing that Heiji had turned his hat in the other direction and was ready to act, Inspector Baima also offered to say, "The two of you have a care together."

Heiji nodded, then looked back at Conan.

Go ahead, he nodded to him, indicating that there was no problem on his side.

As for Kaito Kidd...

Heiji still kept an eye out, and pulled Atobe aside to whisper before leaving.The two quickly reached a consensus, and he held Atobe's hand with a smile: "Then I will trouble Huachi-san!"

Atobe waved his hand to show that you are welcome.

After the two left, Songxue stood up at this moment, and slapped off the leaves on the trouser legs.

"Katori's reaction was suspicious," she said.

"It reminds me of... "The Strange Case of the Cliff Villa." Conan said in a low voice, holding his chin as if talking to himself, "The heroine has escaped several times in danger, making the detective think that someone is going to kill her, but in fact, It was all her own deliberate arrangement."

Of course, her purpose was to kill another human being.

But the current situation is that if Matsuyuki's prediction is not wrong, and they did not prevent the two attempted murders, then Shinzaburo Katori will really die.

——Moreover, for two consecutive days, Matsuyuki only saw the prophecy on Katori, and the others were safe and sound.

"This is a doubtful point." Kaito continued, "Another doubtful point is that the 'secret date' between Katori Shizuko and that... secretary Mr. Nojima Kaito we saw last night in the garden, is it true or not? "

As an important scene in the script, the garden has cameras inside and out. Even if it is impossible to take care of every corner, it is still very difficult to enter and leave the garden without being discovered.

What's more, the two of them did not avoid suspicion last night and left together.

Lonely men and widows came out of the garden in the middle of the night...

Don't Mr. Katori know?If he knew, what was his attitude towards this matter?

"No man would like to be green." Matsuyuki said solemnly, paused, and quickly added, "Okay, we need to get rid of a few NTR fans. But I always feel that Mr. Katori Shinzaburo doesn't look so perverted ..."

Uh, no.She quickly overturned her point of view and changed her words: The more pious a gentleman looks, the more likely he is a pervert.

"..."

The four male compatriots in front of her were silent.

Afterwards, Atobe looked at her subtly and with unimaginable eyes: "Why are you so proficient?"

Songxue quickly calmed down: "Because I have a homeboy boyfriend."

"..."

I'm sorry, Liu Sheng-kun, borrow it to block it!

Thinking alone will not produce results.

Conan still intends to talk to the person involved. Katori Shizuko and the others are still in the garden, acting as NPCs who answer questions. They certainly don't expect to be regarded as the real murder suspect.

After Kaito returned to the team in the morning, he acted very Buddhist in finding gems, stood in front of him decisively, and continued to be the "new brother" in the eyes of everyone.And Atobe and Hattori Heiji made an appointment to let Huachi keep an eye on this.

It doesn't take so many people to inquire about information, Songxue separated from them in the porch, turned around and walked into the hall.

The butler came in through the side door with tea and was a little surprised to see her.As far as he knows, players are now looking for the whereabouts of gems in various courtyards, and it is the first one to find them in the "House of Illusion".

"Miss Songxue—"

"Has Mr. Katori returned to his room?"

The butler nodded and said yes, and said, "Master also brought two young gentlemen with him. It seems that this is not the original arrangement... By the way, he intends to let me go to the wine cellar to get a bottle of wine."

Matsuyuki went upstairs with him, came to the study room last night, walked in, and Hattori Heiji was squatting beside the sofa looking at something seriously, which shocked them.

"You're here." Heiji nodded to her, and said solemnly, "When we entered the door, something suddenly fell from the top of the door. Fortunately, we reacted quickly and pushed Mr. Katori away..."

Mr. Katori was helped by them to lie on the sofa, grinning, trying to squeeze out a wry smile.

"Where is Mr. Baima?"

"The bell is broken, no one has come here, he went out to find the medicine box." Heiji explained.

It was a statue of a statuette, which hit Katori on the shoulder and knocked on the head again, possibly with a slight concussion.He sighed.

The housekeeper was a little overwhelmed, and was ordered by Hattori Heiji to find Hakuba Tan, and Katori continued to lie on the sofa and groan.

The two exchanged glances and walked to the window.

"Fortunately we followed..." Heiji whispered, "It's really hard to guard against."

Matsuyuki was also a little scared. Her prediction was at most once a day, and Katori had given Katori the opportunity for these two days, but she didn't expect it to be enough.How insane was the murderer?

If one blow has not succeeded, immediately arrange for the next ambush.

No, it should have been arranged a long time ago. It seems that Katori is not so easy to be recruited, so prepare a few more plans and strive to win by numbers?

"Don't worry, I'll just watch him today." Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth, moved his shoulders, showed the confidence of a master of swordsmanship, and vowed that Katori's life would be handed over to him.

Songxue looked out through the window. From this angle, she could only vaguely see a corner of the garden. There was a faint figure, probably some player picking the fence.

"It's interesting that these methods are arranged in advance." She said slowly, "It's not easy to find an alibi."

"Well, I'll leave it to Kudo over there. With him around, there's no problem." Heiji said affirmatively.There was no one else present here, and Songxue knew who the "Kudo" he was talking about was, so she didn't bother to remind her. She just said, "If you think about motivation, emotional and financial interests, who will benefit the most?"

"If Mr. Katori dies, then the beneficiary will naturally be Mrs. Katori who inherits the inheritance," Heiji said without thinking, "Unless he has other arrangements in the will. But Mrs. Katori also has a part of the company's equity in her hands..."

On the other hand, Secretary Nojima is still young. Although he won't get any direct benefits, as long as Katori Shinzaburo is dead, he can be with Shizuko.Katori Shizuko was the eldest lady of a certain family before she got married, and now she is still a young and beautiful rich woman, so he can be regarded as an indirect profit.

The remaining two are the Shiraishi mother and daughter who seem to have no relationship. They are purely accompanying and invited to the island to play.The matter of the Katori family seems to have nothing to do with them...

Does it matter?

Matsuyuki recalled Shiraishi Yukino's appearance, then looked at Katori Shinzaburo with his eyes closed on the sofa, quietly raised his elbow, and poked Hattori Heiji.

"Do you think this face is a little familiar?" She raised her eyebrows at him, showing a little smile.

After thinking about it for a while, Heiji showed a suddenly realized expression.

"In this way, there are motives."

The two were silent for a while.

"However, we don't have evidence." Heiji mused, lowering his voice even more, "No one would admit this kind of thing without solid evidence."

Yes, Songxue sighed and nodded.

"This is the troublesome place, unless we catch a current one."

Heiji felt that she was pointing something, and looked over curiously: "Do you have any ideas?"

"We can take the initiative to arrange a script." After she finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Conan.

Director Ke, it's up to you!

The author has something to say: (Note: Tauren=NTR, in simple terms, it can be understood as someone giving someone a cuckold...)

The first case dragged on too long, hoot, try to finish it in these two days.
