Martha went back to her room, took a shower, lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

After one o'clock in the morning, a rapid and continuous knock on the door woke her up.

Martha got up from the bed very reluctantly, opened the door with half-opened eyes, and asked impatiently: "Who is it? It's here at night to disturb people's dreams..."

Outside the door was a group of men in suits with white gloves on their hands.The leader took out his ID from his pocket to identify himself, "Hi, I'm the police. A murder happened in your downstairs room, and now I need your assistance in the investigation."

"...Murder case?!" Martha immediately woke up.

In other words, the figure she saw in the hotel restaurant just now was indeed a elementary school student of the God of Death!

"Yes. During the time you were resting in the room, did you hear any strange sounds or strange things?" The police took out a small notebook and began to make routine inquiries.

"No, I slept soundly and didn't hear anything." Martha glanced out of the corridor, but she didn't see the figure of the elementary school student who died.

Are you still searching for evidence at the murder scene?

"The deceased's name is Saiki Kusuo, 17 years old, a high school student. Do you know him?" The police took out a photo from the notebook and showed it to Martha.

Saiki Kusuo? ? ?Wait, are you sure he's dead? !

The police found that Martha's expression was a little strange, "Do you know the deceased?"

"I don't know." Martha shook her head, returned the photo to him, covered her mouth and pretended to be unwell, "Sorry, this is the first time I've seen a dead body."

"It's okay." The police took back the photo, and Peter, who happened to live in the next room, heard the sound.

"It's so noisy! What are you doing without sleeping in the middle of the night!" Peter was also woken up, wearing a set of pajamas with a Q version of Iron Man on his body, and his hair was messy.

The police/police explained the situation to him. After hearing that there was a murder case, Peter was completely shocked, "Dead, dead?!"

"Mr. Police/Mr. Police, if you finish your questioning, I want to go back to sleep." Martha yawned pretending to be sleepy.

"Sorry, according to the forensic department's deduction, the murderer is hidden in the people who live in the four rooms above, below, left, and right of him. Although you insist that you don't know the deceased, as one of the suspects, you still need to record a detailed statement. "

Although the police/police also think that Martha seems to be innocent, but their duty is not to be favoritism.

"Suspect?!" Peter's eyes widened in fright, "Martha, you, did you kill someone?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Martha hurriedly laughed and explained, "I'm sorry, children are ignorant, they just like to talk nonsense."

"Please come downstairs with us."

Martha couldn't resist, so she had to follow downstairs, and saw two familiar figures, "Professor? Tony? Why are you here?"

"They are the other two suspects in this case." The police introduced her.

Martha suddenly had a bad feeling, "What about the last suspect?"

"My colleagues are bringing him over."

"Let me go! I didn't kill anyone!" A man in a red and black tights came between two police officers, and he kept yelling, "I didn't kill this high school student! I killed him!" Not so heartless!"

"Wade." Martha raised her hand weakly to greet him.

"Martha?" Peter saw the policeman standing beside Martha, and immediately understood what was going on, "Are you also suspected of murder?"

Martha nodded helplessly. Just as she was about to ask Deadpool why she was here, she heard Megure Police Department talking to Mori Kogoro, "How about Mori-kun, have you deduced who the murderer is?"

"Hmm..." Mori Kogoro rubbed his chin, looked left and right next to the corpse, "His death is so strange, hasn't the forensics department found out the cause of his death yet?"

"Still investigating, all four suspects have been brought here."

Martha glanced inside, only Police Department Megure and Mori Kogoro were present, and Ran and Conan were not seen.

Kogoro Mori, who is awake, seems to be useless.

The Mumu Police Department and Kogoro, who couldn't find a clue, decided to interrogate the suspect first.

Everyone’s confessions were roughly the same. They were all awakened by someone knocking on the door in the middle of their sleep, only to know that a murder had occurred, and they didn’t hear any strange sounds.

Martha raised her hand weakly, "Excuse me, is Mr. Maori the only one here today? I usually watch TV, and you will come out with your assistant."

"Assistant?" Kogoro thought for a while, "You mean my daughter Mao Lilan, right?"

"That's right, why didn't you see Xiaolan and Conan-kun today?" Only then did Aoki realize that there were two fewer people at the scene today than usual.

"There was a monster attack in Yumu District this morning. Xiaolan's good friend was injured and taken to the hospital. She just received the news and hurried to the hospital with the little devil's head." Xiao Wulang folded his hands on his chest, his face It was full of displeasure, "Really, I have to go at this big night, can't I go tomorrow."

Martha groaned inwardly, if Conan didn't come, this confused uncle would definitely arrest someone as a murderer!

"Ah? It's so late. It's not good for a girl to take a child to the hospital. It's not safe. You'd better call them and tell them to come back." The person Martha wants to see most now is that Reaper elementary school students.

"Hmph, I don't need you to tell me. When this murder case is over, I will go to the hospital to pick them up." Kogoro showed an expression that he didn't want you to meddle in his own business.

Waking up in the middle of the night and being treated as a suspect, Tony has long been upset, "Hey, how long are you going to investigate? You haven't been able to find out. Have we been sitting here all this time?"

"That's right!" Deadpool echoed.

After knowing the tin dwarf for so long, I finally heard him speak human words once.

Tony whispered beside Charles, "Professor, have you sensed who the murderer is?"

Charles shook his head helplessly, "I only know that none of the four of us are murderers."

"Don't be impatient, everyone, we will definitely find the murderer as soon as possible." While calming everyone's emotions, the Mumu Police Department secretly prayed for Kogoro to find the real murderer as soon as possible.

Kogoro went to the open terrace, looked up and down, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he clenched his fist with one hand and tapped his palm, "Police! I know who the prisoner is!"

"What?!" Upon hearing this, the Mumu Police Department hurried over with a big belly in their hands, "Maori-kun, who is the murderer?"

"The murderer is..." Kogoro flicked his bangs feigningly, pointed at the crowd with the other hand and drew it around, and finally stopped on Martha, "It's you! Miss Martha who lives above the dead man!"

"Me?!" Martha looked at his fingers with astonishment.

"Yes. As you can see, the balconies of each room are far apart, and there is a wall in between, so the two gentlemen who live next door are absolutely impossible to commit crimes. There are no water pipes or anything like that next to the balconies. The gentleman who lived downstairs could not have climbed up the wall with his bare hands, so the only prisoner could be you!"

Kogoro straightened his tie, and confidently spoke out a reasoning that he thought was perfect.

"...Although I live upstairs from him, it's impossible for me to jump to his balcony."

What kind of broken reasoning is this, there is no logic at all!

"You probably used something like a rope to climb down, and then used some method to cause the death of the deceased!" Kogoro began to insist that Martha was the murderer.

There are too many slots, and Martha can't vomit anymore, "I said, you don't even know the cause of death, so is it really okay to conclude that I am the murderer so quickly?"

The Megure Police Department is a little dubious about Kogoro's reasoning, but the case is now at a bottleneck and needs to find a new breakthrough, "Miss Martha, if you don't mind, we want to search your room."

"Search whatever you want." Anyway, she had a clear conscience.

Tony and Charles were not worried either. They were bored sitting around anyway, so they simply asked the waiter to bring a bottle of red wine to share with everyone.

However, the follow-up of the incident was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Not only did the police find a long rope on the balcony of Martha's room, there was also a set of safety equipment on the rope, and a bottle of pesticides for flowers was placed next to it. That may have been the cause of the deceased's death.

In the eyes of the police/police, Martha has almost been stamped as a murderer.

"I didn't kill anyone! Those things don't belong to me!" Martha was also dumbfounded, completely unaware of why those things appeared in her room, and could only make pale excuses.

Megure Police Department gave Takagi a wink, "Let's go to the police station to talk about anything."

Seeing that something was wrong, Tony immediately took out his mobile phone to contact the lawyers and asked them to come to the scene.

Takagi took out the handcuffs and was about to put them on for Martha, but was blocked by Charles, "I'm pretty sure she's not the culprit. Regarding this case, I suggest you check it out again."

After a long journey to Japan, Martha didn't want to experience life in a cage in the police station, so she immediately decided to actively save herself.

She rushed towards Mori Kogoro suddenly, startling the others.

Just when the policemen thought she was going to hurt Kogoro and were about to stop her, Martha, who touched Kogoro with her fingertips, activated her ability and immediately fell asleep.

"What, what's going on?" The matter developed so fast that the police department's eyes were almost blurred.

"She fainted." Martha, who was dressed as Kogoro, described the situation lightly, preparing for the next step. "Please help her to rest first."

Martha winked at Charles, and Charles immediately understood, helped Martha's body and said, "She may be anemic, I'll take her to my room to rest first."

"Takagi, you go with me too." Mumu Police Department ordered.

There are many prisoners who want to escape by pretending to be sick, and the police will not be fooled by them.

Martha imitated Kogoro's usual tone of voice, and put one hand in her trouser pocket, "Hey, Police Department, I thought about it carefully and felt that my reasoning just now has some loopholes. Miss Martha may not be the real culprit in this case."

To be honest, I don't know if that corpse is really 'dead'.

"Oh? What kind of loophole?"

"Miss Martha and the deceased were strangers. Even if she really used the rope to come to this room, the deceased would be wary of her, and even resisted. She should not be easily poisoned by her. And the room is very Clean and tidy, with no signs of fighting at all." Martha observed and analyzed the surroundings, trying to clear herself of her grievances.
