Chapter 123 Who is the murderer?
Inside the elevator.

Faced with this sudden situation, the three of them were stunned and stood there in a daze.

Conan was the first to react. He ran out of the elevator and looked in the direction where the two Dark Night Dukes left.

It was too late, he couldn't catch up.

Then, Conan fell into thought.

The same goes for the other two.

For a moment, the elevator was so quiet that no one spoke.

Xiaolan probably already understood.

If the previous Duke of Darkness should be Maeda Satoshi, then the Duke of Darkness who appeared later was either Uncle Mori or Mr. Nijuu.

When facing the karate champion Maeda Satoshi, they were the only two who could dodge his moves.

Let’s eliminate the most unreliable Uncle Maori first.

Well, if nothing unexpected happens, the second Duke of Dark Night will be Mr. Twenty Feathers.

But why would he do this?
Is it just to save these people?
If this is true, then Mr. Ershiyu should have guessed long ago that Maeda Satoshi would appear here, so he disguised himself as the Duke of Dark Night in advance and waited for Maeda Satoshi to appear.

But...is this possible?
Xiaolan was a little confused.

Even Xiaolan can guess the truth of the matter, let alone the even smarter Conan.

From the moment the Dark Duke dodged Xiaolan's attacks several times in a row, Conan roughly guessed the other party's identity.

However, he couldn't find any reason for the other party to do so, and then the second Duke of Dark Night appeared.

Conan dares to guarantee that the second Duke of Darkness is definitely Xiaoyu, there is no mistake about it.

His appearance should be to help out.

Although Conan knew that Maeda Satoshi and Sawaha had both disguised themselves as the Duke of Darkness, and logically both of them could be the murderer, Conan immediately ruled out Sawaha as a suspect.

There's no way, Conan just trusts Sawaha so much.

So, is the murderer Maeda Satoshi?

There seems to be no reason or motive...

Conan glanced at Sayama Akiko secretly.

At this time, Akiko Sayama had no time to pay attention to Conan. She was very confused.

Among the two Dark Night Dukes just now, one must be her boyfriend, so, is it the first one or the second one?
As for the other Duke of Darkness, he must be the guy she met in the evening.

Maeda Satoshi left with that guy. No matter how you look at it, it seems dangerous.

…………

"What? The Duke of Darkness appears?"

Hearing what Xiaolan said, Uncle Maori pounded the table angrily, with such great force that even the ashtray on the table jumped up.

"Why didn't you catch him?" Uncle Maori said to Xiaolan very rudely, almost yelling.

He knew Xiaolan's abilities, so after learning that Xiaolan was attacked, Uncle Maori was not worried. Instead, he felt sorry that Xiaolan did not catch the other party.

"Sorry...but there are two people on the other side!"

Xiaolan argued in a low voice.

"Really? Are there really two murderers?" Uncle Maori calmed down and muttered in confusion: "If that's the case, then why did they fight? Was it an internal conflict? Or a disagreement?" "Uncle Maori." Conan couldn't help but interrupted: "I think the two Dark Night Dukes are not from the same group. Instead, they are a bit like enemies."

"Shut up, kid!" Uncle Maori ignored Conan's opinion and shouted angrily, "Don't interrupt when adults are talking!"

Conan's mouth twitched and he wanted to argue, but gave up in order to avoid being punched.

"Two Dark Night Dukes..." Officer Yokomizo frowned and said with a headache: "There should be only one murderer. Who is the murderer among the two Dark Night Dukes?"

Just when Officer Yokomizo was feeling a headache, the door was opened and two policemen came over, supporting a fainted policeman.

"What's going on?" asked Officer Yokomizo.

"Officer Yokomizo, Misawa has passed out in the body storage room. Apparently, he was knocked unconscious!" said a policeman.

"How could such a thing happen?" Officer Yokomizo asked anxiously, "Where is the body?"

"The body is fine," the policeman replied, "but the Duke of Darkness's clothes are missing."

"What?" Upon hearing the news, Officer Yokomizo felt even more of a headache.

"Among the two Dark Night Dukes, one ambushed Sanze and stole the Dark Night Duke's clothes, while the other prepared his own clothes. From this, we can see that one of them came prepared."

Just as everyone was thinking, another policeman rushed over and shouted, "Officer Yokomizo, the Dark Night Duke fell into the swimming pool!"

"What! Let's go and take a look!" Officer Yokomizo immediately rushed towards the swimming pool, and Uncle Mori and the others quickly followed.

…………

By the swimming pool.

Officer Yokomizo stretched out his arm and fished out a mask from the swimming pool. Looking at the clothes in the pool, he said solemnly: "It's just clothes..."

"It seems that the Dark Night Duke who stole the clothes is not going to show up again, so he threw away the clothes. But, what does the other Duke mean?"

Uncle Maori thought about it and came to the conclusion: "The other Duke of Dark Night came prepared. He prepared his own clothes and might take some action."

"No matter what..." Officer Yokomizo stood up and said firmly: "Gather all the suspects first!"

…………

After a while.

Everyone was gathered in a room, even Ze Yu, who had been cleared of suspicion.

"Everyone was in their own rooms at the time of the incident, but no one can prove it." Officer Yokomizo said in a serious voice with his back to the crowd.

"That is to say, when Ms. Sayama and the others were attacked in the elevator, you had no alibi, right?"

"Wait a minute, officer." Maeda Satoshi said, "We have been following your instructions and staying in our rooms. Is this wrong?"

"Yes, that's right." The old man agreed: "We all stay in our rooms."

Ze Yu also smiled and agreed: "Me too."

Conan looked at Ze Yu speechlessly as he lied with his eyes open, rolling his dead eyes, and chuckled in his heart.

He knew that the second Duke of Dark Night was disguised as Ze Yu, but Ze Yu openly stated here that he had been in the room at that time.

This is outrageous.

Xiaolan, who also knew the truth, looked at Zeyu with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"In short, the police must investigate everyone's room. Let's start with Mr. Maeda's," said Officer Yokomizo.
