Chapter 152: Locking in the Murderer
Although Uncle Maori's favorite fighting style is the shoulder throw, even if he doesn't use this move, he can still knock someone out with one punch if he relies on his strength alone and is serious.

Of course, it’s not as exaggerated as Ze Yu.

Ze Yu was able to knock a man flying with one punch and smash the table in the process. Uncle Maori asked himself if he could do that.

"Sure enough, it's still too dangerous to let you stay." Uncle Maori sighed.

Fortunately, Ze Yu drove away the murderer, otherwise, if the two children were injured or even died due to the negligence of the adults, Uncle Maori would feel very guilty.

"Little Zeyu, you should come with us." Yuanzi said with some concern: "He ran away this time, but he might come again next time. Don't be alone again, and don't give that guy a chance to hurt you."

"I see." Ze Yu nodded, as if he was just saying it casually, and said innocently: "Come to think of it, after I drank that cup of coffee, I felt a little sleepy, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed."

"Could it be..." Uncle Maori was not an idiot. He quickly noticed something was wrong and seriously guessed, "Is there sleeping pills in that cup of coffee?"

Thinking of this, Xiaolan widened her eyes, with a touch of surprise and emotion, and said in a complicated way: "Xiaoyu, if you hadn't exchanged coffee with me before, I would be the one being attacked now, right?"

"Did you discover any problems in advance?"

"I don't know either." Ze Yu raised his arm, bent the index finger of his left hand, knocked his head, and said in confusion.

"The people who made the coffee before were Xiaolan and Aunt Mi." Uncle Maori did not immediately rule out the suspicion that Xiaolan had tampered with the coffee just because she was his daughter, because such an approach would be unconvincing.

He just turned his head and looked at Aunt Mi thoughtfully. Aunt Mi understood what he meant and immediately said, "Why would I do such a thing?"

"Don't be nervous. You were in the forest with us before, so the one who attacked Xiaoyu and the others was not you." Uncle Maori explained for Aunt Mi, but he had one more thing he didn't say -

However, I am not sure that there is only one murderer. Maybe there is another accomplice.

"Xiao Yu." Conan asked, "When you chased the murderer away, did you notice any details? For example, height, body shape, etc."

Before Ze Yu could answer, Huiyuan Ai spoke up, "He is an adult male, wearing a hood, and his clothes are different from ours. If the murderer is among us, we cannot rule out the possibility that he changed his clothes."

"By the way, the identity of that guy is not difficult to guess, because he just ran away." Uncle Maori clenched his left hand into a fist, pounded his right palm, and said with sudden enlightenment: "If the murderer is an adult male, then it can only be those few people."

"But Mifune and Gojo were with us before, and it was Rokuda and Ichieda Takashi who separated from us. Mifune and Gojo were also the ones who went after the murderer. In other words, the murderer is one of Rokuda and Ichieda Takashi!"

Conan nodded and said seriously: "Well, let's talk about it after they come back."

Uncle Maori originally wanted to nod, but he quickly reacted and found out that the person who was speaking was Conan. He frowned and punched Conan on the head without any hesitation.

boom!
"Adults talk, children don't interrupt!"

"Ouch!"

Conan covered the big bump on his head, stars in his eyes, and immediately fell to the ground.

"Dad, don't be so rude!" Xiaolan glared at her father.

"I don't think it matters." Yuanzi said gloatingly, "Naughty children deserve to be beaten."

After she finished speaking, Sonoko subconsciously felt that something was wrong, because what she said also included Zeyu. She immediately changed her words and said, "The naughty kid I was talking about is Conan, not Zeyu and this little girl." "Sonoko, this damn guy..." Conan covered his head, stood up shakily, and complained about his unreliable old classmate in his heart.

"Aunt Mi, did you notice anything unusual when you were in the hall before?" Conan asked, gritting his teeth.

"Come to think of it, I felt a warm breeze blowing over before, and then the power went out."

"Warm wind?"

Conan looked up at the heater on the wall, as if he had discovered something, then found the remote control, took a look at it, and ran out of the hall.

"Conan, this guy! Xiaoyu and the others were attacked by the murderer because they were alone, and he actually dared to run away!"

Uncle Maori glared and raised his eyebrows: "Let's go and catch him back!"

…………

Conan visited all the rooms in the villa and found a special place, and understood why the villa suddenly lost power.

Then, he was caught by Uncle Maori and taken back to the hall, where he was punched again.

The big bump on Conan's head turned into a pile of big bumps and small bumps. He looked very pitiful, with tearful eyes.

While everyone was not paying attention, Ze Yu quietly picked up his phone, pointed it at poor Conan, and took a picture.

In this day and age, the only device that can take photos is a camera, and most mobile phones are big brothers. Not to mention taking photos, it is even difficult to carry them with you.

But there is nothing to do, because behind Zeyu there is a huge organization that is at the forefront of the world in technology. Decades ago, Zeyu could play games with a touch-screen phone.

So, for him, it’s not too easy to pick up the phone and take a photo.

After a while, everyone else came back.

But the only ones missing were Rokuda and Ichieda Takashi.

Uncle Maori quickly asked, "What's going on? Can't you catch anyone?"

"He ran too fast, we didn't catch up." Mifune frowned, then relaxed: "But even if he ran away, it doesn't matter, because now only Rokuda and Ichieda Takashi haven't returned. They must be the murderer."

Uncle Maori nodded in agreement.

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask about your names." Ze Yu looked back at them and asked in confusion: "Ichieda Takashi, Nikaido, Mifune, Shii, Gojo, Rokuta, and the one you mentioned before, 'Nanao Yaeko' who died in an accident two years ago. One to eight, all are here..."

"Who is 'Nine' then?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. After a while, Mifune shook his head and said helplessly, "Without nine, seven and eight have already disappeared, as has two. The situation with four is not optimistic either. One of one and six is ​​the murderer. Our combination of numbers has long been incomplete."
