Chapter 172 The car fell off the cliff

After following the Junior Detective Team for so long, Haibara Ai has not gained nothing. Based on her experiences over the past few days, she has probably figured out a pattern.

In a situation like this, where everyone is waiting for someone but that person refuses to show up...

Then he (she) is probably done for.

Just like Miss Shii last time, she died not long ago, and Haibara Ai had a deep impression of her, so she naturally remembered some details.

According to the rules, Kanaya Hiroyuki hasn't appeared for such a long time, so he should be as unpopular as can be.

That's why Haibara Ai said this.

"how you said that?"

"Little friend, don't talk nonsense."

After hearing what Haibara Ai said, everyone's expressions became a little serious and they stopped Haibara Ai.

"Perhaps, this is not nonsense." Aragaki Yukimi looked at Huihara Ai with a gentle smile on her face, and there seemed to be a trace of tenderness in her eyes: "Mr. Kanaya hasn't shown up for so long, don't you worry about him at all?"

The tenderness in Yukimi's eyes flashed away, and soon returned to normal. Although Haibara Ai didn't see it, she seemed to notice it and looked up at Yukimi.

For some reason, Haibara Ai had a feeling that Aragaki Yukimi seemed to take extra care of her.

When she was criticized, she was the first to stand up and speak for herself.

But I obviously don't know her.

What a strange elder sister...

Haibara Ai's emotions gradually became complicated. The last person who made her feel complicated was Ze Yu.

Hearing what Xue Mei said, Hattori Heiji nodded thoughtfully and stood up: "That's right, Mr. Kanaya didn't come as agreed, maybe he encountered some accidents, I'd better go to his room and take a look."

"Yanren, I'm sleepy. Let's go too." The sarcastic woman rubbed her eyes tiredly and said to her boyfriend who was sitting next to her.

Seeing Hattori Heiji preparing to leave, she became tempted and didn't want to wait any longer.

It’s so late now, you might as well go back to your room and sleep. Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to sleep on such a big bed?

"Idiot." The man with glasses and wavy hair sneered. "If you leave now, you will lose. Only those who persevere to the end can get the collector's edition of "A Study in Scarlet."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and looked back at him.

Hattori Heiji also considered the possibility mentioned by the wavy-haired man.

Now, all of this is very likely a test from Kanaya Hiroyuki. If you leave early, you will lose the qualification to obtain the book...

But Hattori Heiji didn't care.

He is not a Sherlock Holmes fan.

Anyway, he doesn't care about the collector's edition of the book. If he loses the qualification, he loses the qualification. It's no big deal.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji withdrew his gaze, took a step forward, and prepared to leave.

at this time……

"Wait, what is that?"

The wavy-haired man named 'Yanren' seemed to have discovered something and looked out the window in surprise.

There is a cliff outside the window of the villa hotel.

"Is that the hotel owner's car? Is he driving?" Yanren's face showed a puzzled expression.

"What's going on?" After the words fell, Hattori Heiji, who was about to leave, frowned, immediately walked back, stood by the window, and looked at the scene outside.

I saw a car driving past the door of the villa and rushing towards the cliff in front.

This car belongs to the hotel owner, and he is sitting in the driver's seat. If no one stops him, he will definitely die by falling off the cliff!

"Why is the hotel owner still driving at this late hour?" Yan Ren murmured in shock, "He actually drove towards the cliff. Is he looking for death?"

"not good!"

Hattori Heiji was shocked when he saw this. He immediately opened the window, flipped over and chased after the moving car.

Conan followed closely behind.

Ze Yu ignored them completely. He closed his eyes, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip elegantly.

He looked calm and peaceful, and even if there was chaos outside, it would not affect him.

Haibara Ai and Xiaolan stood by the window, looking at everything outside. One of them was calm, and the other was worried, but they did not take any action and just watched quietly.

Although Hattori Heiji and Conan successfully caught up with the car, they were unable to rescue the innkeeper or stop the car because the doors were locked.

In the end, they could only watch the car fall off the cliff, crashing into the rocks below, bursting into brilliant sparks and splashing high waves.

boom!
There was a loud bang and even the car exploded. The hotel owner was now dead without a complete body. Even if someone fished out the body, it would probably be impossible to recognize its original appearance.

Hattori Heiji and Conan both widened their eyes and looked at the scene in horror. They felt sad for the death of the inn owner and angry at their own powerlessness.

By this time...

Ze Yu slowly placed the cup at his mouth on the table and opened his eyes.

Unlike Conan and the others who were shocked, Ze Yu's amber eyes were full of calmness and composure, as if he had seen through everything from beginning to end.

…………

More than ten minutes later...

Everyone gathered at the edge of the cliff.

"Is the hotel owner dead?" A fat woman asked uncertainly with a look of doubt.

"Yes, that's right." Hattori Heiji responded, his face full of solemnity and seriousness: "Right in front of me, he fell into the sea with his car."

"The fire waves burning below the cliff are the best proof."

"No way? How could this happen, my boss..." Faced with this situation, the maid with pockmarks on her face felt very scared and a little helpless: "And my salary..."

Ze Yu raised his head and looked at her strangely.

The boss is dead, and you are still concerned about wages?

What a good employee.

"At this point, don't worry about the salary." Maori Kogoro, who had just been awakened, rubbed his eyes and yawned tiredly. Even his voice seemed a little unclear: "Kanaya Hiroyuki must have committed suicide."

"In my opinion, he must have committed suicide because he didn't want you to get that Sherlock Holmes book."

The great detective Maori gave his unreliable reasoning, tried to get away with it, and then went back to his room to sleep.

It was very uncomfortable to be woken up in the middle of sleep. What he wanted to do most now was to go back to his room and have a good sleep.

"No, I think the hotel owner was most likely murdered." Yanren habitually sneered on his face, and one glance made people feel that he was not a good person.
