Chapter 174 Someone Has Seen the Truth

"…Then, we who had been staying in the hall for several hours did not have time to commit the crime." Hattori Heiji continued his reasoning, and everyone listened quietly.

At that time, ten people including Hattori Heiji were sitting together, and five people left the hall, including Uncle Mori.

"You mean, the murderer is one of the five of us?" The square-faced uncle pointed at himself in surprise, with an incredible look on his face.

"Please, don't count me in. I was sleeping the whole time!" Uncle Maori said dissatisfiedly.

Uncle Maori was very unhappy that he was inexplicably included among the suspects.

At this time, a passerby suddenly said, "By the way, I remember there are cameras in this villa hotel. Maybe they can capture some clues?"

"I'm sorry, those cameras are fake, they are just models." The maid said embarrassedly.

"In that case, we can only rely on me, the great detective Maori, to find clues!" Uncle Maori cheered up and said confidently.

Hattori Heiji glanced at Uncle Mori indifferently and said nothing.

He always felt that this great Maori detective seemed a little unreliable, so he shouldn't count on him. He still had to rely on himself.

"Young detective~" Kento's girlfriend quietly approached Hattori Heiji, leaned over to his ear, and whispered, "Did you find the one you were looking for just now?"

"No." Hattori Heiji was not used to a strange woman being so close to him. He subconsciously took a step to the side, looked back at her, and a drop of cold sweat appeared on his face.

“I see. Haha…” The woman laughed, “I know who the murderer is!”

"Ayako..." Yanren looked at her with some concern. To others, it seemed that he was concerned about his girlfriend.

But in Ze Yu's opinion, he was clearly afraid that his girlfriend would expose his identity as the murderer, so he had the intention to kill.

Ze Yu shook his head and turned to look at the woman.

This woman's name is the same as Sonoko's sister's, 'Ayako', but her personality is completely different.

Ayako took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, put it in her mouth, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a wisp of white smoke.

"I already have the decisive key evidence in my hands, and I also know his modus operandi." Ayako drooped her eyelids and sneered, "I'll give you ten minutes to think about it. If you don't want me to expose your identity, you'd better turn yourself in."

Her fingers loosened, and she casually threw the cigarette she had just lit to the ground and stomped it out.

Anyway, the ground here has become a mess, with the remains of mobile phones all over the ground. Even if there is an extinguished cigarette, it doesn't seem to have any impact.

"Ms. Ayako, what did you say?" Hearing her words, Hattori Heiji was completely shocked.

Even he, a famous detective, couldn't find the murderer so quickly, but this unknown woman was able to do it?
Even more powerful than this famous detective!
Moreover, looking at the other party's confident look, it is obvious that he is not bluffing, but it is very likely that he really knows who the murderer is.

"Since you know who the murderer is, why don't you just tell me?" Uncle Maori yawned lazily, "This way you don't have to bother me, and I can go back to bed early."

"I said, give him ten minutes to think about it." Ayako refused to reveal the identity of the murderer in advance, smiled coldly, and walked outside.

As she walked outside, she raised her head and looked at her boyfriend meaningfully.

Just this one glance made Yanren tremble all over. Although his face still showed the same worry as before, he clenched his fists in his heart.

This hateful woman... is she threatening him? !
"Ayako, where are you going?" Yanren asked with pretended concern, hiding the murderous intent in his heart.

"Go to the bathroom." Ayako said without turning her head and ignoring her boyfriend.

"Are you an idiot? You are simply reckless!" Yanren looked anxious, "You are acting alone, and you will be targeted by the murderer!"

"Really?" Ayako stood at the door, glanced at him, and said meaningfully: "You will protect me...right?"

After that, she left the room directly, and Yanren hurriedly followed, leaving only a sentence: "Wait for me!"

Both of them left the room, and Yanren closed the door before leaving.

"Since she knows who the murderer is, then you, the famous detective, are useless?" At this time, the square-faced uncle did not forget to mock Uncle Maori.

He had long been annoyed with the detective.

"Shut up!" Uncle Maori retorted forcefully: "That woman is just being mysterious!"

"I don't think so." Conan said seriously: "She must have discovered some clues that we don't know about."

Once Conan gets serious, he forgets that he is a child and behaves completely unlike an ordinary child.

"I think so too." Heiji nodded and looked at Conan thoughtfully.

The last time, he met this kid in the haunted house, he had a feeling at that time that this smart kid had the talent to become a famous detective.

When he grows up, he will definitely achieve something.

Now it seems that Hattori Heiji's feeling at that time was correct. Although the child is very young, he already has the shadow of a detective.

Thinking back to the time before, when the other person was lying on the ground looking for clues, his head bumped into mine, and then I threw him out…

It seems a bit excessive.

Will this dampen the enthusiasm of this little detective?
However, when Hattori Heiji saw Conan's serious look, he immediately felt relieved.

It seems that it won’t happen.

I have to say that children are full of energy. Even if they are thrown to the ground, it cannot stop their curiosity.

"Conan! I've told you many times, children should not interrupt when adults are talking!" Uncle Maori walked over aggressively, raised his fist in front of Conan's frightened eyes, and punched him on the head without hesitation.

boom!
The next moment, Conan fell to the ground.

After witnessing this scene, Hattori Heiji's mouth twitched and he felt a little embarrassed.

This uncle is too cruel, isn't he? How could he treat a kid with detective talent like this?

No wonder the other party didn't care even if he threw him out. It turned out that he had gotten used to it.
