Chapter 178 Discussion
"Let's not discuss whether the murderer is stupid or not." The square-faced uncle cut the Gordian knot and said directly, "Who else would hurt Ayako except the murderer who killed the hotel owner?"

"But, if the murderer is hiding among us, then when the garage caught fire, except for Toishi, none of us were present." A woman with very little presence said weakly.

"What?" Hearing this, Kento Toishi smiled awkwardly and waved his hands: "How could it be me? I already said, I was in the toilet at that time..."

Hattori Heiji interrupted him, stroking his chin, with a gleam in his eyes: "But no one can prove what you said, right?"

"Hey, hey..." Seeing someone suspecting him, Yanren looked helpless: "But I'm really not the murderer! If I were the murderer, why would I attack my own girlfriend?"

Hattori Heiji seemed to be thinking about something and didn't say anything.

He came to a conclusion in his mind.

What Yanren said makes sense, but we still cannot rule him out as a suspect and he is worthy of suspicion.

It is not uncommon for people to attack their partners. Maybe Yanren is one of them.

Until the truth comes to light, no matter how hard Kento tries, he will not be able to leave Hattori Heiji's list of suspects.

"Who is the murderer?" the maid asked worriedly, "It can't be that the garage caught fire by itself? Then how did Miss Ayako faint?"

"No, have you all forgotten? There is another person who might be the murderer." The passerby uncle's face was a little gloomy: "He is the owner of the hotel!"

"If the person sitting in the car and falling off the cliff was a dummy, then the hotel owner would have survived. He is the most likely murderer!"

"That's right. There have been similar scenes in novels." An old lady frowned and agreed.

"No, the person sitting in the car at that time was the real hotel owner. I have confirmed it." Hattori Heiji interrupted everyone's speculation with a serious face.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes!" Conan stood aside, his face full of approval.

"Then tell me, who is the murderer? Why did he hurt my Ayako?" Yanren showed an angry expression.

"Don't get excited." Uncle Maori raised his eyebrows and said, "The murderer should not be among us. Let's go back to the room and rest. We will talk about it tomorrow."

The situation has developed to this point and Uncle Maori is at a loss as to what to do. He has a headache and can only ask everyone to go back to sleep.

"No, it's too dangerous to go back to sleep now. Let's stay up all night together here." The woman with no sense of existence suggested: "If we all stay together, the murderer won't dare to act."

"This is the only way now." The square-faced uncle sighed lightly and took out a card-sized piece of paper from his pocket. There were a few lines of black words printed on the white paper.

"The murderer should be the boss. He is bloodthirsty. Have you seen this card?"

Uncle Maori reached out his hand, took the card, and took a look at it: "The book is in the back seat of the car... It just so happened that the garage caught fire. Did the murderer want to trick you into the garage and burn you to death? But he didn't succeed. Instead, he knocked Ayako unconscious, but didn't take her life."

Ze Yu, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly interrupted and said, "Actually, there's no need for you to argue so much. When Sister Ayako wakes up, won't the truth be revealed?"

"Yes, that's right." Uncle Maori pounded the table and nodded in sudden realization.

Hearing Ze Yu's words, Yanren had a bitter smile on his face, but secretly, he clenched his fists.

This nosy little devil...

Kento already had murderous intentions towards Sawaha.

He even dared to attack his own girlfriend, and his actions did not seem to hesitate, let alone other unrelated people?
If possible, Yanren would like to kill Xiaolan and Zeyu directly, or even everyone present. This guy's mind is twisted, and he is capable of doing crazy things, which is completely different from normal people.

While everyone was discussing, the two children, Hiroki and Haibara Ai, did not speak at all. They just sat on the sofa and listened quietly.

Hiroki felt that with Brother Yu here, it was not his turn to take action, but the most important thing was that he wanted to collect more clues, so he remained a bystander.

But Haibara Ai was simply indifferent and didn't want to talk much. Anyway, she couldn't give any useful advice at the moment, so there was no need to speak.

Everyone knew that Ayako must have been knocked unconscious by the murderer, and she knew the murderer's identity, so no one had the idea to continue the discussion and just waited quietly for Ayako to wake up and reveal the murderer's identity in person.

However, something strange happened.

Suddenly...

Click.

There was a power outage and the entire hall went dark in an instant, leaving everyone stunned.

"Why did the power go out suddenly?" Uncle Maori seemed a little unhappy.

Xiaolan was a little worried and said casually: "I have a bad feeling."

Swish!
A figure emerged from the darkness, holding a sharp ice pick in his hand, and stabbed it towards the square-faced uncle.

"Danger!"

Although the surrounding environment was very dark, the moonlight shining into the house from the window still played a certain role. Although Hattori Heiji did not see the murderer's face clearly, he vaguely saw his movements.

Seeing the murderer about to commit a crime, Hattori Heiji quickly shouted and reached out to push away the dumbfounded square-faced uncle.

The square-faced uncle was pushed to the ground by him and avoided the murderer's attack. The murderer was stunned for half a second, then turned around and stabbed towards Ayako who was lying on the sofa, wanting to kill her.

No matter what, let’s kill this guy first!
"Hmm?" Ze Yu tilted his head, his amber pupils looked indifferent, just looking at him like that.

The murderer clenched the ice pick in his hand and stabbed it quickly towards Ayako's body. His movements were so fast that it seemed no one could stop him in time.

but……

Ze Yu is still here.

He just stretched out his slender legs slightly and tripped the murderer.

"what's the situation?!"

The incident happened suddenly. The murderer was so frightened that he lost his balance and the ice pick in his hand flew out of his hand in a parabola, smashing the window and falling outside.

Wow!

The sound of breaking windows was heard, and Ze Yu silently withdrew his foot, doing good deeds without leaving a name.

The murderer didn't even know why he suddenly tripped.
