Chapter 296: The Bandaged Monster Reappears
"Why did you bring us here and even let us stay here overnight?" Conan asked helplessly with his dead eyes rolled.

"What's the reason?" Hattori Heiji said with a smile: "I just called you here because I wanted to see you."

Upon hearing this, Ze Yu, who was standing aside, looked at Haibara Ai next to him, and the meaning was self-evident.

It seems that there is a strange relationship between Conan and Hattori Heiji.

Xiaolan is green?

"Damn it!" Conan was a little annoyed and angry after being teased, and his face turned a little red.

He simply raised his watch and aimed the crosshairs on the watch cover at Hattori Heiji's neck, wanting to let his like-minded friend have a good sleep here.

"Wait, I was lying to you!" Hattori Heiji waved his hands, not worried at all, still with that smiling face.

"Actually..."

"Jingle Bell!"

Just as Hattori Heiji was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted by the ringing of a bell.

The butler walked towards the phone and answered it: "Hello, who is this?"

The voice of Nagato Guangming came from the phone: "This is Guangming, please let my father-in-law answer the phone!"

At this moment, Ze Yu leaned close to Huiyuan Ai's ear and whispered, "Xiao Ai, I have a task for you."

"While no one else is paying attention, run to the first floor and drain the water from the fountain."

"I understand." Haibara Ai nodded, ignored the butler who answered the phone, and quietly slipped away without even looking at him.

After arriving on the first floor, Haibara Ai walked out of the villa. Outside the villa, it was dark and she couldn't see the environment clearly.

She turned on the flashlight function of her watch, illuminating the surroundings, then walked to the fountain and opened the plug.

A whirlpool appeared on the surface of the fountain, the water level became lower and lower, and the originally full water was gradually drained.

.........

in the room.

"Want the master to answer the phone? But the master has fallen asleep." The butler said with some embarrassment.

"But I can't find Hideomi anywhere!" Nagato Mitsuaki said anxiously on the phone, "Where on earth did he go...ah!"

A scream came from the phone.

"Mr. Guangming?" The butler panicked.

Uncle Maori immediately rushed over, snatched the phone from his hand, and asked solemnly: "What's wrong with you? Where are you now?"

"...I was in the room below you. I don't know who turned off the light. He was holding a knife and following me...Ah!"

Uncle Maori frowned, quickly opened the glass door, stood on the balcony, and looked down.

"Hey, are you okay, Mr. Bright?"

Except for the president who had fallen asleep, everyone in the room ran to the balcony and looked down.

I saw a strange man walking out from the balcony downstairs. He had a bandage on his face, cold eyes and a sharp knife in his mouth.

"It's Hideomi!" Miss Hinata was startled and said fearfully.

"Hideomi" glanced at everyone and walked into the room. Uncle Mori led the others and immediately chased downstairs.

Miss Hinata was the only one left. She sat on the ground helplessly, as if she had been overcome by fear. Her legs were a little weak, so she did not move with everyone else.

She watched everyone leave with a look of despair, muttering, "Hideomi, why did you do that..." If it weren't for the fact that Ze Yu had already left, he would have given Miss Hinata a thumbs up for her acting skills when he saw her appearance.

By the way, in the Conan world, even passers-by have great acting skills.

It's like there are movie kings and movie queens running everywhere. If you just pick someone, have him stand on a building and throw a brick down, he will hit a bunch of them.

.........

On the other side, everyone rushed to the room downstairs and stood in front of the door, only to find that the door of the room had been locked.

"Damn it, what's going on? Who locked the door?" Uncle Maori shook the door, but it didn't work.

"I'll go outside with the guard to take a look!" Hattori Heiji said and ran down the stairs.

"what!"

In the villa, Nagato Mitsuaki's screams were heard again, but this time, his screams were particularly loud and heart-wrenching.

"Guangming, what's wrong with you?"

Miss Kang Jiang knocked on the door hard and called her husband's name worriedly.

"excuse me."

Ze Yu gently pushed Miss Kang Jiang away, then kicked the door. With a bang, the door was kicked open by him.

However, Ze Yu restrained his strength, and the door was not broken by him, only the door lock was broken, and he could just replace it later.

The situation was urgent and no one was in the mood to sigh at how strong Ze Yu was, as he kicked open the locked door with one foot. Instead, everyone rushed to the balcony of the room.

The balcony door was opened, and everyone looked down and was surprised to find...

Nagato Mitsuaki is dead.

There is a circle of sharp guardrails around the villa, which was originally designed to prevent thieves. But now, Nagato Mitsuaki fell on the guardrail and was pierced through the chest by the sharp steel guardrail.

It was obvious that he was dead.

.........

Moments later, the police arrived at the scene.

Nagato Mitsuki's body was placed on the ground. Officer Megure squatted on the ground, looking at his body, and said, "Was he pushed off the balcony and then pierced by the guardrail?"

"According to your eyewitness testimony, the murderer is Mr. Nagato's son, Nagato Hideomi?" Officer Megure stood up and asked.

"That's not the case!" Miss Hyuga said righteously, "The murderer can't possibly be Mr. Hideomi!"

"I think there must be other reasons for this matter..."

"No matter what the reason is, you can't kill my light!" Miss Kang Jiang said in great sorrow, covering her face with tears streaming down her face.

At this time, Huiyuan Ai ran over, her face was a little pale, and she said to everyone: "Mr. Hideomi is indeed not the murderer, because he has been dead for a long time."

"What?!" Everyone was shocked.

"I've found his body." Huiyuan Ai said seriously, "It's in the fountain."

That’s right, Ze Yu just told her to drain the water in the fountain. After all the water was drained, she was surprised to find...

Hideomi's body was lying in the fountain.

Although Hideomi's face has been wrapped in bandages since he appeared, Haibara Ai doesn't know his true appearance, but she is absolutely sure that the corpse lying at the bottom of the fountain is Nagato Hideomi, absolutely.
