Chapter 435: The Murder Case at the Villa in the Deep Mountain - The Truth

The final Lumiru test results came out quickly. The items on the suspect's body did not show any blood reaction, which was an expected result.

As for the search for the murder weapon... Although the uncle's remarks were unreliable, Officer Henggou still ordered his men to conduct searches inside and outside the villa.

Taking advantage of this time, Police Officer Henggou also sorted out the distribution of people at the time of the incident.

It goes through as follows:

Ten minutes before the incident, a group of people headed by Liuli, including a group of staff and uncles, including Conan Xiaolan, returned to the villa from outside.

In the corridor, everyone was chatting and laughing. As they were talking, Liuli accidentally discovered that it was snowing outside.

Yes, you read that right, it really snowed.

Okino was a little confused, he really didn't realize it was snowing outside.

'It's impossible. When Hongzi and I came back just now, it wasn't snowing outside. Could it be that it wasn't snowing on the left side of the villa, but snowing on the right?'

Out of curiosity, Okino walked to the window and looked outside.

'It's snowing here, so...' Okino's eyes slowly moved to the door, and then walked out.

Henggou and Uncle did not notice Okino's behavior.

‘Okino?’ Hongzi blinked and followed without thinking.

After leaving the door, he walked along the corridor to the end and looked out the window.

"Well, it's really not snowing here. It's really strange weather."

"What's wrong?"

Turning around, Hongzi came over.

"Oh, it's okay, it's just that the snow is a bit naughty."

"???"

Seeing Hongzi's dull eyes, Okino couldn't help laughing for a moment, and then there was silence for more than ten minutes.

Okino really wanted to stir up the topic, but he didn't know what to say at the moment. He couldn't just talk about studying. Hongzi wasn't a particularly talkative person either.

Now, when these two people meet together, it's really a game of 'Whoever speaks first loses'.

However, looking at Hongzi's side face, Okinawa thought: 'This feeling is pretty good.'

Gradually, snowflakes began to fall outside the window...

I don't know how long it took, but a childish scream broke the quiet atmosphere between the two.

Okino subconsciously looked back, "Hey, no one is there?"

Coincidentally, at this time, the door at the end of the corridor was opened from the inside, and the mirror on the door reflected Conan's shadow.

The scream just now was made by Conan.

"Conan?"

On the other side of the corridor, Conan was also stunned. Looking at Okino's figure in the mirror, he suddenly understood something.

"So, that's what happened!" The corners of Conan's mouth raised slightly, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"It seems that the murderer should be that person, but the murder weapon has not been found yet." While thinking, Conan returned to the room, came to the table where the evidence was placed, and thought to himself.

The search for the murder weapon has been going on for some time, and no trace of the murder weapon was found either in the forest outside the villa or in the room.

'If the murder weapon is really outside, it is impossible for the police not to find it, then it means that the murder weapon must be in this villa, but why was it not found?'

"It seems that we have encountered a problem. Do you need help?"

Hearing the sound, Conan quickly turned around and said, "Okino, why are you here?"

"You seem to be in trouble. Haven't you found the murderer yet?"

"No." Conan shook his head, "I already know who the murderer is, but I don't have any evidence yet."

"Where's the murder weapon?"

"The police did not find the murder weapon. I suspect that the murder weapon should still be in this villa, but how did that person hide the murder weapon?" Conan was puzzled.

Looking at the items on the table, Okino also frowned, "Logically speaking, it's not that easy to completely hide something like a knife. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless the murderer cut the knife into pieces and threw it into the toilet and flushed it away."

Conan half-squinted his eyes and responded feebly, "Can you be more serious?"

"Hey, just liven up the atmosphere a little, don't worry about it."

"Really."

"Hey, why are you two here?"

Okino: "Uncle?"

Conan: "Uncle?"

"By the way, uncle, how is the situation over there?"

The uncle held a cigarette in his mouth and waved his hand, "No progress has been made. Although the three people all had the motive to kill the victim, there is not enough evidence to prove this."

'Three people?' Okino narrowed his eyes, 'It seems that the uncle never regarded Miss Liuli as the murderer.'

Conan didn't speak either, because the murderer... wasn't Tamamiya Ruri.

"Then uncle, why are you here..."

"Well, let me take a look at the evidence, hoping to find some clues."

Seeing the uncle say these words with a serious face, Okino was really a little surprised. Why did the uncle handle the case so seriously? Could it be because...

At this time, the uncle walked to the table where the evidence was placed, and conducted a detailed and rigorous inspection of the evidence. He carefully inspected the evidence with the idea that he would never let it go if it could be taken apart.

"Pen, sewing kit, handkerchief, wallet, lighter..."

"Hey, hey, lighter."

'Huh? The uncle's expression changed. Could it be that he discovered something?'

Conan's attention was also focused on the uncle, but...

The uncle was not checking the evidence at all, but was lighting a cigarette with a lighter!

Snapped!

Okino couldn't stand it anymore. This uncle was indeed the same uncle as before, so unruly.

'Forget it, it really doesn't work, I can only cheat and look for the murder weapon.'

And just a second before Okino was about to cheat, the uncle looked blankly at the lighter in his hand, and then his surprise slowly turned into seriousness.

At the same time, Conan's lenses also flashed with a white light.

'I see, I finally know how the murderer hid the murder weapon. It turns out there is another trick that I didn't think of.'

'In this case, it's time for the sleeping Kogoro to come on stage.' After thinking, Conan opened the cap of the anesthetic gun, aimed at the neck of the uncle who was walking towards the door, and then...

Kaka...kaka...

"Eh???"

'Oops! There's no anesthesia needle left!'

Conan then remembered that the sleeping Kogoro had already appeared once in order to slap Mr. Kazama in the face, and now his tranquilizer gun had no ammunition.

'Oops, we're in trouble now!' Conan quickly calmed down, 'It seems that we can only use hints to let uncle know who the murderer is.'

"uncle..."

Before the word "uncle" could be uttered, Conan suddenly froze, then looked at Okino suddenly and said excitedly.

"Okino, you have to help me this time, I've run out of anesthesia needles." At this point, Conan's eyes moved to Anko without any trace.

When he thought of Okino's words before, the corners of Conan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

‘How many people has this guy Okino told about his identity!!!’

"Anesthetic needle? You mean... you know?" Okino asked tentatively.

"Yeah, I already know what the murder weapon is, and how the murderer took it apart and hid it in an inconspicuous object."

"So, you need me to... take care of the uncle?" Okino also understood, this is to make him sap the uncle.

"Yes, don't you know how to hypnotize me? Help me once and help me hypnotize this uncle!"
