Vol 20 Chapter 155: Sudden power outage

"Who are you talking about?"

"It's the one that turns around you every time..." Hattori Heiji pointed to Xie Chen who was eavesdropping nearby, "He, that's him."

"Xie Chen?" Mao Lilan touched his chin with his fingertips and said, "When it comes to him, he seems to be away every time."

"Really?" Hattori Heiji seemed to have discovered something.

Xie Chen waved his hand in a hurry, while Mao Lilan smiled and said, "But he often walked out from behind my father to help him explain the reasoning."

"From behind him?" Hattori Heiji looked at Xie Chen, and said with a ugly smile: "Come out from behind him to help."

Xie Chen scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Because I like to play detective games..."

As soon as the voice fell, all the lights on the ceiling went out in vain, and the room plunged into darkness.

"power cut!"

"Is it because of thunder?"

"No," Hitomi Iwai said loudly, "It's just that the fuse is blown."

Kogoro Mouri said, "Hurry up and find the toolbox."

"Damn it." Tosawa Fujisawa lit the lighter. "There will be a power outage at this time."

He took a burning lighter and walked to Hitomi Iwai. "Miss Iwai, use this lighting."

Although the hotel lobby uses floor-to-ceiling windows, the moonlight is faint and cannot shine in at all. In the darkness, only the light of the lighter is slowly moving, like a fire.

As the fire approached the corridor, suddenly, Fujisawa Toshiaki let out a scream, the scream was breathtaking, and the light of the lighter went out. Then, there was a "slap", the sound of a window cracking.

"What's the matter?" Kogoro Moori shouted loudly, "What the **** is going on?"

"What sound is this?"

"It's glass!"

"Iwai Hitomi, turn on the light!"

Hitomi Iwai pulled the switch, the light was shining, Fujisawa Toshiaki's right arm was inserted with a crushed ice cone, and he fell to the ground and wailed.

"Mr. Fujisawa! Why?"

"Dad." Mao Lilan called: "Look, the window is broken."

"Damn it." Mouri Kogoro looked at the heavy rain outside the house and said angrily: "Even broken the window and escaped!"

Also watching the heavy rain outside the house, the corners of Xie Chen and Hattori Heiji's mouth slowly raised, and they both believed that the murderer was still in the room.

Hitomi Iwai asked Fujisawa Toshiaki's wound while dressing up, "Who is it?"

Kogoro Mouri said, "It's the innkeeper. The innkeeper who was killed in the first murder was hiding in a corner of this house."

He said sternly: "After Ms. Ling Zi was burned to death in the garage, now he attacked Mr. Fujisawa with a broken ice cone, and then broke the window and escaped."

"Damn..." Toshiaki Fujisawa clutched the wound on his arm and gritted his teeth and said, "Why did the boss trick me? When he wanted to publish a book, I also helped him."

"Book?" Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion.

Fujisawa Toshiaki looked up and said, "It's the Sherlock Holmes book he published at his own expense last year. I remember the title of the book was Irene Adler's mockery."

Xie Chen frowned slightly. In his memory, Irene Adler was the only woman Sherlock Holmes had ever loved.

In Conan Doyle's novels, Holmes' feelings for Irene Adler are restrained liking, calm analysis, and rational thinking.

Irene Adler is the only person who makes Holmes gender-conscious. Holmes is genderless when facing a series of people such as Watson, Jasmine, the landlord, or Jin.

But Irene Adler gave the great detective to a certain extent the feelings of a mortal.

Kogoro Mouri had never heard of Irene Adler, so he said to Mouriran: "Well, Xiaolan, hurry up and chase the boss who escaped through the window, hurry up."

Mao Lilan nodded and ran out of the window with her father.

"It's useless." Hattori Heiji said suddenly: "Forget it."

"En?" Mouri Kogoro stopped at the window.

Hattori Heiji said, "No matter how you look outside now, you will never find a murderer."

"What did you say?" Mouri Kogoro said.

Hattori Heiji walked to the table and said: "Look at these chairs carefully, how unnatural they look. It is evidence that the murderer panicked and put them back in place after breaking the window. Do you understand."

Xie Chen also said, "It is true, there are shards of glass inserted in the chair. The murderer must use this chair."

Hattori Heiji looked at Xie Chen in amazement. As a famous detective in Kansai, he actually thought of being with a child.

"But," said Kogoro Mouri, "this only proves that the murderer used a chair just now."

"Stupid." Hattori Heiji said, "It's a problem whether you can escape or not. Will someone push the chair back? It should be the murderer who knocked the chair with his hand when he broke the window."

Kogoro Mouri looked at Hattori Heiji with a full face, but couldn't refute it.

So Hattori Heiji continued: "Because the surroundings are too dark, there is no way to wipe off the fingerprints, so the murderer pushed the chair back under the table so that it would not attract attention."

He looked down at the chair and said: "And this way, he can secretly wipe off the fingerprints on the chair when the light is on."

"After the lights are on?" Lu Tian Xingzhi said, "Wait a minute, there were only a few of us in this room at that time."

"Yes." Hattori Heiji said: "In this way everyone should know that the boss is not the murderer, and the murderer is hiding among us!"

Everyone took a breath, you look at me, I look at you, and each took a step back.

"Miss Iwai." Mouri Kogoro said, "I remember when the power went out, you seemed to say that the fuse was broken."

"Yes." Hitomi Iwai nodded and said, "When I was about to plug in the coffee oven, the power went out with a sudden snap."

Afterwards, they all came to the kitchen. Iwai Hitomi pointed to the socket on the wall and said, "Look, this is the plug."

Hattori Heiji picked up the plug and said, "A thin wire is wound around the plug. As long as someone plugs this plug, it will cause a short circuit."

Kogoro Mouri took the plug and said, "But where did the murderer get this wire?"..
