Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 193: The Accidentally Exposed Hu Yanren

"Wait, Ms. Oki!"

Looking at Oki Ayako who was about to leave, Hattori wanted to say something, but she just walked out of the room without looking back.

only......

"Eh?!"

When she tried to open the door, she found that no matter what she did, she couldn't open it.

"The door won't open? Why?! Yanren, could it be that you did this too?!"

When Oki Ayako discovered that the door was locked by someone, the calm expression on her face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a look of panic.

The reason why she was so confident before was simply because she guessed from Tojuken's blank answer sheet that he was the one who killed the innkeeper and hid the first edition of the book.

Therefore, he wanted to use this handle to blackmail him and get the precious first edition book.

The main reason was that she was very confident that as Tojuken's girlfriend, he would not do anything to her.

However, when she found the door was locked, she panicked instantly. Why did he lock the door? Did he really want to kill her as well?

Considering the lighter he had pulled out when she was still in the garage, Ooki Ayako thought to herself that she was a little stupid. She actually thought that Tojukento wouldn't do anything to her! Don't forget, she was in the garage before too! If the lighter was ignited, she wouldn't be able to escape.

Of course, there is another possibility:

It wasn't Tojuken who murdered the store manager. He had misunderstood him. The reason his answer sheet was blank was for another reason. There was actually a real mastermind behind the whole thing.

However, no matter what the reason was for the door being locked, Oki Ayako's originally calm heart instantly became panicked.

In this mood, she couldn't even think calmly, and questioned Hu Shi without thinking.

Hearing Oki Ayako's question, Toju's heart completely sank. Wasn't it obvious that by saying this, she was telling everyone that he was the murderer of Mr. Kanaya?

Sure enough, after hearing what Oki Ayako said, the expressions of the other people around her changed instantly:

"Ms. Ohki, what did you say? The door was locked? Could it be the murderer? But why are you asking Mr. Toju... Wait, could it be that the murderer you mentioned before is this guy, Toju Kento?!"

At this time, the most impatient Fujisawa rushed up, grabbed Oki Ayako's collar and questioned her.

What a joke! He was almost killed by this murderer! If he hadn't heard the roar of a car nearby and looked over curiously, he would have probably been buried in the sea of ​​fire by now!

"Mr. Fujisawa! Let go first! And Ms. Oki, if you know anything, please tell me now."

Seeing this, Hattori hurried forward to stop him. Although he wanted to defeat Kudo Shinichi in this competition where he already had a lot of exclusive information, the truth was more important than winning or losing.

After being persuaded by Hattori, the anger in Fujisawa's mind finally subsided a little. He let go of Oki Ayako's hand and apologized to her:

"I'm sorry, Miss Oki, I was a little excited just now."

Although what he said was true, there was still deep anger hidden in his eyes.

Oki Ayako also noticed this, and now she didn't dare to hide it any further:

"Yes, according to my analysis, the person who killed Mr. Jingu was Tojuken. As for the evidence, you'll know it just by looking at his blank answer sheet.

When I went to discuss the questions on Hu Shi's answer sheet at noon, I found that he was not in the room. Moreover, his paper was blank; he hadn't answered a single question!

"So that's how it is. So, because you knew the innkeeper was dead, or knew he would die, you simply gave up answering the questions?"

Hearing this, the others nodded thoughtfully.

"What? Isn't this evidence the same as the evidence on the card? It can be solved by the criminal making a few excuses."

Thinking of this, Hattori rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Just when he was about to sit back and think about whether there might be any other evidence hidden in this case, he saw the man named Hu Juyanren kneel down directly?

That's right, just because of this piece of evidence that wasn't even circumstantial, he just knelt down? And started confessing?!

"No, buddy, you're a murderer. You killed someone and even prepared an alibi! How can you be so fragile?!"

If I had known you were so fragile, why would I have studied this case so carefully? Wouldn't it be enough to just use that card to trick you?

Looking at Tojuken kneeling on the ground and beginning to confess, telling about his motive for committing the crime, his method of murder, and his original plan to prove his alibi, Hattori felt extremely aggrieved.

But when he heard that Hu Juyan's motive for murder was actually a book published by his boss before, he felt very confused.

No, what the hell? Because the analysis in a book doesn't match your psychological expectations of your idol, you just kill him? And you even prepared for it so long in advance?

I can only say, you are worthy of being the Mihua people! You really have fun!

"But, even though I thought about killing that bastard Fujisawa, I didn't lock the door to the room! If I locked the door, wouldn't that mean I wouldn't be able to kill him?"

However, after completing his confession, Hu Juyanren did not forget to defend himself.

He's not that stupid! Only when everyone is free to act will he have the chance to kill Fujisawa, who is also involved in the book publishing.

But after locking the door, he lost this opportunity!

"You didn't lock the door?!"

After hearing what Tojuken said, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that there were other people hiding in this hotel?

"Ms. Iwai, are there any other residents around this hotel? In other words, are there any other guests in the hotel besides us?"

Thinking of this, Hattori asked Iwai.

Hearing this, Iwai was stunned, then shook his head:

"No? There are no other buildings nearby except this hotel. As for the guests, the owner has closed the hotel for a few days to prepare for this event. During these days, no one else has visited except you guests!"

After hearing what Iwai said, Hattori frowned.

If this is true, then who locked the door of this room and for what reason?
