In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 129 Falling asleep after drinking coffee, it must be...

As soon as he finished speaking, Conan felt raindrops hitting the back of his hand. Soon after, it started pouring rain. So, just like Akutagawa Hiko, he pulled his coat over his head and started hurrying back.

Trusting in the two men's fighting abilities, Conan and Akutagawa ventured deep into the grove, but were the fastest to run back.

As soon as I stepped out of the woods, I saw a figure lying motionless on the fountain in front of the gate, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep like a baby.

Conan's heart tightened at the sight. He took a few steps and ran to the fountain. With just a gentle push, the handsome man who was confident that he would become the future husband of Shibin Lihua and the president of Shibin Group fell to the ground.

Before long, everyone except the missing Yotsuji Reika gathered around the fountain.

Takuya Mifune tried to revive Yuji Nikaido, who was already dead, but was stopped by Tooru Amuro, who couldn't stand it anymore: "It's no use, this person is obviously dead."

Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin and analyzed, "He drowned, and judging from the way it looks, the murderer probably forced him to sit next to the fountain and pushed him in."

Amuro Tooru expressed his approval.

Although this former policeman is always a bit absent-minded, he hasn't lost his professional skills as long as he doesn't fall into the kind of state described in the newspapers.

"How—how is this possible?!"

"Yes, Nikaido was clearly still alive just now."

Akutagawa Hiko nodded to the murderer who was feigning ignorance and said, "That's right. It seems he was brutally murdered just now, when we split up to search for Ms. Yotsuji."

It wasn't until Ran and Sonoko spoke that Akutagawa Hiko realized what had been bothering him earlier: the lack of a scream duet.

When Conan ran into the house to check on the safety of those left behind and asked if anyone had seen the murderer commit the crime, he had already told them that someone had died.

Furthermore, compared to the storms and waves they had seen before, this drowned person, while not particularly peaceful, was certainly not terrifying.

So although they were still terrified by the dead and saddened by the loss of life, they did not scream.

"Who on earth would do such a thing?"

"Yes, that's terrifying!"

Takuya Mifune, with his hair tied in a ponytail, analyzed in a pretentious manner: "Right now, there is one person among us who is the most suspicious, and that is Miss Reika, whose whereabouts are currently unknown."

To be honest, some people actually believe his speculation. As witnesses to what happened two years ago, they know more or less what happened back then.

As someone who was rescued along with Yotsuba Reika, Nikaido Yuuji knows more details and may have leverage over Yotsuba Reika. It's not impossible that she might want to kill Nikaido to silence him.

"How could this be?! How could Miss Lihua do such a thing?!"

Granny Nanao spoke up in rebuttal, saying that as someone who had always taken care of Yotsuba Reika, she knew Yotsuba Reika's character very well, and that she would never do something like killing someone with her own hands.

Nanao Mi didn't notice the strange look and expression on Ichiji Takashi's face when she defended Yotsuhisa Yotsuhisa, and Ichiji Takashi also didn't notice the knowing gaze of the public security officer and the true detective who was following Akutagawa Hiko's gaze.

This person is suspicious!

"So, what do you think, great detective?"

Instead of answering the question, Akutagawa Hiko cast an encouraging glance at Amuro Tooru.

The "incident constitution" is rather peculiar; it seems to have a particular fondness for true detectives, and the main characters who are close to Conan...

It seems there are some to varying degrees.

Akutagawa Hiko really hoped that Amuro Tooru could also obtain this magical constitution, so that Amuro Tooru could drive around in the wind. Although Conan would also find it very useful, if more people had this kind of constitution, Amuro Tooru would be the one who would benefit the most.

Amuro Tooru let out a soft breath. His observation and reasoning abilities were actually top-notch, and he could certainly become a detective, but he might just be lukewarm because he lacked the talent to handle many cases.

The man, who looked like he was of mixed race, began to analyze: "Miss Yoshino, a pampered young lady, probably couldn't have drowned a grown man. It's more likely that the missing Miss Yoshino has already died somewhere unknown."

Hard to say.

Sonoko Suzuki glanced subconsciously at Ran, who was holding her hand; Ran was someone most men could resist.

However, I haven't heard of any special talent that Yotsuji Reika possesses in this regard.

Kogoro Mouri took off his coat and covered Nikaido's face: "In short, we should call the police right now."

Ran Mouri raised her hand: "There's no cell phone signal here."

She and Sonoko had already tried calling the police, but unfortunately there was no signal on the mountain.

Nanao Mi led everyone back into the house: "There's a landline phone in the house—"

Unfortunately, the phone call couldn't get through at all.

"Could it be that the murderer gave—"

Akutagawa Hiko nodded: "That's probably it. The killer is trying to trap us here."

Amuro Tooru thought about the car he was driving, and vented all his resentment from the last tire blowout on the culprit this time: "Looks like a classic locked-room mystery."

The most experienced of them all, Rokuda Masashi, suggested, "To prevent us from being attacked by the assailant, let's not sleep tonight. Auntie Mi, could you please make some coffee?"

Grandma Mi nodded: "No problem."

Ran and Sonoko, who had changed their clothes, offered to help, but Takuya Mifune not only disregarded Reika Yotsuhisa, but also left without saying a word.

"Mifune, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the restroom."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ichiji Takashi and Gojo Osamu immediately followed, looking like they had been holding back for a while.

Seeing that everyone's clothes were more or less wet from the rain, Rokuda Shoji suggested, "I'll go get some towels." He then thanked Kogoro Mouri, the only one who had lost his coat, right by the sink.

Conan casually complimented, "Uncle Rokuta, you're amazing! You know this place so well."

"Because our group often gathers here."

A short while later, after the three who had gone to the restroom and Rokuda Shoji who had gotten a towel returned, the three of them also came back to the living room with their coffee.

Even if one person dies and another goes missing, there are still quite a few people.

Akutagawa Hiko remembers that while Granny Mi and Ran were looking for sugar, Ichiji Takashi randomly put sleeping pills into the coffee.

Now there's one more person in the kitchen, and so many more cups of coffee. I wonder if Xiaolan got the one with the spiked coffee.

Akutagawa Hiko felt that, given Ran's incredible luck, this possibility was probably very high.
