Chapter 258 What could happen? Blast it again

Ling Cheng pretended to cough, attracting Conan's attention. Ling Cheng raised his hand and hooked Conan's shoulder, suppressing his pride and asking:

"Do you know who the murderer is?"

Conan pinched his chin again and thought about his reasoning, but he didn't have accurate evidence yet, and there were still too many things he didn't know.

Ling Cheng: "Huh, I think I know."

Conan: "Is this true?"

Conan couldn't hold back his voice for a moment, and his sudden loud question attracted everyone's attention. Ling Cheng hurriedly covered for him.

Ling Cheng: "Of course it's true. I'll treat you to a delicious meal when we get back."

Mao Lilan: "So that's how it is, Conan, keep your voice down, everyone is very nervous."

Conan agreed with a strong smile, then pulled Ling Cheng out.

"Is this true? Who is the murderer? How do you know?"

In response to Conan's overly anxious questioning, Ling Cheng wanted to tease him.

"After knowing this technique, don't you still have any clue?"

Conan: "If this is the method they used, then they could have done it during the day, but there is no accurate evidence pointing to any one person."

Ling Cheng shook his finger at Conan.

"No, isn't it important for this technique that someone see the car drive off the cliff?"

Conan: "Yes, you mean..."

Ling Cheng: "Excluding us, aren't those two the only ones waiting in the living room?"

"This tactic requires eyewitnesses. They create the illusion that the murderer has just committed a crime, hoping to make us his alibi."

Before Conan could respond, everyone inside ran out, interrupting Ling Cheng and Conan's conversation, and a group of people rushed to the bathroom.

Kogoro Mouri banged on the bathroom door loudly and kept calling Miss Lingzi's name, anxiously thinking that something had happened to her.

As a result, Lingzi came out of the toilet and complained dissatisfiedly.

"What are you doing? It's so noisy. A large group of people gathered outside the toilet. How rude!"

Maori Kogoro explained:

"Don't get me wrong, we're worried about your safety."

Upon hearing this, the few people who were anxious just now felt embarrassed, but after a while they immediately started asking who the murderer was.

As a result, Oki Lingzi put on an embarrassed smile,

"Well, it seems I made a mistake in that matter."

"what?"

Oki Lingzi: "I'm sorry."

After saying that, Lingzi turned and left. A group of people looked at her back, and Kogoro Mouri's expression became speechless.

"Really? She's really just pretending."

Why did her attitude change 180 degrees? Conan looked at the direction she left, puzzled, and Ling Cheng laughed.

"What are you wondering about? Isn't it obvious? For example, the murderer told her that as long as she didn't reveal herself, he would give her some benefits."

Conan: "That's indeed a possibility."

"So she really does know something."

Conan: "Well, she must know something. I'll go back later..."

Conan was speaking when Ling Cheng pinched his arm and he stopped abruptly. He then realized that the person who had just spoken was not Ling Cheng, but Hattori Heiji who had appeared next to him out of nowhere.

Conan: When did this guy appear...

Hattori Heiji noticed that Conan had stopped and turned his head to look over.

"Go on, what are you going to do when you get back?"

Conan: "After we go back, after that... drink a glass of milk, I'm so sleepy, hahaha!"

Ling Cheng:......

Conan grabbed Ling Cheng and ran away, as if Hattori Heiji was some kind of monster.

Hattori Heiji followed behind, but his guess became more and more certain.

There is definitely something wrong with this guy!

They returned to the room and looked around, only to find that Miss Lingzi was not in the room.

Conan: "Where's Miss Lingzi?"

"Miss Lingzi, she said she wanted to go out for a walk."

Kogoro Mouri turned his head and explained in a bad mood. Ran Mouri said with a worried look on her face that she had tried to stop her, but Miss Lingzi said that there would be no more murders.

Even her boyfriend said that the suspects are here and nothing will happen.

Ling Cheng put his hand on Conan's shoulder, leaned close to him and said in his ear:

"General, it looks like she's going to die too."

Conan suddenly realized that according to Ling Cheng, Miss Lingzi was definitely in danger now!

But what followed was a loud explosion and a bright light at the window.

Conan pulled Ling Cheng and rushed out, followed closely by Hattori Heiji and the others. When they ran out of the door, they saw a raging fire in the garage.

Toba was about to rush into the fire while shouting Lingzi's name, but was stopped by Maori Kogoro and could only roar at the top of his lungs.

Mr. Fujisawa on the side cried out:

"Please, put out the fire, or the book will!"

These remarks caught the attention of Conan and Hattori Heiji, but he did not continue speaking, as if he realized that he had said something wrong and stopped.

Ling Cheng stared at him directly. After the fire was put out, everyone entered the garage to look for Miss Lingzi, while Ling Cheng's eyes followed the panicked Mr. Fujisawa.

He walked in and opened the car door directly, then screamed and backed away, attracting Kogoro Mouri and others, who saw Miss Lingzi's body.

Ling Cheng came over and told Conan all this. Conan nodded and pinched his chin to think. Combined with what Ling Cheng provided him, he felt that his thoughts were generally much clearer.

As for the missing evidence mentioned by Ling Cheng, he will fill it in.

"Ah, great, it's much easier to reason with you, just like Watson."

Ling Cheng: "Do I need to tell you that you're like Sherlock Holmes?"

Conan: "That's not what I meant. Ahem, no."

Ling Cheng: Hehe, too lazy to criticize.

Judging from her clothes and figure, Kogoro Mouri told everyone that the deceased was probably Miss Lingzi.

Everyone started whispering. They were all together just now, so how did the murderer do it?

The flat-headed brother Kawazu suggested that the murderer might be the hotel owner, what if the hotel owner was not dead?

Ling Cheng: Awesome.

Hattori Heiji: "Impossible, the person in the car is the hotel owner, I have confirmed it."

Conan: "Yes, I saw it too, Ling Cheng, right?"

Ling Cheng: "Yes, the boss in the car is already dead and there is no way he can be resurrected unless the murderer can lure the corpse."

At this time, Toba immediately spoke up to refute,

"Then tell me, who did this? Lingzi was murdered to silence her."

Seeing him like this, Ling Cheng became unhappy and yelled back with his hands on his hips.

"You're so proud of yourself for yelling! I told you it was you who did it. Why are you pretending to be so hypocritical now? Why didn't you just work with her in the first place?"

"you!"

Toba was furious, but was stopped by Kawazu to smooth things over. Ling Cheng made a face at him.

Conan blocked Ling Cheng to prevent him from saying anything that would anger him.

"Yeah, that's right. I think my child is right."

Lingshi appeared at the door yawning, obviously woken up by the explosion.

Seeing this, Ling Cheng simply ran over to give the change, looking like a powerful backer, and Maori Kogoro quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Anyway, it's confirmed that it's not one of us. Let's go back to the room and rest. We'll talk after dawn."
