Stay away from Conan

Watching Xiao Ai walk back to the room, Gao Yuan sighed slightly. Thinking back now, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed that his somewhat pretentious mood was exposed in front of Xiao Ai just now.

So he couldn't help but watch Xiao Ai walk back to the room, but Gao Yuan didn't follow her immediately. He still stayed alone on the balcony, as if he still wanted to continue thinking.

In response, Xiao Ai looked back at Gao Yuan who did not move, and did not make any unnecessary movements. He turned back and said lightly:

"I slept."

After that, Xiao Ai walked back to the bedroom door, pushed the door open and entered, then closed the door behind her back.

Seeing this, and for some unknown reason, Gao Yuan seemed to be relieved. Then he looked at the sea view outside the balcony with sadness, and thought about the events that happened at the seaside in the past two days. I wonder if the three incidents were actually true in the end. Gao Yuan sighed silently, then walked back to the room, leaned on the sofa in the living room, quietly, and closed his eyes——

There are no clues, so let’s rest first...

——Looking through the crack in the door into the living room where the night light was still on, Gao Yuan sat on the sofa and closed his eyes. Xiao Ai silently closed the door tightly.

--but……

We have to rule out all possibilities...

However, even if I close my eyes, Gaoyuan's thoughts still can't stop——

Michowaki Masahiko met Xiaolan and others at noon yesterday, and used the means of chatting up Sonoko to stay with Xiaolan and others.

Therefore, during the time that he, Xiaolan and others were together, his whereabouts were certain, and there was no chance of him doing anything wrong.

Then, the only possible problem is the four points where Masahiko Michowaki, Xiaolan and the others were briefly separated for only about ten minutes.

The first time was after six o'clock in the evening. When Masahiko Michowaki took Xiaolan and others to the open-air restaurant of the Izu Princess Hotel to dine, Masahiko Michowaki left for about ten minutes on the excuse of going to the toilet.

The second time, around seven o'clock, Michowaki Masahiko drove Xiaolan and others to the venue of the fireworks display, and they were separated for about ten minutes on the excuse of parking.

The third time, around 8:40, Michowaki Masahiko separated again for about ten minutes on the grounds that he had to queue up to buy takoyaki for Sonoko.

The fourth time, around 11 p.m., when he and others returned to the Izu Princess Hotel in Michowaki Masahiko's car, Michowaki Masahiko once again asked him and others to get out of the car on the pretext of parking. , and he left for about ten minutes because of parking.

Of the four brief separations, two of them were due to parking. Since the location of his parking was determined, the time he could spend parking could indeed be estimated. The ten minutes it took was indeed understandable.

So, what is suspicious is the time when I left the outdoor restaurant in the middle of eating, and the so-called time of queuing up to buy takoyaki during the fireworks display...

Looking at it this way, if Masahiko Michowaki is really the murderer, then it seems that these are the only two times he can use.

But what should be done so that Masahiko Michowaki can use these two time periods to complete the murder at the fireworks display...

Hey, wait a minute, if we only consider the relationship between these two times and the murder of the deceased, then if the information of the deceased is also included, it seems that there is a correlation!

Suddenly, Gao Yuan opened his eyes, stood up from the sofa, and looked at the empty living room with the night light still on. Gao Yuan quickly sat back, thinking solemnly——

yes!

It's the Izu Princess Hotel!

The deceased Chiharu Orimoto lived in this hotel, and the place where Michiowaki Masahiko separated from Xiaolan and the others for the first time was the open-air restaurant of this hotel!

Could it be that when he left at that time, he was looking for the deceased?

Through that period of time, Michowaki Masahiko found Chiharu Orimoto who was staying in the hotel, and then made an appointment with her to have her wait for him in the woods at the fireworks display at the time of the crime?

wrong……

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan shook his head helplessly——

Coming around again.

Even if there was prior communication, between six o'clock and nine o'clock, how could Masahiko Michowaki guarantee that the deceased would arrive as scheduled?

What should we do if Chiharu Orimoto arrives early and finds Masahiko Michowaki and Sonoko together?

Moreover, if Chiharu Orimoto can be asked out by Masahiko Michowaki in this way, then it is obvious that Masahiko Michowaki has been in contact with Chiharu Orimoto before.

In this case, he has obviously made it clear that he wants to take action against Orimoto Chiharu, so why did Michowaki Masahiko choose to chat with Sonoko before he succeeded?

When he struck up a conversation with two brown-haired women at the same time, was he really that confident that he could handle these two aspects of interpersonal relationships?

Or is Orimoto Chiharu and Michowaki Masahiko simply old acquaintances?

But even so, if he strikes up a conversation with a passerby before completing an incident, will this have any benefit to his actions?

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but hold his forehead and smiled helplessly -

benefit……

Isn’t this already there?

Precisely because he struck up a conversation with Yuanzi yesterday and spent most of the time with Yuanzi and the others, his whereabouts are very clear, and basically there is no chance for him to commit a crime.

At the same time, it was also because he was with Sonoko at the time, which made me think that his behavior of chatting up two women at the same time was unlikely. After all, many things were done at the expense of the other, especially since Masahiko Michowaki spent a lot of time before the incident. For Sonoko, it would be difficult for him to take care of Orimoto Chiharu at the same time——

Why would Orimoto Chiharu listen to him and obediently wait at the crime scene?

And this seems to be one of the benefits of Michowaki Masahiko striking up a conversation with Sonoko.

If Masahiko Michowaki was focused on Chiharu Orimoto before the incident, then it would be natural that Masahiko Michowaki would be suspected by the police as long as someone saw them acting together after the incident.

On the contrary, it would be like now. If the characteristics of the brown-haired female victim were not too obvious, which reminded Gao Yuan of the plot of the original work, otherwise no one would really target Masahiko Michowaki in this way when solving the case. The first discoverer...

And speaking of the first discoverer...

Tokio Ehara, Sonoko, and Masahiko Michowaki were the three people who happened to find the dead in the woods when the fireworks were going off.

According to what was said at the time, when they first discovered the deceased, he was still breathing his last breath. It seemed that the murderer left the scene after committing the crime without confirming whether the deceased was dead.

But when the three of them discovered the deceased, he had lost too much blood and was unable to save himself. He soon died after the three called the police...

Um?

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan was suddenly stunned——

Yes, what's wrong with me? I'm too focused on Michowaki Masahiko, too concerned about the brown-haired deceased, and I didn't even carefully analyze the deceased's death!

I should have thought of it earlier——

Since the deceased did not die on the spot, then why did the deceased not leave any death message before his death?

With his abdomen stabbed like that, could the deceased really be completely unable to move at that time?

Thinking of this, just when Gao Yuan was thinking about contacting Henggou for enlightenment, the door to the bedroom opened at this moment——

I saw Xiao Ai walking out of the bedroom holding a blanket.

And when Xiao Ai saw that Gao Yuan was not asleep at this moment, but got up and was ready to take action...

Xiao Ai and Gao Yuan couldn't help but look at each other, each looking a little surprised.

But then, Xiao Ai walked to the sofa with a silent expression, put the blanket on the sofa, and said calmly:

"Tie Zhuyu was afraid that you would catch a cold sleeping outside, so I gave you a blanket..."

"Haiyuan! I want to hear your judgment on something!"

However, seeing Xiao Ai's appearance, Gao Yuan immediately asked Xiao Ai...
