Looks like? Conan and the other two half-detectives were slightly taken aback. Could it be that Yuu also suspected that Hara Ryaku was murdered?

But it is very clear in the video that Yuan Li Chong poured the poison into the water himself and drank the water himself. No one coerced him throughout the whole process.

No matter how you look at it, it's suicide.

Yuya touched his chin and looked at Uchito Tetsuto and asked, "What I'm more curious about is who is Uchito Joji mentioned in Mr. Harabe's suicide note, and what is his relationship with you, the director?"

Both of them have the surname Neidong, so no one would believe them if they said they had nothing to do with each other.

Uchito Tetsuto sighed slightly and said, "Uchito Chengzhi is my biological brother."

Miyako Ejiri said, "I mentioned him outside the villa. The president of the horror film research club we joined during college was Uchito Joji."

Uchito Tetsuto continued, "My brother died in very strange circumstances, so I think Hara Raki might have been affected by that incident."

Yuya asked curiously, "How did he die?"

The crew members looked at each other, as if the incident was indeed very strange. Several of them had expressions of fear on their faces. After hesitating for a while, they finally told the story.

Eight years ago, it was still these people, but the director was replaced by Uchito Shoji.

They came to this rented villa to shoot a movie to be broadcast at the school anniversary.

The club originally planned to shoot a zombie-themed horror movie, but the then-chairman Uchito Joji suddenly proposed to change the script, replacing the killers in the movie from zombies to humans, turning it into a suspense movie.

The club members all expressed their opposition. On the one hand, the school anniversary was approaching and there was not enough time to change the script. On the other hand, the photography props of the club at that time were borrowed by Uchito Chengzhi from his brother and they would be returned soon.

Faced with everyone's opposition, Naito Chengzhi insisted on his own way. In order to convince everyone, he planned to personally perform the scene in the original script where the body disappeared from the room.

Of course, since it’s a zombie movie, the script states that the dead people turn into zombies and escape from the room.

Uchito Chengzhi often comes up with strange ideas, but because they have produced many good works based on these ideas, everyone quickly accepted them after the initial surprise and decided to let him demonstrate to see if this idea is feasible.

Everyone was divided into several groups to guard the entrance and exit of the room. However, ten minutes later, when they entered the room, they found that Naito Chengzhi had really disappeared from the room and could not be found no matter how hard they looked.

They also searched the nearby woods but still couldn't find it.

After getting tired of looking for someone, they took Yuan Li Chong's car to the city to buy beer.

Later, He Ruilia caught a bad cold and stayed in bed for three days.

When they returned to the villa four days later, they were shocked to find that Uchito Chengzhi, who had disappeared, had returned to the room at some point. He was sitting on the ground with his hands on his knees, having starved to death.

At that time, Uchito Chengzhi tilted his head, as if to say to them: "You finally found me."

"Ah!" Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, and Kazuha Toyama turned pale and shuddered with fear.

Miyano Shiho lowered her half-moon eyes and said that she was worthy of being a horror movie director, and even when she was reminiscing, she would habitually add some horror elements into it.

You was speechless and kept complaining in his heart: These people are so cruel, they just left like that when they couldn’t find anyone?

Hattori Heiji thought the same thing and asked with drooping eyelids, "Then, how long had it been since your brother died?"

Uchito Tetsuto replied, "The police said he's been dead for about half a day."

"What's strange is that my brother's hands clearly have marks from scratching things, and his nails are almost peeling off, but there are no such marks in that room."

Hattori Heiji asked suspiciously, "Could it be that one of you killed Mr. Chengzhi and moved the body there?"

They were stunned for a moment, and Bei Shang Zhijiang angrily retorted, "How is that possible? Before the body was found, we went to Leah's house together to take care of her because she had a cold!"

He Ruilia said darkly, "That's true, but it's also because I have a collection of rare horror movie DVDs at home. They just eat, drink and have fun under the pretext of taking care of me."

Miyako Ejiri added, "And the only one among us who can drive is Hara Waki. But he was drunk every day during those few days and couldn't drive at all."

The only person who could drive was Hara Ryukyou, who was drunk, so no one else could drive to the villa in the mountains, so their alibi was valid.

At this moment, Hattori Heiji suddenly shouted, "What? Only Harawari-san can drive?"

Miyako Ejiri was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he was so excited, but she nodded anyway.

Yuya asked in confusion, "What did you think of?"

Hattori Heiji slapped his head and said distressedly, "This is troublesome. A murder has occurred but there is no way to find the police."

Yuanshan Heye asked doubtfully, "If you want to find the police, can't you just call them? Or you can just ride the motorcycle we brought here."

Hattori Heiji sighed: "I didn't pay attention when I set out. The motorcycle is already low on gas, and there's no cell phone signal here."

At this time, Miyano Shiho raised her hand and said, "I can drive."

Hattori Heiji looked over in surprise: "I almost forgot about this sister. Could you please call the police?"

Miyano Shiho did not agree immediately, but looked at Yuya.

Yuya looked at the sky outside and shook his head. "It's already dark. It's not safe to drive in the mountains at night. Let's wait until tomorrow."

Hattori Heiji glanced outside and said nothing more.

Conan tilted his head and asked Ejiri Miyako: "What happened to that movie?"

Miyako Ejiri said with some regret, "In the end, we didn't finish filming, and we don't know where the videos we already filmed are. Well, if we knew the whereabouts of those tapes, maybe we could unexpectedly solve the mystery of Hara Waki's suicide."

"Mystery, what mystery?" He Ruilia asked puzzledly.

Bei Shang Zhijiang also asked: "Gongzi, do you know something?"

Miyako Ejiri kept silent. "It's hard to say. Even if we want to talk about it, we'll have to wait until the police arrive." She paused, then added, "But it's also possible that I'm overthinking it."

Miyako Ejiri didn't want to say it, and no one could force her to say it, so they could only keep this question in their hearts.

As a result of this incident, the filming that was originally scheduled to take place after sunset could not continue.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Mao Lilan, Toyama Kazuha and Suzuki Sonoko decided to squeeze into one room, and they also asked Miyano Shiho, who didn't seem afraid at all, to help give them courage.

Anyway, the four girls are all thin and frail, so the worst that can happen is that they push the beds together at night to make a big bed.

Sera Masumi was unfortunately squeezed out and left alone in a room. She didn't feel scared at all.

Yuya, Conan and Hattori Heiji share a room.
