Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

"It doesn't seem to be in Mr. Shoji's room either." After the little episode just now, Kogoro Mouri continued to search Shoji Hatamoto's room.

"Excuse me, is this the box where Uncle Shoji keeps his kitchen knives?" Conan found the box placed in the corner and asked the butler Suzuki.

"What!?" As soon as Kogoro Mouri heard Conan's words, he took the box from Conan impatiently and prepared to check the items inside without even waiting for Butler Suzuki's confirmation.

Kogoro Mouri took the box and put it on the bed. After opening the box, he found that two kitchen knives were missing.

"Two are missing?" Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.

"What's wrong? Is there something going on?" Xiaolan obviously didn't understand what the loss of two swords meant.

"Well, one was found when Mr. Ichiro was stabbed, but the other one is missing." Maori Kogoro further explained to Xiaolan.

Conan looked at the two missing kitchen knives and seemed to have remembered the strange sound he had heard on the deck before. In this way, Mr. Hatamoto Ryuo was simply unlucky and saw something he shouldn't have seen.

This was the only thing they found in Mr. Shoji Hatamoto's room. There was nothing else special to discover, so Kogoro Mori led everyone to the next room.

This time, Xiaolan took the lead and walked in front. After pushing open the door, she saw an easel in the room with a sketch on it.

"This should be Mr. Ichiro's room!" Xiaolan said in an affirmative tone. Seeing the easel, she couldn't think of a second possibility except Ichiro Hatamoto.

"Look, there's a picture album here."

After Xiaolan finished speaking, she went to look at the sketches drawn by Ichiro Hatamoto. At this time, Kogoro Mouri and Conan followed closely and entered the room.

"We have to be extra careful. Mr. Xiaowu, who is holding a weapon, may be hiding somewhere." Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but remind her when he saw the unsuspecting Xiaolan entering the room so clumsily.

Before checking the number of missing kitchen knives in Shoji Hatamoto's room, Kogoro Mouri was still in a relatively relaxed state, but since he saw that there was still a kitchen knife in the murderer's hand, Kogoro Mouri became cautious.

At this time, Kogoro Mouri also began to believe that Xiaowu was the murderer, because he had observed the other people and they did not seem to be carrying any weapons.

So after going around in circles, Kogoro Mouri finally found the right path and once again narrowed the suspect back to Xiaowu.

"Wow, this is a really nice painting!" Xiaolan turned a deaf ear to what Kogoro Mouri was saying and continued to admire Ichiro Hatamoto's paintings.

"Conan, maybe you'll draw the situation where the murder happened." Xiaolan turned her head and said to Conan excitedly.

"Hehehehe~" Xiaolan's words made Conan laugh. With Xiaolan's imagination, she has no chance of being a detective, but her wild imagination is suitable for being a novelist.

"It's impossible!" Conan already had some ideas about the murderer's identity, but some things were still not very clear to him.

Look, the last painting that Xiaolan stopped at was a sketch of Hatamoto Natsue on the deck, looking sad.

Judging from the structure and character relationships of the painting, the focus and protagonist of the painting are obviously Miss Hatamoto Natsue. A flash of electricity suddenly passed through Conan's mind.

"Could it be that... there is this motive?" Conan thought to himself, considering the previous situation of Ichiro Hatamoto's parents and Gozo Hatamoto's attitude.

Conan is really worthy of his name. He slowly restored the truth from some clues, which made Conan further confirm his previous thoughts.

"You can take a look, but don't damage other people's things." While searching, Kogoro Mouri turned back to remind Xiaolan who was already overly excited.

"Okay!" Xiaolan responded to Maori Kogoro very tactfully. At the same time, Conan noticed Hatamoto Ichiro's painting tools, picked them up and began to look at them.

"It doesn't seem to be here." After seeing that Kogoro Mouri had checked around and found nothing, Butler Suzuki said to Kogoro Mouri while preparing to turn the door handle.

"It seems so." Kogoro Mouri said disappointedly.

"Sister Xiaolan, what is this?" Conan asked Xiaolan while picking up the painting pen.

"This is a pencil for drawing." Xiaolan explained to Conan patiently.

"Then what is this?" Conan handed Xiaolan another small ball of dirty thing and asked.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why don't you leave quickly?" Kogoro Mouri and Butler Suzuki both walked out of the room. When they saw Xiaolan and Conan still lingering in the room, their mood suddenly became bad. They turned around and yelled at the two of them.

"Okay." Xiaolan first responded to Kogoro Mouri, then bent down and answered Conan.

"This is called an eraser."

"Eraser?" Conan responded in a nonsensical way.

What? Didn't Hawaii explain this? There's something Conan doesn't know, touching on Conan's blind spots?

"It's not in our room, nor in Xia Jiang's room. Now the only room left is Miss Qiu Jiang's room." Maori Kogoro murmured.

"Seeing he really wasn't on the boat anymore."

On the other side, Conan somehow had an idea and moved a chair and opened the wardrobe in the room.

"Ah..." Conan yelled unexpectedly, and then closed the wardrobe door. It was obvious that Conan had discovered Xiao Wu hiding in the wardrobe.

As expected, the only way to find someone hiding in the room is to look in the wardrobe. Kogoro Mouri searched under the bed, in the bathroom, and in the bathtub, but none of them worked. At the critical moment, he still had to look in the wardrobe.

"What did you find?" Conan's movement attracted Mouri Kogoro, so Mouri Kogoro came to Conan.

"No... no... no!" Conan stammered and denied it three times in a row. Conan turned around and closed the door, helping Xiao Wu cover up.

Conan had clearly discovered Xiao Wu, but he pretended not to know and even helped to cover it up. What's even more outrageous is that even though Conan's reaction was obviously abnormal, Mouri Kogoro didn't investigate further.

He neither opened the door to verify, nor hit Conan with his iron fist as usual to teach him a lesson not to shout. Instead, he just walked away calmly. This was very abnormal.

"Forget it, there's no other way. I have to go back to the restaurant first." It seems that Kogoro Mouri has voluntarily given up searching for Xiaowu.
