Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

Kazami Yoshiki approached Maori Kogoro and mocked him: "It's useless. Judging from this uncle's level, he is still useless..."

Just as he said this, Maori Kogoro in front of him suddenly shuddered, staring at him with bulging eyes. He let out a long "Hmm..." and then closed his eyes. He staggered like a drunk, fell back two steps, and sat down on the chair next to the table. He put his hands on the back of the chair, drooped his head, and fell asleep. He was also startled.

"Really..." Conan sighed, sweating as he hid under the table behind his chair. Maori Kogoro's stupidity had also embarrassed him and Ran. So Conan used an anesthetic needle to knock him unconscious, intending to use the name "Sleeping Kogoro" to help him out.

"It appeared!" the assistant director shouted excitedly.

The director also stood up, staring at Maori Kogoro who was sitting on the chair with his head drooped, and shouted "Sleeping Kogoro!!"

"Mouri Kogoro's" voice rang out, "I'm really sorry, because this reasoning is so simple that it made me want to play a prank..."

"What?!" Kazami Yoshiki exclaimed in surprise.

"Mouri Kogoro" said calmly: "The key point is that the murderer didn't want to cover the body with a tablecloth, but was reluctant to use a black coat... He didn't want to use his favorite color, black... The murderer may have subconsciously worried that if he used an item of his favorite color at the crime scene, he might arouse suspicion... Please take a close look at the golf bag leaning against the fireplace..."

After a pause, "Mouri Kogoro" continued, "Was the only club in the bag with a black cover slightly taller than the others? The murderer originally wanted to use the club with a black cover, but then suddenly changed his mind and switched to the club with a white cover... And, if we look at the owner's preferences, judging by the uniform black furniture and curtains in this room, the murderer should be the one wearing a black velvet dress... Ruri, who plays the hostess!!"

Conan imitated Kogoro Mouri's voice and said this, then stretched out his foot wearing a foot-strengthening shoe and stepped hard on Kogoro Mouri's instep.

"Ouch!" Kogoro Mouri, who was in a coma, was suddenly stimulated strongly. He shuddered and woke up with a scream.

Conan held a bow-shaped voice changer in his hand and imitated Maori Kogoro's voice and finally said: "That's it."

Finally fully awake, Kogoro Mouri sat in the chair, looking around in shock, wondering why everyone in the room was staring at him.

Hahara Kasumi was the first to applaud, saying admiringly: "Great! He's truly worthy of being the famous detective, the sleeping Maori Kogoro!!"

"Ah?" Kogoro Mouri turned his head and looked at her blankly.

Nan Yunxiao, who plays the housekeeper, also praised: "It really hits the nail on the head!!"

The director, photographer, stage manager and other staff also cheered.

Yucheng Liuli smiled and said, "You really live up to your reputation, Kogoro!"

Maori Kogoro was completely confused, "Ah, really..."

At this time, Nanyun Nobuharu, who was lying on the ground pretending to be the deceased, also laughed and said, "Real detectives are indeed extraordinary. This is really an eye-opener..."

"..." Feng Jianliang turned his head and glared at him fiercely, stepped on his waist, and shouted: "There is no reason to move a corpse!!"

"Ouch!" Nanyun Nobuharu screamed in pain. Hahara Kasumi glared at Kazami Yoshiki and screamed: "What are you doing?!

Then she ran over to Nobuharu Nanyun, squatted down, and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Nobuharu?"

Kazami Yoshiki looked down at them and sneered, "Oh...Xiaxia, so after the screenwriter, your next target is this guy..."

"Ah?" Hahara Kasumi was stunned and turned her head suddenly to look at Kazami Yoshiki.

Kazami Yoshiki shrugged his shoulders and said sarcastically, "Oh, so this is a secret that hasn't been made public yet!"

Nanyun Nobuharu stared at Kazami Yoshiki with his eyes fixed, and heavy breathing came out from between his tightly clenched teeth.

Nan Yunxiao saw his son being insulted, and angrily rushed to Feng Jianlianghui, grabbed his collar, closed the distance between them, and said in a deep voice: "Hey, you'd better restrain yourself!"

Feng Jianlianghui ignored Nan Yunxiao's threat. He snorted and sneered, "You old man, how dare you speak to me like that? Pay attention to your own identity... I know you're having a tryst with a lover who's much older than you every night!"

"Huh?" Nan Yunxiao stared at him in astonishment, his face turning pale with horror. The hand that was grabbing his lapel suddenly lost its strength to hold on and let go.

Feng Jianlianghui straightened his clothes and sneered: "Although I still don't know who that woman is... but I already have some idea." After saying that, he tilted his head slightly and glanced at where Yucheng Liuli was standing.

Yucheng Liuli felt Fengjian Lianghui's malicious gaze and subconsciously frowned.

Conan saw all of this.

Feng Jianlianghui no longer paid attention to Nan Yunxiao who was in a daze in front of him. He snorted coldly, walked past him and headed for the door. When passing by the photographer, director and others, he glanced at them and sneered: "Hey, why are you looking at me like that? Aren't you afraid that this show can't go on? Humph, I'm in a very bad mood... I'm going to Li Xiang's room to take a nap and see if I can feel better. You guys can shoot some scenes without me first!" After that, he left alone without looking back.

What Kazami Yoshiki did made everyone in the room feel disgusted with him.

Maori Kogoro muttered: "Why are you so arrogant..."

Yucheng Liuli sighed softly and said, "He is the son of the president of a certain publishing house. That publishing house is the main sponsor of this play..."

Maori Kogoro suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder he knows so many inside information..."

Yucheng Liuli frowned slightly and said in a somewhat annoyed tone, "Well, the most difficult thing right now is that the character he plays is very popular and the ratings are very good... Actually, I didn't want to join this show with him as the protagonist, but the company said the ratings were good and they insisted that I must participate, so I reluctantly..."

Having said that, her face brightened and she said happily: "But I am still very happy to see Kogoro whom I haven't seen for a long time..." After that, she put her arm around Kogoro Mouri's arm and leaned her head on his shoulder affectionately.

The intimacy shown by Yucheng Liuli made Maori Xiaowu feel dizzy and lost, and he kept laughing foolishly.

After Kazami Yoshiki left, the director turned around and said, "Then let's take a 30-minute break and start again when everyone's in a better mood!!"

"Oh--" all the staff responded in unison.

·· ·······Request flowers····· ····

Because there was a thirty-minute break, Amashiro Ruri accompanied Mouri Kogoro and Conan to visit the villa.

They reached the corner of the corridor when the door of a room across the corridor opened with a click.

"Ah..." Yucheng Liuli suddenly screamed.

"Huh?" Several crew members were about to leave the room. Seeing Yucheng Liuli seemed very surprised, they couldn't help but ask: "What, what happened?"

Yucheng Liuli's body trembled slightly, and she turned her head to look at the window in the corridor. She took two quick steps to the window, raised her hand to touch the window glass, looked out the window with a hazy expression, and murmured: "Snow... Look, it's snowing!"

After hearing her words, everyone else walked to the window and looked up at the gray sky outside. They saw snowflakes like catkins falling from the sky, heralding the arrival of the first snow of winter.

Maori Kogoro said: "By the way, the weather forecast seems to say that it might snow today."

Yucheng Liuli turned to look at the crew members and suggested, "Everyone, how about we go outside to enjoy the snow together?"

A crew member said worriedly, "But the break is only five minutes away!"

Yucheng Liuli reached out and gently nudged the crew members, saying with a sweet smile, "What's the big deal? Five minutes is fine! It's the first snow!"

"That's right!" The crew members were moved and turned around to go downstairs first.

"Then let's go!" Yucheng Liuli stepped aside and let Maori and the other two follow the crew members to walk in front, while he walked at the end.

......... ......... .......

The first snow fluttered, and the white snowflakes, like jade butterflies, landed on the faces of people who came out to enjoy the snow. It melted in a moment, and the cool feeling was so comfortable that people wanted to cheer loudly.

Conan frowned and said: "Why don't I see Miss Liuli..."

Maori Kogoro looked around: "Huh? I thought she came out with us..."

As he was speaking, Yucheng Liuli's shrill scream came from the second floor of the villa: "Ahhh... Ahhh..."

The sharp screams startled the people who were watching the snow outside the building. They all turned around and looked up at the second floor of the villa, but they could not see what was happening upstairs.

"Ruri!" Kogoro Mouri threw the cigarette out of his mouth and rushed back to the villa, with Conan following closely behind.

“Ahhh…Ahhh…” Yucheng Liuli’s screams continued.

"Damn it!" Kogoro Mouri shouted and rushed to the second floor, towards the room where the sound came from.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

Maori Kogoro finally rushed to the front of the room, opened the door, and shouted: "Ruri?!"

At the same time, what came into view was Kazami Yoshiki lying on the ground covered in blood, his eyes wide open with shock and unwillingness in his eyes, and his mouth wide open, and Amashiro Ruri kneeling in front of him with her back to the door, screaming as she looked at her bloody hands.

Maori Kogoro stood at the door, stunned by the scene in front of him. Conan also rushed into the room and was shocked by the scene in the room.

Yucheng Liuli heard the unusual noise behind her and stopped screaming. She slowly turned her head to look at the door and called out in panic: "Kogoro..."

At this time, other people also rushed here and were also shocked by the scene in the room.

Maori Kogoro walked into the room with a serious face, squatted down, looked at Fengjian Yoshiki's bulging eyes, and said in a deep voice: "It's no use, his pupils have dilated... He is dead..."

Outside the door, Nanyun Nobuharu asked in shock: "Who could have done this? Who on earth would have done this to him?"

Nan Yunxiao shook his head and sighed, "It's hard to say... He loves making enemies everywhere..."

Hahara Kasumi shrieked, "But at a time like this... the person who discovers it first is the most likely suspect, right?"

"Huh?" Yucheng Liuli turned her head sharply to look at Boyuan Xia, and screamed in panic, "No, it wasn't me! I saw him covered in blood the moment I entered the room!"

She turned around and threw herself into Maori Kogoro's arms, clutching his suit tightly with her blood-stained hands, and said anxiously, "It's true, you have to believe me, Kogoro!!"

Maori Kogoro took the opportunity to hug her and comforted her: "Ah... Of course I believe you."

Maori Kogoro's statement made Yu Cheng Liuli feel relieved. She buried her head in his chest and burst into tears.

"Anyway, let's call the police first." Kogoro Mouri took out his cell phone and called the police.

After a while, Bai Quanyi arrived with his subordinates.

When Maori Kogoro saw Shiraizumi Masu, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Shiraizumi Masu, why is it you?"

Shiraizumi said: "Inspector Megure works overtime every day and it's very hard. Occasionally I take his place."

Then, Shiraizumi Mashi saw the very feminine Amashiro Ruri next to Maori Kogoro, and he suddenly became excited.

Masked Countess

"The deceased is 28-year-old Kazami Yoshiki! The cause of death is excessive blood loss due to damage to the left carotid artery! It's possible that someone cut the deceased's neck with a sharp weapon while he was resting on this sofa..."

Bai Quanyi frowned as he looked at the blood-stained sofa beside the deceased, speculating that the deceased had been cut in the neck on the sofa and bled profusely, then fell to the ground in pain and died from excessive bleeding.

Bai Quanyi looked at the work record book in his hand and said, "The estimated time of death is when the deceased entered this room to take a nap, which is approximately 30 minutes between 7:50 pm and 8:20 pm when the body was discovered!"

Conan suddenly came over and interjected, "I think it should be shorter!"

"Huh?" Baiquan Yi was stunned and turned to look at Conan.

Conan said: "Because when we visited this villa, we came into this room and heard the deceased snoring! It was exactly eight o'clock, right? Sister Xiaolan!"

At this moment, Amashiro Ruri, who was standing next to Maori Kogoro, gently nudged him and asked softly, "This detective is so handsome. Is he an acquaintance of Kogoro?"

Maori Kogoro nodded: "Yes! But he is not a good person."

Bai Quanyi smiled and greeted Yucheng Liuli: "Ms. Yucheng Liuli, I didn't expect to see you here. I'm your fan."

Yucheng Liuli was stunned for a moment: "Really? Am I that so? "

Shiraizumi said, "Of course, Amashiro Ruri, who played the heroine of the hit drama 'The Masked Countess', is well-known in Japan."

Yu Cheng Liuli was very pleased with Bai Quanyi's praise. She smiled and said, "This role was recommended by my old classmate Yu Xizi. I am so grateful for her help."

Conan asked in surprise: "Ms. Amashiro Ruri, are you and Sister Yukiko classmates?"

Yu Chengli said: "Yes. When I was in junior high school, Kogoro, Kogoro's ex-wife Eri, and Yukiko were all classmates."

Shiraizumi subconsciously glanced at the others standing at the door and asked, "So, with so many actors gathered here... doesn't this make it seem like we're filming a TV series?"

Maori Kogoro muttered: "We are already filming!"

The director quickly stepped forward to explain what had happened. After his explanation, Shiraizumi suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's what happened... You rented this mountain villa to film a mystery series, and unexpectedly, a real murder happened here... Life is a play, and a play is like life. It's so true!"

The director said with a sad face: "Uh, yes..."

Bai Quanyi stared at him and said, "Then what? The murder happened between 8:00 and 8:20. During this time, you were taking a break and pausing filming. All the crew members worked in pairs, so they all have alibis..." At this point, Bai Quanyi turned to Amashiro Ruri on the other side, "The only four people without alibis are Ms. Amashiro Ruri who discovered the deceased, Ms. Habara Kasumi who was practicing her lines alone in the room, Mr. Nanyun Xiao, and his son Nanyun Nobuharu!"

As he spoke, his gaze paused on each of Hahara Kasumi, Nangumo Akatsuki, and Nangumo Nobuharu.

Feeling the suspicion in Shiraizumi Masaru's eyes, Hahara Kasumi, Nangumo Akatsuki and Nangumo Nobuharu all became nervous.

Finally, Bai Quanyi's gaze returned to Yucheng Liuli and said, "Then, Miss Yucheng, please describe in detail the circumstances when the deceased was discovered..."

Yu Cheng Liuli thought for a moment and slowly began to narrate: "...I used the break time to visit this villa with Kogoro...no, it was Mr. Maori and the others...Then it happened to snow, so I suggested that we all go outside to enjoy the snow...The snow was beautiful, and I wanted to invite Kazami-kun to see it with us, so we came to this room...Because Kazami-kun seemed to be in a bad mood during the filming...But when I opened the door, I saw him lying on the ground covered in blood...I thought he was joking, so I shook him hard, but he didn't react at all...After that, I found out that he was really dead, and I started screaming..."

Baiquanyi nodded, looked at Habara Kasumi, Nanyun Xiao, and Nanyun Nobuharu, and said, "I see. That's why you three rushed over immediately after hearing the noise..."

Hatara Kasumi, Nangumo Akatsuki, and Nangumo Nobuharu quickly nodded in response: "Yes, that's right!" "That's right!"

Bai Quanyi said: "Then I would like to ask you to go to another room for a physical examination first..."

Boyuan Xia was surprised. "Huh? Why?"

Bai Quanyi said with a sullen face, "Because we haven't been able to find the ten-centimeter-long weapon that slashed the victim's neck in this villa..."

……

White snowflakes were still floating in the air, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow.

Inside the villa, Bai Quanyi looked at the watch on his wrist with a serious face, waiting for the police officer who was responsible for searching the four suspects to come back and report the results of the inspection.

The short and long hands of the time have reached the 10 and 12 positions, indicating that the current time is ten o'clock in the evening.

Just when Bai Quanyi was getting a little impatient waiting, the police officer finally came back and reported: "Officer Bai!"

Bai Quanyi hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Have you found the murder weapon?"

The officer replied, "No. We didn't find anything resembling a murder weapon on any of the four of them... We also carefully checked the items the staff brought with them and their rooms. The only suspected murder weapons were the kitchen knife and fruit knife, and the utility knife in the staff's tool box... But none of them showed any luminol reaction."
