Stay away from Conan

Chapter 159 Cabin

When Gao Yuan asked this question, Tie Zhuyu suddenly showed a surprised look, and then quickly turned away, avoiding Gao Yuan's sight.

Gao Yuan felt a little helpless about this, and Ooka Hongye looked at Tie Zhuyu in surprise. When he was about to step forward to comfort her, Ooka Hongye's cell phone rang.

"Excuse me."

Looking at the caller ID, Ooka Hongye said politely, then walked out of the villa and answered the phone.

But only after a while, Ooka Momiji came back and said a little apologetically: "Moroha, Mr. Akechi, I'm sorry, because my father suddenly asked me to go back, so I may not be able to stay here any longer."

Saying that, he looked at Iori Wuga.

Iori Muga obviously understood what Ooka Momiji meant, so he walked out of the villa and started the car.

"So, Moroha, Mr. Akechi, what are your next plans? Are you going back to Kyoto first?"

Ooka Momiji asked.

"kindness……"

After thinking for a while, Gao Yuan said, "I'll stay here for the time being. Maybe I can find some clues."

"Then I'll stay too."

Tie Zhuyu also said at this time.

"That's it."

Seeing Tie Zhuyu's reaction, Ooka Momiji was slightly surprised, and then walked to Gao Yuan and said: "In this case, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Akechi, if anything happens, please contact Iori, I will try my best to help ”

After saying goodbye to the two of them, Ooka Momiji followed Iori Muga in the car and went back.

Faced with such a situation, Gao Yuan felt very surprised. He looked at Tie Zhuyu who was sitting on the sofa and asked, "So, Miss Tie, can you continue to answer my questions?"

"Is this answer very important?"

After waiting for a while, Tie Zhuyu spoke.

"Very important."

Gao Yuan said categorically - because this is very strange. When listening to Tie Zhuyu explain what happened, she mentioned that Keiko Okumura was attacked during the time when she left the bedroom.

At that time, Gao Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but after Gao Yuan saw the structure of the villa, a very big doubt arose - where did Tie Zhuyu go that night?

Originally, Gao Yuan subconsciously thought that girls should go to the bathroom outside the bedroom to take a shower or use the toilet at night, so it was very reasonable to leave the bedroom temporarily.

But the reality is that there is a rain shower and a toilet in the bedroom! Then where did she go when she left the bedroom? Besides, it was already late at night!

Listening to Gao Yuan's tone, Tie Zhuyu hesitated for a moment, then stood up, picked up the sword bag and put it on his shoulder. Then he walked outside the villa door and looked back at Gao Yuan: "Follow me."

After saying that, Tie Zhuyu walked straight out.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan followed without asking any questions.

As soon as he went out, he saw that Iori Wuga's key to open the door was still in the keyhole, so Gao Yuan closed the door, locked it, took out the key, and put it away.

As the end of the year approaches, the sky is getting colder, and the cool breeze from the mountains is blowing up the fallen leaves. However, Gao Yuan and Tie Zhuyu are the only two people on the mountain path at the moment, and it seems particularly quiet.

Silent all the way, they followed Tie Zhuyu on the mountain path for a while, and soon they came to an open space. There was a simple cabin here, which seemed to be a temporary resting place for people entering the mountain.

Standing in front of the cabin door, Tie Zhuyu stopped.

"I came here that night."

Tie Zhuyu said with a solemn expression.

Looking at this cabin, Gao Yuan was even more confused - coming to such a cabin from a well-equipped villa in the mountains at night, as a girl, this behavior seemed very bizarre.

However, since Tie Zhuyu has brought her here, she must also explain the specific reasons to herself.

So Gao Yuan then asked: "Miss Tie..."

"Moruha."

Tie Zhuyu suddenly said, "Just call me Zhu Yu."

Tie Zhuyu looked at the wooden house seriously and said, "Mr. Mingzhi must find it very strange why I came here in the middle of the night."

Gao Yuan was noncommittal and waited quietly for her to continue.

"Actually, if no one asked me about this, I would have never wanted to say it in my life for Keiko. So, Mr. Akechi, can you keep what I say next a secret for me?"

Tie Zhuyu said.

"I will try my best."

Gao Yuan thought for a while and could only say this.

"Really."

Tie Zhuyu said, opened the door of the cabin and walked in, and Gao Yuan followed closely behind.

This wooden house has only one room and looks very empty. In addition to a few tools piled up in the corners of the room, there was only a place to light a bonfire in the central open space.

Other than that, there is nothing else here, not even electricity.

Even during the day, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel cold when staying here at such a temperature. It seemed that if he wanted to come here at night, he would have to light a bonfire.

"On the day we stayed together, when I came back from the street early, I saw Keiko sneaking into this wooden house."

At this time, Tie Zhuyu began to say, "But I didn't think anything was wrong at the time, so I didn't ask what Keizi was doing at the time. I thought Keizi was just wandering around in the mountains boredly, and then discovered this wooden house."

After a pause, Tie Zhuyu continued:

"When I realized there was a problem, it was after we returned to the villa and shared rooms to rest. Because Keiko and I shared a room, I noticed that Keiko had a smell."

"smell?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but asked, "What does it smell like?"

"I can't tell you specifically."

Tie Zhuyu shook his head and said, "But intuitively, I think that smell is the smell of gunpowder."

"The smell of gunpowder?"

Hearing this word, Gao Yuan was a little surprised, so he asked confirmingly: "That smell of nitrate, sulfur, and carbon?"

In response, Tie Zhuyu nodded.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan frowned slightly, and then looked at the bonfire in the cabin. Bad associations kept popping up in Gao Yuan's mind.

Seeing Gao Yuan's eyes solemnly staring at the position of the bonfire, Tie Zhuyu sighed and said, "I thought so at the time."

"So, you came here that night to confirm?"

Gao Yuan said doubtfully.

"not only that."

Tie Zhuyu said, "That night, when Keiko went to take a shower, she received a text message on her mobile phone. At that time, I felt strange about the smell on Keiko's body, so I was very curious... and peeked at her mobile phone... "

As he spoke, he seemed to blame himself for his behavior, and his voice gradually became smaller.

"What's the text message about?"

Gao Yuan asked aloud, not bothering with Tie Zhuyu's reason for going back to peek at his friend's phone.

"The text message said that Keiko should go to the cabin to meet 'him' at twelve o'clock that night after everyone is asleep."

Tie Zhuyu said.

"who is he?"

As Gao Yuan spoke, he suddenly realized something, so he asked in a probing manner - "Kubo Haruki?"
