Conan: Another Famous Detective

Everyone looked at Chengxiang at the same time.

Sumika also widened her eyes and looked at Sera in disbelief: "You said... I am the murderer?"

"That's right! Of the people in the house at the time, you were the only one who could do this!" Sera said calmly.

"Wait a minute! Before Miss Sumika came to find us, wasn't she cleaning on the second floor? We have been together since then! How could she have the opportunity to kill someone?" Sonoko asked in confusion.

"Oh? Was Sumika working on the second floor cleaning at that time?" Sera asked with a smile.

"It should be, right?" Xiaolan was a little unsure: "Because there has been a roar like a vacuum cleaner coming from the second floor, and there was also the sound of something hitting the wall."

"That! It's actually just Miss Sumika's deception." Conan smiled and said, "The sounds you heard are actually easy to explain."

"Just use Ren Tian's bat, glue it on something like cardboard, hang it on a pole, and then turn on the electric fan and set it to rotate."

"In this way, the bat will be blown away by the force of the wind, and then when the fan is turned off, it will swing back to the pillar again. This is the 'buckle' sound you hear."

"The evidence is that there are traces of something stuck on the front end of the bat, and Ren Tian's room also has a pole to hang the bat. More importantly, Ren Tian's room is just above the room you clean!"

"That's it." Sera took over: "Sumi used this device to create the illusion that she was always on the second floor, and she herself had secretly come to the bathroom to find Hakutani."

"After knocking Bogu unconscious with a dumbbell, he sank the entire Bogu into the water, then pressed it down with a dumbbell and covered it with tomatoes. Because the sweetness of the tomatoes was high enough, all the tomatoes sank into the water."

"Of course, in order to prevent Xiaolan and the others from discovering the body, you also added an appropriate amount of bath salt to make the water in the bathtub appear green and prevent tomatoes from floating up."

"Afterwards, you find Xiaolan and the others and let them enter the bathroom so that they can confirm the situation in the bathtub and make an alibi for you."

"Then when you entered for the second time, you found an opportunity to enter first, and secretly added bath salts while Xiaolan and the others were not paying attention. The salinity in the water further increased, and the tomatoes floated up one by one."

"As for the evidence..." Sera glanced at Sumika's sleeves: "Miss Sumika, why do you keep rolling up your sleeves? I remember when we first met, your sleeves were clearly down, right?"

Chengxiang's body suddenly trembled when she heard this, and her face turned pale under the dim candlelight.

"Chengxiang, you..." Zhumei gradually showed shock when she saw Chengxiang's reaction.

"Yes Sumika! Put down your sleeves and let her see! Tell her you are innocent!" Rentian's tone became a little urgent.

"Does she really dare to put it down?" Yu Gongming said calmly: "In order to fish out Bo Gu's body, I put my hand into the bathtub, but now my sleeve has become like this..."

He put down his sleeves and showed the salt crystals attached to them: "What about you, Miss Sumika? In order to prevent us from discovering abnormalities in the water quality of the bathtub, you must ensure that the bath salts are fully dissolved."

Seriang chuckled and said: "You must have stirred the bath salts in the bathtub with your hands, right? And when you put your sleeves into the high-concentration salt water, the sleeves were inevitably stained with salt water. After the water evaporated, what was left... …”

Sera put down Sumika's sleeve, and many fine salt crystals were shaken off, but there were still a lot of salt crystals left on the sleeve.

Chengxiang stared at the salt grains on her sleeves, lowered her head slightly, and was speechless.

Sera looked as expected and said with a smile: "Actually, the rest of us thought you were suspicious from the beginning."

"In the beginning?" Chengxiang suddenly raised her head and looked at Sera in surprise.

"Yes!" Yu Gongming smiled: "Because you had just arrived at that time, and everyone else mistakenly thought Sera was a boy after seeing her for the first time."

"But you never had such doubts. You even gave the photo to Sera as soon as you arrived, as if you already knew that she was the detective in this investigation."

"So, where did you know that?"

Seriang took over the conversation: "I think you must have heard our conversation in the woods and knew that I was a girl and that I came to investigate, so you didn't hesitate and handed over the envelope with the photo directly. I."

"But... there seemed to be only a long-haired woman in red clothes wandering around us at that time. Therefore, the woman in red clothes we saw at that time was actually Sumika."

"The woman in red is Miss Sumika pretending to be?" Sonoko looked in disbelief.

"It's Chengxiang, you took Bo Gu..." Rentian looked at Chengxiang with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Why are you doing this, Sumika?" Zhumi asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Sumika took a breath and snorted: "Well, it was indeed the woman in red that I pretended to be, and it was me who directed those weird things in the villa! I did all this to get rid of Satoko until she died. Find out the despicable villain!"

Zhumei and Rentian were stunned: "You will die without saving?"

"Yes." Sumika explained: "It was only a few years later that I learned from a police officer that Satoko was wearing a long red coat when she was found."

"But! I remember she was wearing a folio sweater that day!" Ren Tian asked doubtfully.

"Yes! So, in fact, Satoko, like me, pretended to be the woman in red. She probably wanted to scare us on purpose, right? That's why she claimed to have seen the woman in red in the woods."

"Since it's a prank, someone must help guide us to the predetermined location."

"Is that person Bo Gu?" Ren Tian couldn't help but ask.

"Yes! It's him!" Cheng Xiang's tone became excited: "I used apples, roses and paint to constantly arouse his fear of the woman in red, but he never showed his fox tail, until today I dressed up in red Girl, he just let it slip."

"Except for the participants in the prank at the time, no one would associate the woman in red with Satoko like he did."

"I think Satoko must have been lost and couldn't find the agreed upon location, and then accidentally fell into the swamp. If we had known about this in time, maybe we could have found Satoko in time!"

"But when I asked Bo Gu about this, he said that he was scared when he saw Satoko not arriving at the scheduled place, so he didn't tell the truth!"

"If he had said it at that time, Satoko... Satoko would not have died!"

Yui's eyes flickered: "So, did you direct and act the time you were attacked?"

Sumika shook her head: "No, maybe one of Zhumei and Rentian discovered the truth, so he attacked me, right?"

"How could I do such a boring thing?" Ren Tian immediately denied it.

"That's it!" Zhumei said.

"Wait a minute! If it's not you, then who is it?" Yuanzi's voice was trembling.
