Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1148 The Corpse in the Wooden House

Fewer and fewer guests passed through the security checkpoint, so Youye and his companions stopped guarding the area and went to the temporary command center to inspect the situation through the surveillance cameras installed in the hall.

The competition progressed slowly. Although it was the first time for Toyama Kazuha to participate in the competition, he showed stronger strength than many veteran players. He successfully advanced to the finals after overcoming all obstacles.

And her final opponent is naturally Ooka Momiji.

The judges naturally noticed this strange girl as well. They looked at the information in their hands and exclaimed in amazement. They planned that after the competition was over, no matter who won the championship, they would try to recruit this girl into their own karuta club.

There was a screen in the command center specifically for broadcasting the game, and Yuya and the other two also saw the results.

Hattori Heiji looked at the girl who sat down exhausted on the screen and couldn't help but sigh: "He Ye is really working hard."

Yuya smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I didn't expect her to make it to the finals. Next up is her showdown with Ooka Momiji."

Just then, Otaki Goro's voice was heard outside the tent.

"What, Sekine woke up?"

Perhaps it was because the bomb dose was not enough, or perhaps Guan Gen was lucky, but in any case, not only was he not killed, he finally woke up after being in a coma for a day.

He also explained to the guarding police officer that, just as Yuya and the others had deduced, Sekine had indeed been to the scene where Yajima was murdered in advance.

The reason he did this was because he discovered that Yajima was investigating Nagoro, and thought that he might be able to find his master through Yajima, so he began to monitor him secretly.

Later, Sekine realized that something was wrong with Yajima, and when he went to his house to check, he found that Yajima had been murdered, and there was evidence pointing to Nagoro at the scene.

So Sekine destroyed and hid the evidence.

Otaki Goro handed over the matters at hand and rushed to Kyoto.

Yuya walked a few steps to the side and started discussing secretly.

Hattori Heiji analyzed, "Now it seems that Mr. Sekine is not the murderer of Yajima. In this case, there is only one person left who could have committed the crime?"

Conan said in a deep voice: "Achiha Kensuke! But why? Yajima is a member of the Gaoyue Club and a powerful player who won the Gaoyue Cup twice in a row. Why would Achiha kill him?"

Yuya pinched his chin and said, "When Yajima was murdered, he was watching a previous match. Could it be that he found some evidence against Achiha in the video that forced him to kill him to silence him?"

Hattori Heiji recalled: "Those matches, I remember they were all recordings of the Satsuki Cup finals, right?"

Yuya nodded.

Conan said: "Achiha also appeared in the video, acting as a reader, but what evidence does this reveal?"

Just as a few people were thinking about it, suddenly a loud explosion sounded.

Everyone looked up in astonishment, only to see a column of thick smoke rising into the sky from the woods west of the guild hall.

"What's with the smoke?"

"A fire?"

"No, if it was a fire, the fire system would have been activated! Could it be a bomb?"

"Hey, this is no joke!"

Ayanokouji shouted, "Is there anything in the woods to the west?"

A police officer shouted back, "There's just an abandoned warehouse over there!"

"Turn up the surveillance!"

"No, that place is outside the area of ​​the guild hall, and there are no cameras!"

Yuya and his companions immediately ran towards the direction of the smoke.

At the same time, Toyama Kazuha and Ooka Momiji, who advanced to the finals, boarded a small boat, rowed by Achiha Kensuke himself, and headed towards the final venue, Gaoyue Hall.

Suddenly, Yuanshan Heye sniffed and asked in confusion, "What's that smell?"

Achiha looked in the direction of the elevator and said, "The elevator was recently inspected. Maybe it smells like lubricant? Are you concerned about it?"

Yuanshan Heye shook his head: "Nothing, maybe I'm just too excited."

Because I was too excited, my senses were more sensitive than usual, and I could even smell the lubricant in the elevator from far away.

Ooka Momiji, who was sitting at the bow, smiled and said, "This is really exciting. How are you?"

Yuanshan and Ye Qiang laughed and said, "To be honest, I never expected to advance to the finals. I'm so nervous. How about you? You shouldn't be nervous, right?"

Ooka Hongye smiled and said, "No, I'm so nervous that my heart is about to jump out of my chest."

"Huh?" Toyama Kazuha showed a surprised expression. She didn't expect that someone as powerful as Ooka Momiji would also be nervous?

Ooka Momiji looked straight into Toyama Kazuha's eyes with a confident smile: "I was wondering what kind of expression Heiji would have after I confessed my feelings to him."

Upon hearing this, Toyama Kazuha's expression instantly tensed up, revealing an expression of unwillingness to admit defeat - I can't lose, I absolutely can't lose, I will never give Heiji to you!

···

On the other side, the police officers worked hard and finally put out the fire in the cabin.

"What happened? Was it an explosion?"

Ayanokouji, who arrived at the scene, asked a police officer.

The officer saluted and said, "Yes, there is another victim, and his body is severely damaged."

"Is that so?" Ayanokouji's expression was very grim. "The question now is, when and how was the bomb planted here?"

The hall had been cleared in advance, and anyone entering the hall would undergo strict inspection at the security checkpoint. How did the bomb get in?

Yuya and the other two stood by the wooden house, frowning as they looked at the still smoking wood.

Suddenly, Conan noticed a hole in the wall of the wooden house that had not collapsed yet, and the direction of the opening seemed like something had passed through the wall and flew out during the explosion.

He quickly turned around and began to search in the speculated direction of flight.

Soon, a purple ring was found on a tree opposite.

"This is..." Conan stared at the ring blankly, feeling that it looked very familiar.

Yuya and Hattori Heiji also came over.

Yuya took one look and said, "Isn't this Kaieda Tengwu's ring?!"

Hattori Heiji was stunned: "Kaieda? Is he Achiha's secretary?"

Ayanokouji noticed the three men's actions and overheard their conversation as he approached. He immediately asked, "In that case, could it be that Kaieda is the culprit behind these incidents?"

"No!" Youye denied his guess and said in a deep voice, "If we hadn't found this ring, who would the body in the wooden house be?"

Ayanokouji was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

"You mean, Nagoro Shikao?"
