Chapter 1006

They had all heard of the great name of the Onmyoji.

"Aren't there bloodstains on the balcony? And I did feel someone rushing toward the balcony."

"It just looks like someone escaped through the balcony, but feelings can be deceiving."

Conan turned to Megure, "Inspector, anyway, let's interrogate the guests first, and by the way, search their personal belongings."

Megure nodded solemnly: "That's all we can do for now. The long, sharp murder weapon that stabbed the victim's heart is like an ice pick. If the culprit hasn't escaped, it's very likely hidden on their body."

"Wait a minute," the bald old man interrupted, "What about the bloodstain problem? According to what you said, shouldn't the culprit be covered in blood?"

"Yes," the female guest next to him followed up, "If you don't solve this problem first, we don't intend to accept interrogation and body searches!"

"There's clearly nothing to be suspicious about. Isn't it too rude to investigate like this?"

The guests were all in an uproar. They were all people of status and were quite resistant to police investigation, shouting and demanding to go home one after another.

Conan watched all this quietly.

So many guests came to attend the birthday party, and it seemed no one was sad because of Mrs. Hoshina's death. This lady was really a failure.

No wonder she invited the murderer to the party.

Who is the murderer?

Inspector Megure's gaze swept over the guests who were in a hurry to leave. Before he could stop them, the square-faced man with a pipe blocked everyone.

"Everyone, please wait!" the pipe man advised, "Don't you understand yet? Someone has been killed! Today everyone came to celebrate her birthday. If the culprit is still among us, isn't assisting the police with the investigation what we should do?"

Although the process had some twists and turns, in the end, the guests stayed. Maybe it was for the sake of face, or maybe it was really for Mrs. Hoshina. ===== CHAPTER 1008 =====
