Running out of the wooden house, it was pitch black outside, with no one around.
Just as Baishi Hui was about to start observing, he heard Conan exclaim, "There are footprints on the ground, though very faint... but looking at the size, they should belong to Mr. Takahashi!"
Saying this, he saw Conan take out a flashlight and rush into the forest.
Baishi Hui followed behind him, and after entering the small forest, he quickly found Takahashi Ryouichi's body.
An axe was deeply embedded in his forehead.
Conan's expression was extremely grim; he clenched his fists and said unwillingly, "Was I still a step too late?"
Baishi Hui's thoughts weren't on the body, but on Conan.
Is this guy a reincarnation of a search dog?
He can even find a body like this?
Just as he was sighing, Conan had already started to step forward and examine it.
Conan focused, quickly getting into the role of a Detective, forgetting his own identity, and murmured, "In the afternoon, Mr. Takahashi was with everyone, but afterwards, everyone went back to take a nap one after another."
"That is to say, the murder should have happened between three o'clock and dinner time."
"Besides this fatal wound on the deceased, there are also several signs of being beaten. Coupled with the depth and force of the axe's penetration... the killer must have at least the strength of an adult male!"
"..."
As Conan spoke, he suddenly fell silent.
He looked back at Baishi Hui guiltily and said with a dry laugh, "I... I'm telling you, Shinichi taught me all this. Do you believe me?"
"I believe you," Baishi Hui said perfunctorily, then added, "Let's carry the body back first!"
"Okay." Conan scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
He wasn't an idiot; he could naturally see the other party's attitude of seeing through but not speaking up.
It seems... Dad was right. He had already suspected him, but just didn't say anything.
Besides being awkward, Conan also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he probably didn't need to pretend to be a child in front of Baishi Hui anymore. It was tiring to keep up the act.

"Takahashi... How could this be?"
"What on earth happened?"
"Damn it, why would something like this happen!!"
"..."
Inside the resort villa, after seeing Takahashi Ryouichi's body, everyone's faces were unpleasant, filled with both fear and dread!
Conan took in their reactions, then pulled Yukiko, who was disguised as Shinichi, over and quietly told him his deductions so that he could continue to display the deductive talent KudoShinichi should possess.
So, "Shinichi" stepped forward, pretending to begin the autopsy, and then went through various analyses, leaving everyone stunned!
As for Conan, he used this time to investigate everywhere, working non-stop, his feet barely touching the ground!
He's really busy... Baishi Hui sighed inwardly when he saw this.
He went over to Ran and Sonoko and asked softly, "How are you? You weren't scared, were you?"
"J-just a little," Ran tried her best to appear less frightened so as not to worry others.
But unfortunately, her acting wasn't very good, and her eyes revealed deep unease.
On the other hand, Sonoko directly expressed her fear: "When that bandaged wack appeared just now, he scared me to death!!"
"To be honest... I was actually scared too," Baishi Hui said in a low voice, "So scared I almost pulled out my gun!"
"Ah? You brought a handgun?" Ran looked at Baishi Hui in surprise, and suddenly didn't feel so scared anymore.
"Of course! Look!" Baishi Hui turned slightly, lifted his jacket, and let the two girls see clearly.
He said confidently, "I've been running into trouble often lately... Without this guy for self-defense, I really feel unsafe."
"Great!" After seeing the handgun, Sonoko's inner unease instantly dissipated. She said with relief, "With this here, we don't have to be afraid of that bandaged wack anymore!!"
"..." Ran opened her mouth but said nothing. Her feelings were complicated and contradictory at this moment.
As a good girl, she always felt that handguns were dangerous and it was better not to carry them around, not to mention that it was illegal!!
But the events of this period and what was happening right now were constantly reminding her... this world is dangerous! Even if you do nothing, trouble will find you.
It was understandable to carry a handgun for self-defense!
What's more... she was clearly scared before, but after seeing the handgun, she immediately felt a strong sense of security and wasn't scared at all!!
"Sonoko, here, take this." Baishi Hui quietly slipped the handgun into Sonoko's hand and said, "If that bandaged wack attacks you, just shoot without hesitation."
"Ran is most afraid of these scary things... Her safety is in your hands!"
"Okay!! I'll protect Ran!" Sonoko took the handgun and felt a heavy responsibility suddenly placed on her shoulders!
Seeing that both of them wanted to protect her, Ran felt warm inside and very comforted.
But at the same time, she was also a little frustrated... Why was she afraid of these things? If she wasn't afraid of these things, then she could protect Sonoko.
After some conversation, Baishi Hui saw that Ran and Sonoko were no longer scared, and only then did he turn his attention elsewhere.
He saw that Conan was still investigating everywhere, while "Shinichi" had started questioning people one by one.
This flashy investigation method was too slow.
It would be better to do it himself!
Thinking this, Baishi Hui took the initiative to step forward and said to "Shinichi," "Kudo, you and Conan go investigate... Leave the simple task of questioning to me!"
"This... Okay, then I'll leave it to you." "Shinichi" also felt that he wouldn't get anything useful from questioning and simply handed it over to Baishi Hui.
"Mr. Ota, please come with me." Baishi Hui called out the name and motioned for him to follow.
He chose to conduct the interrogation in the storage room, which was relatively far from the living room.
After closing the door, he looked at the reluctant Ota Katsu and said, "What did you do after you returned to your room this afternoon?"
"I already said, I went back to my room to sleep in the afternoon!" Ota Katsu said impatiently.
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Baishi Hui decisively punched him in the stomach.
"Ugh!!" Ota Katsu hunched over in pain, feeling a very strong sense of nausea and extreme discomfort!
Baishi Hui grabbed his long hair and said fiercely, "I advise you to think carefully before answering my question!!"
"I... I really didn't do anything! I have no grudge against Takahashi, why would I kill him?" Ota Katsu looked at the man in front of him with some fear. He didn't expect that someone so handsome would be so ruthless and hit him right away!!
"It seems you didn't listen to me!" Baishi Hui said, and without further ado, he started hitting him!
Hitting the stomach directly will cause nausea and discomfort. A little more force can make the other person unable to recover and even make them vomit.
A gentle hit on the ribs or liver area on either side will cause intense pain.
Hitting the liver area hard can easily knock someone down.
The abdomen is the most painful area of the human body to be hit. A punch there, and the force will penetrate deep inside, causing immense pain, but there will be no visible external injuries.
Baishi Hui felt that the uppercut and knee to the lower abdomen were the most satisfying.
Of course, the buttocks were the most convenient.
Below the buttocks are all fat and muscle, with no important organs or body parts. You can hit them however you want.
After performing a set of 'Great Memory Restoration Techniques,' Baishi Hui finally stopped and asked, "How is it? Have you remembered?"
"Yes... I've remembered, I've remembered everything. Please stop hitting me..." Ota Katsu said with tears streaming down his face. "After I returned to my room, I wanted to play on my phone to pass the time, but there was no internet here, so I had to look for some pictures of girls in the album to relieve my boredom."
"But I didn't expect to lose control for a moment and soiled my pants."
"Then I took off my pants and lay down to sleep, exhausted."
"Everything I said is true... If you don't believe me, you can go to my bathroom and see, I haven't washed those jeans yet!"
...
Baishi Hui heard that this kid had confessed everything, and only then did he nod in satisfaction and say, "Wouldn't it have been fine if you had said so earlier? You had to be beaten first!!"
"When others ask later, just say that nothing happened, understand?"
"Let me tell you, I am Ms. Suzuki's personal bodyguard."
"To protect my lady's safety, I can do anything!"
Saying this, he took out the Glock pistol and showed it to Ota Katsu.
Ota Katsu saw it and said tearfully, "You should have taken this out earlier... I would have confessed everything!"
"I was nervous for a moment and forgot." Baishi Hui put the gun away and said, "Alright, quickly wipe your tears and snot, adjust your state, and don't let others notice."
"O-okay, please give me a few minutes." Ota Katsu quickly nodded and tidied up his appearance.
Before leaving, Baishi Hui asked him to call Hiroki Kadotani over.
After coming out of the storage room, Ota Katsu lit a cigarette for himself, walked back to the living room with his hands in his pockets, and put on a calm and composed look.
Seeing that everyone's eyes on him were normal, he felt relieved and said, "Hiroki, it's your turn. Go in... It's in the storage room."
"Okay." Hiroki Kadotani didn't think much of it and went to the storage room with his camera.
Then he received fair treatment from Baishi Hui... he was beaten up.
But luckily, Hiroki Kadotani was an honest person. After being beaten up, he confessed everything.
"After I returned to my room, I filmed a vlog... Really! If you don't believe me, look, I filmed for almost an hour, and after I got tired of filming, I went to sleep!" Hiroki Kadotani handed the camera to Baishi Hui in fear, very afraid that the other party would beat him without a word!
Baishi Hui took the camera and looked at it, and after confirming that the other party was not lying, he returned the item to him, gave him a routine scare, and then asked him to call Ikeda Chikako in.
After waiting for a while, Ikeda Chikako came in.
Baishi Hui asked, "Ms. Ikeda, have you studied martial arts before?"
"No." Ikeda Chikako just shook her head, and the next second she was surprised to see Baishi Hui deliver a side kick.
She almost instinctively leaned back to avoid it and said with cold eyes, "What are you doing?"
Baishi Hui sneered, "Chang Wei, you still say you don't know martial arts?"
Ah, the readers are too smart, they guessed everything.
