"You can't just convict us based on her words! I went to the bathroom, so naturally I came back and she could hear the door closing. My room is right beside hers," no. 12, Tsukasa Rika, complained almost immediately.
She knew that she was one of the suspects, but it was really not her who killed these people.
Hell, with her strength, is it even possible for her to lift a machete?
Her strength was only 6, which is slightly above average, alright?!
"I went to the bathroom too," Sano Marta said calmly and then glanced at Tsukasa Rika. "I also saw her in the bathroom."
"Yes, that's true."
When Tsukasa Rika came out of the stalls to wash her hand, she saw Sano Marta who was washing her hand. At that time, Tsukasa Rika only treated the other party as the other guests of the restaurant and didn't pay much attention to it.
The two of them returned to their respective rooms around the same time.
But looking at the brain channel…
No. 12 silently moved away from Sano Marta.
She had the feeling that if she dared to stay close to Margaret, the other party might even want to kill her. These people were real desperate criminals who didn't hesitate to kill people when necessary.
Just from the case that no. 1 made up back then…
They only saw one picture, but it was more than enough to make them want to vomit.
No. 12 didn't even dare to look closely.
It was worse than the picture from the horror games.
Moreover, if she had to face such a scene head on… No. 12 felt that her heart couldn't take it.
Too much stimulation!
And knowing that Sano Marta is Margaret and also the murderer, she couldn't help but move away and stayed further away from her.
"I saw her when I came out from the stalls, but I don't know when she came in," no. 12 said as she stepped away from Sano Marta.
Margaret naturally saw no. 12 little actions and scorned the other party in her heart.
Just an ordinary person.
So boring.
And looking at how cowardly Hikari Yuki was, she felt that it was ridiculous.
But it was also true that she should have escaped a long time ago. It was just that she has never been suspected before because of her appearance.
Meeting the police officers was nothing more than an annoying drama.
"And if the murderer left, it doesn't mean those who come later will be the murderer," Margaret exposed the loopholes in the logic.
"I know, but I'm afraid, so I didn't dare to get out," Hikari Yuki replied with her lips pursed.
If no. 5 was here, he would want to vomit blood at Hikari Yuki's words. How could she be afraid when she herself was someone who dared to kill people?
Look at her mission lists over the years!
It was nothing more than an act.
Unfortunately, everyone here didn't know the truth, so they subconsciously agreed with her words.
"It's right to be cautious!" Megumi Aiko gave a thumbs up to Hikari Yuki.
Hikari Yuki smiled sheepishly and maintained her distance from the other two women. She had to pretend that she didn't know the truth and feared these two people.
Controlling her expression, Hikari Yuki looked down and her finger twisted together, as if she was nervous.
Even though the act was minor and small, Hikari Yuki didn't dare to neglect it.
She knew that even a small detail might be the one that could cause her downfall if she was not careful enough.
"That's ridiculous. How could a weak woman kill someone." Margaret snorted, looking extremely unhappy.
Well, to be honest, inspector Megure also didn't think that an ordinary woman could do it. It was a family of four that was killed and even if the couple was older, they were still in their forties. Their first son was already an adult, but the killer managed to kill him easily.
They were still reconstructing the murder scene, but it was obvious that the person who did it had to be extremely strong.
Because there were almost no obvious defensive wounds.
"There are only three guests on the second floor and the waiter who comes upstairs. How's the surveillance cameras?"
"He came up and down again only twice because Miss Hikari hadn't had the chance to order food," Takagi was the one who answered. "The time frame is…."
Hikari Yuki listened calmly, looking curious yet dumb on her face. When she set up her personality, she decided to use Morofushi Hiromitsu and also her young self in her previous life as the reference. At least, when she was not under the identity of Sake.
In this way, she would still appear normal outside.
'Margaret identity should be her real identity. She didn't bother using other fake identities even if she could.'
The intelligent team provided them with more than enough fake names that they could use when necessary. Hikari Yuki herself has a few more other identities.
Some of them had been scrapped.
But she prefers using only two, Hikari Yuki and Midori Yuki.
The time frame was clear.
No. 12 was the first person to come and order food. She came nearly an hour before the murder, which meant she had plenty of time.
And the family themselves arrived around five minutes after her arrival.
Margaret came twenty minutes afterwards. There was still plenty of time, but it would be difficult to kill someone without being found out since the rooms were really close.
As for Hikari Yuki, she came nearly fifty minutes after no. 12.
At this time, these people had died and she directly called the police.
The waiter came twice. Once when Margaret came and he delivered food for both the families and no. 12. Second is after Hikari Yuki arrived to deliver food for Margaret.
Based on the timeline, the most likely one seemed to be either Margaret or no. 12.
Hikari Yuki was listening calmly when she sensed gazes landing on her. Raising her head as if looking around, she found that it was Matsuda Jinpei.
He scanned each of them carefully one by one.
'Is he planning to investigate the case?' Hikari Yuki thought to herself.
From what she knew Matsuda Jinpei was already back to the bomb disposal team again a long time ago. Besides, he seemed to be very suitable in that position rather than the investigation section.
Hikari Yuki kept her thoughts inside and acted normally.
"Is it possible for an outsider to do this? It's not like you can't open the window." Margaret snorted.
No. 12 looked at the window that was clamped shut. Even though the window is pretty big, it was unlikely for someone to climb up in the middle of the day.
"But what if people from the apartment on the other side of the street see?"
"No one's there anyway. It's daytime and everyone has left for work." Margaret waved her hand with impatience.
Conan raised his head to look at Margaret.
This woman's words made him feel strange repeatedly.
As if…
This kind of common knowledge was something that everyone would know, but he had the feeling that it was not that simple.
What should he do?
