Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 424: Imitator Carnival (Part 4)

Realizing that something was wrong, Ms. Farrow was about to make an explanation when she found herself in a conference room.

Ms. Farrow: Holy shit, Sentinel? So unlucky?

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?" The fire investigator has been walking around the east bathroom this round and has seen no one.

The mercenary who was also in the recreation room didn't see anyone this time: "Let's see what the person who rang the bell says."

Although the usual speaking order is in the clockwise order of the bell ringing, this time it is very entertaining, so it is not a big deal if someone interrupts occasionally.

"I found the body in the garden. I met Ada at first, but we didn't exchange identities. I told her I was going to the monitoring room and then left." Ms. Farrow decided to save herself and see if she could get away with it.

"I saw Emil in the monitoring room, but Andrew came over, packed Emil up, and ran off. I had no choice but to chase him. Halfway through, it suddenly got dark, and I didn't have time to brake, so I accidentally dropped Mathias's knife. It was dark, so I had to ring the bell and get Andrew out first."

After Ms. Farrow, the Knight spoke. He realized his teammate had definitely hit the Sentinel with a knife, but at this point, he had no choice but to go ahead and fight. "Egg and I were in the power room the whole time. We were halfway through fixing the lights when the bell rang. According to Evelyn, she was a good person with a knife. She wanted to kill Andrew, the deliveryman, but accidentally hit Matthias, right?"

The mercenary then spoke: "I've been walking around the dormitory and haven't seen anyone. If Evelin has a knife, it seems a little suspicious to me."

The psychologist looked at the patient's black and white portrait with a hint of sadness. "I didn't expect Emil to leave in the first round. I initially thought Evelyn had stabbed Emil, but now it seems there's another explanation. Is there anyone else in the garden?"

The batsman spoke passionately on the microphone: "Matthias is a sentinel, a sentinel. Evelyn's statement is wrong. If she thinks a good person carries a knife, it must be the Hunter, the irresponsible knife, but she didn't mention this at all!"

The fire investigator decided to play cover. "Everyone will know it now, Gangi. Don't give out your identities carelessly. There might be other players and conspirators on the scene."

The painter thought for a moment and then spoke: "Richard and I were in the power room the whole time. We didn't exchange identities, but he didn't attack me either, so I protected him for now. I don't know anything else."

It was the gardener's turn: "I feel like Evelin is a little suspicious. If she really is carrying a knife, she can come to the restaurant to prove herself in the next round."

The knight silently noted that the gardener might be a detective and already knew the identity of one of the good guys with a knife. The mercenary's suspicion of Ms. Farrow just now also hinted that he might have a knife in his hand.

The doctor nodded. "Emma and I stayed together in the restaurant. Then Ada came over and asked us to go to the monitoring room to find Emil together. But... well."

Finally, the gravekeeper spoke: "Do you just assume I'm a deliveryman? How could I possibly load the goods with two people? Evelyn has a knife in her hand, for sure, but I don't think she's a good person either."

A free discussion began. Since there was too little information and no one heard the gravekeeper say "Evelyn was the delivery person", the gravekeeper was directly voted out. After all, his suspicion was too great. But Ms. Farrow would then face questioning from several detectives with knife cards.

Conan looked at the gravekeeper, the patient, and the puppeteer who had been eliminated and felt a little nervous: "What will happen to those who are eliminated? They shouldn't be really dead."

The priest calmly sat on the sofa and said, "I've already said this place is protected by the Cat God. You can think of it as a real dream. In this place, you will feel pain, bleed, and die, but as long as the game is over and you leave the place, everything will return to normal."

At this time, the second round has already begun in the game venue.

The gardener, born in the garden, ran straight to the dining hall and stood at the bell, waiting for the doctor to join her. Meanwhile, Ms. Farrow, born in the dormitory, felt somewhat helpless. She was currently the center of attention and would likely be voted out of the meeting soon, unless her two good teammates could immediately reduce the number of people.

"Damn it! I haven't had time to verify my identity with them. I can't count on Florian, but I hope Richard can be more supportive." Ms. Farrow held her forehead and prepared to find a small corner to hide.

Unexpectedly, the mercenary did not go to the restaurant to gather at all, but was patrolling outside looking for Ms. Farrow. As soon as he walked into the dormitory, he found Ms. Farrow hiding behind the bed.

Ms. Farrow also saw the mercenary, and they stared at each other for a few seconds before Ms. Farrow spoke first: "Naib, are you here to verify your identity?"

"If you are a hunter, why don't you gather at the restaurant?" The mercenary frowned and sharpened his knife, ready to attack Ms. Farrow.

"I'm not a hunter, I'm an apprentice. I put my skills on Emil..." Ms. Farrow realized she had let the cat out of the bag halfway through her words. The apprentice's skills would only take effect when the marked object was killed by the imitator's knife, and the deliveryman's packing would not trigger it at all.

"Prepare to die!" The mercenary rushed directly towards Ms. Farrow.

Seeing this, Ms. Farrow and the mercenary immediately started to play a duet around the bed in the dormitory, stalling for time.

On the other side, the knights and fire investigators gathered in the monitoring room were plotting in whispers.

"What should I do, Richard? I don't think Evelyn will make it to the meeting." The fire investigator pulled out his fireworks. "How about I go to the restaurant and find someone random to explode them?"

"Blow your head off. Evelyn is probably hiding in some corner. Wait until the lights are turned off, then go to the restaurant and instantly blow up Emily. She is probably the sheriff, and the gardener with her is probably the detective." The knight pinched the hand of the fire investigator who was trying to make trouble.

"Among the people who left in the last round, Matthias was a sentry, Andrew was a deliveryman, which one will Emil be? The detective team or the mysterious man?"

"I'm not sure. If he's Mysterio, it would be good for us if he turned the cards around. After all, Ada is a member of the Detective Team."

"To be honest, I can't understand why Andrew would box Emil in front of Evelyn. He didn't know if Evelyn had a knife in her hand."

"That's strange. There must be another reason. Maybe it was Evelyn who stabbed him..." The knight lowered his head and thought. "Turn off the lights first and don't let them ring the bell for the meeting."

With a click, the entire venue was plunged into darkness again. The gardener, the doctor, and the batsman, who were still in the dining room, could only slowly make their way to the power room. The psychologist, who was in the prayer hall, inched his way down the hallway.

Before turning off the lights, the doctor verified the batsman's identity as the detective team, while the three were discussing in the dark.

"Ganji, I think it's safer for us to stick together. There's definitely something wrong with Evelyn. Although one neutral person was voted out first, there may still be three imitators present." The gardener walked in front.

The doctor walked in the middle and added: "The best case scenario is that Emil was Evelyn's teammate. After Andrew boxed him away, Evelyn tried to save him, but the knife was on Matthias."

"I think we should consider the worst-case scenario. There were a lot of external positions in the last game, and Naib and Florian's speeches were pretty sloppy." The batsman followed at the back. "Emily, I've put my skills on you."

"Okay, let's go to the power room."
