Chapter 390 The Death of the Lamb (Part 2)
[Archer: Why are you stealing my lines?]
[Night Watchman: Sister Fiona has goat horns, goat = priest, no problem.]
[The Prophet: Herald of Yog-Sothoth costume seems to actually have goat hooves.]
[Crybaby: Then Mr. Jeffrey also has horns and hooves.]
[Lame Sheep: That doesn’t seem to be wrong...]
Conan was silent for a moment. He had guessed it when he saw Ms. Lamb's body. Five nearly parallel blade wounds—only one person on Melody's side could have inflicted such wounds.
Jack, the cruel Ripper, didn't just rip Ms. Lamb open, but simply let her die from excessive blood loss, and even covered her eyes with gold coins as a sign of mourning.
Conan rubbed his eyebrows. He felt that what Jack could do was too cruel, so much so that he actually thought that death from excessive blood loss was a simple way to die.
But the problem is, according to the information Judy and the detectives found out, Melody and Jack went out early in the morning and haven't returned yet. How did they come back here to commit the crime?
"I finally understand. While the photographer and the Umbrella Soul are in similar situations, it's clear the photographer is a bit crazier." The perfumer sighed. "Forget Worry Fragrance, when will I truly complete this masterpiece?"
The scene was quickly cordoned off, and Conan had to return to the car to report the situation to the FBI.
"It seems most of the servants in the Melody family mansion were killed. Ms. Lamb was also killed. Ms. Galatea is missing. Melody and Jack seem to have alibis. Ms. Vera should be taken in by the police for investigation."
"But I can be sure that Jack was the one who killed Ms. Lamb. Those scars are unique and could not have been forged by someone else."
Judy frowned. "Alibi? Could it be that someone with special abilities is helping?"
"I think it's unlikely. As far as I know, the only one in the Oredis organization who has the ability to teleport is Miss Fiona. She has already left the Melody Family and it's impossible for her to help at this time."
"There's another thing I'm concerned about..." Conan lowered his head in thought. "Why did Mr. Norton come to the Melody family mansion alone? Who was he looking for? Why did he leave so soon?"
"Perhaps there's something else going on here," Judy pondered. "Regardless, this case has a significant impact, and the police will likely be actively investigating."
"By the way, don't you have Mr. Campbell's phone number? You can ask him what's going on, such as if there's anything unusual in the Melody family's mansion." Cameron suggested.
Conan thought it made sense, so he called. However, this time it wasn't the prospector who answered the phone, but a familiar male voice with the sound of ore rubbing against each other.
"Hello, little detective."
Conan was shocked. The sound of Fool's Gold was always accompanied by the sound of ore friction, so it was very recognizable. (This was also one of the reasons why Conan had never recognized that Fool's Gold and the prospector were the same person.)
"Fool's Gold! Why is Mr. Norton's phone in your hand?"
The people in the car were also frightened by Conan's exclamation, and Conan immediately set his phone to loud speaker.
"Hehehe, judging from your reaction, someone should have abided by the agreement with me." Fool Gold's hoarse laughter came over.
Kaito Kidd: A-choo!
"So, what do you want to know from him? Do you want to know why he came to the Melody family mansion? Or do you want to find out about the Glittering Gold Grotto?"
Conan broke out in a cold sweat, as Fool's Gold seemed to have fully grasped the question he wanted to ask.
"Aren't you on the side of Mr. Xie and Mr. Fan? Why are you involved with the Melody family?" Conan asked another question.
"Oh, when did I say I was on their side? I've always been on the side of money. You should be thankful that my employer didn't ask you to take action. She's so kind."
Conan recalled the philanthropist's evaluation of Fool's Gold: "A pair of employee and employer who are blinded by money and collude with nightmares."
"What have you done with Mr. Norton?"
"Oh, him, he might...can't talk to you normally right now."
"you!"
"Didn't Mrs. Pliny receive a warning long ago? It's his own fault that he was caught off guard." Fool's Gold laughed wildly. "Dear Director, you really should pay attention to what's hidden at the bottom of that mine he's been neglecting, haha."
"Oh, by the way, Director Campbell seems to have ordered a set of commemorative coins for his mining company. I like them very much, so I kept two of them in Melody's mansion. Have you seen them?"
Conan was stunned for a moment, then immediately remembered the two gold coins that were placed on the reporter's eyes: "So that was you who did it!"
"Ah, let me make it clear in advance that I did not participate in that massacre. I am not interested in killing ordinary people."
"By the way, you just mentioned the Glittering Caverns. Are you related to that place?" Conan asked quickly.
"You can definitely ask Lady Pliny. Campbell's gone now, and if she doesn't take this opportunity to come clean, she'll be next." Fool's Gold's tone turned cold. "Now you can look forward to your favorite detective segment."
There was a busy tone on the phone, obviously the other party had hung up, but Conan was still standing there in a daze, unable to believe the fact that the explorer had also been "murdered".
[Fool's Gold: Just kidding, I killed myself.]
[Entomologist: Your double act is quite interesting.]
[Composer: In a way, he hasn't lied yet. After all, you are talking to Conan as "Fool's Gold", so the "Explorer" can't speak now.]
[Novelist: Let's expose the matter of the Glittering Gold Grotto and let them investigate. You've already "disappeared" anyway.]
[Composer: Remember to write a will and transfer your mining company's accounts to my name.]
[Fool's Gold: I feel like you got it cheap, but it's better than giving it to Orpheus.]
[Madam Red: So this is preparation but not complete?]
[Novelist: I'm always the worst option for you, right?]
[Fool's Gold: If there was an event where you could get a million for slapping someone, you'd be the first choice.]
[Entomologist: That's something you can do.]
"Calm down, kid," Akai Shuichi warned. "Right now, what you need to pay most attention to is the subsequent investigation of the case. You've had contact with Ms. Lamb, so you have the opportunity to participate in the investigation."
Conan nodded, then got out of the car. Facing the blood-red setting sun, he rode his scooter towards the Mouri Detective Agency.
However, it is obvious that the case related to the Oritis Manor and Melody has attracted the attention of the public security personnel. After all, Toru Amuro has long wanted to go to the Melody family mansion for investigation openly. Although this is only a temporary mansion, it may hide some secrets.
The next morning, the public security officials invited quite a few people involved in the case to the Metropolitan Police Department.
