Just when they finished searching the room and were about to search the entire manor, it started to rain again.

The rumble of thunder entered the village with a muffled sound. Furukawa Kumisa opened the heavy curtains in the corridor and took a look at the downpour outside the window.

Xiaoxun led them downstairs, listening to the sound of rain outside, and said worriedly: "I just put away the tarpaulin to protect the rain this morning. If this rainstorm doesn't stop, my father will go out and put away the tarpaulin soon."

It’s covered.”

Furukawa Kumisa asked sincerely: "How long has Butler Hiranuma been working in this manor?"

Xiaoxun was stunned for a moment, as if he had not thought about this problem, "My father seems to have been working here since I can remember... I often came to this manor to play when I was a child..."

Xiaoxun is no more than 20 years old now, so it seems that Butler Hiranuma has been working here since at least fifteen or sixteen years ago.

Hearing her ask about the past, Xiaoxun also started chatting, "I remember that the master craftsman had always lived in this manor since I was six years old. At that time, this house had not been transformed into a winery.

, the young masters are also about the same age as me, and they often take me to hide and seek in the manor.

"Later, the young masters were sent to study abroad one after another by the master, and they didn't come back even once for several years. Gradually, we became unfamiliar with them."

Furukawa Kumisa glanced at her, "No wonder Xiaoxun didn't show too much sadness for the death of the two brothers from the Amakusa family.

"The master's first wife left early. After the young masters went abroad, he married another wife. This house was also transformed into a winery according to the wishes of that wife.

"But within a few years, the lady also passed away - before she even had time to meet the young masters."

Furukawa Kumisa became interested in this mysterious lady: "Did Mr. Shouchang's wife... have known him before?"

Xiaoxun shook his head: "I don't know too well...I was studying outside at that time. I heard from other housemaid wives in the manor that it seemed that the master brought the lady back very suddenly, and there was no wedding ceremony.

Like that, we treat her as the mistress of the manor."

It sounds more mysterious.

"What's that lady's name?"

"I don't know the lady's maiden name, but her name seems to be Meixiang, and everyone calls her Mrs. Meixiang."

After saying this, Xiaoxun paused, "But once I went back to the manor to visit my father, and I bumped into her once. I heard the old man call Mrs. Meixiang an English name... called Tenasi? I remember this name very clearly, and I also remembered it later.

I looked it up and found that it is the name of a whiskey. Maybe Mrs. Meixiang is of mixed race."

Furukawa Kumisa raised his eyes slightly, looked at Toru Amuro next to him, and then said calmly: "Is this so?"

The English wine name... is probably the organization code name.

It seems that the previous guess about the identity of Amakusa Shutakusho was correct - he is indeed one of the capitalists supported by the organization.

And the "Mrs. Meixiang" who came back with him later was probably a member sent by the organization, and the two of them lived together in the name of husband and wife, hiding from others.

As for why the "Mrs. Meixiang" also passed away later... this is better explained. After all, members of the organization often lose members, and it was probably this Tenasi who lost his life while performing other tasks.

"Mrs. Meixiang is also a hard-working person," Xiaoxun sighed. "I heard that the entire manor didn't respect her very much. Only my father, Butler Hiranuma, treated her as a 'madam'..."

…It’s a pity that she also passed away within a few years.”

As he spoke, Xiaoxun shook his head: "I don't know if it's because the two wives left early. Mr. Shoujiang never married again and has been living here alone. My father is the only one who can live alone with him.

Say a few words."

Toru Amuro asked along the way: "Do Butler Hiranuma and Mr. Shouchou have a good relationship?"

Xiaoxun nodded: "Yes, my father has served the Amakusa family for many years, and he has a very close relationship with Master Shouchang. He was also very sad at Master Shouchang's funeral."

Furukawa Kumisa knew why Toru Amuro asked this question. He probably wanted to test whether Hiranuma Butler was a member of the organization, but judging from the current clues, it was not yet certain.

The information about Amakusa Shouchang was almost exhausted, so the three of them let Xiaoxun continue to do his own business, and they continued to search and verify inside and outside the manor.

During the division of labor, Edogawa Conan rarely acted coquettishly and insisted on going with Furukawa Kumisa, but quietly picked a place by himself and went there.

Not to mention Furukawa Kumisa, even Amuro Toru couldn't help but glance at him, but the small figure ignored their glances and turned around and fled into the darkness.

Toru Amuro couldn't help but asked Furukawa Kumisa: "Conan-kun...is there something on your mind?"

Furukawa Kumisa blinked at him innocently: "I don't know."

Needless to say, the efficiency of the three people's actions goes without saying, not to mention that some rooms on the first floor, such as the concert hall and restaurant, have been investigated by them before, and the workload is not heavy.

Not long after, Edogawa Conan came towards them holding a red plastic bottle.

"This is something I found in the storage room. It has no name, but when used on daily necessities, the red label represents 'warning' and 'stay away'."

Furukawa Kumisa looked at the bottle and thought: "I remember this. Last night you went to the concert hall first. I fell asleep before going downstairs. I happened to see Xiaoxun holding this bottle and saying that it contained... pesticides.

!”

Toru Amuro smiled slightly: "It's a very suitable liquid for making poison, isn't it?"

Before Furukawa Kumisa said anything, suddenly a middle-aged male voice came from behind them.

"Mr. Amuro is right."

The hairs all over Furukawa Kumisa's body stood up in an instant, and when he turned around in surprise, he saw Butler Hiranuma standing behind them, with a very respectful attitude.

He replied with a normal expression: "This is a pesticide carefully prepared by the master craftsman. It is specifically used on the grapevines in the manor. It is indeed toxic."

Edogawa Conan asked: "What are the symptoms of poisoning?"

Butler Hiranuma remained calm: "I don't know, because this bottle of pesticide is always kept with the matching antidote. If you accidentally swallow it, you can take the antidote directly to detoxify."

"Antidote?"

"The antidote specially formulated for the toxins in pesticides will not be affected in any way as long as you take the antidote within half an hour."

Furukawa Kumisa raised his eyebrows: "Where do you usually keep this bottle of poison and the accompanying antidote?"

"They are usually placed in the greenhouse outside. Just in case, there is always a bottle of pesticide antidote in the first aid kit indoors."

Butler Hiranuma's tone was flat from beginning to end, without any fluctuation. It seemed that the object of discussion was not a bottle of poison, but ordinary white water.

Furukawa Kumisa frowned: "Butler Hiranuma, that's what we're talking about. Don't you want to go and have a look in the flower room? Now that the poison has been brought in, it may even become a poisoning tool for the murderer, so why don't you go check it out?

Is it more appropriate to check the integrity of the antidote?"

"Since Officer Furukawa suggested it, I'll go check it out first."

Seeing the figure of Butler Hiranuma walking out of the door, Furukawa Kumisa lowered his voice and said: "This Butler Hiranuma walked behind us... did any of you notice it?"

This was the reason why she was suddenly frightened just now - before Butler Hiranuma spoke, she didn't even realize that there was anyone standing behind her.

Edogawa Conan was the first to shake his head: "No."

Furukawa Kumisa: ...You asked the wrong person. Your back has always been your blind spot.

She looked at Toru Amuro and saw that the other person's expression also darkened: "Neither did I. What Furukawa-san meant..."

Furukawa Kumisa smiled slightly: "It seems that the Hiranuma Butler is not as ordinary as he seems."

Not long after, the hall door was pushed open again, and Butler Hiranuma, who was holding an umbrella, walked in, took the umbrella in his hand, and put it into the umbrella bucket next to him.

There was nothing in his hands, and he looked at the three of them with a very regretful look: "I'm very sorry, Officer Furukawa's suspicion is correct, the antidote to the pesticide is missing."

Furukawa Kumisa expected this, and she sighed: "Looking at it this way, the antidote in the first aid kit is probably gone."

Butler Hiranuma said very calmly: "I will let Xiaoxun look for it."

Furukawa Kumisa opened the bottle of pesticide and handed it to Butler Hiranuma: "I wonder if Butler Hiranuma still remembers the remaining amount of pesticide after the last use? Does it match the current remaining amount?"

Butler Hiranuma shook his head: "It's not my job to tend the vineyard. Maybe I can only ask the previous gardener this question."

But most of the servants in the manor have left after the death of Amakusa Shutaku.

This issue could only be left alone. Butler Hiranuma nodded to them and went about his work.

Furukawa Kumisa looked at his leaving figure and frowned.

This Hiranuma Butler... didn't seem to care about the murders that occurred in the manor, and he didn't actively cooperate with their search work. He would only slowly carry out everything according to their requests after they mentioned it.

In terms of his disregard for human life, this Hiranuma butler looks very much like a member of the organization.

She glanced at Toru Amuro next to her and read the same assumption in his eyes.

——According to what Gin said, there are three permanent members of the organization in the manor, and one of them is now most likely to be the Amakusa Shutakushu himself... and the second one may be the mysterious Hiranuma Butler.

So who will be the third one?

Among these three people, who is the traitor who leaked the secrets of the organization?

"Host, are you very interested in organizing this task?"

As if knowing that she was in a bad mood, the system had been silent since just now, and now it finally spoke.

"Put aside the mission of the organization for now, but the identity of the traitor is crucial."

"Why?"

"Because I want to use him to gain Jiang Gu Ling's favor."

Now that the other party has contacted the police and passed on the news, he has no other way out.

If she can prevent this traitor from being killed, he will most likely become a "tainted witness" in the destruction of the organization in the future.

Nowadays, the contact between Furukawa Kumisa and Furitan Rei is still too little. Since the last time with Ehara Tetsuya, he has never assigned her any other tasks.

She can't sit still and wait for death, she must take the initiative to gain favor.

The most direct way to gain favor is to do things for the police - such as protecting this "tainted witness".

So she was eager to find the traitor hiding in the manor, protect him, and hand him over to Jiang Guling to gain favor.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Toru Amuro, who was also meditating next to her.

In this matter, her and his goals were completely opposite.

——No, it’s not just this.
