Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 528: Kimono Sodaka incident 2

In the social hall of the hotel, Bao Tian and his party did not go to the living room to wait, but still sat on the sofa in the lobby, the atmosphere was silent.

  

When Uncle Maori came to look for him, his face was already a little tired. He looked at Gao Chengdao, who went to the ancestral hall and came back: "I have seen it. There are no suspicious traces on the cliff. It should be obvious if someone bypasses the leisure hall to the open-air hot spring. It's right to see...

  

   "In addition, the lady boss also confirmed just now that the murderous knife found in the bathhouse is the magic knife originally enshrined in the ancestral hall..."

  

Uncle    said in a deep voice: "With the **** headscarf of Miss Ema in the pool, if it is used to cover the murderous knife, the order of attack should be Miss Ema first and then Miss Asuka."

  

   "But how did the murderer do it?" Harumi Fukatsu grabbed her fingers tightly, "Maybe it is the curse of the kimono sleeve god, only the kimono sleeve **** can do this..."

  

   "That," Xiaolan hesitated, "During the day, we did see it in the shrine of the shrine in the village. There are two new dolls dedicated to the **** of kimono sleeves..."

  

   Gao Cheng glanced at Xiao Lan.

  

He also saw the ancestral hall of    Shrine and said that if you wear a long-sleeved kimono to worship in the middle of the night, you can't avenge your revenge, and the kimono sleeve **** will help you revenge.

  

   Sure enough, it's pretending to be a god, and the murderer takes so much trouble to make people think about the curse of the kimono sleeve god, right?

  

   In the early hours of the next morning, when the genius came to light, an elderly police officer from the Yamagata County police came to the scene, and the forensic personnel quickly collected evidence on the spot.

  

   "In other words, Shibusaki Asuka entered the open-air bath at about 10 pm, and Anzai Ema entered the ancestral hall in the courtyard at about 10:30..."

  

   The 59-year-old Jinxian Police Department made up the comparison of the hotel map and concluded: "Both of them died on the same magic knife. Later, the murder knife was found in the open-air bath, right?"

  

   "Also," Uncle Maori added, "On the outside of the ancestral hall there are only the shoe prints of Miss Ema. On the other side, you must pass through the leisure hall to reach the open-air bath, but there were always people in the leisure hall at that time..."

  

   "It's really terrible," Zhenxian asked the police department to make up for the headache. "Are they both murders in closed rooms?"

  

   "Police Officer Zhenxian!" A policeman suddenly ran from the ancestral hall outside, and after whispering to Zhenxian's side for a while, he handed over several document bags to Zhenxian.

  

   Gao Cheng looked at it, and it seemed to be a piece of paper and an earring pendant.

  

  I didn’t have the same height for too long. I really showed the earring pendant directly to everyone: “This is an earring found on the body of Anxi Ema, and the other one is not there...”

  

   "Ah," Editor Yasuda said in surprise, "This is a brand-name earring! One is worth at least 200,000 yuan. Speaking of Spring Beauty, there are also this type of pendant..."

  

   Fukatsu Harumi hurriedly explained: "That's right, but because Ema is unhappy every time I see it, I put it away..."

  

"Is that right?"

  

   Police officer Zhenxian did not continue questioning, but discussed the scene with his subordinates.

  

   "The long-sleeved kimonos and belts on site were originally stored in the storeroom of the hotel, but that storeroom is usually not locked..."

  

"Everyone," after talking a few words, I really sink my heart and turn to the people. "Now we have to confirm the whereabouts of everyone last night. First of all, Miss Eri Akechi. Let's start with you. It seems that you entered at about 9:30. The bathhouse, and then leave around 10 o'clock, Shibasaki Asuka is the bathhouse that entered after you..."

  

   "Yes," Eri Akechi, who was sitting on the sofa, nodded slightly, "Later, I went back to my room, and I ran into Mr. Mori and the others..."

  

   "That's true," Uncle Maori stunned, "I met after 10 o'clock. We were just going to take a bath..."

  

   "Hmm, then Ms. Yasuko Yasuda." Officer Zhenxian turned to the editor Yasuda next to Eri Akechi, "You stayed here to sort out the content of the interview until 9:30, right?"

  

   "Yes, I saw Eri at the time, and after about 5 minutes, Ema walked to the back door alone."

  

   "That was about 10 and a half years... Besides, did you see anyone else walking toward the back door?"

  

   "No, just Ema one."

  

   Gao Cheng quietly looked at the editors of Baotian.

  

The sign of the reserved place is from 10 am to 11 am, and the door was locked from the inside. Xiaolan and Harumi Fukatsu were going to the recreation hall to play table tennis. It was also at that time. Conan heard a popping sound while taking a bath next door. The sound of crackling, the time is about 10:50.

  

   "Did Miss Xiaolan and Miss Chunmei stay in the leisure center all the time?" Police Officer Jinxian continued to ask.

  

   "No," Fukatsu Harumi shook her head, "I went back to the room once because I forgot to replace the contact lenses. I stayed for about 10 minutes..."

  

   "Then Mr. Mori left the bathroom at 11 o'clock," Officer Jinxian thought, touching his chin, "Ms. Laizi and Ms. Eri are meeting here at this time. Where is Mr. Bando?"

  

   Tokyo Ichiban explained: "I came here around 11:15 to talk about things, and then Mr. Mori ran here to explain that Nikka was killed in the bathhouse..."

  

   "The time will be connected," Zhen first nodded slightly, "Miss Xiaolan, that kimono sleeve prajna doll, you didn't see it in the first time, but only found out when you went to the bathhouse for the second time?"

  

   "Hmm!" Xiaolan affirmed, "The kimono sleeve Prajna doll was still cold at the time, as if it had just been taken out of the snow!"

  

   "But to come back," Gao Cheng asked, "How could Miss Ema go to a place like an ancestral hall alone?"

  

I really smiled first, and took out the ID bag: "We found this in Miss Ema's pocket,'Miss Ema, I have a little secret to tell you. I am in the ancestral hall in the courtyard at 10:30 this evening. Waiting for you, Bando Go'..."

  

   "Nonsense!" Han Tokyo's expression changed drastically, "How could I write this kind of letter?!"

  

   "But the actual situation is that you don't seem to have an alibi before 11:15..."

  

   "This... I have no motive to kill Asuka and Ema-san at all!"

  

"That's it," Zhen first nodded and turned to Fukatsu Harumi, "If you consider the motive, the only motive for killing is Miss Harumi, because you have always hated them, thinking that they killed your senior sister, plus There was no alibi in the 10 minutes you went back to the room..."

  

   "How, how?" Fukatsu Harumi responded fiercely, "I am not a murderer! I did not kill the two of them!"

  

   After the interrogation, several editors Baotian returned to their rooms one after another, and Gao Cheng also planned to investigate the scene again.

  

   "Miss Harumi," Gao Cheng looked at Harumi Fukatsu who was worried and absent, "You seem to care about that Suzuka-senpai."

  

   "Well," Fukatsu Harumi regained her senses, "I have both died of my parents since I was a child. It was my uncle and aunt who raised me. Sakurako's parents died accidentally when she was young, so she always took special care of me..."

  

   "It turned out to be like this."

  

   Gao Cheng and Fukatsu Harumi separated and went to the ancestral hall to investigate again.

  

   To be honest, he doesn't like a woman with a personality like Fukatsu Harumi very much. She looks weak and hopes others to help her. It's just another form of self-centeredness.

  

  It is much better for girls like Xiaolan, Yuanzi and Heye.

  

   But...

  

   In this case, he almost had a little speculation in his mind, including the murderer of Asuka and Ema.

  

  Using the unique hotel environment to design two seemingly perfect secret room murders, they exposed a lot of information.

  

  The use of the legend of the kimono sleeve god, the use of the hotel environment...all fully illustrate one point. If you don't stay in the hotel for a long time, if you don't know enough about it, you can't design such a sophisticated crime.

  

   Although the storage room for the long-sleeved kimono is not locked, no one knows what is in it.

  

   There are also seemingly inexplicable killing sequences.

  

  Due to environmental reasons, it is impossible to tell whether Asuka and Ema died. All clues indicate that Ema was killed first...

  

   Holmes said that all the impossible is eliminated. No matter how incredible the rest is, it is the truth, but what if the unbelievable truth that remains is also one of the impossible to be eliminated?

  

The    elimination method does not solve all the problems ~www.NovelMTL.com~ but through clue deduction, we can still find the slightest possibility in the mystery.

  

   Starting from the purpose of the criminal's technique and thinking backwards, he has seen this investigative method in many mystery novels and world-famous mystery cases, and he has solved many cases by relying on this in the past.

  

  Return to the origin.

  

   There are two problems now. The first is the footprints in the courtyard, and the second is that no one has been to the female bath in the open-air bath after 10:30, which is the presumed time of crime. Under normal circumstances, the murderer cannot be present at the scene of the murder.

  

In addition, the key to the problem is the order in which Asuka and Ema were killed. From a logical point of view, Asuka in the bathhouse should have been killed before 10:30, which is before Anzai Ema, but Anzai was the murder weapon used to kill Anzai Ema. Ema's turban appeared in the bathhouse.

  

   Solve the problem of footprints first.

  

   Gao Cheng walked back to the back door of the hall along the footsteps of Anzai Ema in the yard, his eyes turned to the sides.
