Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 529: Kimono Sodaka incident three

   At noon, while Conan and Xiaolan were still watching TV and having lunch in the social hall, a police car from the Yamagata Prefectural Police Station drove into the snow village, and finally stopped in front of the Koto House Hotel.

  

   "Police officer," Officer Zhenxian's men hurriedly ran into the social hall with a report, "Something has arrived!"

  

   "Did the autopsy report come out?" Sitting on the sofa and communicating with Uncle Maori, he raised his head first.

  

   "Well, the weapon used to kill the two victims was indeed the magic knife!"

  

Hexiahui reported: “The blood stained on the headscarf was also confirmed to have been left by Anzai Ema himself. In addition, from the murder scene, the origami dolls at the kimono sleeve shrine shrine and the note paper received by Anzai Ema did not find anything suspicious. Fingerprints or other clues related to the murderer..."

  

   Gao Cheng just came back from the courtyard, looked at the worried police officer Zhenxian and Uncle Maori in the hall, and then went to the open-air bath with his hands.

  

   He has almost investigated the case. Whether it is the mystery of the murder of Anzai Ema or the murder of Shibasaki Asuka, gradually there are eyebrows, but the identity of the suspect is somewhat uncertain.

  

   The clues he has all point to the romance novelist Eri Akechi. Whether it’s his familiarity with Kotoya Inn or the kimono Hidden God, Eri Eri who has been writing here for a long time meets the conditions, including the time of the crime and the alibi.

  

   At least considering Emily Aichi, many things can be closed...

  

   "What?" Xiao Ai walked to the leisure hall and looked at Gao Cheng who was standing by the escalator and looking at the bottom of the cliff. "Have you found the prisoner?"

  

   "Almost..."

  

   Gao Cheng glanced over the open-air hot spring below and on both sides of the cliff slope.

  

  Because of the obscured vision, the pool is not visible, only the entrance to the bathhouse at the end of the escalator.

  

   Although logically Asuka was killed after Anzai Ema, the murder weapon, electric shock baton and Anzai Ema's turban were indeed found in the bathhouse.

  

   Anzai Ema was killed after 10:30, but after 10:30, no one passed through the only entrance to the bathhouse, which is the leisure hall...

  

   Gao Cheng looks at the hotel house on the other side of the lounge. There are also guest rooms and corridors on the edge of the cliff. From the lounge, you can barely see the windows and balconies facing the cliff.

  

  Since there is no way for people to go down, there are only things left. The murder weapon and the turban are sent to the bathhouse pool below separately, so that the whole case can be explained.

  

Gao Cheng was silent for a while and looked at the tourists who were having fun in the leisure hall. Many people left the room or stayed in their own room because of the fatal case. However, they would inevitably have to be questioned by the police, and they were still in their mood. Fun is great enough.

  

   "Little Ai," Gao Cheng asked suddenly, "What do you think of revenge?"

  

   Xiao Ai raised her head: "Why do you ask this suddenly? Is it because of this case?"

  

"Yesterday, although I agreed to Miss Harumi's investigation of Suzuka Sakurako," Gao Cheng said solemnly, "but there are some things I didn't tell her. After all, it was five years ago, and Suzuka Sakurako still committed suicide. Once the truth is reached, I am afraid that the two crimes of Asuka will not be convicted. Even if they are convicted, according to their family background, there will be no trouble... After all, the law is dead, and the most evil in this world is convicted of not guilty, and even the death penalty becomes a suspended death sentence. It’s not that there are only a few years in jail..."

  

"and so?"

  

   "So to some extent I can also understand the murderer of this assault..."

  

   Gao Cheng recalled a large number of cases he had handled in the past.

  

  Since he arrived in the world of Conan, in addition to his daily life, he has been solving crimes, solving crimes, and solving crimes one after another. He has even become accustomed to contact with corpses. So many cases really make him a little confused.

  

   "Then what are you going to do?" Xiao Ai looked at Gao Cheng lightly, "Let the murderer go?"

  

   "I..." Gao Cheng frowned.

  

   It is impossible for him to ignore, and Conan is also here, even without him, he can still find the truth.

  

"A crime is a crime. No matter what the reason is... the theories of the knight and the devil... these seem to be what you said?" Xiao Ai said softly, "Anyway, being a detective is enough, you too Just an ordinary person."

  

Gao Cheng smiled bitterly and looked at the preaching sorrow: "You know so much... Don't worry, I won't think too much. I only focus on the current case. Also, the theory of the knight and the devil was originally the director of the Mihua Art Museum Ochiai. Said."

  

   He cannot guarantee that he will not shield criminals in the future. After all, the world itself is also very complicated, such as the existence of Kaito Kidd, but Eri Wisei will definitely not be one of them.

  

  ……

  

   Open-air hot spring female hot spring, the police officer really led the crowd to the side in doubt, together with the confused Uncle Maori.

  

   "I said Kiddo, why did you suddenly call everyone here?"

  

   "Because the mystery of the two murders has been solved."

  

   Gao Cheng put down his phone and greeted everyone, his eyes swept over the editor Baotian and his party one by one.

  

   "First of all, the mystery of the secret room in the kimono Soujin Shrine where Miss Anzai Ema lost her life. Only Ema's own boots and shoe prints are left in the snow..."

  

   "Does this still need you to talk about it?" Uncle Maori jumped with a black face and brows, "It is because we didn't find the murderer's footprints that we became a secret room murderer. We are having a headache and we don't have time to accompany you..."

  

   "Listen to me first, uncle," Gao Cheng interrupted, "Actually, you have already discovered that Miss Ema's footprints are a bit strange. It should be pressed by something..."

  

   "Hey, don't you mean that someone stepped on those footprints to go to the ancestral hall?"

  

   "Of course not. In that case, the normal traces can only be maintained unless the foot shape is exactly the same. However, just change the way. Just like the uncle, you covered your footprints with towels, what if the murderer used a large wooden board?"

  

Gao Cheng looked at Uncle Maori and said, "If the murderer used two wooden boards and swapped the wooden boards for the footprints left by Miss Ema, he could keep the footprints as complete as possible. The price is that the entire snow will sink. It will also become shallower. Although there were several snowfalls yesterday, a careful investigation can still find traces of crushing..."

  

   "But," Han Tokyo asked, "How did the murderer get to the back door? Only Ema passed by yesterday."

  

"There is no need to go through the hall, just use the same method to detour," Gao Cheng continued, "According to my investigation, the snow on the left of the back door stepped on, and the depth of the footprints will be shallower than that on the right, because it was the same last night. Being crushed by a wooden board, the only way to avoid being spotted or leaving footprints..."

  

   "The murderer..."

  

   "Yes, the murderer came out directly from the guest room and walked to the back door using the wooden planks along the eaves, so that the traces would not be too obvious. Even if someone walked there, it would be hard to think of the murderer's technique."

  

   Gao Cheng's gaze fell on Eri Wisei in the middle of the crowd.

  

   "Mr. Eri, the traces of snow crushing extend to the front of your room!"

  

   "Ms. Hui Li?" Uncle Maori's eyes widened.

  

   "Yesterday, Eri-sensei left the open-air bath and returned to her room, and then used the method I said to kill the ancestral hall and she asked Miss Ema in the name of Bando..."

  

   "It does make sense," Eri Akechi said calmly, "but what about Asuka? How do you explain her death? I haven't been to the bathhouse since I went back to my room..."

  

   "Yes, no one will pass after 10:30!"

  

   "There is no need to go to the bathhouse at all, because Shibasaki Asuka had been killed before. The murderer only used some method to send the weapon to the bathhouse after killing Anzai Ema..."

  

"What about the origami doll?" Uncle Maori said in a deep voice, "The kimono-sleeved prajna doll appeared in front of the bathhouse after 10:30, and was sent there by the murderer? What kind of trick you said is impossible. Can do it..."

  

"The paper doll was there at the beginning. To be precise, it should be hung on the ceiling of the entrance of the bathhouse. It can be done with a small piece of dry ice. The evidence is that the paper doll was still cold when it was discovered. As for the method of delivering the murder weapon... …"

  

   Gao Cheng raised his head and looked over the cliff.

  

   "Just demonstrate it."

  

The open-air bath is surrounded by changing rooms and wooden walls. There are snow slopes above. There is a snow trail connecting the hotel room and the female bath. For those who are familiar with skiing, it is easy to slide down. , You don’t even have to deliberately control the direction.

  

   But if you are not particularly familiar with this place, it is also difficult to detect such a special place. The entire crime plan can definitely not be planned in a day or two, and it must have been tested and drilled in advance.

  

   "I see!" On the balcony above the cliff, the Ogura police officer of the Xuecun police station prepared two wooden boards on which were fixed with snow the mock weapon, electric shock stick, and Anzai turban.

  

   After receiving Gao Cheng's order, Officer Ogura immediately pushed down the planks, allowing the two planks to slide along the snow track all the way across the roof of the bathhouse, and finally fell into the female bath.

  

   As the snow ball melted, a few props remained at the bottom of the pool like a murder weapon, and the towel floated to the surface along with the wooden boards.

  

"This is the technique used by Mr. Huili yesterday. The time should be around 10:50, that is, when the uncle and Conan heard the sound of female Tangchi's crackling~www.NovelMTL.com~ Gao Cheng explained," However, the wooden boards were replaced with kimono belts frozen in this shape, so long-sleeved kimonos and other belts were left on the scene as a cover..."

  

   "This analysis really makes sense," Akechi Eri changed her face and quickly calmed down, "But why is it believed that I did it? The evidence? Is it just because of the snow in front of my room?"

  

"Ms. Ema's earring pendant with one ear disappeared from the scene," Gao Cheng said on his own. Take off your shoes, and the sole of your foot is still bleeding because of the stabbing... Yes, you accidentally stepped on the earrings she dropped when you killed Anzai Ema..."

  

   Akechi Eri's eyes shrank sharply.

  

   She didn't expect that someone would see her plan that she had spent a long time in. It was obviously just a few small details, but when she got here, she brought out the truth of the whole incident, like a sharp sword hanging over her head.

  

   "You, what evidence do you have that I was stabbed by an earring?" Eri Akechi's voice trembled slightly.

  

"I didn't look for evidence. This is already the job of the police." Gao Sung put his hands in and walked out of the bathhouse, and finally looked at Eri Akechi. "Just now, the information was found in Tokyo and he committed suicide 5 years ago. The original name of Suzuka Sakurako was Ming Sakurako. Before she was adopted by the Suzuka family, she had an older sister. Your last name is not wise but Ming. This is your motive for murder, right?."
