Chapter 669 Conan: This Familiar Taste Again

PreviousBack to directoryNext
It is said that children's words are unbridled. Sometimes it's not that the other party says the wrong thing, but that it's because they are unable to read the current atmosphere and understand the current scene.

Even if it is true, speaking it out at an inappropriate time can have negative consequences.

Just like now, everyone was still anxious about not being able to go out, but with the words of Mitsuhiko and Genta, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

The missing Asao Kawasaki has already died, and it was a murder. Now that everyone is trapped here with malicious intent, could someone want revenge?

In this situation, it is normal to think in the most malicious direction, right?

Once suspicion sprouts in the mind, what will happen next has been written in almost all mystery novels.

It's nothing more than the old-fashioned routine of everyone being suspicious, and then the murderer starts taking advantage of the chaos to kill people.

But the reason why it can always exist is because of the ugliness of the human heart.

Maybe it was because he knew this that he wanted to organize the two little ones to expose this information.

It's a pity that this point must be revealed in terms of "plot driving force". The two little guys were very quick to talk and revealed this matter.

Not only the two little ones, but also the boss Tian Tulingsi on the side seemed to think that the atmosphere was not sharp enough, and poured some oil on it again.

"By the way, speaking of which, I just saw something over there with the skeleton."

Tian Tu Lingsi looked at the little ones and said, "I think you should have discovered that.

On top of that handkerchief, there are these four long cigarettes and two short cigarettes, those were also left by Asao, right?"

"Hey! Could this be the so-called "death message"?" Futagawa Hajime couldn't help but guess after hearing the boss's words.

But it was this guess that made the other two people couldn't help but be surprised.

"No way!" Nonomiya Etsuko, who was lying on the table and started drinking again the next moment, slapped the table and stood up and murmured: "It's definitely not a death message, it must be Asao trying to fake his death to scare me.

It’s just a prop!”

Nonomiya Etsuko staggered towards the stairs and kept muttering, "Asao, he will definitely not die like this!"

Although what he did was excessive, he would never die in such an unknown way."

Unwilling to accept the reality, Nonomiya Etsuko laughed and stepped onto the stairs, "What a lovely man~"

Seeing this woman who was unwilling to accept reality and even started to act a little crazy, everyone couldn't help but sigh, hoping that this woman who had lost her lover could come out soon.

"Anyway, it's getting late now, and we can't leave. We'd better stay here and wait until dawn." After Tang Ze finished explaining the information, he finally suggested to everyone present that they should leave.

It's said to be a crowd, but it's actually just two people, Futakawa Hajime and Gogami Heihachi.

It happened that both of them had this plan. After hearing Tangze's words, they nodded and went upstairs to their rooms with their own thoughts.

After returning to the room, the props may be different, but everyone is unanimously trying to decipher the "death message" behind the six cigarettes, "four long and two short".

Kanji, katakana, abbreviated letters...

Conan began to try various methods one by one, but when he speculated that this might be pointing to Mr. Futakawa, whose English abbreviation is "F·H", and was about to discuss it with Karasawa, he found...

No one is here!?

"Where's Karaze Criminal?"

Conan looked at Miyano Akemi, who was not participating in the reasoning, but was cooking instant noodles for everyone, and cast a questioning look.

He had just been having a heated discussion with the little ones and Dr. A Li, and coupled with the interruption of the little ones' unreliable reasoning, he really thought that Tang Ze was just thinking on the sidelines and did not participate in the discussion.

Who knew that if you just turn your face, the other person will disappear.

"He just said he was going out." Miyano Akemi was waiting for the hot water in the two electric kettles beside her to boil, while unpacking the instant noodles and putting the seasonings into each bowl.

"Going out? Where has he been?" Conan asked quickly: "Approximately how long has he been out?"

"Well...he went out after giving me the borrowed kettle." Miyano Akemi clapped her hands and answered Conan's words while starting to pack away the packaging bags thrown aside in front of the table.

"So long!?" Conan was shocked when he heard this and ran out quickly to find Tangze and confirm what he had done.

However, when he walked downstairs with a few other little ones on his short legs, he saw Karasawa leading Heihachi Ogami, who was pulling him like a dead dog, and Futagawa Hajime, who was cursing next to him, walking back from outside.

Moreover, she happened to bump into Nonomiya Etsuko who was about to go out.

"Hey, it's so lively? It seems that everyone is not at peace."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Tang Ze smiled and said hello, then placed the short-handled shotgun in his hand on the coffee table in front of him.

"What...what on earth is going on..." Looking at the murder weapon placed on the table, Tian Tu Lingsi asked in fear with a cold sweat breaking out.

"That's right, and there is such a thing as a shotgun..." Ayumi also had a look of fear on her face.

"What happened! Karasawa Criminal!" Mitsuhiko and Genta also shouted, hoping that Karasawa could answer them.

Only Conan on the side had his eyes drooped, as if he had foreseen something. He instantly lost all his motivation and became a salty fish that didn't even bother to turn over.

Well...it still smells very familiar...

"It just so happens that everyone has arrived, so I'll give you an overview of the situation."

Karasawa lowered his right hand to signal everyone to be quiet and then said: "To put it simply, the criminal who killed Asao Kawasaki was Heihachi Gogami.

Mr. Hajime Futakawa discovered this and was saved by me when he was almost silenced by Gogami Heihachi."

"What, Mr. Gogami is actually a prisoner!" Gentai exclaimed.

"This is the guy who killed Asao!!?" Nonomiya Etsuko looked at Gogami Heihachi with hatred: "Why! Why did he kill Asao!!"

"But why did he want to kill Mr. Futokawa?" Mitsuhiko couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Futokawa and Mr. Gogami are companions, right?"

"What else could it be? This guy Gogami not only killed Ma Xiong, but also wanted to kill me who knew the truth. In the end, he was subdued by Karasawa Criminal."

After Futakawa Hajime said this, he glanced angrily at Ongami Heihachi, who was lying on the ground as unconscious as a dead dog.

"However, when we were reasoning just now, Conan said that the suspect might be Mr. Futakawa, and only his initials "F·H" can be spelled out with six cigarettes, four long and two short..."

Mitsuhiko on the side heard Futakawa Hajime's words and asked with some confusion: "Why is Mr. Gogami the prisoner? Is this different from the "death message" left by Mr. Asao?"

After hearing Mitsuhiko's words, Futakawa Hajime, who was almost killed, immediately said angrily: "What do children know? I was almost killed just now!"

And this is not a reasoning game for you to play house!!

Your reasoning makes no sense at all and is completely wrong!!”

"Then how do you explain it? Six cigarettes can only spell the abbreviation of your name "F·H"?" Ayumi on the side asked angrily when she heard the other party belittle Conan.

"That's just an error in the "death message" left by Asao!"

Futakawa Hajime snorted: "And I discovered this mistake and discovered the information he really pointed to the prisoner!"

"Isn't what you said just to justify yourself?" Yuantai heard this and Futakawa Hajime had a suspicious look on his face.

"I told you that I was almost killed!" Hajime Futakawa said angrily: "Since you don't believe it, let me tell you the truth."

Having said this, Erchuan Hao looked at Tian Tu Lingsi and said: "Boss, could you please help me find the passenger registration book?"

"It's okay...but what do you want to do?" Hearing this, Tiantu Lingsi found the somewhat old registration book from the front desk and handed it to Futakawa Hajime.

"Of course I have to explain to these brats!" Hajime Futakawa took the passenger registration book and turned to the page with his, Gogami's and Asao's names.

"Did you see that? Our names were registered after Ma Xiong!" Futakawa Hajime stretched out his hand to unfold the registration book and showed the names on it to everyone.

"But what does this mean?" Ayumi asked with a puzzled expression on her face as she looked at the registration form.

"If it is registered after Mr. Asao, that means Mr. Asao may only know that the pronunciation of "Goshang" is "MICAMI" but does not know how to write it."

When Conan saw this, he already understood the error in his previous reasoning, or it could be said that it was a misjudgment caused by a lack of intelligence.

Looking at the other three little ones who were still confused, Conan smiled and explained: "You see, Mr. Gogami's "Go" character is Mitarai's "Go" character.

But if you only know the pronunciation but not the writing, it’s easy to mistake it for “Mikami”, right?”

"If Mr. Asao mistook "Gogami" for "Mikami" who spoke the same language, he would naturally have left six cigarettes in four lengths and two sections."

Haiyuan on the side agreed: "This can just form the word "三上"."

"Yes, that's it."

Futakawa Hajime nodded and said: "The reason why I was able to discover this is because I knew how to write that guy's name from the beginning.

Later, when I was laying out cigarette butts, I laid out the name "Mikami", which sounds the same as "Gogami", and then I realized that Asao seemed to have misunderstood something.

Then I checked the registration book at the front desk to confirm this, but I didn’t expect that the guy at the top actually..."

"What you do is simply that evil deeds are rewarded with evil consequences."

Tang Ze heard the other party's evasive answer and said unceremoniously: "Why didn't you say something about wanting to blackmail others out of greed?

If it wasn't like this, you wouldn't have given people such a good opportunity to kill people and silence them..."

Hearing Karasawa's unceremonious rebuke to him, Futagawa Haoshiro smiled awkwardly, but did not dare to refute.

Not to mention that the other party saved his life. At that time, his skills were just like his own. Ten of him probably wouldn't be enough to defeat him.

Moreover, given the other party's criminal status, it is only natural for him to teach him a lesson.

Thinking that he might be arrested for extortion after leaving, Hajime Futakawa looked unlucky.

This time it was really "stealing chicken but losing rice". I originally thought that I could use this secret to extort a large sum of money from the other party. Who knew that the guy on the imperial court was more cruel than I thought, and actually wanted to kill me directly to silence him...

This time it was bad luck, he was caught directly and he was also unlucky...

"So, did he also send the invitation letter?"

Mitsuhiko looked at Futakawa in disgust and said, "I sent an invitation letter in Mr. Asao's name to call everyone here just to tell Mr. Gogami that he knew about Asao being killed by him so that he could blackmail him easily!"

"No, I think Mr. Futakawa is not the one who sent the invitation letter."

Conan shook his head and denied, "Because Mr. Futakawa only discovered this secret after he learned about the "death message" we discovered."

"Is that Miss Nonomiya?"

Dr. Agasa looked at Etsuko Nonomiya who was drunk and said: "Could it be that she suspected that one of the two emperors had killed Mr. Asao, so she sent the invitation letter in the name of her lover and wanted to investigate?

What a murderer..."

"Not me either!"

The news of Asao's death and the arrest of the real murderer had already made Etsuko Nonomiya sober. After hearing Dr. Agasa's words, she shook her head and denied it.

Hearing Nonomiya Etsuko's words, everyone unanimously focused their attention on the boss Tenturyoji.

Now that the case has come to an end and the truth has come to light, there is really no need for the two of them to lie. After all, this is not a criminal act.

It was too late for Yu Shang to hide here, and there was no need to send invitations and call unsuspecting people over, thereby increasing the risk of exposing himself.

So now it seems that only Tiantu Lingsi, the hotel owner, is left.

"That's right, I sent the invitation letter to you under the guise of Ma Xiong." Tian Tu Lingsi bowed and apologized: "At the same time, I also hid the phone line, and I also deflated the car tires...

I’m really sorry for causing you trouble!!”

"Eh? Why is it you, the boss of Tiantu?"

Everyone looked at Tian Tu Ling Si who bowed and apologized with surprised expressions on their faces.

Because if Karasawa hadn't stopped Gogami Heihachi from killing someone in time, then he would have acted as if he was in cahoots with him.

"I think the boss discovered the "death message" of Mr. Asao's skeleton, ring and cigarette butts that disappeared here a year ago."

Tangze said: "After all, as the boss here, it would be even weirder if the skeletons on the grass were not found.

After all, those skeletons have no trace of burial at all, and even children can accidentally discover them. You, who live here and run a hotel, are the first to discover the skeletons."

"And if it wasn't like this, boss you wouldn't have said so accurately that there were six cigarette butts in "four lengths and two sections" after seeing the cigarette butts."

Conan added in agreement.

"Yes, those were indeed the first ones I discovered..." Tian Tu Lingsi nodded slowly and expressed his intention.
