Chapter 0918 Hot Spring House Incident(1/2)
Saturday, April 8, Mizuko-cho, Ligan-gun, Gunma Prefecture, outside Room 209.
Boss Toda shouted at Detective Maori while knocking on the door, but no one responded after several times. The Yamamura police officer smiled and said, "Detective Maori? Let me tell you the truth. The person next to you is the real detective Mr. Kogoro Mouri."
"What, what!" Boss Yuantian was stunned.
"Hmph," Maori smiled proudly, "this fake guy must know that I'm here, so he dare not see you. Now you use the spare key to open the door and let me expose his true face in person."
Boss Totota opened the door with a spare key. After Maori entered, he shouted: "Okay, don't hide, come out, let me see who dares to take my name."
No one responded in the room. Everyone looked around and found that there was no one. Boss Toruta shouted: "The suitcase is not there either. He took the suitcase away. This means that the newspaper is weird, so I didn't exchange the newspaper for money, and I am not a murderer either."
"Well," said the Yamamura police officer, "this remains to be verified."
Yamazaki asked, "Boss Toda, where is your parking lot?"
Boss Tobata said, "Parking lot? It's right next to it."
Conan immediately wanted to run out, but was caught by Yamazaki. Conan struggled for a while and calmed down and stopped moving.
"What are you asking about this?" Maori asked Yamazaki.
Yamazaki put down Conan and smiled, "Uncle, the waiter who helped park the car, Yamaboya, hasn't come here to pay the keys yet. I'm afraid he's running away in the Yamamura police officer's police car."
Maori asked, "You mean, he is a prisoner?"
"It's hard to say whether he is the prisoner of this incident. Anyway, he has a problem." Yamazaki said, "He should have recognized you uncle and ran away."
"So the prisoner drove my car and ran away?" The Yamamura police officer's face changed, "I'm in trouble now."
Maori said to Yamamura police officer: "Call it quickly and it's OK to recover it."
"Yes, yes." The Yamamura police officer immediately took out his mobile phone number.
"Official, there is no signal nearby," said Boss Tobata. "There is a landline at the front desk."
Afterwards, everyone went to the front desk to make a phone call, but the phone seemed to be broken and there was no signal. Yamazaki and Midako did not bring a satellite phone, so they planned to drive to other places to call the police. However, when they went to the parking lot, they saw that all the cars were broken, so they had to walk to call the police. So they took their luggage and flashlights, and under the guidance of the boss Toda, they rushed to the water hot spring town in the night.
On the way, Maori said to Toruta's boss: "Tell me what happened later and let me see what happened."
"Yes, Mr. Maori," said the boss Toda. "When the long-haired man left, he told me that if he hadn't come to get the things, he would give the letter to the visitor. As a result, on the next day, a man with obvious makeup said he wanted to get the letter and the box, so I gave it to him. After reading the letter, he angrily tore it off, and then asked me for the box. I didn't give it to him, so he left."
The Yamamura police officer asked, "Just leave like this?"
Boss Tobata said, "Yes, I was a little worried at first, but he has never been here again until now."
Yamazaki asked, "At that time, was that Mr. Jimbo Yasuo present?"
Boss Tobata said, "Hey, he is definitely not that person."
Maori asked, "Are you so sure?"
Boss Tobata said, "Because I was also curious about what was written in that letter. After the man left, I asked the waiters next to me to pick up the broken letters that were thrown everywhere, and then put them together bit by bit. Among those people, there was God Baoyafu."
The Yamamura police officer asked, "What is written in that letter?"
Boss Yuantian said, "There is only one big line of words on the letter, I wish you to die after being cursed."
At the same time, birds cries rang out in the tomb trees beside them, and Lan and Yuanzi screamed.
"So let you not come." Maori said helplessly.
Meidaizi smiled and said, "I'm even more scared to stay there, a hot spring hotel that is far away from people and has no communications, and a classic scene of horror movies."
"Meidizi!" Lan and Yuanzi shouted angrily, and then the three of them started to play.
Yamazaki changed the topic, "By the way, Boss Toda, does anyone know when the man with long hair gives you a box?"
Boss Toruta said, "Nothing is there."
Maori said: "That is to say, it was at that time that Jimboyama knew that you had a mysterious box."
The Yamamura police officer asked Boss Totoda, "So, what exactly is in the box?"
Boss Tobata said, "After experiencing this, I was afraid that there would be stolen goods and other things in the box, so I asked someone to get a key and opened it for a look. I found that it was a newspaper, so I left the box."
"A newspaper?" said the Yamamura police officer in a gloomy tone, "Is it possible that the man's long hair is also stuck inside."
"Ah!" Lan and Yuanzi screamed in fear again, and then Yuanzi was so angry that she kicked the calf of the mountain village police officer, "I deliberately scared us you."
"It hurts, it hurts..." The Yamamura police officer shouted, and then said embarrassedly, "How could you do that on purpose? It's all like this in the movie."
"No, there is no hair inside, it's just an ordinary sports newspaper." The Toda boss said, "I remember the front page was the news that Akazemaru won the sumo wrestling competition."
Yamamura police officer said: "Akasenmaru? He withdrew from the sumo world due to injury four years ago."
At this time, Meidazi pointed to her head with a flashlight and said, "Look, there seems to be something there."
Everyone shone the flashlight and found that it was a man in white hanging from a tree, so they hurried over.
Yamazaki took out the triangle blade and handed it to Midako. Midako threw out the blade on the road to cut the rope, causing the man to fall to the ground, and the blade was nailed to the tree in the distance.
Boss Toda approached the man and immediately shouted: "It's Detective Maori."
"I'm here." Maori said angrily.
"Ah, I mean, this is the fake one." Boss Tobata said with a embarrassed smile.
After Maori stepped forward to check, he shook his head and said, "He is dead."
"Another suicide." The Yamamura police officer sighed.
"This is not certain yet." Maori said angrily, and continued, "borrow me your gloves."
"Gloves? Oh, oh, I'm bringing them." Yamamura police officer quickly gave the gloves to Maori.
Maori looked at the bearskin gloves and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm talking about the white gloves brought by the detective. I want to see the box beside him."
"White gloves?" the Yamamura police officer smiled, "You said this earlier. How could I know if you didn't say it? I will definitely give it to you after you said it. It's impossible for you to think..."
"Puff!" Lan, Yuanzi, and Meidaizi burst into laughter together.
"Stop!" Maori shouted angrily, "I don't even look at what time this is, and I recite the movie lines."
"I just think this scene is absent." The Yamamura police officer said embarrassedly, and then smiled, "By the way, Mr. Maori, you have also watched this Hong Kong movie."
"Gloves!" Maori shouted.
"Sorry, sorry." Yamamura police officer hurriedly handed over the white gloves to Maori.
Lan smiled and said, "No, my stomach hurts when I laugh."
Meidaizi smiled and said, "It's so fun."
Yuanzi smiled and said, "This guy should be an artist."
"Is that true?" said the Yamamura police officer. "I have thought about this profession, but I still think the police are more majestic, just like Miss Akiko's TV series."
"Okay, stop making trouble." Maori shouted, then opened the box and found a newspaper inside.
"It's this." Boss Toruta said, "It's this newspaper."
Yamazaki came back after picking up the blade, "Uncle, don't worry about the mystery of the newspaper, let's go first, I suspect this is a trap."
"Train?" Maori and others were shocked, then looked around and found nothing.
Meidaizi said, "Brother, I don't think there is any danger here."
"Of course there is no danger, this is a trap to delay time." Yamazaki said.
Conan thought to himself, so that's what it means to delay our time to call the police.
The Yamamura police officer asked, "Depend on time?"
"Depend the alarm time, but I can't confirm it yet." Yamazaki said, "Uncle, let's talk as we go."
"Okay, let's go." Maori said.
After straight out of the woods, everyone found a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on the ground, but it turned out to be on the side of the road, but now it has become in the middle of the road.
Boss Yuantian asked, "What's going on?" As he said that, he wanted to return the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to the position.
"Wait, Boss Toda, let the stone statue be there first, there may be the murderer's fingerprints on it." Yamazaki said.
"Murderer?" asked the Yamamura police officer, "Why did he put the stone statue here?"
Maori looked at the woods behind him and said, "So that's the case, to let us stop," and then said, "There are stone statues blocking the road. Those who see this will stop, and then they will find someone hanging there in the woods."
Boss Tobata said, "But it's evening now."
Meidaizi said: "That person is wearing white clothes, not far from the roadside, and it is easy to see even at night."
Yuanzi asked, "So this is a murder?"
Yamazaki said: "Yes, if you commit suicide, it should be deeper in the woods. The murderer deliberately put him in a place that is easily discovered so that we can stop and observe."
Lan said: "But others may find out."
Boss Toda said, "Generally speaking, after dark, there will be basically no one to go this path." Then he sighed, "It seems that the murderer is Yafu Jimba. I really don't know why he did this."
Maori said: "Of course it's that 100 million yen."
Boss Toruta asked in surprise: "So he solved the mystery of the newspaper?"
Maori said: "Yes, so this box is useless to him."
