Yamamura Cao glanced at the innocent old maple tree.
When he turned around again, he saw Jiang Xia on the opposite side with his head slightly lowered and looking a little guilty. He seemed to feel that leaving the mountain village to fuck was something they did very badly.
Seeing this, Yamamura Cao felt that he had a bigger problem: he shouldn't have gone so far, cursing people for bad luck, etc. What if Jiang Xia really forgot at that time? It seems that once the detective is focused, he will easily ignore the movements around him, especially
It's a high school detective...
"At that time, we just heard something moving upstairs and were looking for it in a hurry. We didn't pay attention to where you were hiding." A voice from the side interrupted.
Toru Amuro didn't feel guilty at all. Regardless of whether he was Rei Fangtani or Bourbon, he felt that this confused policeman lacked the beatings of a real life and it was enough to scare him.
But now, of course, is not the time to talk about trivial matters.
They happened to meet each other, and Toru Amuro simply asked him what he was more concerned about: "Speaking of which, why are you here? Has the case over there in the Tougami Forest been resolved?"
Hearing this question, Yamamura Cao snorted and his momentum weakened.
...In that case, the prisoner who killed "Fake Jiang Xia" died suddenly. Since there was a video of his murder as evidence, the case could be closed. However, they were never able to find the "perverted mysterious man" the prisoner said disappeared.
He fell forward and hid on the ground, and there was no news.
To find these, it will probably take a long time to search, and since the main body of the case has been solved, these details will inevitably be shelved. After all, Yamamura Soo is a mystery enthusiast and feels that the case is not handled satisfactorily, so he does not want to answer this question.
After being stared at by Toru Amuro for a moment, the police officer suddenly thought of something.
He cleared his throat solemnly and began to argue again: "No! I am the police, and now it's my turn to ask you! - What are you doing here in the middle of the night? You're not here to eliminate evidence, are you... It's still a case
Is there anyone you know there?"
"I don't know him, I just met him once in the evening." Jiang Xia shook his head, "He said he was the assistant director of "Red Maple Trees in Winter" and asked us to help send a message to a guest staying at the Red Tree Hotel who wanted to visit a maple tree and make an appointment.
Good to meet you here."
"Oh? In that case, the most suspicious one should be that guest." Yamamura Cao actually followed the normal thinking. He turned to the police subordinates and waved his hand, "Go back to the hotel and look for it. By the way, let's contact that person again.
The crew, confirm the identity of the deceased - he didn't have a wallet with him, and no ID can be found."
Toru Amuro looked at Yamamura Cao in surprise.
...Why do I feel a little smarter than before?
People in legends don’t scare or grow?
…
Yamamura Cao inadvertently found the important witnesses who came to his door - Jiang Xia and other detectives.
However, when they arrived at the hotel and asked for details, they found out that Jiang Xia and the others had only left a message in the guestbook and had not directly met the mysterious guest who had made an appointment with the deceased, nor did they know the guest's name.
As for the Red Tree Hotel, as the most famous and largest hotel in this area, there are nearly a hundred guests staying in it. The area is really too wide.
"I remember the deceased's uncle said that the guests arrived in the morning."
Conan pressed his forehead and remembered some details: "In other words, by finding the customers who came to the store during that time period, we should be able to narrow down the scope."
Yamamura Cao: "...This, this is it."
The words make sense, but "uncle of the deceased" is a strange name. It is even more scary when it comes from the mouth of an innocent child, especially this child has clear eyes and an innocent expression, as if he is used to this kind of thing.
appearance……
Yamamura Cao glanced at Conan calmly, then at Jiang Xia, and at the other people who came with him, and found that no one seemed to care about this.
So I couldn't help but have some self-doubt... Could it be that he had too little experience?
Are all kids today like this?
…
A few minutes later.
Yamamura Cao felt that although the people around the famous detective Jiang Xia were weird, including children.
However, the clues and ideas they gave are indeed very useful.
——"Morning" is not a common time for lodging. Generally, hotels will tidy up the room and clean the room at this time. If you want to check in, you usually have to pay more for the previous day's room.
So after checking the roster of the Chishu Hotel, the police found that there were only three people staying there during this period.
The scope of suspects was suddenly narrowed a lot, which greatly reduced their workload.
In addition, there were two guests who arrived a little later, not in the morning, but closer to noon.
But their check-in was also before normal business hours - the two of them were only more than 20 minutes earlier than the stipulated check-in time, but they were unwilling to wait and decisively paid an extra day's room fee.
There are two strange guests named "Jiang Xia" and "Amuro Toru".
"..."
The Maori father and his daughter had no feelings about this, but they were a little surprised - the boss Amuro, who liked to work around, turned out to be a rich man who was not short of money.
Belmode, disguised as Suzuki Sonoko, glanced at the roster and didn't notice anything wrong. She didn't check the check-in time when she stayed at the hotel. She checked in when she arrived. She used the services she wanted and paid more. Anyway, it was money.
It can't be spent all.
And Conan... Conan is still suspicious, but there is still no evidence.
He didn't even know exactly what he was suspecting. It might just be some kind of intuition from the detective, telling him that Toru Amuro had a lot of secrets, something was wrong, and he might be involved in something dangerous.
…
No matter how suspicious Toru Amuro and Eka were, the two detectives seemed to have no intention of escaping, and they knew everything about them, both to the police and to their fellow travelers.
Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, the current focus of observation is still the three first arriving guests who were just found out.
Watanuki Tatsuzo is also among them.
This matter was quite important to him, so he was very punctual in this regard. When he said he would come in the morning, he really came in the morning, so that he could be there after the unlucky assistant found the "maple tree with bones buried in its roots."
, rushed to the scene as soon as possible to control the situation and prevent the body he hid five years ago from being exposed to the public.
At this time, although he was regarded as a suspect for killing his assistant, he was picked out alone.
But Tatsuzo Watanuki is a man who has seen strong winds and waves after all. When the fresh corpse of the assistant was discovered, he was not too nervous - anyway, there was no evidence of this murder. As long as the mud body he hid five years ago was
It would be better if the corpses of the participating cadres are not discovered.
After all, the police talk about evidence.
Ni Shenhui is not a serious organization. Even if there is no irrefutable evidence, he may be sanctioned.
Now, Watanuki Tatsuzo is glad that the maple tree where the body was buried is difficult to find - if something happens here, it will not affect there. His younger brothers who came in advance to help with the search can continue to search safely.
