Chapter 1748 The consultant is definitely overly frightened
"Yes," a bodyguard hesitated, "but you can do this alone, for your safety..."
"You two go over together and pay attention to the safety of the children and girls over there," Chi Feichi walked towards the stairs without looking back, his tone was calm but also revealed an unquestionable certainty, "Keep an eye on them all, don't worry.
Putting anyone in danger."
The two bodyguards looked at each other and thought that there were people waking up everywhere in the hotel, so there shouldn't be any danger, but it was very dangerous for children to run around, so they stopped insisting and immediately turned around and ran towards the west corridor of the hotel.
Dashanya quickly followed Chi Feichi downstairs. Looking from the stair guard, the first floor was already in chaos. Looking around, he saw the figure running into the room where the fire broke out. He reminded him loudly, "Consultant, that kid Conan ran away."
Got into the room where the fire was!"
Chi Feichi turned the corner of the stairs and suddenly felt a thin thread being kicked in front of his feet. There seemed to be a subtle crisp sound in the room in front of him, and he immediately stopped.
"Master, there is a mechanism..."
As soon as Feichi opened his mouth, a silvery spear more than one meter long had pierced the wooden door with a bang. The end was still stuck in the door panel, and the front section with a sharp side blade lay in front of Chi Feichi.
Dashan Mi only looked at the other side of the stairs. He didn't have time to stop and bumped into Chi Feichi's back. He looked up in confusion and saw the metal spear lying in front of Chi Feichi. He turned pale with fright and said, "Consultant...
"
Feichi breathed a sigh of relief and said very quickly, "Master, there is no machine, but there is someone in front of the window of that room."
On the stairs on the opposite west side, Kogoro Mouri put his head and shouted loudly, "Fei Chi, what's going on over there? What happened?!"
"fine!"
Chi Fei Chi replied, bypassing the spear and stepping forward, reaching out and trying to open the door, but found that the door seemed to be stuck due to the mechanism of the spear.
Dashan Mi followed and stepped forward, bypassing the spear. When he saw Chi Feichi, he directly opened the door and said with a cold sweat, "Advisor, be careful, there may be others here..."
"Bang!"
The door panel was kicked away by Chi Feichi...
Oyamaya: "..."
Damn it, his consultant is so irritable and reckless, he must be too frightened!
The windows in the room were wide open, and a candle was originally lit on the table. After Chi Fei Chi opened the door, the convection wind immediately blew out the candle.
In front of the window, a man in black robes stood facing the door. The hood on his head was fluttering in the wind. You could vaguely see the hooked nose peeking out from the edge of the hat, and the lower half of his face that was burned into disgrace.
When Chi Feichi and Dashan Mi looked up, the man in black robe immediately jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night sky.
"Then, that person's face..." Dashan Mi was shocked by the other person's terrifying appearance. He noticed that Chi Feichi was walking to the window without thinking, and quickly followed him. He anxiously advised, "Consultant, let's not take any risks. Wait.
Let’s wait until the police come!”
Chi Feichi ignored it and went to the window to take a look. He smelled the strong fragrance of elderflower in the room. He then turned to look at the candle on the table and found that there was a letter left on the bottom of the candle that had solidified wax. He stretched out his hand to put out the candle.
I picked it up along with the letter.
This room is on the second floor. The window opens to the outside of the hotel. Outside is the pier. It was originally surrounded by an anti-theft iron grid, but the iron grid was damaged. The edge of the iron grid in front of the window frame was neatly broken, but it was not
Determine what it was cut from.
If you jump from here, as long as you are prepared, there is little chance of injury.
There was a lot of dust on the ground downstairs. He took a cursory look and saw no obvious footprints.
In other words, the opponent did not land after jumping?
As for the letter on the table...
"Fei Chi, are you okay?!"
Mouri Kogoro ran to the door panting, followed by a large and small group of people and two bodyguards.
"It's okay." Chi Feichi lowered his eyes and looked at the contents of the newspaper clippings on the letter. He saw Koshizui Nanatsuki approaching and handed over the letter and envelope.
"This is..." Koshizui Nanatsuki took the letter in confusion, looked down, and his face instantly turned ugly.
The letter was composed of cut-out blocks of words:
[What belongs to the witch belongs to the witch. If you help someone who wants to get those things, no matter where you are, you will be pierced through the heart with a spear and die]
…
Not long after, firefighters arrived to put out the fire in the room on the first floor, and Mumu Shisan also arrived with people.
Motomachi Seizo's room was in a mess. The furniture was not only destroyed and blown away by the impact of the explosion, but also many things were burned to pieces by the fire. In addition to the burnt smell, there was also a faint fragrance of elderflower in the air.
The guard guarding the door of the room was injured and was taken to the hospital by ambulance, but Motomachi Seizo himself had already been killed by the explosion when Conan rushed into the burning room.
At that time, Conan ran in and saw Motomachi Seisan leaning against the wall with blood all over his face. Because the fire was getting bigger and bigger, he had to evacuate the room first.
After the fire was extinguished, the police found Motomachi Seizo's body in front of the wall. The hem of the body's clothes and feet had been burned by the fire. However, the fire was discovered and extinguished quickly, and the clothes Motomachi Seizo was wearing could be roughly seen.
It's a bathrobe.
There was no smell of gasoline in the room, and the fireball Conan saw at that time was not something that would occur when a bomb exploded. After communicating with the firefighters and the police, they could only determine that the cause of the explosion was gas - when Motomachi Seizo came out of the bathroom
, used a lighter to light a cigarette, but did not know that the room was filled with gas that would cause an explosion, so he lit the fire with his own hands, causing an explosion.
It's just that there is no gas running in the room. Although there is a gas lamp on the wall, it is just an electric lamp that retains its appearance.
At the time of the explosion, there were guards guarding the door, patrols patrolling the hall on the first floor, and there were anti-theft iron grids on the windows of that room. There were no signs of damage to the iron grids, and Conan did not see any suspicious people near the room.
, is another secret room that no one else can enter except Motomachi Seizo.
Then there was the room where Chi Feichi was attacked. When Kogoro Mori arrived, the room still smelled of elderflower, and it was not blown away by the wind until the police arrived.
The floral smell came from the burning candles. Apart from putting down the letter, lighting the candles and setting up traps, the man in black robe did not touch much of the things in the room and did not leave many traces.
The police originally speculated that the murderer sneaked into the room on the second floor. After setting up a trap, putting down the letter, and lighting candles, he somehow deceived the guard at the door of Motomachi Seisan's room and injected gas into Motomachi Seisan's room.
Return to the room on the second floor and wait for Motomachi Seizo to come out of the bathroom to smoke, causing an explosion. Waiting in the room on the second floor, he ambush Chi Feichi who came downstairs after hearing the noise. After Chi Feichi breaks the door, he jumps out of the window and escapes from the pier outside.
.
Although this still cannot explain how the murderer avoided the guard at the door, it is the most reasonable guess at present.
However, after investigation, the police discovered something even more mysterious - below the window of the second-floor room was an open space in the corner of the pier, which was hidden from view, but also protected from the wind. Thick dust had accumulated on the ground, and no one had cleaned it. It was like
Chi Feichi saw the same thing at that time, there were no footprints left on the ground.
Before the police investigated the open space outside the window, Conan, Nanatsuki Koshimizu, Kogoro Mori and others had already looked at it. After finding that there were no footprints on the ground, they did not approach the wall and only shined their flashlights on the outer wall.
During this period, Chi Feichi and Dr. A Li took the children and stayed in front of the window of the room on the second floor. No one was seen outside, either the people in the room or the people outside using flashlights to shine on the exterior wall.
There are no traces of anyone climbing to the other direction on the wall, which means that the man in black robe did not temporarily hide on the outer wall, nor did he climb along the outer wall to other places before leaving.
After the man in black robe jumped out of the window, he seemed to disappear out of thin air.
After Mumu Shisan arranged for people to investigate carefully, he called others to leave the room on the second floor and went to the lobby on the first floor. "In the room where Brother Chi encountered the trap, the elderflower fragrance came from the burning candle..."
"But in Mr. Motomachi's room on the first floor, no candles or traces of burning candles were found," Mouri Kogoro frowned in thought. He looked up and saw the hotel manager standing slumped in the messy hall, and guessed, "Could it be?
Did someone recently send explosives to Mr. Motomachi via a package?"
Megure Thirteen immediately looked at the hotel manager and asked seriously, "Has Mr. Motomachi received any strange packages recently?"
"No," the hotel manager replied firmly. Seeing the confusion on the others' faces, he hurriedly explained, "There used to be a toy collector with abnormal brains who threatened us, saying that if we didn't give him all the toys collected here, he would
They blew up all the museum. From then on, all packages sent here will be handed over to the front desk and security personnel first. They can only accept them after careful inspection. However, not to mention the recent past, there has been no such encounter in the past two years.
What suspicious items?"
Mumu Shisan looked at the group of guards waiting aside, who nodded in affirmation.
"None of us have ever found a package like this."
While others were chatting, Conan reached for the letter and envelope in Takagi Wataru's hand. He opened the envelope and checked it. He found that there were no small black pieces like rust inside. He lowered his head and pondered.
"So, has anyone entered Mr. Motomachi's room recently?" Mouri Kogoro touched his chin, "Maybe someone brought explosives directly to his room."
"The only people who visited Mr. Motomachi's room yesterday were Mr. Oyama and..." the hotel manager said, looking up at Miura Joji who had been following Migure Thirteen since he arrived.
Miura Joji wiped the cold sweat from his head, and when he saw Megure Thirteen turning to look at him, he hurriedly explained, "I was very worried about the other people named in the will yesterday. After I asked Mr. Mori to visit Miss Tsurumi, I arrived
Mr. Motomachi is here."
Yesterday, Miura Joji did come to see Motomachi Seizo. The police, Mori Kogoro and others knew this. In addition, Oyamaya was present at the time, which can prove that Miura Joji came to inquire about the threatening letter.
"What about the other people in the will?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the manager and asked, "Miss Tsurumi, Mr. Isesaki, and Mr. Sakuragi, have they been here recently?"
"Ms. Tsurumi came to deliver herbs the day before yesterday, but she left the herbs at the front desk and left." The manager looked at Chi Feichi, "Mr. Isesaki is a city councilor and has been hospitalized for a long time due to heart disease. Even Mr. Chi
I haven't been able to attend the dinner here, and I haven't been here for a long time. The same is true for Father Sakuragi. Father Sakuragi came here once a long time ago, and he has never been here since."
