Chapter 719 The country roads are also slippery, and peoples hearts are more complicated
Yamamura Cao kept chattering about learning ventriloquism, but Conan could only tell him to watch the road carefully before shutting up for the time being.
Regarding this rookie policeman, Conan was a little helpless, but he also gained something.
It's rare to see a policeman who is so easy to fool. If you don't have Moori Kogoro around in the future, you can use him as a "trumpet".
Yamamura So drove the car to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and dug out the contents according to the treasure location told by Kogoro Mori.
This is a jar, filled with cash. After counting, there are as many as 100 million yen.
Conan borrowed the words of Moori Kogoro and asked Yamamura Cao to ask the headquarters about an unsolved case involving 100 million five years ago, and the result was soon obtained.
There was a kidnapping and extortion case five years ago, and the amount was exactly 100 million, and there were two kidnappers at the time.
The case became much clearer now. The long-haired man in red and the murderer were the two kidnappers who were involved in the kidnapping. The man in red was responsible for hiding the money, but he was taken advantage of by the murderer.
It's just that the man in red also had a back-up plan and left the password for hiding the money in the suitcase, so that the murderer would never get the money.
But what Conan didn't understand was that since he was afraid that he would be silenced by his accomplices, why didn't he just say that the place where he hid the money was remembered in his mind?
In this way, the murderer will not dare to take advantage of others, and the man in red can save his own life.
In fact, this is more than just the way the kidnappers were confused.
In the hotel case just now, the murderer went to great lengths to get hair from the women's bathhouse and put it in a suitcase, trying to create the illusion of murder with a curse.
This approach is simply unnecessary. Anyone who thinks about it knows that it is impossible for the police to use curses to kill people to close the case.
Instead, the fake Qin Zhibo and Conan themselves used this as a clue to seize the key information that the murderer was an insider of the hotel.
It is really unimaginable that such a pair of stupid kidnappers could kidnap and extort 100 million yuan. The case has not been solved for 5 years.
It is conceivable that there are still many outrageous cases in previously unsolved cases.
At this moment, Conan suddenly felt that the burden on his little shoulders was very heavy.
Following the instructions of "Mouri Kogoro", Yamamura took out the stolen money and put it in the trunk of his car, put soil in the jar, and buried it again.
Find a secluded place to park the car in the bushes, and the rest is to wait patiently in the car for the murderer to come to your door.
Time passed by and the murderer hadn't come yet, so Conan became a little anxious.
It's not that he's afraid that his hints aren't obvious enough and the murderer won't be found, but that he's afraid that Kogoro Mori will wake up in the middle.
Dr. Ali said that the duration of the effect of an anesthetic injection is generally between 1 and 2 hours, but individual physical differences and drug resistance cannot be ruled out.
Based on Conan's experience of singing the double act for such a long time, he concluded that the effect of the anesthetic needle on Mouri Kogoro usually takes less than 30 minutes, and sometimes even earlier.
In the past, Kogoro Mori was given an anesthetic injection and would wake up midway.
Conan asked Dr. Ali to enhance the effect of the drug. Although Dr. Ali agreed, before the improved version of the anesthetic was released, Dr. Ali flew to the United States.
It had already been more than half an hour since Kogoro Mouri was anesthetized, and Conan began to worry that the drug was about to expire.
As the saying goes, you get what you worry about, and while Conan was thinking about the effects of the medicine, Kogoro Mouri woke up sleepily in the front passenger seat.
".Um?"
"Why am I here?"
Mouri Kogoro rubbed his eyes and yawned loudly again, as if he had just woken up.
Yamamura Cao turned his head and looked confused, "Huh? Didn't Mr. Mori ask us to ambush here, waiting for the murderer to surrender?"
"Ah? It's me."
Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment and pointed at himself with a look of disbelief, just like how he was thanked by the local police every time after solving a case.
Yamamura Cao nodded, "Yes, it's you."
Mouri Kogoro then thought about it and realized that his other "personality" must have come out again and solved the case.
"Yes, it's me!"
"Ha ha--"
At this time, Yamamura Cao suggested again: "By the way, Mr. Mori, when you see the murderer's reasoning later, can you let me show my face?"
"OK, no problem!"
Mouri Kogoro, who couldn't figure out the situation, couldn't help but ask for it.
Seeing that Mouri Kogoro accepted the situation calmly and Yamamura Cao did not become suspicious, Conan in the back seat breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there were two idiots sitting in the car, otherwise the secret would have been exposed.
But at this moment, Mouri Kogoro, who had just woken up, looked down at his watch and suddenly found that it was already 11:30 pm.
"Huh? Isn't it time to open the envelope left by the counterfeit?"
After Mouri Kogoro's reminder, Yamamura Cao and Conan also remembered this matter and looked at the watches on their wrists.
"Yes, it's time"
"Open the envelope quickly and see what the impostor has to say."
At the urging of Mouri Kogoro, Yamamura Cao quickly took out the envelope left by the counterfeit Qin Zhibo from his arms, opened it, and found a piece of letter paper inside.
Unfold the letter paper, there is only one name on it.
"Masao Jimbo."
"Who is this person?" Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion.
Yamamura Soo quickly checked the contents recorded in his police manual and found the situation.
"Masao Jimbo is an employee of Aoiya Hotel. His main job is to park cars for guests."
Conan's face darkened as he recalled the scene in the afternoon.
The first person you must meet when you come to Kuiwu Hotel is the impostor Qin Zhibo, who thinks he is the murderer.
Why?
Just as Conan was thinking about it, Yamamura Soo in the front seat suddenly looked at the front window alertly and whispered, "Someone is coming outside."
Conan stood up from the back seat, and sure enough he saw a "little black" in the front window holding a flashlight and a shovel on his shoulder, walking up to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who was lying in front of him.
First, use the compass to find the location, then "Xiao Hei" waves the shovel and starts digging.
While digging, the shovel made a crisp sound when it hit the jar below.
"hey-hey."
"Xiao Hei" let out two muffled laughs, with big white teeth in his mouth, showing strength and confidence in his smile.
Just when "Xiao Hei" put down his shovel and was about to dig out the jar containing the money from the soil with his hands, there was a sudden rustling of grass behind him.
"that."
"Excuse me, can you help us?"
"Xiao Hei" was so frightened that he immediately turned around and saw two young women in thin clothes standing behind him, supporting each other, looking pitiful.
Seeing two big living people standing behind him, "Xiao Hei" was immediately dumbfounded.
Oops, someone discovered it!
Although he didn't look like he was from the hotel or the police, as long as he brought these two people to the Aoi House Hotel, other hotel employees would definitely know from their mouths that they went out to dig things in the wild in the middle of the night.
If the police and detectives find out about this, I will definitely be under suspicion!
Moreover, the pit next to it has been dug, and it is too late to bury it now!
hateful!
All we can do is silence!
Two young women had just escaped from the trap of a fanatical believer. They lost their way while escaping, and happened to encounter a figure in the forest.
Without thinking, the two stepped forward to ask for help. When they turned their eyes, they saw the shovel on the ground and the pit that had been dug next to it.
Intuition told the two of them that this was not a good person.
But it was too late, I had already said hello.
I saw the man in front of me bending down, slowly picking up the shovel on the ground, and holding it as a weapon.
"No problem, ladies"
A cruel smile appeared on the man's face, and his tall figure slowly approached the two petite bodies.
Wearing sandals and running from the center of the Head God Forest to the edge of the forest, the two women's feet were worn out and they had long since lost the strength to continue running.
Facing the approaching bad guys, we could only give up and hug each other, and make a wish in our hearts that if we could survive, we would never travel to the countryside again.
Originally, I thought that the city would have a lot of routines, and I wanted to experience the customs and customs of the countryside.
But the country roads are also slippery, and people’s hearts are even more complicated!
"I can help you, but not somewhere else."
"But dig two more holes here!"
The man raised the shovel high and was about to swing it at the two men's heads, when the headlights suddenly turned on behind him, and the dark forest suddenly became as bright as day.
The man was so frightened that he stopped, took a breath, and looked back.
In the middle of the two headlights, two shallow figures were standing, one tall and one short.
"Mr. Jinbao, don't make your sins worse."
"It's all over, let's just take it easy."
Due to the backlight, Jimbo Masao couldn't see clearly who it was, but he also knew that he had been caught and there was no room for explanation.
"Damn it!"
"I'll fight with you!"
Jimbo Masao prepared to smash the jar, raised the shovel in his hand and ran towards the headlights.
Mouri Kogoro faced the enemy, easily caught the shovel handle with both hands, threw it to the side, turned around and threw it over his shoulder again.
A set of actions was completed in one go, and Jimbo Masao was instantly knocked to the ground, doubting his life.
Yamamura Cao quickly went up to pick up the deeds and put the silver bracelet on the prisoner.
Mouri Kogoro handsomely adjusted the collar of his suit and walked towards the two pitiful women in heroic form.
"Ladies, it's safe now."
Mouri Kogoro stretched out his palm and tried to pull the person up from the ground.
But after the two women experienced this series of events, their trust in people has dropped to the lowest level.
"Don't touch us!"
"ah--"
The two were scratching randomly, making it impossible for anyone to get close.
In the end, Conan had to come over and gain the trust of the two young ladies with his innocent and young face.
After a period of explanation, the identities of Kogoro Mouri and Sou Yamamura finally made the two young women put down their guard and confirm that they were safe.
Under the questioning of Yamamura Cao, the two of them described their experiences in detail.
It turned out that these two people were travelers who had booked a room at the Aoi House Hotel, but they got lost along the way and were kidnapped by a group of people into the forest.
These people were holding some ceremony in the middle of the forest swamp and wanted to use them as living sacrifices.
"What age is this? Why are there still people so superstitious?"
Yamamura Cao, who should have said these words the least, complained like this.
It was Mouri Kogoro who reacted and asked seriously: "How many of them are there? Are they still in the forest now?"
A woman replied: "I haven't counted the number of people, but there are many."
Another woman replied: "They should still be in the forest now, chasing that person."
"Officer Yamamura, contact Gunma County Police Department immediately and ask them to send as many people as possible." Mouri Kogoro turned around and ordered Yamamura Cao.
Conan captured the key information in the young lady's words and asked: "Sister, who are you talking about 'chasing that person'?"
The two women looked at each other, and one of them replied: "There is one person in that group who attracted some of the bad guys away."
"There was another person who suddenly appeared from behind, knocked down the remaining bad guys, and let us go."
"correct!"
A woman took out a video tape from her pocket and handed it to Kogoro Mori.
"The second person gave it to me. He told me to hand it over to the police after I escaped. That's all I understood."
Mouri Kogoro took the videotape and continued to ask: "What are the characteristics of the two people you mentioned?"
"Well, one of them looks a bit like a monkey, and the other one has dark brown hair."
Dark brown hair!
Speaking of dark brown hair, Conan immediately thought of the fake Qin Zhibo who disappeared from the hotel.
The biggest difference between this fake and the genuine product is that the hair is dark brown, so it is easy for Conan to remember.
"Could it be him?"
Obviously, Mouri Kogoro on the side also had doubts.
But no matter what, the prisoner of the counterfeit Mouri Kogoro case and the two rescued women must be returned to Aoiya Hotel first.
In the forest of Tou Shen, Qin Zhibo was chasing Bin Mike along the path he took to escape.
With the help of the finding-object spell, several people were quickly found.
In an open space in the forest, Hamak was surrounded by several people, led by the resurrected corpse that could not be killed. There were several bloody holes in its body, but it did not affect its mobility at all.
"Hey, how did you, this guy, get to be so resistant to beatings?"
Although the situation was critical, Hamaike still made a frivolous joke.
The yellow-haired man's resurrected corpse ignored it and rushed directly towards Hamaike without using any skills.
When he was at the extreme distance, Hamak ducked to the side and easily avoided the impact of the resurrected corpse. However, another Voodoo believer took the opportunity to sneak attack on his back and slashed him with a steel knife on his back.
"呲——"
Hamak felt the pain of the skin tearing on his back and bared his teeth like a monkey.
Other Voodoo believers gradually surrounded him, and the situation became increasingly dangerous.
At this moment, two figures not far away suddenly entered the crowd.
The two men opened their bows from left to right and stretched out their feet to kick the Voodoo believer in the crotch, making him unable to get up again.
By the time the remaining Voodoo believers reacted, four Voodoo believers had already fallen to the ground.
The other three people turned around, trying to defend themselves against the two suddenly appearing enemies.
Hamak took the opportunity to rush forward, twisted one of the men's elbows, and turned the steel knife in his hand against his own neck.
"If you don't want to get hurt, it's best not to move."
The Voodoo believers had not received any combat training, and the situation was over. Finally, the two of them looked at each other, turned around and ran away into the dark forest.
In an instant, there was only one resurrected corpse left on the field.
