Conan didn't move for the time being, but carefully surveyed his surroundings. On the snow, apart from the only three rows of footprints, only a fan-shaped area near the back door showed obvious signs of water blending. The upper arc of the sector is a snow mark that has been almost completely melted. On the fan surface, there is also a small snow cave that has been melted.

When he saw this area, the corners of Conan's mouth twitched invisibly a few times, this guy really came out to curl up, and he was not honest. Obviously, there is a toilet in the house, but I have to run out.

I can't bear to continue thinking about the night's affairs, and now it's important to solve the case. There was no problem around the ancestral hall, and excluding the footprints left by the night, there was only one footprint left by entering the temple, and there were no footprints coming out.

"Conan, this is for you. With that, Night handed Conan's generous coat.

The coat belonged to Kogoro Mori, who was still wearing only a bath towel. It was ok in the hostel, it was hot spring and heated, and it didn't feel cold at all. But outside the hotel is completely different, minus eight or nine degrees, and Uncle Maori may be shivering in the ancestral hall now.

And Conan must have wanted to enter the ancestral hall to see it often, and this coat gave Conan enough reason to enter the ancestral hall.

Conan nodded, took the coat, stepped on the big footprints left by Maori Kogoro, held the coat in one hand, and held the flashlight in the other, and walked towards the ancestral hall.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm going to send clothes to my uncle. "Conan Road.

"Okay, be careful Conan. Xiaolan replied habitually.

Under normal circumstances, Xiaolan would have asked for it to be delivered, but before she knew it, Xiaolan had accepted all kinds of advantages of Conan. And it turns out that Conan is much more reliable than his father under normal circumstances. Let Conan in, and maybe you can make unexpected discoveries.

As soon as Conan arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, he saw many long-sleeved kimonos spread in the middle of the ancestral hall. And Anzai Ema lay quietly on the flat long-sleeved kimono. She was also wearing a glaring long-sleeved kimono, which was a dark red at the heart of the kimono, and judging from the extent of its impregnation and spread, it had been some time since Eima Anzai's death.

The exact time of death is difficult to tell because the surrounding temperature is so low.

"Uncle!" Conan called out Kogoro Mori, who was picking up the corners of his clothes with his fingers and observing the wounds of the deceased.

"A sharp weapon was inserted into the heart, and he was killed with a single sword. "Mori Kogoro said with great solemnity. "The murder weapon is probably the same knife! I had speculated that it might have been a suicide. ”

"People who have committed suicide don't have the strength to throw the murder weapon back into the hot springs. "Conan Road.

"Hmm. Mori Kogoro nodded, accepting the reality. And then I realized that something was wrong, "Who let you in! Didn't I tell you not to move around?"

"Uncle, I'm here to bring you clothes. Conan finished. He handed over the coat in his hand like a treasure.

As soon as Conan said this, he remembered that he was only wearing a bath towel now. Just now, I was just looking at the scene, and now as soon as my mental power was scattered, I immediately noticed that my body had been surrounded by a cold air. I just felt like I was stripped naked and thrown in an ice cellar, and my whole body was invaded by the cold.

Ahh

Mori Kogoro shuddered, hunched over, crossed his arms, and rubbed his palms against each other. Then he reluctantly took the coat in Conan's hand and draped it on his body. glanced at poor Conan. Forget it, if you are sensible for a while, and it hasn't caused any damage, you won't be held accountable.

After a closer inspection, Conan and Mori Kogoro closed the door to the ancestral hall and waited for the police to arrive for further inspection.

"Hostess, can you please find more towels, I need to protect these footprints, these are very important evidence. After Mori Kogoro and everyone converged, he immediately said to the innkeeper.

The proprietress nodded busily, and immediately went to the storage room with the innkeeper to get towels. There were two murders in a row, and the proprietress was scared to death at this time, but she didn't dare to walk around casually alone, so she decisively pulled her husband together.

Mori Kogoro and Conan stayed here to wait for the proprietress to pick up the cloth, while the rest of the people came to the living room. Originally, the innkeeper suggested that everyone go to the restaurant, and the meal has been prepared for a long time, and even if you don't eat, the restaurant will be much warmer than other places.

But as soon as his proposal was spoken, it was vetoed by Akechi Keiri. The reason is that two people just died, and after seeing such a bloody scene, I really don't have any appetite to eat. The others also had this idea, so as soon as everyone summed it up, they planned to go to the living room and wait for the police to come.

Night followed Xiaolan's buttocks, and not long after she entered the living room, she heard a knock on the door.

"Sister Xiaolan, it should be the police officer from the police station who has arrived!" Ye Ling, who heard the knock on the door, was shocked, and immediately said to Xiaolan beside him.

Xiaolan got up, looked at the group of people sitting in the living room, and opened the door with guts.

Whew, whew!

As soon as the door was opened, it was blown open a little more by the cold wind, and the cold wind wrapped in large snowflakes poured desperately into the house.

In the cold wind, a slightly hunched figure stood outside the door. The owner of the figure was wearing a thick coat, although it was mostly covered with snowflakes, but it could still be seen from the police badge on the left and right shoulders and the hat on the top of the head.

However, it is a pity that the officer looks at the relatively thin body, even if the other party is wearing a wide coat, the night can still clearly see it, which means that the other party is very thin. And the officer also wore round, thin-rimmed glasses.

Could this be the capable type of legend?

The officer took off his hat at the door, took off his glasses with his left hand and shook off the snow stains. Holding a police hat in his right hand, he patted the snow slag on his body all over his coat, not wanting to take them into the room, but unfortunately it backfired, and all the snow slag was blown in by the strong cold wind.

After filming the snow slag, the police officer put on glasses on his left hand and dragged his police hat at 90 degrees with his right hand, nodded to Xiaolan to express his gratitude, and then entered the room.

After coming in, Ye Ye, who saw the other party's true face, was immediately stunned.

The gray hair, wrinkled skin, and the thin body slightly arched all reveal the sophistication and sophistication of the other party.

This is really a veteran police officer! At least 80 years old, it is really not easy for the other party to come here in such weather.

The experienced police officer made a slightly hoarse voice in his dry throat: "Did you call the police?"

"Yes!" said Kogoro Maori, who hurried back to the living room in time.

He had already covered the footprints with a towel, and when he came back, he happened to find that the police officer had arrived, and although he was surprised by the age of the other party, he did not show it, after all, it was very impolite.

"You are!" The experienced police officer pushed his glasses and took a few steps forward with a slight trembling, and Xiaolan couldn't help but want to step forward to help her, she was really afraid that she would fall.

"The contemptible Mori Kogoro is a detective!" Mori Kogoro confidently reported his name.

It's not far from Tokyo, and the other party is still a police officer, so you should have heard your name and deeds no matter how you think about it.

"What a strange name. ”
