Early five o'clock in the afternoon, Aoi House Inn.

With a soft "crunch", Conan and Xiaolan opened the door of the guest room, walked out with a change of clothes, and after looking back and forth twice, Xiaolan asked, "Conan, do you know where the bath is?"

"Uh...... I don't know!" Conan replied with a smile, and after Xiaolan said "ah", he frowned and said, "You don't know either! ”

Xiaolan said, dragging Conan to the front desk, only to see Kamagawa and a few waiters standing at the counter, talking in a low voice, as if discussing something.

After seeing Conan and Xiaolan, Puchuan Shiji and they all stopped, and then Puchuan Shiji put on a smiling face, looked at Conan and Xiaolan with a smile and said, "Ah? It's Miss Echigo, do you have anything to do?"

Miss Echigo: What the hell is this?

Conan was stunned for a moment, thinking of Uncle Maori's pseudonym of "Echigo Koemon", the corners of his mouth twitched, and Xiaolan smiled and said, "We want to go to the bath, but we don't know the location of the bath......"

"If you want to take a bath, you can see it when you turn right in the hallway and walk into the courtyard. Pukawa replied, "Do you need us to take you there?"

"No, we'll just go over ourselves. ”

Xiaolan smiled slightly, bowed down to thank him, and took Conan's hand and was about to walk away, but Conan stopped and asked curiously: "Mr. Puchuan, may I ask, were you discussing the case of that piece of dead human flesh just now?" I vaguely heard you talking about 'sacrifice', 'corpse', 'discovery' or something......

“...... The police shouldn't have found the body of the former Bodhisattva, right?"

When Conan's words fell, Pu Chuan was slightly stunned, and then replied with a smile: "Hahaha, we are indeed discussing this case, but the police did not find the body." I heard from the policeman who came to investigate the case just now that the dead human flesh seemed to be a sacrifice offered by the followers of the head god, and the source of the dead human flesh was the corpses of those who committed suicide in the forest. Now, the police suspect that it may have been done by hunters who often enter the mountains, and are conducting an investigation in a nearby village, and the results will be available soon......"

Before Conan could speak, Xiaolan had already said "ah" and said with a frightened face: "What kind of suicide did you say the dead man's flesh was cut from? Oh my God! This is really, really terrifying...... Don't ask, Conan, let's go take a bath......"

Xiaolan was so scared that she didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, dragging Conan to the bath.

It didn't take long for the two of them to walk into the bath, but they saw a "Cleaning" sign in front of the women's bath, Xiaolan couldn't help but be a little disappointed: "Really, how can you clean up now, it's really unfortunate......"

"yes! What a coincidence!" Conan hugged the change of clothes in his arms, his expression was more disappointed than Xiaolan's-

In other words, he struggled for such an old time, and even had the consciousness of being beaten to death, but he encountered the cleaning of the women's bath......

You're kidding me, aren't you?

Conan was depressed, Xiaolan took Conan's hand, and said with a slight smile: "Let's go, Conan, let's go back to the room first, and then come to the bath after dinner!"

"Uh...... Okay!" As soon as he heard this, Conan was instantly full of energy—

Well, Xiaolan is right, let's come back in the evening, there is still a chance! And the big sister who takes a bath at night must be more than in the afternoon......

Conan thought wildly in his head, turned his head to look at the "Cleaning" sign, and asked with some curiosity, "By the way, Sister Xiaolan." Since the women's bath is being cleaned, why didn't the staff at the front desk tell us?"

"Hmm...... I don't know. Xiaolan thought for a moment, tilted her head to look at Conan, and smiled, "Maybe it's because of something sudden?"

"Well, that's right. ”

Conan and Xiaolan chatted and returned to the guest room together, only to see Uncle Maori waking up and sitting crookedly at the table.

Seeing Conan and Xiaolan, Uncle Maori, who was still dazed, opened his mouth and asked, "Xiaolan, Conan, what are you two doing?"

"We're going to take a bath, but the bath is being cleaned!" Xiaolan replied briefly, then walked over to the table to help Uncle Maori pour the water, and complained at the same time: "Dad, you have to be a little more restrained in the future, you can't drink so much anymore!"

Uncle Maori nodded "mm-hmm", and after chatting casually, he asked again: "By the way, Xiaolan, has the guy who pretended to be me started reasoning?"

"Well, it doesn't seem to be yet!" Xiaolan replied softly.

Uncle Maori raised his hand and looked at his watch, then scratched his head and said, "Really, how did that imposter grind? Forget it, don't wait! Xiaolan and Conan, let's go find that imposter together, expose his true colors, and try to solve this matter before dinner——"

"-I made an appointment with Officer Yamamura to have a good drink in the evening!"

Uncle Maori's words fell, and Conan and Xiaolan all said "ha"-

Please, you can't even stand on your feet now, and you're still drinking!

Conan and Xiaolan were speechless, but they still accompanied Uncle Maori to the fake Maori's room.

In front of the door of No. 209, Uncle Maori knocked on the door "DuangDuang", then stretched out his hand and said loudly: "That guy who is pretending to be my detective Maori Kogoro, don't hide, come out and see me......!

As Uncle Maori spoke, he looked into the inner part of the room, and when he saw a figure hanging in the air and swaying back and forth, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he was half awake from the wine.

At the same time, Conan and Xiaolan also walked behind Uncle Maori and saw the figure swaying back and forth, and a few seconds later, a loud scream resounded through the hotel......

......

At half past five o'clock in the afternoon, next to the statue of the head god.

Shu Yunwen and Tsukamoto Shumi stood together, looked at the uniformed policeman in front of them, and asked in surprise, "What did you say? All the hunters who often go into the mountains have been investigated, and are they not suspected?"

"No, that's right. The uniformed policeman nodded, "We asked our colleagues from nearby villages to assist in the investigation, and according to them, today happened to be the day of the nearby hunters' gathering, and almost all the hunters who often go into the mountains have arrived, so the investigation was done quickly." According to the investigation, from 11 o'clock to the present, they have all gathered together to eat and drink, and even if someone occasionally leaves in the middle, they only leave for ten minutes, and they do not have the time to commit crimes......"

"Really?" Shu Yunwen nodded, thinking and asking, "Then have you ever asked anyone they know who believes in the head god?"

"This shouldn't be the case. I heard them say that the head god is an evil god, but some people believed in it in ancient times, and there are believers who love to eat dead human flesh, and now this kind of person is long gone. The uniform replied, then stretched out his head and said, "By the way, there is an old hunter who said that the worship cycle of the head god is very short, it seems to be only five days!"

"Legend has it that in ancient times, believers deliberately killed people for sacrifices!"
