Saturday, April 7th, afternoon, Minakami-cho, Tone-gun, Gunma Prefecture, on the way to Aoiya Onsen Inn.

Mori asked Officer Yamamura to tell him about the body, and Officer Yamamura said, "Yes, the body was found by a staff member at the Aoi House Hotel, who said that he found the body under the thick leaves when he went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables." ”

Maori said, "I've been saying that for years. ”

Officer Yamamura said, "It's nothing, Mt. Tanigawa's record is thirty years, a pile of bones." ”

"Ahh

Yamazaki changed the subject, "Officer, please continue to talk about the situation of the remains. ”

Officer Yamamura said: "It's a strange thing to say that the body is a little strange, he has car keys on him, but we just haven't found a driver's license, although he has a cigarette on him, but we can't find a match or a lighter." ”

"It's not surprising, maybe it's because people are afraid that they will know who they are through their driver's licenses, so they throw away their driver's licenses and the matches may run out before they come in," Maori said. ”

"It's possible, but the most suspicious thing is that he died in the summer, but he was wearing a sweater," said the officer. ”

Conan asked, "How do you know that this man died in the summer?"

"Hey, it's you, you're the kid next to Miss Yukiko. Officer Yamamura asked excitedly, "Is Miss Kiko here too?" and Mr. Yusaku?"

"Ah," Conan said hurriedly, "No, no, they didn't come, I just went to Yamanai's house with Aunt Yukiko last time." ”

"That's it. Maori said.

Yamazaki said, "Please answer the question, officer, how do you know that this man died in the summer." ”

"Oh, we found a bottle of milk and a piece of bread in the backpack on the back of the body, both of which had an expiration date of July 12 four years ago, and an invoice for purchases at a nearby convenience store in his wallet," said the police officer. It's just that the milk and bread have long been crushed into shape by the impact of the bodies falling to the ground. ”

Maori asked, "Falling to the ground?"

"A rope was tied around the neck of the body, and a branch was broken from a tree next to him, probably after he hanged himself, because of strong winds or snow," the village officer said. ”

Maori asked, "So you're sure it's a suicide?"

Officer Yamamura smiled: "This is still to be decided, I was ordered to ask the clerk again this time, but now it's okay, I'm really lucky to have you as a detective." Then he asked, "By the way, why did you go there?"

"The Tokiwa Foundation thinks that this deceased may be a criminal who blackmailed them in the past," Mori said, "and asked me to investigate and confirm the identity of this person, and I will take a photo and send it to me." ”

Officer Yamamura smiled, "Tokiwa Foundation? I'd love to go to the Tokiwa Building, because Mt. Fuji must be super beautiful from there." Then he asked, "By the way, the body is all white bones, how can the Tokiwa Foundation suspect him?

"The news said that the color and style of his clothes, backpacks and other items, as well as his long hair, were very similar to the image of the prisoners back then. "As for the photographs, it seems that the Tokiwa Foundation has the technology to reconstruct the appearance of the deceased from the skull." ”

"I see. The mountain village officer said, then pointed to the building in front of him and said, "Ah, here we are, there is the Aoi House." ”……

Aoiya Onsen Ryokan.

After Maori and his party parked in front of the door, a middle-aged male waiter came to help them park, so Maori and his party got out of the car.

After entering the hotel, the mountain village police officer looked at the large hall and smiled, "Oh, this hotel is really good." ”

Maori asked, "Didn't you just say that you want to find someone to ask you again?"

Officer Yamamura said, "I didn't come to invite them to the police station last time, I met them at the police station. ”

A middle-aged male waiter came over, "Hello, Officer Yamamura. ”

"Ah, it's Mr. Urakawa. Officer Yamamura said, and then introduced, "This is Mr. Yoshiji Urakawa, who found the body. ”

"I was really shocked at the time, I never thought I'd find a pile of bones there. Urakawa said.

Maori asked, "Listen to you, why don't you seem to have found a body for the first time?"

Urakawa said, "Yes, because almost every time I play, I come to the store to pick wild vegetables, so there are naturally more opportunities." ”

Officer Yamamura asked, "What do you mean?"

"Everyone comes to us for skiing and hot springs, and in the summer, only people come to enjoy the cool in the summer, so the boss took us on a tour before the summer vacation, and by the way to see how other hotels do it. "At that time, it seemed to be the peak of suicide, and every year when we went out to play, we could hear that someone committed suicide in the nearby forest, and it seemed that there were more than a dozen people every year during the years of the economic crash." ”

The mountain village police officer sighed: "Our country really deserves to have the highest suicide rate in the world, why so many people can't think about it." ”

"Ahem!" Mori diverted the subject, "Mr. Urakawa, were you the only one who found the body in the first place?"

Yongji Urakawa said, "Yes, you only need one person to dig wild vegetables. ”

Conan asked, "Then every time my uncle went to pick wild vegetables alone?"

Urakawa said, "No, I'm going to take turns with Jimbo and my boss, Mr. Toda. Then he said, "The one who went to help you listen to the car is Jimbo, who is called Jimbo Masafu." ”

At this time, a middle-aged man came over with a waiter, "Pu Chuan, what are you doing? The guests are here, are you just at the door to greet them?"

"Huh?" said Urakawa quickly, "Boss, don't you know this person?" he is a police officer from a mountain village, and he and his colleagues asked me some questions. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I blame you. Boss Toda said, and then said to Yamazaki and the others, "Guests, please come in." As he spoke, he motioned for the waiter to come forward to greet the customer, and then asked Officer Yamamura and Mori, "Officer Yamamura, I wonder what you and your colleagues are here for?"

"Ah, no, I'm not a police officer. Maori said quickly.

"I'll introduce you," Officer Yamamura laughed, "this is the famous detective ......"

Boss Toda said happily: "Ah, I know, he is the follower of the Maori detective." ”

"Cough, cough ......" Maori was still proud of his statement, but he choked on his saliva before he laughed.

Boss Toda smiled: "Why are you only here now, Mr. Mori has already come first and is waiting for you in the room." ”

"What!" the crowd was taken aback.

Mei Daizi smiled: "It's fun now." ”

Yuanzi smiled: "Lan, you have more ......"

"Garden!" Lan said angrily.

Maori shouted, "You said Maori Kogoro is already at this hotel!"

"yes, just three hours ago. Boss Toda said, "Speaking of which, he is really kind, and our staff just went to ask him to help sign it, and I will find someone to frame it later." ”

"Damn. Maori gritted his teeth.

"What room does he live in?" asked Lan Stacked Sleeves.

"Mr. Maori lives in room 209. Boss Toda smiled.

"I'll go find him. Lan said angrily.

"Wait. Maori grabbed Lan, "Isn't there often this kind of plot in costume dramas? When the deity and the impostor meet, it is often the climax of the whole play, we will plan what we want, and endure what we can't bear, and wait until dinner to meet that guy in the restaurant, and then use reasoning questions to expose his true colors, and then he will probably be scared." He smirked as he spoke.

"What nonsense. Ran said, then looked around at Yamazaki, Midako, and Sonoko, "You guys can talk too." ”

Yamazaki said, "No comment. ”

"I think it's funny. The garden sneered.

"Me too. Mei Daiko smiled.

"Really. Lan grumbled, and then said to Officer Yamamura, "Officer Yamamura, you can explain it to them." ”

"Well," said Officer Yamamura with a smile, "that's a good idea." ”

"Huh, what?" Ran was taken aback.

"Alright, let's go inside. Maori laughed, and then followed Boss Toda with Officer Yamamura.

Lan whispered, "Really, is he really a detective?"

Yuan whispered, "I don't think it's reliable, but it's funny. ”

Yamazaki whispered: "Don't underestimate him, when anyone has a rookie, being able to become a criminal police officer in this way shows his ability." ”

Mei Daiko asked in a low voice, "What ability?" Officer Takagi is much better than him. ”

"Exam ability. Yamazaki chuckled.

Yuan Zi whispered: "Oh, listen to Kazuha, Hattori's father is very strict with Hattori's grades." ”

"Why did you get to Hattori?" Lan said angrily, "Really, I won't tell you." ”

At this time, everyone walked to the front desk to register, and the boss of Toda asked for Mori's name, and Mori thought for a while and smiled: "My name is Echigo Koemon, and I am an insignificant nobody, so you don't have to greet me much." ”

"That's a good point. Officer Yamamura applauded.

"Huh?" Boss Toda was stunned.

Yuanzi laughed quietly: "Lan, your father is too deep in the play." ”

Mei Daiko laughed quietly, "I feel like something is interesting." ”

"Leave him alone. Lan said annoyedly.

After that, Mori asked for the cheapest room, and Yamazaki, Maidiko, and Sonoko asked for the two most expensive rooms.

After Boss Toda registered, he smiled at Maori and said, "By the way, Mr. Toyama, I wonder if I can ask you for a favor?"

"What?" asked Maori.

Boss Toda smiled: "It's been a few hours since Mr. Mori took that suitcase, and I don't know if he solved the puzzle inside, please help me take a look." ”

"What ...... me," Maori said halfway through and quickly changed his words, "What are you talking about?"

"You don't know?" asked Boss Toda suspiciously, "Isn't Mr. Mori here for this?"

"Well, he hasn't told me yet," Maori asked, "can you please tell me?"

"Of course. "It's been a long time coming, and one autumn a long-haired man in a red coat stayed here, and when he left, he said he wanted me to keep a letter and a suitcase, and said that even if he died, he would come and get it in a year." ”

"How do you take it when you're dead?" said to Ran in an eerie tone, "Is it a ghost?"

"Ahh

"Wait, the long-haired man in the red coat?" asked the mountain village officer, "he can't be the pile of bones he has now, right?"

"I don't know. Boss Toda said, "I can't remember what he looks like for a long time." ”

The mountain village police officer asked, "Why didn't you tell our police about this?"

Boss Yuantian said: "Because I can't be sure, it's all white bones." ”

"Ha, I see," Maori said, "you must have wanted to keep the contents of the box to yourself, so you didn't dare tell the police." ”

"What is it?" asked Officer Yamamura, and then reacted and exclaimed, "It's 100 million yen." ”

"What!" exclaimed Boss Toda, "there's that kind of thing, it's just a newspaper, a newspaper." ”

"Newspapers, don't quibble," Mori laughed, "You must have waited for the man to leave, and couldn't help but read the letter, and found that it said that there was 100 million yen in the box, and you opened it and found that it was really the case, so you chased after the man and killed him, and then found a place to bury it, and then dug it out for people to find after the body became white bones, so that people thought that it was the person who committed suicide here before." ”

"It's so, it's so exciting. The mountain village officer applauded, "It's really Mao, uh, Lord Yuanshan." ”

"No, it's not like that. Boss Toda sweated down, "It's really a newspaper in it, Mr. Officer, you have to believe me." ”

"I believe the box is now filled with newspapers, because it was put in, and you exchanged the newspapers for the money inside. Officer Yamamura laughed, "It's great that a murder was solved with your hands on it." ”

"It's not like that. Boss Toda shouted, and continued, "By the way, Mr. Mori, Mr. Mori, he will definitely help me clear my name." With that, he ran away.

"Mr. Toyama?" asked Officer Yamamura to Maori.

"It's better to debunk that imposter sooner, let's go. Maori laughed. ……
