Saturday, December 23rd, evening, Gunma Prefecture, Akaishu Onsen Ryokan.

"What! The crew doesn't know the deceased?" everyone was surprised.

Conan couldn't help but suggest: "Officer, why don't you take out the photo of the deceased and show it to everyone." ”

"Yes, nobody's going to know him. The village police officer asked his subordinates to take out photos of the deceased for everyone to see, and also asked them to take the photos of their mobile phones to look for clues in other places.

Yamazaki pondered in his heart that the crew didn't know the deceased HOZUMI, which made the identity of the deceased confusing, and even the words said by the deceased could not be determined, which made the incident a little difficult to start.

The deceased claimed to have introduced this place to the crew of the TV series "Winter Red Leaves", because he was familiar with this place, and was helping to find the scenes of the TV series "Winter Red Leaves", and now these are doubtful.

However, there is one point, he did borrow the garden's mobile phone to call the Chishu Hot Spring Hotel and asked the boss to leave a message.

In other words, no matter who he leaves a message to, whether this person is a fan of "Winter Red Leaves" or not, the person who accepts the message is a major suspect, this is certain.

And now, there are three people in the Akaishu Onsen Ryokan who do not have an alibi.

Let's not talk about it, did the deceased lie about the message, the other party did not send a text message, and he did not stay at the Chishu Hot Spring Hotel at all today, or the other party sent a text message, but there was actually someone else staying at the hotel.

In short, these three people can be regarded as suspects first and investigated by exclusion, and the short and fat old man is relatively very suspicious.

After the photos were passed, no one knew the deceased.

However, Yamazaki found that the short and fat old man seemed to know some of the customers, the noisy people in the restaurant during afternoon tea.

They exchanged glances from time to time, and they seemed to be dominated by short and fat old men.

Of course, this is something that cannot be determined.

However, the short and fat old man was even more suspicious, because there were more accomplices, and it happened that the deceased should have been blocked in the escape, and with the short and fat old man's footsteps, he would definitely not be able to catch up.

Although these people have alibi, but these people are accomplices, there are more people who are accomplices.

Of course, this is something that cannot be determined, and it is not even a guess, it can only be said to be conjecture.

While Yamazaki was thinking, the guests spoke out one after another, asking the Yamamura police officer to let them go, and since they were fine, they should not delay their rest.

The village officer agreed, and dismissed the group, including the three, but told them not to leave the area.

At this time, the mountain village police officer received a call from the police officer and found a suspicious tent in the woods, although it was empty, but it was certain that before, no, there were people living in it all the time.

The mountain village police officer said: "Camping, it has nothing to do with this case, so don't worry about it." ”

Yamazaki had an idea, "No, officer, since he lives in the woods, he may not have witnessed the incident." ”

"That's right, eyewitnesses. Officer Yamamura immediately ordered the few remaining officers to find someone.

Conan ran out among several police officers, he understood what Yamazaki meant, since there was no clue, make a clue, the camper was very likely to become a witness, as long as the prisoner knew that there was such a camper, he would definitely do something.

"Conan, Conan," Lan didn't call out to Conan, and couldn't help but complain, "Really, running around so late." ”

Yuan Tai proposed, "Okay, let's go too." ”

"Don't go, you kids stay here. Yamazaki said, "Dr. Asasa, you look at them. ”

"I see. Dr. Asa replied.

"Forget it, I'll accompany Lan to find you, lest Lan get lost in the woods. The garden said.

Hondo Yingyou said: "I'll go too, one more person and one more helper." ”

"Don't go, classmate, it's dark now, and you'll fall during the day, and now if you fall and get hurt, you'll be in trouble. "Delya, Apollaco, Maylis, stay too." ”

"Okay, be careful. ”……

Soon after, deep in the woods.

Kyogoku found himself surrounded by a group of ill-intentioned thugs, and the reason why he said that he was a bad one was because they all had iron rods, bats, and obvious controlled knives in their hands.

Kyogoku put down his backpack and squinted his eyes around them under their flashlight, "Who are you?"

Now it's very dark, and all the light comes from the other party's flashlight, and the light is dazzling, which is very unfavorable.

"I've found you. ”

"It doesn't matter who we are. ”

"It's your bad life. ”

"Suffer death!"

"Ahh

Kyogoku Zhen struck first, kicked the iron bar man A, and then frowned.

If it were another season, this kick would be enough to take down the opponent and make it impossible for the opponent to get up, but now it's winter and the clothes are thicker, and this kick is not powerful enough to take the opponent down.

Flashed the bat, man A, and threw his fist to hit another person attacking from behind, listening to the friction of the leaves under his feet.

However, the shiny reflection I saw in the corner of my eye found that it was Knife Man A, and he was holding a knife in his hand.

Although I can't see the specific action, I can guess that the knife man A must have cut his wrist with a vertical knife.

Kyogoku really didn't have time to close his fist, so he hurriedly kicked his feet and jumped back, flashing in time, and his fist could feel the cold wind on the knife.

However, there is wind in the back of the head, and someone joins the battlefield.

Kyogoku Zhen immediately judged that it was baseball man B, so he lowered his head and kicked him with his right foot back, kicking him out of the battlefield.

At this time, the knife man A picked up his backhand and cut Kyogoku Shin's face with a knife.

Kyogoku Zhen used his waist and legs hard, straightened his legs, and while flashing the knife momentum, the sole of his right foot pressed on the chin of knife man A.

However, the bat man A smashed from the left side, Kyogoku really couldn't dodge, and his left arm resisted, and his left leg couldn't support the huge thrust, and he was smashed and staggered.

At the same time, the knife man A flew up and smashed on the iron bar man A who got up again, and the two rolled together.

Without waiting for Kyogoku to really stand firm, the bat man A followed up with another stick.

Kyogoku Shin flashed sideways and punched him in the stomach, while he was hit in the back by the iron bar man B, who had just joined the battlefield, and rushed out.

He was greeted by Knife Man B, with a diagonal slash.

Kyogoku Zhen pounced forward and raised his legs, supported the ground with his hands, and after letting go of the blade, he kicked his right foot on the door in front of him, and used the sole of his left foot to block the iron rod pursued by Iron Bar Man B.

At the same time, the palm of the hand rotates sideways over the body, widening the distance, and the body rotates sideways to stand up, but the soles of the feet are numb.

These guys seem to be a rabble, but there is still cooperation, and they are obviously experienced in fighting.

Iron bar man A came up again, but he was just shaking, iron bar man B, bat man A, left and right sandwich.

At the same time, Kyogoku Shin's eyes were dazzled by the light of several flashlights, and his vision was unknown.

Not good.

Kyogoku really sensed the danger, not the bats and iron rods that were being struck, but the stinging knives.

It's Iron Bar Guy A, who picked up Knife Guy A's knife when he came and hid it behind him.

Kyogoku really retreated, retreated, but did not dodge the stab of the iron rod man A, and Kyogoku really unfortunately hit the trunk of the tree.

Fortunately, although the knife pierced into Kyogoku's clothes, along the left waist, the knife also pierced deeply into the trunk of the tree, and there was no way to cut it horizontally for a while.

Kyogoku didn't have time to punch, and the bats and iron bars came one after another, and Kyogoku could only resist with his arms tight.

Fortunately in the misfortune, their cooperation is only average, otherwise as long as they strike from the right side alone, Kyogoku is bound to hit the knife himself.

Although it hurts now, the injury is not serious.

Taking advantage of the retreat of the bat and the iron bar, Kyogoku really pulled hard, tore his clothes, pulled away a little, and kicked out the iron bar man A, who was drawing a knife from the tree, and the knife was also taken out.

However, Kyogoku took another blow, and the front end of the bat hit the shoulder.

Kyogoku Ma suddenly felt a numb pain in his arm, and decided to retreat, he couldn't be entangled like this. ……

On the other side, in the woods.

Conan, who followed the police out and hid in the shadows, found five people running over in a hurry, one of whom was the short and fat old man among the three suspects.

Conan remembered that his name was Tatsuzo Mianguan, and immediately chased after him.

HOZUMI MEANS THAT ON AUGUST 1, PEOPLE PLUCK EARS OF RICE TO WORSHIP THE GODS, WHICH IS EAR PICKING.

IN THE PAST, PEOPLE WOULD TAKE OUT THE COTTON IN THEIR CLOTHES AND TURN IT INTO SUMMER CLOTHES, AND THERE WAS WATANUKI MIANBAI, AND THEN IT EVOLVED INTO WATANUKI MIAN, WHICH WAS APRIL 1.

The katakana of HOZUMI can clearly know who he is, and there should only be people with the same form of surname.

Of course, this reasoning is a bit far-fetched, and HOZUMI can also be agreed by both parties first.

However, Mianguan Chensan appeared in a hurry at this time and ran towards the mountain, which is the best evidence.

And he also brought his accomplices, which is in line with the fact that the deceased was stabbed twice.

TSUTSUZO MIKAN CAN'T RUN FAST, SO AFTER STABBING MR. HOZUMI, MR. HOZUMI RUNS AWAY, AND HE CAN ONLY RELY ON HIS ACCOMPLICES TO INTERCEPT MR. HOZUMI.

Conan followed Mianguanchen and the three or five people all the way to a tree with a red handkerchief, and suddenly thought that they were going to dig something. ……
