Wednesday, March 31, Okayama Prefecture, Orong Kurashiki Park Hotel.

After a big walk around the ghost city, Maori and his party came back for lunch, but when Ayumi, Motota, and Mitsuhiko rushed to enter the door first, suddenly a short-haired woman was pushed out, and she happened to bump into Ayumi and knocked Ayumi down.

Maori and the others saw clearly outside the door, it was three men and two women, five young people, a blonde man, a man in a trench coat, a man in casual clothes, a woman with long hair, and a woman with short hair.

"Ayumi!"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Mitsuhiko and Motota saw Ayumi fall and hurriedly went to see Ayumi.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The short-haired woman quickly apologized and helped Ayumi up, "Are you okay?"

The blonde man who pushed the man said, "Sorry, we didn't mean to. ”

Maori and the others rushed in, as did the short-haired woman's companion, and the hotel's security guards arrived.

The security guard at the hotel understood the situation and asked Ayumi, "Kid, is there anything uncomfortable?"

"Nope. Ayumi said.

"Ahem," the man in casual clothes handed over his business card, "Everyone, I'm Naoto Momoi, if you have any questions, you can contact me." ”

"Ha, is this also a pro-people campaign activity?" the short-haired woman laughed, "Another subject." ”

Maori took the business card, "Campaign office?"

"Yes, I participated in this local election. Naoto Momoi said.

Dr. Asasa smiled, "Oh, you don't look like you're even thirty years old, you're really young." ”

"It's over. Naoto Momoi said.

"Okay, since it's okay, then I'll go first. The blonde man said.

The long-haired woman said, "It's hard to get together, why don't we have a lunch together." ”

"I'm okay with that. The man in the trench coat said.

"I can't get enough of the news. The short-haired woman laughed.

"Okay, let's remember that guy. The blonde man's words silenced his companions.

After separating from the five of Momoi, Mori and his party also went to lunch.

After the meal, the group went to the famous Kurashiki Bikan area, which was renovated from the Kurashiki Textile Factory complex, and was attached to the Ohara Museum of Art, Shinkei Garden, Kurashiki Archaeological Museum, Kurashiki Minmin Museum, and other local culture museums, as well as various shops and residences.

And not all of them are public, such as the old Ohara family residence of the Ohara chaebol to which Kurashiki Textile belongs, and the Ohara family residence where Emperor Showa once lived.

The founder of the Ohara zaibatsu was Ohara Sunzaburo, the third son of a large landowner, but both of his ancestors died young, and he inherited the family business, and his wife was the daughter of Ishii Juji, a philanthropist born as a low-ranking samurai.

Ishii established the Okayama Orphanage ten times, and a bronze statue of its person was erected in the Miyazaki Prefectural Comprehensive Culture Park.

The combination of Ohara Sunzaburo and the Ishii family is about a combination of a rich man and a virtuous person, and it is maliciously speculated that it is to improve the family character, because being a merchant was not a good profession at that time.

Ohara Sunzaburo succeeded, and his son, Soichiro Ohara, married the granddaughter of the Marquis of the Satsuma Domain, Michikani Nozu, while his eldest granddaughter married Inukai Yasuhiko, the grandson of Inukai Takeshi, and the second granddaughter married Shoda Osabi, the second son of Eizaburo Shoda.

Michikani Nozu is the Marquis of the First Class of the Marquis of the Great Order of Merit, the 29th Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Shoji of the First Rank, and Eizaburo Shoda is the father of the current Empress, and Osamu Shoda is the younger brother of the current Empress.

These kinship relationships have been arranged downward, and they can probably wipe out all the political bureaucrats in Japan, and then half of the business entrepreneurs, so it can be said that the family power of the Ohara family is very strong. ……

After visiting the museum exhibition related to the Ohara family, the Maori people stopped at Heitsuiken.

Ping Cuixuan is a foodie's paradise, with thousands of delicious delicacies from all over the country, and of course, most of them only have menus, and it depends on your luck to eat, after all, this is a mom-and-pop shop with only a few workers.

After buying some snacks, everyone went to the exhibition hall of the girl manga artist Yuiko Igarashi. ……

Walking around the Kurashiki area, Mori and his party were about to evacuate when they heard the sound of sirens.

Mori and Conan immediately searched for their voices, and the three of them followed, and the others could only follow. ……

Outside a bush, ambulance crews are retreating with a woman covered in blood, and the police have set up a cordon, apparently a homicide.

Maori noticed that the woman's clothes looked like the short-haired woman he had met earlier, and immediately stepped forward to tell the police officer guarding the cordon that he had seen the victim.

After the police report, Mori was invited in, Conan mixed in, and the others were slow to go, blocked outside the cordon, and the tourists were onlookers. ……

Scene.

Mori introduced himself without waiting for the officer to ask questions, and told the officer that it was located in the bush and that it was likely that an acquaintance had committed the crime, and then gave the officer the business card named Naoto Momoi, and told the officer that there seemed to be a conflict between them.

"Well, Detective Maori, you can stay," the officer said, "by the way, I'm Tsuyama." "Then let the subordinates go down and ask Naoto Momoi.

"Hello, Officer Tsuyama. "Maori is happy.

"Here's how it is," Officer Tsuyama said, "about five minutes ago, a tour group found the victim, and like you said, ordinary people don't come to the bushes, so it's very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime, and she also left a death message." ”

Maori asked, "Is this ONI ghost on the ground?"

"Yes, but there's something weird," Officer Tsuyama said, "and although there were scattered belongings on the ground and her bag was turned over, her injury was due to blood loss in the carotid artery, which means that she had some time to call for help before she lost consciousness." ”

Maori said: "That is to say, she was controlled by someone at the time, or she was stunned, and this death message is likely to be written by the murderer, and the property is also deliberately laid by the murderer." ”

Officer Tsuyama said, "Yes, but the specific results of the examination will depend on the results of the hospital to see if there are any binding marks on the victim's body and whether the wound has a contraction reaction when cut." ”……

Soon, Naoto Momoi was invited, and Officer Yamazu showed him his police ID card and learned something from him.

Kan Shengzi, a reporter, the five of them were classmates in elementary school, and it happened that Naoto Momoi was going to marry Kijima Yayoi, so he brought them all in, and the three companions were Kijima Yayoi, Sarudo Kengo, and Ghost Kan Mamoru.

"Ghost?" said Maori, "Officer, that murderer is probably him." ”

Officer Tsuyama asked for the contact information of the three of them, and asked the three officers to go on another run.

Conan asked Naoto Momoi, "Now, you are only looking for the three of them, do you have any special relationship with each other?"

Naoto Momoi said, "Yes, we used to act in dramas. ”

"It can't be Momotaro, right?" asked Conan.

"That's right," Mori said with a smile, "Naoto Momoi, Yayoi Kijima, Kengo Saruto, Seiko, and Akikan Mamoru are just the Peach Pheasant Ape Inuki in other words." ”

"It was a coincidence," Naoto Momoi recalled, "but it was because of this that we played Momotaro in the first place." ”……

Soon after, Kijima Yayoi, Sarudo Kengo, and Akikan Mamoru were also invited.

Without being present to testify, Kijima Yayoi and Momoi Naoto were walking in the Kurashiki Bikan area, but they were an unmarried couple and could not testify to each other, while Kengo Sarutati and Kikan Mamoru had drunk too much at noon and had been sleeping at home, and their house was less than ten minutes away from here, that is, all four of them did not have an alibi.

There is no way but to take them all away to assist in the investigation and confirm their innocence, so that this incident can be defined as an accidental bandit. ……

Police station.

This time, Yamazaki and others followed Mori into the investigation team, and although they were only observers, they also learned about the incident.

Seeing that the time was getting late, Yamazaki asked the Park Hotel Oeikurashiki to bring the dinner to the RV, plus supper, and then called home to report, Uncle Maori was involved in the incident again, and could only take the Shinkansen home tomorrow morning, which made Miyamoto Miko cry and laugh. ……

Soon after, Yamazaki received a call that the RV was coming, so he parked the car near the police station where he could see the gate of the police station. ……

After dinner in the RV outside the police station, everyone stayed in the RV, and it was still comfortable to sit on the sofa in the car than to wait in the hard chairs of the police station. ……
