Chapter 13: The First Night Sacrifice Murder in the World
A private hot spring at a hot spring inn in Saitama Prefecture. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
A small hamster floats on its back on the surface of the hot spring water.
"Hmm. We didn't go wrong with a holiday vacation. It's really comfortable to soak in the hot spring after dinner~~"
Naru was wrapped in a bath towel and lay in the hot spring with a pleasant expression on her face.
"Well, that's right. Soak in the hot springs in complete relaxation and wash away the fatigue of the body and mind. It's a relief from the stressful living environment all of a sudden. ”
Yi Bin, who was also wrapped in a bath towel and lying in the hot spring next to Naru, closed his eyes and looked like he was enjoying himself.
"Yibin, how long will the night festival start? We won't go back late? ”
Naru asked lazily as she lay in the hot spring.
"Don't worry. Naru, I've already set the alarm for half past seven. Definitely catching up. ”
Yibin also replied lazily lying in the hot spring.
。。。。。。
"Jingle ~~~~"
Well? Time's up. Yi Bin, who heard the bell, opened his eyes.
"Yibin? Are you leaving? ”
Naru, who heard the bell, also sat up and asked.
"Hmm. Get up. Naru, it's time to get ready to go to the first festival in the world. ”
Yibin stood up from the hot spring. I took off my bath towel and put on my bathrobe.
"Naru. Hurry up and get up. We're going to get ready to go. ”
Yi Bin handed his hand to Naru, who was still sitting in the hot spring. He grabbed Naru's outstretched right hand and pulled her up.
After Naru also changed into a bathrobe, the little hamster ran to the side and lay on his shoulder, and the two of them left the hotel and walked towards the scene of the world's first festival.
"Yibin, I want to eat takoyaki."
"Yibin, I want to eat red bean balls."
"Yibin, I want to eat grilled squid."
"Yibin, I want to eat fried noodles."
"Yibin, I want to..."
Along the way, Yibin and Naru walked past various food stalls. And Naru's 'I'm going to eat... The voice never stopped.
Touching Naru's flat little belly, Yibin really didn't know how Naru ate so many things into his stomach. And the stomach doesn't look like it's eaten a lot at all.
"Ahh Yibin, you see there's a nesting doll stall over there, let's go play it, okay? ”
Naru suddenly grabbed Yibin's arm and stopped.
"Okay. Let's go over then. ”
"Boss, here are ten rings."
I saw that it was written in front of the stall, and the ring was 100 yuan. Yibin handed 1,000 yuan to the boss.
Hand the collar to an excited Naru.
Naru excitedly took the collar. After taking out a ring from it, aiming at the doll you want, she carefully went out.
It's a pity that it didn't hit. Undeterred, however, Naru continued to throw the ring at the bear doll she wanted.
It may be that Naru doesn't have the talent to still have rings, so he has not put on a bear doll for nine rings.
Because she didn't fit the bear doll she wanted, Naru herself became frustrated.
"Naru, let me come."
He took the last ring from Naru's hand.
Pinched the ring with two fingers, and just casually held the bear doll that Naru had been trying to set but couldn't.
"Yay~~"
And Naru saw that Yibin had caught the bear doll he wanted, and instantly jumped up happily and hugged Yibin.
"This young lady, your boyfriend is amazing!"
The boss handed the bear doll to Naru.
"Hmm"
Naru took the bear doll from the boss's hand, and then kissed Yibin on the face again.
"Fool, what you want. I'll give it to you! ”
Yibin scratched Naru's nose and said dotingly.
"Huh? Isn't this Senior Yibin and Sister Nai studying abroad? You have also come to see the memorial. ”
Xiaolan asked in surprise when she saw Yibin and Naru in front of her.
"Well, yes, I didn't expect to meet you and Detective Mori Kogoro here. Oh, and by the way, there's Conan's little ghost. ”
Yibin turned around and saw Xiaolan holding Conan, and Kogoro next to him said.
"Yes, because it's a holiday, all the family comes out to relax."
"Hey!!"
Conan had a speechless expression on his face after hearing Yibin call him a little ghost.
"Ahh Excuse me, but could you please take a picture for me? ”
A man next to him, who was out of breath and sweating slightly, came over to Xiaolan and asked.
"Okay, no problem."
The kind-hearted Xiaolan agreed without hesitation.
The man also asked Xiaolan to use the man's own camera to take pictures against the background of the world's first 'one'.
I learned about it in the introduction of the man that followed. His name is Sei Shinichi, and he is a writer who is collecting accounts of the customs of various local festivals. So I took a lot of photos.
Then I asked Xiaolan to help take a few more photos.
"You're Mr. Sei Shinichi. I'm a police officer from Saitama Prefecture, my surname is Yokozo, and I have a case about Mr. Tomo Imatake, so I would like to ask you about it. ”
A man who claimed to be a police officer suddenly stood behind Sei Shinichi and took out his ID and said.
"Imatake? Did something happen to him? ”
Sei asked suspiciously.
"He's been killed."
"It's in the hotel room where you stayed with him."
The policeman said with a serious face.
And Shijing Xuanichi had a shocked expression on his face when he heard the news.
The six followed the Henggou policeman back to the hotel where the crime occurred.
"The murder weapon was a pistol, the time of the crime was 8:2 or 3 p.m., the prisoner was a young man, and he escaped from the room after the murder."
Officer Yokogou stated the approximate time of the crime, as well as the sex of the killer and the murder weapon. Then check with the innkeeper.
"That's right. At that time, television began to broadcast the memorial service. So there can be no mistake. ”
The innkeeper said with certainty.
Kogoro was on the sidelines to inspect the body. Conan is also on the side of the inspection of the certification. However, Kogoro didn't seem to notice Conan who ran to the scene of the crime because he was too focused.
"Hey! (#'O′) Who are you? ”
Officer Yokozo suddenly found Kogoro and Conan squatting next to the corpse, and shouted loudly.
"Oh? I'm sorry. I'm a detective! ”
Kogoro stood up and said stinkily.
"Isn't it! You. You're that Detective Mr. Kogoro Mori? ”
And the officer of the horizontal ditch suddenly looked awake.
"Yes, yes. That's right, Mori Kogoro is me. ”
After confirming the identity of Mori Kogoro, Officer Yokozo grabbed Mori Kogoro's hand with a look of adoration. He said that he often reads reports on Kogoro Maori. A look of great admiration for Maori Kogoro.。
In the end, he asked Kogoro to check the scene directly, and hoped that Kogoro could find out the murderer directly.
The body fell to the ground in its pajamas. There was still tooth powder left in the deceased's mouth. An empty wallet sits next to the entity. Not far from the deceased, a toothbrush that also had tooth powder left on it fell to the ground. Then the whole room was very chaotic. It was as if a thief had turned the whole room over.
"It looks like a robbery case."
Kogoro stood up and lit a cigarette and said.
"It's not a robbery case."
Yi Bin said as he stood by the door and put his arm around Naru's shoulder.
"Although the empty wallet left at the scene from the scene looks like a murder after a burglary. But. It's just a disguise for the murderer. ”
Yibin had a look on his face that saw through everything.
The other people present all looked at him when they heard Yi Bin's words.
"First of all, the Henggou police officer said before that the murder weapon was a pistol, and the murderer escaped from the hotel after the murder. Judging from the degree of chaos on the scene, it is obvious that it cannot be caused in a short period of time. ”
"The second point, the empty wallet that fell to the ground. Do you think a burglary with a gun would deliberately take the cash out of his wallet and throw it on the ground after the killing? All, this is the same as the first point just now, the murderer deliberately arranged to confuse the police. ”
"The third point is from the pajamas worn by the deceased, the residual tooth powder in his mouth, and the toothbrush that fell on the ground. The deceased was shot at head from the front while his teeth were being brushed. From this it is clear that the deceased was defenseless against the murderer. Other words. The murderer was an acquaintance or even a good friend of the deceased! ”
"So, Mr. Sei Shini, who lived with the deceased."
Yibin hugged Naru with a confident expression.
"What a joke! Little ghost, the murder happened around eight o'clock, but I have a complete alibi! Because at the same time, I had already gone to see the first night of the celebration in the world. We met you there, didn't we! ”
Shijing Xuanyi said quibly.
"Yes, you did meet us, but it seems like the second half."
Kogoro said thoughtfully with his hand on the bar.
"Really, I went there at the beginning, and I was taking pictures of all of them. If you still think I'm lying, take this and rinse it up. There should be proof that I wasn't there. ”
Shinichi took a camera out of his pocket and handed it to Officer Yokozo.
And Yi Bin looked at Sei Xuanyi with a faint smile on his face, as if he was watching a clown desperately go to the audience.
After a while, the photos were washed out.
There are seven photos in total. They are all photos taken by Sei Shinichi at the first night of the world's festival.
"Mr. Sei Shinichi, thank you so much for keeping the evidence so well. Otherwise, the police will have to trouble the police and gentlemen to look for the fingerprints of the murderer in the nearby river. ”
Yi Bin said to Seii Shinichi with the photo he took from Mr. Policeman.
"Everybody sees it clearly. In this photo, which only has the word 'day', Sei Shinichi is on his left wrist, although he is not wearing a watch like Sei Shinichi now. But the whole wrist is black. ”
"And Mr. Sei Xuani's left wrist now has a piece of skin on his left wrist that has not been exposed to the sun because he is wearing a watch, and it looks very fair! That illustrates. These photos were taken a year ago. And not this time. ”
"So, you're the murderer, right? Mr. Sei Shinichi. ”
When he said this, Yi Bin seemed to have mastered the whole world.
Hear the evidence that Yi Bin pointed out at the end. Shijing became decadent all of a sudden.
"That's right. I killed people. I had already planned to kill Kanetake a year ago. ”
"A year ago, he robbed me of my chance to become famous! That was my last chance to block everything! And he. But they robbed me of my opportunity as if they were mocking me! So! I'm going to kill him! ”
Shijing Xuanyi said with a face full of unwillingness.
"Jin Zhuzhi has robbed you of your chance! You're going to kill him? ”
"The other party can rely on their fame to steal your chance. But fame is also part of his strength. ”
"And you can be easily robbed of your chance to become famous! It means that your strength is still not enough. ”
"You don't think about how to improve your strength! But they are planning how to kill people who are stronger than you. ”
"People like you can never make it!"
Yi Bin's sharp words hit the hearts of everyone present.
And Sei Xuanichi was taken away by the police in silence and never said a word.
。。。。。。
A month later.
Seii was poisoned in prison.
At the scene, only a card printed with a black crystal ball remained.
The police claimed that Sei Xuanyi committed suicide in fear of crime!
"Damn! It's that dark crystal again! ”
In the Metropolitan Police Department, Officer Twilight growls angrily as he holds the card with the black crystal ball printed on it in his hand.
Person. Always take responsibility for what you have done!
