Chapter 138: The fuse of the first murder

"Five leaves."

"What?"

"What are you going to give me for Father's Day?"

Qinghai Chuantang was suddenly choked, turned his head to the side and coughed desperately.

It is said that women are easy to be cautious, and sometimes men are no exception, and I still remember this stubble.

If it weren't for the promise not to use hypnosis on him, otherwise the damn black history would have been wiped out.

She picked up the milk on the table, drank it down, and breathed a sigh of relief.

said seriously: "You have to go to prison in the United States." ”

This story tells us that if you have nothing to do, don't recognize your relatives indiscriminately, otherwise you will easily get caught in pigtails.

The next day, Okiya was invited by Qinghai Chuantang to go to Ryugu Hot Springs, which used to be known as the "Land of Beauty".

The reason is that it just so happens that the things she bought come with a voucher for three days and two nights in a hot spring hotel.

"Are you sure you didn't mean to?"

"I swear, I didn't mean to."

Qinghai Chuantang's expression was sincere and his attitude was sincere, but he said in his heart: but intentionally.

"Look," she said, pointing to the sign ahead, "it says we're two kilometers away from Hirano Onsen." ”

The mountain road is rugged and difficult, and every step is a test of perseverance.

As they passed by the sign, the Qinghai begonia inadvertently collided with it, causing the arrow to point to a path.

Hirano Onsen is the real name of the hot spring.

The name of the place is "Ryugu Onsen", and the hot spring building is also known as "Ryugu Castle".

When the dirt road gradually turned into a stone staircase downward, I finally saw the dragon palace castle in the distance, which was quite gorgeous in this mountain field, and it was just the sea water that made it come true.

Birdsong from time to time among the trees, accompanied by the breeze blowing, driving the leaves to sway slightly.

"It's fun to come to this kind of nature once in a while to enjoy it."

Qinghai Chuantang looked into the distance and let out a surprised exclamation.

After saying that, she turned to look at Okiya, and noticed that the other party's breathing was not very steady.

So he took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to him.

said with a smile: "If a man wants a good kidney, he must drink kidney treasure." A bottle of refreshing brainwashing ......"

After Okiya took it, he took a few sips of water and didn't say anything, just silently tightened the cap.

Then he took a few steps forward and carried it on his shoulders at once.

Qinghai Chuantang felt as if he had become a bag of rice.

"Akai, you let me down!"

"Don't let go."

At this moment, an exclamation came from the direction of the hotel, which resounded through the sky.

In the absence of Conan, something happened.

Could it be that he is actually the one with the Grim Reaper buff?

After Okiya put down the Qinghai begonia, he finally saw what it means to drive a sprint.

"Running faster than a rabbit......"

A woman with long hair stood aside with her hands folded and a look of bewilderment on her face.

In front of the door, a woman in a kimono kept calling "boss lady".

The door is hollow out, so you can see the inside clearly.

"Where's the key?"

"Only the proprietress has it, locked from the inside."

"Sister Xiaolan, please kick the door open!"

Qinghai Chuantang, who had just run to the hotel, heard this familiar voice and instantly stopped. Almost a center of gravity is unstable, and you have to have a close contact with the earth.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Fortunately, when Xiaolan was about to sink into the dantian, a man rushed over with a crowbar and finally pried open the door.

Inside, a woman in a kimono was lying on the ground.

Because of the eye makeup, a black tear stain was left on his face, which flowed down from the corner of his eye to the ear.

"Hostess!"

"Mom's ......"

The interior of the house is like a treasure trove, with many ancient paintings and porcelain.

The deceased was the hostess of the inn, Miki Iya, 60 years old.

I came in last night and haven't been out.

The time of death, presumably around nine o'clock last night.

The murder weapon was a vase not far from the corpse, knocked on the right side of the head.

Only incomplete fingerprints are not enough for identification.

"Below is the Longgong Hot Spring Police Station, the Minister of King Kong Inspection. Unexpectedly, the first homicide occurred in this administrative district outside the city. ”

The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, indicating that this really had nothing to do with him.

After the forensic investigation was over, the body was naturally taken away.

Qinghai Chuantang picked up the empty teacup on the table, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

Immediately afterwards, he walked to the vase again, reached out and touched the wet carpet, rubbed his fingers a few times, and felt a little slippery.

"This case is really strange. The lock was locked from the inside, but how did the prisoner jump out? ”

After finishing speaking, King Kong was surprised and showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Could it be that this is the legendary secret room murder?"

The only key was the one around the boss's neck, and the key was still hanging on her when she found it.

The windows are all equipped with anti-theft nets, and they are fixed windows that cannot be removed from the outside.

There are no traps or secret doors on the walls.

Moreover, the possibility of suicide is also ruled out.

It's the real, perfect secret room!

"Now, Minister Kong."

Conan walked up to King Kong with a malicious smile on his face.

King Kong leaned down with some confusion and looked at him: "Little brother, what's wrong?" ”

"That big sister is a detective. She said that if all the people in the hotel were called to inquire about the situation, the murderer would soon be found. ”

As he spoke, Conan pointed in the direction where Qinghai Chuantang was standing.

At this time, she was happily watching "Detective Wang Nanke", completely unaware that she was also placed by Conan.

Except for a few people who could already be ruled out, the rest of the people all gathered in the main hall.

The woman in the black kimono is the eldest daughter of the deceased Miki Iya, and Chiharu, who also serves as a customer service manager.

The woman wearing the ruffled sleeve dress is the second daughter, Tian Ling, who serves as the sales director.

The man with the three-seven-point hairstyle is the head chef Samura.

The middle-aged man who looks a little older is the porter Yoshikawa.

At that time, the woman who called the boss lady at the scene was named Naoko Kuki. She was very beautiful, so she served as a hostess at the hotel.

"Just say the name."

"Huh?"

"As a good detective, you can read the whole message of a person by looking at his facial expressions and clothing."

At this time, Qinghai Chuantang, I don't know when he changed into Sherlock Holmes clothes, and he still has a pipe in his hand, looking a bit like a gentleman detective.

There was a look of "disbelief" on everyone's faces.

"Miss Chiharu and Miss Tian Ling, the two of you are not the biological daughters of the deceased Miji, she is your stepmother."

Their expressions gradually became surprised, and they looked at each other.

"And your father has passed away. You and Mrs. Miji, who are not related by blood, run this hotel together. Am I right? ”

Chiharu nodded slightly, "Yes." ”

"Miss Naoko, I've been working at this hotel for three years. Because of her beauty, she was bullied by Miss Chiharu and Miss Tian Ling. ”

"Mr. Samura, the head chef, has a criminal record of serving a prison sentence for assault. Then there's the porter, Mr. Yoshikawa, the oldest of all you, the only native of all the people. ”

The melon-eating crowd became dumbfounded, and even Conan was shocked, is this the profiler?

"Awesome, that's all right."

Yoshikawa looked at her with an incredible expression, as if a miracle had befallen her.

In fact, Qinghai Chuantang only secretly found King Kong after realizing Conan's purpose and asked the other party to tell her what he knew.

I didn't have a script, how could I find the murderer quickly just by listening to personal information!

Sneaking a glance at Conan, looking at the lingering shock on the other party's face, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, it seemed that the goal had been achieved.

"You're the first guest to find the victim, right?"

"Yes, my name is Taniguchi."

When Tian Ling heard this, she immediately turned around and looked at her: "Could it be that you are Miss Taniguchi Maya of Kobe Sightseeing?" ”

Chiharu didn't seem to know what was going on, and looked at her sister with some bewilderment.

Ji He asked in a surprised tone, "Miss Tian Ling, do you know each other?" ”

Tian Ling's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head a little weakly.

"Yes, yes."

Masashi Taniguchi, a member of the tourism development company, was invited by Tian Ling to come and talk about the Hirano Onsen Museum.

"Tourism development company?"

Obviously, Chiharu had no idea about it.

"I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to be invited, but such a thing happened. ”

Masaya Taniguchi nodded slightly, her expression a little stiff, which made Conan sense that something was wrong.

At this time, King Kong coughed lightly and asked, "Mrs. Meiji, has she been doing anything unusual recently?" ”

The crowd bowed their heads and remained silent.

Such a reaction means that there is.

"Actually, my mother said she was going to retire and who would be her heir in the near future."

"So, who is the heir?"

Chiharu smiled confidently and said, "Of course, as the eldest daughter, I, as the eldest daughter, will inherit my mother's legacy and ...... this inn."

Tian Ling suddenly interrupted her at this moment.

"Wait, who allowed you to decide on your own?"

"Isn't it natural for the eldest daughter to inherit it?"

"Really?"

The corners of Tian Ling's mouth rose slightly, and she said in a weird manner: "The boss lady has never been able to decide who to choose as the heir, isn't it all because you, the eldest daughter, are not capable enough?" ”

"I say, you're ......," Chiharu looked sideways at her.

And Tian Ling also looked at each other.

Pretended to be surprised and said: "Could it be that the boss told you that he wanted to choose me as his heir, so you killed her?" ”

There was a hint of anger on Chiharu's face.

"Are you trying to say that I killed you? Are you kidding! You are, I hate the boss lady from the bottom of my heart! ”

"That's you, sister."

"Speaking of which, why don't you have anything to do with the tourism development company?"

Chiharu turned to look at her, "Miss Taniguchi over there, too, suspicious, right?" ”

"Hey, you're rude like that!"

Sure enough, is this a woman's quarrel?

Xiaolan and Yuanzi looked a little cramped and uneasy, while Qinghai Chuantang had a good look on his face, and his hot eyes seemed to say, "Fight, fight."

The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, and it seemed that he had to remove the other person from the category of "female".

"Alright, alright, let's both say less."

Yoshikawa stood up and began to play the role of peacemaker, wanting to temporarily ease the conflict between the two.

"Uncle Jihe thinks so too, right?"

"No, I didn't ......"

Chiharu looked around at the people beside him and said, "Everyone here hates the boss lady, right?" ”

"You've seen the warehouse, right?"

Finally, Chiharu looked at Qinghai Chuantang.

"That person is just using everyone to collect money for himself, and it's not surprising who killed him."

"yes."

Tian Ling smiled, and seemed to agree with the other party's statement.
