"What?! Did that guy from Joto go to Atami? Damn, that kid is really going to enjoy it, it must be for the mixed bathing hot springs......"

"Dad, you've drunk too much! Really, dragging on outside so late again. ”

On the streets of Tokyo, Xiaolan and Conan complained together about taking their uncle home, and the drunken uncle staggered and kept yelling.

"Xiaolan, haven't we been to the hot springs for a long time, or should we go to Atami......"

"Don't have a bad idea, I'm going to let you have a meal with your mother!"

"I don't want to see that stinky woman...... uncle said dizzily, "Xiaolan, don't you still want me to get back together with her?" ”

"That's what I'm going to do! It's a child, everyone wants their parents to live in harmony! Anyway you have to go for a weekend date......"

"It's really long-winded."

Conan walked beside him as usual, looking at the babbling uncle, and his mind also flew to Atami.

Joto must have helped a child find his mother, but I don't know what the situation is now......

……

At the Atami Onsen Hotel, it was past midnight but the lights were still bright, with several police cars parked at the door and a few police officers guarding outside.

"I see, Detective Joto is here to do something......"

"In other words, the hostess picked up the camera lens cover of the victim, Mr. Duckshita, in the corridor, and when she delivered it here, she found Mr. Duckshita dead by the bathtub......"

Officer Coral Head Gully pondered to examine the body.

"It's like someone strangled their necks with something like that...... Still, was the body put in the bathtub to cover up the time of death? That's the problem......"

"Actually, I already know when I was killed." Gao Cheng interrupted.

"Huh?"

"Mr. Kamoshita happened to take a picture of the murderer, and the time when the photo was taken was 11:48 is the time of the crime."

Gao Cheng put the photo on his phone in front of Henggou.

"The prisoners don't seem to notice this......"

"It's true," Yokozo took his phone in surprise, "strangled the duck from behind and starved the neck of the woman with a black mole on her chest...... That said, as long as you find a woman who didn't have an alibi at 11:48 and has a black mole on her chest! ”

"Henggou Police Department!" A police officer came to him, "According to the staff of the hotel, Mr. Duck went to several hostesses at night and said something strange, as if to say, 'If you remember the 20 million yuan, come to my room, otherwise don't blame me for opening the matter.......'"

"Two million dollars? So, is the prisoner the hostess who was caught by the duck? Henggou touched his chin, "Okay, check it out immediately, the hostess who didn't have an alibi at 11:48 is likely to be the murderer!" ”

"Yes!"

"Prisoner, prisoner......" Kazuki Tsukawa looked closely at the horizontal ditch that was ordered, and the whole person was in a trance, "The prisoner is my ......"

"Huh?" Yokogou looked at Kazuki unexpectedly, "You don't often appear on TV...... You're that child star Kazuki Kinkawa, right? ”

"Prisoner ......"

The little kid didn't seem to hear Henggou's questioning at all, gritted his teeth, turned around and hurried out of the scene.

"What's wrong with him?" Henggou was stunned.

"It's okay," Gao Cheng quietly watched the little kid run away, and then walked out of the bathroom, "Officer Henggou, I'll come over when I find the hostess......"

At the door of the hotel, after Gao Cheng and the police officer on duty greeted him, he looked at the little kid at the door who was cowering in the corner of the steps.

After a pause, Gao Cheng stepped forward and said, "Don't you dislike that woman?" Why are you so worried......

"I'm not worried about that woman!"

"Don't worry, haven't you been sure that the murderer is your mother yet?"

Gao Cheng sat down next to him.

"Anything is possible until you finally see the truth...... Let's go back and rest first, and I'll solve this case. ”

The little kid raised his head and looked at Gao Cheng, and silently turned around and walked into the hotel.

"There is a mother's voice......"

"What?"

After walking to the corner, the little kid suddenly ran towards the kitchen where the sound of chopping vegetables came from, only to see an uncle chef busy inside.

"I'm sorry," the chef said embarrassedly, turning back in a daze, "because suddenly a guest wants to have a supper...... Got you guys, didn't you? ”

"After ordering this, there are still people who want to eat supper?" Gao Cheng touched his stomach, "Then prepare a ...... for us by the way."

"Huh?" Uncle Chef almost didn't react, "Okay, okay." ”

The sound of chopping vegetables continued to sound in the kitchen, and Gao Cheng turned to the lost little boy: "That's what you said about your mother's voice?" ”

"Because when I was a kid and I fell asleep watching a black mole, I still heard the sound of a kitchen knife cutting vegetables...... Don't get me wrong, I just thought it might be a clue to the woman. ”

"Okay, I got it."

……

Room 205, murder scene.

When Gao Cheng was called back by a police officer, the three hostesses he had seen in the bathhouse had already arrived at the scene.

"Detective Joto, they are the hostesses who didn't have an alibi at 11:48, and they arrived at the open-air bath around 11:50......"

"Only the three of them don't have an alibi?" Gao Cheng was stunned, he barely looked at the position under the collarbone of the three people, and none of them matched the murderer in the photo.

"So," Yokogou coughed lightly and said to the three hostesses with his phone, "can I check your body?" I want to make sure you don't have a black mole on your chest like the female criminals you took a moment before Duck was killed......"

"What?" The long-haired hostess Mieda Asaka looked at the photo on her mobile phone and reacted strongly, "Do you want us to strip naked here?" ”

"Oh, no...... There will be a policewoman who will take you to other rooms......"

"That's fine, but hurry up, we have other work to do!"

"Good ......"

"There's no need for that," Bessho Noboru blushed and opened her collar, "Look, I don't have any moles......"

"Elsewhere?" Mitsu Kusano, the round-chin hostess, looked at Bessho Noboriko in surprise.

"Forget it," Mieda Asaka indifferently pulled open her neckline to reveal the whiteness of her chest, "It's nothing anyway, Kusano, don't be sluggish, you'll be suspicious." ”

"W-Oh well."

Kusano Mutsu also blushed and exposed his chest, and a black mole under the right collarbone appeared in front of everyone.

"Ahh Henggou glared and said, "Don't you have a mole on your chest?!" ”

"You can see clearly, officer," Kusano complained, "my mole is on the right, the opposite of the picture!" ”

"This ...... That's ...... too."

"I said officer," Asaka Mieda interrupted, "and if it's okay, we'll go back to work!" ”

"Wait, wait!" Henggou said anxiously, "I'll have to make a note later, please go to another room and wait for a while......"

Waiting for the 3 hostesses to snort and leave, Henggou's entire face became a bitter gourd face.

"There was no prisoner to be found...... Was this photo really taken under the duck? Because of the backlight, the picture is not too clear, and the prisoner's face has not been photographed......" Henggou said uncertainly, "Could it be that the prisoner deliberately took a shot in real time in order to create an alibi?" ”

"It's very unlikely," Gao Cheng held his elbow and looked at the bathroom, "The murderer wrapped a thin thread around the duck's neck, obviously using both hands to strangle it, so that only the duck himself could be photographed, and the murderer's chest was also photographed, if it was designed by the murderer, she should be dressed so that people can't distinguish between men and women......

"This phone has also been muted, so it won't make a sound when taking pictures...... Before being attacked, there should have been plans to take pictures under the duck. ”

"Candid photography?" Henggou carefully checked his mobile phone, "He also called someone 10 minutes before taking the photo!" ”

Tokyo, Tokyo Press, in the busy editorial office, the phone rang repeatedly, and an uncle who was on the top picked up the microphone: "What? Duck was killed?! ”

"I'm the editor-in-chief of Hot Weekly, Changquangu...... Yaxia often sent us some special materials, today he called me twice, the second call was just after 11:30, said that the heroine of the special material was taking a bath in the bathroom in his room, and would take pictures of her appearance with her mobile phone......"

"Really?" Henggou Ma said with a serious face, "The heroine of that special material is ......"

"It's the woman who abandoned Kazuki Kazukawa at the door of the church, Wenzi, and that woman seems to have threatened Kazuki Kazukawa's office, saying that if you don't come up with 20 million, you will announce that Kazuki's father is a murderer on the run...... Duck Xia didn't know how to catch the clue, saying that he was going to step on the place where the woman was......"

Henggou involuntarily looked at Kazuki Juanchuan who was standing at the door, hung up the phone and looked at Gao Cheng: "He said that this is the case, and Yaxia may not be sure who it is at first, so he tested the waitress here......"

"I see."

Gao Cheng also heard the words of the other side when he came to the phone just now, and he frowned and definitely turned to the little kid: "But one thing I am sure of, Wen Zi is definitely not a murderer, I will find out the real culprit." ”

"Wenzi is not a murderer?" Henggou was stunned and said, "But isn't it Wenzi who threatens under the duck?" ”

"Maybe," Gao Cheng checked the body under the duck again, "still can't find the murder weapon?" ”

"yes, it looks like we'll have to search the hotel all over again......"
