At the scene in the snowfield, the uncle started his own performance, Gao Cheng ignored it, and just silently took out his mobile phone to take a few photos of the scene.

It's easy to see that the footprints are walking backwards, because there is a difference between the footprints left behind when walking forward in the snow and walking backwards.

However, the method is different from what the uncle said, the murderer did not go back and forth, but went backwards once.

The murderer and the glacier walked to the scene of the incident before the snow fell, and waited until the footprints were covered up before leaving the body of the glacier and leaving alone.

In order to make people think that the glacier was killed after the snow, the snow on the glacier was cleared.

The person who committed this case must first know the time of the snowwalking procession, because this method requires the presence of witnesses in time, and at the same time, it must be an acquaintance of the glacier, otherwise there is no way to let the glacier come to such a place along the lake, and the other party seems to know that the glacier has a heart attack.

Gao Cheng took a photo of the soles of his glaciers.

It's strange here, why did the glacier follow the prisoners here, and hide its tracks along the lakeside.

"So that's it," Conan next to him reasoned to the crowd, "the prisoner just walked back to the lake slowly, leaving only a shoe print...... The snow on the glacier was photographed away in order to make people mistakenly believe that the glacier came here after the snow stopped. ”

"Wow."

Everyone was amazed by Conan's reasoning, only the uncle's face was darker, but he didn't say anything.

It's better to be robbed of the limelight by this little ghost than to be compared to the city......

"Miss Mizuki," Gao Cheng asked, looking back, "where is the direction of this footprint?" ”

"It's Muto's lodge," Mizuki Tono looked at the mountain forest, "Glacier may be looking for Muto, but ...... There should be a road to drive through, I really don't understand, how could he go this way? ”

Kitanosawa Village is close to the prefectural road, and after calling the police, the prefectural police quickly arrived at the scene of the incident, and Hikawa Shogo's body was also taken away and prepared for an autopsy investigation.

It was already evening when he returned to the village, and Gao Cheng took Takagi to meet with the county police and explained the situation by the way.

"Miss Fuyumi has been taking care of Dongma at home in the afternoon, Mr. Muto is in the studio on the other side of the reservoir, Miss Mizuki has been leading the team to walk in the snow, Yamao goes for a walk in the forest alone, and only Miss Fuyumi and Miss Mizuki have alibi."

The county police officer who led the team was a slow-talking uncle criminal policeman, and there was a partner criminal policeman next to him, who would look at Gao Cheng very suspiciously.

I heard that the person from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was too young, and I felt that he was about the same age as his son, who was in high school......

"Did you find the stun rod for the glacier?" Gao Cheng asked.

"Not yet, there is no way to forcibly check the possession at this stage, and it is very likely that it has been hidden," the uncle detective looked at the water tree in the villa restaurant and explained to Gao Cheng, "After confirming that Mr. Glacier was killed, I will ask for further questioning, and I will trouble you here for the time being." ”

"You're welcome."

Gao Chengmu sent the police away.

He probably knew the purpose of the prisoner's arrangement of the accidental death of the glacier, and the autopsy investigation would sooner or later find out that he had killed him, but this would have bought him a few days.

If the prisoner has any next move, it must be in these two days.

In other words, the prisoner must have a next step.

"Chenghu," asked Gao Cheng, avoiding the crowd, "how is the reservoir over there?" Does it have anything to do with this case? ”

"I don't know yet," Gao Cheng shook his head, "but tomorrow is the festival...... From now on, keep an eye on the point Muto and the reservoir. ”

"What about you?"

"I have more important things to do."

On the prefectural road outside Kitanozawa Village, several police cars drove by, and in the one of the cars led by the partner, the partner criminal police couldn't help but ask, "Watanabe, do you know that young man?" ”

"Yes, the youngest special adviser of the Metropolitan Police Department, and also a famous death detective in Tokyo, Takasei Shiroto," the uncle detective nodded, "The mustache with him is another plague god with the same name as him, Mori Kogoro, it's hard to know him." ”

"Is that an exaggeration?"

"Anyway, let's wait for the results of the autopsy first, if there is no accident, he should be killed."

The uncle detective looked at Kitanosawa Village, which was gradually moving away, paused, and smiled softly.

"However, for the police, they are not so much plague gods as angels, and so far there is no case that they can't solve."

"Sounds contradictory."

……

At the mountain hotel, Hikawa Shanggo's room has been cordoned off by the police, and Gao Cheng put on gloves and entered the room.

The stun baton has been confirmed to be not in the room, but what Gao Cheng is looking for is not the stun baton, but other items.

He was still concerned about the glacier's suspicious movements.

Skirting the lakeshore to the snowfield to Muto's lodge was apparently intended to hide his tracks, but if it was a prisoner, it would be better to say, why did the glacier do the same?

It can only be said that Shogo Glacier actually has a problem, and the purpose of going to the lodge is not pure.

There was only one coat in the closet, and Gao Cheng took out Glacier's notebook from his pocket and the newspaper clippings that were included in the notebook.

It was the report about the hit-and-run at Yamao.

He had done this kind of thing as collecting newspaper clippings, and Glacier's inconspicuous demeanor caught his attention.

When meeting in the hotel lobby, Glacier opens the newspaper clippings to show everyone outside, but generally speaking, in order to avoid staining the content of the report, it should be folded inside.

Unless the content of the other side is also important.

"At around 11 p.m. on the 15th, the Misuzu jewelry store in Yaoi Town, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo was broken into by an unknown person, and the 51-year-old president of Misuzu Eiko, who was working overtime, was killed with a sharp knife, and the gangsters stole jewelry with a market value of about 1 billion yen and escaped......"

"Wait."

Gao Cheng turned to the other side of the news about the hit-and-run at Yamao.

According to the information about Yamao, Yamao lived in Yaoi Town 8 years ago, was unemployed, and the accident occurred in Kitanosawa Village on the morning of the 16th of the next day.

I see, no wonder I always think that Yamao and Glacier are weird.

The reason why Glacier collected this newspaper clipping is probably because he found a connection between the two reports, and knew that Yamao had escaped to his hometown and had a car accident, and the real purpose of returning to the village with Yamao this time was ......

Fragments of memory flashed through Gao Cheng's mind.

Governor of Asakura, Toto Line Explosion, Kitanosawa Village, Reservoir, 1 Billion Yen Jewelry Robbery, Hit-and-Run......

The voice of the glacier echoed in Gao Cheng's ears: "Because this guy at the end of the mountain insists on knowing where he is sinking in the reservoir and lake in his hometown." ”

"This is a topographic map of Lake Kitanosawa, and a map of the old Kitanosawa village at the same scale......"

Gao Cheng's thoughts gradually converged, and when he returned to his eyes, he thought of Tachihara Fuyuma, who had been in a coma for 8 years.

He seemed to have gotten the general idea.

This case is not that anyone hates Governor Asakura at all, everything is a plan of the criminal.

Eight years ago, the hours between Yamao's hit-and-run and his surrender were probably to hide the jewels he had stolen from his car, and the location of the treasure was Yamao's hometown, which is currently flooded by the reservoir.

Because before the sentence was relocated to the village, there was no such thing as a reservoir at the end of the mountain.

The reason for the explosion of the Toto Line was to prevent Governor Asakura from attending the commemorative ceremony of Kitanosawa Village, and on the other hand, to hide his true purpose of blowing up the reservoir.

Yamao came back to blow up the dam so that he could find the jewels hidden in his hometown.

It is very likely that the glacier knew about Yamao and wanted to divide the jewels, but was killed by Yamao Design.

Probably this should be the case, the deviation is not too big, and the details need to be further investigated.

Gao Cheng paused, put away the newspaper clippings and the notebook of the glacier, turned around and walked out of the room.
