Chapter 278: Pingji's Journey to Find His First Love 7

In the book pick-up, in a tea house in Miyagawa Town, Mori Kogoro is happily playing with Miss Chizuru in the tea room on the second floor.

And Ms. Yamakura, who belongs to her bedroom upstairs, found that it was 9 o'clock. I started walking downstairs and woke up Mr. Sakura Masazo, who was sleeping soundly in the tea room on the first floor.

As she slowly walked to the guest room on the first floor, she knocked cautiously on the door.

"Mr. Sakura. Mr. Sakura. Are you there..."

But there was no response. Ms. Yamakura wondered if something was wrong, and she quickly opened the wooden sliding door. See if he's in danger.

As a result, Sakura Masazo's sleeping guest room was not found to be there. Looking at the bed he had laid, it seemed that he had been gone for a long time.

Ms. Yamakura wondered if the other party would go to the toilet.

So he went to the toilet and found nothing. However, at the door of the toilet, there was no reply from him.

Ms. Yamakura had no choice but to look for Mr. Sakura's traces in the storeroom.

As a result, when she opened the sliding door of the storeroom. Discover the scene that scares her.

That's the overturned shelves, lying Mr. Sakura Masazo, who has been dead for a long time!

Ms. Yamakura, who was stunned, sat on the ground sourly. Then, holding on to the doorknob, she shouted in a panic, "Ah! Come on! ”

Mori Kogoro, who was playing in the guest room on the second floor, hurriedly ran downstairs after hearing the shouts of the proprietor Nianniang.

When they run to the place where Ms. Yamakura shouted, they find Mr. Sakura Masazo, who has been dead for a long time!

Mori Kogoro looked at the cut on his neck and kept bleeding, and asked in surprise, "How can this be!" How could Mr. Sakura..."

Hattori Heiji hurriedly prompted: "Let's call the police quickly!" ”

Maori Kogoro, who was awakened, hurriedly said, Xiaolan hurriedly called the police, Heiji and Ye, don't let all the suspects stand!

Heiji Hattori and Sonoko agreed.

Harutaro Mizuo looked at Sakura Masazo, who was staring at him, and thought in a panic, "I also have a book of righteousness in my hand, so I won't be poisoned by this." But who will be his killer! ”

While Mr. Mizuo was worried and thinking, Mori Kogoro and the others also began to go to the storeroom to observe the specific situation of the deceased.

First of all, the cause of the other party's death was obviously that the carotid artery was cut off by a sharp blade. This recent serial homicide case is very similar.

However, from what we rummaged through his wallet. The murderer will never kill because of money. Otherwise, he would have had a lot less money.

Conan believes that if you look at it according to this logic, then the murderer will definitely take the Yijing on him. Otherwise, if you look at the suit on his body, there are obvious traces of rummaging.

Mori Kogoro is right to think about it. So I started looking for clues from him.

While searching, Mr. Saijo Oga asked uncertainly, "Are you a high school student detective Heiji Hattori!" ”

Hattori, who was observing the deceased from the sidelines, nodded. Say yes what's the matter, am I so famous?

Then Kogoro Maori said to them, "None of you can leave here until the police arrive." Otherwise, it will be dealt with as a murderer!

Ms. Yamakura, who finally relieved herself, hurriedly arranged a temporary room for Mr. Saijo Taiga and them, and waited for the arrival of the police.

Then Ms. Yamakura and the others also returned to their rooms and waited for the arrival of the police.

While waiting, Kogoro Mori observed the surroundings of the storeroom. It was found that the surrounding area of the warehouse was obviously rummaged through again, could it be the Book of Righteousness!

Next, the deceased Mr. Sakura Masazo's suit buttons were obviously pulled, so did he really carry the Yoshitsune. What the hell is the use of them looking for this?

When Conan inadvertently took out a bunch of keys from the deceased, Mori Kogoro threw him out of the storeroom again.

Although Conan was very dissatisfied, he knew that he was indeed a little unsuitable. I had to reluctantly walk to the door.

When he walked to the door, he found that Officer Ayakoji seemed to be prepared, and he arrived at the tea house in less than 10 minutes.

Of course, Officer Ayakoji was at the door, after taking off his shoes. Entered the storeroom where the incident occurred.

As he entered the storeroom, Conan teasingly asked, "Why didn't I see a squirrel today?" ”

Officer Ayakoji knew that Conan was playing with himself, so he angrily said that I need to report to you if I bring a squirrel or not! Besides, I don't often bring squirrels with me.

Then, he slowly walked towards the storeroom.

After Heiji looked at the back of Officer Ayakoji slowly leaving, Hattori Heiji asked, "Do you think this case was done by an outsider!" ”

Conan shook his head and replied, "I don't think it's possible that someone outside did it." If it was done by outsiders, then when the murderer came in, we should react. If it is normal under normal circumstances, when the murderer comes in from outside, the proprietress should have a special reaction, and it is impossible for us not to know that there will be a living person entering this store. ”

Heiji then asked, "So, what do you want to say?" ”

Conan said that in other words, the murderer should have known in advance that the deceased Mr. Sakura should have been related to the murderer, otherwise he should have died in the guest room.

Heiji replied: "According to your logic, then the murderers can only be Mr. Saijo, Mr. Mizuo, and the monk Ryuen." ”

Conan nodded, because they had both been to the toilet after Mr. Sakura and Ran went out. Also, next to the toilet is the warehouse.

Heiji continued his words and said, "So, they may have killed Mr. Sakura under the pretext of going to the toilet." So, he's..."

Conan came up with his own reasoning. Answer: "Maybe the murderer and Mr. Sakura had some kind of deal, and then it was stipulated that between 8 and 9 o'clock, they made some ulterior deals." As a result, because they collapsed, they committed murders. ”

Then Conan and the others went downstairs.

When Conan walked downstairs, something suddenly came to mind. asked, "Why did you say that when Mr. Mizuo went to the toilet, Miss Chizuru Suzu followed?" ”

Heiji thinks that maybe the dancers will do the same. Maybe it's a couple between Mr. Mizuo and Miss Chizuru. However, Mr. Saijo and Mr. Tatsuenen did not accompany him.

Heiji suddenly thought of something and said to Conan, "If this statement is followed, then Miss Chizuru and Mr. Mizuo are not suspected of murder." ”

Conan nodded, then shook his head again. Answer: "Because Miss Chizuru and her uncle are playing cards, naturally I won't accompany them to the toilet." Moreover, the reasons you are saying may be justified. However, if Miss Chizuru is an accomplice, then it is a different matter. ”

Pingji replied with an embarrassed smile: "No, how can such a beautiful young lady be a murderer." ”

Conan replied, "You don't know your heart." ”

Heiji shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "If anyone is with Conan, how tired it must be." ”

Then Heiji suddenly remembered something and said to him, "Let's go." ”

Conan asked incomprehensibly, "Where are you going?" Big night. Didn't Officer Ayakoji not go. ”

Pingji asked speechlessly: "You don't want to pretend!" Do you think there is a stake between us and the dead! ”

Conan shook his head and said no.

"No, no, that's right. In that case, what did you find out of Mr. Sakura's pocket? ”

Conan smiled and replied, "I didn't expect that, you know a lot." Is this what you're talking about? ”

Then, Conan took out a bunch of keys from his body and said that I found them while Uncle Kogoro was not looking. Let's go to his shop. His shop seems to be at No. 22 Teramachi Road.

As soon as they said go, they left the tea house directly, got on their motorcycles, and went to the shop opened by Mr. Sakura.

They soon arrived at Mr. Sakura's shop.

First, they went to his study and looked at his collection of books to see if they had found anything. As a result, in a bookshelf, a book of righteousness was found.

Conan carefully pulled out the book of the Book of Righteousness from the bookshelf. And from inside his book, a piece of paper with the same mysterious code was found.

Conan hurriedly shouted, "Pingji, come and take a look, I have found something here." ”

After hurriedly closing the glass door of the bookshelf, he walked over and said what was wrong.

When he saw Heiji coming, Conan pointed to a corner of the cover of the Book of Yoshitsura and said, "Ise Saburo! ”

Heiji was surprised and said, "Mr. Sakura Masazo is Ise Saburo!" Then the rest of the people are all connected to numbers. ”

Conan said he didn't know. Then he gave Heiji the note, followed by the mysterious code that Mori Kogoro needed to decipher. Indicate what you find in common.

After Heiji took the note, he said in surprise: "Isn't this the facsimile of the code you gave me yesterday." How did it end up here! ”

Conan thinks that in this way, Long Yuan is indeed very suspicious. Because it was the monk Ryuen who came to ask Maori Kogoro to crack this code. So...

Hattori Heiji shook his head, thinking that maybe the murderer couldn't solve the mystery, so he used the hand of Long Yuan. Let Maori Kogoro crack the code, and by the way, snatch the Buddha statue.

Conan nodded, thinking that it did make perfect sense. There is one more thing, and that is that this cipher paper with a special pattern is drawn, and among the remaining members of their Genji Hotaru, there is also a copy.

Heiji nodded as he listened to Conan's reasoning, and asked Conan who was sitting in the computer chair, "So, what should we do next?" ”

Conan replied, "Let's answer the tea house in the guest room first, and see what Uncle Maori has to say." Maybe he'll surprise us. ”

Eventually, they left Mr. Sakura's house with Sakura's Yoshitsutra in hand.

In Ms. Yamakura's tea house room, Heiji Hattori introduced what he had seen and heard that evening to Kogoro Mori.

Mori Kogoro, who was sitting in the guest room, said in an incredible tone, "What, Sakura-sakura is Ise Saburo!" To put it this way..."

So who exactly is the murderer. Will anyone be killed because of this book in the future?
