Chapter 244: Why didn't this murder follow the routine

Conan and Hattori ran over one after the other, looked inside the door, and saw a corpse lying across the room.

A knife was stuck in the corpse's heart, nailing something to its chest.

…… Dead people?

Conan was a little surprised for a moment.

He always felt that when Shiraishi was there, passers-by were not so easy to die.

But when he thought about it, he understood that people's thoughts and emotions are complex and changeable, and no matter how powerful Shiraishi is, it is impossible to accurately guess the timing of the criminal's action forever.

The failure to save people is completely understandable.

What's more, this time is different.

In the past, Shiraishi would first collect intelligence, and then go to the scene to stop the crime.

But this time, Shiraishi was just going out to relax.

I came to participate in the Sherlock Holmes tour, but because of my sudden invitation, things became the way they are now, and it is completely in the past.

…… And now, more than why Shiraishi failed to stop the crime, it seems that more attention should be paid to who the murderer is and where Shiraishi's others are.

The other Sherlock Holmes fans in the restaurant quickly gathered as well.

This group of people is very interested in reasoning, and they usually collect relevant information in the newspaper, and they are much more courageous than ordinary people. Moreover, at first they thought it was a reasoning question and answer prepared by the boss.

Or Conan and Hattori Heiji corpses have seen more and are more experienced. They stopped the person who was going into the room to look for clues, cautiously approached and examined the body, confirming that the deceased was Tojuken, who had also come to join the Sherlock Holmes tour.

"Call the police. By the way, give us back the phone first. After examining the body, Hattori looked at the hotelier, who was at a loss.

The employee whispered, "The phone is handed over to the boss...... The boss would lock the phone in the cabinet every time, and only he had the key. ”

"Then go find Mr. Kanaya." Hattori Heiji wasn't too disappointed, he calmly walked to the table, wanting to see if the landline on the table could work.

Although, in his experience, at such times, the telephone lines are generally cut......

However, what Hattori Heiji didn't expect was that the number was dialed out.

This phone still works!

However, at the moment when the opposite side was connected, Hattori Heiji inadvertently glanced to the side, and his pupils shrank sharply.

He threw down the earpiece, walked around the table quickly, and looked at the boss of Jingu who fell to the ground, "Hey, are you okay?" ”

As he spoke, Hattori Heiji touched his pulse with his hands.

I thought that the person must be cold, but his touch was not only a routine to check life and death, but also wanted to press the hardness of the person, and by the way, combined with other circumstances, to guess the approximate time of death,

But I didn't expect that people were still angry.

…… This murder is really strange.

Maolilan had recovered by this time.

She picked up the phone that was thrown down by Hattori Heiji, and called the police clearly and quickly with words that the police wanted to like after listening to them.

Conan chased after Heiji Hattori and went around behind the desk.

He also probed the vital signs of the boss of Kanaya, and after making sure that the person was okay, Conan looked at the large open window and the small piece of wet ground in front of the window, and frowned, thinking about what had happened here.

……

The police have received a report and will immediately set off to rush here.

But the mountain road is very long, and it will be some time before they arrive.

Two detectives conducted an investigation of the scene.

Hattori Heiji borrowed a camera, and when he took pictures for evidence, he asked people to find the other guests by the way.

Although there is a string of mud shoe prints from the side door to this room, it cannot be ruled out that the footprints were forged by the murderer to confuse the public, and the guests are also suspicious.

While Hattori was taking pictures, Conan pulled the hotel staff and asked her to call up the surveillance in everyone's room, so that some innocent people could be eliminated first according to the time of Tojuken's death.

However, he was soon disappointed.

"The surveillance in the guest's room is actually fake. We are mainly in the hotel business, and if you install cameras and bugs in your room, you will be complained by guests. ”

The employee explained, "And if you put it on before the event and take it off after the event, it is too troublesome, so the boss has prepared a batch of fake cameras to deter the contestants." ”

The "......" group of people were speechless.

"But ......" the clerk gestured to a corner of the room, where an ornamental bonsai hung with a strange metallic sheen faintly among the green leaves

"This monitoring is real. It was the boss who was afraid that the "Study of the Scarlet Letters" in the safe would be stolen, so he deliberately installed it. ”

The owner of Jingu knew very well that the people who came to participate in the Sherlock Holmes tour were some avid fans. He was afraid that if someone didn't take the right path and learned to pick locks to steal books, he installed this.

When Hattori heard this, he immediately asked her to call up the surveillance.

The monitoring is in the computer of the boss of Jingu, and the computer does not have a password.

There was surveillance in the room and everything was easy to do.

Even if the prisoner kills someone in the air, or uses some unbelievable way to make the deceased look like he committed suicide, there will definitely be enough clues left in the surveillance.

However, once again, things went unexpectedly for Conan and Heiji Hattori.

- There are no sophisticated techniques, and there are no unbelievable pictures.

It's just that when the people of Toshiyan were arguing with the boss of Jingu, a sloppy man suddenly broke in outside the door, and the man raised his knife and cut down the people of Toshiyan.

The case...... It's too unremarkable, and it doesn't seem like there's anything to use your brain at all.

The only thing that is not so unusual is the identity of the murderer.

Heiji Hattori recognized it at a glance, "Jiichiro Numabuchi!" He's fled here! ”

Conan had also seen the news about this fugitive and knew that he had mental problems, and it was not surprising that he suddenly killed someone.

It's rare to take a trip to Sherlock Holmes, surrounded by people who are good at reasoning, but the murder that happened here turned out to be just an ordinary intruder......

Just thinking about it, Conan caught a glimpse of the side, and Hattori Heiji suddenly approached the screen, as if he had noticed some detail.

Conan followed and took a look, and saw that there was an extra person by the dim door in the surveillance screen.

The man looked at Numabuchi for a moment, raised his hand and threw something over, and after a few seconds, Numabuchi Jiichiro staggered and fell.

"This is the guy with you." Heiji Hattori pointed to Shiraishi who walked through the door on the screen and asked Moriran.

Mao Lilan answered, and Conan, who was next to her, also nodded in a complicated mood.

Conan saw Shiraishi's throwing action, and saw Jiichiro Numabuchi suddenly fall to the ground, and quickly realized that what Shiraishi used might be the kind of anesthetic ball that black cats often use.

…… Shiraishi actually carries this kind of thing with him.

However, it would be nice to be able to come in handy.

He continued to look at the monitor. I guessed in my heart that if I didn't see Jiichiro Numabuchi now, it must be because he was sent to the police station overnight by Shiraishi and the black cat.
