Chapter 33: Situ Xiu's solo show
The world's first festival!
A few people talked and laughed, Situ Xiu teased Conan from time to time, and Uncle Maori looked around behind him.
"Sorry, excuse me, could you please take a picture for me" At this time, a man walked over with a camera in his hand.
Everyone looked over curiously, it was a middle-aged man, Xiaolan smiled kindly: "Of course."
"Thank you, please use this camera to help me take pictures" The middle-aged man smiled and handed the camera in his hand to Xiaolan, then pointed to the one on the mountain and said: "Take that one as the background."
"Good"
After the middle-aged man posed, Xiaolan took the camera and pressed the shutter, and after taking a picture, he said: "A rabbit appeared in the camera just now, do you want to shoot it."
"It's okay, thank you" The middle-aged man smiled and took the camera, and then said, "I'm collecting customs and celebrations everywhere right now, and this is for information."
"Sir, are you a writer?" asked Xiaolan curiously.
"Yes, because I have been running around all year round, collecting information from all over the world," the middle-aged man smiled.
In the next chat, the middle-aged man is really a writer as Xiaolan said, and he has also published a well-known work.
Situ Xiu glanced at Conan and said with a smile: "Your balloon has stolen the show, maybe it will be recorded in the writer, and it may be published in the future."
"Huh..... How is that possible," Conan chuckled dryly.
"This person is really strange" Situ Xiu looked at the middle-aged man, sweating on his forehead, wearing a coat, obviously very hot, normal people would take off their coats.
"It's really a bit weird, you don't take off your coat when it's so hot" Conan nodded, the middle-aged man's behavior was incomprehensible.
At the request of the middle-aged man, Xiaolan helped him take a few more photos, and at this time, a man's head appeared in the camera.
"Huh" Xiaolan looked at the man who suddenly appeared suspiciously, and the middle-aged man noticed that there was someone behind him, and turned his head to look.
"You're Mr. Seii Shinichi?" The man grimaced.
"Huh?" Shijing Xuanyi.
The man took out a document from his body and said, "I'm Saitama Prefecture Police Officer Yokozo, and we need your cooperation in the investigation of Mr. Imatake's case."
"Imatake? What happened to him? Shijing Xuanichi's face was full of consternation.
Officer Henggou said, "He has been killed, and he is in the hotel where you two are staying. ”
Someone was killed!
Everyone was stunned, and the eyes of the two detectives, Uncle Maori and Conan, immediately became solemn.
As for Situ Xiu, he glanced at Conan, and sure enough, when he came out to meet you, there would be no good thing, and this would not be dead again.
As if sensing Situ Xiu's gaze, Conan turned his head to look, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "What do you mean, look at what I'm doing, I have nothing to do with this."
"Hey, that person is so pitiful" Situ Xiu shook his head with a look of pity.
"......." Conan suddenly had a black line in his head, the person is dead, what does it matter to me.
......
Barrel Hill Inn.
Maori Kogoro, Xiaolan, Conan, Koizumi Hongzi, and Situ Xiu and their entourage came here.
Because they had contact with Sei Shinichi, they are now regarded as the object of suspicion and have come here to cooperate with the investigation, so some routine inquiries are required.
The room where the murder occurred, in room 204, was guarded by several policemen, a cordon had been set up around it, and there were some onlookers.
"The deceased died from a gunshot, the murder weapon was a pistol, and the time of the crime was 8:02 or 3 p.m. The suspect, who should have been a young man, ran out of this room after committing the murder," Officer Henggou first introduced the basic facts of the case.
Then he looked at a witness and asked, "Is that so?"
"Yes.. At that time...", an eyewitness replied.
When Officer Yokomizo asked, Mori Kogoro and Conan walked into the room and approached the body at the same time, observing.
As for Situ Xiu, he was not good at this, so he could only watch silently and learn their detective skills.
From Officer Yokogou's words, he clearly understood that Tomoshi Imatake and Nonichi Sei were in the same room.
Now that Imatake is dead, if Seii doesn't have a clear alibi, then he is the most suspicious.
"The bullet went through the head beautifully......" is the voice of Uncle Maori.
Officer Henggou turned his head to see that there were two more people next to the corpse, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, hey, hey!" Who are you? This is the scene of the crime, and you can't just come in."
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm a detective......" Kogoro Mori stood up and was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
"If I'm not mistaken, you... You.. You are the Detective Mori Kogoro," Officer Yokomizo looked at Mori Kogoro excitedly.
"Yes. That's right, it's me" Kogoro Mori was frightened by Yokomizo's reaction.
Situ Xiu looked at Uncle Maori in surprise, this reputation has spread so far that even the police officers in Saitama Prefecture know that detectives are really a magical profession.
Conan rolled his eyes on the side, those cases weren't all up to me.
Next, Officer Yokozo asked Kogoro Mori to investigate the case, and Conan was secretly looking for clues to solve the case.
From the room at the scene of the murder, Situ Xiu saw that the room was very messy, a bit like a burglary.
At the same time, when Maori Kogoro suspected that it was a burglary, Officer Yokozo wondered: "Maori detective, is it possible that the murderer deliberately arranged the robbery, but in fact, it was committed by people in the same room."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Sei Xuanyi, this person was the most suspicious.
"Don't joke officer, the murder happened around 8 o'clock, and at that time I had already gone to the scene of the first festival in the world early, and I took a lot of photos, if you don't believe me, you can look at the photos in my camera" Shijing Xuanichi looked innocent, took out the camera and handed it out.
Officer Yokogou immediately ordered, "Go and develop all the negatives in the camera."
"Yes," an evaluator next to him replied, saluted and immediately took his camera to rinse it.
Shinichi Sei's alibi is a camera!
Situ Xiu secretly wondered what evidence was in that photo
After Conan explored the room, he looked at Sei Shinichi with suspicion, this person was really suspicious.
But why is it so calm.
Is it because of the photos in the camera?
....
After a while, the photos were washed out, and there were 7 in total, and from a few photos, it can be seen that behind Sei Shinichi there are fonts that appear on the Heaven, Down, and One Festival.
Officer Henggou looked at it carefully and didn't notice anything unusual.
Maori Kogoro frowned: "From the point of view of time, Sei Shinichi is not the murderer, because the characters in these photos need to be taken before 8:25, and from 8 o'clock here to the venue of the world's first festival, 25 minutes is not enough at all."
"That's definitely not going to happen," Shijing said with a smug smile on his face.
"Damn, how did he do it" Conan gritted his teeth.
Situ Xiu looked at the photo for a while and said, "Officer Henggou, I found something suspicious."
"Huh? Whose child is this, how did you come in" Officer Henggou is very troubled now, and seeing Situ Xiu is even more annoyed, what does a child understand.
Koizumi Hongzi stood up and said, "Officer, just let him talk about it, maybe he really found some evidence."
Officer Henggou saw that it was a beautiful woman talking, turned his head to look at Situ Xiu, and said, "Then what did you find?"
Situ Xiu didn't care either, and said, "Don't you doubt that these photos were taken before, and they are only being used now."
He always felt that there was something wrong with Shijing Xuanichi wearing his coat, and he didn't take it off even when he was so hot, until he looked at the photo and understood.
Before!
Conan looked at the photo again, recalling the chance encounter with Sei Shinichi, and understood it in an instant.
Looking at Situ Xiu in a little shock, this guy's observation power was so keen.
"Little ghost, how do you prove it's last year," Mori Kogoro wondered.
"That's right," Officer Henggou nodded in agreement.
Situ Xiu smiled: "Uncle Maori, don't you think it's strange that Mr. Sei Xuanyi doesn't take off his coat even though it's very hot?" ”
Shijing Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Situ Xiu in horror, panicking in his heart.
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro thought for a moment and reached out to support his chin: "I remember, it's my wrist, his wrist is very white, it's different from other photos."
"Haha" Shijing Xuanyi smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect a little ghost to notice the matter of my wrist, it's really not simple."
Conclusive!
Next, Officer Yokogou took away Sei Xuani, and this homicide case due to the struggle for fame and fortune ended.
On the way, Maori Kogoro looked at Situ Xiu and said, "This little guy is really powerful, he has noticed so many small details."
"Of course, our family's Xiaoxiu is smart" Koizumi Hongzi looked proud, as if she was praising her.
"Heh..."Situ Xiu laughed dryly, tonight's solo show was a bit sudden, it was originally to learn detective skills, and when he saw something different, he instantly figured out the case in his mind.
Heat, coats, hidden wrists, previous photos and current photos are not right, the photos are not necessarily taken at the time, they may have been taken a year ago, after all, the first festival in the world is celebrated every year.
"Damn, stealing my limelight again," Conan muttered quietly.
"Conan, what are you talking about" Xiaolan turned her head to look at Conan.
"It's nothing, Sister Lan," Conan smiled.
It was already late, and several people lived in different places, so Koizumi Hongzi and Situ Xiu said goodbye to Uncle Maori and them.
"Hinata Hinata enters the chat group".
