179 Advance Reminder of Lofty Heights

"What! The innkeeper is dead! ”

Standing on the edge of the cliff where the explosion occurred after the vehicle fell, because the explosion just now was so shocking, everyone who had already gone back to their rooms to rest was also awakened, and they all ran outside the hotel, and they were emitting smoke from the cliffside.

After hearing Hattori Heiji's explanation, Toshiaki Fujisawa had an incredulous expression on his face, and let out the surprised sound just now.

And in this regard, Hattori Heiji, who was putting his hands in his pants pockets and looking at the scene under the cliff, replied affirmatively:

"Hmm. The shopkeeper, dressed as Sherlock Holmes, had just fallen into the sea with his car in front of my eyes. ”

"How so? He ...... him, sir."

After hearing this bad news, the waitress Iwai Hitomi couldn't accept it, and she panicked so much that she had already cried out in a panic, and the rest of the people's faces were all not very good-looking, and she couldn't imagine that Hiroyuki Kanaya, who hadn't appeared for a long time, would die in this way at such a time-

"Ah...... It must be suicide! ”

However, at this time, Kogoro, who came out behind everyone, looked like he hadn't woken up, yawning at what was happening now, and said slowly with a little helplessness:

"You must be reluctant to let you get the first edition of Sherlock Holmes, so you choose to rush down with that book."

"No, it could have been murdered."

But in this regard, Toba Kento on the side seemed a little proud and excited, refuting Kogoro's statement.

But his attitude couldn't help but make the others present feel a little panic-

"I saw him falling, and it was quite slow. As long as you mix up or kill the shopkeeper beforehand, get him into the car, and then put the car in D gear, the car will move forward automatically. ”

Completely ignoring the atmosphere at the moment, Kento Toba slowly explained, as if to show off his intelligence, and stretched out his hand to the garage with the door open:

"And the possible location of the murderer's murder is obviously in the garage."

"It turned out to be ......"

Listening to Kento Toba's explanation, Toshiaki Fujisawa was surprised, but he had to agree and say:

"Then I saw the murderer who had the car falling, and then rushed here after pretending to hear the explosion......"

"So...... You mean, the murderer is among us? ”

In this regard, Maria Toda on the side couldn't help but ask in surprise.

And Toba Kenren proudly pushed the glasses on his face, and said proudly:

"That's right, that's how it should be. And as it stands, the suspect ......"

"But why did the car speed up on the way?"

However, just when Kento Toba was proud and didn't finish his words, Hattori Heiji stepped forward and asked.

And hearing this, Toba Kenren couldn't help but be stunned and a little overwhelmed.

"Although it was only for a moment, when we chased after it, the car did accelerate on the way."

Conan chimed in.

"Look, it's suicide!"

After getting the car to accelerate, Kogoro continued:

"Whether it's stunting or killing the store manager in advance, it's impossible to make the car accelerate on the way, so the store manager who was in the car at the time must be alive, after he saw the situation of your chasing the car, he chose to step on the accelerator and accelerate out of the cliff in order to get rid of you, you guys have seen too much reasoning, how can there be so many twists and turns in reality."

"And there's a little bit of weirdness."

At this time, Heiji Hattori continued:

"There was a strange wind-like sound coming from the car, and it wasn't the sound of an engine."

"Not the sound of the engine? Then it must be a cold voice! It must have been that the air conditioner was not turned off when the engine was turned off before, but as soon as the engine was started, the air conditioner blew on its own. ”

In this regard, Ikuo Kawazu guessed so, and Maria Toda also agreed with this statement, explaining:

"It's true that it's been quite hot these days, and when we came here, the air conditioning in the car was always on."

Hearing this, Fujisawa Toshiaki was a little helpless, took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and complained as if relieved:

"What the hell! Suicide is also disguised as homicide, true love causes a commotion! He also dressed up as Sherlock Holmes......"

"Hey, that's a shame......"

In this regard, even Nanako Shimizu, who said little, said helplessly:

"The clothes of Sherlock Holmes, so well made...... Just burned the ......"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, several people present were a little frightened by Nanako Shimizu's astonishing words.

"In short, looking at the current situation, the body cannot be recovered. Let's hurry up and call the police, and then go inside and wait for the police to arrive. ”

Helplessly, Kogoro suggested.

So, everyone who thought this suggestion was very reasonable prepared to go back to the hotel and call the police first.

And Xiaolan, who was walking at the end, suddenly noticed that Conan and Hattori Heiji did not return with everyone, but squatted on the dirt road, leaning down in front of the rut marks left by the car just now, looking for something seriously-

"What are you doing, Conan? What are you doing looking at tire tracks? ”

Feeling strange, Xiaolan came to Conan's side and asked curiously.

And Conan simply replied, "Well, find something." "Later,Because of the very serious search,,I bumped into Hattori Heiji, who was also looking for traces on the ground with him-

"It hurts!"

"Ahh It hurts! ”

The heads of the two collided like this, and they covered their heads and shouted.

Seeing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but ask strangely:

"What's the matter, Hattori, even you ......"

"I don't know! I'm just looking to see if the air conditioner is actually on! And then he hit it again, and he ......."

Slightly depressed, Hattori Heiji complained like this, but immediately, Hattori Heiji suddenly noticed that something was not right-

"Again?"

Thinking with some surprise, Hattori Heiji suddenly remembered the last time-

"Before, during the last incident, this guy also bumped into me who was looking for evidence......"

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji also remembered what Takato said to himself before coming here-

"If you're lucky, you'll be able to meet Kudo here? Speaking of which, it was the last incident, when Kudo appeared, this guy disappeared; And after Kudo left, this guy appeared again......"

Thinking like this, Hattori Heiji was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then shook his head vigorously-

"No, I'm thinking about something! At a time like this, we should still focus on eucalyptus! The innkeeper died, and the detective seemed to have told me to keep an eye on the organizer of the event before I came here...... Damn it! What did the detective tell me at the time, but now that I think about it, it seems to have something to do with the innkeeper's retaliation or something, but I seem to have just taken that statement as a joke......"

And at this moment, just when Hattori was thinking about it, because the light outside was not enough to see the specific situation of the rut marks clearly, Conan, who complained about it, attracted the attention of Ayako Oki.

I saw Oki Ayako take out a lighter for the two of them to use to illuminate, and at the same time, the people who had returned to the house also came with bad news-

The mobile phones of the people who were taken away by the innkeeper were all smashed!

Hearing this, Conan and Hattori Heiji, who had already finished investigating the rut marks, suddenly realized-

Sure enough, this is definitely not a simple suicide!
