Chapter 228: Believe in Science

In the restaurant, it wasn't until after eating that Xiaolan and the others found that Yuki Shirakawa didn't know when he was gone.

"Where's Harina? Why is Harina gone? ”

Looking at the disappeared Yuki Shirakawa, Xiaolan was a little puzzled.

Zero on the side explained: "Sister, she was a little worried about Xiao Ai and Sister Nao, so she went back to the room to see them after eating just now." ”

Xiaolan nodded suddenly, "I see." ”

After eating, it was not early, because there was no sleepiness yet, and a few people were ready to go to the beach again.

It just so happened that the people of Shimojo were going to the beach to find that Aramaki Yoshiichi, so they came to the beach together.

I thought it was just a normal walk, but it was barely special by the sea.

I didn't expect to see a terrifying scene on the beach.

Yoshiichi Aramaki was trapped in a fishing net and fell on the beach with his eyes wide open.

The waves crashed against him but nothing happened.

Obviously, this big man, who was very arrogant during the day, is now out of breath.

Because Aramaki Yoshiichi's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his expression was very terrifying, Xiaolan Yuanzi and the children were all frightened.

Zero and Yangping are better, at least they don't scream like Xiaolan and the others.

The next few people were much calmer, and they picked up the phone and prepared to call the police.

The moment Conan saw the corpse, he had already run to the side, crouching on the ground with a pensive look.

……

"I see, Mr. Aramaki had already made an appointment with you to meet you at eight o'clock tonight at the Dongfeng Building, a Chinese restaurant attached to the Queen's Hotel.

But when the time came, Mr. Aramaki didn't show up, and you went to the beach an hour and a half later, at 9:30, to see what was going on.

But I found out that this Mr. Aramaki was already covered in a net and was hit by the waves on the beach, isn't that so! ”

As he spoke, the officer suddenly approached the faces of the three people and asked sharply.

Looking at this scene, Conan, who was staying in Xiaolan's arms, twitched his face, this Henggou police officer is really as energetic as ever.

That's right, the police officer who led the team this time was the same officer Yokozo Sengo that they had met many times before.

And long before the police arrived, Xiaolan, who reacted, looked at Conan who was squatting next to the corpse and became angry.

Hurriedly stepped forward and smacked him on the head, and then took him in his arms so that he would not run around again.

Facing the Henggou police officer who suddenly approached, the three of them were a little nervous, after all, it was probably the first time in their lives to be so close to the police.

Yuta Yoshizawa took the lead in stretching out his hand to separate the two, and said embarrassedly: "You don't have to put your face so close!" ”

"We definitely didn't lie to you!"

After glancing at a few people, Officer Henggou said seriously: "Then, forgive me for being rude." ”

Then he took a step back.

"However, this Mr. Aramaki and your local fisherman have always been at odds with each other.

It's possible that the three of you drowned him here first, and then pretended to report the body to the police afterwards. ”

Hearing his words, the hot-tempered Shimojo Deng suddenly couldn't help it, "What did you say!" ”

At this moment, though.

"I can prove that a few of them are true."

The sound of the garden interrupted the conversation of several people, and Officer Henggou realized that there were several people he knew very well.

"It's Xiaolan and the garden!"

Yuan Zi continued: "Actually, during the day, Xiaolan and I had already heard on the beach that they were going to meet this dead gentleman. ”

As she spoke, she looked at Xiaolan beside her, "Right, Xiaolan?" ”

Xiaolan nodded, "Well, besides, we can also be sure that the three of them went to the Chinese restaurant just now." ”

Hearing this, Shimojo said arrogantly: "Look at it! ”

"But the three of them came at different times."

Officer Yokogou looked over and was a little surprised, "Oh, Dr. Agasa!" ”

At this time, Ayumi pointed to Shimojo Noboru and said, "This skinny big brother came after seven and ten o'clock. ”

"This little chubby brother came around eight o'clock."

This is Motota pointing at Yuta Yoshizawa and saying.

In the end, Mitsuhiko pointed to the embarrassed Nezu Shinji, "This tanned big brother only came at 8:40. ”

Listening to their words, Yokozo Sango was a little surprised, "Oh, these children don't look like people here!" ”

Dr. Asa scratched his head, "Oh no, they actually live nearby, and their parents asked me to take them out on a trip when they saw them on summer vacation." ”

Officer Yokozo suddenly realized, "If you say that, Conan is ...... with that girl who looks like a little adult."

"Oh, Xiao Ai, rest in the hotel.

To say Conan's words, you see, there it is. ”

As he spoke, he looked in one direction.

A few people followed his gaze and found Conan, with a large bag on his head, squatting next to the corpse, not knowing what he was thinking.

It turned out that Xiaolan broke free while she was not paying attention before.

Thinking that there were some doubts on the corpse, I didn't understand it, so I came to the corpse again.

Seeing this scene, Officer Henggou was suddenly shocked, it was a big mistake to let the child stay next to the corpse.

But before he could make a move, Xiaolan ran behind Conan first.

"Conan, I've told you many times, I can't disturb the police handling the case!"

Then, looking at Conan's tearless expression and the two big bags on his head, Officer Henggou also swallowed his saliva.

Originally, there was only one bag on the head and it was a little incongruous, but now it's okay, and there is another one, just symmetrical.

Then the Henggou police officer also said: "Xiaolan is right, the corpse can't be touched!" ”

Conan covered his head and said, "Officer Henggou, don't you think it's strange? ”

Yokogou looked at him with some confusion.

"He was obviously drowned, but his clothes and body were full of injuries, and besides, how could he be wrapped in fishing nets?"

"Well, this, I'm afraid that the murderer used a net to restrict his freedom in order to drown him conveniently.

These injuries may have been inflicted during an argument between him and the murderer. ”

After subconsciously answering his question, Officer Yokogou suddenly realized that something was wrong.

No, why should a policeman answer a child's question!

Thinking of this, he looked at Conan viciously, "Just leave this kind of thing to the police!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the police officer on the side, "Hey, take the corpse for autopsy!" ”

"Yes!"

So far in the case, Yuta Yoshizawa and others are also a little irritable.

"Hey, may I ask if we can go back now!

We have to get ready to go fishing tomorrow! ”

Officer Henggou retorted: "How can that be, I still have a lot of things to ask you!" ”

Nezu Shinji frowned, "You're still suspicious of us!" ”

Shimoto on the side also said impatiently: "Didn't I say it? The three of us were waiting for him at the place we agreed with him! ”

Officer Yokogou said, "But before you agreed to meet, there was also plenty of time for you to kill the victim.

Judging from the way you went to the beach to find the victim, it really doesn't make sense. ”

Shinji Nezu explained: "It was because we saw that he hadn't shown up after eight o'clock, so we immediately called his mobile phone to call him out.

Although he hung up immediately without speaking, the sound of waves came from the phone. ”

"The sound of the waves?"

Nobuji Nezu nodded, "Yes, that's why we're here to find him."

Because this beach is the closest road between his house and the hotel. ”

Noboru Shimojo added, "Actually, I made a phone call when I was waiting for him alone in the Dongfeng Building, and then I made a second call when Yuta came. ”

Yuta Yoshizawa, who was suddenly cued, said: "To tell you the truth, I also hit once, and I did it before I went to Dongfeng Tower."

Because I'm worried about whether he's really going to go. ”

"Is this true?"

Yuta Yoshizawa nodded in acknowledgement, "Well, though, we called several times, and he didn't answer any of them!" ”

"If you think we're lying to you, just check the call logs on his phone!"

It just so happened that at this moment, the people in the forensic class also found a mobile phone in the pocket of Yoshiichi Aramaki's clothes.

"According to the call logs, Mr. Yoshizawa made the call at 7:02.

Mr. Shimojo made three rounds at 7:47, 8:03, and 8:18.

Then there was a call from Mr. Nezu at 8:41. ”

"It's true that there are only a few of you on the phone.

In this way, it wasn't Mr. Aramaki himself who answered the phone, it was the murderer who killed Mr. Aramaki who answered the phone.

But why didn't this person answer the phone call from Mr. Yoshizawa and Mr. Shimojo just now? ”

Xia Tiaoden complained: "How do I know this!" ”

"But then you should know that we are not his murderers, right?"

Looking at the three of them, Conan began to brainstorm again.

Intuition tells him that the murderer is among the three people, but intuition is not enough evidence.

At this time, Dr. Asa came over and asked in a low voice, "Hey, I said Shinichi, do you have an idea?" ”

Conan shook his head.

Immediately, Dr. Asa said with some embarrassment: "I said that Shinichi, it's time for you to go to the temple to find someone to help you get rid of bad luck."

I always feel like I can encounter a case every time I go out with you, and I didn't think it before, but this year this feeling is particularly violent.

It's like the Grim Reaper, accidents happen everywhere you go, and if you continue to do so, Japan's police force should not be enough. ”

Hearing his words, Conan's expression instantly froze, and then he said a little angrily: "What are you talking about, Doctor, what kind of death, this is clearly the case calling me as a detective."

Doctor, if you want to believe in science as a scientist, how can you believe in these ethereal things? Compared to the Grim Reaper, I might as well believe that I am the main character of the anime. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
