Chapter Seventy-Five: The Murder at the Mt. Fuji Hotel
"What?!!" Tatsuya heard the staff say that the hot spring was broken, and immediately angrily slapped the key on the table. "Even the hot springs are broken, what's the point of me still living here? Fix it for me right away! Or I'll bankrupt your shop tomorrow." ”
The staff member was taken aback and hurriedly ran to the backstage, probably trying to repair the hot spring.
Since the hot spring can be repaired, there is no need for Ariel to go back to rest with a sweat, so she also sat in the hall.
Because everyone is tired, even the garden, which usually likes to talk the most, just lies there in a daze.
Soon, the atmosphere fell silent.
The bored Tatsuya took a bottle of wine from the service desk and began to drink.
Tomomi took out the perfume-like thing from her bag and began to spray it.
"I said I wouldn't let you spray this thing, get out of the way, dead woman. ”
Probably a little drunk, Tatsuya began to roar undisciplinedly. Tomomi also argued with him without showing weakness.
Probably because she didn't think it was interesting to quarrel with a drunk, Tomomi didn't speak anymore, but walked to the other side and continued to squirt.
The two bodyguards standing there took out their chewing gum and stuffed it into their mouths and chewed it.
The atmosphere was quiet again.
Suddenly, the bodyguard in a hat named Youhui suddenly waved something with his hand, as if he was chasing insects.
Hawkers,This kind of bitter beep man who stinks sweat and attracts bugs is really miserable.。
Immediately afterwards, as if he had found an insect, Yuhui hit his nose with a "snap" of his right hand.
But it doesn't seem to have hit.
"Damn!" Yuhui whispered. Then he slapped it the table.
With a "snap", even Ariel felt pain for him.
But it still doesn't seem to hit.
The unwilling Youhui waved into the air again.
But it seems to have failed.
Ariel and her party, who witnessed all this, almost didn't laugh. Yuan Zi even covered his mouth with his hand and endured it.
Anyway, you don't have to have such a grudge against that bug, they just stayed on your nose for a while.
"That, guest. The hot springs have been repaired. The frightened waiter ran over and said.
"Repaired, repaired?" Tatsuya staggered to his feet and walked to the hot springs, even though he was already drunk.
It always felt like he was going to fall in. Ariel thought.
―――――――――――――――――― ―――――――――――――――― -
The next day.
Ariel, who was sleeping on a tatami mat with a quilt, suddenly felt something shaking her head.
"Don't bother me, I'm going to sleep. Ariel turned around and got ready to fall asleep again.
"Wake up, Ariel-chan!" Ran pulled Ariel-up and shook her shoulder. "Something's wrong!"
"Huh?" Ariel's eyes were half-open, "Did breakfast fly away?"
What kind of dream are you having?
"No, do you remember the chairman's wife last night?
What the?
Ariel's pupils shrank sharply, and her sleepiness disappeared cleanly.
Has the case finally come?
By the time Ariel hurriedly got dressed and ran downstairs, there were already a lot of people gathered downstairs.
Most of them are tourists and waiters.
Tatsuya and his two bodyguards were also present, as if they were under investigation.
Relying on her height advantage (fog), Ariel, who managed to squeeze into the center of the crowd, found two old acquaintances.
Amumu Thirteen and Takagi Shot
(You misleading maniac, change it for me.) )
Well, it's Twilight Thirteen and Wataru Takagi.
"Amumu, Officer Twilight, may I ask what is going on. Ariel asked the fat man in the yellow hat who was surveying the dead on the ground.
(There are a lot of slots in the previous paragraph of this sentence.) )
"Huh, who are you, how do you know me?" Twilight Thirteen looked at Ariel with a puzzled expression.
"Ah, I'm a detective, I know Kogoro. ”
"Officer Twilight. Xiaolan also squeezed in. "She's the daughter of a European friend of my father, and she's a detective. ”
"Ah, that's right. Then I got it. Twilight 13 said, "It just so happens that I'm also worried about the lack of detectives, Kogoro has gone to Europe." ”
"Well, please, tell me about the situation. ”
"Okay. Twilight Thirteen said to make way for Ariel.
"The deceased is named Tomomi Igarashi, the wife of the chairman of the Igarashi Foundation. The approximate time of death should have been late last night, and the cause of death should have been caused by falling from the third floor and hitting his head on the ground. But because we found a strangulation mark on the neck of the deceased, which is not very thick, it is also impossible to say for sure. As for the strangulation marks, it doesn't look like they were made by hand. ”
Ariel crouched down and looked at the deceased's neck, and sure enough, there was a strangulation mark, but it was much thinner than the width of her hand. What could it be?
Ariel, who couldn't think of it for a while, simply let go of this clue for the time being.
"By the way, Officer Twilight, who was with her last night. ”
"Ah, we've looked into this as well, because she's here with her husband and the bodyguards, so she should have been with her husband, Mr. Tatsuya, last night. ”
"No, I didn't do it. Tatsuya hurriedly waved his hand: "I was drunk yesterday, and I went to sleep after returning from the hot springs, and I don't know anything." ”
It seems that this is really the case. Ariel also remembered that the fat man blew on the bottle of wine for a long time last night, and it should have been finished.
"But we've also asked the staff here. "They said they wanted to call you for supper last night, but they found that your door had been locked, and there was only one key, so the rest of the people couldn't get in." That is, only you and your wife are in the room. And you have a bad relationship with your wife. ”
"Even if it's not good, I don't need to kill her, maybe the murderer came in through the window. Tatsuya argued.
Twilight pointed to the house, which had almost no place to stay directly through the window because the room was large.
"Do you think anyone would be able to climb up to a place like this? Not even the monster thief Kidd. ”
"Ahh
"Damn, who the hell cursed me again. Kidd hurriedly slipped down the rope to the roof.
Twilight Thirteen, who doesn't know that he has just stopped a mega theft, prepares to take Tatsuya under control first.
At this time, Ariel stopped him.
"Officer Twilight, it's too early to make a decision, let all the people present go back to the hotel, don't go out, let's go to the scene to see the situation. ”
Ariel didn't think this case would be solved like this.
After hesitating for a moment, Twilight Thirteen agrees.
(Ah, the case has begun, who's the real murderer?, I'm sure I won't talk about it here.) )
(Teenagers, ask for recommendations and collections?)
