Chapter 1257 The crime of waiting for someone to do something

"Hey, I've re-enlightened my criminal knowledge and we've met again."

Seeing the other person's neat hairstyle, Karasawa immediately recognized the other person as the younger brother of the twin brothers, Yokomori Shigego.

The one who is completely opposite to his brother and hates Mouri Kogoro.

"Karasawa Criminal, why are you here?" Hearing the familiar voice, Henggou Shigego looked up and said in surprise after finding Karasawa.

"Of course I came here to soak in the hot springs."

When Tangze said this, he spread his hands with a look of helplessness on his face: "But unfortunately, a good rest day also allowed me to catch up on the case."

"That's really bad." Henggou Shigego felt the same way: "It's really unlucky to turn a good rest day into a working day."

"Anyway, that's the situation. If you want to chat, let's wait until the case is solved. Let me tell you about the situation before and after the case."

After talking about this, Tang Ze recounted in detail how Haiyuan and others discovered the case this morning. Of course, this also included his judgment on the corpse.

"So, except for the fact that the deceased walked into the "female soup", which is suspicious, the crime scene looks like a complete accident?"

Hengmou Shigego looked at the body on the ground that was being photographed and collected for evidence, and his eyes scanned the soles of the other person's feet and the soap not far away.

"Yes, I also asked the hotel staff before you came."

Karasawa nodded and said: "According to what they said, it was too early and the hot springs were not open yet, but there were always customers who wanted to go to the hot springs in advance to watch the sunrise, so they usually intercepted them at the entrance of the trestle.

The two staff members also made it clear that before several children came to the trestle to ask for entry, the deceased Tetsama Iwaji was the only one who entered the open-air hot spring. "

"That is to say, Tetsama Iwaji was actually in a secret room, waiting for those few brats to enter, and then discovered the other party's body."

Yokomori Shigego glanced at the corpse and said, "The only possibility now is that the old man slipped and accidentally hit his head, which ultimately led to his death, right?"

"No, you can see that there is still a little water left in the clavicle of the corpse, including the belly button."

Tangze pointed at the two depressions on the opponent's collarbone and navel, "Although there is only a shallow layer of water in these two places, don't forget that the deceased slipped hard enough to cause severe head injuries and death.

In this case, it would be understandable if there were still some water droplets left on the body, but it was too abnormal that the shallow puddle did not splash. "

"Indeed, indeed."

Hengmou Shigego was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and looked at Tangze, "Then what do you think might be causing this situation?"

"It's simple. Someone ran hot water over the deceased's body in an attempt to wash away something."

Tangze's words made Henggou Shigego startled: "Wash away something."

Thinking of this, Henggou Zhongwu's pupils shrank and he suddenly said: "By the way, it's blood!
  The messenger was hit hard on the back of his head, which means the prisoner hit him from behind.

Although the injury caused by a heavy blow with a blunt object is consistent with the trace of an accidental fall on a stone, the blood spatter will be different.

The deceased was attacked while standing, causing blood to spatter on his shoulders and back. If the blood still remained on his body, we would definitely find something wrong.

So in order to avoid being noticed by us, the other party used hot water to wash away the blood stains on the body.

So, this is a murder case! ? "

"Not only that, but also a secret room murder case."

At this moment, Conan's slightly serious words sounded from the side: "When we found the body, no one was found in this place except Haiyuan and the others who came with me.

Besides that, I didn't hear anyone jumping into the lake. "

"Completely secret room." Henggou Shigego said with a solemn expression as he headed outside: "Have people from the forensics department come over and carefully investigate the inside and outside of this room for me!"

"It's just a hindrance here. Let's leave the room for now." Tang Ze greeted Conan and walked out.

Conan nodded to this and followed Karasawa out of the room.

As soon as they arrived at the trestle, Gentai and Mitsuhiko gathered around him with red faces.

"Conan, how are you?" Mitsuhiko said excitedly in a low voice.

"Did you see it?" Yuantai also swallowed nervously.

"What did you see?" Conan asked with a confused look on his face when the two little ones asked.

"That's it." Mitsuhiko glanced at Haiyuan and the two standing behind him, covered his mouth and whispered: "That one."

"Didn't Ayumi scream?" Yuantai said weakly.

"Ah~ I saw it." After hearing the two people's words, Conan suddenly nodded seriously.

And because Conan's voice was not covered in any way, Haibara and Ayumi, who had actually eavesdropped in the distance, were shocked when they heard the words, and their faces inevitably turned red with embarrassment.

"As expected!"

"I saw it!"

Mitsuhiko and Genta's faces turned red and looked panicked.

"Yes, you can see it very clearly."

Conan replied without realizing it: "After all, I saw it when I was soaking in a hot spring, so it's natural, right?
  I’ve seen everything naked, Karasawa.”

"I'm talking about you!!" Haiyuan blushed and immediately rushed to shout: "Too bad!"

"Conan, you idiot, idiot, idiot!!" Ayumi shouted in embarrassment, as if she wanted to vent her shame and anger through a roar.

Of course, this is normal. After all, no girl can accept the fact that she is exposed, not to mention that the other party still uses the adjective "naked", which is also embarrassing and infuriating.

But facing the shameful and angry roars of Haiyuan and others, Conan's calm face showed a trace of surprise: "Didn't you all see it? Grandpa's body.

This is nothing, right? Tangze Criminal also saw it? "

"Eh?"

Looking at Conan's slightly confused expression, the four little ones realized that the other party seemed to have misunderstood what they had said before, and all of them turned into "beady eyes" for a while, their faces full of confusion.

Tangze on the side couldn't help but laugh after hearing the "cross-channel chat" between the two sides.

How should I put it, it’s really very Conan-esque.

Compared to the beauty, he only has corpses in his eyes, cases in his heart, and everything else is just a cloud.

Of course, this is not absolute. After all, as a "Lansexual", Conan definitely has no resistance to Xiaolan. However, Tangze's smile seemed a bit abrupt at this time. After all, he, an outsider, smiled so unscrupulously, which made the four little animals feel ashamed in their hearts to varying degrees.

Conan's emotional intelligence has also improved a lot since he confessed to dating Xiaolan. Although he didn't realize it before, he gradually realized something under Tang Ze's laughter.

"What the hell are you talking about."

Although Conan reacted belatedly, in order to avoid embarrassment, Conan still used the talent he inherited from his mother and began to act silly, looking at the four little ones with a speechless expression and said.

"We are talking about the old man's body, and we all saw it!" Mitsuhiko explained in a panic as he waved his hands in embarrassment.

"Yeah, we took a peek after the criminal came." Yuantai quickly agreed, as if he wanted to use this explanation to ease the previous embarrassment.

"how could it be possible?"

Now it was Conan's turn not to believe it: "You guys didn't enter the room at all, how could you see the body?"

"It's true, but it's just seen from the outside." Mitsuhiko pointed behind him: "After passing through the outdoor unit of the ventilation fan, you can see it by crossing these railings."

Following Mitsuhiko, the group stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window and clearly saw the scene inside the window from the sliding door.

"Eh!? Where did you come from!?"

Henggou Shigego, who had his back to them in the room, seemed to be aware of it. When he turned his head, he saw Karasawa and the others and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"The balcony here is connected to the passage outside." Tangze reached out and opened the sliding glass door and thought, "Well, it's not locked, so that might be even bigger."

"I see."

Haiyuan suddenly said after hearing this: "What if it was at 11 o'clock the night before, when the hot spring door was not locked, and he secretly hid in the blind spot formed by the outdoor unit of the ventilation fan in the passage.

Then he waited until after four o'clock when the old man came to take a bath and killed him. When the crowd gathered and the scene was chaotic, he took the opportunity to walk out of the blind spot formed by the outdoor unit.

In this way, he can blend into the commotion of guests without anyone noticing.

Is that right? "

"That's right."

Looking at Haiyuan's focused gaze, Tang Ze gave him a thumbs up. Seeing Tang Ze's approval, a smile appeared on the corner of Haiyuan's mouth.

"In short, after discovering such a passage, the secret room will naturally collapse."

Karasawa looked at Henggou Shigego and said: "What we have to do now is to check among the guests who came to the open-air hot spring in the lake. They did not come with their companions or told anyone, but secretly came here alone. guest.

At least their suspicions were much greater than those of those who accompanied them. "

"Ah" Henggou Zhongwu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then quickly said: "I will have people go down to investigate immediately."

Although the investigation has not started yet, Tang Ze has already guessed the result of the investigation.

As expected, the suspect this time is still "one of the classic three".

"This is the situation. At that time, you came to this open-air hot spring alone without telling anyone else. You three were the only ones."

After explaining the case, he looked at the two men and one woman in front of him. He put his hands in his pockets and his eyes were full of scrutiny:
  "Other guests are basically families or couples who come to play together. Only Mr. Tetsama Iwaji and the three of you live alone.

And it just so happens that the three of you are still related to the deceased here, Tetsama Iwaji, and you are indeed the most motivated to kill Mr. Tetsama Iwaji.

So now, please three of you hand over your belongings, and explain where you were and what you were doing at the presumed time of death, which is 5 a.m. when Tanese Teseyama Iwaji was killed. Please explain clearly. "

Speaking of this, Yokomori Jugo looked at the only woman among the three: "Well, first of all, let's start with Miss Natori Fukushiro, who is the heroine of Mr. Tetsama Iwaji's script."

"Although I don't know how this happened, I only brought a small bag with cosmetics and a towel with me."

Natori Fukushi took out two things and explained: "As for the room key, I left it at the front desk.

Because the staff said that you can leave the key at the counter when you go to the open-air hot spring.

The time I came to this open-air hot spring was around 5:30, because I thought I could soak in the hot spring here while waiting for the sunrise.

After all, I like to soak in hot springs, so I will not miss the opportunity to enjoy the sunrise while soaking in the hot springs. "

"Is that so?" Henggou Shigego nodded after hearing this, and immediately asked: "Then you and Mr. Tieshan are simply a partnership between script writer and actress, right?"

"Yes, that's it." Natori Fukushi nodded.

"Stop lying!"

At this time, Temple Yunping on the side, perhaps in order to retaliate for the embarrassment the other party had caused to him, slowly revealed his malicious intentions: "It's obvious that Mr. Tieshan, that perverted old man, just likes you, doesn't he?
  Not only that, but I heard that the reason why the heroine chose you this time is because you have become Teacher Tieshan’s lover, so I can win it.

It’s just a cooperative relationship, who are you kidding? "

"Ha!? What nonsense are you talking about!!"

When Natori Fukushi heard the other party slandering her, she immediately shouted angrily at Temple Temple Yunpei: "The reason why I was able to win this role was entirely due to my own strength!

Please don't compare me to a guy like you who flattered Teacher Tieshan and barely became a candidate for the protagonist! "

"What kind of alternate!? Teacher Tieshan has obviously confirmed that it is me!" Temple Yunping retorted dissatisfiedly: "I am the same as you!"

"Then I want to ask, as the protagonist, what are you doing at five o'clock?"

Seeing that after the classic exchange of information was provided, it was likely to turn into a quarrel, Karasawa went straight to Temple Yunping and stopped the quarrel between the two.

He looked at Temple Yunping with sharp eyes and asked.

"Ah" Temple Yunping saw Tang Ze's gaze and subconsciously said nervously: "At that time, I was still sleeping in the room.

After getting up later, it was not even six o'clock when I came over to soak in the hot springs.

As for what’s on my body.”

Temple Yunping dug into his pocket and took out his belongings: "There are only three items: towels, cigarettes and keys."

"Didn't you leave the key at the front desk?" Henggou Shigego asked carefully.

"Because it's too much trouble." Temple Yunping replied weakly.

Yokomori Shuugo narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Teradou Yunpei who looked a little guilty. He did not continue to ask questions, but turned his attention to Tanzawa Junsaku.

"It's your turn." Yokomori Shigego looked at Tanzawa Junsaku and signaled.
