Chapter 1560 The Novelist Who Suicided ()

After searching both paths, there was no sign of Ya Zhangzi. This situation seemed a bit subtle.

"I'm probably going back to the hotel to write a book."

But before Tangze could think more, Kanato Chisato next to her learned that Tangze had not found Masako, but she had no choice but to say: "Teacher, didn't she answer the phone before?

From my experience, the teacher must have been inspired, so she hurried back to write the book. "

"Then let's go back, we've almost finished playing anyway." Yuanzi said after hearing this.

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this, and the group walked towards the dock.

Walking downhill to the pier, everyone saw the boat docked by the lake.

It is said to be a pier, but in fact it is just a small wooden bridge, just to facilitate everyone to get on the boat.

The boat doesn't look too big, and it's a wooden boat that relies entirely on wood pulp.

“Everyone, look at me, I’ll take a picture for you~”

Just when everyone got on the boat one by one and only Kanato Qianli was left on the shore, the other party picked up the camera and motioned everyone to look at the lens.

After hearing this, everyone looked at the camera, smiled, or gestured, and Kanato Chisato pressed the shutter to record the people on the boat and the beautiful scenery behind them.

"Come up quickly, I'm going to leave you behind." Watching Kanato Qianli take the photo, Da Gaoke also picked up the oar and said with a smile.

"It's coming, it's coming." Kanato Chisato hurriedly put away the camera and jumped onto the boat.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Da Gaoke picked up the oar and started rowing slowly. Tang Ze, who was on the side, also picked up another oar and slid it on the other side of the boat.

With the cooperation of two people, the small wooden boat sailed smoothly towards the direction of the hotel at the other end of the lake.

Standing on the lake, looking at the forest in the distance and the endless lake, this beautiful scenery can't help but make people feel relaxed and happy.

"Wow, what a beautiful scenery~" Yuanzi looked at the scenery in front of him and said excitedly: "This time is really not in vain."

"Yes." Ayako said with a smile: "I never thought that there is such a beautiful scenery hidden here."

In this way, everyone swayed back to the hotel in the boat.

"The teacher is probably writing a book at home. I'll go take a look." Kanato Chisato looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I guess you are all tired after playing for so long. Go back and rest first."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and then dispersed and returned to their rooms to rest.

However, Tangze and others returned to the room and had just laid down on the bed to rest for less than ten minutes when they heard Kanato Chisato shouting outside the door.

After hearing this, Tang Ze opened the door and saw Kanato Senri and Da Gaoke also searching for Masako outside the door.

"What's going on?" Tang Ze looked at the two of them and asked, "Isn't Teacher Zhang Zi in the room?"

"Yes." Kanato Chisato became a little panicked when he said this: "I walked around all the places where the teacher often stays and writes books, but I couldn't find the teacher."

"Anyway, let's look for it again, maybe it's hiding in some corner." Da Gaoke also said.

"Let's help too."

While the three of them were talking, Yuanzi heard their conversation and opened the door and walked out. Hearing this, he spoke directly.

"Thank you so much." Kanato Chisato said gratefully, "Then let's spread out and search."

After hearing this, everyone simply divided the search area and dispersed.

At this time, Tang Ze already had some bad premonitions.

Although this hot spring hotel is not crowded during the off-season, it is also very popular in winter, so the hotel is very large and has several floors.

However, since there were very few tourists in the hotel at this time, there was no obstacle for Karasawa to use his super sense of smell.

But unfortunately, even so, nothing was found. There was no smell of Yazhangzi in the hotel.

"what!!"

At this moment, a frightened scream sounded faintly from outside the hotel. Tang Ze's expression changed when he heard the sound, and he ran towards the outside of the hotel.

"Oh no!!"

"Brother-in-law! Come here quickly!"

At this moment, the panicked Da Gaokeya and Yuanzi ran over, their faces full of panic.

"Did you bring your mobile phone?" Da Gaoke asked with a panic on his face: "Hurry up and call the police!"

When everyone introduced themselves before, they were all surprised because Gaoke also guessed that Ayako and the two were daughters of the Suzuki Consortium.

Therefore, Tang Ze had no chance to talk about his occupation in the future. Da Gaoke naturally didn't know his occupation, so he asked him to use his mobile phone to call the police.

However, Sonoko on the side knew Tangze's occupation and immediately said straight to the point: "Brother-in-law, Teacher Masako is dead!"

"Take me there!"

When he heard the scream, Tang Ze already had a premonition in his heart. Now when he heard Yuanzi's words, his expression remained unchanged and he said, "Take me there."

"It's right over there at the hot spring!"

Hearing Tang Ze's calm words, Sonoko's face calmed down. After saying this, he hurriedly turned around and ran towards the hot spring with Tang Ze.

Seeing Tang Ze and the others leaving, Da Gaoke quickly shouted: "Call the police first!"

"My brother-in-law is a criminal!" Yuanzi shouted without looking back. When Da Gaoke heard this, his face froze and his eyes were a little shocked, and he followed immediately.

After arriving at the women's hot spring bath in the open-air hot spring, the first thing Karasawa saw when he entered was a crying Chisato Kanaya and Ayako who was hugging her and comforting her warmly.

After seeing Karasawa arriving, Ayako pointed to the hot spring pool next to her. Karasawa looked over and found Masako, a beautiful writer, lying in the hot spring with her hair disheveled.

The originally clear hot spring water was now infected with bright red blood.

"There is a cut on the wrist." Tang Ze picked up the other person's arm and looked at the injury, then tested the pulse, shook his head and said, "It's hopeless."

"Is it suicide?" Da Gao Ke also said in a difficult tone.

"teacher!"

After Chisato Kanaya heard what Katsuya Otaka said, he immediately broke down and shouted: "Why, why did the teacher commit suicide by cutting his wrists!!"

"Call the police first."

Tang Ze sighed after hearing this, and took out his cell phone with his left hand that was not wet with water to call the police to notify them of their arrival.

Looking at the dead Ya Zhangzi in the hot spring, Tang Ze gradually felt a little coldness and a little surprise in his eyes.

He really didn't think anything would happen if he met the three of them this time.

Because Conan is busy this week.

Akai Shuichi received a text message from Reina Mizuno, which only contained the three English letters "RUM".

But the meaning it represents is unusual. After all, "Rum" is a close confidant of the organization's BOSS, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number two figure.

The fact that Mizuno Reina only sent out these few letters here shows that the situation is so urgent that only these few letters can be sent out. Conan met Akai Shuichi, Judy and others this time to discuss this matter.

And because Tangze already knew this information, and it was not suitable for him to show up, he planned to take this opportunity to travel.

I originally thought that this trip would be okay, but the three people I met did not show any conflicts from the moment they met.
  Tangze felt that it was not a precursor to the case.

But who knew that reality would slap him in the face, and a murder actually occurred.

But now is not the time to think about this. Now that things have happened, what Tang Ze needs to do is to solve the case in front of him and catch the hidden criminal.

The most suspicious ones were the two people traveling with Ya Zhangzi.

Glancing at the two people next to him, Karasawa did not take the lead in asking questions. Instead, he asked Ayako to accompany Chisato Kanaya to the room to get the camera.

After collecting all the evidence about the case, Tang Ze took Masako's body wrapped in a bath towel from the hot spring pool to the ground next to the pool.

"Based on the characteristics of the corpse, the time of death was more than an hour." Tang Ze made a conclusion based on forensic knowledge.

"An hour." Da Gaoke squatted next to the body and covered his head and said angrily: "That means after the two of us separated on the road over the waterfall."

"Teacher, did she go back to the hot spring hotel and commit suicide?" Kanato Chisato cried bitterly.

"Um, teacher Zhangzi, has anything bad happened to her recently?" Sonoko asked while patting Kanato Chisato for comfort.

"Actually, teacher, she is worried about writing recently."

Kanato Chisato choked up while crying: "I have been having a hard time writing recently. I finally wrote something and I had to revise and correct it repeatedly."

"It is precisely because of this that I proposed to bring her here to relax." Da Gaoke also choked and said: "Who knows?"

Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Tang Ze sneered in his heart.

Although there is still no way to determine who the culprit is, according to the past "Ke Xue's Law", the murderer must be among the two of them.

Looking at the sad two people, Karasawa quietly called Sonoko and asked her agent Kanato Chisato if she had been with her the whole time when the incident occurred.

Tang Ze actually received a rare affirmative answer.

When the two of them were catching crabs, although they sometimes moved far apart to catch crabs, they disappeared from sight for no more than 5 minutes at most.

And after the other party catches the crab, they will happily run over and put the crab into the small pit they dug next to it.

In other words, the suspicion of Kanato Chisato can be completely eliminated.

Then Dagao Ke, who left with Ya Zhangzi but returned alone, became the biggest suspect in this case.

However, Tang Ze did not return immediately. After all, everything depends on evidence.

So while waiting for the police from Gunma County to arrive, Karasawa searched around the hotel.

Madaha Shancuncao, who soon became familiar with him, brought his men to the hot spring hotel.

After seeing them, Karasawa turned back from the hotel and walked towards the female hot spring bath.

"It seems like it was suicide!"

After seeing the wounds on the wrists of the corpse and hearing the reasons given by Chisato Kanaya and Katsuya Otaka, Soko Yamamura said with an expression of "I had already expected it": "It's pretty much what I thought."

"Don't think about it."

Tang Ze, who was walking by, heard Yamamura Cao's words and said helplessly: "Don't you check the surrounding environment after arriving at the crime scene?"

"Eh? Karaze Criminal?"

Yamamura Cao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I looked, there are hot springs around the body, there is nothing.
  Could it be that Tang Ze Criminal was looking for some evidence just now? "

"Come here."

Tang Ze stood in the women's bath changing room, beckoned to Yamamura Cao and pointed at the slippers in front of the door: "Did you see this? There are only five pairs of slippers, and there are six of us in total.

In other words, there are no slippers from Miss Masako Akiko. "

"Eh!?" Yamamura Cao was shocked when he heard this: "Really!"

"And look at the changing basket here, there are no clothes taken off by the deceased at all."

Tangze said: "This hot spring is open-air, and it is a long way away from the aluminum pole.

Even though it is the off-season and there are no customers, there are still waiters in the store.

Bath towels were also provided in the locker room, so it was impossible for Ya Zhangzi to come to the bathroom without clothes. "

"What!" Yamamura Cao was shocked when he heard Tangze's words, and then he looked hesitant and said: "Could it be lost somewhere?"

"What do you think I was doing when you weren't here?"

Tangze said helplessly: "To be cautious, I searched the entire hotel, but I didn't see the clothes or shoes she wore during the day."

"That's weird, it's impossible for the deceased to come back from outside naked."

When Yamamura Cao said this, his expression became serious: "In that case, the deceased was probably killed somewhere and then transported here by the murderer."

"I'm afraid that's it, and it was deliberately disguised as suicide." Tang Zedan said calmly: "This is a planned murder!"

"murder!?"

Kanato Chisato and Otaka Katsuya were shocked when they heard their conversation.

"Mr. Criminal, you are not doubting us, are you!?"

Kanato Qianri looked at Sonoko in a panic and said, "But after we disbanded at the waterfall, I was always with Miss Sonoko!

I had an alibi for the whole process, so I had no chance to murder the teacher! "

"Oh?" Yamamura looked at Yuanzi after hearing this and said, "Is what she said true?"

"Yes." Yuanzi nodded and said, "Although she left my sight in the meantime, she came back after a few minutes, so there should be no chance of killing someone."

"Hey, what about you?"

Yamamura Cao nodded when he heard this, turned to look at Ogao Katsuya on the side and said: "What about you, who were you with when you went out to play and disbanded? Can anyone prove it?"

"I was with Teacher Zhang Zi, but we soon separated!"

Da Gaoke also said with this urgency: "I really didn't kill the teacher!"

"Haha, I've heard murderers say this too many times."

Although Yamamura Cao often admits wrong criminals and falsely accuses innocent people of being the murderer, this time he did it wrongly.

With a proud look on Yamamura Cao's face, he pointed at Da Gao Katsuya and said confidently: "The murderer was a planned murder, so it must not be an outsider.

And only the two of you in this hotel know him, and your companion has Miss Sonoko as a witness. It can be said that he has a fairly sufficient alibi.

So of course the murderer is you! "
