Detective Conan's Scarlet Miracle

Chapter 659 Red Tragedy ([-])

Seeing the police and detectives coming back, Jumi turned her head and asked expectantly:

"And then? How? Did you find anything?"

"Hmm..." Yui Uehara looked at them hesitantly, and comforted him, "It's a little bit."

"Sister Shiliang hasn't come back yet?" Conan asked, looking around the temporary warehouse.

Both Jumi and Ren Tian shook their heads regretfully, looking at their faces, it seemed that Fei Linai was dead.

In their eyes, the little girl was probably in danger.

Shiliang looked out of the window, then turned his gaze back, and said, "I don't know where the red girl went, but the murderer who killed Mr. Bogu in the bathroom already knows."

"The one who killed Mr. Bogu?" Suzuki Sonoko frowned, "Isn't it the same person who escaped?"

Shirato shook her head.

"Ah. But when Miss Chengxiang and Xiaolan and Sonoko went to the bathroom to test the water, there was nothing abnormal. After the three of them cleaned the room and were about to take a bath, they found a large number of tomatoes floating in the bath. At the bottom of the bath Mr. Bogu's body was found..."

Uehara Yui recalled the course of the case and slowly narrated it.

"So the case should have happened when the three of them were cleaning the room. In this case, the murderer was the one who was preparing dinner in the kitchen during that time, Miss Zhumei or Mr. Ren Tian who went shopping at a store one kilometer away."

"But didn't you say that neither of these two people could have committed a crime?" Zhumi asked back.

"That's right, at that time, Miss Chengxiang and they were cleaning on the first floor where the bathroom is, so it was almost impossible to kill someone without being noticed by them," Uehara Yui also argued, "and when committing the crime, they wanted to cover the entire bathroom with water. If a large number of tomatoes and a few dumbbells with the body submerged in the water are brought into the bathroom, it is estimated that they will have to run back and forth several times, so it is impossible for the three of them to commit crimes."

Sera Masumi showed a look of premonition, and reminded: "If Ran and the others went to the bathroom to test the water temperature, Mr. Bogu's body was already at the bottom of the bath, then before that, he was cleaning alone on the second floor..."

"Miss Kawana Sumika, you are the only one who has the possibility of committing the crime, right?"

Her gaze fell directly on Chengxiang without any concealment, and Chengxiang subconsciously avoided her piercing gaze.

"However, at that time, Miss Chengxiang kept cleaning on the second floor, and we all heard the sound of the vacuum cleaner and the sound of the brush head hitting the wall."

Suzuki Sonoko and Mori Ran remembered it clearly, and they had the least doubts about Sumika in their hearts.

Conan stepped forward and said:

"That's Mr. Ren Tian's baseball with thick cardboard, made it look like wings, and then hung it on a pillar, and used an electric fan set to shake his head to blow him through the pillar. In that way, every time the bat is blown by the wind, It will hit the pillar when it rises and falls gently, and it will make a regular thud sound. The evidence is that there is something stuck on the end of the bat, and Mr. Ren Tian's room was cleaned at that time. There is still a hook for a bat on the table in his room directly above the room."

Mao Lilan raised her head, thinking carefully.

"But I didn't find the body when I tested the water temperature?"

In order to prove that her memory was correct, she also glanced at Suzuki Sonoko.

"At that time, the water in the bathroom was turned green by the bath salt, so you couldn't see the bottom, right?" Conan reminded.

"Maybe so, but there isn't a single tomato on the water..." Suzuki Sonoko also said.

"So it's just that it didn't float on the water!" Conan smiled, holding up a tomato and a teapot as if asking for credit. "This is the tomato that sister Kurosawa stole when she returned to the scene, if you put it in the water..." He let go of his finger and let the tomato sink into the pot. "Look! It's sinking."

"Where you buy vegetables at the market. There will be a demonstration like this too, right?"

How strange is it for you to show a tomato with a dead body?

"That's right, tomatoes with high sugar content will sink into the water differently from ordinary ones, so the tomatoes won't be stored at the bottom of the bath, so people can't see it?" Mao Lilan understood what Conan said, but couldn't bear it. Live asked:
"Then how do you get the tomato to float?"
