The clouds moved slowly and the moon showed its true face.
The cherry blossoms are brilliant, the Yajiang River is sparkling, and the bright moon is like a disk, reflecting a shadow in the river that seems to be within reach.
Kamikawa Shun was sitting on the balcony eating snacks and looking at the moon, when a scream suddenly came from downstairs.
He looked at the last bite of snack left in his hand, finished it slowly, then stood up and walked towards the place where the scream came from.
The screams came from the basement. When Kamikawa Shun came over, the door was already full of people.
The deceased¡¯s name was Masazo Sakura, and he was the man who originally drank with Kogoro Mori and told him about the Yoshitsune.
The death scene was a warehouse for storing sundries, and there was quite a bit of chaos in the warehouse. The deceased was lying on his back on the ground, blood seeping from his neck, and he was no longer breathing.
Around the deceased, some boxes were scattered on the ground. The deceased's shirt was unbuttoned, and the wallet was opened and placed casually on his stomach. The money in the wallet was not touched, but the cards in the wallet seemed to have been turned over.
Hattori was checking the situation. Conan was sitting on the ground with his butt in his hands. It was obvious that Kogoro Mouri had just thrown him out.
"what's the situation?"
Hattori squatted next to the body and examined it with a handkerchief. "The carotid artery was severed by a sharp blade."
Judging from the wounds, the murder weapon should be a sharp dagger.
Judging from the coagulation of the blood, the murderer had enough time to dispose of the murder weapon.
It¡¯s just that things like knives cannot be disposed of easily. Even if they are thrown somewhere, they can easily be found by the police.
Kamikawa Shun stood at the door and glanced inside, "Have you called the police?"
¡°I¡¯ve already called someone to call the police.¡±
"Until the police arrive, please go back to your room and stay. No one can leave here."
Mouri Kogoro looked at the people following him sternly, as if his drunk appearance was just an illusion.
"You guys should go back to your room." Kamikawa Shun looked at the girls next to him. Although they had seen a lot of various murder cases, it was better not to look at things like dead people.
"Okay." The girls nodded and went back to their rooms together.
Kamikawa Shun walked in to check the condition of the deceased. The cause of death of the deceased was excessive arterial bleeding, and his throat was cut directly with a knife.
There were no signs of resistance around him. The deceased's throat was neatly cut without any precautions.
The murderer was very skilled and was not discovered by the deceased at all when he entered the warehouse.
Of course, it is also possible that the deceased and the murderer arranged to meet here, and then the murderer killed the deceased unexpectedly.
It¡¯s just a pity that the deceased didn¡¯t leave any death message, and he died cleanly and neatly.
Kamikawa Shun looked at the clothes of the deceased. The buttons of his coat fell off. Judging from the situation, it should be that the murderer forcibly opened it in order to get the wallet from the inner pocket.
"The murderer should be looking for something."
Kamikawa Shun remembered that this person said that he had a copy of "Yoshisuke". If nothing else, this person should be a member of the thieves group.
"should be."
Hattori obviously also guessed that this person was related to the thieves group, but it was a pity that they knew it too late, and the deceased was already dead.
"The murderer should be among the people tonight."
They asked Mouri Kogoro to come over on the grounds that they wanted to hear reasoning, and they mentioned Geneji Hotaru without leaving any trace. No matter how they looked at it, they wanted to inquire about Moori Kogoro's progress.
Five of Genji Hotaru are currently known to be dead, and with the one who died tonight, there are only two left.
Among these people tonight, there is at least one more.
"kindness."
Hattori naturally thought of what Kamikawa Shun thought. He knows more and more comprehensively than Kamikawa Shun.
The door of this small building is a wooden door. When the door is opened, it will make a sound. The landlady will find that the murderer is unlikely to be someone from outside. On the contrary, it is more likely that the deceased's companions did it. .
The suspects all went to the toilet alone after the deceased left. Next to the toilet is the stairs leading to the basement, so it is easy to attack.
After Hattori checked around, he walked outside the door and prepared to go to the toilet. Conan followed him.
Kamikawa Shun looked at their backs and yawned.
I feel a little sleepy and want to sleep.
I don¡¯t know how long they will be busy and whether the hotel has been booked.
When he walked to the door, he saw the police coming., headed by a police officer with triangular eyes.
This was the first time Kamikawa Shun saw this Ayanokouji police officer. According to Conan, he had the habit of carrying squirrels with him, but he didn't see him.
He walked around the house and took a look at the river below. When he came back, Conan and Hattori's people were no longer in sight.
Hattori and Conan came to the deceased¡¯s antique shop on Teramachi Road. Conan took out the key that had been taken away from the deceased and used it to open the door of the antique shop.
Hattori didn¡¯t comment at all on Conan¡¯s very convenient behavior. He walked into the store openly, looking here and there, but neither of them had the consciousness to break into a private house.
Conan stepped on the chair and looked through the books on the cabinet, one person responsible for one side.
Soon, Conan found the "Yisukeki" from the bookshelf.
"Hattori, we found it."
Hearing Conan¡¯s words, Hattori quickly came over.
Opening the title page, the name [Ise Saburo] was written with a brush on the blank title page.
"So Mr. Sakura is Ise Saburo? Then the only ones who don't have identities yet are Yoshitsune and Benkei." Hattori said his inference.
The police also deduced the identities of those people from the title pages of "Yi Sutra" held by those people respectively.
He suddenly found a piece of paper tucked into the book. When he unfolded it, he found that the content on the paper was exactly the same as the one written by Mouri Kogoro.
An idea suddenly came to his mind, "Do you think it is possible that Yoshitsune is dead? And this is exactly the puzzle set by Yoshitsune. Whoever solves this puzzle first will be the next Yoshitsune!"
He tapped his palm fiercely, and the more he talked, the more he felt that his idea was right.
The letter received by Sannoji Temple was deliberately placed by Genji Hotaru's people, in order to ask Mouri Kogoro to help find the Buddha statue in a way that would not arouse suspicion!
"It's just that if this is the case, then only Benkei is still alive, and this test is meaningless"
"But this way we still don't know who the murderer is"
Among the people drinking tonight is the client, Mr. Long Yuan, and the possibility that the client is the murderer cannot be ruled out.
Conan didn¡¯t refute Hattori¡¯s reasoning. He also felt that this idea was correct.
"The murderer is very good at swordsmanship and bow and arrow. Maybe we can start from this aspect. At the same time" Conan looked at the paper in his hand.
"At the same time, we also need to solve this mystery and find the Buddha statue!"
There are still two days before the consecration day of the Buddha statue, so they must make two preparations. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
