The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1250 Brother, you are a detective, not a murderer!

Such good brothers are rare among the police in the world of science.

Detective Hakuba agreed with the police officer's reasoning.

Kogoro Mori wanted to speak, but he was embarrassed and didn't say anything because he also thought that this was an accident.

Inspector Nishimura looked at the people present with his hands in his pockets.

It's not to show off.

The main reason was that he didn't wear gloves and his hands were a little cold.

He said in a low voice: "When did you guys find out that Miss Ogura Sakuko was missing?"

"Where were you when you disappeared?"

"Excuse me, officer, what do you mean by that..."

The people who heard this were all stunned, and they all looked at him in dissatisfaction: "Do you suspect that we killed Shuozi?"

"This can't possibly be okay!"

"Whether it is possible or not, we will have to wait until the investigation is completed."

Nishimura's tone was still low, "I can understand how you feel about suddenly losing your companion, but in this situation where it is obviously not an accident but a deliberate murder, you don't think about how to help your friends find the murderer, which is very suspicious..."

"Is the murderer among you?"

"..."

After hearing this, several people were speechless.

Because there is nothing wrong with this officer.

Fujino looked at Nishimura's operation and silently gave him a thumbs up.

If all the police in Japan were this kind of police.

I guess there is no detective work anymore.

The few people who came with the deceased began to describe the scene when they last saw the deceased.

The last time the fat boy Motoyama Kazuji saw Ogura Sakuko was before lunch at noon. Miss Onoue Maka followed behind and saw Sakuko returning to her room.

Afterwards, the four people who had agreed to meet in the cafeteria for lunch, but Sako never showed up. Worried that something had happened, they went to knock on the door of the room, only to find that she was not there.

After searching for Sakuko and the others in the hotel for a long time without finding them, they ran into Fujino and the others in the cafeteria.

Then, we received a call from the police to confirm the body.

As for the time while waiting for the meeting, Maka Onoue and Kaji Motoyama both said that they were staying in the room, while Kazuya Itabashi was making snowmen in the snow.

Nishimura listened to the explanations of several people and frowned: "So, Mr. Banqiao, where do you build snowmen in front of the hotel or in the back?"

"Right behind there is the snowman that looks like a snow monster."

"If that's the case, then didn't you see Miss Ogura?"

His words were sharp and his eyes were directed at Banqiao Yiba, focusing directly on the key point of the matter.

Banqiao Yiba was extremely helpless and shook his head slightly: "I didn't notice her. After all, I was concentrating on making a snowman at that time."

"I should have said before that we are students at an art university, and that snowman is our graduation project, which we will hand in in a few days..."

"Time is very tight, and I don't have the energy to pay attention to other things."

Nishimura narrowed his eyes, seeming to be a little suspicious of the explanation of this focused guy who was concentrating on making a snowman.

At this time, Brother Maori felt that he understood.

Suddenly he said, "I know! Who is the murderer?"

"???"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over with question marks.

Brother Maori coughed lightly to moisten his throat, then showed a serious look and spoke in a deep voice, pointing his finger: "Mr. Banqiao, you are the murderer!"

"While you were making a snowman, you asked Miss Ogura out, then took her to the edge of the cliff, pushed her down, and she fell into the lake!"

"After that, he threw the skis down with him!"

"The purpose was to conceal the fact that he had killed someone and make her death appear to be an accident!"

"As for making snowmen and all that, it's just an excuse!"

"..."

Fujino looked at Brother Maori, who was performing as stably as always, and felt a little speechless for a moment.

Well, this route of Banqiao guy can basically be ruled out.

After all, Brother Maori is a classic elimination auxiliary prop.

In Fujino's opinion, even if Itabashi killed Ogura, according to the method of the Beika people, he would definitely have to go around in a circle.

After all, in Mihua, even if there is only a small grudge to kill someone, you have to generate ideas quickly, use a set of killing methods that are impossible to think of in a short time, and then kill the person you want to kill at the speed of light.

It is not so easy to kill someone with such strong martial virtue.

Hakuba looked at the famous detective, 'the sleeping Maori Kogoro' and sighed.

He didn't have a very deep impression of this person.

At most, we've met a few times...

Originally, he had no idea about this uncle.

But now, he just thought this was a lousy detective.

Helplessly, he could only interrupt and say, "Well, Mr. Maori, you may have overlooked one thing."

"Ok?"

Kogoro Maori looked at Hakuba in confusion.

Bai Ma Tan explained: "From this perspective, it is very difficult to push a person into the lake. Even if they roll down the mountain, they will only stay at the edge of the lake due to the resistance of the thick snow."

Maori Kogoro smiled awkwardly, and then patched up, "It is also possible to use skis, tie her to the skis with ropes, and push her into the lake!"

However, it is obvious that Ogura's friends will not accept this kind of false accusation.

The slightly chubby Motoyama Kazuji was the first to complain: "She was tied to a ski and pushed down, so when she was found she must have been tied to a ski with ropes, right?"

"Then I should have used ice!"

Maori Kogoro answered without thinking: "Just freeze both ends of the rope with ice and you can push her down!"

"..."

Motoyama Kazuji was even more speechless, "So, Uncle with the mustache, can you please use your brain to think about it for a moment?"

"Let's not talk about freezing the two ends of the rope. Even if it is frozen, it will be very conspicuous to come out of the hotel with the rope, right?"

"And this hillside is so bumpy, how can the skis not fall over after being pushed down?"

Onoue Maka also agreed: "Besides, this could have been an accident. He might have taken off his gloves because he got lost and wanted to call us. After all, it's not convenient to press the buttons on a cell phone while wearing ski gloves."

Motoyama Kazuji nodded, thinking this explanation was very reasonable: "It was snowing heavily at the time, and maybe the wind blew it away right after she took it off."

"That makes sense," Banqiao Yiya agreed. "He was chasing the gloves or something, and ended up falling into the lake by accident, or falling off a cliff on his skis or something."

"..."

For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly changed, and the suspected accidental murder case was turned into an unexpected incident.

Nishimura's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at Maori Kogoro unkindly. How could this be good?
The boss was about to be defeated with great difficulty, but you, a nurse, healed the wrong person and directly filled up the boss's health.

It’s good enough that I don’t get beaten up!

Both Fujino and Dr. Agasa couldn't bear to watch.

Hakuba Tan had the same look in his eyes as Nishimura, and wanted to beat up this hateful old man who had backstabbed his teammate.

When Kogoro Maori noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, he immediately burst into laughter and kept silent.

Nishimura had no other options for this situation: "Let's take the body back to the police station for an autopsy and determine the cause of death first..."

"But before that, we have to go to the top of the hill where she might have fallen to determine how she fell."

While everyone was walking up the mountain, Hakuba asked Fujino, "Have you figured out what this case is about?"

"An accident is possible, but an accident is a little unlikely."

"..." Bai Ma Tan was silent, complaining in his heart: It's really like listening to your words...

Fujino glanced at the three-choice pool this time and continued, "No kidding, anyway, the murderer in this case should be one of these three people as always."

"I feel the same way."

Lao Ma said the same thing, and then reasoned: "In this kind of weather, carrying your companions on your back while eating to go skiing, and finally falling into the lake and drowning, it doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it."

As he spoke, he looked at the three people in front of him: "Among these three people, Banqiao is the most suspicious."

"After all, at that time, he was the only one who had the time to commit the crime."

"But I'm not sure about the motive for the crime."

Then he turned to Fujino and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think there's something wrong with that Onoue Mahua."

Fujino thought for a moment and recalled, "Before, I heard someone say that her steps were a little abnormal. She must have been injured. Then Ogura used skiing to mock her. It seems that the relationship between the two is not good."

"As a friend, you actually used your wounds to mock me. I think there is some hatred in it."

"Then do you think she killed Ogura?" Bai Ba Tan knew that when he was away, Fujino and his group met another group of people who were not in trouble, and couldn't help asking.

"Do you know anything about dog licking?"

"Is that the one you told me about before?"

"Yes."

Fujino nodded: "In this world, besides the person himself who will seek revenge, some lickers will also seek revenge for their goddesses... Although, his goddess may not appreciate it, but this does not prevent the lickers from actively serving as dogs and bringing bones for the goddess."

"If you think about it this way, then the other two people might also be like this... right?"

Hakuba Tan groaned, looked at the three people in front of him and murmured, "Except for Itabashi and Onoue, who are the most suspected, there is only Motoyama left. It seems that we need to find some substantial evidence to determine which of these three people killed Miss Ogura."

"The most difficult part is probably the method of killing."

"The outrageous methods that Uncle Maori mentioned are unlikely, but there is no doubt that the murderer pushed Miss Ogura into the lake."

"The question is, if the lake is not the primary scene, then how did the murderer throw her body into the lake..."

As he said this, he looked at Fujino.

Fujino shook his head slightly, feeling quite helpless: "I am not too sure about this either."

"Is that so?"

…………

When we reached the cliff slope, the snow gradually stopped.

The blizzard faded away, and the weakened snowflakes covered the mountains like velvety white snow, making the mountains look white.

The back of the hotel appeared before everyone's eyes.

In front of the cliff, there is a danger warning sign.

Looking down, there is a cliff and lake about five meters high. The place where everyone was just now was the shore of the lake.

According to the travel brochure, the lake behind the villa is actually a natural hot spring that spews out warm water and will not freeze even in winter.

This should be a good publicity gimmick. As long as they build an open-air pond or something, it will probably become a snow hot spring hotel. But unfortunately the hotel has no plans to develop this place for the time being.

After all, this is a small lake. If it is a small stake, it would only require building a few houses. However, if you want to develop such a lake, the funds required are not a small amount.

What's more, someone has died here.

Who would want to take a bath in a hot spring where people have died?

The rice flower specialty is acceptable, but this kind of contact with the body is scary to think about.

I glanced at the cliff, but found no clues.

The three people in the three-choice pool couldn't sit still anymore: "So, Shuozi, this was an accident. Why do you always treat this as someone did it on purpose?"

"that is……"

"Shuozi's body is still warm, but they are still taking her body for an autopsy..."

In Japan, autopsies are not very common, and family members sometimes oppose autopsies.

After all, this is fundamentally a destruction of the integrity of the corpse.

Family members or friends usually do not support an autopsy unless there is really no other way, whether in Japan or other countries.

It's impossible that he would be happy to cut a few knifes on the corpse for no reason, right?
This is neither intuitive nor logical.

Fujino looked at the people in the three-choice pool and silently examined the prompts on his task interface.

The traces left in the snow should be a clue. There should be some unspeakable relationship between the four people, or something like seeing through the different feelings in the snow...

Do we need people to lick the snow?
Fujino complained in his heart and turned to look at Bai Batan.

I saw him looking at the snowman, wondering what he was thinking.

After thinking for a while, Fujino walked forward and asked, "Have you found any clues?"

"No……"

Bai Matan frowned, "I just think this snowman is a little weird."

"Strange?"

"Didn't you notice that the color of this snowman's head and body is a little different?"

"Hmm, this snowman's head seems a little transparent."

Fujino nodded and sniffed it. "It smells salty, like the sea."

"Salt must have been used, right?" Bai Ma pondered. "Some snow sculptures often use salt water to blend with snow to increase the strength of the snow."

"Oh, the freezing point depression experiment." Fujino immediately understood what he meant. "It's about using salt to lower the freezing point of snow, so that the snow melts and absorbs heat, and absorbs the heat of the surrounding unmelted snow, making the snow harder, right?"

"Yes, it is like that."

Fujino stroked his chin and said, "But since it can quickly harden snow, then this trick can be used to make a weapon..."

"On a snowy day like this, if someone was stabbed to death with a big snow cone or an ice cone, and then it melted, there would be no way to find the murder weapon."

"..." Bai Ma listened to the outlaw next to him thinking about how to kill people without leaving any evidence, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.

Brother, you are a detective, not a murderer!

Don't suggest such a horrible idea!

There really are people who imitate it!
