Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

"Perhaps this left shoe was the one Tatsuhiko was wearing when he was found in the reservoir?"

Conan also squatted nearby. After glancing at Sugiyama who seemed to be thinking hard, he turned around and asked.

Don't overuse your brain, or it might freeze...

"I heard that when Tatsuhiko was found, he seemed to be wearing only swimming trunks."

Officer Shancun shook his head and said that he was still deeply impressed by this. After all, it was winter and he was still swimming in the river in shorts.

"correct!"

“That’s the reservoir!”

"The rancid water on Mr. Hanzo's body smells exactly like the reservoir where Tatsuhiko's body was found!"

Tokubei Rokuro seemed to have remembered the details of that year and immediately said in horror.

"The reservoir became so dirty and smelly because people dumped garbage in it."

“The villagers even gave it a name.”

"The hell swamp where kappa live!" Nohira Bosuke talked about another rumor in the village.

"It's so evil, is the murderer really a kappa?!" Xiaolan was both afraid of this and yet easily believed it.

"No, that won't happen." A Zi patted her shoulder and said with a smile.

She had actually been wondering whether Xiaolan had seen the kappa last night...

The kappa that crawled out of the Hell Swamp killed the innkeeper who had been watching the riverbank...

"If there were, it would have been discovered long ago."

Ashan was quite serious today. He took out his phone and started contacting the forensic department to investigate the reservoir to see if there was any difference between the water in the reservoir and the water that drowned the hotel owner.

"Officer Yamamura, it's best to check everyone's luggage. The murderer wouldn't just run to the reservoir with a bucket to fill it with water and then run back. He must need some kind of container."

Conan looked up and reminded Officer Yamamura.

"That's right. This kind of rotten water smells so bad. If it is not sealed in a container, it will probably be discovered immediately." Uncle Maori nodded.

"..." Toruko looked at Conan, then at Mr. Maori, and always felt a little strange.

"You're right, Conan, you're really smart!" Sugiyama sincerely praised the elementary school student's brain.

I haven't started to think about these things yet, and I'm still wondering about the meaning of the shoes.

The left shoe was clearly not found that year, so how come it suddenly appeared eleven years later?
"Hehehe..." Conan smiled back.

Many things are difficult to investigate clearly before catching the suspect...

"Don't Kappa eat cucumbers?" Lin Feng asked Amuro curiously.

"From a certain period of time, the image of Kappa has undergone a huge change, from a monster that people fear to a kind monster that knows how to repay kindness."

"Whether it is an existence that eats cucumbers or children, no one knows, just like some people." Touzi shook her head and said with a smile.

"Who are you referring to as certain people?" Lin Feng glanced at his cook.

Don’t go out and talk nonsense, or I’ll deduct your salary.

Have you been reading too much gossip about those congressmen recently?

"I've watched a few movies recently, and I'm talking about the characters in them." Touzi explained.

"In short, the stairs leading to the attic are right next to the bathroom on the second floor. Anyone could use the excuse of going to the bathroom to sneak up the stairs and kill the boss."

Uncle Maori took the lead and walked down the attic, looking at the bathroom next to him and said.

The next step was to see who had the conditions and tools to move the water from the reservoir. "Yamamura, what is the estimated time of death of the victim?" Uncle Maori called out to Officer Yamamura who was still standing on the stairs.

"Yes!"

"It should be between six and seven this morning!" Officer Yamamura hurried down the stairs and stood in front of Uncle Maori to report.

"Okay, check the alibis of everyone in the hotel right away. I'm going to check on everyone living here to see if there are any suspicious containers in the rooms!"

Uncle Maori turned his head and looked at the three people behind him and gave the order.

"Yes!"

Officer Yamamura straightened his body, saluted, then touched his head before reacting.

It seems like it's my job to give orders.

After all, it was not easy to become a police inspector...

The investigation began immediately, and the first person to be questioned was Tokubi Rokuro.

“These are probably the sealed containers that can hold water.”

"The big paint bottle is 60 milliliters, and the small bottle is 15 milliliters. However, these bottles are all filled with paint."

As a painter, Tokubei Rokuro placed all his personal belongings on the table. There were many bottles of paint and a graduated bottle for diluting the paint with water.

"This water bottle is empty, but it's unlikely that one hundred milliliters of water can drown a person." Uncle Maori picked up the empty water bottle on the table, unscrewed it, took a look and said.

"I guess it can only quench people's thirst..." said Tokubei Rokuro with a smile.

"Could there be other containers hidden here?" asked Officer Yamamura with a suspicious look.

"I don't think so. Yesterday, when Mr. Debei and Mr. Huangyan were worshipping by the river, he accidentally fell into the river. It seems that he only brought these luggages."

Xiaolan said.

They saw this scene with their own eyes yesterday. When the other party checked the luggage, there were indeed no other containers.

"I don't think there's any point in checking these things." Lin Feng said, and opened the window to get some fresh air.

"Huh?" Officer Yamamura turned his head.

Investigating the sealed container is a very important step.

"There are so many containers that can hold water and are easy to handle." Lin Feng explained.

"That's right. For example, food bags and balloons are strong enough and can change their shape. If the clothes are a little loose, it is not difficult to bring them into the hotel quietly." Toruko continued.

One to two liters of water is enough to drown a person, which is different from drinking water.

When it comes to this kind of thing, whether you burn it with a lighter or flush it down the toilet, it's much simpler than using weird props.

Uncle Maori and Conan were both stunned when they heard this.

"Yeah!" Sugiyama showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Suddenly I feel that these two disciples are more reliable than Mr. Maori!

"This……"

Officer Yamamura scratched his head and felt that there was some truth in his answer. He then asked Tokubei Rokuro, "When the crime happened, between 6 and 7 this morning, where were you and what were you doing?"

"I was sleeping in the room until the hotel staff came over and said breakfast was ready, then I got up and prepared to go out," said Tokubei Rokuro.

"Generally speaking..."

"It's hard to sleep after killing someone, right?" (End of this chapter)
