Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

"Generally speaking..."

"It's hard to sleep after killing someone, right?"

Lin Feng faced the window and said without turning his head.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

What does that have to do with anything? Just say that he is the murderer.

"What are you talking about? I slept until breakfast time!" After being stunned, Debei Liulang quickly explained.

"If the murderer used the method you described to transport water, then anyone could have committed the crime."

"An alibi is particularly important."

Uncle Maori still felt that he should listen to the testimony of the hotel staff first.

Between six and seven o'clock, three hotel staff members were in the kitchen preparing breakfast. There should be nothing wrong with them, and their testimony is credible.

Touko frowned as she looked at Mr. Debei and the various items he carried with him, wondering if the store manager had really seen any flaws.

Conan, who was standing next to him, had the same expression as him and was completely confused.

"Did you figure out something?" Seeing that Officer Yamamura was still asking questions, Sugiyama walked to the window and asked Lin Feng in a low voice.

Could this teacher who came specially to pay tribute to his student be the murderer?

"No……"

"I only know that the murderer doesn't seem to be very smart." Lin Feng said, sticking his head out of the window and looking at the small river in the forest in the distance.

The scenery of this place is quite good.

"By the way, I heard from Miss Maori this morning that she saw a kappa last night. Is that true?" asked Tokubei Rokuro.

"Yesterday during the day, my phone fell near the river, and we went to look for it together in the evening."

"The result is finally revealed, the real Kappa!" Xiaolan still feels terrified when she thinks back to the black shadow.

“It’s the kind with a turtle shell on its back and a pointy face, right?” A Zi gestured and felt equally scared.

Sure enough, the legends are not groundless!
"Yes, yes, it seems to have a tail, and the top of the head is flat."

Xiaolan nodded repeatedly, and judging from her expression, she didn't seem to be lying.

"Could it be that the murderer disguised himself as a kappa and killed the inn owner who had been monitoring the river?" Sugiyama turned his head and asked several people.

In his heart, he didn't quite believe that there was such a thing as a kappa.

"It's very possible." Uncle Maori nodded.

There is a very important question, why must the innkeeper who was watching over the river be killed?

Could it be that he discovered someone's secret with the telescope?
The motive for the murder feels unclear.

And who sent the letter of authorization to the firm?
"How about this, I can help you draw what you saw last night." Tokubei Rokuro offered to help.

He is a painter after all, so painting this kind of thing is a piece of cake for him.

In the end, Xiaolan and A Zi stayed in the room, waiting for Teacher Debei to finish painting, and everyone went to the next person's room.

"You are a local, so you should be familiar with the kid named Tatsuhiko and his father, right?" Touko asked Araiwa Ikki when she saw Officer Yamamura checking his personal belongings.

"Fortunately, we are in the same class and often play together." Araiwa Ikki nodded and said.

"Are there any doubts about what happened to Chen Yan eleven years ago?"

"I mean, is it possible that someone gave him..." Touko felt that this classmate and good friend in front of her must know more than Officer Yamamura.

"It rained heavily that day, the river water swollen and the current was fast. I'm sure it was an accident." Ikki Araiwa shook his head, indicating that there was nothing unusual.

"Are Mr. Tokubei and Tatsuhiko very close?" Conan asked from the side.

"..."Touzi glanced at the elementary school student with an innocent tone.

I really wanted to ask this question.

"Well, it's been eleven years. Every year on his death anniversary, the teacher would go to the riverside to burn incense for Tatsuhiko like me." Araiwa Ikki said with emotion.

The primary school at that time has been abandoned, but Teacher Debei has not forgotten that student.

"What about Mr. Hanzo? He was monitoring the river because..."

Before Conan finished his question, Araiwa Ikki nodded immediately: "Of course, he definitely doesn't want the tragedy to happen again."

"Besides this, there is no other explanation, right?"

"Mr. Huangyan, where were you and what were you doing between six and seven this morning?" After taking a quick look at the other party's personal belongings, Officer Yamamura asked about his alibi.

"I got up around 6:30 and took a shower. I was the only one in the room." Araiwa Ikki also had no witnesses who could help testify.

"Well, what is this?" asked Officer Yamamura, picking up an object that looked suspicious.

"This is a water pillow. It can expand into a pillow by filling it with water. I can't sleep without this pillow." Ikki Araiwa explained with a smile.

"Water pillow, that's not impossible." The village police officer unscrewed the bottle cap responsible for the water flow in and out, and said after smelling the smell.

If we had brought in the water ahead of time, poured out the water from the reservoir this morning, and then rinsed it clean after killing the person, wouldn't that be possible without anyone noticing?

"We took a look at this water pillow yesterday and it was indeed empty of water," said Uncle Maori.

Yesterday at the riverside, Huangyan and Debei both fell into the river. The luggage was being checked at the time, and the three of them saw this scene.

"We can't rule out the possibility that he secretly ran out to get water." The Shancun police officer was going to take the water pillow away and have someone do some testing on it.

"I don't know why, but I don't think this guy is the murderer." Sugiyama whispered to the repairman.

"That's because you two look similar..." Lin Feng said after taking a glance at their body shapes.

There are always all kinds of strange trust relationships established between people.

"People who can eat are good people!" Sugiyama said with a smile, patting his belly.

"I agree with this." Lin Feng leaned against the wall and nodded in agreement.

This is the trust relationship between fellow foodies...

"..."

Conan, who heard the conversation between the two, had a speechless expression on his face.

These two are enough...

The next person to be questioned was Nohei Bosuke, a middle-aged man with a ramen-like hairstyle.

"Camera, tripod, recorder, and laptop. You said before that you are a reporter, right?" Officer Yamamura asked while holding a notebook to take notes.

There is nothing wrong with these equipments.

"Yes, I am now tracking the monster legends circulating in various places." Nobira Bosuke nodded.

"Can you tell me more about the Kappa in this village?" (End of this chapter)
