Want to remind her?

But Miss Hezhi herself has nothing to do with the organization, and Vermouth cannot find out anything. If he were to remind her, it would have the opposite effect.

How about talking to Huiyuan about this? Isn't she close to that idol? When she goes to Miss Hezhi's house to play, let her check if there are any bugs in her house...

Conan looked at Haibara Ai while thinking, and was frightened by Haibara Ai's dark face.

what's the situation?

Chapter 472 Holy Land Parade

Conan thought hard, "Oh, you're a fan of Ms. Hezhi, so you've also seen this movie and wanted to take pictures at the filming location... but you didn't bring a camera?"

Huihara Ai crossed her arms and walked past a pair of her best friends with a blank expression, heading towards the hotel. "What movie? I don't know. I haven't seen it."

The pair of best friends behind her were grinning, one lying on the ground and the other kneeling beside her, "This is the spot! He Zhi and Chris, ahhh, they really drive me crazy! Isn't plant control and animal control a perfect match?"

"indeed!"

The two of them smiled and asked Mao Lilan to help take pictures of them with her mobile phone. Mao Lilan was obviously impressed by this famous scene. She easily adjusted the angle and even corrected their postures. "Look at each other. Miss Hezhi, please don't smile. Be a little colder and fiercer - that's it."

"One, two, three...Eggplant~"

After looking at the photos taken by Mao Lilan, the two girls were very satisfied. "Thank you, your photos are really great! We have successfully checked in at one of the most desired photo locations during the Holy Land Tour!"

Conan clearly saw the raging flames of anger rising from behind Haibara Ai.

Yes, yes...it seems that Haibara is the only fan of Miss Hezhi?

The last time Miss He Zhi went out to play with her good friends from her previous group and was photographed by a gossip magazine and the photos were published in the newspaper. She also stared at the newspaper page in the same fierce way, with an expression as if she wanted to kill someone.

At this time, it’s better not to mess with her.

Conan grinned, squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, and walked towards the hotel.

"What? The hotel won't accept guests these days?!"

The kids from the Junior Detective League looked at the inn owner with disappointment.

No. 25 sat at the front desk with a calm face, and skillfully ignored all the looks and flashes cast at him. "Yes, although I called you many times and couldn't get through, I also sent you text messages and letters, and also put the room booking fee in the envelope to refund you... Didn't you receive it?"

Dr. Agasa blinked and said, "Oh, ah... I really haven't cleaned out my inbox in a week."

Conan chuckled, "The phone too, you put it aside again and forgot to put it away, right?"

Ayumi stood on tiptoe and leaned on the front desk, looking up at No. 25 pitifully, "Why don't you receive guests?"

Mitsuhiko recalled the plot he had read in the novel, and his face suddenly became serious. "Is it because the film crew is shooting a popular movie here, so the price is going to increase?"

Seeing the little guys' condemning eyes, No. 25 laughed and spread his hands, "In fact, we won't entertain any guests in the past month, because there are too many tourists touring the holy land. From day to night, the guests simply can't sleep well in the hotel."

"So we just opened the hotel to the public, and guests can just drop a few coins into a box at the door and explore the place as they please... This is used as a cleaning fee for the hotel to come and clean the place after the craze is over."

He pointed to the big box at the door, and just then someone excitedly threw a coin in and walked into the hotel.

"This, this is it."

Mitsuhiko understood immediately and lowered his head in embarrassment to apologize, "Sorry, I misunderstood you..."

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were still well behaved. No. 25 was in a good mood and patted Mitsuhiko's head. "If you insist on staying to watch the stars, I can give it to you for free. If you can tolerate the constant footsteps and discussions coming from the unsoundproof window, many people walking around in the corridor, and some people poking their heads in to guess which character in the movie lives in this room.

talk? "

Mitsuhiko couldn't bear the thought. He glanced at the hotel owner who looked tired and experienced. "I don't think we have to watch the stars here?"

Ayumi also understood, but was a little disappointed, "But we drove for a long time to get here... I also want to discover a new star and name it after the Comet of the Beika Boy Detective Team--"

“Hahahaha, new stars are not so easy to discover.”

No. 25 laughed loudly. "I see the road is blocked again. It's not easy for you to leave now. How about watching a movie in the attic of the hotel?"

“Not many people visit the attic. Although it’s not suitable for sleeping, it’s still a quiet place. I put a sofa and a projector there, so you can watch the superpower doomsday there!”

Mao Lilan was surprised. "Watching Super Power Doomsday here? Super Power Doomsday has only been in theaters for a week, right? You can actually get a disc of the movie?"

"After all, I played a supporting role in the film," No. 25 blinked, "The director and the investor were very generous and gave me a copy of the disc."

"Then let's watch a movie here!"

Ayumi became happy again, "I haven't seen this movie yet! Mom and Dad never had the time to watch it with me!"

"Mitsuhiko Genta, Conan, and Professor Agasa haven't seen it either... Ai just said she hasn't seen it either, right?"

Huiyuan Ai resisted, "I don't think this is necessary--"

Ayumi's eyes sparkled, "Is it that Ai's sisters don't have time to take you to the movies? After all, Ai likes Sister Hezhi so much, she will definitely not miss any of her movies, right?"

"Well!"

Ai Haibara looked extremely conflicted, but Ayumi happily pulled her wrist and led her up to the attic. "Well, let's put it this way. I'll ask Sister Xiaolan to watch it with us for the second time!"

"That's no problem. This movie is pretty good. I've always wanted to watch it again."

Mao Lilan looked at Ayumi's actions with a little surprise, squatted down and leaned close to Conan's ear, whispering: "This child, when she grows up, she will be really amazing... her emotional intelligence is very high."

Conan nodded with deep feeling. Not only in the future, but now no one can refuse Ayumi.

The plot of the movie is quite dense, and it is indeed a very interesting movie, but the latter part is not as fun as the beginning.

Yes, for a big star like Vermouth, how could she be allowed to play a role that would damage her image?

She even appeared in the middle part of the film when the discussion of survival became serious, and it did not damage her image at all.

Conan sighed and his ears moved suddenly.

Someone is shouting outside the window. What is he shouting? What skeleton? What corpse?

This isn't much more interesting than the movie!

Conan stood on tiptoe and tried to sneak away, but was picked up by Ran Mouri with one hand.

She smiled kindly, "Conan, where are you going now?"

Conan was very scared, "I'm tired of sitting, let's move around, move around...hahaha..."

Chapter 473 No Suspect's Death Message

While the children were engrossed in the movie, Conan and Mao Lilan sneaked out of the attic quietly.

Haibara Ai, who had been watching the movie in a Schrodinger's way, noticed their sneaky figures, but since she didn't hear any discussions outside the window, she assumed that the two of them wanted to shake off a bunch of little tails and go to the mountains to watch the stars and the moon by themselves, and she was too lazy to remind the three little ones.

They ran toward the source of the commotion they had seen from the attic, deep in the forest to the right of the inn.

"Could this be some movie prop?"

When they arrived, there was a tourist holding a skull in his hand. He looked left and right and said, "It must have fallen from the hill in some accident. I don't know how long it would take for a corpse to turn into bones. There's no need to make a fuss!"

The tourist was showing off what he had learned from the popular science channel, but a solemn female voice came from behind him, "No, this is murder... and it is very cruel."

The tourists looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw Mao Li Ran open her eyes wide, then lower them, chuckled twice, and had an expression that said, "I knew it would be like this again."

"Why do you say that?"

The tourist frowned, looking somewhat unconvinced, but he still honestly put the skull back on the ground.

Mao Lilan put her hands behind her back, and after being poked by Conan, her mouth opened and closed mechanically, "See, the gray powder scattered around the corpse that doesn't blend in with the surrounding soil... That's lime."

lime……

Mao Lilan remembered that she had learned knowledge related to lime in the chemistry class in her first year of high school, but chemistry was so painful to learn that she had completely forgotten the chemical formulas of quicklime and slaked lime. She only remembered that quicklime becomes slaked lime by adding water.

The palm of her hand was poked again, and Mao Lilan opened her mouth skillfully and continued to babble: "Lime has the property of releasing heat after absorbing water. If lime is sprinkled on and around the corpse, it will be heated by rainwater, which will speed up the decay of the corpse and turn it into bones in a short time!"

The tourist's face changed drastically. "In other words... could it be that this person died in the past two days?"

Humans are a little weird.

If it's a few years

Although it may seem offensive to touch the skull of someone who died decades ago, there won't be much psychological barrier (unless it's stuck in a tomb). But if you touch the skull of someone who died within a few weeks or days, you'll feel like "oh, I'm dirty" and want to chop off your hands.

The tourist who was holding the skull and smiling just now turned green in the face, and ran towards the hotel waving his hands, looking like he wanted to brush his hands eighteen times.

It looked quite funny, but Conan didn't want to look at it. He walked around the skeleton with a serious expression and looked around, only to see scattered mandibles, upper arm bones, thigh bones, spines... and a bunch of messy footprints.

There are just too many people.

There are so many tourists who come to the top of the mountain to tour the holy land. They walk around everywhere, kicking and trampling all the traces and evidence into a mess, making it impossible to know where to start... How can this case be solved?

Conan turned around again and again, "It's been more than a week since the movie was released, and so many tourists come into the forest to take pictures every day. Why did they only discover it today?"

Yes, I also want to ask, why did you find the body only when you arrived?

After hearing the tourist yelling that he had to wash his hands after touching the skull, No. 25 remembered that he still had a scene to perform. He looked at the thoughtful Conan expressionlessly: I beg you to have some idea, right?

Conan touched his chin and acted like a curious child, "Uncle Manager, have you ever seen this skull when you were filming a movie?"

"No," No. 25 was very sure, "If someone had seen this kind of thing, they would have told the director to prevent any accidents. I haven't heard the director say that this kind of thing has happened."

Conan continued to inquire, "I heard that the crew usually clears the area in advance when filming in the forest to prevent any wild animals or poisonous snakes in the forest?"

“It seems so. I don’t pay much attention to this aspect. I just played a cameo role because the hotel was provided as the filming location.” No. 25 waved his hand.

The main thing is that the plot has been messed up by a movie, and with so many tourists here, it’s impossible to act according to the script.

If that's the case, then could it be that the murder happened during the period between the end of filming and the release of the movie?

That's not right. I heard from Xiaolan that because of Chris's fans, the film review process was given the green light and they cut in line like crazy. They were submitted for review on the first day and then released in major theaters on the second day.

In total, it only took one week to edit the film. During this week, the news that the crew was filming here spread, and many people came to visit. With so many people and eyes, it was impossible to cover up the murder with lime.

"Has anyone gone missing recently?" Conan asked.

"No recently, but there seemed to be one a year ago. I don't know if it can be considered missing..."

The criminal in this case is not his classmate, so he cannot commit suicide to enforce justice, so No. 25 still hopes that Conan can solve the case.

"That person is my junior classmate, named Ma Xiong. He and his fiancée used to stay at my place, but after they had a big fight a year ago, my junior classmate has disappeared and has not contacted me since."

Speaking of this, No. 25 wants to sigh.

Ma Xiong and his girlfriend are truly in love. One wanted to name an asteroid he discovered after himself and his girlfriend, but was killed by a scumbag who was greedy for fame. The other has been drinking every day since his fiancé disappeared a year ago, but his love for him has not changed.

If he had come to the Conan world a year ago, he could have helped, but after he came to the Conan world, Maao had already been killed, so it's a pity.

It's always like this in the Conan world, the good guys and the handsome guys and beautiful girls either go to jail or die.

"fiancée?"

Conan was startled and ran to the ground where the skeleton's finger bones were, and when he found nothing, he moved his gaze to the stone next to the corpse.

After lifting the stone, I saw a ring... and a cigarette box underneath?

The words "Etsuko to Maao" were written on the inside of the ring, and it seemed that the deceased was indeed the junior of the hotel manager.

He did not touch the ring, but picked up the cigarette box with his handkerchief, shook it down, and six cigarettes fell out, four long and two short.

"Death... message?" Conan narrowed his eyes.

No. 25 touched his chin. Since he did not follow the plot and invite the suspects to the hotel, would Conan be unable to find the criminal facing the death message? Or should he send out invitations now?

...It's definitely too late.

Chapter 474 Enhanced Conan Has No Conscience

Will the lack of a suspect hinder Conan's reasoning?

——He reasoned faster.

Conan asked No. 25 for the hotel check-in record of Ma Xiong before his death. He took a quick glance and directly found the murderer's name. He used cigarette butts to spell out the pronunciation of the murderer's last name.

Then he immediately called the police and persuaded the police to ambush in the house in the name of the famous detective Mouri Ran. He sent invitations in the name of the deceased Maao to all the guests who stayed in the hotel before Maao's death. When they all showed up for the appointments the next day, he asked the police to search their backpacks in the name of finding a corpse nearby.

Among the three people who were invited, only the murderer knew that Ma Xiong was dead, so it was impossible for him to send them an invitation. Someone must have discovered something and wanted to find out the truth.

In order to silence the witness, the murderer brought a long-barreled shotgun.

Even if you have a gun license, you can't use a hunting rifle to hunt.

The murderer was caught red-handed and was taken by the police to the bottom of the big rock to see the key and his last name that Conan had specially arranged with the six cigarettes. After being misled by Conan that this was the original death message, he directly confessed his guilt.

"Because there is only one type of fingerprint on the ring and the cigarette box, the murderer must not have opened the stone to see the death message of the deceased. After being found with a shotgun and seeing the death message, it is natural that his defenses were broken and he confessed."

Mao Lilan explained to the police with a gentle smile, and the case was solved without any thrills.

Although the procedure was a bit irregular, a death message is still a death message. It was just displayed, not forged or destroyed.

Solving a case, especially such a difficult-to-solve murder case, is also an achievement for the criminal police who came to handle the case. The criminal police are very happy to use their brains and make some adjustments when writing the case report summary.
