In such a huge hotel, no one noticed who came out of the bathroom?
The junior high school student version of Kudo Shinichi frowned, feeling that things had reached a deadlock.
He is not yet the experienced detective he will be in the future. Although his knowledge base is quite good due to his father's influence, his experience in solving crimes is far from enough.
"Shinichi, why don't you call and ask Uncle Yuzuo." Mao Lilan came closer, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and suggested in his ear.
Looking at Shinichi, who was frowning, she felt her heart tighten, and there was a feeling that she didn't know how to describe, swirling in her heart.
If you are a precocious person, you will probably know this feeling. But our Mao Lilan is still a standard junior high school student, so we only feel a little unspeakably uncomfortable.
Faced with Qingmei's kind suggestion, Kudo Shinichi curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "Idiot, if I go to him for help whenever I encounter a problem, how can I become the Sherlock Holmes of the new era!"
As we all know, Kudo Shinichi’s dream is to become the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei, crossed out, Reiwa era.
However, it is a pity that whether this dream can be realized in the end may have nothing to do with his personal efforts. In the end, it still depends on whether the contemporary Japanese emperor can survive until the day Detective Conan ends.
"Aren't you going to remind him?" Asakura looked at Toru Amuro, "It seems like that kid is at an impasse."
"..."
Toru Amuro glanced at him angrily, saying to himself that if you weren't here, I would have gone up and solved the case.
"Leave such a small matter to the police."
When he said this, his tone was filled with the disdain typical of an outlaw, and it seemed that he wanted to disguise the identity of the organization to the end.
"Then I'm going." Asakura took a step forward and whispered casually, "Watching life disappear before your eyes, it always feels... uncomfortable if you don't do something."
Hearing his words, Toru Amuro was stunned. These words actually came from the mouth of a member of a criminal organization full of crimes——
I'm afraid you're in the wrong profession, he looked at Asakura's back and said to himself silently.
Of course, even if Toru Amuro agrees with this sentence, it does not mean that he will enthusiastically solve the problem - if the person in front of you is testing, and his operation is discovered, it turns out that you actually have a heart under your black skin. Heart is a good person.
Don’t come to our organization for other reasons!
If his undercover career was cut off for this reason, he would have to vomit blood.
Back to the story——
Asakura walked through the crowd, stood at the door of the bathroom and looked in.
Kudo Shinichi saw his actions and wanted to speak out to remind him to protect the scene, but when he saw that he had no idea of going in, he kept his mouth shut.
The deceased was indeed the woman missing from Asakura Makoto's memory in the hotel. There was a man beside her at that time. Judging from their body language when they were sitting together, the identity of the two of them should be ex-lovers who had just broken up——
The woman wants to end it, and the man wants to keep it.
In the end, the two decided to find a deserted place for the final showdown.
After a low-pitched argument, the man who didn't get the answer he wanted was filled with anger and fear. He took advantage of the woman's back to him to look in the mirror.
He attacked her from behind in an instant.
He covered her mouth with his right hand to prevent the woman from shouting and alerting people outside, and kept tightening the elbow on her neck with his left hand.
In just a moment, the woman suffocated to death.
Asakura Zhen replayed the possible murder process in his mind...
At this moment, Kudo Shinichi came over and raised his head - he was still young, more than a head shorter than Asakura Makoto.
"Brother, have you discovered anything?" Facts have proved that men basically do not change much from childhood to adulthood. After Kudo Shinichi changed from a high school student back to an elementary school student, and after he perfectly integrated into the group of elementary school students, he used the current one Tone.
"Yep--"
Asakura Makoto elongated his tone. This is his character design. Brandy and Asakura Makoto are the same person with different personas. Brandy is brash and outgoing and full of bad taste, while Asakura Makoto is reserved, low-key and slightly disguised. sense of justice.
"It should be an acquaintance and impulse to commit the crime..."
Hearing this answer, Kudo Shin's eyes lit up, not because he was woken up, but because he found that the man in front of him actually wanted to go with him.
The hotel bathroom can only be used by one person at a time. If they are not acquaintances, the victim and the murderer will not share the same bathroom.
If an impulsive crime is committed, the hotel bathroom is not a good place to commit the crime - since they are all acquaintances, the murderer can choose a more suitable location, such as their respective homes, and go to the wild together.
"I've thought about this too!"
Kudo Shinichi naturally discovered such an obvious content, and he was now only one step away from finally identifying the murderer.
According to the eyewitness testimony of guests in the hotel, the deceased was indeed accompanied by a companion, but they did not notice the specific appearance of that person.
The guests who had some impressions talked about their superficial memories.
"I remember the one with long hair."
"Wearing a gray coat!"
"It's a man!"
In the end, their information was compiled and two men were selected who each met some of the conditions.
The man with long hair is standing on the left, wearing a dark blue coat, and the man with short hair is standing on the right, wearing a gray coat.
"oh?"
Asakura's true memory, of course, recognized the man sitting next to the deceased - but... his eyes fell on Cun Tou. Isn't this the man who looked like the public security contact who just met his eyes?
What a coincidence——
Asakura didn't know that the waiter in the store was the contact person for the police. The person in front of him was just a bait floating on the surface. When the members of the organization monitoring Toru Amuro became suspicious and stopped the person outside to search his whole body, They would find that there was nothing suspicious about him.
The police chose such a righteous-looking person to sit here for this purpose.
But this is not important. Asakura Ma doesn't pay attention to this at all. He already knows that Amuro Toru is an undercover agent, so there is no need to doubt his loyalty to the organization.
As for the contact person, the information obtained by Toru Amuro has been screened by Brandy. If it is revealed, it will be revealed. It doesn't matter.
Back to the topic——
Kudo Shinichi is now stuck in the last step of identifying the murderer. The two men each meet some of the clues given by the witnesses, but there are some shortcomings...
Of course, he was also sure in his heart that the man with long hair was the murderer, because among those clues, the clothes could be changed, but the hair could not be changed in a short time.
Anyone who has had a haircut knows that right after the haircut, there was a lot of fine hair on the head, which was prickly to the touch.
The neck and shoulders of the short-haired man were clean and there was no broken hair, indicating that his hair had been cut for a while.
So... this long-haired man whose clothes don't match the color is the only possible murderer.
However, here is the problem. Kudo Shinichi has no conclusive evidence. He can deduce who the prisoner is, but he cannot find enough conclusive evidence to make the prisoner confess...
Now, he doesn't have the ability to suddenly have a flash of inspiration and explain the ins and outs of the case clearly to the audience who are confused by just saying "I see".
After all, he is a junior high school student, so it is understandable that his abilities are insufficient.
"Who do you think it will be?" He looked at Asakura Makoto and asked tentatively.
"Of course -" Asakura raised his hand and pointed at the short-haired man, and then quickly changed direction the moment the long-haired man's eyes showed joy, "He!"
