"Then according to your analysis, there should not be three suspects, but four." Ye Gengyi said.
Hattori Heiji was startled: "Four?"
Ye Geng nodded and spoke with data: "The time Ying Zhengzo left the Japanese room was 8:15. Before 9:00, the people who left the room and went to the bathroom were Monk Ryuyuen at 8:22, Monk Ryuyuen at 8:23 Taiga Saijo, as well as Harutaro Mizuo and Suzu Chika who accompanied him at 8:37.”
Hattori Heiji was a little hesitant, "I'm worried that the guests will get drunk and then accompany them to the bathroom. Maiko seems to do this..."
Conan couldn't help but answered: "But she didn't go with Mr. Ryuumao and Mr. Saijo."
"That's because Miss Chika Suzu was playing cards with that big tree at the time," Hattori Heiji defended again: "The murderer probably took advantage of the break in going to the bathroom to kill Mr. Sakura. Seriously. If so, Mr. Ryuumaon and Mr. Saijo will be more suspicious, right?"
Hattori, you...
Conan was startled, then half-mooned his eyes, "Could it be that, Brother Heiji, you are really interested in Miss Chiga Suzu?"
"Bai... Idiot, how could I..." Hattori Heiji was a little nervous. As he spoke, his right hand in his pocket subconsciously grasped the painting.
"Is she your first love?" Ye Gengyi didn't hide it and asked directly if he had anything to say.
"I'm not very sure, and at first I thought..."
Hattori Heiji was a little embarrassed, "Oh, anyway, I feel like she looks very similar to the girl in my memory!"
Even between the eyebrows...
Can you see this?
To be honest, for a moment, Ye Gengyi didn't know whether to admit that he was face-blind or lament that the world was too crazy...
If you can confirm it just by looking alike, then your first girlfriend may have been all over Kyoto... Ye Gengyi shrugged and said casually: "Okay, let's rule out the suspicion of Chika Suzu and Mizuo Harutaro first. The murderer can be judged between Monk Ryuen and Taiga Saijo."
Hey hey, this is too casual!
Conan was shocked. With the video as evidence, he didn't dare to offend Ye Gengyi, so he had to glare at a black man.
Hattori Heiji received the look and smiled dryly: "If Miss Chika Suzu is really an accomplice, then I will never show favoritism. However, our top priority now is to seize the time to investigate the cause of Mr. Sakura's death. ...Conan, you got the key, right?"
"Well..." Conan nodded, "I'm more concerned about the things that Mr. Sakura and the murderer are looking for, and Brother Geng also said that Mr. Sakura didn't have a mobile phone with him. Maybe he has one in his antique shop. clue."
"Then let's..."
"Well, you go ahead."
Ye Geng waved his hand, showing no intention of accompanying him.
Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other and thought there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.
After a body search.
Since Hattori Heiji's excuse was to take the kid to get cold medicine, Ayanokouji didn't feel too embarrassed.
Inside the tea house.
The progress of the police investigation and evidence collection was not smooth.
Because apart from the murder weapon, there was no physical evidence that could indirectly represent the identity of the murderer.
Therefore, under the premise of Kogoro Mouri that 'did the murderer have escaped', Officer Ayanokouji could not bear the pressure and had to let a few people go first.
When the five of them returned to Sanno Temple, Hattori Heiji and Conan were already waiting in the lounge.
The two parties exchanged information with each other.
Hattori Heiji recounted what happened when he found the "Yoshitsune" in an antique shop, as well as the name "Ise Saburo" signed on the title page of the book, and the photocopy of the coded letter inside.
After a while, the voice of Mouri Kogoro exclaimed in the room:
"What?! Shozo Sakura is actually a member of Hotaru Genji?"
Hattori Heiji said: "Yeah, I was suspicious after seeing him killed, but it's still strange. Counting him, 6 people have died, so... who is killing that group of thieves one after another? Where are the members?”
"Could it be for the Buddha statue?" Yuan Shan and Ye guessed.
"Well, I think so too..."
As Hattori Heiji spoke, he took out the photocopy from his arms and said: "What the murderer found on Mr. Sakura must be the original copy of the code. However, he never expected that Mr. Sakura also left a backup and a copy of his code at home. The Yoshitsune of Identity.”
"Huh? But why is this paper wrinkled?"
Yuan Shan and Ye looked at the photocopy on the table and were about to pick it up and observe it.
Eh? Oops, I took the wrong one, this is the one painted by Brother Geng!
Hattori Heiji had quick eyesight and quick hands. He snatched it away and put it back into his pocket. He said in a panic: "Don't... don't touch it. What if you damage the physical evidence?"
"I'm not as clumsy as you say..."
Yuan Shan and Ye snorted in dissatisfaction and said angrily: "So, who is the murderer?"
Hattori Heiji glanced towards the shoji and lowered his voice: "I think it's one of Mr. Ryuumao, Mr. Saijo, Mr. Mizuo and Miss Chiga Suzu!"
"Haven't the last two people been eliminated as suspects?" Ye Gengyi asked inappropriately.
"Huh? Why is this?" Mao Lilan asked curiously: "No murder weapon was found on anyone?"
"Oh, because Heiji is right..."
"No no!"
Hattori Heiji interrupted Ye Gengyi's next words and said quickly: "Because the murderer is unlikely to be someone from outside, all four of them are suspected! As for the murder weapon, even if it is not found in the tea house, it is very likely to be found. The murderer threw him through the window into the Kamogawa River."
"Right! I think so too!"
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly raised her voice and said: "While I was admiring the scenery on the terrace, I heard a 'plop'. It was obvious that something was thrown into the river."
"Really, what time was that?" Hattori Heiji asked.
"I don't remember this..." Suzuki Sonoko recalled: "Moreover, the police also said that they did not find anything suspected to be a murder weapon in Kamogawa."
"Brother Genichi, did you hear anything at that time?" Hattori Heiji quickly asked for confirmation.
"No." Ye Gengyi shook his head slightly.
He was concentrating on checking the data at the time, so he naturally adjusted the hidden earphones to the 'Do Not Disturb' mode. If he had to hear something irrelevant falling into the water more than ten meters away, it would be better to just go to the terrace to Shang Jing.
"I see...it seems very likely that the murderer has an accomplice."
Hattori Heiji muttered, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should be worried about the increase in the number of suspects, or whether he should be happy that the accomplice was outside the house, reducing Chika Suzu's suspicion.
"I know! The murderer must be someone from outside. When Xiaolan and the others went to the terrace, he sneaked into the warehouse through the small window, and then waited until Mr. Ying went to find something and killed him!"
Mouri Kogoro said with great certainty: "Then he took the murder weapon and escaped through the small window."
"But, there are no witnesses, and Sister Xiaolan didn't hear any other strange noises. How can we explain it?" Conan asked with half-moon eyes.
"It was just a coincidence. The murderer just got lucky."
The tension relaxed, and Mouri Kogoro got drunk again. He couldn't help but yawned, "Okay, anyway, let's investigate the rest tomorrow. It's already so late, so let's go and get some rest."
