Along the way.
Kyogoku is really struggling with the conflict between 'should I go or not' and 'what should I say if I go?'
But soon, he noticed something wrong with the direction the two were traveling.
Although he didn't know the specific location of Fukito Villa, it couldn't be on the way down the mountain anyway... Thinking about it, Kyogoku couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Ye, where are we going?"
"Confirm whether there is an avalanche." Ye Gengyi said: "Yuanzi and the others came out to look for someone before."
"What?!"
Kyogoku's eyes narrowed and he stopped thinking randomly.
If Ye Geng hadn't grabbed him quickly with one hand, the super Sailor might have started running wildly: "Don't worry, if you go missing, I'll have to look for you with them later."
"But! It's very dangerous in the mountains, and there are people hunting!" Kyogoku said anxiously, "Someone pointed a gun at me before."
"The gunshot was fired half an hour ago." Ye Gengyi reminded.
His meaning was very clear. Even if he hit someone, he would probably be cold by now.
...
"What?! The avalanche really blocked the tunnel going down the mountain?"
Chuidu Villa.
Lobby.
Mouri Kogoro finished calling the police and confirmed that the bearded Yuzo Shumi was not lying.
In an instant, everyone felt an uneasy feeling.
"Brother Gengyi hasn't come back yet?"
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked out the window with worried faces.
One person died and one is missing.
It really reflects that sentence...Bloody Valentine's Day.
"It's okay. Brother Gengyi will definitely be fine!"
Although Conan didn't have much confidence in his heart, in the current situation, in addition to being comforted, he could only find the murderer first to prevent the next victim from appearing in the villa.
Clues are limited.
Simply, the deceased’s camera and video camera were not lost.
Fukawa Minato, who has photography experience, took the negatives to develop the photos.
The rest of the people stayed in the living room and watched the videotape.
"What, it's just some ordinary recording clips."
Mouri Kogoro watched the video at four times speed and found no useful clues.
"However, at least we already know the time when Ergaki was killed."
At this time, Minokawa Fenikawa walked in with a stack of developed photos.
"Look at these shadows, they must be blood splattered on the camera when you were beaten..."
"This is...a photo taken during the day?" Mouri Kogoro took it.
After confirming that only the last one had these traces, he immediately looked at the proprietress of the villa, the bearded Yuzo Shuami, and Hiro Itakura wearing black flat-rimmed glasses:
"The murderer is most likely the three of you who were not at the villa at that time."
"Hey! Don't talk nonsense!"
The bearded man said dissatisfiedly:
"You forgot, there was a piece of chocolate next to the deceased! Wasn't it made in the evening? The snowstorm had already started at that time. How could there be a fool who deliberately killed someone in the daytime and then rushed there on purpose? Drop a piece of chocolate?”
"No, maybe there are," the landlady said seriously, "Besides us, there might be other people in this mountain..."
"There...are there other people?" Mao Lilan was startled, "Could it be referring to the Snow Girl?"
"By the way," Itakura Hajime suddenly said: "On the way to the villa, I met a very strange guy... He was wearing a black knitted hat and was very tall. I originally thought he was a bear. I almost got shot."
Black... knitted hat...
Conan's expression was serious, and he subconsciously thought of Akai Shuichi.
During the bus incident, Haiyuan once said that there were organized people on the bus. Could it be that... those guys really had doubts about me, so they followed me here specifically to investigate my uncle and me? !
"Well, please, can you describe that person's appearance?" Mao Lilan was a little nervous and uneasy, "Maybe it's someone I know..."
"I didn't see clearly, but judging from the body shape, it must be a man," Itakura Hajime said: "After all, he is wearing goggles, and the scarf also covers most of his face."
"Oh...that's it." Mao Lilan felt a little disappointed.
Her abnormal behavior immediately attracted Conan's attention.
Does Xiaolan know him? How is it possible, when exactly?
Could it be that the black organization had already begun to contact people in the office without my knowledge?
Wait a minute... If Brother Gengyi disappeared because he met that guy.
hateful!
"Could that person be Natsuya?"
Suddenly, Fenchuan Minguo's voice was high-pitched, and he seemed to be in a daze as he muttered:
"It must be him, it must be Xia Ye, he is indeed still alive...I, I will go find him right now."
With that said, she went out without looking back.
Ganliazi quickly stopped her.
? ? ?
Conan's head was filled with questions. Xia Ye? Who is that...
But before he could ask this time, Ganliazi told him about his brother's disappearance four years ago.
A person who is suspected to have died four years ago is unlikely to reappear anyway.
Seeing this, Shumi Yuzo and Itakura Hajime also seized the opportunity and directly pinned the charge of murdering Futagaki Yoshiki on the man wearing a black knitted hat.
"Although these two guys are very suspicious, what they said is correct," Mouri Kogoro looked at the backs of the two walking back to the room and said, "After all, that piece of chocolate is the irrefutable proof."
"But, was Eryuan really killed during the day?"
Conan asked: "Because the film will be automatically rolled to the end after taking it, so is it possible that the film was put into the camera later?"
"What's wrong, kid?" Mouri Kogoro raised his eyebrows, "Do you suspect that the photo was taken yesterday?"
"In that case, why don't you put all the photos on the negative together and compare them?" Minokawa suggested, "I've developed them all anyway."
Mouri Kogoro took the thick stack of photos.
Then through video recording and comparing the clothing of several people two days before and after, it was found that the situation Conan suspected did not exist.
Ganliazi explained: "Little brother, after we came to this villa yesterday, we never went out alone until Eryuan was killed today."
"So, the only possibility is that he took that photo himself." Fengchuan said.
"There is another possibility, that is to create an alibi," Mouri Kogoro turned to look at Minika Fenikawa and said, "You did something wrong when developing the film..."
"Hey," Fukawa Minoko retorted: "When the photos were developed, your daughter was always by my side. You can ask her if I did this!"
"No," Mao Lilan said immediately: "Sister Fenchuan didn't do anything strange, and she even wore gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints, but..."
She hesitated for a moment, then continued: "If there's anything strange about it, it's probably the two dark photos."
"Dark...photo?"
Mouri Kogoro and Conan quickly looked over.
"There are strange black spots in the first two pictures. They are all black. It seems like nothing was captured." Mao Lilan said.
"Miss Fenikawa, what's going on?" Mouri Kogoro said with a serious face.
"Maybe the lens was blocked by something when I pressed the shutter button..."
Fengawa Minguo hasn't finished speaking yet.
Suddenly, he was interrupted by a biting chill and a calm voice, saying: "Or maybe the murderer deliberately left a negative to prove his alibi."
"One more..."
"Brother Gengyi!"
Conan trotted over and approached with a serious expression: "You... didn't meet anyone, right?"
"Who are you talking about?" Ye Gengyi closed the door.
"Hei... uh, no, as long as you're fine!" Conan hesitated for a moment and decided not to talk about this matter in front of Xiaolan.
"Is everything okay?" Ye Gengyi seemed to sigh and said, "It's still okay."
Sighing?
Conan suddenly became alert: "What? Brother Gengyi, what's wrong with you?"
"Cold." Ye Gengyi said.
Everyone: "..."
It's quite cold...
