Ye Gengyi ignored Hui Yuan Ai's lame excuse, but reached out and pulled her and Conan behind him, staring at the window:
"come out!"
"Shuula..."
The reception room window is open.
Mouri Kogoro, who looked drunk, suddenly stood up from under the wall: "Hey, did I scare you?"
"..."
Ye Gengyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the nanorobots flowing under the body gradually became silent, and he said hello in a calm tone:
"Mr. Mori, why are you here?"
"Everyone was spreading rumors that someone had discovered a shark in the sea, so after I finished my drink, I stopped by the hospital to take a look..."
While speaking, Mouri Kogoro was already putting his foot on the window frame and preparing to climb in, but he accidentally fell to the ground.
It turns out that she is worried about her daughter who is going diving...
Ye Gengyi read the subtext of this sentence and walked to the window. While supporting the tool man, he glanced at the grass outside the window.
After confirming that there was indeed a large area of indentation underneath the window, I suddenly understood what had just happened.
The feeling is that the famous detective did not come in directly when he came here, but rested on the grass for a while.
Therefore, when I adjusted the hidden headphones, I did not set the frequency of the noise in detail. As a result, at the previous moment, I mistakenly thought that some master was lurking in their very close range.
Well... after all, with current technology, there is no way to replace the entire cochlea with a purely mechanical structure. It cannot compare with the information provided by bone conduction, and there will be subtle errors, which is unavoidable.
"Ouch, it hurts... it hurts me to death. No, I have to be hospitalized..."
Mouri Kogoro continued to talk drunkenly, leaving Conan speechless.
Don’t you dare to be so embarrassed in front of Brother Gengyi? I, a real detective, am very shameless!
His half-moon eyes said:
"Uncle, stop making trouble! A case has occurred!"
"Case?!" Mouri Kogoro's cloudy eyes became clearer.
"yes."
Conan hurriedly recounted the shark's attack on a treasure hunter.
…
Hospital lobby.
Everyone who was anxiously waiting for the results of the operation turned their heads and looked over when they saw the red light in the operating room turned off.
Not long after, the doctor in charge of the operation came out with a solemn face and announced the fact that the rescue was ineffective:
"The vital organs were seriously injured and there was excessive blood loss. I have tried my best. Please forgive me."
"hateful!"
The two treasure hunters gritted their teeth and whispered, but they did not look like they were making a big fuss as ordinary people would imagine. Instead, they seemed to be preparing to leave.
"How could this happen? A death accident actually occurred..."
Officer Shangping, who had thinning hair, looked even more annoyed.
If a safety incident occurs to tourists, the official agencies of the entire island have unshirkable responsibility.
"No, this was not an accident, but a deliberate murder!"
Mouri Kogoro opened the door of the consulting room and walked out. After taking out the blood bag hidden in the buoyancy suit, he directly asked the two treasure hunters if they had any enemies, in order to understand the hidden story behind this matter. .
The two of them were speechless and speechless.
One can tell at a glance that they must be hiding some ulterior secret.
Seeing this, Officer Shangping hurriedly borrowed the hospital's phone number and contacted the Metropolitan Police Department to report the situation.
Mouri Kogoro also used his identity as a famous detective to remind the two of them that if they still did not tell the truth, they would have to stay at the hotel and wait for follow-up investigations before the police arrived.
The situation is quite stable.
It is a pity that the wetsuit and blood bag do not trigger marks...
Here, Ye Gengyi quickly thought about two possibilities.
First, the murderer was among the two treasure hunters. The purpose of killing their companions was most likely to unevenly distribute the spoils, leading to an escalation of conflicts...
But in this case, it doesn't make sense that they also rescued people from the sea.
Second, it is an act of revenge by other enemies. If you can put blood packets in the opponent's buoyancy suit, at least there must be a chance of contact...
By the way, when they left the hotel, they did not carry any relevant diving equipment.
Unless there is another storage location...
Thinking of this, Ye Geng said directly to Yamaguchi Kimiko:
“Are their wetsuits also rented and sold by your store?”
Conan also looked over and added: "Also...where are the diving equipment usually placed?"
"It's their own stuff."
Yamaguchi Kimiko said:
"If you don't usually dive, you will leave it in our store, because you only need to pay the consignment fee and you can enjoy our free oxygen tank filling service..."
"When Sister Xiaolan and the others go to return their diving suits later, can we go together?" Conan asked.
"Yeah...of course." Yamaguchi Kimiko nodded in agreement.
Sharks appeared in the sea.
Of course, diving is a no-brainer.
At the hospital, the two treasure hunters Mouri Kogoro, Police Officer Shangping and several enthusiastic islanders were watching, and they expected that there would be no problems in a short time.
Immediately, Ye Gengyi, Haihara Ai and Conan rode their bikes again and arrived at the diving shop called Grotto.
The owner of the store, Mabuchi Chinatsu, was cleaning the house. When he saw everyone coming back, he casually asked about the treasure hunter.
After learning that the other party had died due to ineffective resuscitation, he just muttered "That's it" and said nothing more.
Conan stayed in the store, preparing to wait for Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko to change clothes and enter the storage room to look for clues.
Outside the shop, Haihara Ai followed Ye Gengyi to the backyard where the washing equipment was used to check the footprints on the ground.
"Have you found anything?" Haiyuan Ai was too lazy to compare with professionals in this regard, so he directly asked for the results.
"The shoe size is No. 35, ordinary plastic soles, vertical stripes. Since the ground is very wet, the height and weight cannot be completely judged by the depth of the footprints. It is difficult to identify the target with this clue. Well... that's probably about it. ." Ye Gengyi said.
"Oh..." Haihara Ai blinked, "How about you go to the storage room and take a look? Edogawa is waiting over there."
"There are some things that children can do, but it would be weird for me..."
Ye Gengyi took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the footprints on the ground:
"So let's leave the clues over there to the little detective."
"Well……"
Haiyuan Ai was stunned, and began to imagine that after Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko changed into their diving suits, Brother Geng walked directly into the storage room and rummaged around, and couldn't help but sweat.
Hmm...it's really strange.
The two of them walked around and returned to the diving shop.
I happened to hear Conan asking Mayuchi Chinatsu about the store's night duty.
"You are playing a detective game..."
Ma Yuan Qianxia smiled and said:
"My family lives in the back, and Kimiko lives in an apartment near the port. Since there are no thieves on the island, not only is there no one on duty in the store at night, there is no need to even lock the door."
"That's it..." Conan was depressed.
The scope of suspicion is also too large. It can be said that no matter who it is, they can sneak in and put the blood bag into the buoyancy suit.
"On the other hand, everyone who lives here should know that you don't have the habit of locking your door, right?"
Ye Gengyi asked abruptly.
And silently added in his heart, and he is also the kind of person who will not arouse others' suspicion even if he wanders around at night.
After being reminded like this, Conan obviously thought of this and secretly felt ashamed that his idea of solving the puzzle was half a beat slower than Brother Geng's. He immediately raised his head and stared at the landlady with hopeful eyes and said:
"Excuse me, did you two leave the store together last night?"
"Uh... no, I went to town to buy things yesterday and left early."
As Mabuchi Qianxia said, she happened to see three girls coming out of the storage room and asked directly:
"Kimiko, you closed the store last night, right?"
"Yeah? What's wrong?"
Yamaguchi Kimiko's face was full of doubts.
Ma Yuan Qianxia spread her hands, looked at Ye Gengyi and Conan, and said:
"Because the two of them seem to be investigating who has tampered with the buoyancy suit..."
"All right."
Yamaguchi Kimiko said:
"I did close the door last night, and it was me who opened the door this morning. However, because we never have the habit of locking the door, anyone could come in and do something."
Sure enough, this is the result...
In this regard, a certain professor named Ye did not feel any surprise.
From the moment he saw Ma Yuan Qianxia cleaning the house, he took this into consideration and took the initiative to search for clues outside the store.
Unfortunately, there are no cameras installed here, and there are no footprints or traces on the land outside that are particularly worthy of attention.
Did it turn out that the door was not locked... Then we will investigate again later.
