An hour and a half later.
Yamamura Cao from Gunma Prefecture rushed to the scene.
As soon as Ye Geng received a call from Dr. A Li, he returned to the pool under the cliff with a few people who had eaten and drank enough.
The figures of the group of people gradually became closer in sight.
The wind and snow had already stopped by this time.
While sighing with emotion about the natural climate artifact.
From this distance, Ye Gengyi and the others could just hear a police officer reporting to Shan Cuncao:
"The deceased's name is Ogura Sakuko, 22 years old, a fourth-year student at the University of Fine Arts. The cause of death is suspected to be drowning, but the specific circumstances will not be determined until the forensic autopsy."
"Well, let's do it this way...don't forget to notify the relatives of the deceased...ah, sneeze!"
Yamamura So stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, sneezed, and bent down to look at the body, "It's so cold. By the way, was the deceased traveling alone?"
Ye Gengyi: "..."
It’s as useless as ever. After being at the scene for so long, you didn’t even notice the few people watching over there?
"..."
The accompanying police officer was speechless for a moment, but he still pointed forward and explained: "It is understood that the deceased came with these three college classmates."
Then, he introduced several people one by one.
Itabashi Ipachi is a man with a long middle parting.
A young woman with short gray-brown hair, Asaka Ogami.
There is also Kiyama Danji, who is of medium height and well-proportioned muscles.
"Oh, so the three of them were the ones who found the body." Yamamura looked like he was sleepwalking.
"That's not true. It was Brother Gengyi and our young detective team who found the body!"
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta walked over quickly:
"When there was a snowstorm at noon, we went out to look for the missing eldest sister, and we saw her floating in the pool on the cliff."
"Eh, eh, eh!?"
Yamamura Cao was surprised several times in a row, "It's actually Mr. Ye and you guys. So Mr. Mori must be nearby~"
He looked around expectantly, took out the video recorder and muttered that this time he must take a picture of the famous detective's heroic reasoning.
As a criminal police officer, is it really appropriate for you to be so excited at the scene of a murder... Conan Half Moon Eyes said, "I'm sorry, Yamamura Police Department, Uncle Maori didn't come."
"Ah, that's it..."
Yamamura Soo clearly showed disappointment and sighed, "It seems that this cursed incident cannot be solved by the sleeping Kogoro."
"Cursed?!" Dr. A Li wondered.
"Yes, you see that the deceased was wearing ski boots, right? And the skis are floating on the water. When you get to the pool below the cliff, you have to pass the bridge over there. According to common sense, the deceased should I was snowboarding in a snowstorm and accidentally fell off a cliff and fell into this pool, but..."
Yamamura Cao changed the topic, his face turned gloomy, and he deliberately said in a low and hoarse tone: "This pool! Don't you think it's strange? It's snowing on the mountains, why is there no ice here? There must be some mountain spirit monster. Make trouble here, and then..."
"Because there is hot spring water underground."
Ye Gengyi interrupted Yamamura Cao's nonsense: "The hotel above has posted relevant promotional posters. If you don't know, you can take a look."
"Oh, it turns out there is a hot spring."
Yamamura Cao quickly took out his notepad and took notes, "Then it's basically certain that this was an accident."
"Then let's end it like this..."
"cough!"
Before Ye Gengyi finished speaking, Hui Yuan Ai coughed decisively on the side, pulled his sleeves, imitated the tone of a certain little detective with some shame, and said: "Eh? Really? Geng Yi Brother, you said that Miss Shuozi was deliberately faked as a skiing accident by the person who killed her, so she put on sled shoes."
Ye Gengyi: "..."
This girl really tried her best to establish a positive image for me in front of Conan.
"Deliberate forgery? Mr. Ye..."
Yamamura Cao came over with a vague understanding, "How could you say that?"
"Goggles, hat, gloves."
Ye Gengyi didn't bother to explain it again, so he directly gave three answers like a fill-in-the-blank question.
"That's right..."
Haiyuan Ai had no choice but to add to the question: "It was very windy and snowy outside before. It was impossible for her to go out skiing without wearing any protective gear. Even if the goggles and hat accidentally fell off on the way down the cliff, the gloves would always be there." You can't just disappear, can you?"
As she spoke, she stared at the three college students.
No matter how slow Yamamura Cao was, he finally realized the problem at this time. Then, he hurriedly came to the three of them:
"Don't be embarrassed, please explain to me in detail the situation from the time Miss Shuozi disappeared to the time when the body was found."
"okay……"
The three of them looked at each other, and then they began to tell the story one by one.
The last time they saw the deceased was in the lobby of the mountain hotel before 12 o'clock.
Before returning to their rooms to rest, they made an appointment to have lunch in the restaurant at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. However, the deceased did not show up. When he knocked on the door in the room, no one answered. As a last resort, he found the owner of the hotel and used his Universal Card to open the door. As a result, he found Sakuko Ogura is missing.
So, they could only search around, and then met the enthusiastic Dr. Ali and Conan who didn't mind the trouble in the restaurant. After a brief discussion, they split up and saw the body of the deceased in the pool.
"What about the period from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock? Were the three of you always in the room?" Yamamura asked.
"Well, I'm in my room."
"Me too."
Onoe Asaka and Kiyama Danji nodded in agreement.
"that……"
Banqiao Kaizhao, who had long middle-parted hair, said with a slight hesitation: "I was building a snowman behind the hotel at that time..."
"Building a snowman?" Yamamura paused with his recording hand and asked doubtfully, "It must have been snowing at that time. Why didn't you go back to the room?"
"Because it is the graduation work of the four of us. If some details are not adjusted, I will be uneasy even when I go back to the room..." Itabashi Kaizhachi said.
"Can anyone prove it for you?" Ye Geng suddenly said suddenly.
"Uh... I guess not," Itabashi Kazuhachi explained with a dry smile: "I seem to be the only one outside."
"In other words, no one could know what you were doing outdoors at that time." Ye Gengyi asked.
"Well..." Banqiao choked.
"That's right!" Yamamura's eyes lit up, "All we need to do is secretly invite Miss Shuozi to the cliff, and then push her hard like this, and she will fall into the pool here!"
"As for proof of alibi, Ogami and I don't have one."
Kiyama Danji, who was of medium height and well-proportioned muscles, stood up and defended his companions: "Furthermore, even if someone stood on the edge of the cliff and pushed him down, with this slope, he would only be able to fall near here at most, and it would be impossible to fall." Get into the pool."
"First of all, I didn't say that you and this lady are not suspicious. Secondly, if you can't do something with your body, it doesn't mean you can't do it with the help of tools." Ye Gengyi said.
"tool?"
Yamamura Soo was inspired again, "I remembered that we found the receipt for renting skis and sledding boots in Ms. Sakuko's pocket. So you must have rented them too, right?"
"Well, I rented skis." Banqiao Yayi said.
"I rented it too, but except for Shuozi, the three of us didn't go because..."
Kiyama Danji looked at Onoue Asaka on the side.
The latter took the initiative to explain, "They didn't go because they were worried about my foot injury last year."
"You didn't ski, but you still rented ski equipment? I understand..."
Yamamura looked at Itabashi Kazuha and Kiyama Danji with a serious expression, "You must have used the hour at noon to invite Miss Sakuko out, carried her down the slope, and then used inertia to pull her down. Throw it into the pool!"
