"No...it can't be?!"
Hearing what Hanekawa Jōhei said, Tokura Kishiji, Tokura Shina and Tokura Ruri all showed expressions of disbelief.
Especially the stubble-faced Tonakura Kishiji. He first glared at Hanekawa Johei who was uttering wild words, and then looked at Hattori Heiji, his eyes full of distrust.
Hattori Heiji instantly understood this look.
Embarrassing, so embarrassing... Why did Brother Gengyi turn off the lights!
So...he agreed at that time because he thought I was going to use this mechanism to scare people! ?
Please! How many abyss are there between the two of us?
No...calm down, calm down, the case is important now, we can't let them continue to dwell on this topic...
He scratched his cheek with his fingers, and after adjusting his mentality, he said seriously:
"Ahem! Mr. Sakuya is just one of the murderers. As far as I know, hasn't he been seriously ill recently? It's still difficult for a person to move around in such a large villa without alerting anyone. "
"Eh?"
Hanekawa Johei obviously didn't expect that these 'unreliable' young people would even take Tokura Sakuya's physical condition into consideration:
"Then... tell me, who is Brother Suomi's accomplice?"
"It's the eldest daughter, Miss Tokura Mamoru, who has been missing for several hours!" Hattori Heiji said with confidence.
idiot!
Haha, as expected, there is no famous detective Mouri Kogoro. These young detectives are all a bunch of idiots. So what if they see through the secret passages and mechanisms? Just wait, you will have a headache next!
Hanekawa Johei tilted his head and almost couldn't control his expression to smile.
Hattori Heiji didn't notice his movements, but his attention was attracted by the rapid footsteps coming from the corridor behind him.
The maid Xiaoguang ran over and shouted in horror:
"No, it's not good! The security personnel outside the villa just called and said they saw a body in the forest in front of the villa!"
"What?!" Everyone was surprised.
Do you have a head? Ye Gengyi is more concerned about this issue.
…
The heavy rain seemed to separate the indoors and outdoors into two worlds.
Ye Gengyi walked to the woods directly in front of the villa holding an umbrella.
Two detective boys who were soaked in water were asking the security personnel about the situation.
It's not a headless corpse, it's Tokura Mamoru...
The body was tied to a wooden stake, with obvious strangulation marks on the neck, making it look like he had died of suffocation.
Was this also done by Hanekawa Johei...
"What?! Didn't you see her go out?" Hattori Heiji's exclamation interrupted Ye Gengyi's thoughts.
The body was located in the forest not far from the main entrance of the villa.
If the place where Tokura Mamoru was killed was in the woods, then she left the villa alone. On the contrary... there must be at least one living person and one corpse.
Even if it's a rainy day, the security personnel won't even ignore this, right?
The security guard explained:
"No one has left the villa since a gentleman named Otaki and a gentleman with a moustache drove away."
How can this be! ?
Hattori Heiji and Conan frowned.
"What about the gate?"
Ye Gengyi said: "Has it not been turned on since then?"
Regardless of whether Tokura Mamoru was alive or a corpse when he left, he probably would not have chosen to climb over the guardrail.
"Uh, no... I drove it once, and it was a truck from a furniture company."
The security guard said: "The driver said that the master ordered some sofas to be replaced, but he did not go into the villa because after we checked the delivery order, we found that he had mistakenly transported the sofas into chairs. I asked the driver to go back first, but the result At that moment there was an explosion in the distance..."
We have time to sneak out from the gate, but returning to the villa is still a problem...
Multiple people committed the crime?
Did you bribe the truck driver and these security personnel?
The odds are low, there's no reason to put the body in this location.
This method should be adopted to continue the crime method of disappearing corpses in coffins and supernatural photos, making the effect look more supernatural.
How on earth is it done...
Ye Gengyi continued to observe the corpse.
Noticed that there were very obvious injuries on her forearm and fingers.
Both sides have…
"Heiji."
"Ah? What's wrong, brother Geng Yi?" A certain black man looked up.
"Pull her sleeves up." Ye Gengyi said.
"oh."
Hattori Heiji nodded and followed the instructions, and then said softly: "There are scars here too."
"Brother Saraichi, brother Heiji, look, there is a hole dug in the ground next to the body!"
Conan half-crouched next to the body and provided clues: "Could this be related to the case half a year ago?"
"That makes sense..."
Hattori Heiji pondered: "If the murderer is the same person who killed Miss Shimizu half a year ago, it is very likely that he planned to insert the body upside down into the soil and let her blood bleed out..."
Insert it here?
Do you really need vision to be a security guard? Forget it, be cautious... Ye Gengyi turned around and asked, "How did you discover this body?"
The security guard said: "According to the employer's requirements, we will patrol the area during this time every day."
"In short... it's better to cover the area with a raincloth first, and then let the police use professional equipment to test it after the tunnel is opened."
Hattori Heiji wiped the rain off his face and found no more clues for a while.
Immediately, he and Conan worriedly checked around the villa in the rain.
During the period, I also learned from the security personnel that anti-theft equipment was installed on the wall, and an alarm would sound whenever someone climbed over the wall.
The two of them returned to the villa as if they were drowned in water.
As soon as I entered the entrance hall.
I saw a professor surnamed Ye cleaning the mud from his shoes here.
"The towel is on the cabinet." Ye Geng didn't even look up.
"Thanks...well..."
Conan and Hattori Heiji wiped the rain from their faces. When they could see the scene in front of them clearly, the second half of the sentence was choked in their mouths. They simply wiped their hair and squinted at the same towel in someone's hand in unison... …
Hey, hey, let's wipe our heads and you can wipe your shoes? And your clothes are still dry, so the contrast seems a bit too strong!
"What did you find?" Ye Gengyi was still asking.
He has always believed in the observation skills of these two detective boys, so he would hit Conan hard every time.
"Nothing has been found yet..." Hattori Heiji shook his head depressedly.
"Oh, let's go and tell them what happened." Ye Geng stood up and walked towards the restaurant.
Hattori Heiji and Conan followed behind them all wet. Looking at someone's back, they felt as if they were an 'assistance dog' being let out by Saragi to collect clues.
Bah bah bah!
What are we thinking...
The two of them shook their heads wildly, trying to shake this thought out of their minds. At the same time, they shook their bodies to get rid of a lot of rain.
