Chapter 27 Tragedy Reflected in Water

When Conan got home, he found out that Ran Maori and her best friend Suzuki Sonoko were not at home tonight because they were going to a cooking class to learn cooking. Maori Kogoro had to go out to find food with Conan. While Maori Ran was away, Uncle Maori secretly ordered a bottle of expensive wine to take away.

At night, there were few people on the Wuzhang River. Street lights illuminated a small area of ​​land, and the bright moonlight was reflected in the shimmering river water. The sound of insects chirping, the rustling of leaves, and the faint smell of grass in the wind made it a perfect environment for moon-watching. Maori Kogoro stumbled into this beautiful scene, breaking the silence.

"Uncle, please stop drinking..." Conan looked at Maori Kogoro, who was crooked but firmly holding the bottle of wine. He raised his hand to try to help him, but he didn't dare to really do it. "Uncle...ah! Be careful!"

Maori Kogoro tripped over his right foot and lost his balance, rolling down the slope. Conan was so scared that he hurried to chase him, but what could he catch with his small body? Maori Kogoro rolled all the way with sparks and lightning, and finally rolled in front of a van. His head and the back of the van had an intimate and crisp collision, and a loud "bang" sound came, attracting the attention of everyone nearby.

"Brother Mori, what are you doing?" Walking around the van, Inspector Megure said in shock with his eyes wide open, "The way you appear is quite unique." If it wasn't the wrong timing, he really wanted to say, "There was a loud bang in the sky, and Mori made a brilliant appearance."

Conan finally caught up and hurriedly checked Uncle Maori's injuries, but found that he had fainted. Conan slapped his forehead speechlessly. He tried to pull Uncle Maori a few times, but he didn't move at all. He had to look up and ask for help from Inspector Megure. Then he saw that not only was Inspector Megure present, but there was also a circle of police doctors behind the car, and the three people from the barber shop who had parted in the evening were also there, so he asked in confusion: "Inspector Megure? What are you doing?"

"Oh~ Conan, it's okay. They found someone drowning. We just came over and the doctors are still trying to save him." Officer Megure made way to the side and Conan saw the doctors were doing manual CPR. The ambulance was equipped with a defibrillator but they didn't use it. They chose manual resuscitation. I guess the person must be dead.

As expected, the doctor pressed a few times symbolically and declared him dead, and no one on the scene raised any objections. Even the most ignorant person could tell that the man had been dead for quite some time, and his entire body had taken on a strange gray-green color.

The dead woman was short, wearing a black top and dark jeans, without any jewelry. Her limbs were slender, but her belly was abnormally bulging. Her red hair was like seaweed, sticking to her terrified face. The skin on her hands was rough, her fingernails were turned up, and the nail seams and fingertips were covered with a layer of light brown paint-like substance.

"Conan, why don't you go to the hospital with Brother Mori?" Inspector Megure sighed helplessly as he watched the ambulance not only take the body away, but also take Mori to the hospital.

"It's okay for me, I can go back by myself. And Xiaolan will also finish her get out of class at ten o'clock, so I can ask her to take me away then." Conan frowned and thought for a while, then looked around and asked, "Where's Brother Yayoi?"

"Anto Yayoi?" Inspector Megure of course remembered this recent big case. When he heard Conan calling "Yayoi brother", he thought he was talking about Anto Yayoi.

"No, it was with Brother Jing Yayoi, whom I just met today. Before I left, I saw him with these three uncles and aunts." Conan then remembered that he seemed to have something to say to Jing Yayoi at that time. What was it?

"Is that so? Then please invite him over. Does anyone have his contact information?" asked Inspector Megure.

The older of the two women frowned and retorted, "But, he was a high school student with an injured leg who could only sit in a wheelchair. We all got our hair done in Youli's barber shop. Because he was unable to move, we drove him home on the way, so we knew his address." Qianhe Shiyi crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "But... No way, do the police even doubt this?"

Inspector Megure said solemnly, "I don't suspect him, but he can provide you with an alibi. You don't want to be suspected by the police, do you? As for his mobility problems, we police can pick him up. Please provide some information."

Qianhe Shiyi was intimidated by Inspector Megure, and reluctantly agreed with a sigh, "Tsk, okay."

"By the way, Auntie, is Tomoka the manager of Air City? Why didn't she watch the moon with you?" Conan asked curiously. Tomoka sounds like a girl's name, and it sounds very intimate, so why not invite her to watch the moon with you?

Hearing this, Qianhe Shiyi's face became extremely ugly. She looked at Conan in horror, as if she was looking at a monster.

Conan was confused by the look, so Inspector Megure quietly squatted down and explained: "The one who died was Miss Kurokawa Tomoki, the store manager of Air City."

Ah, so that's why Miss Qianhe Shiyi's expression was so ugly. No one would feel good when seeing a corpse, especially a corpse of an acquaintance, while enjoying the moon. And it's understandable why the skin on the hands of the deceased was so rough and there were traces of dye, because the other party opened a barber shop. Frequently washing customers' hair and contact with dyes would erode the skin on the hands.

Conan looked at Qian He Shi Yi apologetically and made a gesture of begging for mercy. Seeing this, Qian He Shi Yi had to swallow the complaints she wanted to say and pursed her lips in silence.

"We, let's hurry up and pick up Brother Yayoi, haha." Conan joked and changed the subject. After a while, the police took Yayoi Kazukage over. He was sitting in a wheelchair, his face was pale, and he was obviously in poor spirits. He was yawning frequently, and his eyes were closed as if he was going to fall asleep in the next second. This made Inspector Megure and Conan feel a little embarrassed, feeling that they were delaying the patient's rest.

In fact, the real reason was that Kazukage Yayoi saw a bloody Gin cat climbing the window when he just returned home. The two sides had a conflict of "You asked me to come in to bandage, I have a fracture and if you come in, it will bleed, I don't want to deal with it, so don't come in, go back to the base to treat it." Gin, who originally came to get a bandage for emergency fixation, was successful in angrily stabbing Kazukage Yayoi. After all, Kazukage Yayoi had to take out the first aid kit for herself.

Of course, this resulted in the room being filled with blood, and then the police came to the door.

To be honest, the moment Gin, who was bandaging Kazukage Yayoi, realized that there were police nearby, his first reaction was that they had called the police, and then he was amused by his own idea. These days, he heard the people at the base secretly discussing "I Stumbled into the Mafia and Determined to Change My Life" behind his back, and Gin even went to check what this thing was.

Then he was shocked by the pages of the book that contained words like "Brother, they also have their own difficulties", "Brother, you have not experienced their sufferings", "Brother, he is like this, just forgive him", and "Brother, let's call the police and let them solve it."

Gin, who had not yet been baptized by the Virgin Mary's words, was greatly shocked. He even didn't want to hear the word "big brother" again for a while, so he was happy that Vodka didn't appear by his side.

The reason why Gin was so kind to bandage Kazukage Yayoi was not because he was brainwashed by "I Stumbled into the Mafia and I Determined to Change My Life" and became conscientious. It was simply because Kazukage Yayoi was about to lose too much blood and fall into shock. But the other party could only hold the bandage and look at it blankly, and didn't even know to wrap it twice symbolically.

Gin, who had a broken arm, was so angry that he had a headache. Between helping to stop the bleeding and watching Kazukage Yayoi kill himself, he chose to save him with his last remaining sanity. It was purely because Gin didn't want to lose a subordinate he trusted for such an inexplicable reason. But he began to regret why he had to travel for more than ten minutes, thinking that Kazukage Yayoi's house also had a first aid kit.

He should have driven back to the base even if his hand was broken, instead of just trying to get closer. A broken hand was no big deal. He felt that being pissed off was the biggest deal.

Back at the scene, Kazukage Yayoi became confused due to blood loss, he yawned loudly, wanting to finish the case as soon as possible and go back to mop the floor. It would be better to expect Gin to blow up his house than to expect him to mop the floor, which is why he didn't want to let Gin in.

He still had to remove the blood from the corpse, so he could only clean in the most common way. As he spoke, he asked, "Do you have a mop at home? How should I mop the floor when pushing a wheelchair?" As he thought about it, his thoughts gradually drifted away, and he slowly lowered his head and fell into a deep sleep.

Conan frowned in confusion, wondering if the other party's reaction was too calm. Anyone who knew that the owner of the barber shop he went to in the afternoon was dead and the other three people were murder suspects would be more or less nervous and worried. Although Kazukage Yayoi was a former murder suspect, his reaction was too calm, as if he already knew everything. So Conan walked over, gently pushed him, and asked tentatively: "Brother Yayoi, do you have something to say to me this afternoon? What is it?"

He Jing Yayoi opened his eyes dazedly and looked at Conan quietly for a while before he realized what the other party was saying. He thought for a while and said, "Instead of asking me, why not ask the one with curly hair and a floral dress? She knows more information than me."

Conan paused for a second, looked back at Qianhe Shiyi, and then looked at He Jing Yayoi with a complicated look: "Okay, I understand."

What did He Jing Yasheng know? How could he be sure that Qian He Shiyi had more information than him? Only someone who knew the whole story could say such a thing. How did He Jing Yasheng know that? Or was the crime scene not here, but in the barber shop? And among those three people, is there a real criminal! ?
