"Henggou Police Department!"

Just as the three of them were making excuses, a fat criminal walked out of the room, carrying a bag of things. "We found these things in the basket in our locker room!"

"Huh? A plastic bottle of neon tea?" Yokomizo Shigego raised his eyebrows, leaning down to examine the bottle carefully. "But it doesn't look like it's filled with tea."

"Yes, we checked it before, and it seems to be just ordinary water."

The chubby criminal nodded and continued, "In addition, we also found three used matchsticks floating on the surface of the hot spring lake at the crime scene."

"Floating matchsticks?" Yokomizo Shigego asked in surprise, "Why would something like that exist?"

But unfortunately, his doubts gradually had no one to answer, because other people also didn't know why there were such things as matches on the lake.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Let's ask the two staff members at the entrance connecting the pier and the main building to come over."

After noting down the matter of the bottle and the matches, Tang Ze suggested, "It's not very reliable to just listen to their story one-sidedly.

Call those two staff members over and compare what they said with what they said before to see if there are any differences.

"Indeed, if he hid here all night last night, he shouldn't have passed through that entrance today." Huibara nodded in agreement.

"Well, let's go and ask." Yokomizo Shigeo thought what he said made sense, so he took the lead and walked towards the main gate of the main building.

After explaining the purpose of their visit to the two, the elderly waiter began to explain, "Because the lights on this floor are turned on at six in the morning, it's very dark before then.

Plus, there were subsequent accidents that caused chaos, and a lot of criminals showed up, so there were just too many people involved and I can’t remember anything at all.”

"The only thing that is certain is that Mr. Tieshan was the first to arrive."

The young waiter said, "After that, a few kids clamored to get in. That's all I remember."

"I remember you mentioned that Mr. Tieshan seemed to have made an exception and allowed us to enter the open-air hot spring in advance?"

Conan asked curiously, "Is it always like this?"

"Ah, yes."

The old waiter smiled and explained, "It's mainly because Mr. Tieshan really likes to take a hot spring bath.

So whenever Mr. Tieshan comes to stay here, we will turn on the lights in the hot spring bathhouse around 4:30 to let him in early."

"Inspector, we found out that the victim seems to have lost a ring."

Less than half a minute after hearing the waiter's words, a good-looking criminal ran over and reported another piece of information he had found.

"Ring?" Tang Ze asked, "What's the specific situation?"

The young detective glanced at Yokomizo Shigeo, and seeing he showed no reaction, he nodded and said, "We were investigating in the deceased's room when we found an empty box with the words 'Nippon Radio Newcomer Script Master' written on it.

Later, when we checked the deceased's belongings and body, we didn't find the ring, so we speculated that he might have lost the ring."

"Ah, I remember that ring."

Natori Fukashio pondered for a moment, then seemed to recall something. He stretched out his index finger and twirled it, saying, "That should be a ring with a gemstone about the size of a soybean, right?"

"Yes, I have that impression too."

Sitang Yunping nodded repeatedly in agreement: "It's a silver ring with a blue gem, right?

Whenever Mr. Qianshan gives a speech or a banquet, he always wears the ring with him. After all, he says the ring is his amulet.

"Have you searched other places carefully?" Yokomizo Shigego asked.

"We've searched all the suspicious places."

The handsome criminal nodded and said, "We suspect the ring might have been thrown into the lake along with the murder weapon."

"Have you searched the rooms of these three people?" Yokomizo Shigego looked at the three people behind him and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Well...each of their rooms actually has some suspicious points."

The handsome criminal's words made the three panic, but Yokomizo Shigego perked up: "Tell me in detail!"

"First, Mr. Terado, there are a lot of used matches thrown into the ashtray in his room."

"matches?"

Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego looked at Terado Unpei behind him with a scrutinizing expression. Seeing Yokomizo Shigego's gaze, Terado Unpei said in panic, "Is this not okay? I used matches to light my cigarette anyway!"

"As for Mr. Tanzawa's room, we found only one glove in his bag, and it was for his left hand."

The criminal continued to recount a discovery he had made during the investigation, and upon hearing this suspicion, Tanizawa Junsaku was not at all alarmed. He simply explained, "There's only one because it's a golf glove.

Actually, it’s mainly for anti-slip, so I only wear the glove on my left hand, after all, I’m right-handed.”

"Finally, there's Miss Natori. We found a broken wine glass in her room, along with several crumpled scripts."

"I was just rehearsing a play!"

Upon hearing this, Natori Fukashio immediately explained, "I read the script last night, and there was a scene in it where they ripped up a book and threw a blanket at each other.

After I put myself into the scene, I couldn't help but rehearse it.
