Chapter 13 Beast Murder Case
◎Damn it, which little bastard reported me◎
Ever since Mu'an Jiaxi arrived yesterday, she'd lavishly booked a luxury suite. She looked like a newly minted nouveau riche, spending all sorts of money. Sudi felt so embarrassed walking behind her. Her smug expression practically spelled out "I'm rich" on her face.
Sudi had tried to persuade him, but it was no use. Muan Jiaxi even said, "When you go on a trip, you should relax and enjoy yourself. You should spend what you need to spend. There's no point in saving."
Faced with her generous and magnanimous words, Sudi directly exposed her, "You are rich and fat now, isn't it just that I am finally rich and want to be a rich woman for once? Don't talk so high-soundingly."
Mu An Jiaxi was not embarrassed at all when he was exposed. "I call this experiencing different pleasures in life."
"Come on, there are different kinds of fun in life. Come on, take me with you to experience this, and I'll enjoy this kind of fun with you too."
The two spent a day experiencing it and finally concluded that they were not worthy. They spent money without being able to experience it, but it was like water flowing down their throats. They ate fine food but were not full, and they pretended but were not worthy. Instead, they looked like nouveau riche. Goodbye.
In the end, I just went to the low-end restaurant downstairs for dinner.
The next day at noon, Mu'an Jiaxi pulled the still dozing Sudi with one hand and stomped towards the restaurant in her slippers. Having just gotten up, she was too lazy to clean herself up, so she simply washed her face and put on her slippers before heading out.
They walked into the restaurant and ordered two lunches. The service here was quite efficient and the meals came out within a few minutes. Just when they were halfway through their meal, they suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind.
"Wow, this restaurant is so big."
"Here's some eel rice."
"Genta, all you know is eel rice."
"Conan, stop running around."
"Okay, Sister Xiaolan."
Mu'an Jiaxi paused while eating noodles, turned around in disbelief, and saw a large group of familiar people in the distance, walking towards this side slowly.
Mu'an Jiaxi cursed inwardly: What a fate, what a stroke of luck!
Sudi on the opposite side also saw it and teased Mu An Jiaxi, who wanted to bury his face in the plate, "The protagonist is here, tell us what you think."
"I want to go home. I don't want to play anymore."
Looking at the crowd approaching, Sudi stopped joking and said, "You go first and I'll block the way for you."
Mu'an Jiaxi raised his hand and made an OK sign. "For saving my life today, I will repay you handsomely someday."
Sudi kicked her with a laugh and said, "Stop talking nonsense and leave now."
Mu'an Jiaxi did not delay any longer, quickly stood up and left from the other side of the restaurant.
What Muan Jiaxi didn't know was that Amuro Toru had actually seen her when she left. Although it was only half of her back, he was sure it was her.
But Conan was talking to Xiaolan and didn't notice this.
Not long after Mu'an Jiaxi left, Sudi also stood up and left the restaurant.
Back in the room, looking at Muan Jiaxi who was sitting on the bed, Sudi walked over and sat next to her, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking we should change the location for this trip. I heard there's a new villa nearby that's pretty good. Why don't we go there?"
"I don't mind."
Mu'an Jiaxi snapped his fingers and said, "Alright then, let's unanimously decide that we should change places and leave as soon as possible. With Conan here, there's bound to be a murder here. We have to leave quickly or we won't be able to leave."
The next morning, Mu'an Jiaxi packed his things, checked out, took a taxi with his suitcase and left the hotel.
Seeing the car gradually moving away from the hotel, Mu'an Jiaxi's heart was completely relieved. However, what she didn't know was that a murder had occurred in the hotel just when she left.
A body was found in the forest behind the hotel. When it was discovered, the body had already been bitten to pieces by "beasts". After investigation, the deceased was found to be the male lobby manager of the hotel.
After hearing the news, Kogoro Mouri and his group rushed to the scene immediately, quickly isolated the crowd and maintained order at the scene.
After more than ten minutes, the police finally arrived. They immediately set up a cordon to isolate the scene, and then questioned and took statements from the people on the scene.
At this moment, Amuro Toru suddenly spoke up: "Two women hurriedly left in a taxi with suitcases about ten minutes ago. I find it very suspicious."
Upon hearing this, the leading officer immediately ordered his subordinates to retrieve the surveillance footage. They found it was indeed suspicious, having left in a hurry. After questioning the front desk, they learned that they had checked out midway through their stay. They had paid for five days but only stayed for two, which was incredibly suspicious. Since it was suspicious, they definitely needed to be called back for an investigation. The leading officer immediately dispatched someone to retrieve them.
On the other side of the road
Seeing that they had already run most of the way, Mu An Jiaxi's heart finally settled down. She leaned back in complete relaxation. Su Di, who was standing beside her, comforted her but also teased her, "Why are you so nervous? An, you look like a thief on the run."
Mu An Jia Xi was too lazy to refute her. She was just like a thief now. It was not easy for her. She had come out to travel and relax, but she ran into this group of people, and they brought a death god with them. If she didn't escape quickly, this trip would be completely ruined.
Suddenly, Mu An Jia Xi seemed to hear the faint sound of a police car siren coming from behind the car. The sound gradually became louder and louder. The two looked back curiously and saw a police car following closely behind them, honking the horn continuously. Su Di looked at her and said, "Isn't it coming to see you?"
Mu'an Jiaxi rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you looking for me? I must be blocking the road." Then he said to the driver, "Master, you are blocking the road. Please move aside. The police officer still needs to perform his duties."
When the driver heard this, he immediately pulled aside to make room for the police car. Seeing this, the police car immediately drove forward, but did not drive away. Instead, it drove parallel to the taxi, honking its horn non-stop. Mu An Jiaxi then realized something was wrong and whispered to Sudi, "They really can't be here to find me, right? I didn't do anything. Could it be that the business the original owner did before is illegal?"
"Calm down, calm down. They might not be looking for you. They might be looking for the driver."
At this moment, the window of the police car rolled down, and a male police officer stuck his head out and shouted, "Taxis on the side, please stop. Pull over. Pull over."
The taxi driver immediately braked and stopped the car. Two policemen then got out of the police car and knocked on the window. The driver rolled down the window and asked nervously, "Mr. Police, what can I do for you?"
One of the male police officers looked behind him and said, "We are here to look for them. Get out of the car."
Seeing this, Mu An Jiaxi couldn't help but say, "He really is looking for us two."
The two men got out of the car obediently, took the luggage from the trunk as instructed, and got into the police car. Then the police car turned around and went back.
In the police car, Mu'an Jiaxi couldn't help but ask, "Uncle police, what have we done wrong that requires you to make such a big scene?"
Upon hearing this, the police officer sitting in the passenger seat asked, "You've stayed at an island hotel before, right?"
"Yes, we have, but we were just there for tourism. We got bored and wanted to go somewhere else. Today we were planning to go to the villa next door, but we were blocked here by you guys before we even got there."
The police explained, "Well, there's been a homicide at the island hotel where you stayed before, and we need you to go back and cooperate with our investigation."
Mu'an Jiaxi was surprised for a moment. "Someone's dead," he sighed. The aura of the Grim Reaper was so strong, it killed everyone wherever it went. But he hadn't expected it to happen so soon. Judging from the situation, they must have been discovered as soon as they left, and then they were treated as suspects.
I'm really drunk. Now I regret it so much. If I had moved out last night, I wouldn't have to go back now. When I think about going back, I will definitely meet the protagonists again.
Ah, why is it so difficult for her? Can't she just have a quiet trip? She has to add some excitement!
Ten minutes later, the police car carrying Mu Anjiaxi and the others returned to the scene. The two men got out, picked up their suitcases, and followed the two police officers to the perimeter of the scene. One of the officers shouted inside, "Officer Hengmizo, I've brought the person back."
After a moment, a tall and burly man walked out and looked at them. "Hello, my name is Yokomizo Kazuo. You two are the two who checked out this morning, Muan Jiaxi and Sudi, right?"
The two nodded, and Yokomizo Kazuo said, "Here's what happened: a murder occurred here half an hour ago. Around that time, someone reported you two leaving the hotel in a hurry, dragging your suitcases. I've since checked, and there are indeed some issues. That's why we summoned you here to ask you about the details."
Mu An Jiaxi hit the nail on the head with one swipe. "Report!" His back teeth itched, and he erupted in anger. It turned out someone was messing around. "Report! Who's reporting? That's so wicked! We're acting suspiciously. I'm tired of playing here, and I can't even leave? I'm not staying here forever, and I can't leave. I'm acting suspiciously, and I said he killed someone. Where's the person who reported me? I have to find him and argue with him. I'll skin him alive and make jerky out of him. How can you be so arrogant to accuse someone so casually?"
Sudi beside him quickly tried to dissuade him, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's not worth it."
Yokomizo Kazuo hadn't anticipated Mu'an Jiaxi's intense reaction, so he continued to soothe her, "Miss, please calm down. We'll investigate thoroughly and clear your name. Please calm down."
"Give me back my innocence. I didn't do anything. What innocence do I need? I want to sue him for hit-and-run, assault, and intentional injury. I want him to compensate me for my mental damage and all my losses. This matter is not over yet. How can he be so arrogant? He even slandered me. Do I know him? I just closed my eyes and said nonsense."
At this time, Xiaolan heard the familiar roar outside and came out, "Sister Jia Xi, what's wrong with you?"
Yokomizo Kazuo explained what he had said. After listening to it, Xiaolan suddenly realized, "Oh, so it's about this." Then she smiled and said to Mu'an Jiaxi, "Sister Jiaxi, there must be some misunderstanding here. Don't be angry for now. Let's get to the bottom of this matter."
Mu An Jiaxi was stubborn and refused to compromise. "You can investigate, but tell me who reported that bastard. If I don't tear him apart, and if he can't speak, I'll just sew his mouth shut to prevent him from causing trouble in the future."
Xiaolan said with some embarrassment: "The report was made by Mr. Amuro, but, Sister Jiaxi, there must be some misunderstanding. Mr. Amuro is not that kind of person. Let's investigate it first, okay?"
Mu An Jiaxi instantly quieted down, "………………"
Sudi also looked up at the sky awkwardly and sighed, "The sun is quite strong today, and it's a bit hot, oh."
