"Why would we touch Sister Yoko's personal belongings?"
Having achieved his goal, Conan smiled like a fox who had succeeded in his evil plan. He was still trying to please Rena Mizunashi, but his dishonest little hands had already lifted up the yukata hanging in the cupboard.
"whispering sound."
Seeing this scene, Kidd couldn't help but whispered:
"This kid knows how to find a place. He came up and searched for people's used yukatas..."
"No way, he's the only one who can touch some personal belongings without arousing suspicion."
Shrugging, Sakaki picked up a travel bag and unzipped it.
The travel bag was heavy, filled with many cosmetics of various kinds, and the descriptions on them were so complicated that even Makoto Sakaki couldn't understand them.
For a while...
Makoto Sakaki was somewhat suspicious whether Yoko Okino had brought her dressing table from home.
While they were collecting clues, Miss Miyano and Ran Mouri sat on the chairs next to the tea table and chatted with Rena Mizunashi in a random manner.
Take this opportunity to...
Sakaki Makoto and the other two moved quickly, trying to find the criminal.
but...
The result disappointed them.
There were no special items in the luggage of Yoko Okino and Rena Mizunashi. They were all things that could be bought on the market. There was no need for the criminals to take such a big risk to steal these things.
"Hey..."
At this moment, Kidd suddenly raised his eyebrows at Sakaki Makoto and looked at the black travel bag in the corner, his thoughts almost written on his face.
Even Conan, who came out of the cupboard, had the same reaction.
"The thing the criminal is targeting should not be in there. That's just a trick set up by Mizunashi Reina."
Sakaki Makoto shook his head:
"If Mizunashi Reina knew that she had an item that attracted the covetousness of others, would she just throw that item around the room?"
“She will definitely carry it with her.”
After hearing this reasoning, Kid and Conan looked at each other, feeling a bit caught in a dilemma.
The key to solving the case lies in the hands of Rena Mizunashi. In order to find out the identity of the criminal, we must first conduct reverse reasoning, but the current situation is not optimistic.
No one believed that Rena Mizunashi would tell the secret, otherwise the truth would have been revealed in the living room just now.
Rena Mizunashi must have some important clues.
How could I get that out of her mouth?
Makoto Sakaki was not very interested in the travel bag placed in the corner. From beginning to end, he only glanced at the travel bag twice, and the rest of his attention was all focused on Rena Mizunashi.
After Mizuno Rena sat down by the window, she crossed her legs, wrapped her left hand around her lower abdomen, and rubbed her earlobes with her right hand, which showed that she was very alert.
Rubbing the earlobes is usually considered a sign of inner anxiety in psychology.
It means that you don't want to listen to the other person talking endlessly, and it also means to help yourself concentrate and relieve stress.
Considering the current situation, Makoto Sakaki believes...
Rena Mizunoshi, who was fidgeting, must have obtained some crucial clue, and this clue may very likely point directly to the lifeblood of the Black Organization, otherwise she would not be so nervous.
If a frontal breakthrough doesn’t work, then try a detour and launch a surprise attack.
Conan quietly sneaked to the door and checked the mud on the soles of Rena Mizunashi's high heels and found that the smell was the same as that left by the criminal, which meant...
"Rena Mizunashi also went to that place."
After returning, Conan told this conclusion to Sakaki Makoto and Kidd:
"She left the living room at about the same time as us. Since she was able to get here within half a minute after receiving the call, it means that the place she went to was not far from us. It couldn't be the mountain or the lake."
Not on a mountain or by a lake...
Eliminate two of the three options, and the remaining one is the answer.
"Inn courtyard?"
Kidd frowned and thought:
"Why is she going to the courtyard?"
"Won't you know if you go down and take a look?"
Like Makoto Sakaki, Conan is an absolute action-oriented person. He enjoys everything about reasoning, including collecting evidence.
Ever since he knew that Rena Mizunashi was a CIA agent, he felt that he was in an excited state all the time. The challenge was that all the pores in his body opened up, making him feel more relaxed than taking a hot bath.
"Have you finished the inspection?"
Seeing Sakaki Makoto and the other two putting on their shoes and preparing to leave the room, Mizunashi Rena asked:
"Did you find anything?"
"Unfortunately, no."
Sakaki spread his hands and said that he had not lied to her. He had indeed not noticed:
"Let's go back to the living room. We'll be having dinner soon."
After closing the door, everyone went down the stairs and returned to the first floor.
In the large living room, the program team members took their seats one by one, and their shoes were piled outside the door, just like before Makoto Sakaki and the others left.
but...
Conan, who had sharp eyes, casually glanced at a row of shoes at the door before entering, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
Among the densely packed shoes of different styles, there was a pair of brown and yellow sneakers. The white sole was stained with a little black mud. The mud had been wiped off, but there was still a little trace left.
"Whose shoes are these?"
After watching Mizunashi Rena walk into the living room, Sakaki Makoto turned back and also discovered the clues above.
"It looks like the shoes of Naoki Seiichi from the equipment team..."
Kidd looked at it carefully and said:
"When I followed him yesterday, he was wearing a pair of tan sneakers."
"Naoki Seiichi..."
Silently memorizing the name, Sakaki Makoto walked into the courtyard. It was dinner time and the yard was empty. The rockery stood quietly, and the occasional breeze would interrupt the chirping of insects in the grass. Next to the stone bridge was a dark and wet muddy ground.
The mud was smooth and flat, with no footprints left.
Sakaki Makoto was not surprised by this. The area around the stone bridge was an open area. Would the criminal be stupid enough to invade from here openly?
The place he was going to was a shady area hidden by bushes and big trees.
Yumoto Onsen Hotel is a U-shaped structure with a rockery in the middle. It is very well greened and has many plants planted. A cross-shaped stone bridge stretches from east to west, south to north, making it convenient for people to move quickly.
The three of them walked along the stone bridge for a few steps and arrived at the center of the hotel.
"There are four invisible areas here."
Looking around, Kidd said:
"Let's each take one side, this will save time."
After saying that, he leaned over and dived into the bushes on the left. The leaves rustled, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"I'll go to the right."
Turning on the flashlight on his watch, Conan jumped over the bushes and disappeared.
Standing in place, Makoto Sakaki scratched his head, determined the direction, and found that the stairs that Rena Mizunashi came up were facing the bushes on the left, which was the area where Kidd went in. He silently lit a cigarette and waited patiently.
About two minutes later, the cigarette burned for a quarter of an hour...
Crash!
A head popped out from the left:
"I found footprints here!"
"Where's Conan?"
Before he finished speaking...
Crash!
Conan poked his head out from the bushes on the right, with a few leaves stuck to his hair:
"Hey, I found footprints here! Come here quickly!"
