"Hey, Criminal Chongwu, we meet again."
Seeing the other person's neat hairstyle, Tang Ze immediately recognized that he was the younger twin brother, Shigeo Yokomizo.
He is the one who is completely opposite to his brother and hates Kogoro Mouri.
"Detective Tangze, why are you here?" Hearing the familiar voice, Shigeo Yokomizo looked up and was surprised to see Tangze.
"Of course we come here to take a hot spring bath."
Tang Ze said this, spreading his hands, with a look of helplessness on his face: "But it's a pity that a good day off also made me catch up with the case."
"That's really awful," Yokomizo Shigego sympathized. "It's really unfortunate that a good day off has become a workday."
"Anyway, that's the situation. Let's save the small talk for after the case is resolved. First, let me tell you about the circumstances surrounding the incident."
When Tang Ze said this, he recounted in detail how Huihara and others discovered the case this morning, of course, including his judgment on the corpse.
"Hmm... So, apart from the suspicious fact that the deceased walked into the 'women's bath', the crime scene looks like a complete accident?"
Shigeo Yokomizo looked at the corpse on the ground that was being photographed as evidence, and his eyes swept over the other person's feet and the soap not far away.
"Yes, I also asked the hotel staff before you came."
Tang Ze nodded and said, "According to them, it was too early for the hot springs to open, but there were always customers who wanted to go there early to soak in the hot springs and watch the sunrise, so they usually intercepted them at the entrance of the pier.
The two staff members also clearly stated that before the children came to the pier and asked to enter, the only person who had entered the open-air hot spring was the deceased, Tetsuyama Iwaji.
"That is to say, Tetsuyama Iwaji was actually in a closed room, waiting for those little ghosts to enter, and then he discovered the other party's body."
Yokomizo Shigego glanced at the corpse and said, "The only possibility now is that this old man slipped and hit his head accidentally, leading to his death, right?"
"No, you can see there's still a little water in the clavicle, and the same is true around the belly button."
Tang Ze pointed to the two depressions at the man's collarbone and belly button, "Although there is only a shallow layer of water in these two places, don't forget that the force of the deceased's slip was enough to cause severe head injuries and death.
In this situation, it is understandable if there are still some water droplets on the body, but it is too abnormal that there is no splash in the shallow puddle."
“Indeed…”
Yokomizo Shigego was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and looked at Tang Ze, "Then what do you think might have caused this situation?"
"It's simple. Someone ran hot water over the body, trying to wash something away."
Tang Ze's words startled Yokomizo Shigego: "Wash away certain things..."
Thinking of this, Yokogani Shigego's pupils shrank, and he suddenly said, "That's right, it's blood!
The messenger was hit hard on the back of the head, which means that the criminal hit him from behind.
Although injuries caused by a blunt object are similar to those caused by an accidental fall on a rock, the blood splattering is different.
The deceased was attacked while standing, causing blood to splatter on his shoulders and back. If blood still remained on his body, we would definitely notice something was wrong.
So in order to avoid being noticed by us, the other party used hot water to wash away the bloodstains on the body.
So, this is a murder case!?"
"Not only that, but also a murder case in a locked room."
At this moment, Conan's slightly serious voice rang out: "When we found the body, we didn't find anyone else in this place except Huiyuan and the others who came with me.
Besides that, I didn’t hear any sound of anyone jumping into the lake.”
"It's a completely sealed room..." Yokomizo Shigego said solemnly, pointing to the outside: "Send the forensic department over here and thoroughly investigate this room inside and out!"
"It's just a nuisance here. Let's leave the room for a while." Tang Ze called Conan to go outside.
Conan nodded in response and followed Tang Ze out of the room.
As soon as they arrived at the pier, Genta and Mitsuhiko came over with red faces.
"Conan, how is it?" Mitsuhiko asked excitedly in a low voice.
"Did you see it?" Yuantai was so nervous that he swallowed his saliva.
"What did you see?" Conan asked with a confused look on his face when he heard the two little ones ask.
"That's it..." Mitsuhiko glanced at Huiyuan and the other person standing behind him, covered his mouth and whispered, "That..."
"Didn't Ayumi scream?" Yuan Taixu said.
"Ah~ I saw it." After hearing what the two said, Conan was stunned and then nodded seriously.
Because Conan's voice was not concealed at all, Haibara and Ayumi, who had been eavesdropping with their ears perked up from a distance, were startled when they heard his words, and their faces inevitably blushed with embarrassment.
“You really are!”
“I saw it!”
Mitsuhiko and Genta's faces flushed red, and they looked frightened.
"Yes, I can see it clearly."
Conan replied without noticing, "After all, I saw it while taking a hot spring bath, so it's only natural, right?
I saw everything naked, Tang Ze..."
"I'm talking to you!!" Huiyuan rushed over and yelled with a red face: "That's terrible!"
"Conan, you idiot, idiot, idiot!!" Ayumi screamed in shame and anger, as if she wanted to vent the shame and anger in her heart through roaring.
Of course this is normal. After all, no girl can accept the fact that she is seen naked, not to mention that the other party uses the adjective "naked", which is embarrassing and infuriating.
