"Yes, he even came closer on purpose, and we all smelled it." Conan nodded, "But I'm not sure it was him. He was wearing a hat and his collar was high, so we can't be sure it was the same person from yesterday."
Conan was still very rigorous about the deceased. Since he had not confirmed the other person's appearance, he did not directly conclude that the dead person was the man they met yesterday based on his dress.
"Yeah, I understand."
Tang Ze nodded when he heard this, looked at the kids and said, "You guys wait here for a while.
I've already called the police, and they'll be here soon. Please cooperate with me and make a statement."
"knew."
The kids answered honestly after hearing this, but they weren't too excited. After all, it wasn't the first time they had to take notes, so they were used to it.
Perhaps because it was still early, there were not many vehicles on the road heading to work, and Officer Megure soon brought Takagi here.
After explaining the situation to the two of them, Takagi soon brought a guard over.
"This is the security guard who patrolled the park yesterday." Takagi led the middle-aged man over and introduced him.
"Thank you for your hard work. When do you start patrolling?" Officer Megure asked.
"I started patrolling around 3:00 AM," the guard thought for a moment and said, "When I reached the flower clock, it was probably around 3:50 AM."
"Did you see any corpse or any signs of flowers being disturbed at that time?" Tang Ze asked.
"No, after all, the ceremony is about to take place, so I made a point of looking at the flower clock." The guard answered truthfully.
"kindness..."
Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure held his chin and pondered for a moment, but before he could speak, Kogoro Mouri's words suddenly came from the side.
"This is probably an accident!" Kogoro Mouri, who was standing in front of the flower clock and looking at it, attracted everyone's attention as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Brother Mori, why are you here too!?" Inspector Megure said in surprise after seeing the other party.
"Ran said that Conan will be home later than usual today, so she asked me to pick him up."
Maori Kogoro explained, then turned and pointed at the flower clock: "I just looked at it, the stone at 6 o'clock on the dial is exactly below the arch above.
I'm afraid the deceased was drunk and climbed up this archway, slipped and fell on the rocks and died."
"I think so too." Inspector Megure nodded in agreement.
"Also, his time of death was between 3:50 and 4:30!"
Maori Kogoro said seriously, "There are wounds on this man's face caused by a long needle. This means that he fell and the long needle just turned to the 30-point position."
"How many days have you guys been here?" Megure asked the kids.
"It's probably around 5:20." Mitsuhiko thought for a moment and said.
"Then this man was probably scratched at 4:30." Kogoro Mouri thought for a moment and said.
"Although the current situation seems to be like this, it is a murder case after all, so it is better to investigate it thoroughly."
Tang Ze spoke at the right time: "We will first find out the identity of the deceased, and then make any plans later."
"Yes." Officer Megure nodded after hearing this, then looked at Maori Kogoro and said, "Brother Maori, please send the children back first."
"Eh? Should I send it off?" Kogoro Mouri said in surprise.
"Didn't you come here specifically to pick someone up?"
Inspector Megure said unhappily, "Also, we've already preliminarily concluded it was an accident. All we need to do is confirm the identity of the deceased, and we've already roughly confirmed the identity of the deceased."
"Huh?" Maori Kogoro was surprised when he heard this: "Has it been confirmed?"
"It should be the painter."
Tang Ze said, "The deceased's hands were stained with very colorful paint, and there were also many traces of old paint on his hands. It doesn't look like it was accidentally stained."
"Okay, that's it. I won't bother you, the 'Sleeping Kogoro' this time." Mumu said with a smile, "I'll leave the children to you."
"Okay." Although Kogoro Mouri was a little reluctant, he knew that he was no longer needed in the current situation, so he finally agreed.
"You all heard it. Come on, I'll take you home." Kogoro Mouri called to the little ones next to him.
"Okay~"
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko responded immediately after hearing this, without any reluctance. On the contrary, Genta didn't say a word at all. His expression was indeed dazed and distressed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"ah!!!"
Suddenly, Genta yelled, startling the people around him. Maori Kogoro was even more frightened, and then he looked at Genta angrily and said, "What are you doing? Why are you yelling so loudly all of a sudden?"
“I finally remembered!!”
Yuan Tai said seriously, "I thought I had seen this uncle somewhere!
I remember he came to my house to buy wine before!"
"Really?!" Inspector Megure's expression brightened when he heard this: "Then Genta, come back with us, and we will go and ask your father."
"Great!" Yuan Tai cheered happily when he heard that he could go home in a police car, and then said goodbye to his friends.
Although Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were a little envious, they were sensible enough not to force themselves to follow, and went home under the leadership of Kogoro Mouri.
Megure and others brought Genta to his family's eel shop.
