Chapter 364 Investigate to the bottom of things!



Guangyou nodded helplessly.

Everyone says Conan is Death's favorite son, but he's too much of a favorite; he doesn't even get a break from his duties.

Therefore, Guangyou usually enjoys the time when he doesn't have any cases, just like he finally gets a short holiday after working so many days.

It is truly invaluable.

Ai looked at Conan as if he were a rare animal, and said regretfully, "If it were before, I would definitely dissect him to see his anatomy."

She was genuinely curious about the Grim Reaper's body, since even within the organization, deaths weren't that frequent.

"Another murder?"

Kōyū nodded and then shook his head: "Everything looks like an accident, but it's impossible to make such a mistake at a resort. Conan also said there was a problem, but no one knows what the problem is."

Ai shook her head and lowered her head to continue eating the dishes she had just brought back.

The food tastes great, and the price reflects that; lobster and abalone are all-you-can-eat here.

There's a daily limit on double-headed abalone, and you can only get unlimited five-headed abalone, but that's still pretty good.

Many people lost their appetite upon seeing the dead body and went straight back to their villas to rest.

After finishing their meal, Guangyou and his group left the resort. The crime scene next door had been cordoned off with warning tape, and only a few police officers were still conducting their investigation.

Harusaka Poplar was among them. One of the officers walked up to him and said, "Inspector, I think this case was just an accident. Is there really any need to investigate further?"

Chun Shang Yang Shu frowned, shook his head, and said, "Yes, I have a feeling it's not that simple. You know the power behind this resort. How could there be snakes, especially venomous ones? I think there's definitely something wrong."

The police officer nodded in agreement, but also said with some helplessness, "That's true, but apart from the victim's fingerprints, we didn't find any useful clues at the scene."

As Conan passed by the police officers, he overheard their conversation. He couldn't help but glance at Haruka Yoshiki again, then nodded to himself, saying, "Indeed, great minds think alike. This Inspector Haruka is no ordinary officer."

Spring Poplar stroked his chin, pondering, "But where should we begin our investigation?"

...

Back at the villa, after having dinner, we took a five-minute walk outside. We could also go swimming or soak in a hot spring.

When Kōyū put on his swim trunks and draped a bathrobe up to the third floor, Ai and the other two were already soaking in the hot spring on the third floor.

Ai, with a towel on her head, sat quietly to the side, enjoying herself with her eyes closed.

Sonoko and Ran were discussing what had just happened.

The reason they didn't go to the hot spring in the courtyard was because they weren't sure if there were any poisonous snakes there.

Even though Sonoko didn't believe that such a mistake could happen at her resort, she still wanted to be cautious for the sake of her life.

The swimming pool and the artificial hot spring are separated by a short distance. The third floor is spacious and also has facilities such as sauna and shower rooms.

There's also a bar counter on the side, with some complimentary items, such as reasonably priced red wine, white wine, and concentrated fruit juice...

Of course, there are also paid options, and wines from many of the world's major wineries can be found here: Lafite, Latour, Mouton Rothschild, Haut-Brion...

Anyway, the price isn't going down any further; one bottle of wine equals the total cost of this trip.

The three of them didn't drink red wine, and there were only a few glasses of juice placed by the hot spring.

Most of the wall on the third floor facing Mount Fuji is made of one-way transparent glass, and the exterior of the building is also illuminated with white lights to enhance the one-way transparency of the glass at night.

Night was approaching, and only a final sliver of golden light remained on the horizon.

The stars in the sky were already visible to the naked eye, and Mount Fuji came into view through the glass at dusk.

The reason it's expensive is because of its natural scenery.

Real estate developers can build a skyscraper in the center of a city, giving you a panoramic view of the entire city, but they cannot build natural mountains or rivers in the center of a city.

Guangyou went into the water, swam for a while, and looked up to see this beautiful scene.

The same mountain looks different from different angles.

I had already seen the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji when I was looking at the twin towers, but this time it had a completely different feel to it.

Beautiful, magnificent, a masterpiece of nature...

Mount Fuji stands majestically on the island nation of Japan, and some angry young people might lament that Japan doesn't deserve this beautiful scenery.

"ton ton ton ton ton"

Guangyou leaned against the edge of the pool, reached out and took a sip of the iced cola.

Drinking too much cola is bad for your health, but... it's really delicious and satisfying.

You shouldn't soak in a hot spring for too long; about fifteen minutes is enough.

It was about time, so Ai and the other two got up to take a shower to avoid irritating their skin with substances in the hot spring water.

After swimming for a while, Guangyou also went upstairs to take a shower.

It's now very late. You can choose to go to the resort's central lounge to watch the latest blockbuster, or you can choose to host a small barbecue party in your own villa.

You can get all the ingredients from the resort; they're still free. The only requirement is that you can't waste any.

After exercising, you always need to replenish your energy. Kōrō is just something to crave; he doesn't want to drink kōrō like water.

The villa's refrigerator was empty, containing only a few bottles of water and beverages—items that could be stored for a long time.

"By the way, where's Conan?"
