"Investigate thoroughly and get to the bottom of this!"
When the phrase "spring is on the poplar tree" reached Guangyou's ears, he couldn't help but cheer for him.
Guangyou had heard what was said before, and just thinking about it, he knew how difficult it was to withstand the pressure from those people above.
If you do well, they think it's your duty; if you do poorly, it's your fault.
Even if there is nothing wrong with this matter, even if their decision is wrong.
Perhaps he made a mistake, but Guangyou felt that he did nothing wrong.
On the one hand, it leaves no room for doubt in the case; on the other hand, if it is a murder case, it will not allow the suspect to continue to live happily outside.
On the other hand, it can restore the resort's reputation and leave no stain.
From any perspective, Kōyū admires this police inspector.
Chun Shangyang squatted down, shining a flashlight on the scene, and asked the police officer next to him, "Besides the known ring, love letter, and beer can, is there anything else at the scene?"
“That’s all.” The officer flipped through the police handbook, looking at the records, and said, “We asked Ms. Mitsui, who came with the victim, and she said that their relationship was very stable and there were no arguments or anything like that.”
"His girlfriend..."
Spring Poplar fell into deep thought, then suddenly turned her head and asked, "Is it possible that, apart from emotional ties, she had some other conflict with the victim?"
The officer shook his head and replied, "There shouldn't be any. Both of them come from wealthy families, so there's no financial conflict between them."
"Back to square one."
Spring poplar was not discouraged; he had encountered this kind of thing many times before and had developed some resistance to it.
...
Their conversation was clearly heard by Mitsuyu and Conan, who were not far away.
Conan crouched down, head down, deep in thought. His feet were itching to juggle the ball, hoping it would help him think more clearly.
Guangyou's eyes narrowed slightly: "What your girlfriend said may not be true. The only clues we have so far are the beer can, the ring, and the love letter."
While the two were still brainstorming, Kōyū suddenly felt a jolt in his pocket. He took out his phone and, looking at the message icon, knew without even opening it that it was from Ai or Ran.
The gist of it is probably asking where he is, or where Conan is, or something like that.
"Let's go first, we can think about it later."
Kōyū patted Conan on the shoulder and then walked towards the resort. He had been delayed for so long and still hadn't filled his stomach. He hadn't even accomplished his goal for this trip.
There were quite a few people at the resort at this time, most of them going to the hot springs on the third floor.
Many people also come to the restaurant for late-night snacks. The buffet is no longer available; instead, various snacks and main dishes are served on the spot.
After taking some barbecue charcoal, ingredients, and barbecue sauce and other condiments, Guangyou carried the bag and hummed a little tune as he walked towards the villa.
Several people gathered in the living room to watch TV and play board games, such as "Resort Ludo," to pass the time.
According to Guangyou, this kind of resort is most suitable for young couples. They can play outside during the day, have dinner in the evening, soak in a hot spring, and then replenish their energy and play games.
To be honest, the villa's living room does have a lot of different types of board games, so it's definitely not boring.
Do you guys eat barbecue?
After asking Ai and the others, Kōyū picked up the materials and headed towards the backyard.
The villa's backyard is lush with greenery, a beautiful sight with vibrant flowers and willows.
There are also streetlights made of stone on both sides of the stone road.
The warm light wasn't very bright, but it was enough to make people see the backyard clearly.
Opposite the hot spring is an open-air stone table.
Not far from the stone table is a barbecue grill, not as long as the grills used for Chinese-style lamb skewers, and it doesn't take up much space.
The ingredients for grilling had already been marinated, saving Guangyou a lot of trouble.
The charcoal used for the barbecue is also smokeless, so that the thick smoke from the barbecue won't make others mistakenly think that the villa is on fire.
Ai and her two friends also came to the backyard. After soaking in the hot spring, they felt a bit hungry, so they decided to have a barbecue to satisfy their hunger.
"Wow, such a wide variety!" Sonoko glanced at the dazzling array of ingredients on the stone table, her mouth watering.
She wasn't as spoiled as some scions of wealthy families, who believed that cattle had to grow up listening to classical music to match their delicate mouths.
She's not picky; as long as it tastes good, that's fine with her.
"Barbecue is high in calories." Ai walked to Kouyu's side, turned to the side as if she wasn't talking to him. "Do you have noodles? I want to eat scallion noodles."
"Yes, I'll cook it for you later." Kōyū turned his head and smiled at her, then continued, "Ai, could you wash those vegetables again for me?"
Ai nodded and said, "Okay."
Xiaolan and Yuanzi couldn't just stand by and watch, so they also joined in washing the vegetables.
It is often said that many hands make light work and that many people can make a big fire; these old sayings are certainly true.
With the help of the three people, the preparations were completed quickly.
Once everything was ready, we lit a fire and prepared to start barbecuing.
Is barbecuing difficult?
It's not difficult; the key is controlling the heat and time, as well as the combination of sauces.
Kōyū suddenly realized that someone seemed to be missing from the field and asked, "Hey, hasn't Conan come back yet?"
"He's back. As soon as he got back, he locked himself in his room. I wonder what that kid is up to."
Yuanzi sat on the stone bench, her hand supporting her chin, staring intently at the barbecue grill.
Guangyou also found out what that guy was doing now. He didn't even eat dinner properly, and now he's not even going to have a proper meal.
