Chapter 3181 3193 [Evil Plan]
"What are you talking about?"
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the strange appearance of the two detectives and went to look behind the stool: "Huh? Aren't these the two names on the door frame from before?"
Jiang Xia nodded and briefly told her about the chairs in the restaurant.
Suzuki Sonoko scratched her hairpin and suddenly thought of something. She looked at the round stool with "kachan" written on the back: "There is no seat for her in the restaurant, but there is one in the kitchen... Could this 'kachan' be the maid of the mayor's house? The name of the maid also starts with 'ka', and they often stay in the kitchen."
Hattori Heiji stroked his chin: "But children usually address adults by imitating other adults. The adults in her family would not call the maid directly 'maid', there should be other names."
Jiang Xia walked to another round stool and moved the light source closer: "There seems to be other words on the back of this round stool with 'chioni' written on it."
"!" Hattori Heiji and Conan came over and took a closer look. Sure enough, under the chioni, there was a string of faded and covered words - "dojiousan".
San is the same as the chan in kachan, both are titles, and the dojiou in front...
"Is this referring to 'loach'?" Conan suddenly remembered something, "I remember when we went to search the first floor before, Miss Xiaodu also drew a long thing on the door of 'chioni'. At that time, I thought it was an eel. But if it is a loach..."
"What a mess." Suzuki Sonoko felt a headache when she heard the riddle. When she read mystery novels before, she would turn over the riddles and read the romantic plots of heroes saving beauties directly, but now...
She could only try to fast forward manually: "These should not be related. There is a bird painted on Kachan's door. Maybe Miss Xiaodu just drew whatever she saw - children are like this, they just think of it."
When Mao Lilan heard this, she suddenly remembered something: "Could it be that Miss Xiaodu saw the bird on the golden screen and therefore painted the bird on the door? - I heard from the program director that the golden screen that was lost was embroidered with a picture of a egret."
Conan and Hattori Heiji squatted in front of the round stool, their minds were churning, but nothing seemed to come out: "Heron, bird, loach..."
Jiang Xia checked his watch, then glanced at them: "Many animals actually have connections to regions, such as tigers and Osaka, eagles and Fukuoka, carp and Hiroshima, and fish and Ryugu."
"!!" The two detectives were suddenly enlightened. They looked at each other, jumped up and rushed out.
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan looked at their backs, confused: "What's wrong?"
"Maybe he has thought of a clue." Jiang Xia picked up two fallen stools. "The reasoning on the pier just now was correct. The murderer should be among the four locals. Let's go back to the restaurant and keep an eye on them to avoid other situations."
Hearing this, Mao Lilan was not afraid, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
——Compared with the invisible and intangible "messenger of the underworld", if the murderer was those four living people, it would be much easier to deal with.
…
On the beach.
The completely dark sky was dimly lit up. Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at their watches and ran wildly under the starlight that had not yet faded: "6:10 in the morning... It has been more than 12 hours since Miss Taira's body was found."
Hattori Heiji clenched his fists: "If our reasoning is correct, those words must still be left on the beach!"
They ran along the coast all the way to the back of the island, but when they looked down, the beach was empty - the words "I am a messenger from the underworld" had quietly disappeared.
"How could this happen!" Hattori Heiji couldn't help but punch the sand, "The murderer must have taken the opportunity to run back and wipe it off!"
Conan was also anxious for a moment, but soon, he was certain about what he saw.
"Humph, I knew it." He pushed up his glasses and looked at a small footprint mixed in with other footprints on the beach. A flash of light flashed across the lens. "As long as it is a man-made trick, there will definitely be traces left - this is the evidence that exposes his method!"
Hattori Heiji looked at the footprint, and was pleasantly surprised at first, but then he sighed: "But this can only dispel the murderer's alibi, but it cannot confirm that he is the murderer... Without any evidence, it's no wonder Jiang Xia saw through it a long time ago, but never identified it."
Conan stood up from the footprints and smiled coldly: "If there is no evidence, then find a way to make him produce evidence."
The two looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.
Hattori Heiji turned around and looked at the woods behind him: "That's right, as long as we lead the criminal to the woods where the 'princess' is sleeping, the truth will be revealed."
…
In the woods.
Where the meager morning light cannot reach.
Curacao held his breath and hid behind a tree, looking at the two figures, one large and one small, on the beach from afar: "..." What are these two guys plotting? The atmosphere is really scary.
"Also, why do I feel like they're looking towards the woods?... They don't know there are people here, do they?"
Curacao looked at the two people suspiciously, and carefully analyzed the light and shadow on both sides, and finally came to the conclusion that Conan and Hattori Heiji should not be able to see her, but just happened to look in this direction.
"…But why are they looking this way?"
Curacao did not relax because of this, but became more vigilant. She did not dare to stay any longer, and while the two men lowered their heads and whispered again, she quietly left the woods and returned to the villa.
…
Except for the four crew members who stayed together all the time, everyone else was doing their own thing. The crew was already scattered, and Curacao's brief departure did not cause any disturbance.
Soon, everyone except Hattori Heiji and Conan gathered in the restaurant.
The program director always felt that the room was emptier now than when they first gathered together. He looked around and then remembered something: "Where are the big-name detective and the little kid?"
"Here."
The door was pushed open and Hattori Heiji and Conan walked in.
They winked at Jiang Xia quietly, then turned to the others and smiled confidently: "We have completely figured out the details of these two murders."
Everyone: “!”
Suzuki Sonoko was a little skeptical: "Is this true?" Just now, this Osaka black guy looked at a loss, how come he suddenly understood everything? He couldn't be guessing blindly.
Hattori Heiji said mysteriously: "Of course it's true. The identity of the murderer, the murderer's methods... everything has been seen through by me."
The crew members asked excitedly: "Who is the murderer?"
Hattori Heiji: "I can't tell you now."
Everyone: “?”
