"Ah-what! The body is gone!" The next morning, facing the speechless look of Inspector Megure, Maori Kogoro shouted, "How is it possible? I was clearly guarding outside the door the whole time!"
"The blood and other things have already coagulated, the safe in the room has been opened, and all the gems have fallen out, one by one of you--!" Inspector Megure led a team of forensic police officers to collect evidence in the room again, scolding his unreliable subordinates.
Sato Takagi and others stood aside awkwardly.
Last night's night watch was on a shift basis, and because Kogoro Mori was also going to join in, they were also arranged to join in.
I didn't expect that when I came here at eight o'clock this morning, I would see a detective dozing off with his head down and an empty room.
The missing body is a big problem. Now the family of the deceased and the Suzuki Group have called to inquire about the outcome of the matter. The police cannot justify themselves in this way.
"There are two floors of rooms in total, and all the residents are staying in the hotel." A police officer came over to report, "but we haven't searched the rooms yet."
Officer Megure sighed and asked Takagi Wataru, "Didn't they say that Mizukami-kun is here too? Where is he?"
Takagi Shigeru scratched his head: "Because the murder weapon was found in Officer Mizukami's room, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not participate in the case this time, and Officer Matsuda was guarding his door."
Inspector Megure moved his lips, not knowing what to say to express his broken heart. After a while he said, "Go search the body first."
In the room, Ryoumiya Kazuki and Morofushi Keimitsu sat facing each other, the latter fidgeting with his head lowered.
"Mr. Mizukami, I really didn't know that you had already investigated the case and were planning to set a trap to lure you into it." Morobushi Jingguang said in a low voice, "After all..."
"Do you really think I'm mentally ill?" Ryoumiya Kazuki took many deep breaths and managed to get through it.
Because he was with the police the whole time, he could only send a text message quietly during his walk, without explaining the cause and effect.
Who would have known that the usually reliable Morobushi Jingguang could have misinterpreted the meaning like this, and even thought that he was breaking the law and not in his right mind, and with a worried old mother in her heart, she helped him to cover the rear.
This guy is a glorious policeman who graduated from the police academy. How come he became so corrupt after hanging around in Yokohama for a while? If Toru Amuro knew about this, he would probably cry...
All the people in hiding were silent.
Suzumiya Kazuki said, "Are you sure you put the body away properly? I hope there are no mistakes this time."
Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded, a little hesitant: "How do you know who did it? What if he was wrongly accused..."
Ryoumiya Heshu rubbed his temples and explained it briefly to Morobushi Jingguang.
At that time, Suzumiya Kazuki asked the system to create a gem for the winery vest in order to let the gem fall into the hands of the Suzuki Group and follow the route of the Phantom Thief Kid to perfect the script.
Everything else went smoothly, except that the organization codenamed Animals, after being tormented by the winery's vests, finally realized that they had captured King Yan, and they chose to run away without hesitation, leaving the winery's vests alone in Singapore.
——No wonder it’s not as famous as the winery, it’s really embarrassing.
Suzumiya Kazuki had no choice but to auction the gem, which was sold to the Suzuki Group. Then word spread that the gem was related to "Pandora", forcing the zoo to take action.
Yoshioka Yota was the gemstone buyer from the Suzuki Group, but after returning to China, he did not go directly back to the company. Instead, he wanted to take a public travel during his last business trip.
Ryomiya and Shu originally thought that they should be extremely cautious when purchasing precious gemstones, but they really didn't expect to run into Yoshiko Yota in advance. Not only did they lose their lives, but they also disrupted his plans.
Well - now it seems that I also got a member of the zoo as a gift.
The killer killed Queen Mother Ji Gangyang and planned to escape with the gems. However, he was discovered too quickly and could not unlock the safe in a short time. He planned to take advantage of the police investigation to strike again.
At that time, he was among the crowd of onlookers, watching Kogoro Mouri's random reasoning with a smug look on his face. He planned to sneak into the air conditioner's outdoor unit at night and replace the gems.
——This is exactly why Suzumiya Kazuki asked Morofushi Kagemitsu to open the safe. He wanted to set a trap and wait for the enemy to take them away. He could also perform a show in front of the gem in advance.
Unexpectedly, Morobushi Jingguang made such a huge misunderstanding. He had no choice but to change another route and throw the body directly back under the killer's bed.
The unlucky killer did not return home all night last night, wandering outside in the heavy snow. He probably wanted to take the opportunity to steal the gems, but the police were on shift one after another, so he was left there.
In the end, his house was stolen by Morobushi Kagemitsu, who had supernatural powers as a cover.
——I guess if I didn’t get scared to death when I returned to the room in the morning, it would be the least of my worries.
"I've heard a little bit about the organization that guy belongs to. He has a spider tattooed on his wrist, which is the symbol of the organization. His goal is to get the gems auctioned by the Suzuki Group." Suzumiya Kazuki said, "The reason why the murder weapon appeared in my room is because the hotel's trash can is placed next to the bed, just below the air conditioner. The two neighboring houses are easy to climb, so they just threw the weapon in through the gap of the outdoor unit."
Zhu Fu Jingguang only went to the crime scene. It was dark and he didn't notice any details. He said awkwardly, "Then... it should be correct."
"But Mr. Mizukami, how do you know that there are gems in the safe?"
Suzumiya Kazuki calmly took out his mobile phone. The news headline was #Suzuki Group spent 30 billion to purchase a mysterious gem, which will be exhibited early next month#.
"The person's identity was found out yesterday. He is the person in charge of purchasing gemstones for the Suzuki Group."
"The code a10 is probably the beginning of the word animal. The deceased must have seen the tattoo on his wrist and wanted to leave a death message, so he wrote it like this, but it was blurred by the blood flow."
Just as the two finished their conversation, there was a knock on the door, and Matsuda Jinpei's voice came from outside: "Officer Mizukami, Officer Megure is here."
The two looked at each other, and Morofu Jingguang made a gesture and consciously took apart the air conditioner's outdoor unit and flipped it out.
Ryoumiya Kazuki opened the door and asked, "What's going on now?"
Matsuda Jinpei frowned, "The body is missing. Officer Megure is leading people to search every house. Your room will also be checked by the police later."
The implication was to remind him to put away the dagger that he shouldn't carry.
Suzumiya Kazuki nodded calmly: "Let's go and take a look."
At this time, Inspector Megure had already finished searching the first floor with Kogoro Mori, Wataru Takagi and others. After going up to the second floor, they suddenly heard someone scream, "Oh my God! Why is there so much blood in this room!"
"Hurry, hurry, that guy is coming out!"
Everyone was shocked and rushed up the stairs. However, they saw a tall and long-legged man with a black eye patch and a badminton-like hairstyle standing in the corridor on the second floor. He was holding a bloody hand and a knife, and was fighting fiercely. However, it seemed that it was because of the angle, and the knife did not hurt the man at all.
Seeing the police rushing over, Gojo Satoru shook the suspect he had just caught and said, "Hey, are you looking for him?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang cleared his throat, pretended to be an innocent passerby and walked out, explaining: "I just smelled blood coming from this room, so I was going to open the door to take a look, but I didn't expect to see this man rushing out with a knife. Fortunately, this gentleman was quick and subdued him."
He patted his chest in an exaggerated manner, pretending to be very frightened.
Jinpei Matsuda paused as he held up his sunglasses.
The killer choked and cursed, "I clearly locked the door! Is there really a ghost..."
The murdered person suddenly appeared under your bed. Who could bear such a terrifying thing?
Not to mention that when he was about to destroy the body, the locked door was suddenly opened by someone. Before he could see clearly what happened, the people outside started shouting. He wanted to jump down from the stairs but it was too late as he was picked up by a tall man.
Miwako Sato rushed forward and elbowed the man, pinning him to the ground and handcuffing him. She then said to Gojo Satoru, "You are in danger! Next time you encounter a criminal, be careful to protect your own safety, especially since you can't see him!"
Gojo Satoru touched his eye patch subconsciously and chuckled: "You policemen are really - very interesting."
Takagi Wataru rushed into the room and quickly shouted, "Inspector Megure! The missing body is here!"
…
"So this man not only killed people and stole treasures, but also wanted to frame Brother Mizukami?" Inspector Megure frowned, looking at the killer who was looking at everyone with hatred, "Can his identity be verified?"
"They don't look like Japanese. They might be here for the jewelry of the Suzuki Group." Suzumiya Kazuki led the conversation. "I remember the files in the bureau also recorded that there was an organization that specialized in stealing gems."
"Isn't that the phantom thief Kid?" Inspector Megure was a little surprised, "This guy doesn't look like him."
"...Maybe they are competitors." Suzumiya Kazuki's mouth twitched.
"Well, let's take him to the police station for investigation." Inspector Megure sighed, "This case is the most outrageous one I've ever handled. He was so brave to go back and steal the corpse. Brother Maori is really something. He didn't even know someone went in!"
"I didn't steal it! Someone took it and put it under my bed on purpose!" the killer yelled, "This must be a superpower!"
Conan Edogawa also always felt that this matter was full of cattyness. If he came to get the gems, why didn't he pick up the gems that fell on the ground, but instead took the body away?
He went downstairs alone, ready to go to the crime scene for further observation.
Matsuda Jinpei walked up to Morobushi Kagemitsu, holding a notebook in his hand. He took a deep breath and said, "Sir, please take a note and talk to me."
Zhu Fu Jingguang was startled and asked subconsciously, "Officer, why are you wearing sunglasses indoors?"
…
Although the killer insisted that he didn't know why the body ran under the bed on its own, his act of using a knife to try to destroy the body was enough to convict him.
Not to mention how to put the knife into Tetsuya Mizukami's room, Conan Edogawa can easily explain it to everyone through Kogoro Mouri.
"The water police officer is innocent in this incident, but it is still hard to understand why the murderer did not take the gem away." The sleeping Mouri Kogoro explained the whole process, and at the end he criticized the unreasonable decoration of the hotel.
"The code A10 is indeed related to the organization that stole the gems." Officer Megure called the data manager in the bureau and quickly found the overseas organization. He said to everyone, "This case may have to be transferred to the international side. It can't be handled first. The gems of the Suzuki Group will probably be detained for the time being until this case is closed."
Yumi Miyamoto pulled Miike Naeko to the corner and whispered, "So should we also take a bath during our vacation?"
"The water police officer is about to resign. How can we hold this welcome party?" Miike Naeko tapped Miyamoto Yumi's head. "It's all your fault."
"There's nothing we can do about it..."
The police officers put the gems back into the safe. The pure and large purple gems became extremely eye-catching under the refraction of the sunlight, which made people sigh at the wealth of the Suzuki Group.
A few people were discussing about leaving this lousy hot spring hotel, but Shui Shang Che suddenly stopped two police officers who were about to move the safe and whispered to them, "Can I see what the gem looks like?"
His voice was a little choked: "I just take a look."
The author has something to say: It's my fault that I didn't explain it well before, which made it seem a bit confusing. So I posted this chapter as soon as I finished writing it to supplement it.
Chapter 33 has been revised a bit, with some details added, which should make it a little smoother.
