Chapter 313 Unsolved Cases
"It's like this. I received a letter from someone who is dead." Hattori Heiji put down the fork in his hand and said, "The sender is someone my mother knew, who was the president of a design company in Tokyo. , called Wakamatsu, I have met him several times in the past, but I heard that he was murdered to death in a villa in Karuizawa last month."

"You said he was killed?" Mori Kogoro didn't expect so many things to happen in one day, two murder cases came to his door.

"Yes, I asked Mr. Otaki from the Osaka Prefectural Police Station to help me investigate. The day of the incident happened to be the birthday of Mr. Wakamatsu and his wife. They were having a party at the villa. The local police seemed to think that someone broke in to steal money. Mr. Wakamatsu happened to come across the villa, so he killed Mr. Wakamatsu on the spot." Hattori Heiji didn't know what was going on, so he could only tell what he knew.

"But why did that person send a letter to Hattori?" Xiaolan looked at Hattori who found a letter, wondering.

"Could it be a letter sent before his death?" Sera Masumi also put forward an idea of ​​his own.

Muzi was silently thinking, if the letter had been mailed before his death, then Japan's courier system is really bad, it has been more than half a month, and the letter was sent to Hattori Heiji after a murder case In hand, but the letter could not have been sent before the case, otherwise the letter would be a murder notice. According to Ke Xue's law, this letter must be sent by Hattori Heiji before the case happened. Received, and then Hattori Heiji may drag Conan to investigate this case together. In short, it will not take so long. The reason why it took so long must be because the letter was not made by the murderer, but something Others who know the truth want to entrust Hattori Heiji, a free tool man, to find out the truth and bring the real murderer to justice.

Thinking of this, Muzi silently ate a mouthful of the not-so-delicious curry, but it’s hard to say now, if the protagonist is invited over, there will definitely be another case, maybe the person who sent the letter saw that Hattori Heiji did not come over for a long time , thinking that Hattori Heiji did not accept this commission, and he arranged some tricks to kill the real murderer of Mr. Wakamatsu.

As Muzi expected, Hattori Heiji denied it, "No, the postmark was stamped on the envelope ten days after the incident, so it should not have been sent by him himself. Although it was signed by Mr. Kohei Wakamatsu, the content seemed to be that Mr. Wakamatsu was killed. written by the murderer."

"Murderer?" Conan was surprised.

"Hmm." Hattori Heiji took out the letter inside the envelope and said, "The beginning of the letter is written like this, dear Mr. Hattori Heiji, because I really want to meet you, a high school detective, so I want to confess to you The crimes I have committed, however, even if I meet face to face, I still doubt that you can see me clearly? I say this because I am a fictional existence made up by you human beings without permission. There is a way to really see the phantom. If you still want to meet me, on the next full moon night, I will wait for you at the house of the man who killed the man. The signature is the victim Mr. Kohei Wakamatsu in his hometown in Osaka Address, besides these," Hattori Heiji tore the envelope down, poured something in his hand, Hattori Heiji picked it up and showed it to everyone, it was a key, "There was also a The key to that house."

"Then, did you go to the house where the ghost-like guy was waiting for you?" Mori Kogoro looked at Hattori Heiji and asked, they were still very curious about what happened next.

Hattori Heiji shook his head, embarrassed to say that he was planning to go, but accidentally caught a cold, so he didn't make it, causing Kazuha and his classmates to go to see it together.

"I called three friends to go together, because they said it was like a test of courage. After we went there, we found that although it was only a temporary residence, it was still very beautiful. In the end, the test of courage turned into a mansion tour. Because there was no answer after knocking on the door for a long time, we used the key to get in, so we went to the bathroom to have a look, and found a man with long hair sitting there!” He Ye Said with lingering fear, his eyes turned a little silver gray of fear.

"Then, have you talked to that person?" Shiliang Zhenchun felt that this matter was not that simple.

"Of course not, because the lights went out shortly after we saw that person, and when we were discussing whether to call the police, we heard a strange clicking sound and then the power was restored again, but sitting there That person has disappeared without a trace!"

"Hmph, it should have disappeared without a trace after turning off the power with the remote control." Mori Kogoro felt that someone was pretending to be a ghost, and there was no need to make such a fuss at all.

"Well, if that guy is the only one who disappeared, I don't have to travel all the way to Tokyo." Hattori Heiji said, looking at this unreliable old man, and then his expression became serious, "Because that guy disappeared In the bathroom, a piece of paper was left."

"Paper?" Mori Kogoro already had a disdainful expression, and was about to see what else this kid Hattori Heiji could say.

"A paragraph of text was typed out with a typewriter, and what disappeared was only my own body, not the text."

"Text? What does that mean?" Sera Masumi looked at Hattori Heiji, really puzzled by that paragraph of text.

"The wall that the guy is leaning against, near the tile near the head, seems to have words carved with something like a knife, right?" Hattori Heiji asked Kazuha who had been to the villa.

"Yeah, yeah." He Ye answered undecidedly, "There are three English letters engraved, EYE, in very large characters. The person disappeared, but the engraved words and the piece of paper did not disappear."

Eye, eyes.

"So, could it be exchanged with tiles without engravings from other places?" Mori Kogoro put forward a new opinion.

"There are indeed a lot of scratches on the back of those tiles. I thought so at first, but the color of those tiles becomes lighter and lighter from top to bottom. If you really use the tiles below and the top If the tiles were swapped, the color difference would be immediately noticeable."

"Did Brother Heiji also go to see the tiles there?" Conan asked, not because he didn't believe Kazuha, but because the fellow detective Hattori Heiji knew some principles.

Hattori Heiji replied unhappily, "I was going to go, but the house was being closely watched by those workers because of the reconstruction. I didn't have a chance to get close, so I didn't see it."

"Then, do you know how long the power outage will last?" Conan asked again, and the name who was drinking water glanced at him, but he didn't stop him.

"I think it's about 5 minutes." He Ye bent down to answer Conan's question.

"From this point of view, it should have been prepared in advance, prepared tiles with engraved characters, tiles of the same color, swapped in the dark, those tiles with inscriptions were taken away by that guy, this reasoning is very reasonable, right? "Mori Kogoro asked, but he himself couldn't figure it out, "What is this ordinary method doing?"

"You generally think so," Hattori Heiji said, "but the next thing is that when Mr. Wakamatsu was assassinated in Karuizawa, he was also in the bathroom with the same tiles, but when his body was first discovered. , there should be a message written by Mr. Wakamatsu with his own blood, but after the police arrived, it disappeared inexplicably."

"His pre-death message disappeared?" Xiaolan repeated softly in disbelief.

"Because Mr. Wakamatsu's fingers were stained with blood, and it was obvious that he had written something on it. Don't you think it's strange?" The more Heiji Hattori talked about it, the more interesting he found this case.

"It should be that the murderer sneaked back to the scene of the crime and wiped off the handwriting." This was the first reaction of Mori Kogoro, and it was also the reaction of most people.

"But, if this is the case, shouldn't there be a blood reaction on the tiles near Mr. Wakamatsu's finger?" Hattori Heiji asked, how could he not think of things that Mori Kogoro could think of? We must continue to investigate.

"Then, could it be the same as what He Ye has seen, with tiles that are not stained with blood?" Xiaolan proposed another direction.

"At that time, Mr. Wakamatsu was re-placing the tiles in the bathroom of that house himself. The adhesive on it didn't look dry. Of course, it may have been replaced, but the tiles were the same as what He Ye saw. From top to bottom, from deep to shallow, if it is exchanged, it will be worn out immediately." Hattori Heiji also thinks that what Xiaolan said may happen, but when the truth is not thoroughly investigated, everything No guesswork can become fact.

When they were talking, Muzi just finished eating what was ordered on the plate, and said, "No matter what the reason is, I don't think this matter is over yet, the letter may not be sent by the murderer, it may also be someone who knows something The person who wrote this letter in order to attract your attention is to let you investigate this matter clearly. From the beginning to the end, such traces are still very strong. It is possible that no further action was taken. I feel that you can't help much, and I'm ready to do it myself. If you want to go there, you should go there quickly. In short, the matter is not completely over here.

Since the case is still suspicious, some people will not give up investigating the truth of the matter. Assuming that the letter was not sent by the murderer, then if the murderer is aware of this matter, an innocent life will die again. If the letter is true It was sent by the murderer, and maybe there will be other people hiding in the dark waiting to give the murderer a fatal blow. In this case, an innocent person will walk into the dark night, which is not what you want to see anyway. "

Conan looked at Muzi's clean plate, and the corner of his mouth twitched. What was this guy doing when they were seriously thinking about the case?Is curry that delicious?
Hattori Heiji's face showed some seriousness, "I thought so too, so when I came here this time to go to Mr. Wakamatsu's home in Tokyo, I wanted to ask about the details of the case at that time, and I already asked my mother to say hello, why? So, do you want to go there together?"

Muzi shook his head honestly, "I won't go there, you go," Muzi took out his mobile phone, looked at a message on it, and said, "I have something to do this afternoon, so I don't have time to go with you."

Conan's eyes lit up for a moment, and he felt that being able to get to Kiko Aoyama's place would definitely make this case much more interesting. It would be fine if there was Hattori in the case. , I still don't know what her real purpose is, and I still don't want to come with that guy Qingshan Muzi, although, she may not allow herself to follow.

So Conan said in a emerald voice, "Then we'll go with Brother Hattori." He looked at Hiroki Sawada and said, "Chenchen is free this afternoon, do you want to go together?"

"I won't go." Sawada Hiroki also shook his head and refused. His sister didn't go, and he didn't have any fun in the past, and he didn't feel safe, so he still didn't go. "I'll stay here this afternoon." Let's go home, I haven't written my homework yet."

The corner of Conan's mouth twitched again, you are too careless to make this excuse, who doesn't know that your homework writing speed is not much slower than him and Haibara, so just say it if you don't want to go.

Hattori Heiji originally wanted to persuade Muzi to go with him, but he didn't expect Conan to intervene, implying that he should stop persuading him. Thinking of the identity of the woman, Hattori Heiji felt that he knew something, so he dismissed the idea.

"Then, can I go with you too?" Shiliang Masumi was also very interested in this case and wanted to follow it.

"Sorry, I have already agreed that only five people will go there. If Muzi doesn't go, there is no need to make another phone call. This uncle and I can find out the truth of the case, so I won't bother you Yes." Hattori Heiji immediately refused, saying that although there was such a layer of relatives, Muko Aoyama did not clearly admit that this was a relative, so it is better to be vigilant, after all, she is checking the information of Kudo Shinichi, without her, she and It would be more convenient for Kudo to discuss.

"Oh?" Although he was upset, Shiliang Zhenchun also knew that this meant a clear rejection.

"That's good. Do you want Zhenzumi to come with me to see where we live?" Miyano Akemi suggested at this time. It just so happened that Muzi had something to tell Zhenzun, such as the previous misunderstanding.

"Okay." Shiliang Zhenchun was still a little upset, but it was obvious that the matter of the aunt was more important.

 I don’t want to write about the silent 15-minute movie version. It seems that there is nothing to write about. Let’s write about the No. 11 striker. When the time comes, I’ll write it out before writing the movie version. Let’s go to the movie version together. There are so many people. lively
