Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 594 Snow

"Have you found it yet?"

The information about finding the murdered girl was the next day, and I found a casual bar through the girl's necklace pendant, because it happened to be a small gift for the girls in the store.

The girl seems to be a girl hired by this bar.

When Gao Cheng arrived at the scene, police officer Mao Li happened to be there.

"MIKE? What's your real name?"

"I don't know, she was hired by the former store manager," the sommelier said reluctantly to Gao Cheng, "One day I come to work on a whim, and leave after getting paid."

"That's it," Maori said helplessly, "I heard from other girls that they always write things in their notebooks, filled with words like 'I want to die' and 'what will happen after I die', I can be sure that the suicide note is hers. I wrote it myself..."

"Any more?"

"A nearby Internet cafe, registered under the pseudonym 'San Mao Mao', I only know that she often buys cup noodles, and when she leaves, she looks at a photo of Bai Ye..."

Molly sighed with some headache.

"Now there is no matching application for missing persons. I don't know if there are any family members."

"Where is that website?" Gao Cheng looked at the chatting and laughing bar girls. The death of one person didn't seem to have any impact on this place.

"Ah, that's right," Mao Li suddenly remembered, "Yesterday when we were preparing to investigate, we found that the suicide website was suddenly closed, but we have already found out the website administrator and the address, and Detective Kido is going to take a look together ?"

"It's too time-consuming. Let me know when you have any news. I will go to the Supervision Hospital next time."

Gao Cheng took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the girl left at the signature column of the bar. The girl on it looked very happy.

Homelessness, running away from home... This is a topic that Sanmao Mao and Matsukura Hua can barely get in touch with. If they met through social networking, they might leave relevant clues, but the suicide website is on the Internet. It was suddenly closed while the police were investigating.

Maybe that webmaster already knows something.

"Xiao Ai," Gao Cheng called Xiao Ai, "Are you in the office now?"

"I'm monitoring the hospital."

"Eh?"

"The compositional identification seems to have a result," Xiao Ai stood by the corridor, looking at Dr. Sancheng who was talking to his colleagues in the office, "Your forensic doctor just called the office again..."

"What is my forensic doctor?"

Gao Cheng frowned.

"I'm going to the hospital now and tell them that I found the place where the murdered girl worked. I only know a pseudonym of 'Sanmao Mao', which may also be an online name."

"Sanmao... a cat?"

It was the third time for Gao Cheng to visit the Tokyo Metropolitan Supervision Hospital. He put on a work permit and entered the office of the anatomy class. He saw Xiao Ai and San Cheng chatting together, looking quite harmonious.

"How's it going?"

"The appraisal side has already brought over the ingredient list." After seeing Gao Cheng, Sancheng quickly took out a document, "I found this after comparing."

Gao Cheng picked up a piece of identification information about the hot spring water quality: "Is there a deer hot spring?"

"When the Philippine Sea plate sinks below Honshu, it will bring up a large amount of seawater. The seawater turns into water vapor due to the heat of the mantle, and when it rises to the surface, it becomes a hot spring. This Yulu hot spring is one of the few in the world. The salt concentration is [-]% of seawater. Twice, and closer to the ingredient ratio on the ingredient list than seawater..."

Sancheng smiled lightly and took out a promotional poster of Youlu Hot Spring Resort: "And there is this, venison with extremely high glycogen content, how about it?"

"venison?"

Gao Cheng took the poster, read the identification form carefully, and looked at Sancheng with slightly wide eyes: "So you found the exact location?"

He thought it was the seaside, but he was completely wrong.

"That is to say, the last place San Mao Mao went to may be the Deer Hot Spring, where he ate his last dinner before being killed. As long as the specific location is confirmed, we can start investigating from nearby..."

"No, it's not good!" The intern suddenly ran into the office in a panic, took a breath and said anxiously, "The dean just contacted the police station, and it seems that they are planning to give up and continue the investigation!"

"Eh? Why? Finally got another clue..."

"It is said that it is confirmed that the suicide note was left by me, and the application for tracing cannot be matched... The victim is alone, and the Sato family wants to close the case as soon as possible, so the police station plans to handle it as a forced suicide case. The murderer is Sato Zhengyi!"

"How can this be?"

Everyone in the anatomy class turned pale instantly.

"But didn't the Maori police officer go to investigate the suicide webmaster?"

"I heard it was the idea of ​​the higher up..."

"It's not surprising," an old forensic doctor walked into the office and said, "The police still have a lot of big cases at hand. For this kind of troublesome suicide case, of course, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Everyone can be happy if they don't see it..."

"But what about Songcanghua?" Sancheng tightened his fingers, as long as he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the remains of the girl Sanmao again, "There is another girl who may be imprisoned...Little Sanmao failed to save her when she was alive, At least save the girl she wants to protect to the death, this is her last prayer..."

"It can't be helped, and there is no evidence that there is really another girl. The girl named Matsukura Hana should look for another girl..."

"What about the murderer?"

"Little Sanmao who can eat the ball of distress paper." Sancheng's eyes turned red, "Just because of a suicide note, no relatives are looking for it... so you ignore her prayer?"

"This……"

"Is there no way?"

Everyone in the anatomy class was a little frustrated, the old forensic doctor shook his head helplessly and said: "We have tried our best, and forensic doctors are just forensic doctors after all..."

"I'm sorry," Gao Cheng put down the appraisal, looked at the dissecting class members who were suddenly in chaos, and gently raised his hand, "The idea...whose idea was it?"

Sancheng was stunned and turned to Gao Cheng, and opened his mouth slightly: "Ah, I almost forgot!"

……

"Trouble you, Officer Meguro, there may be a girl who is still in danger and may be killed at any time... It's nothing, I just happened to meet it, it's a different exchange meeting, the forensic doctor here is very powerful... ..."

In the anatomy class office, Gao Cheng hung up the phone under the stares of many forensic doctors.

"No problem, the Metropolitan Police Department will contact the Nishi Musashino Police Station, but we need to find more clues as soon as possible..."

"It's amazing, Detective Kido's power in the Metropolitan Police Department is really not small." The old forensic doctor sighed and clicked his tongue again and again.

"It's nothing, I just helped with a lot of cases." Gao Cheng put away his phone and looked at Sancheng, "Doctor Sancheng, can you come with me?"

"Eh?"

"Go to Youlu Hot Spring to have a look."

There is a deer hot spring resort, which is also known as the town of deer. Gao Cheng rode a motorcycle and took Misumi Mikoto and Xiao Ai to investigate together. He was caught in the middle and could only keep his face sullen. He had no interest in admiring the beautiful scenery of the countryside. When he arrived at the hot spring Just barely feel a little warm summer flavor.

Passing through the country road between the fields, it is rare to have a sense of leisure. It doesn't look like an investigation, but a family coming for vacation.

"There is no problem with the water here," Sancheng checked the water quality with a simple test strip at the roadside hot spring pool, "It's very close... Detective Kido, why do you have to call me here?"

"Leave professional matters to professional people. Doesn't Dr. Sancheng want to know the truth? But then again, is there really venison here?" Gao Cheng looked around and turned around, "First, go to the store that sells rice balls to find it. Let's go."

"shop?"

"According to the results of your test, Sanmao should not be dining in a restaurant, but bought finished rice balls..."

Gao Cheng rode on the motorcycle again, and took Sancheng and Xiao Ai to the nearby shops and supermarkets to investigate one by one.

There are many shops on the side of Deer Hot Springs, but venison is only available in restaurants.

"Since there is no venison for sale," Gao Cheng frowned after understanding the situation, "maybe venison is added to other foods, venison rice balls?"

"As for the venison rice balls," the clerk who was questioned remembered, "Iseya sells them, and they are the specialty venison curry-style rice balls..."

"Venison curry rice balls?" Gao Cheng raised his eyebrows.

There is indeed curry in the identification of gastric juice components...

"Where is Iseya?"

"Go straight from here, it's at the intersection."

"Thanks."

"Detective Kido," Sancheng followed Gao Cheng to Iseya, and asked with some concern, "Did you solve the mystery of Sanmao's death message?"

"If it's to save another girl, the first sentence should be the location information..."

Gao Cheng looked at the peaceful and peaceful pastoral scenery, but his mind was full of the paper ball soaked in gastric juice and the hasty handwriting on it.

"I was locked up in a cold and dark place, I kept losing body temperature, and at the last moment I found paper and pens... According to the situation at that time, writing should have been very difficult, and I could only write while rubbing my hands, so I had to use the least amount of time. Write the key information in the first sentence, the 'Snow Man' in the first sentence..."

"How is it?" Sancheng looked at Gao Cheng with concern.

"The murderer may be a man. In this way, 'Xue' is Sanmao's perception of the murderer, the refrigerated truck...or the nickname of the murderer on the Internet..."

Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai looked at each other, and slowly mentioned the possibility that he and Xiao Ai had discussed.

"If Sanmao really bought venison curry rice balls at Iseya, the murderer's place of imprisonment and his own address should be in the vicinity. When I came, I asked Police Officer Megure to contact the nearby Chozuka Town Police station..."

……

"It does have venison curry rice balls..."

In Iseya, Gao Cheng quickly found the target after finding the store manager of the aunt. Iseya's original deer hot spring specialties are not sold elsewhere.

Plus there’s potato salad sandwiches, cucumber lettuce… almost an exact fit.

"The portion is almost twice as much as Sanmao's stomach." Sancheng took the rice ball to find the ingredient list at the back, and stared at Gao Cheng in a daze, "Sanmao shared it with another person... There is really a girl ?!"

"There must be."

Gao Cheng took out photos of Sanmao and Matsukura Flower to ask the aunt to confirm, but got no results. There were too many guests, and it was difficult for the proprietress to remember the two girls.

"But for the freezer, about two kilometers ahead is Riyun Freezer," the aunt asked strangely, "Why are you looking for a freezer?"

"Just looking for something."

After leaving Iseya, Sancheng couldn't wait to go to Niyun Freezer, Gao Cheng had no choice but to ride a motorcycle and make a special trip.

As before, he didn't think the scene of the crime was the freight company's freezer, but he still had to confirm it to be on the safe side.

The locomotive was driving on a relatively wide country road, and some houses could be seen sporadically among the surrounding fields and hills.

The murderer should have a refrigerated van of his own...

Gao Cheng slowly sorted out the before and after of the case in his mind, and continued to conceive the character profile.

To lure two girls with a tendency to commit suicide to this kind of rural place through the Internet, what the murderer needs is a female identity with a similar situation, so "Xue" is more likely to be a nickname.

The death message "Yuki Nan's..." was followed by incomplete characters. Looking back now, it is most likely "home".

That is to say, the two girls were imprisoned in the murderer's house, Sanmao was frozen to death alone, swallowed the distress letter before dying, and then the murderer took the body to the Sato Masa family who committed suicide by burning charcoal together, pretending to commit suicide together .

The meaning of doing this, I don't know if it is to pursue the so-called perfect crime, if so, the other girl should be safe for the time being.

It's a pity that the Maori police officer went to investigate the website administrator, but there is no news yet, so it is difficult to find the murderer from the Internet, and it is still difficult to find the exact location in the countryside.

However, judging from the last piece of food that Sanmao bought in Iseya, the place of imprisonment is far from Iseya...

"Huh." Gao Cheng suddenly stopped his motorcycle at the intersection, and looked at a warehouse-like wooden house on the other side of the field path. A refrigerated truck with a snowflake logo was parked in front of the house.

"What's wrong?" Sancheng wondered.

"It's Snow's car."

Gao Cheng paused, turned along the path and drove towards the hut.

"The murderer may have used the nickname 'Snow' to pretend to be a woman to contact Sanmao, so the message is special 'Snow Man'."

"Snow?"

Sancheng straightened his wind-blown hair, pulled Xiao Ai and hurriedly followed Gao Cheng out of the car and into the truck.

There is a snowflake pattern printed on the outside of the carriage, there is a word for snow, and there is a special sign "minus 20 degrees", Sancheng's eyes are immediately attracted.

"It's really... a freezer that can run, and there are not many people around..."

Sancheng licked his dry lips, and looked at the dripping water pipe in front of the house. The water pipe was full of salt crystals, and there was a "hot spring" sign on it.

Vaguely, it seemed that two girls were happily washing their faces in front of the water pipe...

"Is this really here?" Sancheng looked at Gao Cheng, carefully collected the salt crystals on the water pipe, and opened the door of the truck with trembling fingers.

"Little Sanmao is in this kind of place..."

"The dead will never come back," Gao Cheng put his hands together and looked at the surrounding area. "But we still have a chance to save another person. Isn't this what Sanmao desperately wants to convey to us?"
