Ke Xue's Kogoro

Chapter 38

In Maiche Luowu Hotel, Kogoro took Xiaolan and Conan back to his room quickly, lying on the bed, a little idly.

"Hey, Dad, why are you playing with your phone? Isn't this caught by the camera? This will affect Conan."

Kogoro glanced at Conan, the little devil was answering the thousand questions with all his energy, and had no other thoughts at all.

Kogoro said indifferently: "That kind of camera, you can tell it's fake at first glance, it's not powered on at all."

"Huh? Is it fake?"

"Xiao Lan, let's go play cards with Hattori."

"What about Conan? It's not good to leave him alone in the room."

"Xiao Lan!"

Kogoro was a little jealous: "I've never seen you care so much about me. I'm your father. Don't worry about that brat, he's as smart as a monkey."

The two quickly arrived at Hattori's room.

"Hattori, let's play cards."

"Okay, I'm bored to death."

Seeing the blank answer sheets on the table, Xiaolan couldn't help asking: "Heiji, didn't you write any of them?"

Hattori shrugged: "I'm not a Sherlock Holmes fan, so I won't write it at all. I'm just here to see if Kudo Shinichi will come. But it would be nice if uncle is here."

"That is to say, I, Mori Kogoro, is enough for the Kanto region, but I want Shinichi Kudo. Isn't that right, Hattori?"

"That's right, uncle is enough."

Xiaolan became curious: "Heiji, when did you have such a good relationship with my dad?"

"Forehead……"

Hattori remembered the terrible scene he saw last time, and saw Kogoro's gloomy face, and immediately explained: "The last time the diplomat's case, the uncle's reasoning was quite wonderful, which opened my eyes. My father also said to I can learn a lot from my uncle."

"That's right, his father Hattori Heizo and I are old acquaintances. He also asked me to take care of Hattori. And, I like Hattori better than Kudo."

Seeing that Xiaolan's face became disappointed, Kogoro quickly took out the playing cards: "Come on, let's play."

The time soon came to the second night, dinner was finished, Hitomi Iwai also served coffee for everyone as an assistant, but as the owner of the hotel, he did not show up for a long time.

"Please ask him to come out and correct these test papers for us."

Several guests couldn't wait any longer, but Hitomi Iwai used the boss's order as an excuse and didn't call him out.Everyone had no choice but to wait until after 12 in the evening.

Fujisawa Toshiaki stood up angrily: "That's enough, I'm going back to the room."

But Toda said helplessly: "It seems that the rumor is true. People say that giving away the first edition is a scam. Every time I deliberately make the questions difficult so that everyone can't answer them all correctly. The purpose is Just showing off the book to everyone."

Following Toda also stood up, several others left the restaurant one after another and returned to their rooms.

Kogoro always felt that something was going to happen, so he stayed.

Soon it was around 3:20 in the morning, and when Kogoro was taking a nap, Kento Yehu, who was sitting by the window, suddenly looked out the window and said, "It's the innkeeper who is driving!"

"It seems that the reasoning question and answer is finally about to start."

In a daze, Kogoro saw Conan and Heiji opening the window and climbing out.

"what's the situation?"

Xiaolan pointed out the window and said: "It seems that the hotel owner is driving and is going to hit the bottom of the cliff."

Kogoro woke up instantly, and ran out through the window.But just after running to the edge of the cliff, the car fell off the cliff and was blown to pieces.

You said why these people like to build villas in such a dangerous place, and they don't like to build guardrails.Did you run out of money after repairing the villa?

The explosion woke the others up, and they all ran out in a daze.

Kogoro yawned: "It seems that everyone is here. Everyone, in my opinion, Boss Jingu was murdered, and the murderer is among us."

"what?"

Kogoro was confident in his words. After all, Conan was here, so there must be no surprises.

Kogoro said: "Heiji, did you observe anything just now?"

Hattori Heiji thought for a while and said: "The boss we saw just now is dead or not, but his eyes are closed and he is holding the steering wheel with his hands. The strange thing is that the car suddenly accelerated just now, and there was a similar wind in the car. weird noise."

Conan also said: "I also saw it just now. The dashboard was covered with a blanket, and I also heard a strange sound. I am very sure that it was not the sound of the engine."

Yanren Hu Ye smiled and said: "If it is really murder, then the method of killing is very simple. Just kill or stun the boss first, then put him in the car, set the gear of the car, and he will He was carried by the car and fell into the sea."

Kogoro ignored him, there was already black and white at the scene, so why ask others.

Kogoro rubbed his chin, talking about his own analysis: "The instrument panel is covered with blankets, probably because we don't want us to see the instrument panel. The strange sound in the car should be the car air conditioner."

"It's very possible."

Conan thought of something and ran to the edge of the cliff again, squatting under the ruts and observing carefully.

"correct!"

Hattori Heiji also reacted: "If the air conditioner is turned on in the car, there will be traces of water droplets on the ground. If not, it should be the heater."

"So what's the result?"

There were two child laborers, so Kogoro didn't have to go to the scene to find any evidence himself.

"It should be heating. Neither Conan nor I found any traces of water droplets."

Kogoro nodded, and then continued his reasoning: "Everyone, the murderer covered the dashboard with a blanket. He probably didn't want us to know whether the heater or air conditioner was on in the car."

"However, we still found the truth through observation. Hattori and Conan, let me test you, why doesn't the murderer want us to know this clue?"

Heating and cooling have little effect on living people, so in the car, the temperature can affect the corpse!

Hattori and Conan said at the same time: "I see, it's the death time of the corpse!"

Kogoro looked relieved on the surface, but he didn't know much about it.

"Yes, people will stiffen and then soften after death. So the murderer didn't want us to know the specific time of death of the deceased, and even planned to have the boss fall off the cliff with the car."

Kogoro glanced around at the suspects and said, "So, I think we can first think about how the murderer designed the trick to drive the corpse automatically."

"Uncle, I thought of a possibility!"

With Kogoro as cover and Hattori as his own person, Conan didn't act at all.
