Chapter 2018 Thieves don't go empty

​​

"What about the others?" Kogoro Mori asked sternly, "Is there anyone else here who hates him?"

​​

Mizuki Tono looked at the corpse of Hikawa Shogo lying in the snow, and sighed, "Eight years ago, Hikawa and his parents sold the compensation land and went to Tokyo with the compensation money. The people in the village don't seem to have much contact, so... I really can't think he will offend anyone in the village."

​​

"Really..." Kogoro Mouri didn't ask any further.

​​

After taking a photo of the row of footprints, Koshimizu Nanatsuki stood up straight, pointed to the end of the footprint and asked, "Miss Mizuki, where does the other side of this row of footprints lead? Or, where can I go?"

​​

Conan looked up at Mizuki Tono.

​​

If the murderer used Chi Feichi's method and left here backwards after the snow stopped, then this row of footprints would be the indicator of the murderer's whereabouts...

​​

"There is... the hut in the back mountain, where Muto lives," Tono Mizuki hesitated, "but if the glacier came to look for Muto, or came with Muto, then they could still use the driveway, why should they wear it? Going across the snowfield..."

​​

Conan turned his head to look at the snow with footprints.

​​

A mystery is solved, and there are countless mysteries behind it.

​​

Glacier Shangwu, who hasn't come back for eight years, suddenly came back, and he went to the snowfield with someone to kill him, which shows that there is still some secret in Glacier Shangwu.

​​

​​

In the evening, the criminal police from Xinma County arrived at Beize Village.

​​

The police listened to Kogoro Mouri's reasoning, and after investigating the body and the scene, they found Toumi Tachihara, Mizuki Tono, Keisuke Yamao, and Takehiko Muto to the village office.

​​

These four people are the people here who know Glacier Shanggo best, and at the same time, there may be some grudges with each other, so, except for Tono Mizuki, who has been with Chi Feichi and others, the other three were asked for alibi.

​​

Tachihara Toumi said that Touma felt tired after checking her body, and she accompanied Touma in her room at home, and no one could testify.

​​

Yamao Keisuke said that he didn't go out with Hikawa Shogo, and went to wander in the woods to the east by himself. No one could prove this either.

​​

Takehiko Muto said that he works in a workshop near the dam, and because he doesn't like being disturbed by others, no one can prove it.

​​

None of the three had an alibi, but none of them admitted that they were with Shogo Glacier in the afternoon, and the investigation was at an impasse.

​​

Yamao Keisuke heard from the police that Shogo Glacier might be going to a hut in the mountains, that Shogo Glacier proposed to Mizuki Tono when he was young, and that Takehiko Muto might use Mizuki to deceive Shogo Glacier into the past, and he had a quarrel with Takehiko Muto.

​​

The police also thought that Muto Yuehiko was very suspicious in private, but just based on the two points of 'Takehiko Muto complained about Shogo Glacier' and 'The footprints lead to Takehiko Muto's mountain hut', they could not force an investigation. After learning about the situation, Let the four of them go back first.

​​

After the arrival of the police car, the news of the death of someone on the snowfield spread quickly. The villagers and tourists in the villa all inquired about, understood, and talked about it. After nightfall, the interior and exterior of the villa gradually returned to peace.

​​

The five children ran to Chi Feichi's room, discussed the case for a while, played poker for a while, and went back after ten o'clock at night.

​​

"Brother Chi, you should rest early too!"

​​

"Tomorrow morning to see the sunrise, don't forget to meet in the lobby!"

​​

"Brother Chi, good night!"

​​

Chi Feichi watched the five little devils head upstairs, closed the room door, turned around and walked to the table, picked up the opened bottle of red wine, poured half a glass into the glass, sat down on the sofa, and then took out his phone to dial.

​​

"Beep...beep..."

​​

The phone rang twice and was connected.

​​

Chi Feichi glanced at the two cans of beer and a bottle of red wine on the table, "Why did you suddenly ask me to call back?"

​​

On the other end of the phone, Jin Jiu said solemnly, "From last night to this evening, you haven't sent an email to explain the current progress to that person, and I've been unable to get through to you during the day, so I want to make sure you're still alive. ."

​​

Luck ran out to investigate alone and lost contact for a day. Isn't it normal to call him back when he has time? Luck asked him, "Why did he suddenly let him call back?"

​​

"Going to play on the snowy field during the day, the signal is not very good," Chi Feichi pulled out a thumb-sized white bottle from his pocket, and slowly twisted the bottle cap with his left hand, "You don't think anyone here is threatening me, right? ?"

​​

Jinjiu: "You went to the snowfield to play?"

​​

Chi Feichi: "Is there a problem?"

​​

Gin: "...No."

​​

Chi Feichi: "..."

​​

There was something in the silence before Gin answered.

​​

"Hmph... I thought you would never be complacent," Gin turned on the semi-taunting mode, "Sutern, who was closely monitored, could have almost killed you. That guy from Yamao brought so many bombs back, and it was so easy for you. Entering the hospital, I'm worried that you were bombed into the hospital, so I asked you to call back as soon as possible, isn't that normal?"

​​

Chi Feichi had to admit in his heart that Jin Jiu's worry was reasonable, after all, he was still in the process of organizing the mission, so he should have lost contact, but it was impossible to admit it, "Look, you should pay more attention to your side. ."

​​

"Speaking of this... The second buyer of 'Black Humor' has been active a lot today. I estimate that they will take action against the bank in two days." I went to them, but whether to swallow the money or get them to do things for us depends on their performance in action, I told Rum, if someone is doing well, then yes Consider staying."

Chi Feichi gave an "um", and finally unscrewed the cap of the small bottle with one hand, and poured fishy blood into the red wine glass, "Are you going to monitor their robbery throughout the process?"

​​

"Vodka has time to monitor their movements, I'll take a look at the situation first," Gin said casually without revealing his schedule, and asked again, "Where's yours? Is Yamao's purpose clear?"

​​

"After arriving at Beize Village, he has been staying in the village, visiting elders and meeting friends," Chi Feichi swayed the glass in his left hand, letting the blood in it mix with the red wine, "There is currently no There was a big movement, the car that brought the bomb was parked in the yard of a family in the village, the family seemed to have moved away, no one lived there, it was very suitable for him to park."

​​

"Tomorrow is the celebration of the fifth anniversary of the establishment of Beize Village. What he wants to wait for is probably this special day," Qin Jiu helped analyze, "or he wants to gather people in the village and lead someone to go there. Create an outbreak, or..."

​​

A smile appeared on the corner of Chi Feichi's mouth, "I want to wait for the staff stationed at the dam to go to the village to participate in the celebration, put a bomb on the dam and blow up the dam."

​​

Jin Jiu said in a leisurely tone, "Looking at his previous behavior of bombing the Dongdu subway line, it is likely the latter, so is the purpose still to destroy revenge?"

​​

"But in that case, there's no need to pool money to buy medicine," Chi Feichi boredly lured Jinjiu to play a deduction game, "He's very financially nervous, so the 30,000 dollars he made up was also borrowed from a friend in Tokyo, by the way. , the friend who lent him the money and hadn't returned to the village for eight years, returned to Beizawa Village with him, and died today, the murderer should be Yamao."

​​

"So, why did he have to blow up the dam? At the same time, he and his friend were suspected to have formed an alliance of interests, and then he killed each other..." Jin Jiu suddenly sneered inexplicably, "Hmph... There is no way under that reservoir. Are there any treasures hidden?"

​​

"I thought so too," Chi Feichi took a sip of the wine-blood mixed drink, letting the grassy scent in his blood and the sourness in the wine spread in his mouth, "Eight years ago, the night before Yamao's drunk driving accident, A jewelry store in Shinjuku, Tokyo was robbed, lost nearly one billion yen of jewelry, and killed the owner of the jewelry store. The identity of the culprit has not yet been determined..."

​​

"One billion yen, that's really enough for him to take risks, are you going to check?"

​​

"Of course, after all, the original plan was... thieves would not go in vain."

​​

"Oh? Have you actually degenerated to the point where you call yourself a thief?"

​​

"If I were a thief, so would you."

​​

"Then let's see if we can successfully bring the thing we're eyeing home. I wish you all the best."

​​

"You too, everything went well."

​​

The phone hangs up.

​​

Chi Feichi put the phone on the table and drank the blood wine in the glass one by one.

​​

He and Conan got the map of the dam this morning, probably attracted by the case that happened during the day, Conan forgot to show him the map, so far, he doesn't know the route to the dam, Topography of the dam management site.

​​

This is what he wants Conan to think - even if someone went to the bottom of the reservoir to intercept that batch of things in advance, that person would not be him.

​​

In addition, after the dam was bombed, the water in the reservoir rushed down the mountain, who can say that the batch of jewelry was not washed away by the flood?

​​

As for how he got to the dam...

​​

He wants to go to the dam without a map.

​​

​​

In twenty minutes, Chi Feichi drank wine and took stock of the things he brought.

​​

He is going to walk across the snowfield to the dam tonight. When he comes back, whether it's the water stains on his coat or the marks he might have stepped on on his shoes, it will be a flaw for a famous detective to find out that he went out.

​​

Those traces must be cleaned up.

​​

Also, although the people like Conan were probably asleep, the famous detective probably woke up in the middle of the night, went to the first floor to buy something, and 'just' found out that he wasn't there...

​​

Beware of this too. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

​​

"Dong... dong dong!"

​​

There was a knock on the glass door leading to the yard, causing Chi Feichi to pull back his thoughts, get up with a cup in hand, and walk to the bathroom.

​​

The taut curtains blocked the glass door, forming a group of barriers to prying eyes indoors and outdoors.

​​

Mizuki Tono's voice came from outside the door, "Mr. Chi, are you asleep?"

​​

"Miss Tono? Wait a minute."

​​

Chi Feichi raised his voice and replied, washed the cups on the sink in a hurry, put his hands on the table when he got to the living room, walked to the glass door, and opened the curtains and glass door.

​​

There is a lot of snow in Kitazawa Village. It only snowed once during the day, and it started to snow again at night.

​​

Tono Mizuki was wearing a thick mountaineering suit, gloves and a hat, and was tightly wrapped. He stood on the terrace with his back to the heavy snow. When he saw Chi Feichi open the glass door, his eyes lit up, and then he looked embarrassed. He lowered his head, "Mr. Chi, I'm sorry to bother you so late."

​​

Chi Feichi turned sideways in front of the glass door, "What's the matter with you? If it's cold outside and you don't mind, you can come in and talk."

​​

"No need," Tono Mizuki said, looking a little more tangled, "I... I was on the snowfield during the day, just before I found the body of the glacier, when I looked back and asked if you had anything you disliked, I seemed to see... In the snow behind you, there is something..."
