Conan's Landing Full Reputation
Chapter 58
[It's the innkeeper in the car...]
Shi Mo Mi rubbed his brows: Sorry for being sleepy.
Then the few people lying by the window downstairs were startled, after all, someone suddenly jumped down from above their heads...
Shi Mo Mi had jumped down from many places higher than the second floor, Xiaolan and Maori were used to it, but the murderer's pupils were shaking at this moment, almost thinking that someone took the opportunity to go upstairs and kill people at this time, and the body fell down.
Shi Mo Mi quickly ran to the side of the car, and Hattori was knocking on the car window at this time: "Hey, old man, what are you doing, there is a cliff in front!"
Without time to say anything more, Shi Mo Mi rolled up the corner of his clothes and wrapped it in his hand, punched the glass window of the co-pilot, and tried to open the door lock and stop the car. After Shi Mo Mi broke the window and looked into the car, he shrank back. Standing still.
"Stop chasing."
Conan, who was more familiar with Shi Mo Mi, stopped almost immediately, while Hattori chased him all the way to the edge of the cliff, watching the car fly off the cliff and hit the pile of rocks where they were fishing today, exploding into a ball of sparks.
It was already dark outside, and it was cloudy, so Hattori and Conan didn't see the situation inside the car clearly, so they didn't realize that the boss was actually a corpse. But Shi Mo Mi took the energy storage core·modified·watch-shaped flashlight he had just obtained, and he could tell at a glance that the hotel owner had been dead for at least a dozen hours.
Shi Mo Mi tried to recall the details of the corpse he had just seen: "The knuckles were not tense... the pupils could not be seen with the eyes closed, the sitting posture and the clothes covered... the lips were dark and cracked..."
Conan touched his chin and thought, muttered to himself, and then squatted down to find something: "If there is no severe rigor mortis, then he had just died... No, she could tell it was a corpse at a glance, which means that he was severely hypothermic... Could it be that he had been dead for more than 40 hours? And the strange wind sound in the car just now, was it the air conditioner?"
Hatsuri was also looking for clues next to the wheel marks. Hearing Conan's words, he replied impatiently: "How should I know, it was the boss who picked up yesterday afternoon..."
Before he finished speaking, the heads of the two people who were looking for clues on the ground "bang~" bumped into each other.
[Does it sound good? If it sounds good, it means it's a good head! ]
Shi Mo Mi was numb. If these two people couldn't see clearly, wouldn't they ask her for help? Is it so inconspicuous for her to stand here with a glowing watch? ? ?
Shi Mo Mi shone the light of the watch on the wheel mark for the two to see more easily. He sighed, "It's not the air conditioner. When I broke the glass, a very hot wind rushed out. In addition, the body was relatively soft, and the rigor mortis had already begun to dissipate."
Except for Ms. Iwai and Xiaolan, who managed the hotel, everyone present could make inferences to some extent. Shi Mo Mi had already introduced the general situation of the body, and Ayako Oki, who was listening very seriously, suddenly laughed.
The very beautiful Ayako Oki used her fingers painted with red nail polish to smooth her bangs that were messed up by the sea breeze and lit a cigarette, "I know who the murderer is."
Hatsuri and Conan had no clue yet, but Ayako Oki had thought of who the murderer was first. Apparently, Oki knew some other clues. The other members of the tour group hurriedly asked who the murderer was. After all, most of them were strangers who had just met not long ago, and they were afraid that it was an indiscriminate killing, and the next person to be killed would be themselves.
But Oki Ayako was unwilling to reveal who the murderer was, so Maori could only guess with dissatisfaction that this person was just talking nonsense, and then suggested that everyone go to the hotel to find a mobile phone to call the police.
Due to the previous Sherlock Holmes fan quiz, the hotel owner took away everyone's communication equipment to prevent everyone from cheating, so if you want to call the police, you can only go back to the hotel first.
Opening the room where the mobile phone was placed, the floor was full of broken mobile phone parts, even the only landline was smashed, and the telephone line was cut.
The murderer sneered at an angle that others could not see. Would he give the police a chance to mess up before the matter was over?
Xiaolan: "What should Xiao Mi do... The mobile phone is destroyed."
Shi Mo Mi patted Xiaolan comfortingly: "Ah, it doesn't matter, I didn't hand in my mobile phone, I'll go upstairs to get it."
This is a mobile phone issued by the winery, and Shi Mo Mi dare not give it to others casually.
Ms. Iwai: "Strange, didn't she say yesterday that she didn't have a mobile phone..."
Conan: Shi Mo Mi's mouth is a lie.
Although Shi Mo Mi's phone was intact, he still couldn't call the police successfully. The people around the table looked at the words "outside the circle" clearly on the phone and were dumbfounded.
"I can't stand it! I'm going to drive away from this damn place now!"
The square-faced man was the first to lose the pressure and shouted as he was about to leave the restaurant. Hattori, who was leaning against the door of the restaurant, stopped him: "It's useless. There's a big hole in the car's fuel tank. Now the car is just a pile of scrap metal..”
The case fell into the familiar “Snowstorm Villa” mode. Shi Mo Mi sat in his old seat and picked up the journal that he had not finished reading in the morning and continued to read: “So, after killing someone, he also destroyed transportation and communication equipment, just to continue to kill. I suggest not to act alone and not to increase my workload.”
“What...workload?”
“Work as a forensic doctor part-time.”
Everyone: Don’t say “persuading people not to seek death” so euphemistically!
Everyone still cherishes their lives, and they don’t want to become suspects, so they stay in the restaurant for the time being. Ms. Iwai took the initiative to make coffee for everyone. In addition, the restaurant still had food in reserve, and she and Xiaolan made sandwiches and rice balls and brought them over.
Since they were free, they continued to play the flying chess that Shi Mo Mi had not taken away, and discussed the case while playing.
Halfway through the game, Shi Mo Mi suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the case while holding the journal: “Quick question and answer, in which year did Holmes meet Watson? ”
When Conan was investigating a case, Shi Mo Mi often played this kind of game with several children from the Junior Detective Team. He would throw out a few questions that required the children to think for a while, and with some small rewards, he could keep them quiet for a long time. Conan answered almost without hesitation:
"1881."
With Conan's opening, the following questions were almost all a quick-answer session for the Holmes fans present.
Shi Mo Mi: "Correct, what is the title of the fifth case recorded in Holmes' novels?"
Ayako Oki: "The Hound of the Baskervilles."
Shi Mo Mi: "Correct, in which case was it mentioned that Holmes studied chemistry at university."
The square-faced man: "The mystery of the Gloria Scott!"
After several questions and answers, Shi Mo Mi seemed to casually turn a page of the journal he was reading: "Correct, when was the time of death of the hotel manager?"
Toba Kento, who finally got the first answer: "Ten o'clock the night before last! "
Everyone in the room looked at Kento Toba, and Toba broke into a cold sweat and forced an explanation: "According to the doctor's statement, the store manager has been dead for a long time. I guess he must have been killed shortly after we separated. Doctor Shi, do you think my guess is right?"
Shi Mo Mi smiled: "After all, I didn't do an autopsy, so I can't be sure."
Even though Toba's explanation was barely reasonable, several people still had a sense of defense against him. It was almost four o'clock, and Xiaolan, who couldn't stand it any longer, and several older people fell asleep on the dining table with blankets wrapped around them. Conan and Hattori, who were still playing flying chess, couldn't help yawning. Before Conan could finish his breath, the lights in the restaurant suddenly went out.
Then there was the sound of broken glass near where Shi Mo Mi was sitting, followed by a cry of pain from someone.
Xiaolan was startled, and her first reaction was to grope to see Shi Mo Mi, the only one sitting by the window: "Xiao Mi, are you okay?"
"It's okay. "
The cold sea breeze pouring in from the broken window instantly awakened the few people who were still trapped. Oki, Maori and others, who had a lighter in their hands, hurried to check the circuit breaker together, and finally found that the coffee machine in the kitchen was short-circuited and caused the circuit breaker to trip.
There were quite a few people going in and out of the kitchen at night. Except for Shi Mo Mi and Maori Kogoro, who could not cook at all, almost everyone had been in the kitchen. When Maori fixed the circuit breaker and returned to the restaurant, he saw that the restaurant was now divided into three groups.
A group of people were standing or squatting near the window, including Xiaolan, Conan, and Hattori.
A group of people were obviously frightened by the travel agency members who were standing at the door of the restaurant and almost wanted to run away.
And Shi Mo Mi, who was still reading a magazine with his legs crossed, and Kento Toba, who was standing close to the wall for some reason.
When Maori got closer, he found that one side of Toba's collar was pulled up and crumpled, and nailed by a blue object On the wall, that thing looks a bit like an ice pick in the kitchen.
Maori: "..."
Shi Mo Mi was actually a bit embarrassed. As soon as the power went out, Hu Ye ran over with an ice pick in one hand and a bench in the other, smashed the glass with a click, and then rushed towards herself who was sitting on the side. She was anxious to grab the white blade with her bare hands and nailed the person to the wall. She used too much force and the ice pick was stuck and couldn't be pulled out.
Hu Ye was so angry. His original plan was to kill the innkeeper first, then pretend to be the boss's fake death, and then kill another person. As a result, Shi Mo Mi frequently disrupted the situation. First, he said that the boss had died a long time ago and didn't commit suicide. Then he circled everyone and couldn't leave, and even made some quick questions and answers to blast him... Hu Ye originally wanted to deal with Shi Mo Mi who was in the way before continuing, but... How could someone stick an ice pick into cement? This wall is not tofu! ! ! !
Shi Mo Mi coughed dryly: "I was defending myself, he started it first."
Why Hu Ye attacked Shi Mo Mi, everyone more or less guessed, knowing that the murdererThe hand-pushing process was not difficult, but Hattori, who had already noticed something was wrong, kept pretending to be stupid and refused to tell Toba's murder method.
In addition, Xiaolan, who insisted on protecting Shi Mo Mi, always stood with Shi Mo Mi. Conan had no choice but to attack Mao Li, wanting him to uncover the truth of the case. Hattori, who was eager to know whether Conan was Kudo Shinichi, would never let Conan act alone and kept following Conan.
Conan: You forced me to do this.
Seeing Hattori staggering around and sitting down by the door, Shi Mo Mi almost laughed out loud.
Toba had been dissatisfied with the innkeeper for a long time. A few years ago, the square-faced man assisted the innkeeper in publishing a book called "The Laugh of Irene Adra". Toba believed that Irene was a woman recognized by Holmes and would never laugh at Holmes, so he wanted to kill the innkeeper.
After participating in this trip, he killed the boss after everyone dispersed, fixed the body in the car, stepped on the brakes with the corpse in a state of rigor mortis, and then turned on the car air conditioner to accelerate the softening of the body. The car can be accelerated to rush out of the cliff, and the remaining cars in the garage are designed to explode when they encounter open flames. The square-faced man who assists the curator happens to be smoking, and after destroying the flashlight of the hotel, he tells the man that the original book is in the garage. Once the square-faced man who likes to smoke uses open flames to illuminate, he will be blown up.
Unfortunately, Shi Mo Mi's interference caused the plan to collapse completely.
After telling the case, Hattori yawned and stood up, and the others worked together to rescue Toha from the wall and locked him in the storage room. Hattori said to Conan who was standing by the door: "Hey, you must be Kudo."
Conan sweated: "What are you talking about? I'm just a kid, a kid!"
Hattori squatted down and grabbed Conan's bow tie: "Don't pretend, you just used the bow tie on your clothes to imitate my voice, I just saw it~"
"When did you..."
"Although your Kansai dialect is very poor, the reasoning model is exactly the same as Kudo's."
Conan still wanted to quibble, but Hattori didn't tolerate him: "Ah, Shi! I want to tell you something!"
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, and Hattori guessed that Shi Mo Mi must know it in an instant, and immediately changed his words: "NANA, Miss Lan, I have a very interesting story about this kid I have something to tell you~"
Conan: "Wait a minute, ahhhhhhh!"
Shi Mo Mi: "Hahahahahahahahahaha!"
————————————————
On the way back, Hattori listened to Conan's story and complained to Shi Mo Mi: "You obviously know everything, and you still said Kudo won't go."
Shi Mo Mi kept laughing: "You are looking for Kudo Shinichi, what does it have to do with him, Edogawa Conan?"
"But you dare to guess that I am Shinichi, you are really bold."
"Eliminate all the impossibilities, even if the final answer is unreasonable, it is the truth."
After Hattori returned to Tokyo, he exchanged mobile phone numbers and the landline number of the Mori family with Shi Mo Mi, and waved his hand to take the tram home.
Shi Mo Mi waved from behind: "Next time you come to play, remember to bring your family and Ye with you."
Hattori, who was walking away, almost fell flat on the ground.
"What do you mean by my home!"
Small theater:
In a later phone call between Hattori and Kudo, Kudo sternly warned Hattori: "Don't mess with that woman Shi Mo Mi."
"Why?"
"She has a bad taste and is good at fighting. She doesn't even think twice before telling a lie. Although she doesn't hold grudges, you'll basically get revenge on her on the spot if you mess with her!"
Another person's voice came from the phone: "Oh, how come I can hear someone say bad things about me when I come to visit?"
"... Mo Mi!!!"
(Sound of a phone falling on the table)
(Shi Mo Mi's sneer)
"I heard that she needs some materials for her research recently. Let me draw some blood for her."
Hattori: Thank you, brother. This explanation is so vivid.
