The next morning, Naoko's body has been taken away by the police, and the police's forensic doctor has confirmed that she was killed within ten minutes before Hanami and his party arrived at the shrine, so everyone believes that the black shadow who escaped at that time is the murderer. In response, the police went to great lengths to search the mountains and carry pistols with them, as the prisoners were likely to be armed as well.

For this kind of search, the detectives naturally could not interfere, and could only sit sullenly at the door of the shrine and bask in the sun.

Suddenly, Xiaolan ran out of the shrine and said to Kogoro, who had already sobered up, "Dad, someone just called the shrine and Miss Junhui went to do the laundry, so I answered the phone." "

"And then?" Kogoro asked, tilting his head and looking at him without any energy.

Xiaolan recalled, "The other party said, 'Thank you for selling me the arrows, it was a great deal to spend a million, and now my son's operation has been a complete success.'" ’"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Hua Ming was also very surprised, someone in the shrine sold dugong arrows? Could it be that Junhui secretly made money from this kind of business? shouldn't it......

Hua Ming raised his head and asked, "When did it happen?"

Xiaolan said: "He said that the morning before yesterday, a man who claimed to work at the shrine sold it to him in person. "

Suddenly, he Ye remembered something, "By the way, didn't Miss Junhui say it before?

Indeed, unless they have already obtained the Dugong Arrow, they will not be able to give up if they have already come here.

Heiji Hattori asked, "What's the name of the man who sells dugong arrows?"

Xiaolan shook her head, "He said he didn't know, he just remembered that the other party was full of stubble and was about fifty years old." "

As soon as they heard this description, a face appeared in everyone's minds at the same time - Benzo Kadowaki!

The festival hadn't started the morning before yesterday, and the only dugong arrows that could be sold were given out in previous years, and Kadowaki Benzo's daughter, Saori, just met this condition. In addition, Saori was terrified that she had lost the dugong arrow, and it was likely that the arrow was taken by her father, after all, father and daughter were under the same roof, and it was easy to steal things.

"Benzo was lucky enough to win the number, and it just so happened that the roster disappeared again, and the black shadow that escaped yesterday night was exactly the same size as Benzo...... It's hard not to suspect that drunk. Hana Ming muttered to himself, and both Conan and Heiji nodded in agreement.

Thinking of this, everyone immediately went to the scene of yesterday's mourning party, and after inquiring, they learned that after their group went out last night, Benzo also ran out after him, and it seems that he doesn't have to question that black shadow.

"It's a little weird though. Conan pondered, "If Benzo killed for the sake of the Dugong Arrow, then why wasn't the Dugong Arrow taken from Miss Naoko, who was killed yesterday night?"

Pingji gave him a blank look, "Please, yesterday night Hua Ming's voice scared him to run away, how could he have time to find out the arrows on the deceased's body!"

"Maybe......" Conan no longer doubted.

......

Soon yesterday, the police officer also triumphantly said to Kogoro: "The suspect who escaped has been found in the mountains. As he spoke, two criminal policemen escorted the door and Benzo stepped forward.

Sure enough, the person who escaped yesterday, the police officer took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Junhui, "This is the roster of your shrine, and I also found it on him, and now I have returned." "

"Mr. Benzo, what else do you have to say?" Kogoro glared at him viciously.

"Huh...... Anyway, no matter how much I say that I'm not a murderer, you won't believe it......" Benzo seemed to have seen it, and the old face of the vicissitudes of life smiled.

Kogoro snorted coldly, snatched the roster and flipped it open, "If you weren't the murderer, why would the number plate of the deceased Miss Sumi's be in your hands, and why would you steal the roster?"

Benzo reluctantly explained, "Because I picked up that number plate in the river, and I later learned that it was Sumi's thing." I was afraid that you would suspect me because of this, so I stole the roster. "

Everyone was still suspicious of him, but Hua didn't know that he was not a murderer, so she spoke for him: "I don't think he is a murderer." "

Conan and Heiji looked at Hanama in disbelief, "What are you talking about?If he's not the murderer, then why did he ......?"

Without waiting for Pingji to finish speaking, Hua Ming asked rhetorically: "Let me ask you, if you are a murderer, what is the first thing you have to do to steal the roster?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed. Mori Kogoro was puzzled and asked, "Hey, what are you talking about?"

Heiji didn't speak, walked up to Benzo and searched for his clothes, and then found a lighter. After finding this thing, Heiji turned around and said to Kogoro with a blank face: "Uncle, if Benzo is the murderer, then we can't see the roster now." "

It dawned on Kogoro to explain it this way, because the real murderer would definitely destroy the evidence, and it was impossible to hide it on his body like this.

At the same time, the owner of the gift shop also testified for Benzo, "Benzo was with me all the time of the crime, although it was convenient for him to go anywhere halfway, but the time was very short, and it was impossible to kill Sumi and then hang her to the waterfall." "

Benzo also said that he had picked up the number plate in the river when it was convenient, and Kogoro was still very suspicious of him, "But yesterday night after you ran away, everyone found Naoko's body, is it too much of a coincidence?" "

Since Kogoro was drunk last night, these are all heard from Xiaolan. Heiji nodded slightly, "That's right, Mr. Benzo, after you escaped, we found a corpse in the corner, and the time of death was within ten minutes, so you are the most suspicious person." "

Benzo was a little dissatisfied, "I don't know what the corpse is, how can I see it when it was so dark, I still heard your screams before I ran." And don't you say that within ten minutes? That means that except for me, who escaped at that moment, everyone else can commit murder within nine minutes, right?"

"But before the festival began, you sold a dugong arrow, and if that's right, it belonged to your daughter Saori, right?"

Benzo pouted, "Yes, my father is short of money, so he will take his daughter's things for relief, which is also a last resort." As for Sumi's number plate, I picked it up, and I have a clear conscience about it. "

When he said this, everyone was speechless, after all, they were still suspicious until now, and there was no evidence at all.

......

Due to insufficient evidence, Benzo Kadowaki was released.

Conan had been haunted by the second case, that is, the corpse of Qianjiangyi, so he contacted Officer Twilight.

Soon after, Officer Twilight also sent someone over to extract the bullet in the cadre's skull and compare it, and came up with the answer: the bullet this time was the same model as the one used in the Egg of Memories incident, and there were traces of the same silencer, so it could be concluded that the cadre's first was killed by Shi Kaobing.

The investigation has reached an impasse......
