Chapter 176: Gunma and Nagano, corpses on the county boundary (3)

Conan turned to look at Officer Yamamura and asked, "Officer Yamamura, do you remember the position of the body before it was moved?"

Officer Yamamura scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed: "Well, I can't remember it clearly. But it seems... it's a kind of 'uncomfortable posture after eating too much'." He gestured as he spoke, as if he wanted to recreate the scene.

Officer Yamato frowned upon seeing this: "Alright, alright, Yamamura. Leave this to us. If you can't help, please go back."

When Officer Shancun heard this, he was immediately unhappy: "What did you say? I'm not going back! I was the first one to arrive at the scene, and I was also the first one to touch the body. How can I just leave like this?"

Officer Yamato sighed and shook his head helplessly: "That's the problem."

Officer Morobushi coughed a few times to break the stalemate. He looked up at everyone and said, "Ahem... When people are in the same boat, helping each other is like a right hand. It's fate that we met here. How about we, the Gunma and Nagano police, conduct a joint search?"

When Kogoro heard this, he frowned slightly, obviously not understanding this somewhat flowery statement: "In the same boat? What does this mean?"

Mao Lilan, who was sitting nearby, saw this and quickly explained: "This is a famous saying of Sun Tzu. It means that if people who are not on good terms are on the same boat, they should help each other when encountering a storm. In simple terms, it means 'Wu and Yue are in the same boat'."

[Audience members slapped their foreheads. Even Wu and Yue were in the same boat. It was hard to understand. Could it be that Wu and Yue were in the same boat?

The audience touched his forehead and whispered to Tiantai, "Stop making a fool of yourself." Wu refers to the Wu Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. Yue refers to the Yue Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period.

After hearing this, Kogoro touched his chin and thought, "Why not just say 'Wu and Yue are in the same boat' from the beginning? Why go around in such a big circle?" But he didn't say much, just nodded to show that he agreed with this cooperation plan.

Then, Kogoro asked again: "So, has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?"

Officer Yui carefully flipped through the small notebook in her hand. She looked up and said to everyone, "I found out that the deceased was a guest of the Tomei Hotel. His name was Kazuki Tsukishima, 30 years old. He was a video blogger who uploaded self-made videos on video websites and made a living by earning advertising fees. It was said that he came here to meet up with other video bloggers."

Kogoro nodded. He thought for a moment, then said, "Well, let's go talk to the guests at the party again and see if there are any new discoveries."

When the guests saw them coming again, they all grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Really? We have to repeat ourselves."

Officer Yui quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry. Please cooperate."

Nakata Yumi, a beautiful girl with a bun-like hair, slowly began to recount her experience last night: "Just around 11 o'clock last night, I heard some strange noises and low moans coming from outside the window. I walked to the window curiously, but saw a figure in a cloak running away quickly. At that time, I felt something was wrong, so I immediately called the Gunma Prefectural Police Department."

Officer Murata, who was sitting opposite, was taking notes carefully. He raised his head and asked, "Ms. Nakata, do you remember the exact time you called the police?"

Nakata Yumi nodded and said affirmatively, "Of course I remember. I turned on my phone and it was exactly 11 o'clock at night."

Hoshikawa Kyoko, a middle-aged, slightly plump lady wearing glasses, still had a look of fear on her face. She recalled the scene of last night, her voice trembling slightly: "Like Yumizu, I was concerned about the strange noise outside the window, so I peeked out the window. At that time, I saw Mr. Tsukishima lying in the parking lot."

Kogoro frowned and asked, "Are you sure it was Mr. Tsukishima who fell to the ground?"

Xingchuan Jingjing nodded, trying to calm himself down: "Yes, I am sure. Because after dinner we took a video together and uploaded it. The clothes he was wearing at that time were the same clothes I saw when he fell to the ground outside the window. Although I was scared, I didn't have the courage to go to the parking lot to check until the police came."
