Chapter 180: Gunma and Nagano, corpses on the county boundary (7)

"Great! Don't bother with that guy." Yamato suddenly interrupted the conversation between Officer Moruobushi and Officer Yamamura.

"But..." Officer Zhu Fu seemed a little hesitant.

Kogoro looked up at them and asked, "Have you found the weapon that killed Mr. Tsukishima?"

[Viewer Maori Kogoro, did you see that? This is a true detective, who can always grasp the most critical part of the case. ]

"Ah, sort of," Officer Moruobushi replied, "but it's just a shell."

"Only the shell?" Kogoro looked puzzled.

"Yes." Officer Yamato explained in detail, "It was the bloody sock that was thrown away along with the blood-spattered cape."

"Socks?" Kogoro widened his eyes in shock, obviously finding the answer unbelievable to him.

“Yes, that’s right.” Yamato nodded. “The murderer probably put something hard and heavy in the socks, and then beat the victim to death with all his might.”

Officer Yui took over the conversation: "Yes, it is a weapon that looks like a short stick. But it seems that the contents were taken away by the criminal."

"Haven't you found it yet?" Kogoro asked.

"Yes." Officer Yui shook her head helplessly, "Although we have searched the hotel inside and outside, including the guest rooms, we have not found the hard and heavy object."

Kogoro pondered for a moment and concluded, "So, did the criminal disappear with the murder weapon? Could this be a case of an outsider committing the crime?"

After hearing Kogoro Mori's conclusion, Takaaki Morobushi, Gansuke Yamato and Conan from the Nagano trio came to a surprising conclusion.

"No." They said in unison, "The criminal is probably among those three."

"Conan knows it too!" Ran Mouri looked at Conan, her eyes full of little stars of approval.

Conan nodded and replied, "Well, after watching the surveillance video just now, I vaguely knew it."

Officer Yui took over the conversation and explained in detail: "Those three people are the video bloggers who claimed to be staying at this hotel with Mr. Tsukishima Kazuki. They are Ms. Nakata Yumi, Ms. Hoshikawa Kyoko, and Mr. Hanayama Izumi."

Conan nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes."

"But..." Officer Yui frowned, "The surveillance video didn't capture those three people."

Conan stared at the surveillance video, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, as if he could penetrate the screen and get to the core of the truth.

"Please roll back the video to before the criminal arrived." Conan's voice was calm and firm.

As the video rewound, the scene returned to the moment before Mr. Tsukishima was killed. Conan watched carefully, nodding from time to time, as if confirming something.

"This murdered uncle was probably waiting for someone in the parking lot." Conan pointed at Mr. Tsukishima on the screen. "He kept looking at his watch. He was probably waiting for someone to arrive."

"Look here." Conan pointed to another screen, "He also looked at the hotel window behind him from time to time. I think he should be looking at the room where the date is."

Mao Lilan moved closer to the screen, took a closer look, and said in surprise: "Really! He is indeed looking at the window behind."

"Because it's right behind us, we don't know which room he is looking at." Kogoro touched his chin, lost in thought.

Mao Lilan suddenly had an idea: "I see! Because the date has not arrived yet, he may be thinking: 'What are you doing?' So he looks back from time to time to confirm whether the other person is already in the room."

[Audience member Ran Mouri asked Suzuki Sonoko and Sera Masumi beside her, "How about me being a free tour guide?"

Audience member Suzuki Sonoko: OK, OK, I get it. Don’t you just want to praise that little brat of yours?

Audience member Sera Masumi, if it were me, I would have given the answer right away. 】

Conan nodded and looked at Mao Lilan with appreciation: "Well, you are right. Moreover, the windows of the rooms of those three people seem to be facing this parking lot."

Mao Lilan looked at Conan, her eyes sparkling with admiration: "As expected of Conan-kun!"
