Conan Moslin

Kuriyasu and Kamijou Hideko heard the screams even from a distance. They walked around the hotel building and saw this scene.

The black-robed man with a pale smiling mask leaned back and poked at the tip of the bronze statue's sword.

The blunt sword pierced the chest and passed through the arm, blood splattered everywhere, staining the bronze statue black.

The black bowler hat belonging to the Duke of Darkness slipped off his head, and the brim rolled in front of the crowd.

The crowd retreated unconsciously, only it was still swaying and spinning.

It didn't move until the brim of the hat was facing upwards.

At this time, the few people closest to the statue seemed to react and unconsciously took a few steps back.

One of them had blood splattered on his face. He raised his hand and wiped it blankly.

The screams resounded through the night again.

"Duke of Dark Night...he fell from the building?"

Kamijou Hideko had a bad feeling in her heart, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.

"No... is it the organizer of the tour group?"

She looked at the blood-stained white mask from afar, observing the shapeless body outline of the person who fell from the building, and her lips trembled unconsciously.

"Maybe. We can only wait for the police."

The death had nothing to do with her, and Li An's tone was as calm and gentle as ever.

Those who died and the criminals in the past——

They all faced this expression from her.

Just noticing the change in Miss Kamijou's expression, Kurian took a step forward and blocked her view.

Mao Lilan and a few others were originally on the second floor. When they heard the news that someone fell from the building, they rushed down quickly and soon reunited with Li An and the others.

Kogoro Mori is also there.

Because my daughter was outside, the waiter confirmed her identity and helped her out directly towards the elevator.

When he heard the news that someone had fallen from the building outside, Kogoro Mouri, who was originally half drunk and half awake, immediately sobered up. He rubbed his aching head, turned around and took Mouri Ran and others to the scene to maintain order first.

No matter how unreliable he is, Kogoro Mori used to be a policeman and he is very familiar with the procedures of maintaining order.

There were people in the crowd who recognized him as a famous detective and did as he asked.

The police officers in Izu are very efficient and they quickly send a car when they receive the alarm call.

They took over the job of former policeman Kogoro Mori, evacuated the crowd, managed the scene, and everything was in order.

Leading the group was a square-faced police officer with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He wore a dark brown suit, a white shirt, a brown tie, and had a coral haircut.

Speaking of coral head, we have to mention Mr. Nanami Katagiri who also has a coral head.

If there is any difference...

His hair is not as obviously... coral as this officer's?

Li An was not very familiar with these people, but he obviously knew Detective Maori and the others.

"Mr. Maori, you are here too!"

"Are you the officer Yokomizo who was involved in the case in Saitama Prefecture?"

Officer Yokomizo Sango, who was transferred to the Shizuoka Police Station just last month, was involved in the murder of a writer on the night of the "Tenka No. 1 Night Festival" in Saitama Prefecture.

At this point the deceased had been photographed by the police officer at the scene and had been carefully lowered down.

While Officer Yokomizo was greeting Kogoro Mori, Conan broke into the cordon and, under the watchful eyes of the three police officers, reached out and removed the mask of the deceased.

It's someone I know.

"Mr. Jiang Yuan!" Mao Lilan exclaimed immediately.

Officer Yokomizo at the scene was very surprised: "Ms. Xiaolan... do you know this person?"

"He is a member of the detective tour group, just like Ms. Kuriyasu who came with us."

"Detective tour? You mean Mr. Maori didn't participate..."

"No, wait, who are you talking about, Miss Li An?"

"it's me."

Yokogouchanwu didn't quite understand the relationship between the few people, but that was not the point.

Seeing someone respond, he immediately invited Li An in: "Miss, can you confirm the identity of this person?"

"Lan is right. It was indeed Mr. Jiang Yuan Shi Nan. We met on the first floor of the hotel this afternoon."

"There should be a wound on his right hand from the scratch I made this afternoon."

This kind of thing can be seen at the flip of the hand, there is nothing to hide.

The beautiful older sister who was in a bad mood and following Li An opened her mouth when she heard this, as if she guessed what the deceased had done.

After hearing her words, one of the police officers reached out and took off the deceased's gloves: "Officer Yokomizo, he is indeed injured at the base of his right hand."

"That should be correct... Miss, do you know which room he is in?"

"He lives in room 2101." Kamijou Hideko, who followed Kurian in, spoke slowly.

She glanced at the corpse whose eyes were still open and closed them deeply.

Such people are not worth crying over.

It’s just that he’s someone I haven’t known for a long time…that’s all.

Upon hearing the room number, Officer Yokomizo immediately looked at the two officers behind him.

The two were immediately ordered to leave and went upstairs to check the situation.

Officer Yokomizo did not immediately ask about the wound, but instead changed the subject to the tour group: "What does your tour group do, and why is he dressed like this?"

Facing Officer Yokomizo's questioning, Kuriyasu calmly explained one by one, with Kamijou Hideko occasionally adding a few words.

"So the purpose of your tour group is to expose the identity of the Duke of Darkness."

"Then the organizer should be Mr. Jiang Yuan."

"I don't know if this was suicide or an accident..." Officer Yokomizo thought of Mr. Mori and turned to look at him. "What do you think, Mr. Mori?"

Kogoro Mouri had just knocked Conan on the bag and was now squatting down to check the condition of the corpse.

"Was the deceased wearing only one glove?" he asked. "On the right hand?"

The police officer in charge of the inspection nodded unconsciously and handed him the gloves in a transparent bag.

It was a relatively clean white glove, without any blood on it.

Kogoro Mouri lifted up the black robe of the Duke of Darkness and carefully searched his body for anything unusual.

The deceased's chest was covered in blood, with a wound running vertically through his chest, staining his white shirt black and red.

Conan rubbed his head and followed Kogoro Mouri's gaze to look at his tie, but didn't find anything wrong for a moment.

He took out his own yellow bow tie and compared it with the blood-stained bow tie on his chest.

Distance is too far, comparison failed, requesting support.

"Uncle Maori... This is the tie that the waitress asked me to return to Mr. Jiang Yuan just now..."

"show me!"

Kogoro Mouri turned his head and grabbed his tie, comparing it with the bow tie on the chest of the person in front of him.

"No problem..." He rubbed his forehead, stood up and said to Officer Yokomizo, "Officer Yokomizo, have you investigated Room 2102?"

Officer Yokomizo had already received the news and immediately said, "Room 2102 is locked from the inside. You can't get in."

Locked from the inside? Could it be an accident?

"Our guys have gone to get the chainsaw that will open the door."

Conan took this opportunity and saw the belt around Mr. Jiang Yuan's waist when he got closer.

"Then let's go up and take a look together." Maori Kogoro thought for a moment, "Kuroba, you also come up and tell the police officer about what happened this afternoon."

Li An hummed.

"Xiao Lan, please wait here for a while. If there are any tour groups coming down, please ask them to gather together first."

"I know, Dad."

"Conan...just stay..."

Stay here and don't run around.

Edogawa Conan applied loudly.

"I'll go call Dr. Agasa and the others!"
