Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Although the murderer's motive has not yet been determined, Lin Xuan understands that a series of strange events are related to the box five years ago.

Xiaolan finally explained to the crowd that it was not her father who died. When she came to reunite with the crowd, she accidentally provided a clue:

"Manager, several customers have urged me to ask when the ladies' bathroom will be repaired."

The boss was stunned and immediately confirmed with his two subordinates:

"Is there something wrong with the equipment in the women's bathroom?"

Both of them shook their heads in confusion.

But Jinbao was complaining in his heart:

[Broken! Forgot to move the sign back to the warehouse]

The fake Kogoro agreed with his boss to reveal all the secrets of the owner of the box at nine o'clock tonight. The body of the fake Mori would not be found before then, so the murderer had enough time to clean up the mess.

However, the arrival of Lin Xuan and his group caused the body to be discovered in advance, and also disrupted the murderer's follow-up plan.

Xiaolan felt a little strange:

"But they said that since this morning, there has been a maintenance sign at the entrance of the women's public bathroom."

Shancun Cao didn't care:

"It must be a prank by one of the guests. Now I have to deal with the curse. No, no, I am busy investigating the case."

"Don't worry about such trivial matters."

Conan suddenly had an idea.

[The criminal put up a sign to prevent female guests from approaching the bathroom. He took the opportunity to enter and pick up the guests' fallen hair near the drain.]

[Putting hair in an old suitcase and newspaper, trying to use curses to confuse the audience]

He looked at the boss and the two employees with suspicion.

[It is difficult for tourists to know where the sign is placed]

[The criminal is most likely a hotel staff! ]

After hearing Yamamura So's explanation, Jimbo breathed a sigh of relief.

[The police officer is so useless that he doesn't have to worry about being suspected even if he accidentally leaves clues]

Apart from the wet hair, all that was left in the box were yellowed old newspapers.

Before being found in the guest room where the body was found, Lin Xuan did not have time to check the contents of the newspaper.

Now, in front of the murderer, the detective put on gloves and opened the yellowed newspaper again.

Jinbao's attention was immediately drawn:

[I should have asked that beast about this before I killed him five years ago. My 1 billion yen...]

To be precise, the box contained a sports newspaper, which was full of content about the sumo match in September five years ago.

The front page reported that a sumo wrestler named Akagi Maru won the competition, and the rest of the pages were detailed with the wrestler's wins and losses.

Shancuncao came over and asked with admiration:

"Mr. Lin Xuan, are there any clues in the newspaper?"

After the hospital case was over, Yamamura had actually become his little fanboy.

Lin Xuan had no interest in sumo wrestling and couldn't even understand the special terms in the newspaper.

But the Death God Elementary School student understood the Liben traditional movement, and Lin Xuan could directly use the reasoning in his mind:

"This newspaper might be a treasure map."

Upon hearing this, Jinbao's heartbeat accelerated with excitement, and a wild joy surged into the murderer's heart.

[Treasure map? After four years of lurking in the hotel, is there finally any result? ]

[Maybe we can use a high school detective to find that fortune! ]

Jinbao pricked up his ears and listened attentively, as if Lin Xuan was the only one in the whole world.

"The report says that Akagi Maru belongs to the Eastern team and is ranked fifth in the front. The Japanese pronunciation is related to the Toushin Forest near the hotel and the fallen Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue."

"This player's battle record was also reported. He only lost once, on the eighth day."

"This can also be understood as stopping after taking eight steps."

Conan was anxious. He was not surprised that Lin Xuan could deduce that the newspaper might be a treasure map.

[These three people in the hotel are all suspected of murder. How can I tell them important information in front of them? ]

Before the elementary school student could find a way to interrupt him, Lin Xuan smiled and said:

"It's just a joke. How can there be treasure in such a remote place?"

The murderer was not a fool, and Lin Xuan fed the answer to his mouth, so Jinbao quickly figured out the specific location:

[Take eight steps east from the fallen Jizo Bodhisattva, and one billion yen is buried underneath! ]

He looked at the high school detective with complicated eyes.

[Luckily you're here! Help me figure out where that bastard buried the money]

[But after all, I am still an ignorant high school student. There is no way there is wealth in the countryside? Humph, five years ago, that bastard and I made 10 billion by intimidating the president of a big company! ]

[If I kill him, I can take it all, but I didn't expect that the bastard would leave a backup plan and even use a letter to taunt me! ]

The murderer blew himself up crazily! Lin Xuan was very satisfied.

[Jinbao is indeed the bearded man who only appears once in the boss's story]

While the murderer was not on guard, Lin Xuan changed the subject to the counterfeit:

"Do you have any impression of the victim who pretended to be the Maori detective? Could he have come to the hotel as a tourist before?"

The boss shook his head to indicate that he had no impression.

Puchuan showed a hesitant expression:

"The hotel receives a large number of guests every day. Even if the guest has been here before, I would not be able to remember every guest's face if it weren't for the look today."

Jinbo said in a positive tone:

"I was only hired by the boss four years ago, and at least in the past four years, I have not encountered that customer while on duty."

Even though he pretended to have nothing to do with the victim, no one could deceive his own heart.

[That idiot was just a down-and-out stuntman. The boss hid the suitcase very well. I worked there for several years but never had a chance to steal it.]

[So they had to hire a down-and-out actor to play the role of a famous detective, and originally agreed to give him one-third of the money in the box]

[Who would have thought that when I opened the box, there was only a newspaper inside. The poor guy thought I was playing a trick on him and threatened to tell the boss everything. I had no choice but to kill him.]

The murderer continued to confess.

[Thinking that the boss and Puchuan were afraid of curses, I moved the sign from the warehouse to the front of the women's bathroom]

[I picked up some hair from the drain, put it in a newspaper and disguised myself as a man in red, and used a curse to kill people]

[I should have wiped off my fingerprints before leaving the room. The detective and the police officer would not have suspected me.]

[Once this incident is over, I can run away with 1 billion yen! ]

While listening to the murderer's self-explosion, Lin Xuan secretly looked at him.

When Lin Xuan saw the dirty white socks on Jinbao's feet, he had evidence of his crime.

After the questioning, the boss and employees were allowed to leave and serve other customers.

Lin Xuan also ordered the police from the local police station to investigate two matters.

Conan determined that the murderer was among the three people in the hotel, and the Death God Elementary School Student began to investigate these three people.

However, before he could narrow down the list of suspects or obtain any new evidence, he heard an extremely shocking piece of news that evening.

"Finally found you. You were hiding here."

Mao Lilan found Conan in the attic:

"Don't run around anymore. The senior has already concluded that the victim who pretended to be my father committed suicide."
