Hattori Heiji said calmly, he is a detective anyway, even if the person he likes is not Sherlock Holmes, he must have at least read Sherlock Holmes, and a well-known detective has never read Sherlock Holmes anthologies, it would be embarrassing to say that.

Conan is still very energetic, strange, is it nothing to him to stay up late?

Or is it that children themselves are the kind of energetic people?

Unable to understand this, Long Jing could only shake his head, and sat silently waiting for the innkeeper to arrive.

However, at 12 o'clock in the evening, Hiroyuki Kanaya still disappeared.

Fujisawa Toshiaki suddenly felt angry, and then stood up, tearing up the test questions he had written all night, and said angrily, "Damn it, I can't take it anymore, I'm going back to my room!"

Hitomi Iwai didn't even have time to stop it, but Maria Toda said, "It seems that the rumors are true."

"What rumor?" Long Jing and the others beside him couldn't help asking curiously.

Afterwards, under Maria Toda's explanation, everyone realized that it turned out that it was rumored a long time ago that giving away the rare edition book was always a scam. Against, the real purpose is just to show off that book to Sherlock Holmes fans.

It seemed that Maria Toda couldn't wait any longer, so she had to leave.

Not to mention them, even Kogoro has completely worn out his patience. After all, the group of people who discuss Sherlock Holmes don't get along with him at all, not to mention that he doesn't like Holmes.

Yuan Chun sat silently and squinted his eyes, apparently falling asleep.

However, Long Jing could see that his sister was only in a light sleep, the kind that could be woken up at any time.

Afterwards, Long Jing looked at the clock hanging on the wall, which had already shown 03:30.

At 03:30 in the morning, this is really... Could it be a lie... Long Jing said silently in his heart.

If it wasn't for me being free, I probably wouldn't have waited until now.

Long Jing felt extremely speechless in his heart, participating in this kind of event once is enough...

At this time, even Hattori Heiji felt very tired, "I can't do it, I'm going to the limit."

Just after he finished speaking, that Oki Ayako put his arms around Kento Toba, "Yenren, let's go back to the room too, I'm so sleepy..."

Kento Toba raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said slowly, "No, wait a little longer, whoever leaves first loses first..."

At this time, Kento Toba didn't know whether it was on purpose or not, but he just glanced casually and suddenly spotted the innkeeper.

I saw a car driving forward outside the window, without accident, it should be the hotel owner sitting in it.

"Isn't that the car we took when we came here?" Oki Ayako said with a puzzled expression.

"It's so late, who is driving?"

When the car passed by the window, everyone just realized that it was the hotel owner who was driving.

Kento Toba showed a knowing smile, "Sure enough, as I expected, the reasoning question and answer is finally about to begin!"

Oki Ayako also praised quickly, but——

The car didn't stop, and Long Jing also noticed something, so he opened his mouth quickly.

"Wait a minute, there is a cliff ahead!"

Hattori Heiji and Conan also came to their senses, and immediately jumped out of the window to chase the car.

"elder sister!"

Long Jing called Yuan Chun to wake him up, and instructed Yuan Chun in the most concise way.

"Catch up with the car outside the window and make it stop!"

Although Yuan Chun didn't know what happened now, she would definitely listen to Long Jing's words.

Mori Ryokawa is originally the younger sister who is responsible for making suggestions, and the older sister only needs to implement the plan of the younger sister Longjing.

Over time, a tacit understanding has been developed between the two of them. No need to say much, my sister Yuanchun knows what to do.

Yuan Chun didn't say much, and jumped out of the window quickly, catching up with Heiji and Conan at the fastest speed, and even about to catch up with a car, but it seemed that God didn't want Yuan Chun to catch up, just when Yuan Chun was about to catch up, the car Suddenly accelerated.

"Hey! What are you doing! Hurry up and stop!"

Yuan Chun hung on the window glass and smashed the window glass, but the innkeeper kept his head down, as if he was asleep.

The dashboard was covered with a blanket, and some strange sounds were heard, and more importantly, there was a blast of heat from inside the car, but Yuan Chun was not someone who cared about such details.

Yuan Chun's pair of pupils shrank suddenly, as if he had confirmed something, he jumped down directly.

The car had already driven to the cliff, and then there was an earth-shattering explosion, and black smoke rose into the sky.

"Uesugi Motoharu! Why didn't you just wake up the innkeeper and tell him to brake!"

Hattori Heiji quickly looked at Yuan Haru, questioning him.

"The innkeeper is dead, is there any other way to brake at that time?"

Yuanchun's very indifferent tone left Hattori Heiji completely speechless, but——

"Sister Yuanchun, you said the hotel owner is dead!"

A trace of shock appeared on Conan's face, and his brows were slightly frowned.

"That's right, I can't misread a dead person..." I'm also a general of the Mori family, okay?

"Sister, you broke the glass just now, did you notice anything wrong?"

Long Jing slowly stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Hmm..." Yuan Chun began to recall, and said slowly, "The heater is turned on in the car, the dashboard is covered with a blanket, and nothing else is fine."

"Turn on the heater...the blanket on the dashboard..." Long Jing's eyes flashed with doubts.

At the same time, Conan's eyes turned to Yuan Chun's right hand. Yuan Chun smashed the glass with a punch just now, but there was no trace of glass scratching on his hand. It seems that he has really practiced.

But having said that, Teacher Tianyang is really surrounded by a bunch of strange people.

First Jack and Gaye, then Longjing and Yuanchun and Brahmamaru...

Afterwards, Heiji and Conan woke up the crowd and gathered in the hall.

Many people expressed their surprise at the innkeeper's death.

Kogoro arrived late, yawning, "It must have committed suicide. It must be because I was reluctant to let you get the first edition of Sherlock Holmes, so I took that book with me to hell."

Kento Toba shook his head and was the first to express his objection.

"No, it could be murder. We saw him drive by, the speed is quite slow, as long as you faint or kill Jingu beforehand, get him in the car, change the gear to D, and the car will automatically move forward .”

At the same time, Toshiaki Fujisawa also nodded, supporting the other party's reasoning.

"So that's how it turned out... the murderer who saw the car crashed, and then pretended to hear the explosion and ran here behind everyone."

"Is the murderer among us?" Maria Toda asked.

"It should be right." Kento Toba nodded.

"Impossible, that car once accelerated halfway, although it was only for a while."

Hattori Heiji pressed his chin, doubts flickered in his brows, "And there is one more strange thing, there is a sound of wind coming from the car, that is not the sound of the engine."

Although it was relatively far away, Hattori Heiji still heard the sound from inside the car after the glass broke.

"It's heating. My sister felt it after breaking the glass. It was indeed heating, but the instrument panel was covered with a blanket. It was obvious that the murderer who arranged all this wanted to cover up something... The weather has been very hot recently. See Apart from the sound of the car's engine, people in this scene are most likely to think of the air conditioner, so the murderer probably wanted to cover up the fact that the car was heated." Long Jing analyzed while talking.

After hearing Takakage's analysis, Hattori Heiji and Conan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and they showed a knowing smile at the same time. However, after smiling, Hattori Heiji also glanced at Conan.

Long Jing, who has read a lot of mystery novels recently, naturally thought of the reason why the murderer did this and the car would speed up.

"Hey, sister Longjing, you should have already thought about what the murderer did!"

Conan imitated the tone of a child and talked to Long Jing like this, but it also made Long Jing feel awkward.

Hattori Heiji's eyes have been focused on Conan. In fact, since he came back last time, he felt that this kid was a little weird. Coupled with the smile just now, Hattori Heiji was even more determined about one thing.

Looking at Conan in front of him, Long Jing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, no matter how you are an 18-year-old adult, why do you still talk to me in such a tone.Also, you are now, and then you call me sister, isn't that secretly mocking my age?

Thinking of this, Long Jing felt bad. In fact, to be honest, her age was about the same as Kudo Shinichi, and she was younger than Kudo Shinichi if she had to say it. Otherwise, she wouldn't be called Sister Xiaolan.

and so--

"boom!"

"Give me death!"

Chapter 5 Long Jing's Reasoning

Conan covered his head with a displeased face, who did he provoke, obviously just asking casually.

Sure enough, Conan's EQ is too low, otherwise he wouldn't have made little progress with Xiaolan.

"Although I already know how the other party killed the innkeeper, but..."

Long Jing pressed his chin, his brows were slightly furrowed, and a serious look flickered in his pair of eyes.

She will not relax in dealing with any case, which is the same as Conan and Heiji.

"Hey, Uesugi, what do you think?" Hattori Heiji stepped forward and asked.

"I guessed how the murderer did it, but the key is that everyone present can do it."

Kobayakawa Takakage couldn't help sighing, the current evidence is not enough, it is really impossible to conclude who is the murderer.

"That's right, the murderer only needs to let Jin Gu, who has been dead for a day, sit in the driver's seat and fix him with his feet on the brakes. After a long time, the body starts to stiffen. The car still wouldn't start. Then the murderer opened the garage before eating, and then went back to the hall, waiting for the body to soften, and the car would start by itself."

"A stiff corpse will soften after 40 hours, but if the temperature rises to 35 degrees, both the stiffness and softening speed will be accelerated, and 24 hours is enough. Jin Gu disappeared after ten o'clock the night before, when he Already killed. The car started at around 3:29 in the morning. It took almost [-] hours, and the time coincided exactly. In order to prevent professionals from investigating the stiffness of the corpse afterwards, the car fell off the cliff. There is no body, and there is no way to ensure that Jin Gu is dead. The reason for the acceleration of the car is that the foot of the deceased slipped off the brake due to bumps in the road. The blanket covering the dashboard prevents people from seeing the heater lamp in the car!"

"To accomplish all this, the murderer just needs to be in the hall with others and witness the car start."

Hattori Heiji said slowly, but there was still a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Do you have anyone you suspect..."

"Yes, yes..." Long Jing nodded lightly, his eyes focused on Kento Toba.

"That Kento Toba persisted until he witnessed the car fall off the cliff with us. There was always a feeling of deliberately creating an alibi. However, there is too little evidence at present, and it is really difficult to prove the murderer. More critical clues are needed. .”

Long Jing's words were approved by Heiji, and at the same time, he expressed admiration for Long Jing in his heart.

Such a powerful female detective is indeed rare, and this is the first time I have seen it in Heiji.

"Damn it! I can't stand it. I'm driving out of here."

Fujisawa Toshiaki was annoyed for a while, so he said, but——
