[Conan] Waiting for the dawn

I didn't sleep too soundly all night.It always feels like someone is having a party on the other end, and there is a lot of noise in the courtyard.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Yukimura slept soundly, Yingying could only wake up in a daze, and opened the door without turning on the light.

"Excuse me! Excuse me...does Orimtsui Police Department live here?" A girl who looked like a staff member stood at the door, her tone full of apology and anxiety.

police department?Who still calls her that here?Disturb the vacation!

"I am, what's the matter?" The soul of the police still does not allow her to get angry with such a cute girl.

"It's like this. A murder case happened in the courtyard just now. A woman drowned in the landscape hot spring... We have already called the police, but because the road up the mountain was under repair, there was another car accident half an hour ago. The police Can't get there soon. There is a detective among the guests, and his daughter said that you live here as a policeman, let me come and try to find it..."

……

Mu Mu, I seem to understand your mood suddenly.

Maori is really a god of death.

That was the case, Yingying casually put on her clothes and combed her hair before going out.

There were less than ten people gathered at the scene, Amuro was squatting in front of the corpse to take pictures, and Conan was also watching around.

"Miss Ori Mitsui!" Xiaolan ran over, seeming a little frightened, "Our room is relatively close to here, we heard their voices, ran out and found that they had pulled out the woman who fell in the landscape pool and found that she had died. died……"

Yingying tied her hair casually with the hair tie on her wrist, her mind was still dazed due to lack of sleep, she patted her on the shoulder comfortingly: "Let me take a look first."

The deceased, Sujiang, came to the hotel alone, and secretly followed his ex-boyfriend Inoue, who was here on vacation; at the time of the incident, Inoue, his current girlfriend Kyoko, and younger sister Sakura were enjoying a big meal on the second floor, and all three of them went out to the bathroom alone on the way. Minutes, girlfriend 10 minutes, Inoue 15 minutes.

After understanding the general situation, Yingying stood by the pool and pressed her temples wearily.

"Miss Lan, where is your father?" Mao Li was not there.

"We went to eat again after soaking in the hot spring. Dad is very drunk, and he probably won't be able to wake up for a while..." Xiaolan was a little embarrassed.

……

The chain is dropped at the critical moment.

After thinking for a while, I looked at the detective Toru Amuro at the scene: "Mr. Amuro, after all, I am not specialized in dealing with this kind of incident. Before they arrive, I will assist and listen to your opinion."

After Amuro responded, he quickly entered the state and evacuated the irrelevant staff, but encountered a little obstacle.

Inoue: "Hey, what does her death have to do with us? Why don't you let us go? It's just an ex-girlfriend. We didn't come together. And if we drown her in the pool, we must at least have water stains on us, right? We haven't changed our clothes from the beginning to the end. - Anyway, we have to wait for the police to come, what power do you have as a detective..."

Yingying is very irritable when she lacks sleep, and the ear-piercing sound makes her temples throb.Walking up to Amuro, he showed his ID to Inoue, and said in a simple sentence: "I advise you to cooperate, I am afraid of myself when I move rough."

……

……

"……Yes."

But to be honest, it's just doing some preliminary investigations to control a few people from running away. After all, we still have to wait for the police car to come up to solve the case.

Yingying stood at the scene of the crime—beside the landscape pool, and looked around with a sleepy expression.

The water in the pool is not deep, less than half a meter, so the possibility of murder is indeed relatively high.It may also be an accident after the deceased was drunk, or he was extremely afraid of water even though he was awake... After all, people who are afraid of water come to hot spring hotels to die.

She felt that her brain, which she had always been proud of, was not able to turn around at this time, so she could only sigh, and her feet unconsciously rubbed against the ground...

"Ori Mitsui Police Department, be careful!"

Yingying startled, turned around.

Toru Amuro was kneeling on the ground to see if there were any traces. At this time, he raised his head and looked at her: "Every few stones by the pool are relatively smooth, so be careful not to fall."

Yingying was surprised by the sudden concern, but he still accepted his kindness, and there was a warning sign next to it saying "the pool is smooth, no soaking in hot water"...it was obvious.From this point of view, the possibility of an accident is unlikely, if the deceased was sober at the time.

She looked at Toru Amuro's back. At this time, he was not wearing a yukata for convenience, but a close-fitting T-shirt and cotton trousers, which perfectly outlined the upper body.The lines of the back are very smooth, and the originally slender arms can also be seen with looming muscles following the movement.

……

Yingying looked away, looking at the pool thoughtfully.

"Miss Ori Mitsui!" Conan ran over, "Brother Amuro asked me to ask those three people some questions, I already know a lot, do I need to tell you something?"

Yingying looked at the pool and answered irrelevant questions: "Is the murderer an ex-boyfriend?"

Conan was stunned, "...how did you know?"

"Guess."

Conan laughed dryly, feeling full of embarrassment, "This, so..."

Yingying: "Don't underestimate a woman's intuition. The deceased came here alone with his ex-boyfriend. Who else could be the murderer besides him?"

"Y-you can't say that...Mr. Inoue said that after the breakup, Ms. Sujiang has been pestering him, even after she had Ms. Kyoko. Mr. Inoue's younger sister, Ms. Sakura, is still Ms. Kyoko's good friend, and she has always been very friendly. I like Miss Sujiang... So speaking of it, all three of them have motives."

Yingying stared at him half-jokingly: "Oh, Conan, you are so smart."

"Conan is not a simple child. When he is with Mr. Mori, he can often find the key points of the case...Isn't it, Conan?" Amuro Toru finished checking the ground, stood up and patted the soil, his eyes seemed to be very clear. He looked at Conan meaningfully.

"Ha... ah ha ha ha..." Conan scratched his head and smirked, then lowered his eyes and stared at the dark-skinned young man.

"I said, when will we be allowed to go to sleep? It's all said that we can't commit crimes at all. Kyoko and I go to the bathroom early in the morning and late at night. Although the time is not short, it is not a good idea to kill her too early. The body will be found at that time, and it’s not right if it’s too late. Although my brother’s timing is suspicious, he only went out for 2 minutes! We ate on the second floor, and look at this building, from the room to here, she drowned. Impossible once!"

Indeed, how to get here from the second floor through the stairs within 2 minutes to kill the dead and then go back is the key... unless he is an agent, he can jump directly from there and climb back. ...Look at that figure, it doesn't look like it.

Both Amuro and Conan were rubbing their chins and pondering. They didn't look very distressed, and it didn't seem like a very complicated case.Yingying yawned, but it had nothing to do with her, she had no interest in this kind of violent crime.

On the one hand, Inoue was still chattering: "She is really too much, she keeps calling me and sending emails, and I admire her for following here! Because she fell asleep in a hot spring and almost drowned, so I told her She has never been to a hot spring hotel when we were together, and this time she spent a lot of money to follow me..."

? ?Why do you say things like this to increase your suspicion...

"...Even so, I really never thought of killing her!" He said forcefully.

"..." Enough, Yingying raised her head, "What a beautiful sky..."

I don't know which nerve this sentence touched the nerves of the two detectives. The two of them suddenly opened their eyes wide... and looked at each other.Then he showed a pretentious smile of "I understand".

"——Then, let's restore the scene at the time of the crime first." Amuro cleared his throat, with a confident smile on his mouth, and politely looked at Xiaolan, "Miss Lan, can you please pretend to be Su Jiang for a while?" Small--"

"Let Ms. Ori Mitsui come!" Conan suddenly said in a clear and clear child's voice, facing Amuro's frowning and scratching his head, he explained, "Bi, after all, Miss Ori Mitsui and Miss Sue are closer in size, look, Ori Mitsui Miss is taller than sister Xiaolan."

...does it have something to do with height?

Undoubtedly there is him: "No problem, I'll do it."

"..." Amuro felt a little helpless, closed his eyes, "Okay, then, Miss Ori Mitsui, please stand on the rock by the pool and squat down—be careful, it's a bit slippery."

Yingying obeyed the command and stood up, it was really slippery, it was no problem to squat like this, but if——

"Miss Ori Mitsui, look, today's moon is crescent." Amuro said suddenly.

Liar, she saw it just now, it was obviously close to the full moon.Bewitched by his voice, the excellent brain forgot his feet for a moment, stood up and turned his head to look back and up.

At that moment, his center of gravity was unstable, his foot slipped, and with a short scream, he slid lingeringly into the pool... With his hands stuck on both sides of his waist, the clear pronunciation of "I'm sorry" came from his ears, and he fell into the pool. It was pulled out of the water and fell to the ground in a second.

???

……

Yingying could still hear her own heart beating, and looked at the water-stained leg exposed under the bathrobe.

Even though he knew that the pool was not deep, he knew that playing the dead might fall into it...but it all came too suddenly.

The slippers floated into the water, and Yingying's feet stepped on the ground.

Conan trotted over and handed over the spare slippers he had just prepared.

"...It turns out that you also know the technique." Yingying sighed meaningfully.

"Yes, Brother Amuro reminded me!"

Yeah?She glanced sideways at Toru Amuro.

His hand had been released the first second after landing, but she still felt the electric shock on both sides of her waist.Shoulders, arms, there are so many positions that can be pulled, but he just happened to choose a place where she is most sensitive.

"—So, we can see that in fact, the murderer doesn't need to go downstairs at all, and he doesn't get his clothes wet. He just needs to stand on the second floor and call the deceased, telling her to look up at the moon or I'm right behind you." Then, she would naturally stand up and turn her head because of surprise or surprise. Immediately, Miss Sujiang fell into the water, but because she was very afraid of water, even a pool of this depth was enough to push her to death.

"So, the murderer is you—Miss Sujiang's ex-boyfriend, Mr. Inoue!" After finishing his reasoning, Amuro walked up two steps with his hands in his trouser pockets, his words were full of confidence, "You said you came out to go to the bathroom, but it was not at all. , you just stand on the verandah on the second floor and call Miss Sujiang in the courtyard, and watch her drown in the pool with your own eyes."

"Don't, don't talk nonsense!" Younger sister Ying looked at her brother at a loss, and broke out in a second, "You are talking about Sujiang squatting by the pool, so how can my brother let her go! She Just squat there obediently?"

Amuro closed her eyes, and was about to speak when Conan took the first step: "Because it's a coincidence."

Everyone fell into doubt.

Yingying's brain suddenly became flexible, and she instantly understood what it meant, and she let out a long sigh.

Conan: "Hey Brother Amuro, do you have a girlfriend?"

Haunting black question mark face.

Xiaolan: "Conan!!"

Amuro: "...No. Why do you ask?"

Conan didn't answer, and asked again: "Then have you ever had a girlfriend?"

Amuro rolled his eyes helplessly, as if he didn't know how to say to the child: "I'm almost 30 years old anyway... Of course I've had this before."

"Then if your ex-girlfriend is still clinging to you after breaking up, it's crazy, would you want to kill her?"

"Of course not!" Toru Amuro replied quickly, "Is this a matter of course? Although it would make me very distressed if she pestered me, this kind of behavior is not to the point of killing people. At most, I will apply in the end Get the police involved."

Yingying sighed: "Yeah, this is what we ordinary people think. There are too many things that make us unhappy in our lives. The meals we buy in fast food restaurants are always too small, and the neighbors upstairs are constantly disturbing the people. A friend or colleague who keeps stealing the limelight makes people uncomfortable... In fact, there are normal solutions to these things, how can anyone say that they will kill when they are unhappy? Is there anything that can only be solved by killing?"

She looked towards Inoue and said slowly: "Your ex-girlfriend is a bit extreme, what she needs is a psychiatrist; you know this too, so you didn't actually intend to kill her at all, you just happened to see her At that time, I was squatting by the pool, wanting her to fall into the water to make a fool of myself and teach her a lesson, but I didn't expect...she was really afraid of water, afraid that once the water flooded her nasal cavity, she would lose control and struggle to die in front of you before."

He must have been terribly frightened at the time, that's why he took the initiative to tell about his ex-girlfriend's fear of water without thinking about it.

"I... I really didn't do it on purpose..." Inoue was trembling all over, kneeling on the ground exhausted, covering his face and crying bitterly, "I was in love with each other after all, I really didn't want to kill her... But she kept pushing I, I had no choice but to teach her a lesson... I really didn't want to kill her..."

……

All the truth was revealed, and the sound of sirens came from outside.

Alas, heroes really are always late.

It was also very helpless for Mu Mu Police Department to be called up to the mountain in the middle of the night. Although the case had been solved, he was busy all the time and didn't say a few words to Ying Ying.The call records of the deceased's mobile phone found in the corner of the courtyard became the evidence, and it was precisely because Inoue killed people unintentionally and was overly fearful that he forgot the existence of such evidence.

Conan asked Amuro: "Brother Amuro, how do you feel about this case?"

The other party touched his chin when he heard the words, "Well... don't play tricks on people casually, it may cause a big incident?"

"..." Conan turned to look at Yingying, "Miss Ori Mitsui, what about you?"

Yingying thought for two seconds, then smiled: "I want to find a girlfriend who will not cling to others after breaking up, such as me."

……

There was a drop of sweat on Amuro's face: "It's getting late, Miss Ori Mitsui, go back and rest, I saw that you didn't even open your eyes when you came out."

Yingying glanced at her phone, it was already four o'clock in the morning, so she simply said, "I'll go to the hot spring again, there will be no one here anyway. If I go back, I'm afraid I'll wake up my roommate."

……

Leaning in the hot spring pool, Yingying's hands dipped into the water and caressed the two pieces of skin on her waist.

She thought she might be really lonely.

I started to miss that feeling.

Getting ready to go home the next morning, Yukimura looked helplessly at Yingying's dark circles and said, "You can still catch up with the case when you're on vacation, it's not easy for a police officer..."

She took the car keys and got into the driver's seat, after all, she wouldn't dare to sit in the car of someone who hadn't slept all night.

Yingying likes to drive an off-road vehicle, the reason is actually the soil turtle's "no collision, drive steadily".Yukimura doesn't like it, it's more laborious to park than a small car, and she always thinks that Ori Mitsui bought the Toyota domineering because she wants to drive with someone...

"Speaking of which, you got in touch with that handsome guy again when you were handling the case. What's the progress? Why didn't you just go to his room after the end!" Yukimura chatted while holding the steering wheel.

Yingying rolled her eyes, "What do you think of me as you, am I such an active woman? Why do you want the other party to take the initiative."

Yukimura sneered, "Okay, okay, you are amazing, don't come to me and cry when your little brother's girlfriend is not you."

"Cut." Yingying looked out the window with huge dark circles under her eyes.

"I have another question."

"Ok?"

"How on earth did you know that your ex-boyfriend was the murderer when you didn't know the modus operandi? Don't tell me your intuition!"

"..."

In fact, it was just because she didn't sleep well all night that she heard an incomplete "well" in the courtyard in a daze.

That was the person Su Jiang thought of calling for help at the last moment when he fell into the water, and he was also the person who looked at her on the second floor and watched her sink in.

... ex-boyfriend.

The author has something to say:

Looking at the outline, I fell into deep thought, and felt that I would be beaten into a pig's head by Aoyama in the future.

However, what does it matter...

Just be happy v Happy New Year!
