Chapter 492: The Secret Room of the Tour Group

August 12th, Tuesday night, Izu Prince Hotel.

After the incident, the hotel immediately called the police, and the police cordoned off the scene immediately after they arrived. During this period, because Conan didn't want to leave the scene, Lan had to go to Maori alone. Lan first notified Yamazaki and Mei Daizi, but they said they would come down after supper. Although he was found in the Emerald Bar on the second floor, he seemed to be very drunk and fell asleep, so Lan had to let him continue to sleep.

When Lan returned to the scene again, he saw Conan crossing the blockade and running towards the body that had just been photographed, and immediately said loudly: "Conan, you can't mess around." Then saw a police officer pick up Conan , quickly crossed the blockade and ran to Conan, saluted and said, "I'm really sorry."

"Huh?" said the police officer, "Isn't this Miss Lan?"

"Ah?" Lan took a closer look, "You are police officer Henggou Sanwu from Saitama County, but why are you here?"

Officer Henggou said with a smile: "I was transferred to Shizuoka County last month."

"Ah?" Lan laughed, "So you have been promoted to the police department? Congratulations, congratulations."

"TOEFL, TOEFL." The Henggou Police Department put Conan down and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Conan went to lift off the mask of the Baron of the Night on the corpse's face, looked at the face, and was taken aback. At the same time, he found that the corpse was wearing only one glove, and his tie was the opposite of the tie in his pocket. , opened the clothes and looked at it, the belt was tied to the left.

Conan went to look at the belt, moved his head away, and Lan saw the appearance of the body, and was immediately taken aback, "Mr. Jiang Yuan!"

"Oh," Henggou Police Department asked, "Miss Lan, do you know this man who is dressed like the Baron of the Night in the TV series?"

"Yes." Lan said something about the Izu suspense tour group.

"Find the initiator of the tour group, the Dark Night Duke, and you can get a free tour, and there is also a mysterious program." Henggou Police Department asked, "Is that so?"

"Yes." Lan confirmed.

The Henggou Police Department ordered their subordinates to gather the members of the suspense tour group, and then asked, "By the way, Miss Lan, where is Mr. Mao Li?"...

Emerald Bar on the second floor of the hotel.

Maybe it was because of the half of the fee. Hearing that the Night Lord was dead, Maori woke up, "What did you just say?" He drank a glass of sober wine while talking.

The Henggou Police Department said: "Mr. Jiangyuan fell to his death dressed as the Baron of the Night. According to the testimony of eyewitnesses, he fell on the bronze statue at about ten o'clock in the evening."

"Ten o'clock!" Maori looked at his watch, it was more than ten o'clock in the evening, "ah, it's so late."

At this time, someone on the intercom reported, "Police, the deceased's face showed signs of being beaten."

"Ah, that may have been called by my friend in the afternoon." Lan said, "Henggou Police Department, you have seen them before, they are Yamazaki and Mei Daizi, he wanted to harass me and Mei Daizi, Mei Daizi beat me twice , once on the left cheek, once on the front face, between the mouth and nose."

"Two hits indeed." The policeman said, "The location is the same as the lady said."

"Mei Daiko? It's Ms. Miyamoto Mei Daiko." The Henggou Police Department thought for a while and said, "However, Yamazaki..."

"My assistant," Mao Li asked, "by the way, they are upstairs in room 2301, do you want to go and have a look?" Then he asked again,

"By the way, have you been to Mr. Jiang Yuan's room?"

"I went, but the door is locked, and there is still some work to be done before it can be broken open." The Henggou Police Department said, "I think we should go to Miss Mei Daizi's Room 2301 first."...

Room 2301 of Yamazaki and Mei Daizi.

On the way, Conan ran back to his room to get his notebook, and Yamazaki just opened the door when he came over.

"Uncle Maori, why are you here? This is, by the way, you are police officer Henggou," Yamazaki said, "Hi, I really didn't expect to see you here, oh, by the way, this is Shizuoka County, it seems that I want to call you the police department."

"By the way, you are Yamazaki." Henggou Police Department said.

"Yes, I am Uncle Maori's assistant Yamazaki. Uncle Maori, Henggou Police Department, please come in and talk." Yamazaki led the four of them into the living room.

Looking at the situation in the living room, the four of them blinked their small eyes twice together. There are two big crabs on the dining table in the living room, each of which is more than half a meter in size. Mei Daizi is holding a huge crab claw with a radius of more than 20 centimeters and a length of nearly one meter. The big crab claw is grabbing a hand full of meat from it.

Mei Daizi stretched out her hand and asked with a smile, "Uncle, Lan, do you want some?"

"No, no need." Maori and Lan shook their heads together.

Mei Daizi shrugged, dipped the crab meat into some seasonings on the plates in front of her, and then ate it. Conan took a look, one plate was crab roe, and the others, one of which might be ginger vinegar, the rest could not be recognized.

"Cough!" Henggou Police Department asked, "Excuse me, where were you at ten o'clock in the evening?"

"We are right here. These two crabs were delivered at nine fifty. When Lan called, the waiter hadn't left yet." Yamazaki said with a smile, "If ten o'clock is the time when the crime happened, we There is an alibi."

The Henggou Police Department used the walkie-talkie to ask the department to go to the front desk to check.

Yamazaki asked: "Uncle, the Henggou Police Department, you will come up to ask us, so the dead man dressed as the Baron of the Night is not Mr. Ehara Tokio who was beaten by Mei Daiko in the afternoon, right?"

"No way?" Mei Daizi was surprised.

"Yes," Henggou Police Department said, "the deceased is Mr. Jiang Yuan."

At this time, someone reported on the intercom that there was indeed such a thing, because the crab was very big, and the two waiters were very impressed. They entered Room 2301 at 9:56 and were with the Mr. and Mrs. in the room all the time. At about 10:50, a phone call came from the room. The gentleman in room 2301 said that they would go down after eating supper, and they left around 10:60. Also, these two crabs were booked in the evening.

"In this way, our suspicion can be cleared?" Yamazaki said with a smile, "We and Mr. Jiangyuan met for the first time today. Although there were some conflicts, we were not the ones who suffered. Later, he was sent to the consulting room. We returned He left the room and never met, there is no reason for us to plan to kill him since the evening."

The Henggou Police Department used the walkie-talkie to ask again. The order for room 2301 was at 4:55, and Jiang Yuan Tokino left the consultation room around 5:30.

The Henggou Police Department said to Yamazaki: "You are right."

At this time, a police officer reported that it was time to break into Room 2101 of Jiang Yuan Tokio.

"Uncle Maori, let me go with you." Yamazaki said, "Mei Daizi, if you want to come, come after eating, don't waste it."

"I see." Mei Daizi said. ...

Outside room 2101 of Jiang Yuan Shinan.

After the arrival of the Henggou Police Department, he ordered the police officers who were ready to break the door.

The door lock is a slide rail type, if locked, the door can only be pushed a short distance, the police officer cut the slide rail with a cutting machine and opened the door.

When I entered the room, I saw a set of underwear on the floor and a room card.

Mao Li said: "These clothes are all worn by Mr. Jiangyuan tonight. Even the room key is left here. Mr. Jiangyuan must be very drunk to do this."

At this time, a gust of wind blew in. Maori saw that the sliding glass door of the balcony was open, walked over, and found that the outside of the balcony was outside the building, and immediately retreated a little weakly.

The Henggou Police Department came over and said, "It seems that Mr. Jiang Yuan fell from this place."

Maury said: "I think it's just a pure accident. Look, his gloves are still caught on the railing. I think he might want to jump off dressed like this and go to other rooms to scare others, but he didn't think of acting." He even lost his life."

"J-jump from here?" Henggou Police Department was taken aback, "This is the 21st floor."

"Yes, would most people go downstairs from the balcony on the 21st floor without using a rope?" Conan said while making notes in his notebook, "And the key card for this room is clearly in the room, even if he is lucky enough to get to the balcony below , and can leave from the room downstairs, without the key to this room, there is still no way to come back here.”

"Stupid!" Molly planted a mushroom on Conan's head. "That's not a problem for a drunk. And don't you watch TV?"

"Ah." Conan cried out in pain, and dropped the pen in his hand. Conan hurried to pick it up, but the pen rolled out of the balcony through the gap in the railing, "Ah, my pen!"

"Television?" Henggou Police Department asked, "Mr. Maori, you mean the Baron of the Night that is currently on air?"

Mao Li said: "That's right, the main character of this film is a character who roams among the buildings."

The Henggou Police Department said: "By the way, Mr. Jiang Yuan is just learning from him."

"That's right, it's not surprising for drunk people to do weird things." Mori said, "And with Mr. Jiang Yuan's height, if you hold onto the railing of the balcony on the 21st floor, you should be able to step on the balcony on the 20th floor above the railing. I think Mr. Jiang Yuan would definitely be able to jump into the balcony on the 20th floor if he was not drunk."

"That's true." The Henggou police department laughed, "You really deserve to be a Maori detective."

"Where, where." Mao Li laughed triumphantly, and then said, "Come on, let's go down to see Mr. Jiang Yuan's body."...

on site.

When Mao Li saw the body, he said, "It's lucky that it didn't fall directly on the ground, but on the bronze statue, and there was only a big hole, and it didn't break in two." Then he looked carefully.

Seeing Conan crawling on the ground, Lan asked, "Conan, what are you doing?"

"Ah, Sister Lan," Conan said, "I'm looking for the pen I dropped just now."

At this time, other members of the tour group were brought over by the police.

Maeda Satoshi said: "Is this true, Mr. Mori, did Mr. Jiang Yuan really fall downstairs and die?"

Mori stood up and said, "It's absolutely unmistakable. It was Mr. Ehara Tokio who fell, and he was dressed as a dark baron."

"So that's how it is," Genichiro Jincheng said, "It turns out that the host of this tour group, the Duke of Dark Night, is Mr. Jiang Yuan."

Akiko Sayama said: "I knew it, I also thought that person was weird at first."

Maeda Satoshi said, "Akiko, don't talk about that."

Hideko Kamijou asked, "But why did Mr. Jiang Yuan fall from the building?"

"It was just an accident. He originally chose to go through the balcony in order to scare Mr. Jincheng Genichiro in room 2001 downstairs, but he may have drunk too much and fell off the balcony." Mao Li said, " All in all, the Night Duke is dead now, and this tour can come to an end."

"It's strange, it's so strange," Conan said, pointing to the tie on the body, "How could this tie be like this, come and see this tie knot."

"Tie knot?" Henggou Police Department looked at it and said, "Indeed, this tie knot is reversed."

Maori said, "But maybe it's just his own habit."

"I have one of his ties here." Conan took out the tie in his pocket.

"What's with this tie?" Molly asked.

Conan said: "Mr. Jiang Yuan forgot this in the restaurant. A waitress gave it to me and asked me to bring it to him."

The Henggou Police Department took a look at the tie, and said, "That's right, this tie is tied in the same way as ordinary people."

"Stinky boy!" Maori planted a mushroom on Conan's head, "This kind of thing should have been taken out a long time ago."

"Ah!" Conan squatted on the ground with his head in his arms.

"Huh?" The Henggou Police Department checked the rest of the body's clothes, and then said, "Mr. Maori, look at the belt, it is also reversed. Generally speaking, it should be worn to the right. These two points are really unreasonable. Now, he didn't put this suit on himself, but someone put it on for him."

"Henggou Police Department, it may also be the cause of drunkenness. There are people who are naked after drinking, not to mention wearing the wrong clothes." Mao Li said, "I think it is necessary to check the alcohol concentration in his body."

At this time, a forensic officer came to ask for instructions on how to deal with the body, whether to transport it back to the police station immediately, conduct an autopsy on the body, and extract fingerprints from the clothes.

"This..." Before the Henggou Police Department could speak, a report came from the walkie-talkie, and Mr. Jiang Yuan found an abnormality on the lock of room 2101, please go over.

"Is the investigation room ready?" Henggou Police Department asked a police officer.

"Yes, there is an office on the third floor." The police officer said.

The Henggou Police Department said to the forensic personnel: "Then, let's borrow a room from the hotel to store the remains temporarily. You can check the fingerprints on the belt and other objects to be inspected first." Then he said to Mao Li, "Mr. Mao Li, Let's go up and have a look."...

Room 2101 of Jiang Yuan Tokio.

The forensic officer held the lock and said: "Henggou Police Department, there is a piece of transparent adhesive tape on it. It looks like the fracture was broken due to excessive tension."

The Henggou Police Department asked: "So, what does this mean?"

"If you stick the transparent tape on the lock, you can also hang the lock from the outside." The forensic personnel experimented with the next room, stuck the transparent tape on the lock, and then held the door and pulled it hard, and the lock was indeed hanging. Put it up and try harder, the transparent tape broke.

The Henggou Police Department said: "It turns out that this is because the length of the padlock is used."

Maori said: "As long as you take out the key, you can do it again even if you don't succeed once, and maybe because of the panic, the person who used this technique didn't notice that the tape was torn off. In other words, this is A homicide."

The Henggou Police Department said: "In other words, Mr. Jiangyuan was pushed from the room on the 21st floor to the bronze statue by the real host, the Lord of the Night. He changed Mr. Jiangyuan into the clothes of the Lord of the Night, and pushed him from the balcony. After pushing it down, he took his room card, and then used the method just now to hang the anti-theft lock, and then waited until the anti-theft lock was locked, and then threw the key into the room through the crack of the door. In this way, the room became a secret room , everyone will think it was an accident."

Yamazaki said: "Henggou Police Department, we don't know whether the Duke of Dark Night is dressed like this. There are many places selling this kind of Baron of Dark Night clothes. I think we should first find out Mr. Jiang Yuan's identity and background to see if he has any enemies. Kind of like that. There are hundreds of people in this hotel, and thousands of people around here. It cannot be ruled out that outsiders knew about the tour group and did it on purpose, and there are no traces of fighting here. Maybe sleeping pills or drugs were used. Things, I think it is necessary to check the containers in this room, as well as the hotel's garbage bins."

"What you said makes sense." The Henggou Police Department ordered the forensic personnel to start work, and then asked, "Mr. Mao Li, do you know the identities of Mr. Jiang Yuan and the rest of the tour group?"

"I just learned from Ms. Kamijou that all of them are engaged in computer software-related industries, except for Mr. Maeda and Ms. Akiko. They are interested in the game of finding the Duke of Night because they like Baron of the Night. Participate in this tour group." Mao Li said, "As for their specific identities, I think it's better to ask them themselves."

"Okay," Henggou Police Department said, "Mr. Maori, I'll ask the tour group members to go to the temporary investigation room right away, let's go there."...

On the way, Lan asked, "Dad, I haven't asked you yet, what did you do when you were with Miss Kamijou?"

"Huh?" Molly said, "No, nothing."

"What you didn't do was what you did." Lan asked.

"What's not done is what's not done," Maori said.

"Father!" Lan was very dissatisfied.

"Well, I fell asleep while drinking." Maori said shyly.

"Really?" Lan asked with a smile.

"Really." Molly smiled bitterly. ...
