Chapter 917 Maori of the Hot Spring House
April 8, Saturday, afternoon, Minakami Town, Tone County, Gunma Prefecture, on the way to Aoiya Onsen Hotel.
Maori asked Yamamura police officer to explain the condition of the body, and Yamamura police officer said: "That's right, the person who found the body was a staff member in the Aoi House Hotel. He said that he found it under thick leaves when he went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. Of that corpse."
Maori said, "It's been so many years."
The mountain village police officer said: "It's nothing, Gu Chuanyue's record is 30 years, a pile of bones."
"Ah!" Lan and Yuanzi screamed.
Yamazaki changed the subject, "Officer, please continue to talk about the condition of the body."
The mountain village police officer said: "Speaking of which, the body is really strange. He had the car keys on him, but we just couldn't find the driver's license. Although he had cigarettes on him, we couldn't find matches or a lighter."
Mao Li said: "It's nothing strange, maybe it's because I'm afraid that people will know their identity through the driver's license, so I threw away the driver's license, and the matches may be used up before coming in."
The mountain village police officer said: "It is indeed possible, but the most suspicious thing is that he died in the summer, but he was wearing a sweater."
Conan asked: "How do you know that this person died in Xia Tian?"
"Hey, it's you, you are the kid next to Ms. Yukiko." Officer Yamamura asked excitedly, "Is Miss Yukiko here too? And Mr. Yusaku?"
"Ah," Conan said quickly, "No, no, they didn't come. I just went to Yabuuchi's house with Aunt Yukiko last time."
"So it was that time." Maori said.
Yamazaki said: "Please answer the question, officer, how do you know that this person died in Xia Tian."
The mountain village police officer said: "Oh, we found a bottle of milk and a piece of bread in the backpack carried by the dead body. The expiry dates of these two foods happened to be on July 12 four years ago. His death The wallet also contained a receipt for shopping at a nearby convenience store. It’s just that the milk and bread had already been crushed out of shape due to the impact of the body falling to the ground.”
Maori asked, "Fall to the ground?"
The mountain village police officer said: "A rope was tied around the neck of the corpse, and a branch of a tree next to him broke off. It was probably broken by strong wind or snow after he hanged himself."
Maori asked, "So you've confirmed that it's a suicide case?"
The mountain village police officer said with a smile: "It has yet to be determined. This time I was ordered to ask the staff member to find out the situation again, but now I am fine. I am really lucky to have you as a great detective here." Then he asked, "Yes Now, why did you go there?"
"The Tokiwa Foundation thinks that the deceased may be the prisoner who blackmailed them before," Mao Li said, "entrust me to investigate and confirm the identity of this person, and take a photo and send it over."
Officer Yamamura smiled and said, "The Tokiwa Consortium? I really want to go to the Tokiwa Building. The view of Mt. What about his? Still want to take pictures?"
"The news mentioned the color and style of his clothes, backpack and other items, as well as his long hair. People who experienced it back then thought that these were very similar to the image of the prisoner back then." Maori said, "As for the photos, the Tokiwa Foundation It seems that there is technology that can restore the appearance of the deceased with the skull."
"So that's it." The mountain village police officer said, then pointed to the building in front of him and said, "Ah, here we are, and there is the Aoi House."...
Aoi House Hot Spring Hotel.
After Maori and his group parked in front of the door, a middle-aged male waiter ran to help them park the car, so Maori and his group got out of the car.
After the mountain village police officer entered the hotel, he looked at the large hall and said with a smile: "Oh,
This hotel is really nice. "
Mao Li asked: "Didn't you just say that you want to ask someone to ask you clearly?"
Officer Yamamura said, "It wasn't me who invited them to the police station last time. I saw them in the police station."
A middle-aged male waiter came over, "Hello, Mountain Village Police Officer."
"Ah, it's Mr. Urakawa." Officer Yamamura said, and then introduced, "This is Mr. Urakawa Yuji, the discoverer of the body."
"At that time, I was really taken aback. I never thought that I would find a pile of bones there before." Urakawa Yuji said.
Mao Li asked: "Listen to you, why don't you find the body for the first time?"
Urakawa Yuji said: "That's right, because every time after playing, it's almost me who comes to the store to pick wild vegetables, so there are naturally more opportunities."
The mountain village police officer asked, "What do you mean?"
"Everyone comes to us for skiing and hot springs. In summer, only people come to cool off during the summer vacation, so the boss took us to travel together before the summer vacation, and by the way, see how other hotels are doing." Urakawa Yuji said, "And At that time, it seemed to be the peak of suicides. Every year when we went out to play, we could hear that someone committed suicide in the God Forest next to it. In the years of the economic collapse, there seemed to be more than a dozen people every year.”
The mountain village police officer sighed: "Our country really deserves to be the country with the highest suicide rate in the world. Why are there so many people who can't think about it?"
"Cough!" Maori changed the subject, "Mr. Urakawa, were you the only one who found that body?"
Urakawa Yuji said: "Yes, only one person is needed to dig wild vegetables."
Conan asked, "Then uncle always picks wild vegetables by himself?"
Urakawa Yuji said: "No, I, Jinbo and the boss, Mr. Toda, took turns to go." Then he said, "The one who will help you listen to the car is Jinbo, called Jinbo Masao."
At this time, a middle-aged man brought the waiter over, "Urakawa, what are you doing? The guests are coming, are you going to greet them at the door like this?"
"Ah?" Urakawa Yuji said hastily, "Boss, don't you know this guy? He is a police officer from the mountain village. He and his colleagues asked me some questions."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I blamed you wrongly." Boss Toda said, and then said to Yamazaki and others, "Guests, please come in quickly." He said and motioned for the waiter to come forward to welcome the guests, and then asked Yamamura Police Officer and Mori , "Officer Mountain Village, I don't know what you and your colleagues are here for?"
"Ah, no, I'm not a policeman." Maori said quickly.
"Let me introduce you," the mountain village police officer said with a smile, "this is a famous detective..."
Boss Toda said happily: "Ah, I know, he is the servant of Detective Maori."
"Cough, cough..." Mao Li was originally proud of his statement, but he choked on his own saliva before he could laugh.
Boss Toda smiled and said, "Why are you here now? Mr. Mori has already come one step ahead and is waiting for you in the room."
"What!" Everyone was shocked.
Mei Daizi smiled and said, "This is fun."
Yuanzi smiled and said, "Lan, you have many..."
"Yuanzi!" Lan said angrily.
Maori shouted: "You said Maori Kogoro is already in this hotel!"
"That's right, it was just three hours ago." Boss Toda said, "Speaking of which, he is really kind to others. All our staff members went to ask him to sign for him just now. I will look for it later. People frame it."
"Damn it," Molly said through gritted teeth.
"What room number does he live in?" Lan asked with her sleeves folded.
"Mr. Mori lives in room 209." Boss Toda smiled.
"I'll go find him." Lan said angrily.
"Wait." Mao Li stopped Lan, "Isn't there often such a plot in costume dramas? When the deity and the counterfeit meet are often the climax of the whole drama, we will do whatever we can, and wait until dinner Meet that guy in the restaurant, and then use reasoning questions to expose his true colors, then he will probably be scared out of his wits." He laughed triumphantly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lan said, then looked around Yamazaki, Mei Daizi, and Sonoko, "you talk too."
Yamazaki said, "No problem."
"I think it's quite interesting." Sonoko said with a smirk.
"Me too." Mei Daizi smiled.
"Really." Lan complained, and then said to the mountain village police officer, "mountain village police officer, why don't you explain to them quickly."
"Well," the mountain village police officer said with a smile, "this method is not bad."
"Ah? What?" Lan was taken aback.
"Okay, let's go in." Mori smiled, and followed Mr. Toda in with Officer Yamamura.
Lan complained softly: "Really, is he really a criminal policeman?"
Yuanzi whispered, "Although I don't think it's reliable, it's also quite interesting."
Yamazaki said in a low voice: "Don't underestimate him, everyone has a rookie time, and being able to become a criminal policeman like this is a testament to his ability."
Mei Daizi asked in a low voice: "What ability? Officer Takagi is much better than him."
"Examination ability." Yamazaki laughed softly.
Sonoko whispered: "Oh, I heard from He Ye that Hattori's father is very strict with Hattori's performance."
"Why did it all involve Hattori?" Lan said angrily, "Really, I won't tell you."
At this time, everyone went to the front desk to register. Boss Toda asked Mori's name. Mori thought about it for a while and smiled, "My name is Echigo Koemon. I am an insignificant unknown person. You don't need to greet me."
"That's great." The mountain village police officer applauded.
"Huh?" Boss Toda was stunned.
Yuanzi chuckled and said, "Lan, your father is too involved in the drama."
Mei Daizi chuckled softly, "I think things are interesting."
"Don't worry about him." Lan said angrily.
After that, Maori asked for the cheapest room, and Yamazaki, Mei Daizi and Yuanzi asked for the two most expensive rooms.
After registering, Boss Yuan Tian smiled at Mao Li: "By the way, Mr. Yuan Shan, I wonder if I could ask you for a favor?"
"What?" Molly asked.
Boss Toda smiled and said, "Mr. Mori has taken that suitcase for several hours, and I don't know if he has solved the puzzle inside. Please help me to see it."
"What about me..." Mao Li said halfway, then quickly changed his words and asked, "Which suitcase are you talking about?"
"You don't know?" Boss Toda asked suspiciously, "Isn't that why Mr. Mori came here?"
"Well, he hasn't told me yet," Molly asked, "could you please?"
"Of course." Boss Toda said, "This matter has been going on for a long time. One autumn, a long-haired man in a red coat stayed here. When he left, he said he wanted me to keep a letter and a suitcase, and said Even if he dies, he will come to pick it up a year later."
"How do I get it when I'm dead?" Yuanzi said to Lan in a gloomy tone, "Could it be a ghost?"
"Ah!" Lan was so frightened that he hugged Conan in his arms like a pillow.
"Wait, the long-haired man in the red coat?" Shancun Police Officer asked, "Is he the same pile of bones?"
"I don't know about that." Boss Toda said, "I can't remember what he looks like."
The mountain village police officer asked, "Why didn't you tell our police about this?"
Boss Yuan Tian said: "Because I can't be sure, they are all bones."
"Ha, I see," Maury said, "You must want to keep the contents of the box to yourself, so you dare not tell the police."
"What is it?" Yamamura Police Officer asked, then reacted and shouted, "It's the 100 million yen."
"What!" Boss Toda exclaimed, "There is that kind of thing, it's just a newspaper, a newspaper."
"Newspaper? Don't quibble," Mao Li said with a smile, "You must have waited for the man to leave and couldn't help reading the letter, and found that there was 100 million yen in the box. You opened it and found that it was true, so you chased after him. The person above killed him, then found a place to bury him, and after the remains turned into bones, they were dug out for people to find, making people think it was someone who committed suicide here before.”
"It's so, so exciting." The mountain village police officer applauded, "You really deserve to be Mao, uh, Mr. Yuanshan."
"No, it's not like that." Boss Yuan Tian sweated, "It's really a newspaper, Mr. Police Officer, you have to believe me."
"I believe there are newspapers in the box now, because that's what was put in, and you exchanged the newspapers for the money in it." The mountain village police officer said with a smile, "It's really great, you can solve a murder case with your hands."
"That's not the case." Boss Toda yelled, and then said, "By the way, Mr. Mori, Mr. Mori, he will definitely help me get rid of the suspicion." After saying that, he ran away.
"Mr. Toyama?" Yamamura police officer asked Maori.
"It's better to expose that counterfeit product earlier, let's go." Mao Li smiled. ...
