Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 660 Gao Yuan's Advance Reminder

"What! The innkeeper is dead!"

Standing on the edge of the cliff where the explosion occurred after the car fell, because the explosion just now was so shocking, everyone who had already returned to their rooms to rest was all awakened, and ran outside the hotel one after another, right at the edge of the cliff with billowing smoke .

After hearing Hattori Heiji's explanation, Fujisawa Toshiaki had an unbelievable expression on his face, and made a sound of surprise just now in a daze.

Regarding this, Hattori Heiji, who was putting his hands in his trouser pockets and looking at the scene under the cliff, replied affirmatively:
"Yeah. The shopkeeper, dressed as Sherlock Holmes, just fell into the sea with the car in front of my eyes."

"How could this be? Master, he..."

After hearing the bad news, the waitress Hitomi Iwai couldn't accept it. She was so panicked that she was crying, and the faces of the rest of the people were also unattractive. It was completely unexpected that Hiroyuki Kanaya, who hadn't shown up for a long time, was here. some time to die in this way—

"Ah...it must be suicide!"

However, at this moment, Kogoro, who came out behind everyone, looked like he was still asleep, and was yawning about what happened right now, and said slowly with a little helplessness:
"It must be that you are reluctant to let you get the first edition of "Sherlock Holmes", so you choose to rush down with that book."

"No, it could have been murdered, too."

But regarding this, Toba Kento on the side seemed a little proud and excited, and refuted Kogoro's rhetoric.

But his attitude inevitably made the other people present feel a little panic——

"I saw him fall, and the speed can be said to be quite slow. As long as you confuse or kill the owner, get him into the car, and put the car's gear in D, the car will automatically move forward. what."

Regardless of the current atmosphere, Toba Kento seemed to want to show off his intelligence, slowly explained, and pointed to the garage with the open door over there:

"And the murderer's possible murder location is obviously in the garage."

"turn out to be……"

Listening to Kento Toba's explanation, although Fujisawa Toshiaki was surprised, he couldn't help but agree:
"Then the murderer who saw the falling car pretended to hear the explosion and rushed here..."

"So...you mean, the murderer is among us?"

In this regard, Toda Maria on the side couldn't help asking in surprise.

And Kento Toba proudly pushed the glasses on his face, and proudly said:

"Yes, that should be the case. And as far as the current situation is concerned, the suspect..."

"But why did the car speed up on the way?"

However, before Kento Toba was proud of his words, Hattori Heiji stepped forward and asked.

Hearing this statement, Toba Kento couldn't help being taken aback, a little at a loss.

"Although it was only for a while, when we chased it to see it, the car did accelerate on the way."

Conan also echoed.

"Look, it's suicide!"

After learning that the vehicle had accelerated, Kogoro continued:
"It is impossible to make the vehicle speed up on the way, whether it is to faint or kill the store manager in advance, so the store manager who was in the car at that time must be alive. After seeing your chasing the car, he chose to get rid of you. Step on the accelerator and accelerate to rush out of the cliff, you guys have read too many mystery novels, there are so many twists and turns in real cases."

"And there's something odd about it."

At this time, Hattori Heiji continued:

"There was a strange wind-like sound coming from the car, and it wasn't an engine sound."

"It's not the sound of the engine? Then it must be the sound of cold air! It must be that the air conditioner was not turned off when the engine was turned off before, but as soon as the engine was turned on, the air conditioner turned on by itself."

In this regard, Kawazu Ikuo guessed so, and Toda Maria also agreed with this statement, explaining:

"Indeed, it's quite hot these days, and when we came here, the air conditioner in the car was always on."

Hearing this, Toshiaki Fujisawa felt a little helpless, took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and complained in relief:

"What are you doing! Suicide is disguised as homicide, true love caused a commotion! And specially dressed as Sherlock Holmes..."

"Oh, what a pity..."

In this regard, even Nanako Shimizu, who had little to say, said helplessly:

"The clothes of Holmes, which are so well-crafted...just burnt..."

"what?"

Hearing this, several people present were a little startled by Nanako Shimizu's shocking words.

"In short, judging by the current situation, the body will not be found. Let's call the police as soon as possible, and then go to the house and wait for the police to arrive."

Helpless, Kogoro suggested.

Therefore, everyone who felt that this suggestion was reasonable planned to go back to the hotel and call the police.

And Xiaolan, who was walking at the end, suddenly noticed that Conan and Hattori Heiji did not return with the others, but squatted on the dirt road, before the rut marks left by the passing vehicles just now, bent down, and seriously What are you looking for--

"What are you doing, Conan? What are you looking at for tire tracks?"

Feeling strange, Xiaolan came to Conan and asked curiously.

And Conan simply replied "Well, find something." After that, because he was looking very seriously, he bumped into Hattori Heiji who was also looking for traces on the ground with him——

"it hurts!"

"Ah! It hurts!"

The heads of the two hit each other like this, and they both covered their heads and yelled.

Seeing this, Xiaolan couldn't help asking strangely:

"What's the matter Hattori, even you..."

"I don't know! I was just checking to see if the air conditioner was really on! Then I bumped into, he..."

A little depressed, Hattori Heiji complained like this, but immediately, Hattori Heiji suddenly noticed something was wrong——

"again?"

Thinking about it unexpectedly, Hattori Heiji suddenly recalled the last time——

"Before, during the last incident, this guy bumped into me who was looking for evidence..."

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji also remembered the words Gao Yuan said to himself before coming here——

"If you are lucky, you will definitely meet Kudo here? Speaking of it, it was the last incident, when Kudo appeared, this guy disappeared; and after Kudo left, this guy appeared again..."

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji suddenly froze for a moment, then shook his head vigorously——

"No, what am I thinking about? At this moment, we should focus on the case! The innkeeper is just dead, and the detective brother seems to have told me to keep an eye on him before I came here. The host of this event...Damn it! What did the detective brother tell me at the time, now that I think about it, it seems to be related to the fact that the hotel owner will be retaliated against or something, but I seem to just put that kind of statement Take it as a joke..."

At this moment, when Hattori Heiji was thinking, because the light outside was not enough to see the specific situation of the ruts clearly, Conan, who complained about it, attracted the attention of Oki Ayako.

I saw Oki Ayako take out a lighter for the two of them to illuminate, and at the same time, bad news came from everyone who had returned to the house——

All the mobile phones of the people who were confiscated by the hotel owner were smashed!

Hearing this, Conan and Hattori Heiji, who had already investigated the rut marks, suddenly realized——

Sure enough, this is definitely not a simple suicide!
