After putting their luggage in the guest room, Takada Shinichi and others asked the boss Tendo Ryōji how to get to the hillside behind the hotel, took two telescopes and went together.

At dusk, a group of people came to the foot of the hillside. It's not so much a hill as a small cliff, a bit steep.

Miyano Akemi looked at the young detective team and said,"Would you like to rest for a while before climbing up the hill?"

"I'm a little tired. Let's rest for a while before going up."

Haihara Ai looked at the bag Miyano Akemi was holding. She knew it contained a telescope. She was worried that Miyano Akemi would be tired from walking such a long way, so she said this. She actually didn't feel that Tired.

But Conan didn't think so much and said loudly:"The sun will go down in a while. It's better for us to go up now.""

Takada Shinichi synthesized the opinions of the two people and said:"I think so, we can rest here for ten minutes, and we won't waste any time."

After hearing what Shinichi Takada said, everyone had no objection, so they went to sit on the rocks next to them. There were only four rocks. Shinichi Takada, Genta Kojima and Ayumi Yoshida, who were slower in the past, had to find rocks to sit on. Next.

Shinichi Takada said to Ayumi Yoshida who was walking beside him:"Ayumi, you go over first, I will find an extra stone.""

"Thank you, Brother Takada."

Yoshida Ayumi thanked her happily, but she didn't leave. She wanted to help find stones.

When Takada Shinichi saw this, he didn't say anything, but found a stone of suitable size.

"Brother Takada, look, I found it."

Yoshida Ayumi said and ran towards the small stone in front of her, preparing to pick it up by herself.

"Ayumi, wait."

Takada Shinko ran over, grabbed Yoshida Ayumi, looked down and said:"This is not a stone, it is a human skull."As he spoke, he kicked it, and the 'stone' rolled, revealing the front of the skull, with the face and teeth clearly visible.

"Yeahhhhhh!!!"

When she saw the skull, Yoshida Ayumi screamed loudly. Thinking that she had almost picked up the skull before, she became frightened.

"What's wrong?"

Conan and others immediately ran over after hearing the sound.

"It's a human skull."

Takada Shinichi explained aloud, but the grass not far away said:"There are also mandible bones, upper arm bones, and thigh bones there...."

"The sternum is there!"

Conan ran over, squatted down and peeled off the leaves on the sternum, revealing the covered sternum. Seeing this, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but look at the small top, and said:"This is probably the result of falling from the cliff and falling to death. Right?"

"Well, that's right."

Haiyuan Ai echoed:"It seems that he fell to death, and for a while, the body turned into bones. It may have been bitten by animals or blown by wind and rain, which caused the bones to be scattered everywhere. Conan shook his head slightly and said:"No, this should be a murder case, and it is also a brutal murder case.""

"Hey?!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Takada Shinichi saw it and said:"It's lime. The characteristic of lime is that it will generate heat when it absorbs water. The murderer's purpose of spreading lime on and around the body was to let the rain increase its heat. As a result, the decay rate of the corpse will be accelerated, making it difficult to find out the time and cause of death of the deceased."

Conan nodded secretly after hearing this. What he was about to say was almost the same.

Miyano Akemi frowned slightly and suddenly said:"Shinichi, do you think the person who fell to death is the Kono Asao they mentioned before? ? You know, Kono Asao happened to disappear a year ago. Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya said in confusion:"

But it was Kono Asao who sent the invitation?""

Takada Shinichi shook his head and said:"The invitation letter doesn't mean anything. It's entirely possible that someone among them sent an invitation letter in the name of Kono Asao. It's not that difficult to do this."

"It is now almost certain that the body is that of Asao Kono.

Conan suddenly spoke up. He pushed up a stone on the side and said,"There is a ring under the stone here, and there are also cigarettes." The words ETSUKO·to·ASAO engraved on the ring may have been deliberately left behind after Asao Kono was pushed off the cliff by the murderer before the murderer arrived. The purpose is to let people know that they were killed here. Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya guessed:"

Could it be that the murderer deliberately left it behind?""

Takada Shinichi took the lead and said:"If this is the case, the ring will be worn on the hand of the deceased. Moreover, the murderer even stripped off the clothes of the deceased, so how could he deliberately leave these two things under the stone next to him."

Conan nodded in agreement. After spreading his own handkerchief on the ground, he borrowed a handkerchief from Yoshida Ayumi, picked up the cigarette box, and poured the cigarettes in the cigarette box onto the handkerchief. There were six cigarettes in total on the handkerchief. Four long and two short.

Miyano Akemi looked at it and said:"Could this be the death message left by Kono Asao?"

"should be."

Takada Shinichi said, but he was very sure in his heart. And in this short period of time, he thought of who the murderer was. When he guessed that the murderer was one of the four people at the hotel, Takada Shinichi Naturally, he quickly identified the murderer. This was not because Shinichi Takada was much smarter than Conan, but because Shinichi Takada had previously registered his name in the register, and he glanced at all the names in the register. , he didn’t pay attention to it before, but now that he has contacted these four long and two short cigarettes, he can naturally determine who the murderer is in a moment. The most important clue is missing, so Conan cannot know who the murderer is at the first time, but with the help of There were traces of cigarettes elsewhere under the stone and the two short cigarettes had filters left behind. It was inferred that the cigarettes were left intentionally by the deceased. There must be some secret code hidden in the four long and two short cigarettes.

At this time, Miyano Mingmei proposed to go back to the hotel and tell everyone about it, but Conan rejected it. It was said that four people in the hotel were here a year ago, and this time someone sent the message in the name of Kono Mao. The invitation letter must have an unknown purpose, so it is better to call the police first.

Shinichi Takada knew that Conan's proposal was the right one, so he did not object. Miyano Akemi took out her mobile phone to call the police, but found that there was no The signal was poor and unable to make a call, so we had to go back to the hotel and borrow a landline to call the police.

At that moment, Shinichi Takada and others returned to the hotel._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
