Saturday, July 26, Benkei Hot Spring Hotel. "Talk*Follow*

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Jun Omura returned to his room and brought the camera. Maori and Kazushi Nakado began the appraisal work. Yamazaki, Ran, Conan, Sonoko and Midako, Jun Omura and Ayako stood outside the room together.

After taking the photo, Maori beat Yumi's feet and said, "Her toes have begun to stiffen." He then pulled the bottom corner of Yumi's clothes and covered her feet.

Kazushi Kazushi said: "So she has been dead for a long time."

Maori said, "Since that's the case, I'll take a look at the corpse spots." As he said that, he stepped forward to pull away Yumi's yukata.

Kazushi Nakado said, "But Yumi has bleed so much, I'm afraid...uh." He stopped here because Maori pulled Yumi's clothes away, and she didn't wear anything inside.

"Uh," said Maori, "Yumi is not wearing underwear." He said that, and then closed Yumi's yukata.

"What's going on?" Maori asked.

At this time, Conan said at Yumi's feet: "There is another strange thing. The yukata worn by Aunt Yumi is big and long, which is different from the one I wore in the afternoon." As he said that, he lifted up the corner of Maori's clothes that Maori had just covered Yumi's feet, and like Maori, he also broke Yumi's toes.

"Bang!" He planted a big mushroom on Conan's head with a punch. Maori said angrily: "Boy, this is not the place you should come." As he said that, he picked up Conan and threw him out.

Conan stretched out his hands in the air and wanted Yamazaki to pick it up. Standing at the door was Yamazaki Kazuma with his head down and didn't know what he was thinking about.

Yamazaki did not go to pick up Conan, but instead took a step back with a smile and made way out of the position.

Conan immediately raised his triangle eyes, then stretched out his feet to land by himself, and then his feet stepped on the ground, but as soon as he laughed, he was carried to the ground by inertia, and threw himself on the ground in a very standard body posture. Then he quickly rubbed his nose and crawled up, and complained: "You guy."

At this time, Maori, who was checking the wound on Yumi's head, said: "It seems that the fatal injury is this gunshot wound, but it is strange that the bullet did not penetrate..."

Conan immediately turned around and asked, "Uncle, what's going on with the blood on the wall?"

Looking carefully at Yumi Hiroshi's back of her head, Maori said: "It should be that when her head hit the wall, she was knocked out and then slid down the wall and became like this."

"Kogoro, look at the wound of the gunshot, there are burning marks on it, and her index finger is also on the trigger of the pistol," Kazushi Nakado asked, "So, did Yumi really commit suicide?"

Jun Omura immediately asked, "Why do you say that?"

"When firing, a hot air with a very high temperature will be sprayed out from the muzzle with the bullet. If the muzzle was in contact with the ** at that time, it would leave burning marks." Maori said, "Now there are such burning marks on Yumei's wounds, that is, when firing, the muzzle is against her head. Generally, when raising the gun to commit suicide, the muzzle is close to the head." As he said, he used his hand to make a gun, pressing his right index finger on his right temple.

Hearing them talking, the others gathered in front of the door again. Jungdo Kazushi took out a blanket from the cabinet and covered Jueyue Yumi's body from head to toe.

After listening to Maori's explanation, Ayaka Kiko cried: "This is not true."

Yamazaki asked: "Uncle Maori, what is the identification result?"

Maori said: "From the stiffness, it's been almost seven hours."

Jun Omura said: "From now, it's three o'clock in the afternoon."

"That was when we separated from Yumi to play at the billiards," said Ayakki Yuki.

Kazushi Kazushi said: "From time, Yumi should be separated from us. After returning to the room alone, she shot her own head with the gun she hid."

Ayachi Kiko cried, "Yumi, why, why did you commit suicide?"

Ayama Yuki said, "Speaking of this, Yumi once said, 'Think about it, I really don't want to live anymore'. Maybe she would have been unable to think about it for a long time, so she would do this."

At this time, Conan touched Yamazaki, and Yamazaki asked, "Uncle Maori, Conan just said that Aunt Yumi's clothes were wrong, isn't this the case?"

"Yes." Maori said.

"So when, where, and why did she change clothes," Yamazaki said, "and she didn't wear underwear."

Kazushi Nakado said: "From the traces on the scene, she should have changed it herself. The blood from her head to her body is very natural. There are wrinkles on the back of the clothes due to sliding against the wall, and there is no blood. The clothes near her buttocks are very loose and there are no traces of moving left and right. All these indicate that Yumi has not moved after sitting down like this." Then she asked Mori, "Is that true?"

"Well, that's it," Maori said, and then said, "Wait a minute, Yumi will change her clothes after she separates from us." Then she asked, "Kiko, Yumi is the hot spring bathing with you, right?"

Ayano Kiko said, "Yes."

"So, you should know what style of underwear she is wearing?" Maori said. "Come in and look for it. I want to know where the underwear was replaced."

"Okay." Ayano Kiko said as she entered the room and flipped over.

"Ran, Yuanzi, you two go to the Nushu and the open-air bath," Maori said again, "Mideko, go to the boss's place to ask if Yumi has sent it to dry cleaning. Although this situation is rare, it cannot be said that there is no." Then he instructed, "By the way, don't tell the boss about this."

Lan, Yuanzi and Meidaizi said together, "I understand." Then he left.

Yamazaki and Conan looked at each other and were both strange. The Maori is much better now than usual.

Zhongdao Hezhi asked, "Maori, are you?"

"If the underwear is in this room, then Yumi Tomoyu is committing suicide," said Maori. "Before committing suicide, take off his underwear and take a shower, and then come back in a loose bathrobe because he is not wearing underwear. It makes sense. It is clean and unrestrained to leave, which is completely in line with the psychology of the suicide person."

Jun Omura asked, "What if it was somewhere else?"

Looking at everyone, Maori held his chin and said, "If it was in another place, the possibility of homicide would be greatly increased."

"Maori, you look at us like this," Ayama Yukio asked in surprise, "Aren't you suspecting that this is done by those of us?"

"Don't guess, we just said that Yumi was killed at around 3 pm, that is, after we parted with us. We played in the billiard room from 3 pm to 6 pm. Although Ran and the others arrived later, they all acted together. Of course, it was impossible for us to commit crimes." Kazushi Nakado said, "During this period, those who left the billiard were only Yamazaki who rented tables and returned the tables, and Ah Jun and Kogoro who went to the bathroom.

If we count, Ah Chun left at around five o'clock, but he came back in less than a minute. Kogoro left at around five o'clock, and it was less than three minutes. He could only run a round trip. He could only do it unless he kept the gun on his body. But we all know that Kogoro had fallen when playing basketball. With such a pocketless yukata, if he fell down, the pistol would definitely be discovered by us. And Yumi's death time was around three o'clock, so..."

"So, the only one who meets the time of the crime and has time for committing the crime is me who only rents a table at around 3 o'clock," Yamazaki said. "I can't prove myself. I can only say I have no motivation."

"Of course it's not you." Kazushi Nakado said, "If it was him, it's very likely that it was done by someone from outside." He said, and walked to the balcony, opened the unlocked window, looked out and said, "In terms of the terrain of this place, it's easy for outsiders to come in, and they don't need to pass through the hall." Then he asked, "What do you think, Kogoro?"

Maori walked over and looked at the eaves under the balcony and said, "It's really easy to come in, and it's not locked here."

At this time, Conan said to Jun Omura: "Uncle, I have something I want to ask you."

"By the way," Maori asked, "Ah Chun, what did you hide? It's been a big deal since you came back from the bathroom."

Jun Omura said hesitantly: "I, I..."

Grabbing Jun Omura's collar, Maori asked, "What did you hide?"

"No, I didn't hide anything," Jun Omura said, "I just saw it accidentally..."

Yoshio Ayagi asked, “What did you see?”

"I saw it when I went to the bathroom from the billiards room," said Jun Omura, "Yumi, she..."

"What are you talking nonsense?" Mori said in surprise after letting go of Jun Omura, "It was already past five o'clock at that time."

"Yes, yes, I saw Yumi who was dead at that time," Jun Omura said in fear. "I saw her expression serious from the window on the second floor, staring at her every move of the billiard."

Yoshio Ayagi shouted in surprise: "How could it be?"

Zhongdao and Zhi shouted and said, "Stop talking nonsense, it is impossible for such a thing to happen."

"So, the Yumi I saw," Jun Omura said in fear, "maybe, maybe it's..."

Ayano Yukio interrupted, "Don't say stupid things, there are no ghosts in this world." Then he stepped forward and pressed Jun Omura's shoulders and comforted him, "I think you're so tired that you can't see that kind of thing."

At this time, Ayama Kiko came over and said, "No, I have found all the places in this room, and there is no set of underwear."

"It seems that he might have killed him." Kazushi Nakado said, "Kogoro, let's go down to ask the hotel's people about the situation."

"Okay." Maori said.

Walking at the end with Yamazaki, Conan asked, "What do you think?"

"Do you think there are ghosts in the world?" Yamazaki asked.

"How is that possible?" Conan asked, "You mean, Aunt Yumi was still alive at five o'clock?"

"This is what you said." Yamazaki smiled.

After going downstairs, Yuanzi and Lan came to report that they searched all the places where they could take a bath, women's soup, men's soup, outdoor bathing grounds, and men's and women's bathing halls, but they didn't find Yumi's underwear.

At this moment, seeing them gathered together, the hotel owner came over and asked, "What are you doing? Is something happening in the hotel?"

Zhongdao Hezhi asked, "May I ask, have you seen any strangers at about three o'clock in the afternoon?"

"This, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, we were all in the kitchen and we didn't have any spare time until the evening." The hotel owner said, "By the way, in the evening, there was someone who was really suspicious."

Zhongdao Hezhi hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

The hotel owner said, "It's a young woman with children. She looks in a hurry. After coming in, she heads straight to the second floor without saying a word."

Zhongdao Hezhi asked again: "Does this woman have any characteristics?"

"Look, isn't she standing behind you?" the hotel owner pointed at Lan and Conan and said, "It's them both."

"..." Lan and Conan were speechless together.

"Ha...ha!" Yuanzi immediately laughed.

Lan pointed to Yuanzi helplessly and asked, "I came with her, okay? If it's suspicious, she should be there too?"

"Is that so? I didn't see you coming in together." The hotel owner said, then pointed at Yuanzi and smiled, "This little girl came to me after she came in. I didn't think there was anything suspicious about her."

"No, no," Yuanzi laughed, "I have a stomachache."

The hotel owner said again: "By the way, I remember it was exactly six at half past six, and the fireworks started to set off."

Maori asked, "What's going on, Ran?"

"Dad, don't you remember?" Lan said, "I ran back and asked Aunt Yumi to get up because I was about to set off fireworks.

Maori said, "Oh, that's when."

"Then we walked to Aunt Yumi's room," Lan continued, "I originally planned to go to her room..."

Kazuno Kazushi said, "I stopped them because Yumi hates being woken up the most."
