Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 163 The phone is right there, call the police if you want

The cherry blossom trees are all on the other side of the river, and the river is full of fallen cherry blossom petals.

This side of the pond was surprisingly clean, with no fallen cherry blossoms.

Although the small waterfall is only more than ten meters high, there are cliffs on this side. If you want to go up from the bottom, you have to take a long detour along the mountain road.

There is a tomb at the bottom of the cliff. Judging from the name on the tombstone, Togo Taku, he should be Mrs. Togo’s deceased husband.

Lin Xiuyi took a look at the pool of water and returned to the cherry blossom forest to look for someone.

Everyone quickly found Yuta Moriyama, but Yukiko Ono was still nowhere to be seen.

Moriyama Yuta insisted on finding his lover, and Hayashi Shuichi and others could not persuade him, so they could only help him.

After more than half an hour, the rain got heavier and heavier, making the umbrella above my head crackle.

Lin Xiuyi glanced at the three girls around her. Although they were protected by umbrellas, their clothes were still wet.

"Forget it, let's go back."

"But we haven't found Miss Yukiko yet," Fujimine Yukiko said. "It's raining so hard, what if something happens to her..."

"Just now, only Mrs. Togo said that she saw someone enter the cherry blossom forest," Kisaki Eri mused. "This cherry blossom forest is not very large. If Miss Yukiko really wants to come in, we will definitely find her."

"You mean Mrs. Togo lied?" Fujimine Yukiko frowned. "Why would she lie to us for no reason?"

"Shuichi just said that Miss Mio, Miss Kaho, and Miss Yukiko are likely the same person," Kisaki Eri said unhappily. "Mr. Otomo and the others can't be sure, but what about Mrs. Togo? How could she not notice that someone who had disappeared reappeared in the hotel?"

"This... maybe there are too many guests in the hotel, she..." Fujimine Yukiko stopped herself halfway through her words.

The Dongxiang Hotel is old and shabby, and it doesn't look like it has many guests.

"If they're really in cahoots, then Mrs. Togo's suggestion that we go into the cherry blossom forest to look for her wasn't she trying to create an opportunity for Miss Yukiko to escape?" Lingzi speculated. "If we can't catch her, then we naturally can't prove that there's anything wrong with Togo and her son."

"Little girl, you're using your brain now," said Hibiki Eri. "Some people have fox-like faces, but why don't they have fox-like intelligence?"

"Reiko was just guessing, who knows if it's true or not," Fujimine Yukiko snorted indignantly.

"Okay, let's go back to the hotel first," Lin Xiuyi said. "It's raining so hard and we're deep in the mountains. It won't be easy for Miss Yukiko to escape."

The four of them turned around and walked back, and soon saw Mrs. Togo who was trying to persuade Moriyama Yuta to return to the hotel.

"It's raining so hard, Miss Ono might have already returned to the hotel. Let's go back and check."

Moriyama Yuta nodded dejectedly.

At this moment, Reiko suddenly pointed to the road going up the mountain in the distance and said, "Onii-chan, is that Mr. Togo?"

Lin Xiuyi and others looked in the direction she pointed and saw a figure walking up the mountain.

The rain was pouring down and the person was quite far away, so I could only barely see that the man was indeed wearing Mr. Togo's clothes.

"Why is he going to the mountain?" asked Yukiko Fujimine.

"Takashi must have gone to the mountains to look for Miss Ono," Mrs. Togo said with a frown. "He grew up here and is very familiar with the conditions in the mountains. Don't worry about him. Let's go back to the hotel first."

The figure soon disappeared, and not long after, Mr. Otomo also walked out of the cherry blossom forest.
"It's raining so hard, let's go back first."

……

Everyone returned to the hotel, but Ono Yukiko hadn't returned yet. Only Akita Keito was left in the bathroom, scrubbing the paint off his body. Moriyama Yuta looked dejected; he hadn't brought an umbrella, and he was already soaked from head to toe.

Otomo Hiroki was in the same situation as him. Not only was he soaked like a drowned rat, but his clothes were also covered in mud and water.

"I just fell down. I'm really unlucky today."

"You two should go to the bathroom and take a shower," Mrs. Dongxiang suggested, "so you don't catch a cold."

Moriyama Yuta shook his head and refused, just asked for a towel and wiped his hair silently.

Otomo Hiroki nodded and went upstairs, but after a moment, he came down again.

"Is there anything you need?" Mrs. Dongxiang asked.

"I'm going to the car to get clothes. This coat is dirty, and I happen to have another one in the car," said Otomo Hiroki, and then he went out.

A few minutes later, he walked into the hotel with a clean coat and returned to the second-floor bathroom.

"Have some hot tea," Mrs. Togo poured a cup of tea for each of Lin Xiuyi and the other three, as well as Moriyama Yuta, "to drive away the cold."

The three girls had already determined that she was an accomplice of the female scammer, and were afraid that the tea was poisonous, so they just held it in their hands and did not dare to drink it.

Lin Xiuyi didn't have this worry. Even if Mrs. Dongxiang wanted to silence her, she would have to wait until everyone gathered before poisoning her.

At this moment, Otomo Hiroki and Akita Keito are taking a shower in the bathroom on the second floor. If she rashly poisons the person on the first floor, what will happen to the two people on the second floor?
Lin Xiuyi picked up the tea and just took a sip when he heard Moriyama Yuta beside him ask in a gloomy voice: "Mrs. Togo, is Yukiko a liar?"

"How would I know?" the proprietress laughed dryly. "I..."

"Snapped!"

Moriyama Yuta picked up the teacup in front of him and smashed it to the ground: "Are you taking me for an idiot when you say that?"

The three girls sitting next to Lin Xiuyi were startled and leaned closer to him.

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi was still drinking tea, Kisaki Eri snatched the teacup away.

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Dongxiang looked surprised.

"What do you mean?" Moriyama Yuta sneered. "If Yukiko is really a liar and has used other identities and disappeared here twice, how could you not recognize her? You two are basically in cahoots!"

"Mr. Moriyama, whether Ms. Ono is a liar or not is just your guess," Mrs. Togo said. Her previously kind smile turned into a cold sneer. "You said we were in cahoots? Please show me the evidence!"

"You!" Moriyama Yuta gritted his teeth in anger.

Mrs. Togo sipped her tea leisurely. "The phone is right there. If Mr. Moriyama insists on calling me a liar, please call the police."

"Do you think I don't dare?" Moriyama Yuta walked to the phone with a dark face and dialed 110.

Otomo Hiroki was just about to walk down the stairs: "If the police were any use, I wouldn't have been looking for Mio for half a year."

Moriyama Yuta ignored him and continued to call the police.

Otomo Hiroki shook his head, walked into the living room and sat on the sofa: "I didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this, Mrs. Togo, I don't have any other intentions, I just want to see Mio again, you..."

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying," Mrs. Dongxiang refused expressionlessly. "If you'd like to stay at my inn, you're always welcome."

"If you continue to say these strange things, please leave when the rain stops..."
