Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 462 The Mother's Clue

"What?! That kid from Kido went to Atami? Damn, that kid really knows how to enjoy it. It must be for mixed bathing in hot springs..."

"Dad, you've had too much to drink! Really, you've been out so late again."

On the streets of Tokyo, Xiaolan and Conan complained about taking the uncle home, and the drunk uncle was staggering and yelling non-stop.

"Xiao Lan, it's been a long time since we went to the hot spring, or we should go to the hot sea..."

"Don't make bad ideas, I plan to let you and mother have a meal!"

"I don't want to see that smelly woman..." the uncle said in a daze, "Xiao Lan, don't you want me to get back together with her?"

"That's what I want to do! It's a child who wants to live in harmony with his parents! In short, you must go on the weekend date..."

"It's so verbose."

Conan walked beside him as usual, looking at the screaming uncle, his mind also flew to Atami.

Kido should have gone to find a mother for a child, I don't know how the situation is now...

……

Atami Hot Spring Hotel, it was past midnight but the lights were still brightly lit. Several police cars were parked at the door, and several policemen were standing guard outside.

"I see, Detective Kido happened to be here on business..."

"That is to say, the waitress picked up the camera lens cap of the victim Mr. Kashita in the corridor, and when it was brought here, he found Mr. Kashita dead by the bathtub..."

Police officer Coral Head Henggou thought about examining the corpse.

"It's true that someone strangled the neck with something like a thin thread and killed... But, is the corpse put in the bathtub to cover up the time of death? This is troublesome..."

"Actually, I already know the time of the murder." Gao Cheng interrupted.

"what?"

"Mr. Yaxia happened to take a photo of the murderer, and the time the photo was taken at 11:48 was the time of the crime."

Gao Cheng put the photos on his mobile phone in front of Henggou.

"The prisoner doesn't seem to notice this..."

"It's true," Henggou took the phone in surprise, "the woman who strangled her neck from behind had a mole on her chest... So if you can find someone who didn't have an alibi at 11:48 Women can do it!"

"Henggou Police Department!" A police officer approached, "According to the staff of the hotel, Mr. Yashita found several waitresses at night, and said some strange things, as if to say, 'Do you still remember the 2000 million yuan? Come to my room if you don't want to, otherwise don't blame me for opening the matter'..."

"2000 million yuan? So, the prisoner is the waitress who was caught by the duck?" Henggou touched his chin, "Well, check it out right away, it is very likely that the waitress who did not have an alibi at 11:48 It's the murderer!"

"Yes!"

"Prisoner, prisoner..." Kinukawa Kazuki looked closely at Henggou who gave the order, his whole body was in a daze, "The prisoner is mine..."

"Huh?" Henggou looked at Hehui unexpectedly, "You don't often appear on TV...you are the child star Kinukawa Kazuki, right?"

"The criminal..."

The little boy seemed to have not heard Henggou's question at all, he gritted his teeth, turned around and ran out of the scene in a hurry.

"What happened to him?" Henggou was stunned.

"It's okay," Gao Cheng quietly watched the little kid run away, and then walked out of the bathroom, "Officer Henggou, I'll come back when I find the waitress..."

At the door of the hotel, after Gao Cheng and the police officers on duty greeted him, they looked at the little boy who was huddled in the corner of the steps by the door.

After a pause, Gao Cheng stepped forward and said, "Don't you dislike that woman? Why are you so worried..."

"I'm not worried about that woman!"

"Don't worry, isn't it still confirmed that the murderer is your mother?"

Gao Cheng sat down beside him.

"Before finally seeing the truth, anything is possible... go back and rest, I will solve this case."

The little boy raised his head to look at Gao Cheng, then turned back and walked into the hotel silently.

"There is mother's voice..."

"what?"

After walking to the turning, the little kid suddenly ran towards the kitchen where the sound of cutting vegetables came from, but only saw an uncle chef busy in it.

"Sorry," the uncle chef turned his head back in a daze, and said embarrassedly, "because a guest suddenly wanted to eat supper... Did it bother you?"

"After ordering this, there are still people who want to eat supper?" Gao Cheng rubbed his belly, "Then prepare one for us by the way..."

"Ah?" The uncle chef almost didn't realize it, "Okay, okay."

The sound of "tom", "tom" and "tom" chopping vegetables continued to be heard in the kitchen, Gao Cheng turned to the little kid in despair: "Is this the mother's voice you mentioned?"

"Because when I was a child and fell asleep watching the mole, I heard the sound of a kitchen knife cutting vegetables... Don't get me wrong, I just thought it might be a clue to find that woman."

"Okay, I see."

……

Room 205, the murder scene.

When Gao Cheng was called back by a police officer, the three waitresses he had seen at the bathhouse had already arrived at the scene.

"Detective Kido, they are the waitresses who didn't have an alibi at 11:48, and they arrived at the open-air bath one after another around 11:50..."

"Only the three of them didn't have an alibi?" Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment. He managed to see the position below the collarbone of the three of them, but none of them matched the murderer in the photo.

"Then," Henggou coughed lightly, and said to the three waitresses with his mobile phone, "Can I check your bodies? I want to make sure that you are like the female criminals photographed just before Yaxia was killed. There is a mole on the front..."

"What?" The long-haired waitress Sanzhi Asaka saw the photos on her phone and reacted strongly, "Do you want us to undress here?"

"Ah, no... there will be a policewoman who will take you to other rooms..."

"That's okay, but please hurry up, we have other jobs!"

"it is good……"

"There's no need for that," Bessho Toshiko opened his collar blushing, "Look, I don't have any moles..."

"Bessho?" The round-chin waitress Mitsu Kusano looked at Toshiko Bessho in surprise.

"Forget it," Sanzhi Zhaoxiang calmly opened the neckline to reveal the whiteness of her chest, "It's nothing anyway, Kusano, don't dawdle, you will be suspected."

"Well, that's fine."

Kusano Mitsu also blushed and exposed his chest, and a mole on the right under the collarbone appeared in front of everyone.

"Ah!" Henggou stared, "Don't you have a mole on your chest?!"

"Can you see clearly, officer," Kusano said dissatisfied, "My mole is on the right, which is the opposite of the photo!"

"This... this is also..."

"I mean police officer," Sanzhi Asaka interrupted, "we'll go back to work if there's nothing else to do!"

"Wait, wait a minute!" Henggou said anxiously, "I have to make notes later, please wait in another room first..."

When the three waitresses left with a snort, Henggou's entire face turned bitter.

"I can't find the prisoner at all... Is this photo really taken under the duck? Because of the backlight, the picture is not too clear, and the prisoner's face has not been photographed..." Henggou was uncertain, " Could it be that the prisoner deliberately filmed it in real time in order to create an alibi?"

"The possibility is very small." Gao Cheng held his elbow and looked towards the bathroom. "The murderer wrapped a thin thread around Yaxia's neck, obviously strangling Yaxia with both hands, so the only person who took the photo could be Yaxia himself, and also The murderer's chest was photographed. If it was designed by the murderer, she should be well dressed, making it impossible to distinguish between men and women...

"This mobile phone has also been muted, so there will be no sound when taking pictures... Before being attacked, I should have planned to take pictures secretly."

"Sneak shot?" Henggou checked his phone carefully, "He even called someone 10 minutes before taking the photo!"

Tokyo, Tokyo Publishing House, in the busy editorial department, the phone rang repeatedly, and a bald uncle picked up the microphone: "What? Duck was killed?!"

"I'm Zhang Quangu, the editor-in-chief of "Hot Weekly"... Yaxia often sends us some special materials. Today he called me twice. The second call was just after 11:[-], saying it was special. The heroine of the material is taking a shower in the bathroom in his room, and will take pictures of her appearance with her mobile phone..."

"Really?" Henggou Ma said with a serious face, "The heroine of the special material is..."

"It's Atsuko, the woman who abandoned Kinukawa Kazuki at the door of the church. That woman seems to have threatened Kinukawa Kazuki's office, saying that if she doesn't pay 2000 million, she will make Kazuki's father a fugitive murderer." Announced... Somehow, Yaxia caught the clue, saying that it was to go to the place where the woman was..."

Henggou involuntarily looked at Juanchuan Kazuki who was standing at the door, hung up the phone and looked at Gao Cheng: "He said that's the way it is, and the duck may not be sure who it is at first, so he tested the waitress here... ..."

"I see."

Gao Cheng leaned over to the phone just now and heard the other person's words. He frowned and turned to the kid: "But I'm sure of one thing, Wen Zi is definitely not the murderer. I will find the real culprit."

"Isn't Wenzi the murderer?" Henggou asked in amazement, "But isn't Wenzi the one who threatened?"

"Perhaps." Gao Cheng checked Yaxia's body again, "Can't you find the murder weapon yet?"

"Yeah, it seems that we can only search the hotel once..."
