Bai Quanyi smiled softly. Ever since he traveled through time, he felt that anything was believable. Blindly believing in science is the real superstition.

Pretending to be sophisticated

"We will definitely find our own star this time."

"yeah!"

Walking on the way to the hill behind the hotel, Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were excited, as if they would soon find their little star.

In the backyard of the hotel.

Watching the figures of Shiraizumi Masaru, Dr. Agasa, and the others leaving, the afro-haired Hajime Nigawa sneered, "Amateurs want to discover stars! If only it were that easy, wouldn't you agree, Editor-in-Chief?"

He said, turning back to look at Mikami Heihachi.

"Yes."

Mikami Heihachi also nodded.

"No, you don't understand."

Suddenly, a woman's voice was heard. Futakawa Hajime and the other man turned their heads in surprise. It was the woman named Nonomiya Etsuko.

She sat there with her legs crossed, pouring herself a drink while speaking in a deep voice, "No matter how much common sense you have, the most important thing when it comes to discovering new stars is luck. ⑨⑦⑤$⑥②⑧⑧④@① As long as you're lucky enough, you'll get something."

At this point, she propped her chin up with both hands, looked at the bald man and said, "By the way, Editor-in-Chief, you just discovered a new comet. Could you please take advantage of your success and help me find a comet? I really want the stars to take me away from this earth. The person I love the most, he has already..."

Everyone walked up the hillside and after passing through a forest, Yuan Tai suddenly pointed ahead excitedly and said, "The hillside the editor-in-chief just mentioned should be there. Everyone hurry up."

After saying that, he ran over quickly.

"Wow, this doesn't look like a hillside, it should be a cliff."

When Mitsuhiko saw the so-called "hill", his mouth opened wide.

The hillside was steep and rugged, standing there like a cliff. It was bare with large rocks and no grass or trees.

Dr. Agasa, who was running at the back, was already out of breath. When he looked at the cliff, his face was full of sorrow: "We still have to climb so high. No, let me catch my breath first."

After saying that, he bent down and gasped for breath, sweat pouring down.

"Hey, climb up in one go before the sun sets."

Conan looked back at him.

"Please, can you be considerate of the old man?"

Dr. Agasa smiled bitterly.

Conan curled his lips...What? Don’t you always ask people not to treat you as an old man?

"Forget it, let's just rest here for 10 minutes."

Seeing that Dr. Agasa was indeed tired and sweating profusely, Shiraizumi stopped.

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking.

The grassland under the cliff is covered with green grass, and several pairs of butterflies are chasing each other and dancing up and down there.

Dr. Agasa sat down on the ground, taking deep breaths and wiping the sweat from his head.

Conan and Haibara Ai also found a place to sit down and rest.

Baiquanyi stood there looking at the sunset gradually falling into the valley.

As for Ayumi, Genta and the others, they were not idle either. They were laughing and playing, full of energy.

Soon after.

Ah!

Suddenly, Ayumi's scream was heard.

Everyone's faces turned pale and they immediately ran over. Conan even shouted hurriedly, "What's wrong, Ayumi?"

“There are… there are dead heads.”

At this time, Ayumi was sitting on the grass in fear, pointing her trembling fingers forward, her face full of fear.

When Shiraizumi saw what Ayumi was pointing at, his pupils shrank.

It was a skull with several teeth missing. It was pale and had empty eyes, looking a little scary.

“Is this true?

"Why is there a dead head in a place like this?"

Yuanta and Mitsuhiko were so scared that they hugged each other, looking at the skull and trembling all over.

"There are some here too."

Suddenly, Haibara Ai's voice was heard.

"what!"

Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were all startled, their faces turned pale, and they were a little afraid to look.

Seeing them like this, Baiquan Yi shook his head in amusement and turned his gaze to Haibara Ai.

In the surrounding grass, there were skeletons, shin bones, thigh bones, mandibles and other pale bones scattered everywhere, with a little dirt on them.

These bones, together with the skull just now, lying in the grass, look gloomy and scary.

Dr. Agasa was also shocked, "What on earth is going on?"

There is no doubt that these bones clearly belong to one person, which means that someone died here a long time ago.

Ayumi glanced at the cliff beside her, her face still a little frightened. She said, "Maybe he fell to his death from the cliff?"

"Yes, it's probably been a long time since he fell to his death. His body has turned to bones. He might have been eaten by animals, or because of the wind and rain, his bones are scattered everywhere."

Haibara Ai stood there with her arms folded across her chest, appearing very calm.

Bai Quanyi frowned and said, "This shouldn't be an accident."

"really."

Conan nodded. "Preliminary observation suggests it's a murder, and a brutal one at that."

"really?"

Genta, Ayumi and the other two were shocked.

"Look at these limes."

Conan said this, pinching a piece of lime to show everyone, and said with a serious expression: "The property of lime is that it will heat up when it absorbs water. The murderer sprinkled lime on and around the body in order to let the rain increase its heat, so that the body will decay faster."

"Because of the lime, it is difficult to determine the time and cause of death."

"Do you think this pile of bones could be the Hefen Maxiong they just mentioned?"

Ayumi said.

"can you?"

Yuanta, Mitsuhiko and others were all shocked.

meeting!

Bai Quanyi gave the answer in his heart. In fact, when he first saw the pile of bones, he had guessed that this person might be Hefen Maxiong.

Mitsuhiko, distracted, recalled what the people in the hotel had said and couldn't help but look puzzled. "But didn't Kawabun Maxiong send invitations to those people just now? How could it be him?"

"Do not."

Conan shook his head and said, "This is most likely this Kawabun Maao, you see."

As he spoke, he turned over a stone next to him.

Beneath the stone lay a half-smoked pack of cigarettes and a ring.

Ayumi, Genta and the others were all shocked.

When Bai Quanyi saw the half pack of cigarettes and the ring, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth... I was right, this person was Hefen Maxiong.

He Fen Maxiong's fiancée once said that He Fen Maxiong was wearing a couple's ring that was the same as the one she was wearing.

Conan continued, "The ring under the stone has the words "etsukotoasao" engraved on it. Perhaps after being pushed off the cliff by the murderer, Kawabun Maao left it there on purpose before the murderer arrived. His purpose was to let people know that he was murdered here."

"But it's also possible that this was something the murderer left behind intentionally."

Mitsuhiko said.

"If that's the case, shouldn't the ring be worn on your hand?"

Conan said: "The murderer even stripped the clothes off the victim, so how could he deliberately hide these things under the stone?"

"Brother Baiquanyi, is what Conan said right?"

Mitsuhiko couldn't tell whether what Conan said was correct, so he turned around and looked at Shiraizumi Masu.

Everyone looked at Bai Quanyi when they heard this.

Baiquanyi smiled and said: "What Conan said is right. It is certain that these things were not left under the stone by the murderer on purpose."

"Then what's the use of this pack of cigarettes, and why is it hidden here?"

Mitsuhiko pointed at the pack of cigarettes and said curiously.

A person who is on the verge of death would certainly not hide half a pack of cigarettes under a rock out of boredom. There must be a purpose for doing so.

Bai Quanyi thought about it and made a deduction, "If I'm not mistaken, this half pack of cigarettes is very likely a death message left for us by the deceased before he died."

"Brother Baiquanyi and I have the same idea."

Conan said: "This is most likely a death message left by Kawabun Maxiong. He wants to tell us who killed him."

"Death message!"

Dr. Agasa and others were shocked.

Conan nodded, held out his hand and said, "Does anyone have a handkerchief? Lend it to me."

"I have."

Ayumi obediently took out a handkerchief and handed it to Conan.

Conan spread his handkerchief on the grass and poured all the cigarettes in the cigarette box on it. There were five cigarettes in total, one of which was broken into two pieces. Because it had been buried under the stone for a long time, the cigarettes had turned black and had already become moldy.

"Do you think these cigarettes are really the death message left by Hefen Maxiong?"

Mitsuhiko said.

"No mistake. I guess that before Hefen Maxiong died, he deliberately left clues of the murderer here so that people who came after him would know who killed him."

Conan squatted in front of a few cigarettes, looking at them with a serious expression.

"That's strange. Aren't they just a few cigarettes? And one of them is broken. Was it torn?"

Yuantai's face was full of confusion.

"Look more closely. The two shorter cigarette butts still have filters attached to the front, right?"

Conan said.

Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko took a closer look and found that, just as Conan said, the two shorter cigarette butts still had filters attached to them.

"really."

"This proves that these two cigarette butts were shortened and then put into the cigarette box."

Conan stood up and said, "Also, take a closer look. Under the rock where the cigarette box was hidden, even though it's almost completely rotten, you can still see some of the cigarettes he tore up and threw there."

"In other words, Hefen Maxiong deliberately left clues to make us pay special attention to the four long cigarette butts and two short cigarette butts hidden in the cigarette box."

After hearing Conan's words, Mitsuhiko, Genta and others went closer to the stone and took a closer look. Sure enough, there were some torn cigarettes under the stone, with signs of being crushed.

"So what clues did he leave behind?"

Mitsuhiko said.

"I do not know yet."

Conan shook his head, then turned to look at Baiquanyi and said, "Brother Baiquanyi, do you know?"

Baiquanyi pretended to be profound and smiled without saying anything, pretending to be profound.
