Detective Conan: The Grey Winged Angel

Chapter 189: The sweat of the fellows

   July 27, Saturday, evening, Benkei Hot Spring Hotel.

   In the bathroom on the first floor, Maori was putting his head under the faucet, facing the cold water. Yamazaki and Conan stood by, watching and thinking about what Maori had just said. The meaning in the Maori words just now is that he already knows who the murderer is, but there are still key points that he has not figured out, and no evidence has been found.

   After a while, Maori turned off the faucet, wiped his face with his hand, straightened up, looked at Yamazaki from the mirror and asked, "What do you think?"

   Yamazaki asked: "Uncle, you already have a goal, is it Uncle Nakado and Zhi?"

"Yes," Maori asked back. "You also thought of it, didn't you?" Then he said, "It seems that Yumi was obviously killed by him. Then, there is no flaw in this incident. Among my classmates, Only he is a professional criminal policeman who can arrange it." With a punch, he punched the wall, and then said angrily, "How could there be such a thing as a ghost in this world, that is, at about five o'clock, Yumi She was still alive. At 6:30, he was shot to death by the cover of the sound of the fireworks display, and was set up as a perfect suicide scene." Then he said angrily, "Damn, I am. I don’t understand what kind of trap he set up to change the time of Yumi’s death and create an alibi.”

   "I know a little about this," Yamazaki said.

   "Huh?" Maori immediately turned around and asked expectantly, "Then tell me, what is it?"

   Yamazaki asked back, "I wonder what uncle knows about Musashibo Benkei?"

  弁庆? Conan thought for a while, then laughed immediately, that's it.

   "Musashibo Benkei?" Mori thought for a moment and asked, "What does this have to do with him?"

   Yamazaki smiled and said: "This Benkei hot spring hotel has a Musashibo Benkei statue, and he died in battle with many arrows."

   Maori asked, "What's the problem?"

   "Uncle Maori," Conan smiled, "On the statue of Benkei, Benkei was standing. The hotel owner said Benkei was different from the others. He died standing up in the end."

"Standing? Ah, yes." Maori said to himself, "I remember when I was in the police school..." Then he smiled, "Very well, let's go and see if Mei Daizi has brought anything good. News." As he said, he strode away.

   "That," Following Maori, Conan asked Yamazaki in a low voice, "Do you have any evidence?"

   "No." Yamazaki shook his head and said.

   Conan said helplessly: "Sure enough."

Outside room No. 21, watching Maori and the others came, Zhongdao Hezhi smiled and said, "Maori and Yamazaki are here, Meidaizi, you can talk now." It turned out that Meidaizi refused to see that Yamazaki was not there just now. Tell them where she found the set of Horietsu Yumi's underwear.

   Passing the underwear wrapped in plastic sheet to Maori, Mei Daizi smiled and said, "I found this in a dry cleaning machine in the laundry room. I brought the plastic sheet from the laundry room."

   Conan walked to Maori's side and tried to reach out to Maori's underwear, but was immediately caught by Lan.

   Lan reprimanded: "Conan, this is not what you should touch." Then he took Conan to the side and controlled it.

   Looking at the underwear in the plastic sheet, Maori asked, "Mei Daizi, have you asked the waiter? Which bath did you get it from?"

"I already went to the kitchen and asked all the staff in this hot spring hotel," Mei Daizi smiled. "They said that this hot spring hotel will send people to each place at around 6:50 every night. In a specific basket in the bath, collect the clothes with names or room numbers that need to be sent for dry cleaning, and then take them for dry cleaning. But today, we are the only people who are always helping in the kitchen, so this work It hasn't been done yet."

Zhongdao Hezhi asked strangely: "Mei Daizi, did you just say that all the staff in this hot spring hotel have gone to the kitchen and have been busy?" Then he asked, "We are not alone here today. Are these people, is the kitchen so busy?"

   "Ha," Yuanzi couldn't help laughing, "The staff here are so busy today, they should all be busy in the kitchen by now."

   Ayajo Yukio said, "By the way, I saw the boss alone in the lobby just now."

   "Yes." Ayaki Kiko asked curiously: "Why is this happening?"

   "I placed a big order," Mei Daizi smiled, "They are all busy with this."

   Nakamichi and Zhi asked, "What did you order?"

Mei Daizi smiled and said, "It's a live chicken." Then she counted her fingers and said, "There are a total of eight staff members in this hotel. They go to the mountain springs in Houshan, then settle and filter them, then boil water, slaughter and clean them. After cleaning, add the washed mushrooms and wild vegetables to the pot for steaming. Based on the number of them and the number of stoves here," he thought for a while and laughed, "Well, I think it's about twelve o'clock, and you can have supper right. "

   Nakamichi Kazuzhi couldn't help asking: "How many live chickens did you order?"

   "There are nearly a hundred." Mei Daizi smiled, "Twenty for supper, it should be enough for so many of us."

   "..." Chengxing couple, Atsushi Omura and Kazushi Nakamura were speechless together.

After opening the plastic sheeting, Maori, who has not found any problems with her underwear, said, "Well, Meidaizi, I'll talk about supper later." Then he asked, "Do you have any other findings?" He gave the plastic sheet and the underwear to Ayajo Kiko, and motioned her to hold it directly in her hand to help take a look.

"I checked the work records of the laundry room. There is no record of this underwear at all." Mei Daizi said, "In other words, other people put them in privately, so I want the staff to put them in. Washed up together, and this person should be the murderer."

   "Murder?" Taking out the underwear from the plastic cloth, and taking a closer look, Ayajo Kiko asked, "There seems to be no trace on it? Why does the murderer take it to dry cleaning?"

   Ayajo Yukio pointed to the underwear and asked, "These underwears seem to be wet, right?" He wanted to reach out and touch them.

   "Pop!" Ayuki Kiko slapped Ayuki Yukio's hand away, and said angrily, "This is not something you men should touch."

"That's right, it's this," Mei Daizi said, "They are wet." Then he smiled, "I said I had forgotten something, it turned out to be this. It's not my fault, it must be because I was just caught by Uncle Zhongdao You will forget it if you interrupt."

   Naka Dao Hezhi twitched his mouth, then smiled dryly: "That's mine."

   "I can see that they are wet," Maori said irritably, "It must be the reason why you took them out before they were washed."

   "No, Uncle Maori." Mei Daizi said, "The boss here does not have a staff to start the dry cleaning machine in order to earn labor costs. And when I took it out, this underwear was wet..."

"In that case, when this underwear was put in, it was wet." Maori said, then looked at Ayajo Kiko and asked, "Then, can you help me take a look, is it water or sweat? "

"Sweat, it's sweat," Mei Daizi said quickly, and then explained, "When I turned on the dry cleaning machine and took them out, I smelled sweat. There is only this set of clothes in there, and they must have come out. "

   Ayagi Kiko walked to the side, carrying everyone on her underwear, sniffed it carefully, and said, "There is indeed a lot of sweat."

   "Sweat?" Maori rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then muttered to himself, "So it's like this."

   "Kogoro, what do you understand?" Atsushi Omura asked immediately, "Is there a clue to the murderer?"

   Mori stared at Nakamichi and said: "Yes, and it's not only a clue, I finally understand what the trap set by the murderer is." Then he asked, "Is that so, Nakamichi?"

   Nakamichi Kazushi said, "Kogoro, I don't quite understand what you said."

   "You should understand better than me." Maori said, and then said sharply, "You murderer who killed Yumi."

   "What!" Ayagi and his wife, Atsushi Omura, Ran and Yuanzi cried out in surprise.

"Kogoro~www.NovelMTL.com~ Don’t be kidding, what are you talking about? Isn’t the wine still awake?" Nakamichi Kazushi smiled, "We infer the time of Yumi’s death, and I would tell you Playing in the pool court."

   "So you have a perfect alibi," said Mori, "but the premise must be that Yumi really died at three in the afternoon."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Nakamichi Kazuzhi said angrily, "The identification work after Yumi's death was obviously done by me and you. At that time, Yumi's body indeed started to stiffen even toes. "

"That's why I think that the time since Yumi's death must be almost seven hours." Maori said, "But there is an exception, that is, sudden death that occurs during intense exercise. At this time, the human muscles The protein is easy to solidify quickly, so the stiffness after death will be faster than normal. This is the same as the principle that the first hero Musashibo Benkei died standing when he died. It has also been confirmed in medicine. It’s completely possible to stop breathing while standing."

   "But the scene of the crime was Yumi's own room," Nakamichi Kazushi asked, "You can tell me what exercise can I make Yumi do there?"

"Yumi's underwear is wet with sweat. There is a place in this hotel that can make Yumi sweat a lot while wearing underwear. That is the table tennis court." Mori said, "You don't need Yumi to stand and die, you just need to Yumi’s death time is moved forward a little bit, even one hour is enough, so as long as you play a game of billiards for ten minutes, you can achieve this goal, and moved forward for more than seven hours, it should be because you played too much. It's fierce, it's just a coincidence."...
