Conan's Winery is all my vest

Chapter 162 Fright
"What happened sister?"

Seeing this, Hoonami, who was concentrating on cleaning, temporarily put down her work and came forward to ask in a low voice.

"what?"

Mori Kogoro quickly stuffed the remaining half of a dorayaki into his mouth, and asked vaguely, "What happened?"

Before leaving this morning, Arimori Kogoro gave all the master keys of the hotel to Mori Kogoro and asked him to take care of the hotel for a while.

Therefore, Mori Kogoro asked Minaho who wanted to borrow the master key at this time, why.

Minaho looked a little uneasy and worried, "When I was cleaning the corridor on the second floor just now, I heard a loud sound of running water in Mr. Jomoto's room..."

"Oh, isn't that normal!"

Kogoro Mori interrupted Minaho's narration indifferently after hearing half of what he said.

"Mr. Cheng Yuan must have sweated too much in the morning, so he went to take a bath. Although it is not common to see people taking a bath at noon, it is not surprising."

"Mr. Mori." Brandy smiled and comforted Minaho who was hesitant to speak.

The considerate Brandy reminded Mori Kogoro, "Why don't we listen to Miss Minaho's speech?"

"If it's really just what you speculated, Mr. Mori, I don't think Ms. Minaho would have reacted like this?"

When Brandy said the last sentence, he turned his head to look at Minaho who was standing aside with a smile, and asked, "Do you think so, Miss Minaho?"

"Well, that's what Mr. Theodore said."

Minaho first glanced at Brandy gratefully, and then continued to explain.

"I thought so at first, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But who knew that after I finished cleaning the corridor on the second floor, I still heard the sound of rushing water when I came down from upstairs."

"And the strange thing is that the sound of the running water has been maintained at one sound, and has never stopped or weakened. And the intensity of the running water sound does not sound like a bath at all."

"Well...it seems a bit strange to say so."

Mori Kogoro rubbed his chin, thoughtfully.

"I thought so too, so I wanted to knock on the door and ask Mr. Cheng Yuan what happened."

Minaho couldn't hide the worry on her face, she continued worriedly, "But I knocked on Mr. Jomoto's door for a long time, but he didn't respond."

"So I want to borrow the master key that Manager Arimori kept with Mr. Mori before, and go to the room to see if something happened."

"Well... then, why don't we go to Mr. Cheng Yuan's room and take a look?"

After listening to Minaho's words, Brandy couldn't help suggesting.

"We're fine anyway, aren't we, Mr. Mori?"

Brandy met Kogoro Mori's gaze looking at him with a smile, and said calmly.

"Uh……"

Mori Kogoro, who was classified as nothing by Brandy, glanced at the sweet and pleasant Yoko Okino on the TV.

In the end, Kogoro Mori reluctantly changed his words under the expectant gaze of the two sisters Minaho and Brandy.

"Okay, let's go and have a look together."

"Thank you so much Mr. Mori, please follow me here."

Minaho expressed gratitude, and immediately she led Mori Kogoro and Brandy to the door 2003 on the second floor.

Hoonami hesitated for a moment, but still did not stop working.

There shouldn't be anything wrong. Even if there is a problem, Mr. Mori and the others are around, so I won't be of much use.

Thinking of this, Suo Nami washed the rag again, and began to clean up the coffee table in the lobby.

……

On the second floor of the hotel, at the door of Room 2003.

Hearing the sound of rushing water in the room, Mori Kogoro knocked on the door and called out Hidehiko Jomoto's name a few times.

"Mr. Cheng Yuan! Are you inside? Mr. Cheng Yuan!"

"Crash-"

Room 2003 was quiet except for the sound of pouring water as before, and there was no sound.

The expression on Mori Kogoro's face became more serious, and it seemed that something had happened to Mr. Shiromoto Hidehiko.

He didn't try to knock on the door again, but directly took out the master key that Mitsuyuki Arimori gave him when he left in the morning, and inserted it into the keyhole.

"Crack."

With a subtle metallic sound of the lock cylinder rebounding and colliding, the door of Room 2003 did not open as Kogoro Mori expected.

"Crack-"

Mori Kogoro shook the door vigorously, but the door was indeed unable to be opened after being fastened with the safety bolt from the inside.

"Huh, I don't think the situation is quite right, I'd better knock on the door, you guys back away a little bit."

"Ah? Okay, okay, Mr. Mori, please be careful."

Theodore and Minaho gave up their positions, Mori Kogoro took a deep breath, charged up and sprinted open the door.

"Kang Dang——" As the safety bolt was knocked to the ground, the scene in room 2003 was all printed in everyone's eyes.

"Crash..."

The room is quiet, all the furnishings are displayed in an orderly manner, and the interior seems to be normal.

After the door of Room 2003 was opened, the sound of pouring water became more real.

That absolutely couldn't be the sound from a bath, it was swift and rapid.

"Mr. Cheng Yuan? Are you there, Mr. Cheng Yuan?"

Mori Kogoro walked into the house following the source of the sound of water, and shouted loudly.

Minaho followed closely behind Mori Kogoro, and while she looked around for traces of Jomoto Hidehiko, she followed Mori Kogoro and shouted.

Brandy, who knew what happened a long time ago, was a few steps behind them, and tidied up the cuffs of his shirt slowly.

The sound came from the toilet that had seeped a little water near the door.

Mori Kogoro approached the toilet, carefully turned the handle, and opened the door.

"Whoa--"

As the toilet door was opened from the outside, a shallow layer of water accumulated on the toilet floor poured out of the door, wetting Mori Kogoro's leather shoes.

"This is……"

Mori Kogoro pinched the doorknob in a daze, staring blankly at the body soaked in the water.

Shiromoto Hidehiko's face had lost all color for a long time, and the flesh on the corpse's hideous incision was rolled up, and the wound had already been soaked white.

The stiff corpse had its eyes closed tightly, and the flesh on its face was wrinkled, but it could be seen that there was no pain in it.

Occasionally, a trace of diluted blood appeared briefly from the knife edge, but was soon diluted and disappeared.

　Thank you Fengyun Chuowu, for the rest of my life, you have no time to rejoice and watch chess and draw piano.

　　There is an update today.
