"Dad, have you found out anything?"

Xiaolan quickly put away her phone and handed over the coat that Kogoro had just taken off before the autopsy.

Kogoro Mouri just took the camera that Xiaolan used to take pictures of the fireworks display and gave it to Kazushi Nakamichi to take the picture, while he himself started the autopsy.

At this time, the preliminary autopsy was completed, and Nakamichi Kazushi covered Yumi with a piece of clothing to hide her body.

——She died beautifully.

Yumi Horikoshi was wearing a loose bathrobe and no underwear. She was holding a gun in her hand, with a bullet hole on her head, and a gorgeous blood flower blooming on the wall.

It was like just leaving the bath and calmly walking towards death, just to leave behind the most beautiful appearance of oneself.

But no matter how beautiful a death is, it is still death, and it cannot cover up the fact that a beautiful flower has become a cold corpse.

"Judging from her post-mortem stiffness, Yumi has been dead for at least seven hours."

Kogoro quickly put forward his conclusion.

Seven hours ago, it was around six in the afternoon. They had just finished dinner and were preparing to play billiard together.

Yumi Horikoshi returned to her room alone.

During that time, they were all playing billiards at the table, except for Chun, who went out for a few minutes at some point.

If Yumi died at that time, the possibility of suicide is actually very high, but...

Nakamichi Kazushi, who performed the autopsy with him, also quickly put forward his own guess: "Could it be that Yumi separated from us, returned to the room alone, and shot herself in the head with the pistol she had hidden?"

"You mean...she committed suicide?"

"But why did she commit suicide? There is no reason at all!"

However, Ayashiro Yukio remembered that when they were chatting together in the afternoon, Yumi said that she didn't want to live anymore.

Although this matter was mentioned, Kogoro standing by did not think so.

He raised his hand and made a gesture as if he was putting a gun to his head, and his eyes quickly became heavy.

There were no signs of burns on Yumi's wounds, and the way her right hand held the gun was also abnormal, so it was impossible that she committed suicide.

We can't just make this decision.

He Zhi...didn't he notice this?

"Hey, Kazushi, when someone shoots themselves, the muzzle of the gun should be tightly against the head, right?"

……

After confirming that Yumi's cause of death was not suicide and communicating the situation with the people in the hotel, Kogoro Mori temporarily moved away from everyone under the pretext of going to the bathroom and went to the corridor alone to vent his anger.

Oh, what do you mean by someone else? If it was someone who came in here from outside...why did she have to deliberately make it look like she committed suicide?

Achun said that when he went out, he saw Yumi, who was already dead at that time.

As for what Yukio said about ghosts haunting the place...that's impossible.

Maybe... Yumi was still alive at that time?

Two situations:

First, Atsushi Omura was lying.

Second, there was something wrong with his autopsy results.

Kogoro Mori tends to believe the latter because Omura Jun sounded too panicked when he spoke, so panicked that everyone would think he was the murderer.

But if he killed Yumi, there would be no need to tell this.

So... is it the second one?

What could be the cause?

Kogoro Mouri thought about it and walked outside the billiard hall, looking at the place where Jun said he saw Yumi.

From this position, you can see several of them playing billiards——

...Table tennis?

He remembered that only one of them strongly suggested that they play billiards...

Middle way and ambition.

Thinking of what he said today...

But why?

【Amors or Mors.】

【Love or death.】

"Amors or Mors." Maria repeated the sentence and then explained its translation to Li An, "This sentence means 'love or death', but this is not the meaning of divination I am talking about. Do you have paper and pen?"

Li An handed over a piece of paper at a very timely moment.

Maria wrote the word mors on the paper.

"In Latin, Amor is another name for Cupid, the god of love, and Mors means the god of death."

Wait, the Grim Reaper?

Li An always felt that something was not right. How could this not be about her?

"So what do you mean by this divination...?"

"Do you have an ace of spades?"

Li An cut out one and handed it to her.

Maria Toda placed the Ace of Spades in front of the paper mors.

So mors became Amors.

Maria smiled at this moment when there was an anxious knock at the door.

"Look... the god of love and the god of death are only separated by the ace of spades."

Li An: “???”

Ms. Maria, do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Before she had time to think about what Maria meant, the calling and knocking at the door became more urgent.

"Ms. Maria? Sister Li An!"

"Something happened outside!"

Bang, bang, bang!

Boom!

A tall figure was thrown heavily to the ground with a heavy thud.

Zhongdao and Zhiyang lay on the wooden floor, looking at the ceiling light.

As pale as all his arguments.

Kogoro Mouri stood up straight and straightened his messy clothes with a serious face.

"No matter what your reasons are, your desire to kill someone..."

“I don’t even want to understand.”

……

"It's already three in the morning. Where on earth is Manager Jin Gu?"

"Ms. Kuroba hasn't come back yet..."

Hattori Heiji's sleepiness has reached its limit.

The kid next to him was like a little rascal, and he was adamant and refused to tell him about Kudo Shinichi's situation no matter how he asked.

As for the little girl, he did not examine her carefully.

Just wait until the trip is over before continuing your search.

He yawned long and hard.

The only ones who stayed there were the waiter Iwai, college students Kento Toba and Ayako Ooki, high school students Heiji Hattori and Conan Edogawa, and the foreign student Ai Haibara.

The fugitive college student Kuroba Kuriyasu has not returned yet, and it is hard to imagine why the divination takes so long.

At this time in the restaurant, Oki Ayako was also getting impatient waiting.

"Yanren, waiting like this is not a solution, why don't we go back?"

"Wait a moment, maybe whoever leaves first will lose?" Toba Kento replied with a smile.

He glanced at his watch, and when he looked up again, he seemed to see something in the dark.

There seems to be a vague shadow outside the window.

"Strange, what is that?"

"It seems like the innkeeper is driving."

"Look, it's really the boss..."

"It looks like the quiz is finally about to begin."

"You are still awesome."

"Strange, didn't the boss turn on the lights?"

"Wait a minute... it seems like..."

"That's a cliff over there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two shadows, one big and one small, jumped out of the open window and ran in the same direction.

Humid water vapor rose outside the window, and dense dark clouds covered this dangerous place.

Mud splashed on the flimsy ground, leaving two shallow footprints along the long ruts.

In the dim night, Conan and Hattori saw store manager Kanaya wearing a Sherlock Holmes costume in the car.

"Mr. Kanaya? Mr. Kanaya!"

"Stop the car quickly!"

They pounded on the silver sedan that carried death, hoping to wake him up.

The car paused for a moment, then suddenly accelerated.

——Holmes fell off a cliff.
