Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

Everyone in the office watched the TV interview video.

“The massage service here seems to be quite effective!”

"what!!"

"what!!"

“Guests who want to experience it are welcome to come and enjoy the services our hotel has to offer.”

Hattori paused the video: "The sound is indeed, exactly the same as the scream just now."

"By the way, did the old man have any grudges with any guests?"

"No, he is always very enthusiastic towards the guests, so as far as the guests are concerned, he should be very popular."

"Wait..." Baijiu interrupted her: "You mean the guests...? Could it be that?"

"Yes, because he was very strict with me, the waitress, and the chef."

The proprietress clasped her hands together and said, "I heard that the old man once fired a head waiter and kicked her out of this hotel."

"Excuse me, do you remember that person's name?"

"Well..." The lady boss took a deep breath and said, "Because it's what I heard when I got married here."

"So, I don't really know much about it, I just know that she seems to have a child with her."

Baijiu observed the surroundings and said, "By the way, may I ask if those two writers often stay at this hotel?"

"Yes, Miss Xiaocheng comes here occasionally, and Dalang comes here quite often. So..."

"My son Xiaoxiong drowned in the open-air bath a year ago. They were staying here with us."

"Hmm?" Everyone instantly perked up.

"It was the first time the warehouse was robbed, and that happened on that day. I was about to take Xiaoxiong to the hospital when the police came over."

"It was a mess. I was so busy that day that I didn't even have time to clean the open-air bath."

"May I ask if the two of them did anything...suspicious on that day?" Yamamura Cao asked.

"Well, I didn't pay much attention to it, but the feeling they gave me this time seemed different from before."

"I remember that Dalang didn't have a beard on his chin, and Ms. Xiaocheng didn't wear those glasses."

Shancun Cao put his hands on the table: "Could this just be determined based on their mood?"

"That's true." The proprietress responded with a smile.

"But the snow is still falling." Heiji looked at the time: "Oh no, it's been 1 hour and 28 minutes since the body was found."

"If we don't quickly figure out the crime method and understand the surrounding situation, the snow will gradually change. Then what's next——"

"Wait a minute!" Shancuncao signaled him to stop: "Wait a minute, how do you know the time so accurately? There was clearly a moment of darkness at that time."

"Hey... My watch is luminous, so I can see it clearly even in the dark!"

Suddenly, a laser flashed through everyone's minds.

Baijiu just smiled faintly: "Sure enough, the murderer is that person. It seems that my reasoning is still superior to theirs."

Conan and Heiji suddenly realized and clapped their hands.

"I see, that's how it is! No wonder that person at that time would——"

"Well... it doesn't seem right to say this at this time."

The proprietress asked tentatively, "But the weather is so cold, would you like some kudzu powder soup?"

"Thank you so much!" Shancuncao rubbed his palms together, "I can't imagine how warm my body felt after drinking this!"

"You should have guessed who the murderer is, right?"

"of course."

After a while, Officer Yamamura gathered everyone next to the hot spring.

"You mean to recreate the crime scene?" Shancun Cao took out a pen and notebook.

Why did he get promoted so quickly? Because Shancuncao, who was very perceptive, had already smelled the scent of get off work and promotion.

"Yes." Hattori put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall: "We heard the old man's cry and prepared to leave the house."

"But because I wanted to take a shortcut, I came to this open-air bath, but there was no way to go through the bath to the house."

“So we decided to just go outside the hotel for now and go through the back.”

"Of course." Heiji leaned down and held a piece of soap. "This is after confirming that there is no transparent table in the hot spring."

He threw it into the hot spring, causing a faint splash of water.

"Then we walked outside the hotel for a while and then went out the back door to leave the house."

"Hey...Conan! Aren't you coming with us?"

Yamamura Cao looked at him in confusion, because Conan was particularly quiet this time, which was very different from his previous performance.

Conan crossed his arms and shivered: "Because it's so cold outside, and it's so far away from the house."

"Really, whatever you want."

They jogged outside and came to the house through the back door.

Heiji recounted what happened before the incident.

"But after arriving here, the main power switch of the house was turned off, and we were suddenly plunged into darkness."

"As a last resort, we turned on the flashlight and found the paper sliding door that had been cut."

He pushed the door open and said, "When I went inside, I found that the old man had been killed with a sickle. This is what happened in the whole case."

"Is what I described correct?" Hattori confirmed.

"Yes."

Shancuncao spread his hands in confusion: "But...what can this clarify? It's nothing more than straightening out the case."

Baijiu looked at the confused crowd and couldn't help but said coldly: "This method is very simple! Can't you see it?"

"Doesn't this prove that someone can get here faster than everyone else who came around from behind?"

"Isn't that right, Conan?"

"Yeah! Big Brother Yiyu is right!"

"Eh?! Why are you here?!" Shancuncao was deeply shocked and rubbed his eyes: "Aren't you staying over there————"

Conan interrupted Yamamura Sou's words: "Because it's very fast to walk through the open-air bath."

"You mean the open-air bath?"

"Uh-huh!!"

Yamamura touched Conan's sleeves to confirm: "The problem is that your clothes don't look that wet."

"Oh!!" Shancuncao suddenly realized: "Could it be that you took off your clothes and swam here from the hot spring naked?"

"No...no." Conan almost couldn't hold it in.

"I ran along the surface of the hot spring water in the open-air bath."

"You...you mean run? Is there really a way to run?"

Shancuncao stood blankly in front of the hot spring, wisdom written all over his face, staring at the other side in confusion.
