Conan and I start the hell-level main line

Chapter 458 Murder in the Mist (Part )

Foreigners have limited patience. Mitsuhiko and Kogoro look as if they want to turn the room upside down. Although this is not their house, they have their own privacy.

The foreigner didn't say any more words and drove all these people out without saying anything, then slammed the door shut.

This foreigner was very hostile to all of us. Edogawa shook his head. He had no choice but to obey him, glancing at Natsume who was getting more and more anxious and eager to go downstairs.

There is a legend on the second floor that in the dark night, under the wind and snow, fog descends, and confused travelers will hear waves of illusory love voices coming from the fog, like a captivating chain. Once confused, they will enter the fog and leave the world forever. Because many people have really disappeared here, the story has become more and more outrageous, and the fog is the source of all strange things.

In the restaurant, Liang, as a local businessman, explained more about the hotel to Edogawa and Mitsuhiko, two outsiders.

The two detective travelers actually learned about the rumor of the Missing fog from Sherlock Holmes, and at most they had some explanation from the locals, so the intelligence they collected was really too little.

Edogawa: "Hogg is located not far from the English Channel coast in the UK. There is usually plenty of water vapor, and fog often rises in the winter nights. Since the fog is light, it can be explained that the second floor is covered with fog."

"But what you said, people would walk into the fog and disappear. How is that possible? The house is so small, how far can you walk?"

Liang: "Don't ask me about this. I'm just a small businessman..."

At this time, Amuro and Kogoro walked in from outside. They had just gone out to look for something. The hotel was far away from the town and there was a woods behind it. They went to the woods for a quick search. Because there was wind and snow outside, they didn't dare to go far, so they came back quickly.

Kogoro: "The wind and snow outside seem to have subsided. It is expected to stop in two hours."

Natsume: "This snow looks pretty heavy. I thought it would last all night. Is it going to stop so soon?"

Perhaps the policeman Kogoro sensed the atmosphere of the case and began to work seriously. "Well, it's good to stop now. We will go to the woods to search again after the snow stops."

Edogawa touched his chin and said to Mitsuhiko, "Since this is the case, since we can't find the store manager now, let's go check out the murder scene in the lounge."

Mitsuhiko thought so too and came to the lounge to observe the layout of the room. There was a table and several chairs, as well as a fireplace. The windows were like all the windows in this hotel, and adults could not leave them open.

This hotel is almost a closed space.

Kogoro brought the Detective Traveler to the crime scene, and it was by the window that Kogoro told them the scene where the body was found.

Due to the lack of technology in this era, there are no photos left. Although they have been blocked, there are still many clues that cannot be traced due to time constraints.

The murder happened a month ago. The first person to discover it was An Shi, a front desk staff. It was early in the morning, and he came to the lounge to clean up as per his job. Then he found a body slumped in front of the window with a knife stuck in the chest. The body was lifeless.

After the police were called, Kogoro was in charge of handling the case. It was confirmed that it was a homicide and the time of death was in the early morning. But the problem was that due to the problems with this restaurant, no one went to sleep on the second floor. They all gathered in the restaurant to rest, and no one had an alibi.

Edogawa discovered the problem: "Wait, why is the deceased alone in the lounge, and everyone else is in the restaurant? It was still winter a month ago, and I heard it was snowing then, so why didn't they warm themselves by the fire in the lounge together?"

Kogoro: "Because... that person is the mayor! To put it bluntly, he has always been domineering, bullying civilians, colluding with merchants, driving up prices, and even suspected of collaborating with the enemy."

"Such a familiar setting... Isn't this a classic death..." Mitsuhiko muttered to himself, and Edogawa touched him, reminding him that he had said a very anti-time and space word for no apparent reason.

Guangyan looked at Liang unhappily, "So, Mr. Liang, you..."

Liang hurriedly defended himself: "This is none of my business. There is more than one businessman in this town, and there are good and bad businessmen. I am a more conscientious one and I did not collude with the mayor."

"Okay." Mitsuhiko was skeptical and said he would keep an eye on you.

Edogawa: "Mr. Kogoro, who was present at the time?"

"Well..." Kogoro hesitated, but since the detective asked, he decided to speak. "To be honest, everyone was there at the time, except for the foreigner."

Mitsuhiko and Edogawa were both shocked, "What?" Should this be considered a coincidence or fate?

Mitsuhiko: "So, that foreigner should have nothing to do with that incident."

Edogawa: "Don't jump to conclusions. Everything is possible before the truth comes out."

"Why were you two here at that time?" Edogawa looked at Natsume and Liang who were sitting on chairs and couldn't do anything, not even allowed to light a fire.

Liang: "To tell you the truth, the mayor wanted to talk to me about the black business that day, and threatened and bribed me to join their business, so he called me to a place far away from the town."

Mitsuhiko came up to him, examining him and testing him, "So, you took the initiative to kill him in order to resist?"

Liang: "Come on, it's nothing more than a bad relationship. At most it will go to court. Why should I risk my future to kill someone?"

"Okay, what about you?" Mitsuhiko wanted to make the same expression to Natsume, but when he saw his bully-like eyes, which exuded a murderous aura, he immediately backed off.

Really bully the weak and fear the strong.

Without trying to hide it, Natsume put his hands on his hips and said confidently: "I come whenever I want. Anyway, I have no place to stay and no money. I come here every two days to get food and shelter."

Others ( ̄□ ̄): How come this sounds like the restaurant I own.

Mitsuhiko: "The store manager doesn't care?"

"I really don't care. As far as I know, the store manager has some friendship with this guy. He usually comes here to eat and stay without charging any money." Amuro explained outside the door. He also had to clean up the plates. He was really conscientious.

Natsume frowned and explained, "The store manager and I are good friends. As for other things, I can't say anything."
