Conan and I start the hell-level main line
Chapter 460 Investigation in the Mist
The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and everything in front of me seemed to be turning into a miserable and eerie white. The trees and stones around me turned into dark shadows that could only be watched, and a cold temperature gradually spread throughout my body.
Regardless of whether it is a psychological effect or not, I really can’t stay outside anymore. It’s too weird and not natural at all.
Edogawa raised his head and looked directly at the store manager who had died in the fog and shadow. This scene was like being in a horror movie and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Let's put the manager's body down now..." Natsume said, and was about to leave, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Edogawa who was very hands-on.
"Mr. Officer, please give me a hand. I'll go. It'll be faster this way."
Kogoro nodded, lifted Edogawa up, and let him stand on his shoulders. Edogawa grabbed the tree trunk with both hands and climbed up as flexibly as a monkey.
?! Jiang Duchuan was stunned. He was about to untie the rope tied to the branch, but he found that there was something wrong with the way the rope was tied.
Generally speaking, people who hang themselves will tie the rope around the tree branch into a knot to prevent their bodies from loosening and falling. It is not surprising if other ways of tying the knot are used.
But this really attracted Edogawa's attention, and the detective's observation ability instantly discovered the problem.
How come this rope is made up of two ropes? Who would use two ropes to tie a knot when hanging themselves?
This is a big problem, Edogawa thought, and Kogoro below began to urge him, "Go back and think about it, but destroying the evidence is absolutely not allowed."
So Edogawa took out a small knife from his pocket. As a detective traveler, how could these two little brats come all the way from London without any means of defense?
Edogawa used a knife to cut the rope in the middle, and the manager's body fell down and was caught by Kogoro. Then the few of them did not stop and quickly returned to the hotel.
As soon as I stepped into the door, I heard a fierce quarrel coming from the second floor of the hotel. It seemed that Amuro and the foreigner were having a very unpleasant conversation. . .
"Sir, it's foggy now. For your safety, please go downstairs."
"What are you talking about? Do you really believe in ghosts and gods? The Renaissance has been over for hundreds of years, and the Industrial Revolution is about to start its second time. Are feudal superstitions still so deeply rooted?!"
"This is not a matter of feudal superstition, please. People really have disappeared before, so..."
"So, now we are advocating science. How could a good house cause someone to disappear?"
Amuro was speechless. Every word the foreigner said made sense, but every word he said about the incredible things that happened in this hotel was completely irrational. . .
Several people were attracted by the quarrel, "What's going on now?!"
Amuro said he had no choice but to let the boss drag him away, "As you can see, this guy won't listen to advice at all."
The foreigner stared at them with a straight face, "Hey, can't you let me sleep at this late hour? What excuses are you going to make?"
Natsume: "You have no say in this case. The store manager was murdered. Everyone in this hotel is a suspect. Let's go down together and explain what we did at the time of the crime."
"What? The manager is dead?" The foreigner was shocked. His hands unconsciously grabbed the door, and he had the urge to close the door and refuse to cooperate.
Edogawa came out from the side and blocked the foreigner between the door and him. He saw what he was thinking and said, "Uncle, let's go down. If he does too many abnormal things, he will be suspected."
"This... Tsk..." The foreigner snorted coldly and let go of his hand reluctantly.
After going downstairs, at the front desk, Guangyan and Liang were very anxious and panicked. They were at a loss, holding the phone and dialing the number, praying that the call would be answered.
Edogawa's eyes were serious, "Mitsuhiko, can't we call the police?"
Mitsuhiko was sweating profusely and shook his head. "No, it's too foggy outside. The police in Hogtown are unwilling to come. They said the fog has to dissipate during the day at the earliest. I called the next town, but they didn't come either."
Natsume also began to panic, "What, the police can't come?! Without the police, what should we do now!"
Kogoro complained: "What do you think I am..."
Jiang Dogan looked at the others and said solemnly, "There is no other way. We can only handle the current situation by ourselves. No matter what, we must find the murderer. He is among the seven of us. There is no doubt about it."
Snowstorm Villa mode, adding a little bit of weird atmosphere, but the confidence in finding the truth will not be hindered by it.
When everyone arrived at the restaurant, they first looked at the foreigner who had just agreed to come down and whose name had not yet been revealed.
The foreigner's mouth twitched. He naturally knew what they wanted to do. He coughed and introduced himself: "My name is Xiaobul Itlin. I am from Spain. I heard that Britain calls itself the empire on which the sun never sets, so I came here to observe it."
Guangyan stared into Yitelin's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Are you really here just for tourism?"
Yi Telin: "So what? You are not Sherlock Holmes. Why are you taking it so seriously?"
"What did you say?!" Mitsuhiko was furious. How could everyone look down on us? . .
It was Edogawa who raised his hand to stop him and got straight to the point, "Mr. Amuro said that the manager returned to his room four hours ago and did not come out again. We found out he was missing two hours later, and I have a feeling he died within half an hour."
Yi Telin crossed his arms and said, "That has nothing to do with me. You know, I have been sleeping on the second floor since two hours ago. I have never gone downstairs during this period. I have no time to commit the crime."
"Not necessarily. Do you know how the time of death is determined? It is based on the livor mortis and the degree of rigor mortis. Mr. Holmes said that this is affected by temperature. Temperature can speed up or slow down the appearance of livor mortis. The lower the temperature, the slower the livor mortis will appear."
"That is to say, the actual time of death of the store manager was at least half an hour ago. Due to the huge uncertainty, we can only guess that it was between three hours and one hour ago."
"And you, have the time to commit the crime, and so do all of us present here." Edogawa looked at everyone seriously and said.
"Okay, now everyone can tell me what you did in the two hours before we arrived."
Since there are no police, Edogawa has to go it alone, but the deterrent effect may not be enough. It doesn’t matter, there is still Officer Kogoro.
After some investigation, we basically learned that they arrived at the hotel one after another, ordered food and had dinner, and then stayed there, except for going to the toilet a few times.
Edogawa walked out of the restaurant. The toilet was next to the restaurant on the first floor. You had to go through the lobby at the front desk and pass the stairs.
Edogawa had gone to the restroom when he was looking for the store manager before, but there were no clues there either.
Now that the two murders are put together, what will be the clue to reveal the mystery?
