Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

"How about it?"

Akikawa Sarina already wanted to distance herself from them, so she didn't make any other comments about Toyama Kazuha's actions, but directly asked about Amuro Toru's situation.

Amuro Toru replied in a low voice, "Due to the outdoor temperature, there is no way to preliminarily determine the time of death. We can only set the time between last night when everyone separated and this morning."

"Six hours, a lot can happen during that time..."

Akikawa Sarana glanced in the direction of the room, and then asked, "Was the cause of death freezing to death?"

Amuro Toru nodded and quietly told Akikawa Sarina what they saw. "Based on the symptoms of the body, it has been preliminarily confirmed that Ms. Morimoto was lying next to the sliding door with her hands and feet tied with a silk scarf. Yesterday's cold snap caused the outdoor temperature to drop to -12 degrees Celsius at one point. At this temperature, even wearing thicker clothes can easily lead to hypothermia."

Moreover, the murderer maliciously opened the sliding door partially, giving the deceased a little hope that would never be achieved.

He also told Akikawa Sarina about the situation of this part of the sliding door.

"It looks like revenge." Akikawa Sarina, who had already seen the situation on the balcony through the surveillance camera, stated her earlier conclusion, "Let her feel that tiny bit of heat before she dies, hope is within reach but she can never reach it... How cruel."

Toru Amuro also thought so, so he specifically told Akikawa Sarina about the situation of the sliding door.

After Kogoro Mori and his companions finished investigating the scene and the surrounding area, everyone gathered around the long table in the restaurant again.

Kogoro Mouri glanced at everyone. Compared to yesterday's case where they were still unsure whether it was an accident or homicide, they were 100% sure that Morimoto Mika's death this morning was a homicide.

Moreover, it is a homicide that cruelly tortures the deceased psychologically before his death.

Because of the heavy snow, all possible clues on the balcony were completely covered, and they couldn't even confirm that it was a secret room.

"Amuro, are there any clues in the surveillance?" Kogoro Mori looked at Toru Amuro and asked.

Amuro Toru, who had just returned, shook his head. He looked very unhappy since he came back. "All the surveillance cameras in the villa courtyard have been destroyed."

"What?!" Kogoro Mouri was shocked.

The others were equally shocked that the surveillance camera in the courtyard was destroyed...

Nomura Kento muttered to himself, "Could it be that because the murderer's figure was captured on camera yesterday, the murderer destroyed the surveillance camera before committing the crime this time?"

No one paid any attention to his soliloquy.

Amuro Toru continued: "However, by monitoring the time of destruction, the time of death can be shortened."

Because there was only one key to the monitoring room in the hands of Butler Beidao, and the door of the monitoring room was locked by Butler Beidao, so what was destroyed was the camera outside, but the previous monitoring data was still there.

"The first camera to be smashed was the one that captured Mr. Yokoyama's room last night, and the last one was the one that captured the balcony of Ms. Morimoto's room. The first one was at 2:15 a.m., and the last one was at 2:35 a.m."

Toru Amuro transcribed the process of the surveillance being destroyed using his mobile phone. He showed it to Kogoro Mori. Nothing useful was captured in the video. All the cameras were knocked off directly with a wooden stick.

Hattori Heiji, who was in charge of the investigation and was wrapped in a blanket drinking warm soup outside, pointed to the wooden stick he had placed on the table and said, "This stick is next to the last surveillance camera... A-choo!"

Toyama Kazuha looked at him worriedly, watching him sneeze, "Heiji, do you want to drink another bowl? Or take some medicine?"

Hattori Heiji wiped his nose with a tissue to block his sneeze, "No, no, it's not that cold. I'm just feeling the heat."

He is in good health and he is not trying to be brave when he says this.

Yuanshan Heye was worried, so he touched his forehead and then looked at the doctor present.

Noticing her gaze, Ochi Eri smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Toyama, Hattori-kun is in good health and has no symptoms of a cold for the time being."

As she said this, she glanced at Akikawa Sarana who was sitting at the corner of the table, thinking about something.

"Okay Heye, I'm fine."

Hattori Heiji said nonchalantly: "Look, Dr. Ochi has already said that I'm fine."

After hearing what the doctor said, Yuanshan Heye felt a little embarrassed and stopped interrupting everyone's analysis of the case.

"That is to say, the earliest time of death of the deceased was after 2:35."

Maori Kogoro concluded, "Now please tell me, after returning to your room last night, did you leave the room again? What did you do after you came out?"
