Detective Conan no Miya Yuzu

【56】Fiery red maple leaf

Time passed quickly, and it was approaching mid-November. Someone mentioned that they wanted to see maple leaves, and Yuzu and the others decided to go to Hachioji City, Tokyo to enjoy the beauty of maple leaves on weekends.

At a time like this, Yuzu, who has a younger brother and a younger sister, will naturally not forget Conan and Xiao Ai.And Yuanzi didn't know where to find a tour group, including Xiaolan and Ying, a total of six people settled down like this.

Apart from them, there were six other people in the tour group, and one of them they also knew was Akira Yamashima, a person Conan particularly disliked.When seeing him, Conan can be said to have a stinky face.

The other five people are also in a group, and there is a couple among them who are very affectionate, which makes Yuanzi not like to see them very much. There is a couple in their group, which is already very heart-wrenching. Why is there another couple?

The remaining three people are a woman, and the other two are boys, but one of the men probably likes that woman, and the courteous appearance can be said to be very doglike.Oh, the season of love.Yuanzi rolled his eyes and complained, it's really not suitable for going out with single dogs.

After some introductions, they all knew their names.The couple, the man's name is Uehashi Renjiro, and the woman's name is Nana Nana.Among the remaining three, the woman is Zhikou Hongzi, the courteous man is Asakawa Yun, and the last one is Changchuan Chongming.

This is how the two-day, one-night trip began, and it was not only the November wind that dyed the maple leaves red, but also the bright and suffocating blood.

Although it is a tour group, it only provides a place to live, a homestay.This is not only the maple leaf, but also the hot spring, which is a good place. The key is that it is very close to the Maple Leaf Garden, and it only takes 10 minutes to get there.Even if you don't want to go to the Maple Leaf Garden, there are maple trees in the courtyard of this homestay.

Seeing Xiaolan and Ying walking together, Yuzu resisted the urge to ask them to play together, and it was not only Yuzi who had this idea, but also Yuanzi.As a matter of course, Yuzu and Yuanzi formed a pair, with two little ghosts, which was of course Yuanzi's idea.

It was originally a four-person game, but suddenly three people joined in.That's right, the three who were abandoned by another couple.

"You don't want to disturb the date between Mr. Shangqiao and Miss Qidao, right?" Sonoko was very familiar with him, so he moved around.

"Yes." Chongming Changchuan, who was relatively large.Unexpectedly, she is easily shy, simple-minded, and very happy.

"Huh." The voice came from Asakawa Yun, who seemed to despise the attitude of those two people.

"..." Zhikou Hongzi's complexion was not very good, she pulled the corner of her mouth reluctantly, her smile was uglier than her cry.Although it is rude to say so, it is very appropriate to describe it.

Datiao's Yuanzi also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and stuck out her tongue secretly, but she still stopped talking.

The group was about to leave when they heard

"Senior, Yuzu-senpai!" Then, I saw Akira Yamashima running over panting.

Xiao Ai immediately noticed the gloomy face of a big detective next to him, hey, I'm jealous.Xiao Ai looked at Akira Yamashima with interest, what kind of person could make the detective feel so threatened?

I have to say that Akira Yamashima is quite handsome.He is handsome and comfortable, and the aura around him is soft and sunny. I have to say that he is very popular with girls.No, that Miss Suzuki had her eyes fixed on him when he came out?

Looking at Yuzu again, it is also quite suitable for Akira Yamashima.Xiao Ai thought so.

"What did you just say?" Only hearing the suppressed anger in her ears, Xiao Ai turned her head and saw the former great detective, no, the current Conan was staring at her.Oh, so she said this sentence just now?

"Who says it's suitable, it's not suitable at all." Conan replied seriously.After finishing speaking, he went to Yuzu.

It seems that the identity of the great detective has adapted well, Xiao Ai thought badly, let him always be like this.

The breeze blows, rolling up a layer of maple leaves.What catches the eye is the maple leaves that are as red as fire, dancing with the wind.

For you, the scenery fascinates your eyes, but for me, you only fascinate my eyes.Conan looked up and saw the grapefruit looking at the maple tree, shouldn't he say something in this situation?

Conan's eyes moved slightly, "..." Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Akira Yamashima.This is undoubtedly the enemy, Conan quietly rolled his eyes.

"Sister."

Shan Dao looked at Yuzu, feeling that she would blend into the maple leaf like this, and couldn't help feeling flustered, anxious to grab something.

"Huh?" Yuzu moved her eyes away from the flying maple leaves, and looked at Shandao in confusion.

Shan Dao saw the panic reflected in Yuzu's eyes, suppressed the panic in his heart, and smiled, "Sister, let's go look elsewhere."

"...Okay." Although Yuzu didn't know what happened to Shandao, she thoughtfully didn't ask anything, just followed Shandao.

. . .I feel inexplicably eating a handful of dog food, is there something wrong with this feeling?Sonoko shook off the unrealistic thoughts in her mind, "Hey, you two wait for me."

The B&B is very close. After watching the maple leaves, a few people decided to go back to the B&B for dinner and then go to the hot spring in the afternoon. It was a perfect plan.

"Yuzu, here." Xiao Lan waved at Yuzu.

The two who disappeared all morning seemed to be having a good time, the smiles on their faces were dazzling.Resisting the urge to complain, Sonoko sat next to Ying.

Yuzi sat next to Xiaolan and bumped into Xiaolan, "Lan, are you having fun?"

"Yeah." Xiao Lan blushed, and glanced at Ying secretly, "Very happy." She was like a shy little girl, really hopeless.

Different from the affection of these two people, another couple seems to have a dispute.

"Heh, haven't you forgotten her?" The woman slapped the table directly, deafeningly, and the surroundings fell silent for a while.

"Don't talk nonsense!" The man was like a soft persimmon at first, allowing his girlfriend to complain, but these words were like fire, directly ignited the bomb.medicine.Bao, the aura actually scared the girlfriend next to him.

"It's just unreasonable." The man finally slapped the table angrily and stood up, as if he was about to leave.

"Shangqiao, where are you going?" Nana Nana frowned.

"Don't bother me." Uehashi paused when he heard Nana Nana's words, and left.

The meal ended so hastily, and the grapefruit and the others naturally didn't enjoy it.However, such a thing happened, it is not easy to eat anymore.

-

"what!"

"What's that sound?" Yuanzi was awakened by the screams, with a dazed expression on his face.

"Sister Yuzu, sister Yuzu!" Conan knocked on the door anxiously.

"What are you doing, brat?" Sonoko yawned, opened the door, rolled his eyes when he saw Conan, turned around and entered the room, looking like he was going to sleep again.

"Sister Sonoko, where is sister Yuzu?" Conan asked in a panic, not seeing Yuzu.

"I don't know. Didn't Yuzu go on vacation with you two brats?" Yuanzi was helpless, and found someone here.

"But sister Yuzu is not in the room." Conan murmured.

not there?Sonoko woke up now. "Is the grapefruit in Xiaolan's place?"

Conan shook his head.

The two were about to go out to find grapefruit, when Xiaolan ran over. It turned out that a dead person was found in the hot spring.And Xiaolan and Yuzu happened to be nearby, Yuzu asked Xiaolan to call the police.

"Little ghost, why didn't you say that Xiaolan is gone too?" Yuanzi despised.

"..." Conan blushed quietly, avoiding Sonoko's eyes unnaturally.Isn't he in a moment of impatience?

The deceased was Jinjiro Uemashi, who was found in the women's bath.Conan has seen the scene, it can be said that it is very cruel.Shangqiao was submerged in the water, and the water around him was dyed red, with red maple leaves floating on it.

If this hadn't happened, it should be a beautiful scene, but there is no if.

The body was picked up, and the bridge was killed from the front.It was fatal with a single knife. Even so, there were still small wounds on the body, and the belt buckle in front of the trousers was open. Why were there these wounds?

Moreover, there are not only maple leaves on the water around the corpse, but also some weeds. Where did this come from?

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Conan pulled out a thread from the belt buckle. If he guessed correctly, it should be part of the rope.

Combining the clues he found, Conan determined that this was not the scene of the first crime.

"Hey, Conan, where are you going?" Yuzu saw Conan running out and shouted from behind.

"Go to the toilet." Conan said casually.As for him, he actually left the B&B and searched around outside the B&B before finding the nearest place to Yutang.It so happens that there are former maple trees here.

Conan found a blood-stained tree trunk nearby, which was the scene of the first crime.Conan walked straight forward along the tree trunk, just facing Yutang.So, how did he transport the corpse from here?

Conan climbed up the tree with a confident smile on his lips. He already knew how the murderer transported the dead across the wall.All that's left is evidence.

-

"The name of the deceased is Jinjiro Uehashi, and the body was found 10 minutes ago." A policeman from the Hachioji City Police Department named Chuan Mizusan.

"Estimated time of death is between 01:30 noon and [-]:[-]."

"Then what are you all doing during this time?" Chuan Shui turned his gaze to the few people related to the victim.

Chuan Shui looked at Yuzu and Xiaolan, feeling familiar. When Xiaolan introduced herself, he tentatively asked, "Is my father Mr. Mori Kogoro?"

"It's my father." Although Xiaolan was puzzled, she still nodded.

"It turned out to be the daughter of the Maori detective, so what is the relationship between you guys and the victim?" Chuan Shui asked.

"I just met today." Ying was at the side, took Xiaolan to his side, and said calmly.

"So what about you?" Chuan Shui asked the others naturally, pretending not to see Ying's movements.

"My name is Nana Nana, and it's Renjiro." Mizumi Nanachi didn't seem to understand, "It's Uemashi's girlfriend. From one o'clock to 01:30, I slept alone in the room. Because not long ago, the two of us There was a quarrel."

"Can anyone prove it?" Chuan Shui asked after holding the notebook for a few times.

"..." Seven Island shook his head.

"My name is Zhikou Hongzi. Before one o'clock in the afternoon, I was relaxing outside with Asakawa. When I went to take a bath at 01:30, I found Shangqiao's body." Zhikou pursed her lips and lowered her eyelids.

"My name is Asakawa Yun, Hongzi, we returned to the hotel at about [-]:[-], and then I went back to the room until I heard Hongzi's voice." Asakawa glanced at Zhikou when he was talking, Conan sees keenly, they?

When Asakawa said that, Conan also remembered Zhikou's surprised appearance.

"Why do you remember so clearly?" Chuan Shui asked curiously.

"Because I just checked the time at that time." Asakawa replied truthfully.

"My name is Chang Chuan Chongming. Because the lunch at noon was not good, I went out to have another meal." Chang Chuan scratched his head and replied naively.

"Can anyone prove it?" Chuan Shui glanced at Chang Chuan, expressing that he could understand that he would go out for another meal.

"No..." Chang Chuan shook his head.

"Uncle, the things in your pocket are about to fall out." Conan pulled Chang Chuan's trousers.

Chang Chuan took out something in his hand, a small ticket. "Police, can this be used as an alibi?"

Chuan Shui looked at the time on it, and it showed fifteen minutes past one. "Go to this store and ask."

In this way, except for Chang Chuan, everyone else will be suspected.Who told the lie?Also, the murder weapon was gone.

"Police, can we go?" Asakawa asked after seeing that the police had made records.

"..." Chuan Shui asked the police next to him again, "Now, you..."

"Officer, I found this in Asakawa's room." A policeman held the bagged item in front of Chuan Shui. It was a knife with blood on it.There is no doubt that this is the murder weapon.

The case was solved so easily?Conan frowned.

"It seems that you don't need to go out this time." Xiao Ai added from the side.

"The matter is not over yet, this person is not the murderer." Conan's lens reflected a light, the corner of his mouth raised, he finally knew who the murderer was.

Zhikou looked at Asakawa in disbelief, how could it be him?

"Since the murder weapon has also been found, then this case will be..." Chuan Shui closed his notebook and instructed the police next to him to handcuff Asakawa.

"Wait, he's not the murderer." "Yuanzi" suddenly said.

"The murderer wasn't him, who would it be?" Chuan Shui was surprised, and the murder weapon was also found in his room.

"The real murderer, Miss Zhikou Hongzi, is you!" "Yuanzi" pointed at Zhikou and said.

"No, no, it's not me..." Zhikou took a few steps back before standing still.

"That's right, it was me, the one who killed that bastard Shangqiao!" Asakawa's resentful voice overshadowed Zhikou's, and everyone's attention was drawn to him for a while.

"Then let me ask you, where did the weeds floating on the water come from, why the belt buckle was undone, and finally, how did the fine wounds on the deceased come from? Asakawa Ning, can you explain all these ?" "Yuanzi" asked one by one, and Asakawa was dumbfounded by the rhetorical question.

"Replacing someone is also a crime, Mr. Asakawa. For this, I believe that the police officer Chuan Shui will sentence you later. Now, let's continue with the murder case of Mr. Shangqiao." After "Sonoko" finished speaking, Asakawa never speak.

"Could it be that the murder didn't happen here?" Yuzu reacted quickly, and immediately discovered the doubts.

"That's right, the murder happened outside this bath, in the maple forest, Police Officer Chuan Shui, there should still be blood on the tree trunk."

"Quick, go and have a look." Chuan Shui instructed a police officer to look for it.

"After Miss Zhikou and Mr. Asakawa separated, I met Mr. Uehashi." "Sonoko" just said a word, but was interrupted again.

"So, it's you, Hongzi. You are the one that Renjiro never forgets!" Qi Dao frantically rushed to hit Zhikou, but was stopped by the police.

"Miss Zhikou gave Mr. Shangqiao a knife at that time, and this knife killed Mr. Shangqiao on the spot."

"Then how did Zhikou transport the corpse to the bath?" Chuan Shui asked curiously.

"Miss Zhikou first passed one end of the rope through Mr. Shangqiao's belt buckle, and tied it around the waist. The other end was tied with a stone, thrown over the raised corner of the eaves above the bath, and pulled from this side. The corpse of Mr. Shangqiao can fly over the fence." "Yuanzi" analyzed.

"You say I'm a murderer, what's the evidence?" Zhikou's face is ferocious, without the fresh and beautiful appearance before, like a person who has been corrupted by a demon, which is sad and terrifying.

"Where's that rope?" "Yuanzi"'s cold words made Zhikou lose his momentum.

"Why didn't you say it? Why didn't you say that you didn't find it in the room?" "Yuanzi" helped Zhikou to refute, "You still can't say it at all, because the rope is on your body now!"

As soon as the word "Yuanzi" was uttered, Zhikou fell to the ground like a deflated balloon.

"It was me, I killed him." Zhikou covered his face with his hands, "He betrayed me."

Nana Qishima also lost the momentum she had just now, turned her head away, her face was covered with tears, how could she not be sad?
