134. Under the Snowfall

"Kudo, Tuo, what do you think of this case?"

He Ye and Ran Mori went to help Yasuhira Ono decorate the room for a birthday party, while Kasuya Yamamura went to see the investigation results with the police.

In the corridor, Hattori Heiji held his arms. Although he was asking, he obviously had a guess.

"Of course, someone was making trouble while it was dark." Conan thought: "But after searching everyone's bodies, no one was found holding a sharp blade, which means..."

"The weapon is probably broken light bulb fragments." The two smiled tacitly.

Hattori Heiji said: "Although it's not clear how the other party broke the light bulb, he must have used the fragments of the light bulb that he had already held in his hand to wield around the darkness, which is beyond doubt."

Conan nodded, "Yes, after scratching people, just throw the fragments onto the ground and mix them with the broken fragments at that time and you can get through the test."

"What do you think, earth-shaking?" Hattori Heiji looked over.

Chen Xing smiled, "I'll go to the bathroom."

Looking at his back as he walked away, Hattori Heiji wondered: "I can suspect that he found some clues, but did he mean to refuse to share?"

"But he does wash his hands very frequently." Conan touched his chin.

"Does he have a cleanliness obsession?"

"It should be."

The two chatted indiscriminately, but they didn't think that the other corner of the iron triangle had discovered clues that they didn't even notice, and acted alone.

...

The snow was silent under the moonlight, and the hot open-air bathhouse swept away calmly. At some point, a black shadow carrying a sickle jumped over the edge of the pool, ran over the water, and headed straight to the door of the backyard.

A string of footprints were left on the snow, and the black shadow passed through the corridor, opening the barrier door.

"Who are you?" In the room, Onobanzo screamed in horror.

But the person who came was not talking nonsense at all, his eyes were fierce and his sickle was swung heavily in his hand.

"ah!"

It is hard to believe that an old man can make such a singular shout, which is enough to alarm the people still in the hotel in front.

When Hattori Heiji and others arrived, they saw Onobanzo sitting on the tatami at a glance, and of course his wet pants.

And, the sickle fell at hand, and the female writer Xiao Liulu was sitting in a daze.

There is also the honor of wiping hands quietly aside.

"What's going on?" Kogoro Mouri said blankly.

Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other and frowned.

As an old person on the scene, of course, I can understand what happened in front of me, but why?

"Can the so-called sickle weasel is Miss Liulu?" Yamamura Cao jumped into the house and stared at her with a bright look.

"Is it true?" Mori Ran said in disbelief.

At the scene where she was caught, Xiao Liulu was irrefutable. She slowly stood up, "When did you find out? Don't tell me that you will come here as a coincidence."

"It should be in the warehouse." Conan looked at Chen Xing, "When we were looking for the sickle together at the beginning."

He Ye said in surprise: "What, it was already..."

"Maybe Tuo wants to see what she will do next." Hattori Heiji said.

Xiao Liulu chuckled lightly, "Can you still see clearly in that darkness?"

Chen Xing said 'yes'.

Little Liu Luran was silenced, what else could she say about this?

She gritted her teeth, and never expected that after so long, she would be in the hands of such a guy, and she would hate him so much.

"At the same time, how did she do it?" said Yamamura Sho: "The forensics just now did not detect anything on the light bulb debris."

"Chewing gum, nail slices." Chen Xing said.

Conan was stunned and then suddenly realized, "It was sticking chewing gum on the light bulb. You deliberately knocked your head against the outer cover of the light bulb and pretended to be anxious. Once an old light bulb touches something, it will cause a surface temperature difference and easily explode."

Hattori Heiji raised his arm, "and in the dark, he took the luminous watch I was wearing and the light emitted by the cigarette in the uncle's hand as the target."

Then, he explained that Xiao Liulu could get a sickle from the warehouse and avoid everyone from coming here. He used the air gun and water gun stolen from the warehouse that he had pretended to be a thief to destroy the room that was about to hold a birthday party, so as to lure the police away from the warehouse.

"But the most important point is how did she run over the hot spring water?" said Yamamura Cao. "Because we all came from the back door, we didn't see other people's footprints on the way."

Speaking of this, he looked at Chen Xing in surprise, "So Mr. Tuya also ran over from the hot spring?"

"Yes." Chen Xing nodded.

Yamamura's eyes widened, then he grabbed his arm excitedly, "Let me teach me!"

Chen Xing shook his head and took his hand away, "Because of the ginger noodle soup."

"Ge Noodle Soup?" Yamamura Cao was confused. Could it be that he could float on the water after drinking that?

"To be precise, it is between liquid and solid before turning into Katsunomiya soup." Hattori Heiji suddenly realized and explained: "This is a swelling phenomenon. Even if a smaller force is slowly applied, it will still be a viscous liquid. But if a stronger force is applied in one breath, it will harden and become like a solid."

"The evidence is that didn't Kangping say that he wanted to chase after the Kamaita but drowned?" Conan said: "That's because the hot spring water was in the same state as at that time, just like the bottomless swamp."

"So did the kudzu glutinous rice noodles stolen from the warehouse before?" Kogoro Maori asked in confusion: "But there are so many kudzu glutinous rice noodles in the hot springs, what will she plan to deal with afterwards?"

Hattori Heiji said: "The hot springs are drained from the ground and will naturally flow away on their own after a while. Anyway, because of the rumors about the Kamaita, no one will come to take a hot spring during this period."

When all the techniques are analyzed in front of you, the original bizarre thing becomes ordinary. Of course, there are inevitably no results that cannot be presented, but it is precisely because of this that someone can survive.

Onobanzo had calmed down a little, and at this moment, he couldn't help but speak out in anger, "Why do you want to kill me?"

Little Liu Lu ignored him at all, just looked at Takami Ono's fingers and whispered: "My mother has the cracks on your hands."

"What?" Ono Takami was stunned.

Xiao Liulu smiled, "She was abused by this old guy at that time."

It's like ridicule, with a heart-wrenching hatred.

Yamamura Cao said: "Can you say that the waiter for the waiter who was treated too much by the old man before and was finally fired..."

"It's my mother." Xiao Liulu said lightly: "My mother quickly went to find other jobs, but because she was fired here, the bad news spread. No hotel was willing to hire her. In order to get me food and clothing, she kept working hard, and ended up passing two years later."

Kogoro Mori looked down at Onobunozo, who was elsewhere, and said, "But why were he fired?"

Xiao Liulu said, "Because the hotel master who had a good relationship with my mother came to me with a marriage. The other party was the only daughter of a hotel. As long as they got married, they could merge the hotel and expand their operations."

Next to him, Takami Ono's lips moved, "Will that be..."

"That's right, if it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't have suffered that kind of suffering and wouldn't have died so early!" Xiao Liulu said coldly: "Actually, I have also counted you as one of my targets of revenge."

Ono Takami's face turned pale.

"But I gave up this idea when I saw your hands that were as cracked as my mother." Xiao Liulu lowered her eyes, "And I don't want the boy who almost drowned in this open-air bath to experience the same experience as me."

"So, is it you who took the photo of Kamaita and sent it to the magazine?" Hattori Heiji asked.

"Yes, and I also want to experiment to see if I can really run on the water." Xiao Liulu said: "If the rumors about the sycamore spread, no guests would dare to come to this open-air bath, which would make it easier for me to do anything."

"But why is it a Kamaita?" Kogoro Mori said curiously.

"It should be because the motivation for hatred is to crack." Conan said: "It is said that the reason for the formation of the sycamore is that people used to think that the vacuum generated in the center of the cyclone would cause the skin to rupture. But in fact, it has been confirmed that the surface of the skin will cool down rapidly and crack due to the heat of vaporization, which is exactly what we generally call cracking now. Therefore, the legend of the sycamore is mostly in the Snow Country."

When everything was settled, Xiao Liulu was taken away by the police.

On a snowy night, Oye Benzang stood at the door, smiled mockingly, and turned back to the inner room.

"What an annoying guy." Hattori Heiji had always said anything, "I didn't even say thank you to Tuoba."

"So, do you regret it?" Conan looked at the people around him, "I regret saving him."

"Hey, I'll say Kudo." Hattori Heiji frowned, obviously not expecting that he would say such things.

Chen Xing's eyelids drooped, "Indeed."

Hattori Heiji was stunned, "What are you talking about?"

Conan's eyes sank.

Chen Xing calmly said, "But if he doesn't save him, the future of the female writer will be ruined."

Yes, it's not worth it in comparison, because of the life of an annoying old guy.

Conan was silent for a moment, "You have discovered who the prisoner was in the dark, but have not exposed her. Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if you didn't keep an eye on her, or if she did the murder mechanism in advance and didn't have to do it yourself?"

He looked up at Chen Xing, his eyes rarely sharp, "It would cause someone to die because of a concealment."

Hattori Heitikanji: "Kudo, what are you doing? It's not so exaggerating."

"No one can really control everything." Conan's tone was gentle, but he was so serious. "A single negligence could lead to a big mistake."

"so?"

"It may be a good idea to confess in time and seek help from your companions," Conan said.

"Yes, we are the Iron Triangle." Hattori Heiji was clamoring.

Chen Xing lowered his head and looked at Conan. The little man's eyes were firm, but there was a temptation in his eyes.

The night behind the snow was very cold, and the breath I exhaled could be seen clearly, and it took a long time to dissipate.

Chen Xing did not respond.

What Conan could see was that when he turned his head and looked at the falling snowflakes, the warm light reflected by the lights, and the cold face seemed to be indescribable melancholy.
