Outside the bathroom, after Gao Cheng cleaned Conan's nosebleed on his clothes, Nagano County police also arrived at the scene, led by an old acquaintance.
Conan was able to snuff at the scene of the murder. He even dropped several drops on the bathroom floor. Fortunately, they didn't splash on the body. Otherwise, he would have to go to great lengths to explain to the forensic staff.
Gao Cheng looks at the Shangyuan Youyi outside the bathroom.
Bo Gu, who was responsible for cleaning the bathroom at the time of the murder, was hit on the back of his head with a blunt instrument. However, the cause of his death was drowning. He should have been knocked unconscious and sank in the bath with a dumbbell on his body.
"Every year before you come here, you will do a good job in the division of labor," feng'an Zhumei sobbed. "Bo Gu cleans the toilet and bathroom, I'm responsible for everyone's food, Cheng Xiang cleans the room and corridor, and Ren Tian is mainly responsible for going out for shopping, because the nearest shop is about a mile away..."
"Is that so?" Yuki Uehara confirmed to others.
"Yes, if I finish my work, I will help others too..."
"Who saw Mr. Bogu last?"
"After lunch, I met him in the living room," Feng an Zhumei said. "He said he was going to clean the toilet and bathroom, and then he didn't know..."
"I went to the bathroom after I cleaned the room upstairs," Cheng Xiang continued. "He wasn't in at that time..."
Uehara's attention turned to Cheng Xiang: "have you seen it?"
Cheng Xiang nodded and said, "yes, because there is hot air coming out of the bathroom, I thought he helped put the bath water in place."
"We are also together," Xiaolan and Yuanzi said hastily. "We also opened the lid and tried the water temperature. At that time, there were no tomatoes. Later, after cleaning with Miss Chengxiang and preparing to take a bath, Miss Chengxiang found that there were slowly floating tomatoes in the bath..."
On the side, Conan has stopped the nosebleed after washing it with cold water. He used the old method before Gao Cheng and patted his back neck with his wet palm. The effect was very good.
"I'm sorry, Chenghu," he apologized to Gao Cheng with two stuffy noses. "What do you think of this case?"
"If you are talking about prisoners," Gao Chengkan said to the young people who were questioned, "I already know who it is."
"I'm not quite... Eh?" Conan opened his eyes and looked back at Gao Cheng. "Why?"
"The bath water in the bathroom specially uses green bath salt, and the corpse is pressed under it, which is hard to be found. Then there is the red tomato which seems to be unnecessary..."
Gao Cheng observed quietly.
"From the analysis of criminal behavior, there must be some reasons behind the layout of the murderer, either to disturb the investigation, or... The technique needs."
"Do you know what it is?"
"Did you hear that just now?"
Gao Cheng's attention falls on Cheng Xiang, a woman with long hair.
"Miss Chengxiang was the first one to enter the bathroom. Although she only wrapped a bath towel, as long as there was such a time difference, it was more possible. There was no need to consider any technique. It might be suspicious, and then we could find the problem.
"Take Xiaolan through the bathroom and ask them to open the lid of the bath to test the water temperature. It's just certain that there were no tomatoes in the bath at that time. When they go back to the bathroom after cleaning, they are the first to enter the bathroom and find tomatoes. Don't you think it's a coincidence?
"And the red apples, red roses, red paint that used to be pranks before... It was just to strengthen the hint at the beginning. When you see the red tomatoes in the bath, it's easy to think of the red girl."
"It's really strange." Conan scratched his head in chagrin.
Hell, his mind is full of Xiaolan, and his thinking is not clear.
"However, the problem is still here. She was only wrapped in a bath towel at that time, and it was difficult to hide so many tomatoes in the bathroom without being found. Moreover, even if she hid them, it was impossible to put them all in the bath at once, and the time difference was not enough..."
"What if you were hiding in the water in the first place?" Gao Cheng interrupted, "anyway, the green bath water can't be seen below."
"Ah?"
"In a word," Yuki Uehara asked about the situation and concluded, "it should be able to confirm that the murderer committed the crime in the period from Xiaolan, when you went to the bathroom to test the water temperature, to the time when you were ready to take a bath after cleaning. Can you tell me about your situation at that time?"
"Ah, OK," said Ren Tianleng, a square faced man, "I went shopping. I also took the detective to the villa nearby. The shop is about one kilometer away from here. It took me about thirty minutes to go back and forth..."
"The villa nearby," Yuyi shehara looked at Gao Cheng, "isn't it the villa where the murder happened 15 years ago?"
"Yes, because it happened to talk about the red girl..." the square faced man said with fear, "will Bo Gu be killed by the red girl? Break the windows of the villa, throw a lot of apples in, put a lot of red rose petals in the water tank of the water heater to block the water outlet
And the red paint on the door, these things must be the ghost of that red girl! It's no surprise that the murderer did anything
"It's impossible," Yuki Uehara said, shaking his head. "Yue Yeju, the murderer known as Chinu, has been confirmed dead."“ What? " The square faced men were surprised to see that they were not joking“ But the previous news special said she was on the run Uehara paused, looked at the crowd and said seriously, "you all know that three years after the case happened, that is, 12 years ago, a girl's body was found in this forest swamp, right?"“ I know! It's Congzi! It's our classmate“ In fact, another corpse that had been dead for three years and turned into a white bone was found in the swamp. Because there was a murder weapon used in the case on the bank, it was thought that it might be YUEYE's body at that time. However, YUEYE set fire to her home before committing the crime, and her personal belongings could not be found, so she could not do DNA identification for a long time, It's only now that her mother, who died last week, has kept the umbilical cord, which is exactly the same as the result of DNA identification of the white bone. " Yuki Uehara's way“ In the past, her mother refused to cooperate with the investigation and concealed the umbilical cord. That's why it's delayed until now. Originally, it was planned to be announced to the media tomorrow. In order to deal with this hot incident, the police of Nagano county were also in a mess. "“ Hello, Hello, "the long haired girl said in more panic," you must not say it was made by the dead of the red girl! "“ Yes, if the opponent is a ghost, things will be in trouble, right? "“ Calm down first, "Yuki Uehara said with a bitter smile." let's make a careful investigation in this villa. Before that, could you please stay in your rooms and wait? Besides, there are experts here. There's no need to worry about ghosts... "What experts?" All the three were driven back to their rooms to wait for investigation. By this time, it was already getting dark outside. The wind was even louder and it seemed that it was going to rain“ Hate, "the garden looked out through the window and said," it's going to rain. The wind is whining. It feels like red girl is coming out, right, Xiaolan? "“ Don't say that, Yuan Zi, "Xiao Lan said with a forced smile, sweating," the red girls are dead... "" that's why she said to come out, ghost. " The garden looks at the forest against the window“ Ah! It seems that I saw a woman with long hair outside just now. "“ Really, "Xiaolan smile more rigid, toward the garden anxious protest way," you again nonsense words I angry ah! "“ And then what? " Shiliang Zhenchun squints her eyes and smiles at Gao Cheng and Conan. "What do you find? I saw you whispering just now. You must have found something, right? " Gao Cheng follows the garden and looks out the window, but finds nothing“ There are still some doubts
