Chapter 613 Coincidences Are Everywhere
The police car parked on a platform below the hotel, where in addition to the police car, there were also passenger vehicles parked.
Afterwards, two police officers, a man and a woman, left the police car and walked toward the partygoers.
"So, it was one of you who called the police just now, right?" The first person was a very strange-looking male police officer, and he always gave Nobuhiro a familiar feeling.
And Conan had already called out his name first: "Police Officer Yamamura, it's you!"
Yamamura Cao looked down and suddenly laughed: "Conan, if you are here, that means Mr. Mori is also here?!"
"No, he's not here." Conan paused and said, "But my uncle's agent is here, Mr. Nobushige Asano."
With a swish, Yamamura Sou came up to Nobushige and stared at him for a long time: "This is the first time I heard that Mr. Mori has an agent, but if it is you, your reasoning level should be very good?"
"No, no, no, I'm just Mr. Mori's..."
"It's just an agent." Conan said the rest for him.
Xin Fan was speechless.
Nonsense, that's obviously not what he was going to say!
"Eh? Isn't this Mr. Asano?" the female police officer who was following Yamamura Cao suddenly called out.
Nobuhiro looked at her and immediately laughed: "Miss Liuye, what a coincidence."
That female police officer is Rokuha Yamada, who works at the Gunma Prefectural Police Headquarters. Nobuhiro didn't expect that she would go to the police with Yamamura Cao.
"Do you know each other?" Yamamura Cao was confused.
"Well, my mother and I are both students at the music classroom run by Mr. Asano." As he said that, Yamada Rokuha had already taken out his police manual and asked dutifully, "Then can you tell me about the discovery of the skeleton? "
"Skeletons found?!" Etsuko Nonomiya opened her mouth in shock, "When did this happen?"
"Huh? Didn't you call the police and report..."
"We discovered the skeletons," Nobutushige explained. "The tourists staying at the hotel didn't know it at the time."
Hearing this, Gogami Heihachi's expression suddenly became very bad.
Conan had some doubts about him, but his suspicions became even more intense when he saw this.
"Let's go to the scene first and take a look." Yamamura Cao said.
However, Yamada Rokuha suggested: "Why don't you invite everyone to come with us."
Yamamura Cao turned around and said, "No, it's already so late. Except for the first discoverer, all other tourists can go back to their rooms to sleep."
"But the murderer may be hidden among these people." Yamada Rokuha smiled.
"!! You, you, you, what are you talking nonsense about?" Yamamura Cao retorted in a panic, "I haven't seen the scene yet, maybe it was just an accident or suicide."
Yamada Rokuha raised Conan's mobile phone in his hand. There was a photo of the bones on it: "The bones are scattered in pieces, and there is lime around them. I'm afraid this is a murder, Officer Yamamura~"
Yamamura Cao suddenly felt horrified.
Sure enough, it is not suitable to go out at night!
In the end, Yamamura used the hotel's landline to make another call to the police headquarters, asking for reinforcements, and then they walked towards the back mountain together. Dr. Ali had to climb the mountain again, and this time there were more beads of sweat on his forehead.
Yamamura Soo asked while climbing the mountain: "So you initially suspect that the deceased is Kono Asao, and he disappeared near the hotel a year ago?"
"Yes." Nobushige replied, "But the specific situation may still require forensic analysis. It would be great if enough DNA could be extracted from the bones."
"Oh, DNA..." Yamamura rubbed his temples, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. Looking at the photos, the corpse is highly decomposed, with only bones left. The forensic department can only try to extract DNA from the bone marrow, which is very difficult. It’s possible to fail.”
Nobushige's cell phone vibrated in his pocket.
Nobushige patted his phone and signaled Hiroki to stay quiet. He knew that the DNA tracking system developed by Hiroki could help them quickly find the identity of the owner of the bones, but Nobushige felt that Hiroki might not be able to use it at all this time.
"Anyway, let's try it first." In contrast, Yamada Rokuha was more optimistic, "But judging from the decay of the corpse and the acceleration of lime, maybe this corpse really appeared here a year ago. "
Conan looked at Yamada Rokuha helplessly. He found that the people around Mr. Asano were not normal, and so was Miss Yamada. Putting aside her weird mother, it was this calm reaction of calculating the time of death that was very different. Conan still remembered Yamamura Soo's exaggerated look when he saw the body for the first time. That was probably a normal person's reaction.
Based on the information available to them, the police temporarily identified the deceased as Mao Kono. Then the four people who appeared in the hotel when Kono Asao disappeared a year ago are all suspected of committing the crime.
"When Kono Asao disappeared, were there any other guests in the hotel besides the four of you?" Yamamura asked.
"No more." Tian Tu Lingsi handed the passenger registration book to Yamamura Cao, "I have always had the habit of registering the names of guests. I can confirm that there were only me, Etsuko, Mr. Futagawa Hajime and Mr. Gogami Heihachi at that time."
Yamamura Cao stared at the names on the register with a headache: "Is there anyone here whose name can be spelled out with four long and two short cigarettes?"
While waiting for the police officers from the Forensic Division to arrive, the top priority should be to find a way to decipher the death message left by Kono Asao. Therefore, such a large group of people returned to the hotel the way they came.
Nobushige looked at the cigarette that Conan put on the handkerchief and fell into deep thought. As he thought about it, he murmured in his mouth: "Four long and two short, Nonomiya Etsuko, Futakawa Hajime, Tendo Reiji, Gogami Heihachi, these names are all... …Yu Shang, San Shang?”
In Japanese, the pronunciations of Gogami and Mikami are actually the same.
Just when Nobushige recited Gogami's pronunciation twice, Gogami Heihachi, who was always paying attention to them, suddenly looked towards him, with a more fierce look in his eyes.
"Then, please stay in your room tonight and don't come out. Our police will be responsible for solving this matter." Yamamura Cao said to everyone.
Yamada Rokuha seemed to inadvertently ask in a low voice with a volume just enough for everyone to hear: "Actually, this case is more like an accident. Maybe Kono Asao just accidentally fell down and was afraid that others would not know his identity. That’s why I deliberately left my ring behind. Or maybe even the stone that pressed on the ring was brought to that place by animals or other external forces later, and other scattered items have disappeared over time.”
Yamamura Cao shushed her and said, "Yeah, unless someone can figure out the meaning of the death information, we may really have to close the case by accident. But no matter what, the originally missing person was found. , it’s better than being missing all the time.”
Hearing what the police whispered, Gogami Heihachi became more determined in his thoughts.
