Although we have talked to the three classmates of the victim, we have not obtained any direct clues.

The mystery of the secret room has not been solved, and the case has temporarily fallen into mystery.

However, everyone has also obtained an important piece of information.

——They have also come here in winter.

At that time, one of their club partners, Mr. Ue, died.

It seems that he was buried in the snow behind the wooden house next to their skiing activities.

There was about 2 meters of snow behind the wooden house at that time.

Ishikuri Saburo joked at the time, "With such a high snow pile, you won't die even if you jump from the second floor."

And their partner named Ue believed it and jumped from the second floor.

Since yesterday was Ue's birthday, they decided to get together to commemorate and celebrate his birthday.

The reason why Takanashi Noboru quarreled with Ishikuri Saburo before was also because of this matter.

——

Although no specific clues about the case were obtained from the three people, the revelation of this incident revealed the criminal's motive for murder.

The criminal should have killed Mr. Ishikuri in order to avenge Urayoshi.

While Officer Yokomizo and others were questioning, his subordinates did not stop. They had been looking for the spare key to the victim's room.

But the officers had already searched the villa, but still could not find it.

At the reminder of Maori Kogoro, the officers went to look for the garbage that had been thrown out before.

Conan lowered his head and carefully recalled the previous conversation between the three "suspects", trying to find useful clues.

After a while, Officer Yokomizo's subordinates returned to the restaurant.

They had already checked the garbage, but did not find the key in it.

To be on the safe side, they even checked everyone's tennis rackets, but did not find the key in the tennis rackets.

After hearing this news, even Conan showed a trace of worry.

At present, the only key that can open and lock Mr. Ishikuri's room is on him.

Before the police arrived, no one except him had approached Mr. Ishikuri's body, so it was impossible for him to take the opportunity to put the key into his pocket.

If the mystery of the locked room cannot be solved, it will be useless even if he knows the murderer's method now.

Just when Conan was at a loss, Officer Yokomizo's subordinate suddenly said: "By the way, there is a strange thing! According to the report of the forensic personnel, there are several places on the net line of the tennis racket placed under the body that are twisted."

"The net line is twisted? Why?" Officer Yokomizo frowned.

"This... By the way, after comparison, the shape of the copper vase with blood is exactly the same as the wound on the head of the corpse. And for some reason, the vase seems to contain some water."

Hearing this, Officer Yokomizo frowned even more.

This series of "unsolved mysteries" lingered in his mind, making him very bored.

Conan, who was standing aside, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this, as if he realized something.

Under the watchful eyes of Officer Yokomizo, his subordinates conveyed the time of death analyzed by the forensic personnel.

At this moment, Conan quietly called Tatsuno outside the house.

This scene happened to be seen by Amuro Toru.

"Takeda, I already know the criminal's method of committing the crime! As long as we find the spare key to that room, the case will be over!"

"As for the key, I know where it is." Tatsuno chuckled.

"What! Where is it?!"

"It's in the bottle of sports drink."

"Sports drink... That's it!!!"

After listening to Tatsuno's explanation, Conan clenched his fists in sudden realization.

The next second, Conan glanced at the restaurant and found Maori Kogoro sitting on the chair.

Seeing this, his mouth curled up, and he walked back to the restaurant while touching the watch on his wrist.

Just as Conan opened the watch cover and prepared to use the anesthetic needle to "solve the problem" as usual, Amuro Toru suddenly stuck his head over.

He took a close look at the watch cover and asked in confusion, "Hmm? Conan, what are you doing?"

"The watch cover seems to be broken! Ha, haha~"

In a hurry, Conan made up a few nonsense, then walked out of the restaurant with a dry laugh.

As Conan turned around, a trace of suspicion flashed in Amuro Toru's eyes.

If he was not mistaken, the watch cover of Conan's watch... is a scope? !

For a moment, Amuro Toru's brain was working rapidly.

'Suspicious watch cover', 'Sleeping Maori Kogoro', plus Conan seemed to talk to Takeda Tatsuno often...

There must be something wrong with this child!

On the other side, Conan walked back to Tatsuno and wiped the cold sweat on his head with his sleeve, "Tatsuno,Tian, ​​that Amuro Toru seems to have seen me using this thing! Speaking of which, I think that guy seems a little suspicious..."

Tatsuno looked at Conan helplessly, and then looked at the "figure" at the kitchen door, and didn't know what to say for a while.

You knew he was a little suspicious, but you still "attacked" Uncle Mori in front of him. In addition...

Just then, Amuro Toru suddenly walked behind Conan.

He glanced at Conan and Tatsuno, and chuckled: "Conan, why do you call your brother Tatsuno "Takeda" directly? Isn't it very rude to do so~"

Conan: "!!!"

After hearing this, Conan's hair stood up instantly.

He turned his head stiffly and looked at Amuro Toru behind him, just in time to meet Amuro Toru's slightly meaningful eyes, "I...that..."

Just when Conan was about to explain it carefully, Tatsuno chuckled: "Okay, Mr. Amuro, you should have known the criminal's method, right? Why don't we solve this case first~"

Toru Amuro glanced at Tatsuno, shrugged, and walked back to the restaurant.

Until Toru Amuro disappeared, Conan stared at his back in silence.

"It seems that Mr. Amuro seems to have noticed something... Isn't that right, Conan~"

Conan: "..."

After saying that, Tatsuno also walked back to the restaurant, leaving Conan standing there alone.

...

Inside the restaurant

After being reminded by Sonoko and Officer Yokomizo, Kogoro Maori seemed to understand the criminal's method.

The water in the vase... should have been ice!

Just pile up a lot of ice cubes on one side of the vase, and then place the vase in the corner of the bookshelf where it will almost fall off.

Wait until the ice cubes After melting, the vase will lose balance and fall off the bookshelf.

As for the bending of the tennis racket net under the victim, it is also because of the ice.

As long as the criminal puts ice under the racket, he can slide the racket and easily carry the victim's body to the door of the room.

Although ordinary ice will leave wet marks on the floor, it is enough to use the dry ice in the ice cream cake that the victim was eating before his death.

Since the composition of dry ice is carbon dioxide, it will not leave any traces after disappearing.

After understanding the criminal's method of committing the crime, Maori Kogoro supported his head with his hands and thought.

Not long after, Maori Kogoro chuckled and closed his eyes and said: "So that's it, I know who the criminal is!"
