Conan: Silence in the Dark
Chapter 42
"Is this the place?" asked Kogoro, who came out of the taxi, as he looked at the towering floor in front of him that had turned on the lights.
"Yes, I saw it when Xiao Jing and I came back. You can't go wrong. Conan answered Kogoro's question.
Kogoro took Ran and Jing and Conan to the registration office.
"Excuse me, does this person live here?" asked Kogoro as he handed Akira Hirota's photo to the man at the front desk.
"This guest, we can't disclose the information of other guests. I'm so sorry, I'm sorry. The man looked at the photo and looked businesslike.
"Looks like he lives here, and he should know which room to be in. Xiao Jing said to Conan after observing the man's expression.
"But the front desk won't tell us. "
"Just look at it. "Xiao Jing told Conan to calm down and let Xiao Goro deal with it.
"I know you have a duty of confidentiality to your guests, but now a person's life is at stake. Here's my business card, my name is Kogoro Mori, and I'm now hunting down a murderer. The person in the photo is an important clue, please tell me immediately, and if you don't believe me, you can call the police immediately after telling me. Kogoro took out his business card and gave it to the man at the front desk and identified himself at the same time.
"Ah, I remember when you say that! You're the detective Mr. Mori Kogoro! It's disrespectful, since it's the case you're investigating, let me make an exception and tell you, this guest lives in 802. "It seems that Kogoro still has a high reputation in Tokyo.
"Thank you so much for your cooperation, Xiaolan, let's go. After a simple thank-you, Kogoro immediately ran to the elevator next to him and pressed the elevator.
"You see, that's the difference between an amateur and a professional. Jing sighed next to Conan.
"Hey, uncle's reputation is also with my help, okay?" Conan said immediately unconvinced.
"Anyway, a detective like you would only think of asking the average waiter if he had seen this man. Definitely not going to the front desk to ask directly, because you definitely can't ask something. "
"Don't ask the front desk to reduce unnecessary procedures, okay? The waiter is obviously more attentive to the characteristics of the guests than the front desk. "
"But this time there are pictures. "
"If you have a photo, you can find a waiter!".
"Hi Hi, you're right. Xiao Jing said to Conan in a comforting tone.
Why does it seem like it's my fault?" Conan thought unhappily.
At this time, the elevator also came down from above. When the door opened, a waitress pushing a trolley seemed to be startled by Kogoro and left the pressed suitcase, and the suitcase fell from the cart.
"Ahh
"Really, at this time. Kogoro leaned over to help the waiter carry three boxes of luggage onto the cart.
Wait, isn't this Miss Hexiang? The others didn't recognize it, but Xiao Jing, who had been trained by Xizi, immediately recognized it as the same person.
Although I don't know the purpose of her cross-dressing, I still put the transmitter on her during the insurance period. Xiao Jing thought about taking out the transmitter from her small satchel and planning to stick it on the waiter in Hexiang's disguise.
"We're leaving. At this time, Kogoro and Xiaolan had already entered the elevator, and Conan, who cared about the case, also pulled Xiao Jing in.
"Got it. As a result, Xiao Jing, who was pulled by Conan, put the transmitter on the suitcase.
Xiao Jing stood in the elevator and drove away Hexiang, thinking speechlessly, "Hexiang can't find this pot, Conan, you have to carry it!".
"This is it. Kogoro and his party got out of the elevator and found the room with the 802 door number hanging on it.
"Shhhh Kogoro made a silent gesture.
"Hello sir, here is room service. As he spoke, Kogoro knocked on the door, but there was no reply from inside.
"The door is not locked. Conan raised his hand and turned the doorknob to find it unlocked.
"It's weird. Excuse me!" Kogoro opened the door and walked in.
"The lights should be here. Xiaolan turned on the switch of the light on the side.
I saw a tall man named Hirota Ming leaning on the cabinet in the living room with blood from the corners of his mouth, and there were several empty aluminum alloy boxes next to him.
"This is the smell of potassium cyanate, could it be that he committed suicide because he couldn't stand the pressure of crime?" Kogoro picked up the beer can in Hirota's hand with a handkerchief and sniffed it from a distance.
"Probably not, this person doesn't seem to know that there is poison inside, and his expression looks unwilling. Xiao Jing leaned closer and said.
"Then if it's a painting of his killing, the murderer can only be another person in the room!" Kogoro analyzed after listening to Xiao Jing's words.
"Dad, you mean Miss Hexiang, how is that possible?" asked Xiaolan in disbelief.
"Anyway, call the police now. Kogoro put down his beer and picked up the phone on the nearby cabinet.
At this time, Xiao Jing followed Conan's line of sight and saw the watch that Hirota Akira was wearing.
"Sure enough, your transmitter is there, you go and get the transmitter back. Otherwise, it won't be easy for the police to come. Xiao Jing said to Conan, who was still intently scanning the scene.
"Ah, good. Conan was reminded by Xiao Jing before he thought that the transmitter needed to be recycled.
"Sister Xiaolan, I'm going to the toilet, I'm afraid" Xiao Jing left with Xiaolan in the name of going to the toilet.
"Hmm. Xiaolan may still be immersed in the stunned that Hexiang is the murderer, and she was a little depressed, but she still took Xiao Jing's hand and left.
Conan also took advantage of the time when they were away and Kogoro was on the phone to retrieve the transmitter on Hirota's watch, and Conan also noticed a flash of light in the head of the box next to him. Conan's mind quickly organized the intelligence and fell into deep thought.
"What? Mr. Hirota is single?" Kogoro called out in surprise after telling me about the incident and the case of Akira Hirota found here.
"And so it was. Sister, don't be sad. Xiao Jing, who came back from going to the toilet, heard Xiao Goro's words and turned to comfort Xiao Lan, who was depressed.
"Okay. Kogoro hung up the phone.
"Keibu said that Hirota was a native of Tokyo, and he was single. There are no daughters and brothers at all, and Hexiang and Akira Hirota should both be pseudonyms. Kogoro repeated the message he had heard from Mumoi.
"Aren't these boxes used to hold money?" Xiao Jing, who had comforted Xiaolan, noticed the aluminum alloy box at this time, walked to Conan's side and said.
By the way, it's used to hold money! Conan's clues and information in his mind quickly connected.
"What's wrong?, do you know the truth of the incident?" Xiao Jing asked curiously as she looked at Conan's expression.
"Mr. Hirota will be on the same route every night and evening, and there are these boxes plus Kana Aika and Hirota's two people. If I'm not mistaken, they are the prisoners of the recent 800 million yuan trio robbery incident, judging from the number of boxes in it, it contains the 800 million yuan that was robbed, and Hirota is practicing every day to escape. Both of them had to come to Mr. Hirota to see, and although the plan succeeded, Mr. Hirota betrayed them and fled with the money. After that, Hexiang and Hirota Akicai made up a story to find a detective to find Hirota Kenzo, and it should be this tall man who died who killed Kensan, and this man was also plotted by Hexiang. Conan reasoned himself and said to Xiao Jing.
"Sure enough, it's a detective, and I agree with your reasoning. After listening to Conan's reasoning, Xiao Jing determined that the murderer was indeed a woman who was pretending to be Hexiang. Eight hundred million, wait eight hundred million? Isn't the box she just pushed out of the box full of money?
"Conan, now that I think about it, the waitress just now is Hexiang, and her face and figure are completely in line with Hexiang's characteristics. Xiao Jing told Conan the information that the waiter was Hexiang.
"What! Maybe it's still too late!" Conan rushed out of the room as soon as he heard Jing's words.
"Conan, where are you going?" asked Xiaolan, who had recovered a little, as she watched Conan run out from the side.
"I've found Miss Hexiang!" Conan replied, looking back.
"What?" Xiaolan hurriedly chased Conan out of the room.
"Uh....... You're really fast. Xiao Jing looked at the door and muttered.
"Really, that little imp is running around again. Kogoro said a little angrily.
"Father, I'll go downstairs and talk to the staff of this hotel, and by the way, I'll wait for Uncle Mumu to come over. Xiao Jing didn't plan to stay in the room with the corpse for long.
"Well, okay, this isn't the place for you to stay, I'll just stay here. Kogoro also didn't want his daughter to stay at the scene of the crime where there was a body, and now that the murderer had been identified, he wasn't worried about Shizu's safety.
Xiao Jing walked out of the room and went to the first floor, but did not notify the hotel staff, but immediately found the toilet and entered. Xiao Jing observed whether there was anyone in the toilet and made sure that no one was in the toilet and entered a cubicle. Take out your phone in your small satchel.
"Hey, Mary, where are you now?" Jing immediately asked for Mary's location after dialing the phone.
"Hey, this is prologue, Mary is shopping. Shinichi's voice came from the microphone.
"It's dark velvet, can we not say the code name? Xiao Jing was a little helpless.
"The sound can be changed with a camouflage device, and it's you, Jing. After Xinyi determined the code, he did not call the code again according to Xiaojing's request.
"Forget it, it was my negligence. Where are you now?Is Shioko here?" Xiao Jing thought of Conan's voice change bow and readily admitted her mistake.
"Here at XX Mall on XXXX Street, Shioko and Mary are together. Do you have anything to do with us?".
"That's right, you guys come to the XXXX Hotel right away. I may have found 800 million here. Xiao Jing threw out the bait and let Shinichi and Mary and Shioko drive over first.
"Okay, I'll go and call Mary and Shioko-sama for about three minutes. "
"Well, after that you let Shiko answer the phone. "
"Okay. Xinyi replied simply.
"Hey, Xiao Jing is looking for something with me, we're out of the mall, you know Mary's driving skills. After a while, Xizi's voice was heard.
"Well, you guys should be on the safe side and come as soon as possible. I've just gotten news from the trio of 800 million robbers. Two of them are dead, and the remaining one is on the run. The stolen money has not yet been found, and I have found the approximate location of the stolen money here, and the transmitter on the box containing the stolen money shows that it is in my current building. The fugitive prisoner had just disguised himself as a waiter, and I speculated that the stolen money should be in the waitress's dressing room, or at the hotel's storage counter, or in the hotel's warehouse. Xiao Jing explained the general situation and said the location she had speculated.
"It's a bit big, but it shouldn't be a big problem. Xizi said confidently in his tone.
"The police have been called here because someone died, but the body on the eighth floor should not affect your search. But there's already someone chasing the last culprit, and I think it's only a matter of time before you get the box and get out before you get arrested. Xiao Jing still cautiously reminded.
"You're underestimating us, Jing. Shizi said in a didactic tone.
After a while, two women came in from outside, and Xiao Jing only recognized one of them as Mary and deduced that the other was Xizi, but there was no flaw in Xizi in terms of temperament or appearance. made Xiao Jing can't help but deepen her understanding of Xizi again, and it really makes Xiao Jing a little unbelievable that she can complete such a perfect cross-dress in such a short preparation time.
After a while, Mu Mu walked in with his subordinates.
"Uncle Mumu. Xiao Jing walked in and said hello to Mumu.
"Brother Maori, did you want to wait for us here?" Mumu touched Xiao Jing's head.
"Well, the scene is in 802, please come with me. Sister Xiaolan has gone to chase the murderer, and I believe she will come back soon. Xiao Jing said and walked towards the elevator with her eyes, and Yu Guang saw two women each pulling a suitcase and walking out the door. They had already walked out of the hotel when the elevator closed.
When Mumu led his subordinates to record the scene, Xiaolan called and said that the real murderer behind the scenes had been caught and informed the location.
Mu Mu asked his subordinates to deal with the affairs of the hotel, and he took a few of his subordinates and Kogoro to rush to Xiaolan.
Xiao Jing, who followed Kogoro, passed by a girl about ten years old when she walked out of the hotel, and Xiao Jing also held the transmitter that belonged to her.
Get. Xiao Jing silently recited a sentence in her heart and followed in Kogoro's footsteps.
