Detective Conan: Twelve Death Warlocks

Shortly after Aco returned to Japan, he received news from Toru Amuro that he did not need to explain his identity to the Nagano Prefectural Police because he had already asked higher-level leaders to explain the development of the matter, and he only needed to continue to understand the truth behind it.

Just do some research.

However, a secret room murder case was staged in Room 348 of the Rice Flower Hotel. The facts of the case were actually very simple. That is, a friend who was in the suite of the same hotel room as the suspect was shot dead.

Mouri Kogoro and Conan were wandering on the road, so they rushed over after seeing them. The police had already prepared prevention and control measures at the scene. However, when Chiba Kazunobu saw Mouri Kogoro and Conan, he was more or less surprised:

"Mr. Mori, Conan. Why are you here?"

Mouri Kogoro smiled and scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Actually, when I was wandering here, I saw a police car, so I thought of coming over to take a look. Moreover, the Rice Krispies Hotel is considered a downtown area. If it weren't for a

If this is a big case, I’m afraid the police won’t rush here with much fanfare.”

Chiba Kazunobu was a little surprised, and then he seemed to give up: "Mr. Mori, you are right. In fact, an extremely bizarre shooting case occurred at the Rice Flower Hotel last night. The victim Yuki Mikuma was killed while resting in a cubicle.

, at that time, several other people outside were drunk and chatting there."

Mouri Kogoro nodded slightly, while Conan looked at the situation in the bedroom, which seemed a bit messy, but there was a photo of the victim hanging on the wall, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then looked at Chiba and Nobu: "Chiba

Officer Ye, I think the victim Mikuma Yuki must have stayed in this hotel for a long time!"

The waiter from the rice flower restaurant who came in to assist in the investigation nodded: "Little brother, you are right. Because Mr. Mikuma is a painter, he sometimes comes from Chiba Prefecture and lives here. Moreover,

For the sake of convenience, he simply rented it on an annual basis. To put it bluntly, judging from his rent in the past three years, Mr. Mixiong can definitely buy this room."

Conan immediately fell into deep thought, and Mouri Kogoro seemed to find this very suspicious, so he looked at Chiba Kazunobu: "If that's the case, I think it's not just Mikuma Yuki who usually lives alone. I hope the police can start from this

Start with one thing and check if there is anything wrong with his style."

"yes."

Conan always felt that something was wrong in the room, so he looked at Chiba and Nobu: "Officer Chiba, I want to ask, when you just entered the room, did you feel anything was wrong?"

"Is something wrong?" Chiba and Nobu thought carefully.

Mouri Kogoro picked up Conan like a chicken: "When adults are handling cases, why do children get in the way?"

"Actually, in fact there is. Because when we first entered the room, we found the body of the victim Mikuma Yuki in the inner room. Moreover, the victim was not lying on his bed at that time, but lying on his back.

He was dead on the ground, but an on-site inspection found that the victim had no injuries except for some scratches on his face.

"There was a cigarette in his left hand and a thousand dollars in cash in his wallet. There was no sign of a fight in the room. Because there was no air conditioning and the room was a closed space, in such a cloudy and hot and humid weather, the whole room was like a

It was like a steam oven, and there were various signs that the victim probably had health problems and died of natural causes."

Conan's expression was slightly solemn. Obviously, there must be something else to overturn this conclusion. Otherwise, the police would have closed the case in this way.

"Then why do the police continue to investigate this case?"

Chiba Kazunobu frowned a little, seeming to think that the matter was a bit serious: "Mr. Maori, in fact, after the forensic autopsy, it was found that in addition to the scratches on his face, there were very strange scars on his inner thighs. After the autopsy, there were even more strange scars on his inner thighs. It was found that the victim had very serious internal injuries, and his internal organs were almost mutilated. Although the specific cause of death could not be determined, the medical examiner believed that the victim definitely died of murder."

Hearing this conclusion, Conan was shocked, and then his expression became a little emotional. If this was the case, it would probably be an extremely dangerous situation.

After the police saw the forensic report, they were puzzled. Moreover, the room of the victim Mikuma Yuki was completely a secret room and there were no traces of a fight. Under such circumstances, what kind of tactics did the murderer use to cause a person to be neither How could there be such serious internal injuries despite the slightest external injury?

"Police Officer Chiba, we investigated the living conditions around the victim and found nothing unnecessary. He did a perfect job both at work and at home. Although he was not very sociable, he never had any grudges with others. He usually went off work The greatest pleasure was to go back to the hotel room and lie down and watch TV. The hotel's surveillance also showed that the victim never brought women back to the room and never came to the bar downstairs in the hotel. Therefore, it is basically ruled out that he had conflicts with other people because of women or drinking. possibility.”

"Okay, I understand. Sorry to trouble you."

After the police officer left, Conan fell into deep thought again, thinking, how did this happen? This is too bizarre! How could there be no trace at all?

After walking out of the room, Conan immediately stopped an inquiring police officer and asked: "Uncle policeman, have you asked the surrounding residents if anything else happened here last night?"

"Something else?"

The hotel waiter who was assisting in the investigation was also waiting outside at the moment, and then he said "Oh" and smiled slightly at Conan: "Little brother, if something happened, I know it. Because last night, the hotel had an electric load. , causing a brief power outage."

"Power outage?" Conan was a little surprised, but then asked, "Besides, can anyone else enter the hotel's power control room?"

"I think this should be impossible! After all, if you want to go to the power control room, you need to contact the electrician on duty. However, because the electrician in charge and another colleague went out to purchase electrical appliances at that time, the hotel was stopped for half of the time. It took several hours for the store to restore power supply.”

Conan immediately fell into deep thought. If this was the case, it would be impossible for someone inside the hotel to commit the crime. However, for the sake of safety, Conan still asked: "What about the backup key?"

"Well..." The man thought for a while and seemed a little helpless!
