The next morning, Naoko’s body had been taken away by the police, and the police medical examiner confirmed that she had been killed within ten minutes before the group arrived at the shrine, so everyone identified the fleeing black shadow as the murderer. For this reason, the police sent people to search the mountain, and they carried pistols with them, because the prisoners were likely to be also armed.

For this kind of search, the detectives naturally could not intervene, and could only sit sullenly at the entrance of the shrine to bask in the sun.

Suddenly Ran ran out of the shrine and said to Kogoro, who had already sobered up: “Dad, someone just called the shrine, and Miss Junhui went to do the laundry, so I answered the phone.” ”

“And then?” Kogoro asked without any spirit.

Xiaolan recalled, “The other party said, ‘Thank you for selling me the arrow, it was really cost-effective to spend a million, and now my son’s operation has been a complete success.'” ’”

Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and Hua Qian was also surprised, someone in the shrine sold dugong arrows? Could it be that Junhui secretly made money from this kind of business? It shouldn’t be…

Hua Unknown raised his head and asked, “When is it?” ”

“He said it was sold to him the morning before yesterday when a man who claimed to work at the shrine sold him to his face. ”

Suddenly, he and Ye remembered something, “By the way, didn’t Miss Junhui say it before?” If a couple suddenly gave up their number plates on the morning of the festival, could they be the buyers? ”

Indeed, unless they have already obtained the Dugong Arrow, they are already here and cannot give up.

Hattori Heiji asked, “What is the name of the man who sold the arrow of the dugong?” ”

Xiaolan shook her head, “He said he didn’t know, he just remembered that the other party was full of stubble and was about fifty years old.” ”

As soon as they heard this description, a face appeared in everyone’s minds at the same time – Monwaki Benzo!

The festival had not yet started the morning before yesterday, and the only dugong arrows that could be sold were distributed in previous years, and Monwaki Benzo’s daughter, Saori, met this condition. Coupled with the fear that Saori lost the arrow of the dugong, it is likely that the arrow was taken by the father, after all, father and daughter are under the same roof, and it is easy to steal.

“Later, Benzo was lucky enough to win the number, just as the roster disappeared again, and the black shadow who escaped yesterday was the same size as Benzo… It’s hard not to suspect that drunk. Hana muttered, and Conan and Heiji nodded in agreement.

Thinking of this, everyone immediately went to the scene of yesterday’s mourning meeting, and after inquiring, after learning that his group went out yesterday, Benzo also ran out with him, it seems that the black shadow is that he no longer has to question.

“It’s kind of weird, though.” Conan pondered, “If Benzo killed for the Dugong’s arrow, then why wasn’t the Dugong arrow on her body taken away by Miss Naoko, who was killed yesterday?” ”

Heiji gave him a blank look, “Please, yesterday Wanshanghua’s unknown voice scared him to pull out his legs and run, how can he have time to search for the arrows on the deceased’s body!” ”

“Maybe…” Conan Wei no longer doubted.

……

Soon yesterday, the police officer also said to Kogoro in triumph: “The escaped suspect has been found in the mountains. Saying that, the two criminal policemen behind him escorted Menwaki Benzo forward.

Sure enough, the person who escaped yesterday, the police officer took out a book from his pocket and handed it to Junhui, “This is the roster of your shrine, and I found it on him, and now it is home.” ”

“Mr. Benzo, what else do you have to say?” Kogoro glared at him viciously.

“Huh… Anyway, no matter how I say that I am not a murderer, you will not believe it…” Benzo seemed to have seen it away, and his old face smiled.

Kogoro snorted coldly, grabbed the roster and flipped it over, “If you are not the murderer, why is the number plate of the deceased Miss Shoumi in your hands?” Why did you steal the roster? ”

Benzo explained helplessly: “Because I picked up that number plate in the river, I later learned that it was Shoumi’s thing. I was afraid that you would suspect me because of this, so I stole the roster. ”

Everyone still suspected him, but Hua knew that he was not a murderer, so she spoke for him: “I don’t think he is a murderer.” ”

Conan and Heiji looked at Hana in disbelief, “What are you talking about?” If he is not a murderer, then why should he…”

Without waiting for Heiji to finish speaking, Hua Zhi asked rhetorically: “Let me ask you, if you are a murderer, what is the first thing you have to do when you steal the roster?” ”

Conan was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed. Maori Kogoro heard it inexplicably, and asked confusedly: “Hey? What are you talking about? ”

Without speaking, Heiji walked over to Benzo and searched for his clothes, then a lighter. After finding this thing, Heiji turned around and said to Kogoro with a blank face: “Uncle, if Benzo is the murderer, then we can’t see the roster now.” ”

Explaining Kogoro in this way suddenly realized, because the real murderer would definitely destroy the evidence, and it was impossible to hide it on his body like this.

At the same time, the owner of the gift shop also testified for Benzo, “Benzo was with me at the time of the crime, although it was convenient for him to go anywhere halfway, but the time was short, and it was impossible to kill Shoumi and hang her to the waterfall.” ”

Benzo also said that he had picked up the number plate in the river when it was convenient for him, and Kogoro was still very suspicious of him, “But yesterday after you ran away, everyone found Naoko’s body, right?” Isn’t that so, detective boy. ”

Since Kogoro was drunk yesterday night, these were all heard from Xiaolan. Heiji nodded slightly, “That’s right, Mr. Benzo, after you escaped, we found a corpse in the corner, and the time of death was within ten minutes, so you are the most suspect.” ”

Benzo was a little dissatisfied, “I don’t know what corpses are, how can I see it when it was so dark, I still heard your shouts before running.” And didn’t you say within ten minutes? That is to say, in addition to me who escaped at that moment, others can also commit murder within nine minutes, right? ”

“But before the festival began, you sold a dugong arrow, and if that’s right, it originally belonged to your daughter Saori, right?”

Benzo nodded, “Yes, daddy lacks money, and taking his daughter’s things for relief is also a last resort.” As for Shoumei’s number plate, I picked it up and I have a clear conscience about it. ”

Everyone suddenly had nothing to say about this, after all, they were still suspicious until now, and there was no evidence at all.

……

Due to insufficient evidence, Monwaki Benzo was released.

Conan has been worried about the second case, that is, the body of General One, so he contacts Officer Twilight.

Soon after, Officer Twilight also sent someone over to extract the bullet in the skull of the general and compare it, and came to the answer: this time the bullet was the same model used in the Egg of Memory incident, leaving traces of the same silencer, and it can be concluded that the general was killed by Shi Kaobing.

The investigation reached an impasse……_
