About ten minutes later, a tall, dark-skinned man also arrived at the hotel.

“Sorry, I’m late because I went to worship my parents.” Nobuji apologizes to Arden and Yuta, who have arrived.

Yuta smiled, “It’s okay, after all, Aramaki hasn’t come yet, maybe he won’t come.” ”

Hanami listened to their conversation while drinking orange juice through a straw, as did Conan, and it seemed that Conan should have sensed something was wrong.

It was nearly half past nine, and Aramaki still hadn’t come, and several people thought that he shouldn’t be coming, so they decided to go home and sleep. Just then Conan cried out, “Naw! Since the uncle named Aramaki didn’t come over, let’s just go find him, right? ”

Xiao Lan immediately stopped, “How can this work, Conan, you should go to sleep.” ”

“But I’m not sleepy! Go for it! Go for it! ”

Conan was coquettish like a child, causing Ayumi to snicker, “Conan, you really look like a child.” ”

Sonoko interjected wordlessly, “He was originally a child, right? And you’re kids, too…”

Several patrolmen looked at each other, feeling that it was indeed a little unpleasant to wait so long without seeing anyone, so they decided to go directly to him as Conan wanted.

“But how do we know where the Aramurai is?” The last letter to arrive is inquired.

Hua Wei put down the cup and said lightly: “It is estimated that it is on the beach, didn’t we hear the sound of the waves on the phone just now?” Just walk along the coast and maybe you’ll see him chilling…”

So the group left the hotel, looking for a future appointment, since Conan insisted on going, Xiaolan and they could only follow.

Sure enough, soon everyone found the barren scroll on the beach, but it was a corpse that was already cold…

……

The deceased, Yoshitsune Aramaki, 51 years old, was a professional fisherman. He had agreed with Ardennes, Yuta, and Shinji to meet at the Queen’s Hotel at eight o’clock this evening, but the deceased did not arrive as promised, so the crowd went out to look for him at about nine-thirty, and found his body on the beach.

And the strange thing is that the deceased is wrapped in a fishing net, like a captured mermaid, which is confusing.

“Am I not wrong?” The officer recounted the incident and asked the crowd.

The officer’s name is Yokomizo Samgo, Ayumi Conan seems to be familiar to them, and Hana has also seen him. I remember that the last time we met was also in this vicinity, there was a gangster who specifically attacked the woman with dyed hair, because of his own intervention, the case is still unsolved…

As for Hana, the reason why he is impressed is his name, because this guy’s name is Sango, and his hair also looks like a coral (Sango). Although it looks funny, it is at least ten times stronger than the mountain village police officer.

The three patrolmen nodded again and again when they heard his words, and asked nervously: “Is there a problem?” ”

Officer Henggou said with a dark face: “I heard that you local fishermen have a very bad relationship with the deceased, so I wonder if it was you who made an appointment with the deceased to meet here, drowned him in the sea, and then pretended to find the body…”

“This is simply your imagination!” The three immediately retorted.

“It’s my imagination, but it can happen!” The Henggou police turned back to Xiaolan and asked, “Miss Xiaolan, do you remember the time they arrived at the hotel?” ”

Xiaolan was recalling, and Hua answered for him: “Arden arrived at 7:10, Yuta arrived at 8 o’clock, and Xinji arrived at 8:10. ”

Officer Henggou originally thought that several people needed to discuss to have a result, but he didn’t expect that Hua Zhi actually reported it casually, and couldn’t help but stare at him in surprise, “Why do you remember so clearly?” ”

Hua Wei snorted lightly, “Do I have a good memory?” ”

“Uh… All right. Officer Yokogou seemed to be a little convinced, so he asked Conan, who knew that the children who were often around Mr. Maori were very talented detectives.

Conan replied the same: “It’s the same as what Hana said.” ”

While the police were still questioning the others, Hua Wei and Conan ran to the body for observation, and the deceased’s eyes widened as if he was dying in great pain. Just after looking at the deceased from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, Officer Henggou also shouted: “Hey! What are you two kids doing? ”

The officer’s hand stretched out, and Hua Zhi leaned over and easily dodged, and Conan was caught by a volley after moving slowly for half a beat. Caught in the hands of Officer Henggou, Conan shouted anxiously: “Ah! Officer Henggou, look quickly, the body of the deceased is not right! ”

“Something is wrong? What’s wrong? ”

Although puzzled, Officer Henggou still squatted down and took a closer look, “Huh? This is…” After discovering something suspicious, he subconsciously let go of his hand, and Conan immediately escaped.

“That’s right, right? The deceased was obviously drowned by water, why was his body scarred? Conan asked tentatively.

“This is probably a trace left by fighting the murderer.” Officer Henggou speculated.

After the scene was investigated, the police officer could not find any clues, so the Henggou police officer ordered that the body of the deceased be transported back to the police station for judicial autopsy. Hearing the police officer say this, Yuta tentatively asked, “Mr. Police, we can go back, we still have something to do tomorrow.” ”

Officer Henggou naturally did not allow it, “No, I still have to ask you.” ”

“Hey! Are you doubting us? The swarthy Shinji looked unhappy.

“Didn’t I say that? The three of us were indeed waiting for him at the agreed place. Ardennes also tried desperately to explain.

But in any case, Officer Henggou did not believe it, “Why did you go to the beach to look for the deceased because he did not come?” It’s like knowing he’s here beforehand…”

At the same time, Hua Zhi interjected and said: “It’s because of the phone, Officer Coral.” ”

“Phone?” Officer Henggou thought that Hana didn’t call Sango by his name, so he was not angry.

Hua Unknown told the story of hearing the sound of the waves when the phone was picked up, and Officer Henggou was taken aback and immediately asked someone to check the deceased’s mobile phone.

Arden couldn’t wait to interject and ask, “How?” Have my number? I called after Yuta. ”

Sure enough, there were two missed calls and one received call in the call record, and Arden called twice, the first time at 7:47 and the second at 8 o’clock sharp; Yuta also called, but it was missed at 7:02.

“How?” Ardennes was unhappy that he was being suspicious: “I called him in the hotel at eight o’clock and the phone answered. Either Uncle Aramaki was still alive at that time, or he was already dead at that time, and the phone was answered by the murderer. So you know that Yuta and I are not murderers, right? ”

Officer Henggou was silent for a moment, and this was indeed the case, “However, you two have an alibi, and this young man named Shinji does not!” Because he arrived at the hotel at 8:10. ”

“Hey, I went to the temple to burn incense for my dead parents, and then I talked to the abbot for a while, and I didn’t go out until 8 o’clock. It takes 10 minutes from the temple to the hotel, and if I take a detour, I won’t be able to get to the hotel at 8:20! Shinji also defended himself.

Officer Henggou did not believe it, and immediately asked someone to run to the temple to inquire and confirm that Xinji was not lying.

In this way, it seems that none of the three are suspected of committing crimes…

But is that really the case? Hana Ming pondered with his chin, the murderer should be Arden, because the murderous aura on his body suddenly disappeared at eight o’clock, and he definitely knew that Aramaki was dead. But the question is what happened to the calls later? It seems that something happened along the way that even the murderer did not expect……_
