Chapter 0189 The sweat of the classmates
July 26, Saturday, evening, Benkei Hot Spring Hotel. "Ke*le*le*love*show*show*show*show*show()"
In the bathroom on the first floor, Maori was putting his head under the faucet. At the cold water, Yamazaki and Conan stood by and looked at and thought about what Maori just said. The meaning of Maori's words was that he already knew who the murderer was, but there was still a key point that he couldn't figure it out and no evidence was found.
After a while, Maori turned off the faucet, wiped his face with his hand, straightened his body, looked at Yamazaki from the mirror and asked, "What do you have any opinions?"
Yamazaki asked, "Uncle, you already have a goal. Are you Uncle Zhongdao and Shi?"
"Yes," Maori asked, "You thought of it too, didn't you?" Then, "It seems that Yumi was obviously killed by him. Then, among my classmates, only he, a professional detective, can be arranged by me." He said with a punch, hit the wall, and then said angrily, "How could there be such a ghost in this world? That is to say, at around five o'clock, Yumi was still alive. At half past six o'clock, he was shot and killed by him with the cover of the sound of the fireworks conference, and was arranged into a perfect suicide scene." Then he said angrily, "Damn it, I just can't figure out what kind of trap he set up, changed Yumi's death time, and created a proof of absence."
"I know a little about this," Yamazaki said.
"Hmm?" Maori immediately turned around and asked expectantly, "Then tell me quickly, what is it?"
Yamazaki asked back, "I don't know what uncle knows about Musashi Benkei?"
Benkei Conan thought for a moment and immediately laughed, so that's it.
"Musashi Benkei?" Maori thought for a while and asked, "What is the connection with him?"
Yamazaki smiled and said, "There is a statue of Musashi Benkei in this Benkei Hot Spring Hotel. He was shot in many arrows and died in a fierce battle."
Maori asked, "What's the problem?"
"Uncle Maori," Conan laughed, "Benkei was standing on the Benkei statue. The hotel owner said that Benkei was different from others, and he died on the end."
"Stand up? Ah, by the way." Maori said to himself, "I remember when I was in the police school before..." and then smiled, "Very good, let's go and see if Medako has any good news." Then he strided away.
"That," Conan asked Yamazaki in a low voice, "Do you have any evidence?"
"No." Yamazaki shook his head and said.
Conan said helplessly: "Sure."
Outside room 201, seeing Maori and the others coming, Nakado Kazushi smiled and said, "Maori and Yamazaki are here, Midako, you can tell me now." It turned out that Midako saw that Yamazaki was not there just now, so she refused to tell them where the set of Yumi's underwear in her hand was found.
Handing the set of underwear wrapped in plastic cloth to Maori, Medeko smiled and said, "I found this in a dry cleaning machine in the laundry room. The plastic cloth I took from the laundry room."
Conan walked to Maori and wanted to reach out to Maori's underwear, but Lan immediately caught him.
Lan scolded, "Conan, this is not what you should touch." Then he brought Conan to the side and controlled it.
Looking at the underwear inside the plastic cloth, Maori asked, "Mideko, have you asked the waiter? Which bathtub did you take it from?"
"I've gone to the kitchen to ask all the staff at this hot spring hotel," said Medeko. "They said that at this hot spring hotel, at around 6:50 pm, people will send people to the specific baskets of each bath, collect the notes with names or room numbers, and need to send dry cleaning clothes and then use them for dry cleaning. But today, only us, and they have been helping in the kitchen, so this work has not been done yet."
Jungdo Kazushi asked strangely: "Meidiko, did you just say that all the staff in this hot spring hotel have gone to the kitchen and are still busy?" Then he asked back, "Aren't we the only ones here today? Is the kitchen so busy?"
"Ha," Yuanzi couldn't help laughing, "The staff here are so busy today. They should be busy in the kitchen until now."
Yoshio Ayagi said, "By the way, I just saw the boss alone there in the hall."
"Yes." Ayano Kiko asked curiously: "Why is this happening?"
"I placed a big order," Meidaizi smiled, "they are all busy with this."
Jungdo Kazushi asked, "What did you order?"
Meidaizi smiled and said, "It's just a live chicken." Then she counted her fingers and said, "There are eight staff members in this hotel who go to the back mountain to harvest springs, then settle and filter them. Then boil water and slaughter them. After cleaning, add the washed mushrooms and wild vegetables to the pot to steam them. According to their number of people and the number of stoves here," she thought about it and smiled, "Well, I think I can have a midnight snack at around twelve o'clock."
Zhongdao and Zhi couldn't help asking, "How many live chickens have you ordered?"
"There are nearly a hundred." Meidaizi smiled, "Twenty of them are enough for so many of us to eat."
"..." The couple, Jun Omura and Kazushi Kazushi were speechless together.
Maori, who had been looking at the underwear for a long time, had not found any problems, said, "Okay, Midako, let's talk about the midnight snack later." Then he asked, "Do you have any other discoveries?" He said, and handed the plastic cloth and the underwear inside to Ayagi Kiko, signaling her to hold it directly in her hand and help her take it.
"I checked the work records of the laundry room, and there was no record of this set of underwear at all." Meidaizi said, "That is to say, it was someone else who put it in private. He should have wanted the staff to wash them together, and this person should be the murderer."
"Murderer?" He took out his underwear from the plastic cloth and looked carefully. Ayano Kiko asked, "It seems that there is no mark on it? Why did the murderer use it to dry clean?"
Yoshio Ayagi pointed to his underwear and asked, "These underwear seems to be wet, right?" As he said that, he wanted to reach out to touch it.
"Bang!" Ayama Kiko slapped Ayama Yotsuo's hand away and said angrily, "This is not what you men should touch."
"By the way, that's it," said Meidaiko, "they are wet." Then she smiled, "I said I seemed to have forgotten something, it turned out to be this. This is not my fault. It must be because I was interrupted by Uncle Zhongdao just now."
Jungdo Kazushi twitched the corners of his mouth and said dryly, "That's mine."
"I also see that they are wet," Maori said angrily, "It must be the reason you took it out before you washed it."
"No, Uncle Maori." said Medako, "In order to earn labor costs, the boss here cannot start the dry cleaning machine without the staff starting it. When I took it out, the underwear was wet..."
"If you say so, this set of underwear will be wet when you put it in." Maori said, then looking at Ayama Kiko and asked, "So, please help me see if it is water or sweat?"
"Sweat, it's sweat," Medeko said quickly, and then explained, "When I turned on the dry cleaning machine and took them out, I smelled sweat. There was only this set of clothes in it, and they must have emitted it."
Kiko Ayagi walked to the side, carried everyone on her underwear, smelled it carefully, and said, "It does smell a lot of sweat."
"Sweat?" Maori thought for a while, and said to himself, "So that's how it is."
"Kogoro, what do you understand?" Jun Omura asked immediately, "Is there a clue about the murderer?"
Maori stared at Kazumaki Kazumaki and said, "Yes, and it's not just a clue. Now I finally understand what the trap set by the murderer is like." Then he asked, "Is this true, Kazumaki Kazumaki?"
Kazushi Nakado said, "Kogoro, I don't quite understand what you said."
"You should understand better than me," Maori said, then snapped, "You murderer who killed Yumi."
"What!" Aichi couple, Jun Omura, Ran and Yuanko shouted in surprise.
"Kogoro, stop kidding, what are you talking about? Are you not awake yet?" Kazushi Nakado said with a smile, "We infer the time of Yumi's death. At that time, I was obviously playing ball with you at the billiard court."
"So you have a perfect alibi," Muri said, "but the premise must be that Yumi actually died at 3pm."
"What are you talking nonsense?" Kazushi Nakado said angrily. "The appraisal work after Yumi's death was obviously done by me and you. At that time, Yumi's body did even her toes began to stiffen."
"That's why I think that Yumi's death must be about seven hours after death." Maori said, "But there is an exception, that is, sudden death occurs during intense exercise. At this time, proteins in the human muscles can easily solidify quickly, so the stiffness after death will be faster than usual. This is the same as when the I-life hero Musashi Benkei died, the reason for death standing is the same. It has been confirmed in medicine that it is entirely possible to die while standing."
"But the crime scene was Yumi's own room," Kazushi Nakado asked, "How about you tell me, what kind of exercise can I do there?"
