PNB Chapter 120
Chapter 120
"Conan - we have to go back -"
Ran Mouri knocked on the bathroom door and urged Conan Edogawa who had been inside for a while.
"Okay - I'll be out soon!" Edogawa Conan said, lowering his head to the phone and said, "Anyway, that's it for now. If you find anything later, call me. Bye."
Before Hattori Heiji could say anything else, the person on the other end hung up the phone. He looked at the black screen of the phone speechlessly, exhaled, and put the phone away.
The investigation of the case seemed to be more difficult than they had imagined.
The deceased was one of the employees of the hotel. He was usually responsible for cleaning the rooms and helping out in the kitchen when the hotel was busy. This time, he went to the storage room alone because he was helping an old lady in the hotel move things.
Hattori Heiji looked through the surveillance records and found that the last time the deceased appeared in the surveillance was when he entered the storage room.
And that was only half an hour after the body was discovered.
The body was destroyed to that extent in such a short time that it would be difficult to dispose of the evidence afterwards, and even if it was disposed of, it would be impossible to leave no trace at all.
Hattori Heiji recalled the body that was stabbed into the floor by three samurai swords. He frowned, turned off the surveillance and walked towards the room where the crime occurred.
However, there is no evidence among the traces found so far that can clearly point to the identity of the murderer.
Turning the corner of the corridor, Hattori Heiji saw two policemen standing at the door of the room where the incident occurred with serious expressions. He looked around and did not see the mixed-race boy.
After Edogawa talked to him on the phone and learned about the current situation, he didn't seem very surprised. Instead, he felt a little bit "Oh, I see". It seemed that this was not the first time that the mixed-race boy was treated as a criminal suspect. However, he still asked Hattori Heiji to pay attention to it.
"Where is the mixed-race kid who was with you?" Hattori Heiji asked casually since Kudo had asked him to do so.
It seemed that Kenji Hagiwara had just noticed his arrival. The man with semi-long hair curved his iris-purple eyes, put away his serious expression and said, "Xiao Mei may have returned to her room."
He did not mention any other considerations, but simply stated the tall and thin police officer's request, then changed the subject and proposed exchanging some of their respective discoveries.
……
Zhu Fu Jingguang parked the car steadily in a parking space near the safe house. He raised his hand to take the key, but found that the person sitting in the passenger seat did not move.
With a hint of doubt, the man with cat eyes looked over and found that Rickard was no longer sitting as straight as before. The shaking of the car body on the road caused him to lean to one side, and the book in his hand had long been loosened.
Fell asleep?
Ricardo has been very busy lately. As a Scotsman, he certainly knows that his boss is often working around the clock. However, no matter how he inquires, he can only get some ambiguous jokes, which always makes him have no real sense of how busy Ricardo is.
"Riccardo, we're here." Zhu Fu Jingguang said, suppressing his thoughts.
The man leaning back opened his eyes, his light gray-blue eyes were clear. He threw the business magazine on his lap that 079 was using as a distraction to Scotland, then opened the car door and got up to leave.
Xing Haiyin was still carrying her handbag when she got off the plane, but she accidentally got it dirty when dealing with Valentine, and since she had to destroy the evidence, she had no choice but to get rid of it.
What a pity, he really liked that bag.
It is practical after all.
"Let's go." Xing Haiyin put his hands in his coat pockets. It was especially cold when the snow melted. On the way back, he asked Scotland to go to the mall to buy the coat.
"Go meet Gin."
