The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 626 Anxi Ema is gone too

"Nine times out of ten, it's inside."

Bai Masong said in a deep voice,

"Mr. Bando, you stay here for a while. I'll go over and take a look."

"Officer Baima, I'll go with you."

Han Dongying said immediately,

"I'm the leader of this trip. If anything goes wrong with Asuka and Ema, I'll be responsible."

Bai Basong glanced at Han Dongying, then nodded.

"also."

As he spoke, he pushed open the door leading to the courtyard.

Going out of this door is the courtyard of Kotoya Ryokan, and on the other side of the courtyard is the shrine of Kotoya Ryokan dedicated to the Kimono Sode God.

After opening the door, Hakuba Matsu and Han Dongyi were more certain that Anzai Ema was inside the shrine over there—

Because at this time, on the snowy ground where snowflakes were still accumulating, there was a trace of Anzai Ema's footprints walking towards that side!

note!

It's a footprint!

In other words, there are only footprints of Ema Anzai going to the shrine, but no footprints of the murderer going to the shrine and returning to the hotel!

Bai Masong thought so subconsciously when he saw the series of footprints.

It seems that the murderer is going to set up a secret room for him this time!

Thinking of this, Hakuba Song and Bando Kyoichi looked at each other, then quickly stepped on the snow and ran to the entrance of the shrine over there.

When he got here, Bai Masong pushed the door gently and found that it was not locked, so he pushed it open.

"call--"

Bai Masong sighed helplessly.

Han Dongyin's face was filled with frustration and despair.

At this time, in the center of the shrine, the silk sleeves of the kimono were spread out on the floor of the shrine, and Anzai Ema was lying on the layers of silk with a knife in the chest. It seemed that she was obviously not going to survive.

"Mr. Bando,"

Bai Ma Song said to Bandong Jingyi calmly,

"Let's go back first, gather everyone, protect the scene, and wait for the police to arrive."

"Ugh!"

Han Dongyin sighed with an unpleasant expression.

"That's all."

Afterwards, Hakubamatsu and Bando Tokyoichi returned to Kotoya Ryokan together, and gathered everyone together, asking them to stay in the living room to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to destroy the evidence.

Then, Bai Masong asked the proprietress for a dozen towels and called Sato Miwako to use the towels to protect the series of footprints left by Anzai Ema at the scene.

Since it is still snowing heavily, the footprints are likely to be covered by the snow, so you must cover them with a towel to prevent the footprints from disappearing.

After doing all this, Bai Masong and Sato Miwako returned to the living room to meet everyone, and then waited quietly for the arrival of the police.

.............................................

More than half an hour later, the police arrived at the Qinwu Hotel

However, it would be more accurate to say that he is just a policeman rather than a police officer.

"It's a great honor to be here and work with Inspector Hakuba of the Metropolitan Police Department!"

The policeman who came over saluted Bai Masong and said respectfully,

"I am a police officer from the Honmura Police Station, Ogura Saburo. I hope Officer Hakuba will give me your guidance."

"Um,"

Bai Masong looked at the person who came, nodded lightly, and then asked,

"Have you notified the county police?"

"I have already contacted them,"

Officer Ogura said loudly,

"However, they said it's still snowing heavily outside, and the snow is too deep. We probably won't be able to come until tomorrow morning!"

"Will you come over until daybreak?"

Han Dongying couldn't wait any longer.

"Is it really impossible to come here tonight? If we wait until daytime, a lot of evidence may be gone."

He wasn't really worried about the evidence. He was just worried that if he waited until daytime, if the police were slow to solve the case, he might have to bear more responsibility.

"There's nothing we can do about it,"

Miwako Sato spoke a few words on behalf of the county police.

"The current snowstorm is even more severe than it was at noon today. If we hadn't had the hotel to lead the way, we wouldn't have dared to come here. The officers from the county police headquarters did this for safety reasons."

"But......"

Han Dongying was still thinking about what to say.

But other people didn’t care about it, especially people like Harumi Fukatsu, who didn’t care at all.

Seeing this, Bai Ma Song said to Han Dongying,

"In that case, let's start investigating the scene."

Then he looked at Officer Ogura and asked him,

"Did you bring a camera?"

"There are some."

Officer Ogura quickly agreed, then took out a very old camera from his backpack.

Bai Masong took the camera and told everyone,

"Meiwako, Officer Ogura and I will go investigate the scene. Everyone else please go to the living room to take a rest and wait for our news."

"How about this, Mr. Bando?"

"No problem, no problem,"

Han Dongyin nodded repeatedly.

"Officer Baima, just do whatever you want. We will definitely cooperate."

"In that case, let's go to the Japanese living room and wait for a while."

Tokyoichi Hanazawa said to the others.

At this time, Akechi Eri suggested,

"Mr. Bando, why don't we just go to the reception room and wait. Our things are all there, and it will be convenient for us to continue discussing the script."

"Although Asuka and Ema met with an accident, our show cannot stop!"

These words really touched the heart of Tokyoichi Hanyo. This program was the key to his advancement and he must continue with it.

Therefore, based on the principle that it would be better to continue discussing the script issue, Hankyo Toichi agreed with Akechi Eri's statement.

"Okay, let's go back to the reception room and wait."

"It just so happens that my waist and legs are not in good condition, and sitting in a Japanese-style living room might be a little uncomfortable."

Yasuda Raiko also laughed.

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Bai Masong said to Sato Miwako and Ogura,

"Come on, let's investigate both crime scenes."

"Ah."

Miwako Sato and Officer Ogura nodded.

..................

The first place that Hakuba Matsu and the other two went to was, of course, the crime scene on Anzai Ema's side, which was relatively close, that is, the shrine enshrining the Kimono Sode God.

Because Anzai Ema's footprints had been covered with a towel, Bai Masong and the other two only needed to be careful not to touch the towel.

The three of them entered the shrine. At this time, the shrine still maintained the same appearance as when Hakubamatsu and Han Dongying arrived.

Anzai Ema was wearing a beautiful kimono, lying quietly in the middle of a crowd of gorgeous clothes and silks, with her hands clasped across her chest. Although we knew that she was subconsciously covering her wounds, but with the surrounding environment, there was a feeling of Japanese-style Xizi holding her heart.
