Chapter 869: Conan was almost buried alive by the avalanche
Aoki Matsu greeted Professor Agasa and Mao Lilan, asking them to take care of Sayuri, and then went to the office of Kitanosawa Village with Aihara Yoji.
As for Nanatsuki Koshimizu and Ayumi Maruta, Aoki Matsu arranged for them to pretend to be a couple and wander around the village to see if they could find out some information.
When Conan saw Aoki Matsu and Aihara Yoji leaving, he quickly followed them secretly.
Although Conan often loses sight of the big picture when tracking people and gets beaten up, his tracking skills are still pretty good, and neither Aoki Matsu nor Aihara Yoji noticed him.
Arriving at the office of Kitanosawa Village, Aoki Matsu asked the staff for a map of Kitanosawa Village.
After hearing what Aoki Matsu said, the staff asked in confusion: "A map of Kitanosawa Village?"
Aoki Matsu nodded: "Well, please also give us a guidebook for the reservoir."
"I understand. Please wait for me for a moment." After hearing what Aoki Matsu said, the staff member turned around and left his seat.
At the same time, Aoki Matsu and Aihara Yoji heard a deep male voice next to them: "By the way, Yamao, I heard that the ski resort closed down."
Mr. Yamao responded, "Yes, I just heard that, it seems to be because of the constant avalanches."
"Sorry to have kept you waiting!" Just as Qingmu Song and the other man were listening to the conversation between the two people next to them, another voice interrupted their conversation.
Then a staff member held two maps in front of them and said, "This is a topographic map of Kitanozawa Lake, and this is a map of the old Kitanozawa Village at the same scale."
Mr. Yamao picked up the two maps and looked at them carefully with a serious expression.
A friend nearby explained with a smile: "Ah~ Because this guy insisted on knowing where in the reservoir the home where he grew up was sunk."
The staff member heard this without any doubt, "Is that so..."
The friend picked up his clothes and said to Mr. Yamao, "Okay, we should go..."
Having said that, he turned and walked out. Seeing this, Mr. Yamao next to him responded and walked out while looking at the map.
But at this moment, "Bang..."
Suddenly a crisp sound was heard, attracting everyone's attention, and then everyone saw a black, square box-like object falling to the ground.
Seeing this, my friend quickly stepped forward and picked it up, "Oh! Oh no, oh no!"
Seeing this, Qing Musong raised his eyebrows and said, "That's a stun gun, right?"
"You actually recognize this." The friend was a little surprised, and then explained: "This is for self-defense. I work as an insurance investigator in Tokyo and encounter many dangerous situations, so I am used to carrying it with me when I go out."
The man explained as he put the stun gun back into his pocket, then walked out without looking back.
Looking at the backs of the two people, Qing Musong narrowed his eyes.
Aihara Yoji also leaned over to Aoki Matsu's ear and whispered, "Inspector."
Aoki Matsu nodded to indicate that he understood.
The person called "Yamao" by his friends is Yamao Keisuke!
Originally, Aoki Matsu had no reaction when he saw this person's name and photo.
But when he saw Yamao Keisuke holding two maps, one new and one old, Aoki Matsu suddenly remembered.
It's not that someone is dissatisfied with Governor Asakura and wants to kill him, it's that Conan was almost buried alive because of an avalanche - the fifteenth theatrical version of "Fifteen Minutes of Silence"!
After recalling the plot of the case, Aoki Matsu instantly knew that the murderer was Mr. Yamao who had just left.
You can’t blame Aoki Matsu.
The most memorable part of this movie is that Conan almost died at the end. No one would remember the previous plot.
So much so that Aoki Matsu only recalled it now.
"Sorry, I kept you waiting..." Just then, the staff member who went to help them find the map came back. Then the staff member sat back on the stool and looked at the map in his hand and asked again: "Um, that's the map of Kitanozawa Village and the reservoir guide, right? Okay, here you go."
Upon hearing this, Qing Musong said, "Thank you for your trouble."
Afterwards, he walked out of the Kitanosawa Village Office and saw that Yamao Keisuke and his friends had already left.
Aoki Matsu, who had already recalled the case, was not in a hurry at all. Yamao Keisuke would not blow up the reservoir until the third day, so there was still time.
As for his friend who brought the stun gun, Aoki Matsu could only say that he was not a good person either, and wished him good luck.
In the evening, Aoki Matsu and others returned to the hotel and had dinner with Dr. Agasa and others.
After learning the lesson of going to the clinic for overeating in the afternoon, Yuan Tai didn’t eat too much at night. He just ate until he was barely full and then stopped eating.
Ayumi exclaimed: "The food here is so delicious!"
Upon hearing this, Mitsuhiko immediately agreed: "Yes."
"If there was eel rice, there would be nothing to complain about!" Yuantai expressed his opinion.
Sayuri said speechlessly: "Yuanta, you are not tired of eel rice yet!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tai immediately replied: "How can I get tired of eating eel rice?"
After hearing what Yuan Tai said, Suzuki Sonoko could not help but look at him speechlessly and complained: "Really! You ate so much during the day, and your stomach can still fit more!"
Seeing this, Mitsuhiko continued Suzuki Sonoko's words, "Genta has an iron stomach!"
Yuan Tai patted his belly and said with a smile: "I can still eat more!"
Suzuki Sonoko was speechless when she heard this, "Ahaha..."
Not only Suzuki Sonoko, but everyone else was also speechless about what Genta said.
Ayumi was considerate enough to change the subject: "Ah! By the way, let's go buy some souvenirs for Teacher Kobayashi!"
Sayuri's eyes lit up when she heard this and she said, "What a good idea!"
After hearing what Ayumi said, the little ones ran straight to the gift shop in the store.
Aoki Matsu looked at Maruta Ayumi and the other two and said, "If you are not interested, go back to your room first. I will follow you to see it."
"Then I'll go back to my room first." Nanatsuki Koshimizu said bluntly.
Seeing this, Maruta Ayumi and Aihara Yoji also stayed behind and did not follow.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the backs of the little ones and complained to Mao Lilan next to her: "Really! He actually wants to continue eating!"
Mao Lilan smiled and didn't complain, then said to Conan beside her: "Conan, let's go and take a look too!"
"Yeah!" After hearing what Xiaolan said, Conan nodded and followed her, then suddenly stopped when he saw the competition notice posted on the wall.
"Then I'll go back to my room first." After saying this, Kogoro Mouri went straight back to his room.
When Aoki Matsu saw Conan stop, he also stopped and looked at the notice on the wall.
Snow hiking!
Conan didn't know what he was thinking of, and asked the lady at the front desk: "Hey, big sister, can I ask you something?"
The lady at the front desk responded, "What's the matter, little brother?"
Conan pointed at the sign and said, "Does this snow hiking event lead to the reservoir?"
"Well...if the guests are interested, they will go over there." The lady at the front desk smiled and said, "Little brother, do you want to see the reservoir?"
Conan nodded "Yeah!"
When Conan asked the receptionist about the situation of the reservoir, Haibara Ai looked at Conan, then at Aoki Matsu, then turned around and walked straight into the gift shop.
At this time in the gift shop, Sayuri and her three friends had already started choosing gifts.
Aoki Matsu was also browsing the store, thinking about what gifts to bring to Shinna Kaori and her parents. Maori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko were also looking around.
Ayumi and the other three were shopping and discussing what gifts to buy. "What should I buy?"
Then Yuan Tai saw something and immediately picked it up, then said to them: "Of course it's this little bear bun."
Mitsuhiko held up a wooden sculpture and said, "No, let's buy an owl. It gives people a sense of wisdom!"
"I think Mr. Kobayashi might like snowman cookies more," said Sayuri.
After hearing what Genta, Mitsuhiko and Sayuri said, Ayumi looked around, then turned to look at Huihara Ai next to her and asked, "Ai, which one do you think is better?"
Seeing this, Haibara Ai did not answer, but turned around and handed them a mug.
Mitsuhiko took it and said, "A mug, right?"
But when I turned the cup, I found that it was printed with - I LOVE White Bird!
The four little ones immediately became excited, "Ah! I love white birds!"
After seeing the words printed on the mug, Sayuri and the other three immediately said happily.
On the other side, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were discussing gifts.
Suzuki Sonoko held up a rice ball-shaped craft and said, "Hey, Xiaolan, what do you think of this?"
Mao Lilan was stunned when she heard this. "Huh? What's going on?"
Suzuki Sonoko replied somewhat helplessly: "It's a gift for Zhen!"
Mao Lilan smiled and said, "Oh, not bad, very cute, and a bit like you!"
After hearing what Mao Lilan said, Suzuki Sonoko immediately picked it up, looked around and asked, "Huh? Really? By the way, Xiaolan, aren't you going to buy it?"
Mao Lilan was stunned and asked curiously, "What do you want to buy?"
Suzuki Sonoko was speechless when she heard this and said to Mao Lilan, "It's a gift for Shinichi! Look, Aoki-san is also choosing a gift for Shinichi-san!"
"No, no need!" Mao Lilan shrugged and said, "Even if I buy it back, he's busy investigating the case and isn't here!"
Suzuki Sonoko was a little angry when she heard this and said, "If you don't put a collar on him and let him run around, he might get caught by another woman's collar."
After hearing what Suzuki Sonoko said, Mao Li Ran couldn't help but sigh helplessly and didn't respond.
Not far away, Conan, who had heard the conversation between the two, couldn't help but twitch his lips speechlessly, and then thought to himself, "What collar? Am I a dog?"
After talking about Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko sighed again, "However, when it comes to running around, Jin is almost the same... I really envy Niina-san, how good Aoki-san is to her! They can see each other every day. What a pity..."
It's a pity that Aoki Matsu is not particularly handsome, not to the extent that Suzuki Sonoko would pursue him, otherwise...
When Mao Lilan heard this, her eyes darkened.
If we talk about seeing each other every day, she and Shinichi do see each other every day to a certain extent, but...
Ugh!
She and Sonoko are really a pair of sisters who are in trouble!
After buying the souvenirs, Aoki Matsu returned to his room, put them away, and called Maruta Ayumi and the other two over.
"How is it?" Qingmusong asked.
Maruta Ayumi shook his head, "Inspector, we haven't found any clues."
"I haven't heard anyone complaining about building the reservoir," said Nanatsuki Koshimizu.
"I have some new clues here." Aoki Matsu said.
Then he told her about his meeting with Yamao Keisuke.
"A topographic map of Kitanozawa Lake and a map of the old Kitanozawa Village at the same scale. He was the one who was most opposed to the construction of the reservoir. He was imprisoned eight years ago and was released only after the reservoir was built." After listening to this, Koshimizu Nanatsuki thought for a moment and said jokingly, "Could it be that he has some treasure hidden in his home, so he is against the construction of the reservoir?"
Qing Musong nodded and said, "Your guess does make sense. Maybe there is a treasure in the other party's home. Otherwise, how can we explain why he is obsessed with his old home? After all, the new home is much better than the old one. And even if he still misses his old home, it is now a reservoir. There is no need to compare it with a map."
The new house was built by a construction company commissioned by the government, and it is much better in every aspect.
Upon hearing this, Maruta Ayumi said, "It's a bit like looking at the exact location if you need a map for comparison. If it's just to commemorate the old home, then it would be fine next to the reservoir."
"Inspector, I suggest you investigate whether there were any robberies eight years ago that have not been solved until now." Nanatsuki Koshimizu said, "If there really is a treasure hidden, a treasure passed down from ancestors, there is no need for the other party to hide it. Since they can't say it, then it can only be obtained illegally."
Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at Koshimizu Nanatsuki with some joy.
As expected, Miss Yueshui is an expert at playing tricks on Hattori Heiji and Conan, and she figured it out immediately.
"Aihara, contact the Metropolitan Police Department immediately and ask Mizumoto-san to investigate, focusing on Tokyo and Niigata. The time is the day when Yamao Keisuke killed someone and the few days before that." Aoki Matsu ordered.
Aihara Yoji immediately responded, “Yes!”
Then Aoki Matsu looked at the three and said, "Maruta, Koshimizu, starting tomorrow, the two of you will be responsible for monitoring Yamao Keisuke, while Aihara and I will continue the investigation."
Although Qing Musong knew that this was the correct answer, the problem was - other people didn't know!
From a reasonable point of view, they are all speculations without any evidence.
Without evidence, it is not a fact.
Therefore, we must consider the possibility of erroneous reasoning. Therefore, we cannot go down this path to death, but must expand the scope of the investigation.
After arranging the work, the three left Qingmu Song's room and went back to their rooms to rest.
Unexpectedly, a while later, Mao Lilan suddenly knocked on the door and said that Sayuri and her friends had driven their snowmobiles off the runway, but fortunately they met a passing car and were sent back by a kind person.
Aoki Matsu was speechless when he heard this. This is how the Boy Detective Team is.
It makes people feel heartwarming, but also helpless.
Not long after, a vehicle drove over and the little ones got off one by one, and then stood in front of Kogoro Mori, Matsu Aoki, and Dr. Agasa.
"sorry!"
Sayuri and the other three bowed and apologized to everyone.
