Chapter 702: The Garden that Was Attacked

At noon on Saturday, July 24, in a forest next to a railway near Senbonhama, Numazu City.

Sonoko, Lan, and Masahiko Michiwaki found Conan among the crowd watching the murder scene. In the open space among the crowd, the Henggou Police Department in Shizuoka Prefecture is making a summary. The deceased is an unidentified young woman, about 24 years old. The cause of death is a knife wound in the abdomen and bleeding. The time of death is tentatively determined to be last night. During the fireworks display.

"Did we walk through here last night?" Yuanzi asked in fear.

"Fool, there's no way you're going to be okay, Sonoko." Lan comforted with a smile.

"But look, my hair is also brown, so there's no guarantee that I won't be the next one." Sonoko said a little excitedly, "No, I don't want to die in this kind of place. There are still many things I want to do. do it!"

"Don't worry," Masahiko Michiwaki patted Sonoko's shoulder, "I will protect you while you're here." Then he said with a smile, "It seems that it's better to change the place for dinner."

"And don't bring a camera." Lan said quickly.

"Of course you don't need to bring it." Michiwaki Masahiko smiled, and then said, "Then, I will pick you up at seven o'clock in the evening, and you will wait for me at the hotel entrance."

"Yeah, okay." Sonoko smiled.

"Then I'll go first." Michiwaki Masahiko said, and then left.

At this time, the Henggou Police Department came over with a smile on their faces, "Aren't these Miss Lan and Miss Yuanzi?"

"Yes, the police department, let's go to the beach to play." Lan said.

"Then is the famous Maori detective here?" Henggou Police Department asked.

"My dad is in Awashima now," Lan said.

"That's it." The Henggou Police Department said, and then said to Yuanzi, "By the way, Miss Yuanzi, you also saw what happened here just now. To be honest, this should be a serial murder..."

"Serial murder!" Yuanzi and the three were shocked.

"Yes, and the targets are all girls with dark hair like you, Ms. Yuanzi. Look," Henggou Police Department asked, "Should we send you home?"

"This," Sonoko thought for a while, thinking of the Masahiko Michiwaki he had met, and thinking of the date tonight, he said firmly, "No need."

"Is it really unnecessary?" Henggou Police Department asked.

"It's really unnecessary." Sonoko smiled.

The Henggou Police Department said: "Okay then, if there is anything wrong, please contact our police immediately."

"We will," Sonoko said.

After the Henggou Police Department left, Lan asked, "Yuanzi, are we really not going back?"

"It's okay, it's okay," Sonoko said with a smile, "With you and Michiwaki-san, it's definitely fine."

"Don't call me dad, are there still Yamazaki and Mei Daizi?" Lan asked.

"No, no, your father will be in charge." Sonoko said, "Yamazaki and Mei Daiko are here, the yacht might scare him." Then he said, "Okay, let's go to dinner. "...

On the other side, Xibu Izu Mitsu Amusement Park.

After Mei Daizi and Yamazaki had breakfast and lunch, they first went to the haunted house in the amusement park, and then went to the killer whale show in the aquarium. staff assistant,

Played with two killer whales until the afternoon, returned to Fujikawa Airport after the show, and took a helicopter back to Mihua Town. ...

On the other side, the Sea House Hotel.

Because Yuanzi was a little scared, the three of them didn't go out. They watched TV and played chess and cards in the room until it was almost time, then they changed their clothes and went to the door.

After waiting for a while, it started to rain, and Sonoko muttered, "Come on, Michiwaki-san."

Lan smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, the hero is always the last one to appear."

Yuanzi blushed a little and said, "Really, don't make fun of me like this."

At this time, the black leather waiter came over and put a handful of rainwater at the foot of the garden, and then left. They didn't look at Yuanzi and the three of them, and didn't say a word.

"Is this for us?" Sonoko asked suspiciously.

"Maybe that person is interested in Sister Sonoko." Conan laughed.

"That's right, Yuanzi, you're really popular." Lan said with a smile.

Sonoko said angrily, "I don't want such a gloomy boy."

"That's right, Sonoko already has Mr. Daowaki." Lan laughed.

Yuanzi blushed and said, "I hate it, Lan, I will be embarrassed." Then he suddenly found that he didn't bring his wallet, and immediately ran away with the excuse of going back to the room to get the wallet.

"Heh, heh." After Lan smiled, she held her chin and muttered to herself, "I still think that the boy wearing glasses just now has seen it somewhere."

"Isn't it in this hotel?" Conan asked.

"No, it's somewhere else." Lan said with certainty.

"Another place?" Conan asked, "Where is it, Sister Lan."

"Where is it?" Lan thought for a while and said, "I can't remember." Then he felt that Yuanzi had been holding the wallet for too long, so he decided to go back to the room to have a look. ...

On the other side, Sonoko's room.

As soon as Yuanzi opened the door and before turning on the light, a person covered his mouth. After struggling hard, he was pulled into the room and fell to the ground. Then, with the faint reflection, he found that the person seemed to have a knife in his hand. , so he struggled even more desperately, seeing that the knife seemed to be stabbing himself, there was a sound of pulling the door outside, and at the same time Lan's shouting, the man immediately let go of himself and ran to the balcony and then disappeared.

At this time, Lan La opened the door and entered the room. Yuanzi coughed while holding his throat: "Yes, someone..." He pointed to the balcony.

"What!" Conan immediately ran to the balcony, only to find that it was pitch black outside, and there was no one there.

"It's terrible." Sonoko gasped and cried.

"Okay, okay, it's okay." Lan comforted.

"Sister Sonoko, did you see that man?" Conan asked.

"How do I know this? I was attacked by that guy as soon as I came in. I don't have the time to watch, and the room is very dark." Sonoko cried, "By the way, that guy is a man, I bit him on the arm Take a bite, and it's covered in hairs."

"A man?" Lan asked in surprise, "Could it be the murderer?"

"No, Sister Lan, it should be a thief or something." Conan said, "Look, the luggage has been messed up."

At this time, Michiwaki Masahiko came over and turned on the light, "What's the matter, this is, the light is not on?"

Seeing Masahiko Michiwaki's body covered in water and mud on the corners of his trousers, Lan asked, "Mr. Michiwaki, what are you?"

"The car broke down halfway, and I ran over," Masahiko Michiwaki said, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Conan said, "Michiwaki-san, can you take off your shirt? I want to see your arms."

"Although I don't know what's going on," Masahiko Michiwaki took off his clothes and exposed his upper body, "Is there anything on my arm?"

The three of Conan took a closer look and found nothing unusual.

"Is it all right, little brother?" Masahiko Michiwaki asked.

"I'm sorry," Lan said.

"It's okay." Michiwaki Masahiko smiled and put on his clothes.

At this time, the black-skinned waiter came in, "What happened, guests?"

Yuanzi noticed that the waiter's right arm was wrapped with a bandage, and immediately called out, "How did you hurt your right arm?"

"It was bitten by a drunk customer before," said the black-skinned waiter.

"When is it, please tell me." Lan said.

"Just now." The black-skinned waiter removed the bandage, revealing the wound.

Yuanzi looked at it and said, "It's not him, and the person who attacked me has hair on his arms."

"Attack?" the black-skinned waiter asked.

Lan said: "Yes, a man broke in from the balcony, rummaged through our luggage, and attacked the garden that happened to come in, and then ran away without taking anything because we came over."

The black-skinned waiter said: "I think it was done by a thief. This kind of thing happened once before."

"It happened before," Yuanzi yelled, "then why didn't you say it earlier!"

The black-skinned waiter went to close the balcony door and the window of the room, and said: "I remember I said, please close the doors and windows when you leave. And it is so late, you are still dressed like this, it is not obvious that you want others Come to invade you," then glanced at Yuanzi's cool midriff-baring outfit, "I don't think it's suitable for you."

"It's too much," Sonoko exclaimed. "It's my favorite kind of clothes."

"Don't worry, no matter what clothes you wear, you are very attractive." Masahiko Michiwaki smiled at Sonoko, "Of course whether it is a yukata or a swimsuit."

At this time, the black-skinned waiter closed the doors and windows and began to pack the garden's luggage.

"What are you doing!" Sonoko yelled.

The black-skinned waiter said: "Change the room for you, and go to another room." Then he asked, "Still, do you still want to live in this room that someone broke into?"

"No, I don't want to." Yuanzi said with some fear.

"Also," the black-skinned waiter picked up the luggage and said, "It's better not to go out. It's better to have dinner at the restaurant here. Maybe that man is ambushing somewhere."

"What should I do, Lan?" Yuanzi asked in fear.

"Don't be afraid, I will always be with you." Lan said.

Michiwaki Masahiko said: "Let's have dinner at the restaurant here, and I'll order first."

"No, this meal will be treated as our treat." The black-skinned waiter said. ...

In the evening, the restaurant of Sea House Hotel.

The black-skinned waiter served a table of sumptuous dishes, "This meal is invited by our hotel, but relatively, you are not allowed to tell the outside world that something happened in this hotel." Then he left.

"Understood, I won't tell. There are thieves with knives stealing underwear in this hotel." Yuanzi stuck out his tongue at the back of the black-leather waiter.

"Knife?" Lan was taken aback.

"Yeah, I vaguely saw the reflection." Sonoko said

knife? Is it really related to the murder incident, just because Sonoko has brown hair? Wait, then why did he rummage through the luggage? Thinking of this, Conan asked, "Sister Sonoko, is there anything missing in your bag?"

"No," Sonoko said, "Only the camera was taken out of the leather case. Maybe it was because it was considered cheap, that guy who didn't know what to buy."

"Cough!" Lan reminded.

camera? Could it be that the camera took photos related to the incident? Thinking of this, Conan asked, "Sister Sonoko, did the film get taken away?"

"Negative? There is no negative in it at all, oh, I almost forgot." Yuanzi said, and then waved loudly to the black-skinned waiter, "Come on."

"What's the matter, please?" the black-skinned waiter came over and asked.

"I asked you to help me send the photo to be developed." Yuanzi asked, "Is it all right now?"

"I don't know about this, I'll go and ask for you." The black-skinned waiter left after speaking, and brought a sealed paper package to Yuanzi after a while.

"Thank you," Yuanzi took the paper bag and waved, "You can go."

When the black-skinned waiter left, Michiwaki Masahiko asked, "Can you lend me a look?"

"Okay." Sonoko smiled.

"No." Lan snatched the paper bag.

"Don't worry, this is another one." Yuanzi smiled, and then opened the paper bag to show Lan.

After reading one by one, Lan confirmed that there was no shameful photo, and handed the paper package to Masahiko Michiwaki.

Michiwaki Masahiko looked at it and asked, "Miss Sonoko, are all the couples in the photo your friends?"

Lan smiled and said, "Oh, that's why Sonoko was in a very bad mood before meeting you, Mr. Daowaki, so she went around taking pictures of couples as a prank."

"Lan!" Yuanzi protested embarrassingly.

Conan looked at the photos and found that there were no strange photos, and the victim was not photographed. Then he thought, yes, we did pass by there at the time of the crime, but Sonoko didn't take any photos at all, so why would the murderer Mistakenly thinking that Sonoko took a photo that might threaten him? Wait, if he was also at the restaurant by the sea at noon, overheard the one in the conversation, and showed a certain photo to some detective, if so, which is very likely, then who is it?

Conan thought about it for a while, but didn't have a clue for a while, so he started to concentrate on eating.

During the post-dinner chat, it was heard that the three of Sonoko would go back at noon tomorrow, and Michiwaki Masahiko said with a smile: "Well, then I will treat you to breakfast tomorrow morning, and then I will drive you back."

"Okay." Sonoko smiled.

"Yuanzi." Lan whispered.

"It's okay, call them when the time comes." Yuanzi whispered.

Michiwaki Masahiko asked: "So, how about going to that ghost restaurant tomorrow morning?"

"I'm going, I'm going," Yuanzi said with a smile, "I won't be afraid if I go in the morning."

"No cameras allowed," Lan said.

"Please," Conan muttered helplessly, "Do you want to go or not?"

Soon after, Masahiko Michiwaki left, and the three of Sonoko returned to their room. ...

On the other hand, Mei Daizi and Yamazaki took a helicopter to Fujikawa Airport, then took a car to Fuji Natural Zoo, paid three times the price, and asked the staff to drive them around in a sightseeing car, and then returned to Xibu Izu Mitsu Amusement Park rest. ...

The next day, Sunday, July 25, at around 8:00 am, Masahiko Michiwaki went to the Sea House Hotel and picked up the three of Sonoko. ...
