In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 171 Familiar Feeling (12)

"Brother Qiuchuan, we need to call the police immediately."

"vomit--!"

After Conan finished thinking in his mind, he quickly turned to look at Akikawa Sousuke and spoke at the same time.

However, before he could finish his words, he saw Akikawa Sosuke, who had been leaning against the wall beside him, suddenly vomited with a "vomit".

"The scene just now was too shocking for him."

Conan thought to himself as he looked at Akikawa Sosuke who was vomiting non-stop.

The scene just now, if not for a detective like me who is used to seeing corpses, I am afraid that most people really can’t accept it.

What's more, Akikawa Sosuke is a person who grew up under house arrest by his mother, and his actual mental age is far lower than his real age.

Conan waited for a long time and finally saw that Akikawa Sosuke stopped vomiting.

Then he saw Akikawa Sosuke wipe his mouth with the back of his hand, and then turned his head to look at him.

Conan looked at the resentful look in Akikawa Sorasuke's eyes, which were red and swollen due to vomiting and stimulated his tear glands, and couldn't help but turn his head away in embarrassment.

Obviously.

This artist once again attributed this "coincidence" to himself.

"Call the police."

Conan heard Akikawa Sosuke's voice becoming a little hoarse, and then he followed Akikawa Sosuke out.

After leaving the hot spring area, Akikawa Sosuke hurriedly called the police.

Conan listened to Akikawa Sosuke's incoherent speech when he called the police.
Finally, he could no longer bear it and snatched Akikawa Sosuke's phone, then shouted to the police on the other end of the line:

"We found a bag of decomposed corpses in the hot spring pool of Kosen-an!"

After that, Conan reported their address to the police officer who answered the phone, then hung up and returned the phone to Akikawa Sorasuke.

"Conan-kun, why don't you look scared at all?"

Akikawa Sosuke took the phone and said to Conan with some confusion.

Conan was also stunned, then scratched his head and smiled awkwardly at Akikawa Sosuke:
"Because I've seen a lot of cases with Uncle Kogoro before, so I'm used to it. Haha."

Conan responded to Akikawa Sosuke awkwardly, then turned and ran to the front desk.

It seemed that he was going to report the situation to the staff of Kosenan, but in fact he wanted to stay away from Akikawa Sousuke.

Akikawa Sosuke looked at Conan from afar as he ran to report to the staff, and his hand holding the phone tightened a little.

He discovered that nothing good would happen to him whenever he met Conan.

Originally, Akikawa Sosuke just wanted to do an ordinary job as an entertainer, but he only performed once, the leading actor died, and he was also regarded as a suspect.

The day after that case was concluded, a decomposed body was found in the hot spring pool again.

It goes without saying that as the first eyewitness, I will definitely encounter a lot of trouble.

But after all, Akikawa Sosuke is not the murderer, so nothing will happen to him in the end.

But the problem is that the mobile phone in Akikawa Sosuke's hand is installed with eavesdropping software.

The Grim Reaper Elementary School Student has the aura of a protagonist, and no matter how he acts at the crime scene, he will not arouse anyone's suspicion.

But since he was involved in several cases, he could not avoid being suspected by the police.

The key point is that these following cases really have nothing to do with me at all.

Akikawa Sosuke couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

"I don't know how the investigation of Sera Masumi is going."

"It would be great if the handsome detective could kill the murderer directly. Then the police would have no use for suspecting me." "But if he fails to kill the murderer, then both the murderer and the police would be in trouble."

Akikawa Sosuke thought to himself, then changed his mind and recalled the bag of broken limbs and arms he had just seen.

"The cut parts of the arms and legs in the bag just now showed no signs of life, which means the victim was dismembered after death."

"In this case, it is unlikely that the murderer's reason for dismembering the body was out of hatred."

"If you really want to torture the dead out of hatred, you should dismember the body while the dead person is still alive."

The murderer did not dismember the body out of hatred.

But this does not mean that the murderer has no resentment towards the deceased.

These two points are not in conflict.

Just now, Akikawa Sosuke only saw a broken arm and a broken leg, so naturally he had no way of judging the murderer's motive for "killing" the deceased.

'Also, it's strange that the murderer dumped the body directly into the hot spring pool, because in this case, the body would definitely be discovered.'

"Besides, a body dumping case just happened at the women's hot spring the day before."

Killing someone is not difficult; what is difficult is dealing with the body after the killing.

Since the murderer chose to dump the body, it means that he didn't know how to deal with the body without taking it out of the room.

These are the two most difficult steps in disposing of a corpse.

One is how to take the body out without leaving any trace.

Another is how to prevent the discarded body from being discovered.

If you have to dispose of the body, the most reasonable thing to do would be to compress the body first.

Because this not only reduces suspicion, but also makes it easier to carry.

The murderer had already done this, he had decomposed the body.

But in this situation, he still chose to throw the body directly into the hot spring pool, which means that his purpose from the beginning was not to dismember the body for the convenience of disposing of it.

Thinking of this, the murderer's purpose of "dismembering the body" is already very clear -

He must have wanted to destroy the evidence.

Because an intact corpse would definitely reveal certain information, he had to spend the effort to dismember it.

Combined with the murderer's behavior of throwing the body into the hot spring pool, Akikawa Sosuke suddenly began to have doubts in his heart.

'Is the man who dismembered the body really the murderer?'

"If he is the murderer, in order to cover up his murder, there should be many places more suitable for dumping the body than the hot spring."

"I feel like he wanted the body to be discovered on purpose."

"If that's the case, then the murderer must be someone else."

"The dismemberer only carried out such a complicated dismemberment in order to destroy the evidence."

Akikawa Sosuke made a judgment in his mind.

'Why do I suddenly feel familiar?'

The murderer was someone else, but in order to cover up something, that other person had to do something else with the body and the crime scene.

——It is very similar to the scene when I just traveled through time.

Akikawa Sosuke transformed the crime scene because he had no memory, and all the evidence at the scene pointed to him as the murderer.

So if Akikawa Sosuke's judgment above is correct,
The reason why the dismemberer did this was probably because he was worried that if the body was discovered, it would have an extremely adverse impact on him.
