'What are these red marks?'

Thinking about this, Conan lowered his head and returned to the living room.

He looked at the people present and originally wanted to talk to Lingchuan about this matter alone, but he changed his mind after noticing Hattori Heiji out of the corner of his eye.

"Sister Xiaolan, if you get burned, will it turn red?"

"Huh? Why do you ask?" Mao Lilan was very confused.

She looked at Conan strangely, "Are you burned? It was when I was checking in the kitchen just now..."

"No, I just suddenly remembered that when I saw Sister Renmei's body just now, her hands were red."

Conan put on an innocent expression, "So I guess it was painful when Sister Hitomi died?"

"Pain?" Maori Kogoro suddenly fell into deep thought. "By the way, the expression on Iwai Hitomi's corpse is indeed very strange."

As he said this, he returned to the crime scene first.

When everyone arrived, he had already confirmed what he wanted to know, "There is indeed a red mark, but it doesn't seem to be a burn."

"If it was a burn, there should be blisters at this level." Hattori immediately pointed out the key point after seeing it, "But it's not a burn, what could have caused her hand to be like this?"

Lingchuan was also interested in the changes that took place before his eyes.

He moved a little closer and took a closer look. Iwai Hitomi's death seemed like she suddenly fell to the ground and could not get up, but she did not die immediately.

It seemed as if he had gone through a period of inhuman torture before he finally died.

Judging from the posture of her corpse, this pain made it impossible for her to find the source.

Lingchuan analyzed this information when he saw the corpse for the first time.

But he didn't care, because he also agreed with what Kogoro Mori said about poisoning.

But now it seems that perhaps she was indeed tortured before her death, but she did not necessarily die of poisoning.

But as for the specific circumstances, Lingchuan didn't dare to jump to conclusion without carefully examining the body.

However, the red mark found on the body this time made Lingchuan somewhat concerned.

Because this is something that has never appeared before.

At first Lingchuan thought that Iwai Hitomi was killed by someone else, but after seeing this mark, he suddenly felt that it was not that simple.

Maybe... it's Zhan Tang You Shi?

Lingchuan glanced at Zhan Tang Youshiyi who was standing behind the crowd, somewhat unsure of what he was thinking.

The task he gave to Yuju Tendou can be summarized as follows: the child next to Kogoro Mori is not simple, and he seems to have a hidden identity.

And this identity needs to be found by Yuju Tendou himself and told to Kogoro Mori or Ran Mori.

As long as one of them gets this information, whether they believe it or not, Zhan Tang Youshi's mission will be considered a success.

As an assessment task, this task is certainly not easy.

Because this task has only literal blank meaning.

The difficulty of the task lies in why a child has a hidden identity, and Zhan Tang Youshi doesn't even know where to start.

I don’t know how to find out Conan’s identity.

But Zhan Tang You Shi is no fool.

After accepting the task, he started with Kogoro Mori.

He soon discovered something suspicious.

Just like what Kento Toba and Hiroyuki Kanaya said before, why does 'Sleeping Kogoro' have to 'sleep' in order to solve the case?

Although many people who have personally experienced the crime scene gave positive comments on Maori Kogoro afterwards, many people would say one sentence before praising him:

"Mr. Maori just likes to joke around. I was really shocked at first~"

"Mr. Maori's reasoning ability is really strong, but he seems a little unreliable at the beginning because he is confused."

If you say this too many times, it will always attract the attention of those who are interested.

When no one cares, these words are just minor episodes.

Once someone noticed this, it would be really weird.

Can a person really have such a big difference before and after?

With this attitude, Zhan Tang You Shi began to conduct an in-depth investigation.

Soon, he noticed Conan.

However, these investigation results of Zhan Tang Youshi could not escape Lingchuan's eyes at all.

Lingchuan even knew how far he had investigated.

Precisely because of this clarity, Lingchuan is looking forward to this trip so much.

'A surprise prepared for Conan', that's what it's talking about.

However, Lingchuan felt a little surprised that Zhan Tang Youshi did not take any further action.

When Iwai Hitomi's body appeared, Lingchuan didn't even think about Zhandong Yuju, but now it seems... maybe he has to think about him.

Looking at Zhan Tang Youshiyi's appearance as a social elite, Lingchuan lowered his eyes and looked away.

"I think we should go back to the living room."

After thinking for a while and failing to come up with a suitable goal, Maori Kogoro directly commanded, "After daybreak, we will all hike down the mountain together."

He checked the time. "It's only about two hours until dawn. If we hold on, there shouldn't be any problems..."

"What's that sound outside?"

Shimizu Nanako suddenly turned her head.

It’s a pity that there is no window at this location, so even if she turns her head, she can only see a wall.

However, as time went on, the strange sound became more and more obvious.

"It sounds like a car starting."

Hiroki was the first to hear it, and he said in a low voice.

Everyone's eyes lit up, "Could it be the innkeeper?"

Hattori Heiji and Conan were the first to think of something, and they rushed out with all their might.

Lingchuan fell behind because he was with Hongshu.

When he went out, he saw the innkeeper driving his car and accelerating towards the edge of the cliff!

"Hey! Uncle, open the door!" Hattori Heiji chased after the car.

Conan even jumped onto the car, showing his amazing arm strength by clinging to the car window with his hands.

"Hey! Uncle?!"

Hattori Heiji banged on the vehicle and spoke almost in a screaming voice, but Kanaya Hiroyuki didn't respond at all.

At the last critical moment, Conan jumped out of the car and Hattori stopped chasing him.

Hiroyuki Kanaya was driving the car and was buried under the cliff.

Seeing this scene, Hattori Heiji and Conan's faces were not very good.

At the same time, there was another person with a bad look on his face - Kento Toba.

His expression changed in just one second, but was accurately captured by Lingchuan and Zhan Tang Youshi.

“It’s getting more and more interesting…”

Lingchuan murmured.

It is obvious that Kento Toba is closely related to Hiroyuki Kanaya's death.

However, the sudden appearance of Kanaya Hiroyuki was not in Toba Kento's original plan.

Chapter 122: Locking in the Murderer

"The innkeeper is dead." Hattori Heiji said in disbelief, "Right in front of my eyes, he and his car fell off the cliff..."

At this time, everyone came over and gathered around the edge of the cliff.

Looking at the flames at the foot of the mountain being gradually extinguished by the sea water, everyone fell silent.

"No way……"

"How could this be?"

Mao Li Ran stepped back in fear and bumped into Mao Li Kogoro.

She looked back and said, "Dad?"

The look of 'sudden enlightenment' on Maori Kogoro's face made her eyes light up, "Have you solved the mystery?"

"That's right!" Maori Kogoro nodded affirmatively, "I have gradually understood everything!"

"Really? Mr. Maori?"

The others were very surprised, even Lingchuan looked at Maori Kogoro sideways.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with admiration and expectation, Maori Kogoro said, "In my opinion, the innkeeper must have committed suicide!"

"Suicide?" Hattori Heiji was confused and couldn't understand why Kanaya Hiroyuki committed suicide.

Conan was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression of "No way".

"Yes, suicide." Maori Kogoro was still reasoning to himself, "I think the innkeeper must not want you to get the first edition of Sherlock Holmes, so he plans to cancel the previous agreement."

"Originally, he staged a scene in which the first edition was lost, so that even if someone won the final question-and-answer session, he wouldn't have to take out the book, but..."

Lingchuan couldn't listen any more.

He was a little speechless and a little shocked when he asked, "Mr. Maori, you don't want to say that the reason why Miss Iwai Hitomi died was because she discovered the innkeeper's plan and was silenced, right?"

"That's right," Maori Kogoro gave a look that said 'you understand me, kid', "but after killing Iwai Hitomi, Kanaya Hiroyuki was overwhelmed by his emotions and was horrified that he had actually killed someone."

"He couldn't accept it for a moment and thought about driving his car off a cliff and committing suicide."
