Chapter 584 The man who fell from the building
Chapter 584 The man who fell from the building
Kogoro Mouri felt his stomach and found that it was indeed time to eat.
But......
He looked at the hotel receptionist over there and a man sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby, and shook his head at Xiaolan and the others.
"No, it's not time to eat yet."
Kogoro Mori thought about his mission and stopped reminiscing with Hakuba Matsu and others. Instead, he focused his attention on the target ahead.
Hakuba Matsu and others also subconsciously followed Maori Kogoro and looked over there.
At this time, sitting on the sofa in the lobby of the Mihua Hotel was a middle-aged man about 40 years old. He was wearing a brown suit and looked at his watch from time to time, as if he was waiting for something.
This man might be the target of Kogoro Mori's surveillance, but now it seems that there is nothing strange about him.
On the contrary, at the same time, a short-haired woman wearing a light blue top and a blue skirt hurriedly ran to the front desk and asked the front desk staff,
"Excuse me, I'm Nanzato Kaoru from room 1015. Is there a Mr. Anzai who has mailed something here?"
"No, Miss Nanli."
The staff answered politely.
"That's weird. He just called and said he had left his stuff at the front desk."
Nan Lixun's expression was very complicated, with surprise, anxiety, confusion, fear of loss and other emotions mixed together. While she was talking to the staff, she was looking around for someone.
She repeatedly asked the staff,
"Could you please check it for me?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Nanli, I really don't have any."
"Really... no...?"
Based on the principle of minding their own business, Hakuba Matsu and others did not follow Maori Kogoro to continue watching here. Instead, they said something to him and walked into the buffet restaurant.
And Kogoro Mouri, naturally, continued to do his detective work here.
......
"Well, this buffet is really good!"
"Yeah, yeah, it's cheap but it tastes really good!"
Xiaolan and Sato Miwako were eating and chattering, while Conan and Hakubamatsu would occasionally join in.
Just as Bai Masong was about to use his knife and fork again, his intuition made him subconsciously look out the window.
But, he saw...
A figure in a brown suit flashed from top to bottom at an extremely fast speed past the window where Bai Masong and others were, and finally fell down.
"It's the person just now."
Conan recognized the identity of the person who fell at a glance.
"Um,"
Bai Masong nodded, then stood up from his seat expressionlessly.
"Let's go, there's more work to do."
...........................
After some time
A large force from the Metropolitan Police Department also arrived at the scene.
"Officer Hakuba, Officer Sato,"
Takagi Wataru waved his hand towards this side and trotted over with his men.
"Um,"
Bai Masong nodded slightly, glanced at the team behind him, and frowned slightly.
"Takagi, what's going on today? Why are there only so many people here? Where are Shiratori and the others?"
"Hoohoohoo..."
Gao Mushi took two breaths, calmed his breathing, and then explained to Bai Masong,
"It's like this. Just when we were about to go out on a mission, the police station received another report."
"So Officer Shiratori decided to split up into two groups. I will lead some people here, and he will be responsible for handling the cases over there."
"Another case?"
Sato Miwako couldn't help but exclaimed,
"Is this also a murder case?"
"It is said that it is,"
Takagi Wataru nodded, his face serious.
"The person who reported the case was the deceased's wife, who contacted the police immediately after discovering the body."
"Stop talking about this,"
Bai Ma Song gave them a look, signaling them to stop.
"It's not too late to investigate the case here first."
"makes sense."
Sato Miwako echoed.
Afterwards, Hakuba Matsu and her eyes turned to Maori Kogoro who had been standing next to them.
After the incident happened before, Kogoro Mouri also ran down and joined everyone to protect the scene together.
"Mr. Maori,"
Bai Ma Song looked at the position of the body on the ground, then raised his head and looked at a room in the Beika Hotel above, and asked Maori Kogoro without turning his head,
"Is this deceased the person you were following?"
"Follow...follow?"
Takagi Wataru looked at Maori Kogoro in surprise, but when he saw that Hakuba Matsu and others beside him had no doubts, he quickly covered his mouth and stopped talking.
"Um,"
Maori Kogoro nodded gloomily, looking unhappy.
"The deceased is called Hitomi Matsuichiro, he is 45 years old. It is true that I was following him this morning."
As he spoke, Maori Kogoro shook his head slightly towards Hakuba Matsu and the others.
"But don't ask me who hired me."
"Don't worry, we know the rules."
Bai Masong said lightly,
"But you have to tell us, what happened just now?"
"Can,"
Maori Kogoro closed his eyes and slowly recounted what happened after Hakubamatsu and the others left.
At that time, after Miss Minamisato Kaoru, who went to the front desk to inquire about something, left, Hitomi Matsuichiro immediately left the hotel lobby and followed Minamisato Kaoru all the way to the elevator. Seeing this, Kogoro Mori naturally hurried to follow.
Afterwards, Kogoro Mori followed Matsuichiro all the way without being discovered, only to find out that this guy's target was actually Kaoru Minamisato!
Hitoshi Matsuichiro used some simple methods to avoid getting off the elevator on the same floor as Minamisato Kaoru, and then he followed Minamisato Kaoru directly into her room.
Out of caution, Kogoro Mouri did not follow in at first, but then he heard Minamisato Kaoru's cry for help and was worried about her safety, so he broke open the door of Minamisato Kaoru's room.
When he entered, he found that Minamisato Kaoru had fainted on the ground, and Hitomi Matsuichiro had run to the balcony because he heard a knock on the door.
Looking at Kogoro Mori who was approaching, Hitomi Matsuichiro said sorry while slowly moving towards the balcony of the next room.
Finally, he lost his footing and fell.
"That's all I know."
Kogoro Mori looked depressed and let out a long sigh.
