Chapter 514 The Dead on the Mountainside
Chapter 514 The Dead on the Mountainside
Fortunately, Bai Masong didn’t know what Conan was thinking, otherwise he would have smashed this kid’s head.
"Hehe, Asong, this can't be blamed on us."
Dr. Agasa smiled awkwardly.
"Well, we don't want to encounter any cases either."
Bai Masong shook his head and stopped talking about this topic. Then he turned his head and looked at the people standing next to Professor Agasa and the Junior Detective League.
"I remember you guys drove out here, Doctor. Why are you here now?"
Bai Masong only saw this white RV at the scene and did not see Dr. Agasa's yellow Beetle.
He thought helplessly in his heart, could it be that Dr. Agasa's Beetle had a flat tire again?
"Ah, no, no."
Dr. Agasa seemed to see what Bai Masong was thinking about, so he immediately explained,
"We met these classmates on the road, and they warmly invited us to ride in the car with them to watch the fireworks."
"So, who are these people?"
When they saw Bai Masong mention themselves and others, the three students immediately took the lead in introducing themselves.
Among the three, the blond man in the blue shirt is called Fukuura Reiji, the slightly fatter one is called Iago Takuto, and the one with long hair and a gentle look is Tencho Haruka.
"What is the relationship between the deceased and you?"
Hakuba Matsu looked at Fukuura Reiji, who was vaguely the leader, then looked at the dead body and asked.
"We came here camping together to watch the fireworks. Taimei is our partner."
Fukuura Reiji said.
Tian Tang Qing Hua also helped explain,
"We ran into this old man and some kids when we were having a picnic on the road. They were very interested in our RV, so we invited them to come along."
"Ah."
Bai Masong listened to the basic introductions of several people and nodded.
Then, he turned around and looked at the young forensic doctor standing next to the corpse.
"Can the time of death of the body be determined?"
"Um,"
The young forensic doctor nodded.
"It is basically certain that he died around six o'clock this evening."
"Six o'clock..."
After listening to the forensic doctor's words, he looked at Dr. Agasa and his group.
"Where were you at that time?"
"We were just about to go up to watch the fireworks at that time."
Fukuura Reiji said quickly.
"Watch the fireworks?"
Shiratori Renzaburo wondered, are the fireworks here famous? Why hadn't he, a native of Tokyo, heard of it?
"Ah, that's how it is."
Fukuura Reiji saw Shiratori Jinzaburo's confusion and immediately explained,
"We came here a year ago and only chose to have a picnic, but we happened to find that the effect of watching the fireworks from the top of the mountain was really good, so we decided to come again."
"I see."
Shiratori Renzaburo nodded in sudden realization. No wonder, it turned out that these people discovered the secret place.
Conan and the three members of the Junior Detective League also nodded. The fireworks here were indeed beautiful and had a unique flavor.
"When did you start watching fireworks?"
Bai Masong's calm words brought the topic back to the topic.
"It should be around seven o'clock."
Fukuura Reiji recalled and said thoughtfully,
"The fireworks started at about seven o'clock, so when we couldn't see Taimei around, we thought she must have gone upstairs to watch the fireworks first."
“So we drove up there.”
"After that, we watched the fireworks from up there. When the fireworks ended at nine o'clock, we drove down."
“It was also on the way back that we found Taimei’s body on the road.”
Hakubamatsu listened to what Fukuura Reiji said and looked at Conan again.
Conan nodded at Hakuba Matsu, indicating that Fukuura Reiji was right.
Listening to Fukuura Reiji's words, Shiratori Jinsaburo, who was investigating the scene, frowned.
"Mr. Fukuura Reiji, you said you were going to watch the fireworks at 7 o'clock?"
"But this Miss Taimei died at about six o'clock. Didn't you see her on the road when you went up to watch the fireworks?"
"This this......"
Fukuura Reiji scratched his head, somewhat at a loss.
"When we went up, we really didn't see Taimei!"
"But, however, we did see a broken fence on the road."
Broken fence?
Bai Mashong and the others were stunned when they heard this, and then Bai Mashong subconsciously looked upwards.
At the top of this hill, there is indeed a fence surrounding the outside, probably to protect pedestrians.
"Did you also see the broken pieces of fence here?"
Bai Masong asked the few people indifferently.
"No, it's not."
Tian Tang Qing Hua denied it.
"We actually saw it on a section of the road that goes up the mountain."
"That's right,"
Fanhe Takuto also nodded.
"It was this guy Fukuura who was driving. He was driving when he suddenly braked and said he seemed to have run over something. We were really scared."
"I even got out of the car to take a look and found that it was just a fence."
"Were you the only one who got off the bus at that time?"
Shiratori Renzaburo next to him also asked.
"Ah, yes."
Fango Takuto nodded, but perhaps he felt that the policeman Shiratori Renzaburo was suspicious of him, so he quickly explained,
"But everyone who opened the car door at the time should be able to see it clearly."
"Mmmmmmm!"
The three members of the Junior Detective Team also nodded, this was true.
At that time, they all came over curiously, so they saw that it was indeed a fence, and there was no possibility that Fanhe Takuto was talking nonsense.
After listening to everyone's words, Shiratori Renzaburo did not delve into it too much.
He raised his head and glanced at the top of the mountain.
The crime scene where they are now is actually located halfway up the hill. There is a section of circular road going up, and then you will reach the top of the hill.
That being said...
"Officer, I think it was Taimei who broke the fence from above and fell down."
Fukuura Reiji said with a gloomy expression.
Bai Masong looked at the boy strangely. Could it be that the death of his companions did not leave the slightest trace in his heart?
He also installed a method of killing his companions in this way.
However, Fukuura Reiji's statement was unanimously agreed upon by the other two companions.
Fanhe Takuto was also sighing,
"When I saw the fence above was broken in half, I jokingly said, there's no way Taimei could have fallen from here."
"Who knew that this saying would become a proverb?"
Tiantang Qinghua also sighed, then wiped away a tear silently.
Seeing them look as if their good sister had died, Bai Masong didn't know what to say.
After all, according to the laws of science and the current situation, the murderer is among them.
"Don't jump to conclusions yet."
Bai Masong said calmly, then glanced at the few people.
"Let's go to the top of the mountain first."
"By the way, Gao Mu, have the forensic experts search thoroughly and not miss any details."
"Ok."
Takagi Wataru responded, and the others nodded.
.......
A moment later, on top of the mountain.
Bai Masong and his group have arrived at the top of the mountain mentioned earlier. After arriving here, they can clearly see that there is indeed a broken section of the fence in the front near the cliff.
When Bai Masong brought Shiratori Renzaburo and Sato Miwako to the fence, they could clearly see traces of a bicycle.
Seeing this trace, Bai Masong turned around and asked Fukuura Reiji and the other two,
"After seeing this trace, don't you have any doubts?"
