Chapter 874: I can’t think of a title, so I’ll forget it
Mitsuhiko swallowed his saliva and said with a hint of relief: "Let's talk to that person first? Maybe it's someone who just wants to enter the cabin and is knocking on the door."
He said this and walked towards the door tentatively.
"You can't open it!" Conan shouted to stop him.
"Bang! Bang bang bang!"
Apparently seeing that the door couldn't be opened, the person outside banged on the door several times with great force. Fortunately, the wooden house was quite sturdy, and the door just shook and showed no signs of being broken.
Conan said in a deep voice: "That's right, the person outside is definitely the murderer we just saw burying the body."
"Ah!" the three children screamed in horror.
"It's okay," Conan comforted, "This wooden house is very solid, that man can't break in."
Judging from the speed at which the man was chasing them just now, the murderer should not be a strong person.
Moreover, the man did not bring the shovel with him, and the axe was also in the room. Without tools, he had no way of breaking in through the door using only his body.
Even if he rushed back to get a shovel, the time it took to go back and forth should be enough for the police or You to find this place.
Just as Conan guessed, the banging sound of the door stopped - it seemed that the murderer outside gave up when he saw that he couldn't break the door open.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief and shone the flashlight around, and found two backpacks, one black and one pink, one large and one small.
He speculated: "I guess it was the owner of this black backpack who brought the woman who was just buried, the owner of the pink backpack, here and killed her."
Conan walked around the room, looked at the three shivering children, and comforted them: "Don't worry, there is only one entrance to the wooden house. Let's stay here and wait for others to rescue us."
As the backbone of the Junior Detective Team, Conan's words were very convincing, and the three children immediately felt a lot more at ease.
"A-choo!" Conan suddenly sneezed loudly, and a long stream of snot flowed down.
Ayumi asked worriedly: "Conan, do you have a cold?"
Conan wiped his nose and said, "It's okay. Maybe I didn't cover myself with the quilt properly last night."
In fact, he had felt a headache early in the morning, but he thought it was because he didn't sleep well last night because of Maori Kogoro's sleepiness. Now it seems that he really has a cold.
Children's bodies are weak. Conan sighed secretly.
A child? Wait, Conan suddenly thought of something and reached into his pocket to touch the box full of medicine.
If he saw it correctly, there seemed to be a few pills of that medicine in it?
···
On the other side, next to the pit where the bodies were buried.
Since this is Gunma Prefecture, the person in charge of the site here is of course our old acquaintance, Yamamura Cao.
Yamamura pinched his chin and said, "So, the little boy who called the police is Conan?"
Youya nodded: "Well, I kept calling him, but the signal in the mountains was too bad and I couldn't get through."
Sera Masumi said anxiously: "So, please take people to search the area quickly!"
Shancuncao said quickly: "We have sent people to search, but the roads nearby are complicated and we don't know if we can find the person right away..."
"How could this be!" Sera Masumi shouted anxiously, "The murderer must be chasing them, otherwise why can't we see any trace of them? The worst case scenario is that they have fallen into the murderer's hands."
Yamamura Cao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry. For us, the Gunma County police, this Dongming Mountain is like our backyard. Whether it's a child or a murderer, we can find them right away."
"But..." Sera Masumi wanted to say something, her face full of anxiety and worry.
Yuya glanced at her, wondering if she was too concerned about Conan. This was beyond normal worry.
Yuya patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, Conan is a smart kid. He should be circling the woods with the murderer. He might appear in front of us in a while."
The phone call was not connected and it was very difficult to find someone in the mountains, so the task of finding someone had to be left to the local police.
I also specifically gave him Shiho's anesthetic. If something really happens, unless the other party has a gun, one bottle will be enough to deal with it.
Sera Masumi let out a breath and nodded slightly.
Yuya looked at Yamamura Sou and said, "Officer Yamamura, although we have to search, let's first investigate the identity of the deceased."
Shancun Cao nodded repeatedly: "What you said makes sense."
The body had been brought up and removed from the sleeping bag.
Yuya squatted down and turned the body over, saying, "Judging from the corpse spots and the degree of stiffness, this woman should have been killed five or six hours ago. She was chopped on the back with an axe or something like that."
"But she did not die on the spot. Judging from the bloodstains in the sleeping bag, her hands showed signs of movement, which means that she still had some consciousness when she was put into the sleeping bag."
Shancun Cao nodded repeatedly, humming in agreement, and turned to look at the police officer beside him: "Have you found out the identity of the deceased?"
The police officer replied: "The deceased did not have anything on him, so..."
At this time, Sera Masumi said, "I think she should be a kindergarten teacher."
She squatted down, pulled the knee-high socks on the victim's legs down a little, pointed at the bruises and said, "Look, there are marks on her knees. Kindergarten teachers often have to kneel on the floor to keep their eyes level with the children, right?"
Yamamura Cao raised a question: "But, isn't it a bit far-fetched to conclude that she is a kindergarten teacher just based on the marks on her knees? There are many other professions where the knees are touched."
Masumi Sera explained, "But there are no scratches on her elbows and hands, so she wasn't an athlete. People who sit upright regularly will also have marks on their calves and toes, but there are none on the body."
Yuya squatted down and carefully lifted the dead woman's hair. He said, "Also, she clearly had straight hair, but the hair on both sides was unnaturally fluffy. Moreover, her hair was long, but there were traces of sunburn at the bottom of her head, which means that she usually tied her hair into two ponytails and often walked outdoors."
Sera Masumi continued, "Judging from her appearance, the deceased is about 30 years old, but she had a childish hairstyle that didn't suit her age. This means that she was a kindergarten teacher who often took children out to play, right?"
Shancuncao pinched his chin and said, "In this case, we only need to investigate whether there are any missing kindergarten teachers nearby to confirm the identity. However, this is Dongming Mountain, and there are many tourists from other places. If they come from other cities, it will take a lot of time to investigate."
"Anyway, I'll have someone investigate the deceased's information from this aspect first."
