Chapter 984 Suitcase and Old Postcard
the other side.
Yuya stood at the door of Kyōgo Hira's room, waiting for the results of the forensic department's investigation, while Shiho Miyano accompanied him.
Although he came along, there was no way Inspector Megure would really let him participate in the on-site investigation. Of course, if it was something Yuya had investigated on his own before the police arrived, that would be another matter.
However, he did not have the authority to investigate Huopu Jingwu's room at that time.
Soon, Takagi Wataru walked out of the room.
"Did you find anything?" Youye asked quickly.
Takagi Wataru shook his head: "Not yet."
"Is that so..." Youye pondered, it seems that he can't find anything in the room?
At this time, a forensic officer ran over and reported the results of the investigation of the victim's room to Takagi Shigeru.
"The bottle caps of shampoo and shower gel are missing? Can't they be found anywhere?" Takagi Wataru asked in some confusion.
The forensic officer nodded and said, "Yes, and the table in the room also fell over. Maybe the beer cans on the table also fell into the suitcase and got everything inside wet."
Takagi Wataru immediately looked at Yuya.
Youye shook his head: "It wasn't us who did it. We only entered the door of the room to check the body, but we didn't go into the room."
"I see." Takagi Shigeru still maintained a high degree of trust in Yuya's words.
"Come to think of it," Takagi Wataru thought of something, "the bottle caps of shampoo and shower gel are missing in the bathroom of Mr. Hiura's room."
"Huh?" Yuya was stunned, and a flash of lightning flashed through his mind. He grabbed Gao Mushi's shoulders and asked, "Really?"
Takagi Wataru was stunned for a moment, but still nodded: "Yes, but it's just a coincidence, right? After all, it's a disposable item."
Coincidence? Yuya let go of his hand, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It would be normal if the bottle cap of shower gel was missing, but it shouldn’t be the case for the bottle cap of shampoo.
After all, Huopu Jingwu is a bald man!
Thinking of this, Yuya asked, "Officer Takagi, I want to go to the victim's room to take a look, is that okay?"
Takagi Wataru hesitated for a moment and looked at the forensic officer.
The forensic officer said: "The investigation of the room has been completed..." The implication is that it is okay.
Takagi Shigeru nodded to Yuya and whispered, "Don't tell Inspector Megure about this, or I will be scolded."
Yuya smiled and said, "Of course, I know the rules."
So, Yuya and Miyano Shiho came to the room where Mizunotsuki was killed.
After greeting the police officer guarding the door and asking Miyano Shiho to wait at the door, Yuya put on shoe covers and walked into the room.
The room was very tidy, except for the suitcase that was spread out on the floor, with a can of beer poured inside, soaking everything.
Yuya looked at the suitcase, which contained some clothes and cosmetics, a tablet, and a backpack.
But... even if Mizunotsuki is a woman and has more stuff, isn't the size of this suitcase a bit too big? And why is this backpack also in the suitcase?
Youye squatted down and picked up the backpack through his gloves. It was very light in his hand. When he opened it, he found that there was nothing inside except an old postcard.
He took out the postcard and took a look at it. The postmark was from 20 years ago, and the content of the postcard was "What a lovely story. When I write such stories in the future, I will name the heroine after you."
The recipient's name was Jun Oota, and the sender's name was Kyogo Hira.
Apart from this, there is nothing else.
Yuya stood up and looked at the suitcase again - it was really big, big enough to put a person in it.
Alone? Youye narrowed his eyes, turned his head to look at the balcony, thought for a while, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. So that's how it is.
Then he turned and left.
Miyano Shiho saw Yuya coming out and quickly asked, "How is it?"
Yuya smiled faintly: "It's almost time, let's go find Conan and the others first."
Miyano Shiho nodded.
The two returned to Sera Masumi's room together.
The door was not closed. When I walked to the door, I heard Mao Lilan telling everyone the plot of the novel "The Telephone, the Sea and Me" by Kyōgo Hira.
Yuya had no interest in the novel, but one of the names caught his attention.
"The heroine's name is also Oota Jun?"
Hearing Yuya's voice, everyone turned around to look.
Conan asked anxiously: "Did you find anything?"
Yuya nodded, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Mao Lilan: "Are you sure, Xiaolan, the heroine of that novel is called Oota Jun?"
Mao Lilan nodded affirmatively: "Of course, that novel is quite interesting. I have read it several times!"
"What is the novel about?" You also became interested. It was interesting that the recipient of a postcard from twenty years ago had the same name as the heroine of the current popular novel.
When it comes to novels, Mao Lilan immediately became interested and didn't care at all that she had just talked about it.
Conan was a little anxious. He hadn't made any progress yet. How could he have the energy to listen to the novel?
"The Phone, the Sea and Me" tells the story of a girl who found a new mobile phone on the beach that she had planned to buy but had not yet been released.
I used this phone to receive a message from a mysterious person, who not only accurately guessed the heroine's identity as a high school student, but also predicted several major events that would happen in the next few days.
It is very clear at this point that this mobile phone comes from the future, and that mysterious man also comes from the future.
The heroine learned about the future from a mysterious man, that the world will suffer a huge disaster, so she tried to change the future little by little.
During this process, the heroine asked again and again who the other party was, but the mysterious man never told her, and just repeatedly answered "the phone, the sea and me."
This answer left the heroine confused, but in the recent story, the heroine seemed to understand the meaning of this code and began to reply to the other party with the same words.
The answer to this code will be revealed in the final chapter to be published soon.
"Phone, the sea and me..." Youya crossed his arms with a sad smile on his face, "This is really a code that only a child could come up with."
Mao Lilan was surprised: "Yuya, do you know what the code means? What is it?"
Yuya smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, let's solve the case in front of us first."
"The answer to this code and the story behind it will probably make the murderer regret his whole life."
Ran Mouri showed a confused expression and couldn't help but look at Suzuki Sonoko, who had no idea what was going on.
Miyano Shiho shrugged helplessly. Is this a common problem for detectives? No matter when or where, especially when they are about to solve a case, they like to be riddlers the most.
