"O-Odana-sama!!" Takami-san shout in frantic and shock

the annex room has the old man lie dying with sickle pierce in his chest but in the sliding door has a slicing motion. Seiichi sigh look around the room while Kogorou told them to not enter the room he confirmed that the old man already died since rigor mortis hasn't set in yet, it's been less than 30 minute since he died

"But what the sickle doing in here?" Kogorou ask in confused,"I though the Gunma police were examine it"

"Since we examined it and found any blood when they examined it earlier,i though it was unrelated tot he case so iput it back  in the store house and sent forensic home" Yamamura-Keibu informed

"I see. so the culprit could have taken the sickle at anytime..." Kogorou say

Conan point something weird make them look at him and he point at the sliding door who cut with the sickle sticking out the old man, Yamamura-Keibu confirmed it true and he ask why there blood above the cut?

"A person bound to bleed if you cut them..." Yamamura-keibu say

Conan comment if there a blood on the door that mean  he stabbed the old man before cutting the door, and then stabbed the old man again

"Y-You right..." He say

"It's an act..." Kogorou ojii-san make them look at him,"to make it look like Kamaitachi really did it..."

Hattori enter the room turning on the light asking is it also in the act preventing the light from turning on, he explain that the annex breaker were swtiched off and there were a strange mark left where the culprit  entered 

"Strange mark?" He ask in confused

Hattori gestured them to go outside and he point at wehre the culprit enter since the glass is broken 

"So where the stranger mark?" Kogorou ask

"Those are footprint leading from veranda to the fence, but see how shallow semicircle of the snow had been duged out next to it?" Hattori ask pointing at the snow

Kogorou comment that maybe the culprit erased his footprint with the blade of the sickle but Hattori told them the real problem is lies beyond the fence

"Beyond it? You don't mean..." Kogorou trailed

"Take a look. The semicricle is end in here..." Hattori point and look at the outdoor bath,"in other word, when the culprit comitted the crime-"

"He ran across the water as if he was raiding the wind" Conan complete Hattori deduced

Seiichi who was in the back noticed the people disbelieve make him hummed covering his mouth with his phone who slowly turn into grin, Daigo-san shout about Kamaitachi 

"don't be stupid." Hattori say turning his cap,"this must be some kind of trick a flesh and blood human,of course"

'oh my~ it really turn into an intresting case but it's shame that it is a work of human...' Seiichi though

They go back to the inn only got asked by Ran and Kazuha that Kamaitachi is appeared make Hattori ask how did they know

"Yamamura-Keibu just come-" Kazuha say

"and told us..." Ran compelete Kazuha sentence

Tehy look at Yamamura-Keibu who write in his notebook that the suspect is Kamaitachi make them look at him deadpan, Hattori  tell them that it was just an idiot pretending to be Kamaitachi

"but wasn't it Kamaitachi that destroyed the room we decored?" Kazuha ask

"The fluorecent light suddenly shattered, and all the ballon we put up popped" Ran reasoned
