11. Unexpected?
Following.
"It seems that tomorrow is the day of the trial, right?" After school, after saying goodbye to the detective group, Xiaobai, Xiao Ai and Conan walked towards the office.
"Hmm. Conan nodded.
"There were some clues, but there was no key point in the whole thing. Conan continued.
"The key point is simple. Xiaobai said on the side.
"Huh?" Conan looked at Shiro.
"The victim and Usami went to the Mitsuki store so that all the key points could be connected. Xiao Ai said to the side.
"Hey, that's all speculation. Conan looked at Xiao Aizhong with a dead fish look.
"The intermediary between the three, Mr. Usami. It is undeniable that he had been in contact with the victim and had also been to his ex-wife's shop. Xiaobai said on the side.
"......" Conan had nothing to say.
"Well, if the victim was killed by Usami. And now that it has been confirmed that he has been to Meiyu, then he should tell the lawyer about the alibi. Little lamented.
"Conversely, if the victim was not killed by Usami. So, how did the victim get to the store? It can't be such a coincidence that he went there. Xiao Ai continued.
"So, Usami, as the middleman, is the key. Xiaobai chimed in.
"......" Conan glanced at Xiao Ai and then at Xiao Bai.
"What?" asked Xiao Ai, looking at Conan.
"You ...... singing harmony," Conan pointed to Xiao Ai, and then to Xiao Bai.
"......," Xiao Ai frowned.
"Ah, where did you just go...... Yes, Usami is the key. Looking at Xiao Ai's expression, Conan, who felt that something was wrong, hurriedly said.
"Usami took the victim to his ex-wife's shop, and then the two of them worked together to kill the victim, and then asked his wife to make an alibi for herself. Conan thought for a moment.
"No, maybe it's the opposite. When Xiao Ai seemed to agree, Xiao Bai put forward the opposite opinion.
"Yes, it seems that their relationship is not very good. Conan seemed to have something in mind.
"No, have you forgotten why Usami was considered a suspect?" asked, looking at Conan.
"Blood-stained iron pipes, car keys ......," Xiao Wai muttered to herself.
"Yes, car keys. When Xiao Ai and Conan seemed to think of it, Xiao Bai said.
"If it was to create an alibi for himself, the car keys showed that he was suspected of being at the scene of the victim's murder. This is contradictory. Xiaobai continued.
"So, of your four theories, there's only one. Xiao Ai thought of something and looked at Xiao Bai with a smile.
"For others. Conan also looked at Xiaobai.
Māori Detective Agency
"Hey, uncle is out?" The group arrived at the office, only to find that the second floor was locked.
"Isn't it going to drink anywhere again?" Conan said as he pulled out the key to open the door.
"That doesn't seem to be the case. The group walked in, and Xiaobai seemed to have discovered something.
"Pyeongtaek Incident Search Report. Conan walked up to Bai and looked at what he was holding.
"It looks like my uncle went to search, and I'm very interested. Xiaobai said as he gave the things to Conan.
"......" Conan, as for him, began to look through the search report.
"The victim had been to the Misaki. After reading it for a long time, he closed the report, and Conan said.
"Octopus skewers were dissected from the victim's stomach, which we ate yesterday. Conan said.
"Can you rule out any other octopus skewer shops nearby?" Xiaobai asked.
"This is something that must be investigated. Conan nodded.
"Someone's coming. During the discussion between Xiaobai and Conan, Xiao wailed.
Then, not long after, a solemn Maori walked in from outside.
"Uncle, the investigation has been hard. When Maori unconsciously walked to his desk, Xiaobai had already poured a cup of tea for Maori.
"Ah, thank you. Maori took it.
"Uncle, do you have any clue?" asked Conan, too.
"I've been to Pyeongtaek's house, and his home is very messy and has little value to search. But when I went to Usami's house, I found this. As he spoke, the uncle pulled out a box of matches from his pocket.
"Matches from the Miki shop. Conan, looking at the match on the table, said.
"Well, it seems that the murderer is Usami, and he can't escape. It is a hateful man to take Pyeongtaek to his ex-wife's shop, then get drunk and take him to a construction site not far away to kill him, and then return to the store to have his ex-wife give him an alibi. Maori seemed a little angry.
"Uncle, is there an octopus skewer shop near the Miki shop?" asked Kobaku to Maori.
"Well, it doesn't seem to be in my image, after all, the octopus skewers are almost the main signature of the Miki shop. Maori thought for a moment and replied.
"......" Then, Xiaobai and Conan glanced at each other, although the expression on Xiaobai's face never changed. However, Conan's confident expression was already evident at this time.
"Uncle, you must be summoning yourself so hard tomorrow as a witness for the concubine's lawyer. Conan looked at Maori with a smile.
"Hmph, that's not the case. I just got a little interested in this case. Moreover, if she wants me to be a witness, I will never go unless she comes to me. Maori clasped his hands in his arms, and did not overdo it.
"Dad, you happen to be here too, let's go to Mom's together." Outside the door, Xiaolan trotted in, and then saw the people present.
"Sister Xiaolan, I won't go. Xiao Ai and I walked around the neighborhood and went back to the doctor. Xiaobai said to Xiaolan.
"That's right...... Daddy, Conan, let's go. Lan trotted over to Maori, then picked up Maori and walked outside.
"Xiaobai, Xiaowai, be careful on the road. Then, when they came downstairs to separate, Xiaolan said goodbye to Xiao Ai and Xiao Bai.
"Be careful on the road. Xiao Bai and Xiao Ai said to Xiao Lan.
"Why don't you go?" I don't know where to go, and when I walked around, Xiao Ai asked Xiao Bai.
"It's fine to have Conan here. Xiaobai said.
"Do you think your uncle will be a witness for the defense?" asked Xiao Ai.
"I guess he's gone to Mi Taka for a drink by this time. And, if I'm correct, maybe tomorrow will be interesting. Xiaobai said.
"Huh?" Xiao Ai looked at Xiao Baizhong inexplicably.
"Tomorrow, we'll know. Xiaobai did not choose to answer Xiao Ai directly, but said.
"......" ignored Xiao Bai, and then walked towards Xiao Ai of the doctor's house.
