"Sorry to bother ~~"
"Sorry to bother ~~"
"Sorry to bother ~~"
Dozens of minutes later, the man, Hideo Goda, arrived at his apartment with the children.
"Wow, what a beautiful flower. As soon as she entered the door, Ayumi was attracted by the bonsai placed at the door.
"But the state of the flower seems to be a little wilted. The doctor asked, looking at the state of the flowers.
"This is the flower that my wife planted before she died, and although I change the water for him every day, it doesn't seem to last long. β
"So, Madame Zun must have passed away not long ago?" Getting an important piece of information, the doctor continued to ask.
"Yes, three weeks ago, my wife was involved in a traffic accident. Hideo Goda looked sorry.
"What is this?" The children, who had long been distracted, had already begun to explore the location, perhaps their so-called detective group was just to satisfy their own exploration of the unknown and the excitement of unknown events.
"Wow!!!That's great!" entered a special door, and Yuan Tai screamed and rushed in, it turned out that the room was full of video equipment.
With a huge TV, a huge stereo, remote controls for all kinds of equipment, disc boxes, and a dazzling array of promotional posters, it is simply a private cinema.
"With so much clutter, it's not surprising to lose one or two. Shiho complained softly about the extent of the chaos in the room.
"Hahaha, actually, only here will be a mess, after all, I'm here... β
Ding dong~
Before the words fell, the doorbell had already rang softly, and when I heard the sound, I looked up at Hideo Tian's face, only to see that he was a little nervous in his doubts, and even his heartbeat accelerated at that moment.
"I knew ... "Shaking my head slightly, I lost interest here.
"What did you find?" Shiho tapped me with the shoulder.
"Nothing. I shook my head. "It's just that I suspect something strange is going to happen here right now. β
"Huh?" Shiho didn't understand what I meant.
"Well... Just read on. "I don't care what might happen next. "Hurry up and find the watch, we'll go back when we find it." β
Just as I was about to go out to look in another room, Hideo Goda walked in with a woman who was too plump.
"What's going on with these little ghosts. "The fat woman was a little surprised to see a room full of children.
"Ah, I'm sorry. Hideo Goda hurriedly stepped forward and said to the children. "I'm sorry boys, could you please leave here and wait for me at the door. β
"Who's that person?" said the children who walked out of the room with a question mark on their faces. Yuan Tai asked directly and loudly
"Maybe it's an acquaintance or a friend. Mitsuhiko thought for a moment and said.
"Then, it should be the interest on the borrowed money, so let's borrow it here and see. Hahahaha. Before the children's doubts were finished, the woman had already given the answer and closed the door.
"Let's go to another room next, shall we?" Dr. Asasa also seemed to see that the fat woman was not on the same good relationship as she appeared to be with Hideo Goda, and hurriedly changed the subject.
"Well, let's go to the living room first. Hideo Goda put away the gloom on his face, and walked to the living room with the children helplessly.
"Kaoru, do you feel that something is wrong? Conan's detective sense of smell suddenly came online, turned around and whispered to me.
"Just a little?" I grinned. "Something is wrong, right?"
"So, what did you find?"
"No, but my gut tells me something will happen here soon. But I wasn't interested, and I didn't want to participate. β

ββββ the taste of orchid, the taste of lavender, the taste of home, the wings of the angel, the wings of the devil, the wings of the guardianββββ
"I'm so hungry, why haven't I found it all afternoon. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is almost sunset, and the children have worked hard for an afternoon but have no gain, and the only gain is probably only the amount of exercise in this afternoon.
"I searched for the afternoon but couldn't find the watch. Ayumi said, rummaging through the corners of the room.
"On the contrary, the sound of Obasang watching the movie is getting louder and louder. Conan squinted and complained.
"Hahaha, it's really hard for you, in that case, I'll make a sandwich for you, don't look at me like this, I used to be the manager of the cafΓ©, and I have prepared the materials and everything. β
"Really, great!" This kind of thing is naturally Yuan Tai's happiest.
"Well, let's look for the sandwich before it's ready!" In return for the afternoon tea, the doctor cheered up the children and asked them to look for it again.
After another forty minutes passed, Hideo Goda walked to the living room with a plate full of sandwiches.
"Come on, okay, just eat it~" Hideo Goda's craftsmanship really didn't say. The sandwiches served are indeed cafΓ©-made. "By the way, I wonder which child would be willing to help me deliver one of them to Miss Izuki who is watching a movie?"
"Then I'll go. Conan volunteered.
"I'll go, I'll go. Ayumi took the initiative to follow.
"Ah, please. β
"Oh, that's interesting. Picking up a sandwich, the corners of my mouth curled slightly.
"What's wrong?" Shiho also picked up the black tea and whispered to me.
"He is the host, how can he ask the guests to help deliver afternoon tea. I glanced at Hideo Goda, who was still telling Conan, and said slowly.
"You're saying he did it with a purpose?" Shiho understood what I meant.
"Maybe you need a witness? Who knows. I spread my hands and tossed the last sandwich into my mouth. "Witness, witness what?"
"Witness that the woman watching the movie is still alive now. β
"Huh?"
"I always felt a little strange, obviously I was looking for a detective, why I immediately flinched after hearing my father's name, but when the junior detective group appeared, he agreed to let such a large group of people help him find something. β
"Maybe it's because I'm afraid your father is bidding too high? After all, he's just looking for a watch, so why bother with such a famous detective. β
"Well, it makes sense. I nodded. "But I don't understand it that way, and I feel that he just wants to find someone to be a witness, a witness... β
Click!!
Before the words fell, there was a loud noise in the movie room just now, like the sound of broken ceramics.
Hearing this, the children hurried over.
Da Da Da ... Bang!
Strange sounds came from afar. It seems to be the sound of running, and the sound of the door. And when we felt the source of the sound, what we saw was a bloody corpse lying on the ground, it was Miss Izuki who came to see the movie. At this time, beside her, a broken vase, the pink flowers before, were like petals at a funeral at this time, one by one, sprinkled on the ground.
"Probably... This is called a witness. Looking at the corpse in the room, as well as Conan, who had already stepped forward to investigate, and Hideo Goda, who hurriedly went to make a call, I twisted my neck and pulled Shiho out of the scene. "In order to give himself a testimony of an alibi. β
γγγ
About half an hour later, the police arrived in a hurry. It's still Officer Twilight and Officer Takagi who came, and Tiger Girl seemed to have other tasks, so she didn't come with her this time.
"Judging from the scene, the murder weapon should be this vase filled with water and flowers. After a long time of investigation, Officer Takagi began to summarize the scene.
"I think the prisoner must have taken the vase in the hallway, snuck up behind the victim, hit him in the back of the head, and fled in a hurry. β
The victim's name was Eiko Idezuki, 46 years old, who also lived in this apartment. β
"Hmmm... After learning some information, Officer Twilight began his own questioning. "As far as I know, Mr. Hideo Goda is probably the owner of this house, right?
"I... I borrowed a sum of money from her a while ago, and today she is here to collect the money. Hideo Goda replied one by one. "But after I lent her the money, and the video she had always wanted to watch, she said she wanted to watch it right away, so I lent her the room. β
"And this aunt also turned on her voice so loudly that she was so noisy. Just as Hideo Goda was about to continue, the children, who had been observing for a long time, finally found an entry point.
"Eh, why are you here? Officer Takagi saw a group of seven people.
"Ah, we were commissioned by Mr. Hideo Goda to help him find a watch. β
"Commissioned children?" said Officer Twilight, his face full of confusion.
"Hmm... Originally, I wanted to find Mr. Mori, but he refused. That's when I accepted the help of Dr. Asasa and the children. β
"Is that so? In other words, Brother Maori is not here today. Officer Twilight said, holding his cheeks. It seems that he deliberately wanted to find his father to talk about things.
"Why, are you going to ask Mr. Maori for help?" asked Dr. Agasa.
"Ah, no. It has nothing to do with this case. Takagi hurriedly waved his hand, "We just wanted to confirm something else with Mr. Mori." β
"Anything else?" I turned my attention for a moment. I asked Officer Takagi with his eyes, but Officer Takagi didn't say. Instead, he continued to work on the case at hand.
"Is there a secret?" I narrowed my eyebrows, but didn't ask any further.
"Kaoru, do you think something is wrong?" Conan leaned over to me and asked me.
"Yes. β
"Did you find anything?"
"Remember the footsteps and the sound of the door closing before we came in?"
"Well, I remember. β
"The only thing I can tell you right now is that the footsteps and the sound of the door closing are in this room, not going outside at all. In other words, the sound of the door closing was not the door of the hallway at all, but the sound that came from this room. β
"Nani?!" Conan was startled. "You're trying to say that the voice is fake?"
"It shouldn't be wrong, my ears won't lie to me, as long as the police investigate, maybe they can find out... β
"I'm sorry Mr. Hideo Goda, but I have another question for you. Before the words fell, I saw Takagi holding his notebook and asking Hideo Goda again a question. "Excuse me, when you visited Mr. Maori, did you see any suspicious people in the vicinity?"
"This... Not really. Hideo Goda shook his head.
"Is that so? Thank you. With that, Takagi lowered his head and continued to read his manual.
"Officer Takagi. I looked up at Takagi. "You've been talking about Uncle Maori since the beginning, excuse me, what's going on?" my gut told me that Takagi's attention to his father was definitely not that simple.
"This... Takagi grimaced, finally glancing at Officer Twilight's position, then crouched down and whispered in Conan's ear. "In fact, Officer Twilight and I both suspect that someone has been secretly investigating Mr. Maori recently. But we were still hesitant to tell him about it. β
"Oh, why?" I looked a little colder.
"We found that all the records of cases in the police station that Mr. Maori had assisted with in the past were missing. β
"Nani?!"
βγγγγγγ β
"Weird, isn't it?" Takagi continued. "What's even more strange is that all these records were suddenly sent back to the police station last night, and the sender did not pay for them. β
"When did this happen?" I asked, expressionless.
"I think it was after that bus robbery, the bomb robber you were involved in. β
