Thursday, September 5th, Muyao Day.

Before evening, the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Department searched the office of the Third Department of Forcible Criminals.

Officer Ren Saburo, Shiratori, who was reading the documents, suddenly rang on his mobile phone.

"Officer Yumi from the Traffic Division is looking for Takagi for dinner?" Officer Shiratori laughed, "I guess I want to enlighten him." Then he looked at an empty seat and said with a smile, "Officer Sato hasn't come back yet, so I shouldn't have time to go." Then he smiled again, "It's enough to do it twice, and it's too much to do it again, but isn't he going to stay in a hotel next time?" Find a way to introduce him to the quietest and most suitable hotel for review, and of course this will be the most expensive hotel." Then he said, "All right, that's it, I'll invite you to drink when I have time." ”……

Before five o'clock, Yamazaki, Conan, and Miss Noriko Okayani returned to the Maori Detective Agency.

Yamazaki asked Conan to take away the coffee that had already been cold on the coffee table without moving, and invited Miss Okayani to sit down on the sofa, then sat on the sofa opposite her, looked at the bell and asked with a smile, "Miss Okaya, it's less than an hour now, are you still satisfied with this result?"

"Very satisfied," said Miss Okaya, smiling, "Thank you very much." ”

Yamazaki asked, "Miss Okaya, so the commission has been completed, right?

"Yes. Miss Okaya smiled.

After a moment, Yamazaki smiled and said, "Miss Okaya, this is your receipt and the report of this commission, please take it." ”

"Okay, thanks. Miss Okayani got up and smiled, "Mr. Yamazaki, I'm leaving." ”

"Alright, Miss Okaya, please walk slowly. Yamazaki got up and laughed.

As soon as Miss Okaya went out, Conan said to Yamazaki, who was packing his things, "So, she came to us because that Kitagawa Qiangshi moved but didn't register, and she couldn't find him according to the license plate number." ”

Yamazaki left a note for Ran, saying that he had taken Conan to do the commission. Then he said to Conan, "All right, grab the binoculars, and let's go." ”……

Before half past five, the taxi that Yamazaki and Conan were in followed Miss Okaya, who was driving by themselves, to an unexpected place, the Rice Flower Cemetery.

Letting the taxi wait outside, Yamazaki and Conan followed Miss Okaya into the cemetery.

Seeing Miss Okaya standing in front of a tombstone, Yamazaki looked at it with a telescope, Tatsuo Yamaguchi, and then handed the telescope to Conan and said, "I'll go to the management office to check." If you can't, you go up and drag her down.

"Come back soon. Conan said.

Soon after, Yamazaki came back and said, "That Mr. Tatsuo Yamaguchi died in a car accident half a year ago. So it seems that there will be trouble for the American police officer again. Then he asked, "How is she?" and he took out his mobile phone and began to contact Officer Yumi Miyamoto.

Through the binoculars, Miss Okayani folded her hands, and Conan said, "What are you talking to him?" ”

"Hey, Officer Yumi, I'm Yamazaki. I'm sorry, can I trouble you a little more?" asked Yamazaki.

"What's the matter? Officer Yumi said, "I'm going to leave work soon." ”

"There is a twenty-nine-year-old man named Tatsuo Yamaguchi, who died in a car accident half a year ago, and I would like to ask you to help investigate, this car accident may be related to Kitagawa Qiangshi, who I asked you to investigate just now. Yamazaki said, "By the way, he should have been in a car accident in another place, and now he is buried in the rice flower cemetery, so it should be easier to check." ”

Officer Yumi asked, "Where are you now?"

"Rice Flower Cemetery," said Yamazaki, "I am following the client, Miss Noriko Okaya, and I now suspect that she is going to take revenge on Mr. Kitagawa Tatsushi for the death of Mr. Tatsuo Yamaguchi." ”

"What!" Officer Yumi asked, surprised, "why do you say that?"

"Miss Okayani only asked the office to investigate Mr. Kitagawa's address, and the only clues provided were his name, license plate number, and a portrait of his hand, which means that they only met by chance, so they didn't even have a photo. Maybe it was just a passing car, and the names were later found out from the Ministry of Transportation according to the license plate number. "If it was love at first sight, we should at least be asked to investigate Mr. Kitagawa's marital status, so I speculate that Miss Okaya may have come to seek revenge." ”

"Okay, I'll find someone to check it out for you right away. Officer Yumi said.

"Thank you, Officer Yumi. Yamazaki laughed, "I owe you a big meal." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"Hey, Yamazaki," asked Conan, "you just said that you were passing by, could it be that Miss Okayani was sitting in Mr. Yamaguchi's car at the time? Didn't you say that she was sick and quit, could it be that she was so badly injured in that car accident that she couldn't go to work?"

"You have a point. It seems that this Miss Okaya did not die, and then she has been recuperating in the hospital, so she has not come to take revenge until now. Yamazaki laughed, "I thought she was waiting for some special day." ”

"A man came looking for her. Conan said, and after a moment added, "They had an unpleasant conversation, Miss Okaya left, and the man was talking to Mr. Yamaguchi's tablet, and it seemed that he knew something." ”

"I'll follow Miss Okaya, and you go over and talk to the man. Yamazaki said, "Something called my mobile phone. ”

"Okay. Conan nodded.

At around 5:45, Yamazaki walked out of the cemetery after Miss Okaya, and then got into a taxi waiting outside the cemetery and left with Miss Okaya's car.

On the other side, Conan stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, do you know that Noriko sister just now?"

The man asked, "Oh, kid, do you know Miss Noriko too?"

Conan pointed to the stele and said, "Uncle here, who is Miss Noriko?"

"This is her fiancé," the man said, "and they were going to get married, but they had a car accident and Miss Noriko was seriously injured." Then he introduced himself, "I'm Miss Noriko's attending doctor, and my name is Saeki. Then he asked, "What's your name, little friend?"

"My name is Conan Edogawa and I'm a detective. Conan said, "I'm Detective Kogoro Mori's assistant. At the same time, he sighed in his heart, there is still no salary.

"Detective?" said Mr. Saeki with a smile, "it's really incredible, I didn't think that a famous Maori detective would find a child to be his assistant." ”

Conan asked, "Uncle Saeki, can you tell me how Miss Noriko got into a car accident?"

"I don't know the specifics, I just happened to hear a conversation between her and the police. Mr. Saeki said, "Miss Noriko said that there was a car that was deliberately provoking them, at first following them and constantly honking the modified horn, then serpenting in front of them, and then they couldn't bear it anymore, so they overtook the car in front, and finally tried to get rid of the car......"

"And what did the police say?" asked Conan.

"The police said that there were tire prints on two cars at the scene, and they would go to find the car, but even if they were caught, they would not be sentenced to a heavy sentence, so please be mentally prepared for Miss Noriko. They said that there were no signs of collision between the two cars, so the main person responsible for that crash was Mr. Yamaguchi himself, as he was driving over the speed limit and then negligently. Mr. Saeki said, "The police also asked Miss Noriko if she knew the license plate number, and Miss Noriko said that she didn't see it clearly, and she didn't know." ”

Conan asked, "By the way, Uncle Saeki, what were you talking about?"

Mr. Saeki said, "Because of the car accident, Miss Noriko was seriously injured and had multiple fractures, and her body has just recovered a few days ago, so I am persuading her to go back and rest more." ”

The body just happened to come to the car owner with the license plate number seen in the car accident, because it wanted to take revenge on the car owner. Conan asked, "Uncle Saeki, do you have a mobile phone?"

"Why, little detective, do you need to report the situation?" Mr. Saeki laughed, "come with me, I'll leave it in the car." ”……

On this side, Yamazaki followed Miss Okaya to an apartment building not far from the Rice Flower Cemetery. Yamazaki looked at the street sign and recalled the address that Miss Okaya had filled in on the request form, and understood that this was the apartment building where Miss Okaya lived.

While waiting downstairs in his apartment, Yamazaki receives a call from the Traffic Division from the U.S. police officer.

"It was found that there was such a car accident half a year ago, and the responsible person was the deceased Mr. Tatsuo Yamaguchi himself, and the cause of the accident was speeding. Officer Yumi said, "The file says that his companion, Miss Noriko Okaya, said that he did this because of someone else's provocation. However, although there were tire prints on the two cars at the scene, there was no sign of collision, so the accident was completely an accident caused by uncalm driving. In addition, Miss Okaya said that she did not see the license plate number, so the police did not find the provocative car owner. ”

Seeing that Miss Okaya came out with only a square barrel that seemed to be filled with gasoline, Yamazaki asked, "Was Mr. Tatsuo Yamaguchi burned to death?"

"Yes, the car overturned and leaked, and it was not rescued. Officer Yumi said, and then asked, "Wouldn't that provocative owner be Mr. Kitagawa Takeshi?"

"Yes," Yamazaki smiled as Miss Okaya put the bucket in the trunk of the car parked on the side of the road and then went back to the apartment building, "Officer Yumi, thank you, you can go to dinner." ”

"Wait a minute. Officer Yumi said, "How can I eat this way, you wait a while, Miwako will be here soon." ”

"No, Officer Yumi," Yamazaki said with a smile, "if your police intervene, my client may become a criminal who has attempted murder, so you can eat in peace." With that, he hung up the phone.

"Hey, hey. Officer Yumei hung up the phone and said angrily, "This kid, dare to hang up with me." Then he said to himself, "No, it's better to inform Miwako and let her take a look." With that, he contacted Officer Miwako Sato, told her about the matter, and reported Yamazaki's mobile phone number to her.

Then, when Miss Okaya came out of the apartment building again with her bag, Yamazaki received a call from Officer Sato.

"Yamazaki, I'm Sato, where are you?" Officer Sato said, "Don't act rashly, I'll be there right away." ”

"I'm downstairs from Miss Noriko Okaya's apartment, which is the Rose apartment. Yamazaki smiled, "Officer Sato, if you want to come, don't use your identity as a policeman." ”

"I'm a police officer," Officer Sato said, "and that's my job." ”

"Then you don't want to come. Yamazaki hung up the phone after speaking. Then he said to the driver, "Please continue to follow that car." ”

"All I can say is as much as possible. "It's off-duty time, so it's hard to guarantee." Then he asked, "Sir, take the liberty of asking, who are you?"

"I'm half a detective," Yamazaki laughed, "The person I was talking to on the phone was Officer Yumi Miyamoto from the Metropolitan Police Department's Traffic Division, and she, you should have heard of her, right?"

"Yes, yes. The driver smiled, "I'm relieved." As he spoke, he started the car.

At this time, Conan sat in the back seat of Mr. Saeki's car and used his mobile phone to contact Yamazaki.

"Hey, Yamazaki, brother. Conan said, "Everything is clear, where are you now?"

"I'm downstairs from Miss Okaya's apartment. I'm clear about it, and Officer Sato knows about it, she's rushing to me. Yamazaki said, "And Miss Okayani seems to be going to Mr. Kitagawa Tatsushi's house soon." ”

Conan laughed, "You lied to Officer Sato, be careful that she cleans you up." ”

"I didn't lie to her. Yamazaki smiled, "Okay, now it's all left to confirm our conjecture, as long as she goes to Kitagawa Qiangshi's house, it means that our reasoning is correct." Then it's over. ”

"That's what I thought, too. Conan laughed, "I'll see you later." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Mr. Saeki smiled, "Is the report finished?"

"Thank you, uncle," Conan smiled, "Uncle, can you take me somewhere, and Miss Noriko will go there too." As he spoke, he reported the address of Beichuan Qiangshi's house.

"No problem. Mr. Saeki smiled, "Sit down and watch out for the cactus." ”

Looking at the three pots of cacti next to him, Conan asked, "Did you buy this?"

"That Mr. Yamaguchi loved cacti and raised them a lot, and after he died, Miss Noriko asked me to take them home and take care of them. Mr. Saeki said, "Although Miss Noriko can be discharged from the hospital now, she still needs to recuperate, and I am going to return those cacti to Miss Noriko one after another, so that she can have something to relieve her boredom." ”

"By the way, Uncle Saeki," Conan asked, "how did you know that Noriko is here?"

"Miss Noriko's apartment is nearby. Mr. Saeki said, "I saw that she was not there, so I came to see her." ”

"I see. Conan smiled, "Thank you, uncle, for telling me so many things." ”……

Around half past six, outside Kitagawa Qiangshi's house.

When Noriko Okaya's car and Yamazaki's taxi arrived, Mr. Saeki and Conan had not yet arrived, let alone Officer Sato.

Yamazaki got out of the cab and walked up behind Miss Okayani, who was taking a square bucket from the trunk of the car, and coughed softly.

Miss Okaya was shocked, then slowly turned around and was surprised to find that it was Yamazaki, "It's you!" and then asked in some panic, "Why, why are you here?"

Pointing to the taxi not far away, Yamazaki smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Okaya, I've been following you." The enmity between you and Mr. Tatsuo Yamaguchi and Mr. Kitagawa Takashi and Mr. Kitagawa has also been investigated by the U.S. police officer. Now Detective Sato is going to your house, but she'll be here soon. Then he persuaded, "Stop it, Miss Noriko Okaya." ”

"Why?" Miss Okaya asked with tears in her eyes as she looked at Kitagawa Qiangshi with the lights on, "Why did you stop me?"

"I want to ask you why, Miss Okaya?" said Yamazaki, "If you kill Mr. Kitagawa, you will also be caught, is it not good to live well?, and the main cause of the accident is that Mr. Yamaguchi is speeding......"

"It's because of him, if he hadn't provoked, how could Danan be like this. Miss Okaya snapped, "I must get justice for Tatsuo." ”

"Justice?" Yamazaki smiled, "So who will get justice for you?" Miss Okaya, Mr. Yamaguchi doesn't love you......

"You're talking nonsense!" Miss Okaya exclaimed in exasperation.

"Will the person with the beautiful woman in the car be the one who loves the beautiful woman around him?" Yamazaki said, "He doesn't care about your personal safety at all, and he still says anything about love, so you were deceived by him." ”

"No, it won't. Miss Okaya exclaimed, "Tatsuo won't lie to me." ”

Yamazaki smiled, "That's true, Miss Okaya, otherwise Mr. Yamaguchi wouldn't have died, and you wouldn't have lost your job due to serious injuries and fell into hatred." If Mr. Yamaguchi had loved you and put you first, he would not have been speeding, this accident would not have happened, and you would be living happily together now. ”

"No, it won't. Miss Okaya sat down on her knees and cried, "You're talking nonsense. ”

At this moment, a white Mazda came speeding up and came to a sharp stop next to Yamazaki, and Officer Sato got down from it.

"Yamazaki, you lied to me. Officer Sato said, then asked strangely, "What's going on?"

"Officer Sato, I was there at the time, so I didn't lie to you. Yamazaki laughed, "And this, didn't you see this? This young lady is crying here." ”

Looking at the trunk of Miss Okaya's car, Officer Sato pointed to the square barrel and asked, "Is this gasoline?"

"How do I know this?" Yamazaki smiled, "Alright, Officer Sato, nothing has happened here, so you can go eat with peace of mind." ”

Looking at Miss Okaya, and then at Kitagawa Qiangshi, Officer Sato said, "Remember to call the police next time." With that, he got in the car and left.

As soon as Officer Sato left, Mr. Saeki's car arrived.

Conan got out of the car and asked, "What's going on?"

"Hit her a blow. Yamazaki asked, "How did you get here?"

"Traffic jams. Conan said helplessly.

Mr. Saeki, who had just gotten out of the car, found that it was Miss Okayani who was kneeling on the ground and covering her head and crying, and immediately exclaimed, "Miss Noriko!" stepped forward to help her up, and then found that Miss Okaya was crying and turned her head to lean on her shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to hold Miss Okaya.

"This is Dr. Saeki, the attending physician after Miss Noriko's car accident. Conan asked, "How did you hit her, how did you cry like this?" ”

"Didn't she go to Mr. Kitagawa for revenge because she loved Mr. Yamaguchi so much?" Yamazaki laughed, "I told her that Mr. Yamaguchi would be speeding, and he didn't care about her, he didn't love her performance, and then she was like that." ”

Twitching the corners of his mouth, Conan whispered, "What does this have to do with love, Mr. Yamaguchi was just carried away by anger." ”

Yamazaki smiled and asked, "Who knows? Why don't you call him out and confront him face to face? Now that it's dark, he should come out to do something, right?"

Conan gave Yamazaki a pair of white eyes, and then asked, "By the way, that was Officer Sato's car just now, right?"

"Yes, she didn't hang a police light. Yamazaki smiled, "Okay, let's go, it seems that this place can be handed over to this Saeki-sama to come." ”

"That's right," Conan laughed, "I'm sure Mr. Saeki will take care of Miss Noriko." ”

Together, Yamazaki and Conan waved goodbye to Mr. Saeki, who overheard their conversation, and then left in a taxi with his grateful gaze. ……
