Chapter 0987: Divine Punishment at the Time of the Earthquake
Sunday, December 2nd, morning, Rice Flower Park.
The Junior Detective Corps learned about the robbery incident from Officer Takagi, and in the early hours of the morning, the ambulance crew received a call that someone had been injured here.
There was an earthquake in Iwate Prefecture in the early hours of this morning, and there was also a tremor in Tokyo, and the ambulance staff thought it was caused by the earthquake, but when they came over, they found that the door of the injured person's house was wide open, and the house was still overturned, so they called the police while taking the injured away.
Since it could have been a robbery murder, the incident fell into the hands of the search lesson.
Conan asked, "Officer Takagi, do you know who called the ambulance?"
Officer Takagi said, "I only know that I use a nearby public phone, and I don't know who it is." β
Mitsuhiko said, "Officer Takagi, did you ask anything?"
Officer Takagi smiled, "Not at all, maybe the injured person was injured because of the earthquake, not an incident." β
Yuan Tai smiled: "How come? Let our young detective group help you." β
Gray Yuan yawned, "You guys play slowly, I'll go back to catch up on sleep." β
"Don't go. Ayumi grabbed Ashbara, "This is a collective action." β
"That," Officer Takagi changed the subject, "I heard that there was a theft at the Teidan Shrine, and a thief was punished when he tried to steal incense money, which is very interesting, so let's go and see it first." β
Hearing the divine punishment, Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi immediately became interested, and pulled Conan and Gray Yuan to go and see, which made Officer Takagi breathe a sigh of relief. β¦β¦
Teidan Shrine.
The young detective group inquired about the old priest who looked to be in his seventies, and learned that a person came to steal incense money in the early hours of this morning, but at that time there was an earthquake, which happened to shake the wishing bell on the incense cabinet, and the bell smashed on the thief's head and knocked the thief unconscious, and the priest got up in the morning and easily caught the unlucky thief.
Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi laughed when they heard this, and Gray Principle asked, "Since you got up in the morning, you didn't see him commit the crime, so how do you know that he is a thief?"
"He said it himself. The priest smirked.
"What!" Conan was taken aback, and then asked, "Did he steal anything then?"
The priest smirked, "He didn't steal anything, this is the power of God." β
Gray Plains glanced at the dilapidated shrine, "What do you have here to steal?"
The priest raised two fingers and smiled proudly: "200,000 yen, I don't know which kind person it is." β
"What!" all five members of the Junior Detective Corps were taken aback.
The priest said, "Well, I can't talk to you anymore, goodbye." ββ¦β¦
After reading the news, the Junior Detective Team went back to Rice Flower Park to look for Officer Takagi, only to find that Officer Takagi was not there. β¦β¦
Before noon, when the Junior Detective Group was about to go home, they found Officer Takagi passing by with a pair of young men and women, and the man was still wearing bandages on his head, so he followed, and learned from Officer Takagi that the man's name was Takeo Takenaka, and the woman's name was Yuki Togawa, and it was his fiancΓ©e.
When Takeo Takenaka came home in the early hours of this morning, he found that his home was in chaos, and he thought it was the cause of the earthquake, but he thought that a masked man suddenly jumped out and was ready to run away from the door.
Without thinking too much, Takeo Takenaka stepped forward to grab the masked man, but he was pushed, because he was wearing slippers, he was pushed down, and then the back of his head hit the wooden armrest of the sofa, and then he fell unconscious, and woke up in Kurokawa Hospital. β¦β¦
Takeo Takenaka's house.
When Officer Takagi and his entourage arrived, the forensic officers were working inside, waiting for more than ten minutes before entering.
Takeo Takenaka carefully inspected the room and said to Officer Takagi, "Officer, it's 200,000 yen less." β
"Exactly 200,000 yen?" asked Officer Takagi.
"Yes," said Takeo Takenaka, "it was for marriage." β
"I see. Officer Takagi said, "Then this is an attempted murder by robbers." β
Motota said, "It's another 200,000 yen. β
Mitsuhiko said, "It's the same as the incense money at the Teidan Shrine. β
Conan reminded, "Officer Takagi, you'd better go over and have a look." β
"What?" Officer Takagi didn't understand.
Gray Yuan said angrily: "One is less than 200,000 yen, and the other is more than 200,000 yen." β
"No kidding," Officer Takagi laughed, "who would snatch it at the risk of murder...... Uh......" Speaking of this, Officer Takagi reacted and immediately ran, and the detective team followed.
On the way, Ayumi asks Ashbara, "What's going on?"
"Ask the one next to you. Gray Hara motioned for Ayumi to ask Conan.
Conan speechlessly rolled his eyes at Ashbara, and then asked Ayumi, "Don't you think that thief is weird?"
Genta asked, "What's so strange?"
Conan asked, "He doesn't have any stolen goods on him, and when he wakes up, he can do nothing as long as he doesn't say anything, so why would he say that he is a thief?"
Mitsuhiko said, "I guess I was influenced by God." β
"yes, yes. Ayumi said.
Conan asked, "So, between a small mistake and a big mistake, which one would you choose?"
Yuan Tai said: "Of course it's a small mistake. β
Mitsuhiko said, "Ah, you're saying that he has committed a more serious crime and wants to cover it up through this. β
Conan laughed, "That's right. β
"A more serious crime?" Ayumi reacted, "Is he the robber?"
"Wouldn't it?" asked Yuantai suspiciously, "Didn't he get knocked out by the wishing bell during the earthquake?
"I see. Mitsuhiko smiled, "He said it himself when he was knocked unconscious during the earthquake, and no one saw it." β
"I know that too. Ayumi smiled, "After he pushed Mr. Takeo Takenaka down, he thought that Mr. Takenaka was dead, so he ran away in a panic, and when he passed by the Teidan Shrine, he thought that it would be better to be a thief than to be a prisoner of a robber murder." β
Motota said, "Oh, so he threw the stolen money into the incense cabinet and woke up and said he was a thief." Then he asked, "But since he wasn't knocked unconscious during the earthquake, how did he faint?"
Mitsuhiko laughed and said, "Of course he smashed it himself." β
"Ahh
Ayumi laughed and said, "I think he must have asked the gods to bless him through this difficulty." β
"Not only that, but also bless the man not to die, the crime of robbery and homicide is more serious than the crime of robbery. Conan laughed, "If I'm not mistaken, he was the one who called the ambulance." Since Officer Takagi didn't find the person who called the ambulance nearby, this person didn't live nearby but was a passerby, and the person who was still on the road in the early hours of the morning was probably a robber. β
Ayumi smiled: "Heh, it feels so hard, it's all night shifts." β
Mitsuhiko asked, "But how did he know that there was no one in the room?"
Motota said, "It must have been watching. β
"Isn't there an earthquake?" Conan laughed, "he just has to look at the lights." β
Ayumi said: "By the way, a room with lights on is someone, and a room without lights is no one." β
"I didn't turn on the lights, I slept until dawn, and I didn't know that there was an earthquake in the morning," Yuan said. β
Mitsuhiko smiled: "If you meet someone like Yuantai, you are even less afraid of robbers." β
Gray Yuan said: "Okay, it's just ahead, let's go." ββ¦β¦
Officer Takagi learned about the situation from the priest, and then took the 200,000 yen to do a fingerprint test, and it turned out to be Takeo Takenaka's money, and there were also the thief's fingerprints on it, and the footprints on the floor of Takeo Takenaka's house also matched the footprints of the thief, so it was determined that the thief was the murderer of the robber and wounding incident.
After interrogation, the prisoner's name was Rokusuke Urasawa, and yesterday he happened to see Takeo Takenaka withdrawing money from the ATM, and heard him call to say that he would go after the money was sent back.
When Rokusuke Urasawa came to Takeo Takeo in the middle of the night, it was an earthquake, and when he saw that Takeo's house was not lit, he confirmed that he had not returned, so he climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, and then found that there was a window that was not closed and climbed in, and when he didn't want to leave, he met Takeo Takenaka.
When Urasawa Rokusuke saw Takeo Takenaka coming to catch him, he pushed Takeo Takenaka hard in a hurry, and then found that Takeo Takenaka fell to the ground, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly escaped.
Rokusuke Urazawa was blown by the cold wind after going out, calmed down, took off his masked hat and wrapped his flashlight and stuffed it into a garbage bag, and then went to the phone booth to call an ambulance.
Rokusuke Urasawa wanted to run away with the money, but when he passed by the unlit Teidan Shrine, he thought of a solution, which was to be an incense thief, and he was an unlucky thief who attempted.
Rokusuke Urasawa put the 200,000 yen he had received in the incense cabinet, made a wish to the gods to bless the operation smoothly and the safety of the victim, and then took off the wishing bell and knocked himself unconscious.
The old priest of the Teidan Shrine found Urasawa Rokusuke when he woke up in the morning and came out of the backyard to clean up, and Urasawa Rokusuke was actually awake at that time, just waiting for someone to come.
Rokusuke Urasawa told the old priest that he was a cursed incense thief, and insisted that the old priest call the police to arrest him. β¦β¦
Later, Takeo Takenaka considered that Rokusuke Urasawa called an ambulance and maybe saved his life, and the money was also found, and said good things for Rokusuke Urasawa when he appeared in court, and Rokusuke Urasawa was finally sentenced to three years for robbery and wounding, and he hesitated for three years to execute.
