Saturday, August 11th, afternoon.

In the heat of a summer afternoon, Conan and Gray Yuan walk the street in search of the kitten's owner.

After inquiring all the way, finally, the owner himself appeared, a weak young man with glasses.

The young owner of the roadside coffee shop saw the kitten in Gray Yuan's arms through the glass, and hurriedly ran out to recognize the kitten.

The shopkeeper hugged the kitten and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, this is my cat, it suddenly disappeared just now, I have been looking for it for a long time." ”

"We found it on the tree, it had a slight injury to its right paw, and it was bleeding, so remember to go to the pet hospital for an injection to prevent infection," Gray Yuan said. ”

"Ahh The shopkeeper then noticed that the kitten had a handkerchief on his foot.

"You're so lenient. Conan said angrily to Graybara, and then asked, "Now, where is that person?"

"I saw him on this street buying cigarettes at the vending machine over there," Gray said. ”

Conan had a toothache, "And now?"

"Nonsense, how could I possibly know. Gray Yuan said irresponsibly.

Conan pointed at the gray plain with his fingers, so angry that he was a little injured and speechless.

The shopkeeper said, "By the way, as a thank you, please come to my store and have some cold drinks." ”

Gray Plains and Conan looked at each other and went in together, it was too hot, and they had been delayed for so long anyway, and they didn't care about a few more minutes.

However, when they entered the door, the two of them were stunned, the familiar noise, the voice of Maori Kogoro, he was boiling with blood.

"That's right, that's right, whip! Whip me! Rush! Rush!

The shopkeeper apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm arguing with you, I'll go and ask him to be gentle." ”

"No need. Conan walked into the store and saw the innermost card seat in Maori, jumping on the seat and riding a horse.

"Now, your daughter is looking for you to come home and clean up. Gray Yuan said amusedly.

Maori was immediately stunned, and fell from his seat, but fortunately he fell on the seat, not on the ground, and if he fell on the ground, he would be injured.

"Are you okay, guest?" the shopkeeper hurriedly ran over and helped Maori up.

Maori got up and asked, "I say, why are you two imps here?"

Gray Yuan chuckled, "Passing by to buy soy sauce." ”

"I came out to help Sister Lan buy cleaning supplies," Conan said angrily, "Uncle, you have something to do, you are racing horses here?"

"Ah, that ......," Maori said at a loss.

At this time, a fifty or sixty-year-old aunt ran in with a panicked face, "Boss, Mr. Yansan has an accident, come quickly." ”

The shopkeeper stepped forward and said, "Mr. Kanemaru, what's wrong?"

"Hah, isn't this coming?" Mori crossed over to the shopkeeper, "Hello, I'm Detective Mori Kogoro, what can I do for you?"

Gray Yuan chuckled at Conan, "Yours is really cunning. ”

Conan didn't speak, because he noticed that the shopkeeper behind Maori suddenly looked worried, just as Maori reported his name to his aunt.

The aunt said in a panic: "Ah, Mr. Maori, you have to help me testify, when I found Mr. Kensan, he fell to the ground and seemed to be out of breath, which has nothing to do with me." ”

Maori was taken aback, "What? Where are the people?"

"It's right across the street. The aunt pointed to the financial house opposite. ……

Kanemaru Thing.

When everyone came over, they saw a bald old man lying on the ground with his head down in a pool of blood on the ground on the ground on the floor and among the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, motionless.

The safe next to him was open, and there were some documents and some cash in it.

The broken porcelain piece looks like a beckoning cat, and there are many beckoning cats on the shelves in the house, all holding their right paws.

There was an obvious gap in it, and it must have been the broken beckoning cat on the ground.

"Everybody don't move. Mori went up to check and confirmed that the person was dead, then called the Twilight Police Department and confirmed that the time of discovery was 1:35 p.m.

Conan asked his aunt about the coffee shop owner's name was Ishigami Bao, 35 years old.

Her name is Fumie Imaoka, she is 65 years old, she is an hourly worker, she comes to clean once a week on Saturdays, and she came in at half past one in the afternoon today, as usual, and the body was found.

The deceased's name is Kenzo Kanemaru, who is 65 years old and has no relatives.

Fumie Imaoka, a housewife, said, "Mr. Kenzo is the president of this office, but in fact, he is the only one in this office, and he is a loan shark. ”

Gray Yuan asked, "Then, collecting these beckoning cats with their right paws is his hobby." ”

The housekeeper Fumie Imaoka waved her hand and said, "No, no, it's not his hobby, it's just his greed." ”

"Greed?" Conan asked.

"It was collected for the sake of greed for money. "As you can see, all the people gathered here are beckoning cats with their right paws raised. ”

Gray Yuan said: "I really didn't see the beckoning cat with its left paw at all." ”

"Why do you only collect beckoning cats with their right paws?" I used to wonder and asked him. "He said that raising his left paw is to attract people, and raising his right paw is to attract wealth." ”

Conan wondered, "Is there such a statement?"

"Who knows. Gray Yuan said.

He said that as long as you attract money, don't recruit people, and waste tea money. Fumieda Imaoka, a housekeeper, said, "In short, he is a miserly and selfish money-grubber. ”

Gray Yuan smiled and said, "No one, where did you get the money." ”

Conan looked around and didn't find anything abnormal, so he wanted to sneak into the president's office in the inner room.

"Be honest with me, don't run around the scene. Maori grabbed Conan and threw him out into the street.

After Conan's ass hit the ground, he screamed and got up, rubbing his buttocks constantly, "hot ......"

Gray Yuan laughed, the temperature of the concrete floor definitely exceeded fifty degrees, maybe more than sixty degrees, it is conceivable that Conan's ass is now hot and red, and it is estimated that there is a fight with the monkey's ass. ……

Soon after, the Twilight Police Department arrived with Officer Takagi and a large group of men.

"The police department. Maori saluted.

"You're out again. The Twilight Police Department said weakly.

Maori smiled dryly: "That, by chance, is completely a coincidence. ”

The Dusk Police Department sighed, "Seriously, what's going on?"

"That's right. Mori briefed the Mutsu Police Department about the coffee shop owner Ishigami Ho, the housewife Fumie Imaoka, and the deceased Kenzo Kanemaru.

"I see. The Twilight Police Department nodded.

At this time, the forensic staff sent a sticky note, which said that at half past twelve at noon, Chika Murai.

"Police, this means that Chika Murai must have come to visit at half past twelve at noon. "I think we should bring people in." ”

"Well," said the proprietor, Ishigami, "I have seen a fashionable, beautiful lady who entered the office at about half past twelve, and then left in a hurry at about twelve forty o'clock. ”

Mori said, "Police, it was 1:35 p.m. when we found Kenzo Kanemaru. ”

"The time of his death should have been more than an hour, which is exactly the time of Chika Murai's visit. ”

"Ten minutes is enough time to commit a crime. ”

"Ahem," corrected the forensic officer, "due to the weather, the time of death of the deceased is preliminarily determined to be between half past eleven at noon and about half past one in the afternoon. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Mr. Ishigami, are you sure you saw the time?"

The owner, Ishigami, said, "Yes, my coffee shop is just across the street, so you can see it. ”

The Twilight Police Department instructed, "Okay, Takagi, you take Mr. Ishigami back and draw a portrait of Chika Murai." ”

"Well," said the housemaiden Fumieda Imaoka, "if it's a borrower, Kenzo might have a picture here, and the thing is in the safe." ”

So, the forensic officer went to get the loan documents and asked Ishigami to identify them.

Then, the loan documents of Fumieda Imaoka were discovered.

Maori pondered: "The first person to find the body at the Twilight Police Department is often likely to be a prisoner. ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Fumieda Imaoka, a housewife, shouted in defense, "I do have a loan, but it's only 300,000 yen." ”

"And we have an agreement that I'll come and clean him once a week and get my interest waived. ”

"By the end of the year, I will be able to pay off the money, what motive do I have to kill him!"

Maori was yelled at and sweating, "Don't get excited, don't get excited, I'm just suspicious, suspicious." ”

Conan said angrily: "Uncle, the loan receipt, this is what she took the initiative to say, if she kills it, she won't say it." ”

"It's just suspicion," Maori was unhappy with Conan's demolition, "and all the people who have been to this house are the object of suspicion." ”

At this time, the owner of the coffee shop, Ishigami, found the loan receipt of Chika Murai, with a photo attached to it, a beautiful young lady.

Officer Takagi took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it back to the headquarters and explained the situation.

Soon after, news came that a woman named Chika Murai had surrendered to the airport police at Haneda Airport and was now on her way back to the headquarters.

The Twilight Police Department immediately asked Officer Takagi to greet him, and then said to Mori, "It seems that the murderer is Miss Murai." ”

Maori nodded and said, "It's really dangerous, she must have wanted to escape from the country, but fortunately, her conscience was finally discovered." ”

Conan frowned, is this really the case?......
