Saturday, January 8, market.

When Yamazaki found Hiroshi Ukita, he was shopping with a boss who sold sake pickles, so he waited until he got the goods he was satisfied with, and then he said hello.

"Hello, I'm from the Maori Detective Agency, can I delay you for a few minutes and talk to you?"

Hiroshi Ukita showed off the items he was purchasing, "I'm sorry, but you saw it too, I can't spare time right now." ”

"It's only a few minutes, and we can talk as we go," Yamazaki said, "Mr. Hiroshi Ukita, or rather, Mr. Shigehiko Uei." ”

"Uh......" Ukita Hiroshi was startled, then sighed, "So, let me write on my business card to get my fingerprints." ”

"Yes. Yamazaki asked, "Can we talk now?"

Hiroshi Ukita turned and left, "No, I don't think we have much to say. ”

Yamazaki followed, "I didn't have a recording device with me, so you can say whatever you want." ”

"Who knows?" asked Ukita Hiroshi rhetorically, and then said, "If you have evidence, arrest me, and don't harass me if you don't, but I think if you had evidence, you wouldn't be just following me all the time, so please stay away from me." ”

Yamazaki asked, "You know we're stalking you?"

"I've been a thief for a long time, but there are times when I'm in prison and I need to be vigilant. ”

"Underestimate you. Yamazaki asked, "But by saying this, are you admitting that you set up a scheme to lure Uncle Maori to your bar for a drink, and then attack him with the intention of killing him?"

Hiroshi Ukita said, "No. ”

"So, Mr. Kimura, is there really such a person?" said Yamazaki, "Although the police did not find the clerk who sold the mobile phone, it was a matter of time." ”

"So what? It has nothing to do with me. "I said, I can't remember such a guest. ”

"I understand you, when you buy a mobile phone, you must have put on makeup, such as wearing a coat that makes people can't see your figure, wearing a hat, a mask, and gloves, so you don't think you will be recognized. Yamazaki asked, "But how do you think we got our suspicions about you?"

"......" Ukita Hiroshi was silent for a moment, "I haven't done that, but I'm a little curious as to why you doubt me." ”

Yamazaki said, "Because the way you walk, the distance of your stride, and the size of your shoes just match the footprints left at the scene. ”

"That's it?" said Hiroshi Ukita, "I think there will be a lot of people who walk the same way as me." ”

"Indeed, there is insufficient evidence to identify you as a prisoner and you cannot be arrested. Yamazaki smiled, "It's just that you happened to be next to Uncle Maori, and you may not know that Uncle Maori's luck in terms of events is really ......."

Ukita Hiroshi laughed and said, "I'll listen to me." Then he said in a deep voice, "I've been in prison, and I've seen people related to Maori detectives somewhat. ”

Yamazaki asked, "Because of this, you plan to seek revenge on Uncle Maori?"

"I didn't. Ukita said, "Alright, don't follow me." ”

"I really didn't bring a recording device, and I didn't mean to deliberately trap you. Yamazaki said, "I just hope that I can resolve the grudge between you and Uncle Maori, grudges are not the whole of life, otherwise I am afraid that you will come to Uncle Maori for revenge as soon as you come out, instead of setting up a plot like this to assassinate Uncle Maori, you are also afraid of being caught again and returning to prison." ”

Hiroshi Ukita was a little angry, "Nonsense, I didn't set up a bureau to harm Maori at all. ”

"Well, judging from your familiarity with procurement, you have also worked seriously, I believe that you opened a bar to live a normal life, not deliberately aimed at the Maori uncle's bureau, because there are many ways to take revenge, you don't have to choose, first go to work and learn to run a bar, and then spend money to open a bar to layout, this high-cost revenge method. Yamazaki asked, "But after you met Uncle Maori, you triggered the old hatred of Uncle Maori who sent you to prison, right?"

"It's not like that. Ukita Hiroshi said angrily, and the raising of his voice temporarily sideways pedestrians on the street.

"What's that?" Yamazaki asked.

"Yes......" Hiroshi Ukita didn't say anything, and immediately reacted, but it was too late.

"What is it?" Yamazaki laughed, "I said, I don't have a recording device, you can say whatever you want." ”

"You're really cunning. Ukita Hiroshi smiled bitterly.

"It's fine. Yamazaki laughed.

Hiroshi Ukita sighed, "Let's go over there and talk about it." Then he took Yamazaki to the back alley.

Hiroshi Ukita lit a cigarette, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the cigarette, "Actually, I have already changed it back then. ”

"Do you mean you don't steal anymore?" asked Yamazaki, "That's when you learned how to run a bar?"

"yes, I had a crush on a girl, and I can't say, I'm a thief, right? Hiroshi Ukita recalled, "It's really not easy for people like me to find a formal job, I can't let people know that I have a criminal record, so I can only use a pseudonym, which can't stand up to inspection, so I can't sign a contract." ”

"Understood. "For those who had a criminal record in the past, the changes in social security and medical insurance were strictly supervised. ”

"People, you can't do bad things in this life, and you will end up with retribution on yourself. Hiroshi Ukita recalled, "It was hard not to sign a contract, the salary was less, and I had to have a girlfriend with less salary, but it was really fulfilling and happy during those days." ”

"And what about later?" Yamazaki expected, and he must have returned to his old business for the sake of wedding money.

Later, the two of us talked about getting married. Hiroshi Ukita recalled, "The wedding money was not much, but it was also a lot, and I didn't have any friends, and I didn't want to invite them, so after adding the bride price, the amount was still a little short, and I said I'll figure it out." ”

"Back to the old business. Yamazaki said.

"I don't want to borrow from loan sharks, and I don't have friends who can borrow money. Hiroshi Ukita said bitterly, "So I can only go back to my old business." ”

"As a result, Uncle Maori caught it. Yamazaki said.

"Maori was drunk that day, and he actually thought there were rats in the house, but because I hadn't been a thief for a long time, I became less courageous, so I came out on my own. Hiroshi Ukita shook his head and sighed, "At that time, I wanted to beg Maori to let me go once, but Maori was too drunk and couldn't listen to me at all, so he sent me to the police station directly."

"I see. Yamazaki couldn't laugh or cry.

"Next, you can think of it too. Hiroshi Ukita sighed, "As soon as my affairs were made public at my place of work, my boss fired me, and after my girlfriend was shocked, she found out that I had been lying to her, so she broke up with me directly and sent me only a letter." ”

"Be able to imagine. Yamazaki said.

"Ha, the previous mountain alliance and sea oath, saying that no matter what happened before, as long as the future days are good, the result is all false in the end. Ukita laughed at himself, "Sometimes, people's hearts are so realistic. ”

"There are also fantasy types," Yamazaki laughed, "but unfortunately, except in TV drama novels, they are only common in newspapers." ”

Hiroshi Ukita laughed and said, "Well, it's all stupid women who have been deceived." ”

"So," Yamazaki diverted the subject, "that's why you want to get revenge on Uncle Maori?"

"After going to prison, I wanted to take revenge on Maori at first, but after a long time, it gradually faded. Ukita Hiroshi sighed, "I'm also a regular visitor to the detention center, but compared to a short period of detention, a long prison life, alas, in short, I don't want to go in again, so then I gave up revenge, like you said, resentment, not the whole of life." ”

Yamazaki asked, "So, after you came out, you chose a familiar industry and opened a bar?"

"I don't do anything else but that, I greet guests every day, make small talk with them, listen to them complain, and I feel like I'm addicted. Ukita Hiroshi smiled with some satisfaction, "I learned a little more from people in prison, and after I came out, I opened my own bar, and as a boss, I am not afraid of being investigated." ”

Yamazaki said, "But Uncle Maori appeared in front of you, and you still couldn't help but do it." ”

"Maori, he doesn't know me anymore, Maori's drinking friend also said that Maori only came here because I had a reward there, and I didn't want to look for him for the past, so I just put up with it. Hiroshi Ukita said, "It's just ......."

"Just what?" asked Yamazaki.

Ukita Hiroshi clenched his fists and said, "That guy from Maori, drunk, is there chattering and complaining about how bad his wife is and how bad the New Year's dinner is." ”

"Huh?" Yamazaki was stunned.

"This bastard, who has a good wife like lawyer Fei Yingli, still complains there. Ukita Hiroshi said with envy, "It's so hateful." ”

"......" Yamazaki was speechless, daring to love Uncle Maori is to provoke the feelings of a bachelor, first destroy other people's marriages, and then say how his wife is in front of others, you know, even if you have a bad wife, you must have a wife first, which makes Hiroshi Ukita, a bachelor, embarrassed, so he was retributed.

"Ahem," Ukita Hiroshi reacted to what he had said, blushing a little, and said embarrassedly, "Well, it's not too early, I'll go first." ”

"Wait, one last question. Yamazaki said.

"Don't worry, I'm just hot-headed. Hiroshi Ukita left in a hurry.

Yamazaki scratched his head, and wanted to kill Uncle Maori in a moment of heat? Oh, he didn't want to rescue Aunt Fei Yingli from Uncle Maori, right?

Belch......

Yamazaki walks back to the parking lot and meets Mori, Officer Takagi, Ran, and Conan.

"Where have you been?" asked Maori casually.

"I'm going to follow Mr. Hiroshi Ukita. Yamazaki said.

"Didn't you find out, did you?" asked Officer Takagi.

"Uh," Yamazaki said after a moment's thought, "I talked to him for a while. ”

Maori was surprised, "What? You went to contact him?"

"What did you say?" asked Conan.

"Isn't there enough evidence to arrest him now?" Yamazaki said, "I'm afraid that he will take a risk and come directly to the uncle, so I want to mediate the conflict between him and the uncle." ”

"Hmph, what other contradictions," Maori said angrily, "isn't it just resentment that I sent him to prison back then? ”

"That," Yamazaki said amusedly, "it's not like you think, uncle, Mr. Ukita has already given up that grudge." ”

"Is this what he said?" Maori said angrily, "You are too naïve, he said you believed it?"

"No," Yamazaki said, "but he has a point." ”

"What's the reason? it's all a lie," Maori said angrily, "and he used the Lemon Bar event to trick me into going to the Lemon Bar to spend, and then find out my way home, and finally find an opportunity to attack me, which is his purpose." ”

"But Lemon Bar isn't a lie, his modus operandi is not a lie," Yamazaki said, "and if you say he doesn't have to spend a lot of money to get a bar, he doesn't have to spend a lot of time learning how to run a bar, just drink with you, and don't forget, you didn't recognize him all along." ”

"This ......" Maori had nothing to say.

"Makes sense. Officer Takagi asked, "And why?"

"Well, I can only say this to my uncle. Yamazaki laughed, and then whispered in Maori's ear, telling him about ruining Hiroshi Ukita's marriage and showing off his wife after drinking in front of Hiroshi Ukita.

Conan was itching to watch from the sidelines, what the hell was going on?

Maori was embarrassed to hear this, "No, isn't it?"

"Anyway, uncle, as long as you don't go to the lemon bar in the future, there won't be anything like this again. Yamazaki laughed, "He hinted that he wouldn't do anything to you again, so you shouldn't provoke him anymore." ”

Maori laughed dryly twice, but did not say anything.

"Well," Officer Takagi asked, "Mr. Mori, what the hell are you talking about, is there any clue?"

"No," Maori said quickly, "it has nothing to do with the incident, nothing to do with it." ”

"Huh?" Lan was a little curious about Maori's attitude.

"By the way, Officer Takagi," Yamazaki said, "I won't admit those words just now, please don't take them as testimony." ”

"Huh?" Officer Takagi was surprised.

"There is not enough evidence for this incident now, and as long as similar incidents do not happen again, I am afraid that there will not be enough evidence in the future, so I think it is best to end it here. "Of course, this is just advice, but I'm going to go back first." ”

"Well, let's go together. Maori said.

"Huh?" Officer Takagi hurriedly asked, "Mr. Mori, what about this incident?"

"I believe there are no more incidents. Maori looked at Hiroshi Ukita, who was carrying a large bag of things, and smiled knowingly, "There has never been any incident. He turned around and left. ……
