On Monday, March 23, in the afternoon, at a round table at the community park near the building where Kozaburo Hijikata's house is located.

When Mori woke up, Yamazaki and Conan helped Mori "recall" the reasoning he had just made.

"Uh-huh," Mori touched his chin and smiled, "Mr. Hijikata has always played positive characters, how can I say that, by the way, it's like that Ah Jin on Saturday." ”

"What?" Yamazaki didn't understand.

"The protagonist of the period drama of Toyo Day," Conan puffed up his triangular eyes, "the Toyama Kinshiro who eradicates evil." ”

"Okay, I'm going to find a place to celebrate, and you can go back by yourself. Maori said and ran away without waiting for Lan to react.

"This way," Lan reflexed, cried out, "Dad, if you dare to go to that kind of place, try it." ”

Yamazaki and Conan immediately got up and took a few steps back, distanced themselves from Ran. ……

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the Maori Detective Agency.

"Brother, your courier. Mei Daiko sent a flat package, "What's it?"

"Oh, it's a laptop. "It's convenient to use in the office, so you don't have to do anything when you're on duty." As he spoke, he opened the package, and inside was a laptop and two different computer books.

"That's a good one. Midaiko touched her chin.

"Don't think about it, the power supply in the class is in front, and if there is no power supply, this thing will not last long. Yamazaki smiled and asked, "Or are you going to charge electricity in front of the teacher?"

"Well, forget it. "I'm going back." ”

"I'll go with you, Mom should be back soon. Yamazaki said, "Lan, this thing will be put in the office, you can use it if you want, don't worry about it, the basic software is installed, if you lack anything, come and get the disc and install it yourself." ”

"Thank you so much. Lan laughed.

"There's nothing to thank you for. Yamazaki smiled, "If Auntie knew, she would definitely buy it for you." ”

"That's different. Lan laughed.

"Then I'll go first. Yamazaki took a computer book and left.

Miyamoto house, living room.

After Miyako Miyamoto returned, Midaiko and Kamiyamazaki handed in the report card for this semester that they got back in the morning.

“637，636。 Mimiko Miyamoto looked at the results of the mock exams between the two, "It seems that there is no need to make up classes." ”

Mei Daizi smiled: "Great, I'll go and ask what activities are in the garden." With that, he went back to his room.

Yamazaki handed over the evening newspaper, and on the front page of the newspaper, he talked about the events of the afternoon, and then sighed: "I feel the danger, it's a pity." ”

"It's normal," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "It used to be useful only because the target was an ordinary person, just imagine if you have killed an enemy soldier on the battlefield, then he will definitely give you a sense of danger, and you can't tell whether he is a murderer or not." In the end, it's just for you to use for self-protection, not for you to use as a detective. ”

"I know that I don't blame myself, I just feel sorry. Yamazaki said.

At this time, Mei Daizi came out with a smile, "Ha, Yuanzi said that her mother was going to find a dozen teachers for her, and asked me to find a way to save her." ”

Miyamoto Miko smiled: "There is an event at the end of the month that can save her, but if you don't tell her yet, you can let her work hard at home." ”

Midaiko asked, "What kind of event is it?"

"It's a party. Miyamoto Miko said, "I'll talk about it when the time comes." ”……

Later, Kozaburo Hijikata was sentenced to 15 years for homicide and two years for theft, for a total of 17 years. The crime of seal forgery was not established because there was no conclusive evidence. The crime of defamation involving Okita Ichi caused him to be rumored to have had an affair with Yumi Nagakura, which was a civil matter, and the client, Okita Ichi, did not ask a lawyer to appeal, so it was settled. ……

Tuesday, March 24, morning, Maori Detective Agency.

When Lan took the newspaper, he found a letter of entrustment in the mailbox.

"Mr. Kogoro Mori, the sudden letter is a bit abrupt, but I still get straight to the point, because a series of very strange things have happened in my family, so I very much hope that you, the detective, can help me solve the mystery. Although it is my home, it is actually an old bungalow that I inherited from my grandfather, a watchmaker, who passed away a few days ago. Strange things have happened every day since I moved into this house, and lately I've had the feeling that someone is spying on me, even though I'm just a detective novelist with little reputation, but I'm somewhat aware of it. It's been a few days since I moved here, but I can't even get to the kitchen on the wrong foot, so I'm writing a letter like this. Looking back now, I remember my grandfather saying to me on his deathbed that the bungalow he gave me was very special, and I have never forgotten this sentence. If you are interested in my business, please deign to the humble house, we sincerely look forward to your visit, Nakamura Cao. ”

After reading the letter, Mao Li said with a smile: "I think she is eighty percent of a talented woman in her twenties and thirties, but she is lonely. Miss Nakamura, you wait, I'll come here. ”

"What were you doing?" asked Lan.

"Work, of course work. Maori said quickly.

Lan asked, "By the way, I accidentally fell asleep while reading last night, and I didn't touch you, where did you go last night?"

Maori said: "I met a drinking buddy and had a few drinks together. ”

"Really?" Lan asked, then looked at Conan, "What did he say yesterday?"

"Uh," Conan said with a glance at Maori, who was glaring at him, "Uncle said, I can't drink Miss Towako." ”

"Shihezi," Lan said with his fists clenched and gritted his teeth, "Miss." ”

"Don't, don't, Lan, don't get me wrong, listen to my explanation," Maori hurriedly said, "She's just the proprietress of the restaurant, that's a formal place, really." ”

"Really?" Lan asked.

"Really, I was back before twelve o'clock yesterday. Maori said, then asked Conan, "You said yes, little Conan?"

"That's right. Conan said.

"By the way, what kind of laptop is this, right?" Maori pointed to the laptop on the cabinet and changed the subject.

Lan said, "This is the ...... Yamazaki put here."

"Oh. Maori changed the subject again, "I'm going to rent a car." With that, he ran away.

"Damn. Lan grumbled. ……

At eight o'clock in the morning, on the way to Nakamura's house, Maori rented a car.

Mori looked at Ran and Conan in the back row from the rearview mirror, "Really, why do you have to come along." ”

"Of course, it's to look at people like me. Lan said.

"The same person?" Maori didn't understand.

"Didn't that man say you get lost when you go to the kitchen?" Lan asked rhetorically.

"This ......," Maori said helplessly, "listen, don't disturb my work." ”

"Rest assured, rest assured. Lan laughed.

"Damn. Maori slammed on the accelerator and sped the car up.

Yamazaki, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw that the road ahead was uneven, and gripped the handrail with a smile.

"Ah, be careful. Lan was knocked out of his seat.

"Rest assured, rest assured," said Mori with a smile, "it's a nice day, and we can take it for a ride." ”

At ten o'clock in the morning, in front of an old bungalow in the mountain villa complex of Nishitama Town.

Maori braked suddenly, stopped the car, got out of the car and took a deep breath, "Ah, in the mild sun, in the early spring flowers, and the chirping of birds, it really makes people feel good." ”

Lan said angrily: "Speeding did not meet the traffic police, and it is indeed a good thing to be able to reach the destination safely." ”

"Really, look at this bungalow surrounded by nature's bushes. Maori said with a look of intoxication, "What a moody place." ”

"So......" Lan looked around, "It's really good here." ”

"However, it must be lonely for a woman to live here, Miss Nakamura, sorry to keep you waiting, my Mori Kogoro has arrived. Maori said and ran to knock on the door.

"I now finally understand why my mom doesn't want to feel like coming home. The green veins on Lan's forehead came out.

The door opened, and Maori was completely stunned when he looked at the man who came out, short and fat, with a small goatee on his round chin and a face.

The fat man smiled: "Ah, you are the Maori detective, thank you for coming, please come in, we can talk about it inside." ”

"Excuse me, are you the one who sent this letter?" Lan asked happily with a smile and took out the letter of entrustment.

"No," the fat man laughed, "the person who wrote this letter is ...... three years younger than me."

Maori perked up, "It's your sister, isn't it?"

"It's my brother, Ah Cao. The fat man laughed, "Didn't he say that he felt like someone was watching him? ”

A tall, thin man with bandages on his right hand and forearm came over and smiled, "Hello, I'm Nakamura Cao, Detective Maori, it's great that you can come." ”

"Ahh "Maori was completely deflated.

Yamazaki asked, "Excuse me, your hand?"

The fat man laughed, "Oh, he accidentally twisted it when he was helping me carry something." ”

The tall and thin man smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, it's just a slight sprain, it's the doctor who made a fuss and asked me to put a bandage." ”

The fat man smiled, "Come on, come on, come in anyway." ”

The tall and thin man said, "Yes, please come in." ”

When the two of them turned around, Yamazaki's left and right hands swung out at the same time and hit the back of their necks, causing them to fall.

"You ......" Maori and Lan were taken aback.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Yamazaki picked up the tall and thin man's right hand that was tied with the bandage, "Uncle, the bandage is not tied in this way, this is obviously wrapped indiscriminately by himself, in order to hide the things on his hands." He untied the bandage.

"Pistol!" the three Maori were taken aback.

Yamazaki took the bandage and picked up the pistol and looked at it, and sure enough, it was loaded and ready to shoot, then handed the gun to Maori, and then began to tie people up.

Maori looked at it and said solemnly: "The real guy who got on the bullet." Then he asked, "Who the hell do you say these two guys are?"

"It should be the person who really spies on the client. Yamazaki said.

Lan asked, "But how would they know the contents of the letter?"

"The client may have drafted the letter when he wrote it. "They found this draft. ”

Yamazaki brought the two of them closer together, sideways back to back, and then put their wrists behind him and tied them tightly with bandages, "If that's it, these two guys will wake up in about an hour." ”

Mori said, "Very well, let's look around first and see if we can find Miss Nakamura." ”

Lan asked, "Why does it have to be a woman?"

Maori laughed: "Of course, my detective's instincts are absolutely not wrong. ”

Conan smiled: "Sister Lan, you look carefully at the letter paper, there is a watermark on it, and there is some fragrance on the words, it must be written with a scented ballpoint pen, these are generally used by women." ”

Lan looked at it carefully, and asked suspiciously, as Conan said, "But how do you know?"

"Ah, this," Conan said quickly, "my classmates have bought these things." ”

"I see. Lan said.

Soon after, the four of them found Miss Nakamura, a beautiful woman in her twenties, who was tied up and gagged in the attic of the villa. ……
