Sunday, November 9th, afternoon, four o'clock.

The four members of the detective group approached the Twilight Police Department and reported to him that they had found a house according to the picture book, which could be where the deceased had previously lived.

"Smack!" Mori gave Conan a mushroom, "This album should have been taken out a long time ago." ”

Soon after, the Twilight Police Department, Mori and others arrived outside Hayase's house in a police car, and Officer Takagi's team also came.

The Twilight Police Department first stopped the cleaning of the car of two employees of the cleaning company, "Is this house being cleaned?"

Cleaning employee A said: "Yes, it is said that as long as there is a place that can be touched, it must be thoroughly wiped over, and the car must be cleaned until not a single hair is visible." ”

"Officer, is there a murder?" said cleaner B, "and the owner of the house seems to have replaced everything in the house." ”

The Dusk Police Department asked, "Do you know where the old furniture is?"

"I don't know. "When we came this morning, the house was empty, there was nothing, it looked like it had just moved in. ”

"Thank you. The Twilight Police Department said, and knocked on the door of Hayase's house.

The Twilight Police Department showed her ID to Ms. Morning Ase, who came to open the door, "Good afternoon, ma'am, I'm the Twilight Police Department from the Search Section, there is something I want you to know, can you let us in?"

Ms. Hayase was stunned for a moment, then found that the four members of the detective group were also behind, glared at them fiercely, and then said: "I'm sorry, the police department, my home is inconvenient now, and it is inconvenient to entertain guests, so if you have anything to say, just say it here." ”

"All right, ma'am," said the Dusk Officer, "please state your name and who you are in this house. ”

"My name is Kimie Wasase. Hayase said, "This is my home." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Ms. Wasase, are you living alone here?"

"My husband passed away a year ago, and now I'm the only one living alone. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "I heard that you have replaced all the furniture in your house, where is your old furniture?"

Hayase asked, "I said, what are you looking for me for?"

"A body has been found under the bridge not too far from your home, and your current behavior is suspicious. ”

Hayase Kimie said: "This kind of thing has nothing to do with me, if it's okay, please don't bother me to clean up the house." Then he shouted to the two cleaning staff, "Don't procrastinate, I won't pay if I'm not satisfied." With that, he went back to his room.

The Twilight Police Department instructed: "Takagi, take someone to the neighbor's house and ask, no one will find out about such a big move as moving." ”

"Yes, police department. Officer Takagi took the order.

Motota asked, "Hey, shouldn't you rush in and grab her?"

"You can enter her home unless you are invited by her or have a search warrant, and you can only arrest her with conclusive evidence or a warrant. "Even this car has to prove that it is a faulty car before it can be impounded and inspected." ”

"It's so troublesome. Yuan Tai said.

Mitsuhiko asked, "But if there is any evidence, won't she destroy the evidence?"

"There's no way around it. "That's the rules, that's the order." ”

"That's a good point. The Dusk Police Department nodded, then asked. "Brother Maori, I seem to have some impressions of the surname Hayase, what about you?"

"Hayase's words, well," Mori said with some excitement after thinking about it, "By the way, the police department, I remember two years ago there was a bank clerk named Hayase, because he was climbing into an avalanche and it seems that he hasn't been heard from since." At the time......"

At this time, Officer Takagi ran over, "Police Department, there is a major discovery." ”

"What?" asked the Dusk Police Department.

Mr. Hayase was suspected of embezzling public funds, and then disappeared in an avalanche during a mountaineering trip, and was believed to have died a year ago. Officer Takagi laughed.

Damn, Maori stared at Officer Takagi, this guy robbed me of my credit. Then he asked, "Takagi, which company moved the furniture?"

"Ahh With that, he ran away.

The Twilight Police Department calls back to a section and asks them to investigate Mr. Hayase's incident. After that, Officer Takagi came to report that it was a moving company that also recycled old furniture, so after leaving the watchdogs, the Twilight Police Department and Mori and others passed.

At 4:50 p.m., the moving company.

The Twilight Police Department found the person in charge, "Excuse me, where is the furniture in Ms. Hayase's house?"

"Ms. Hayase's furniture?" said the person in charge, "that, uh, was all destroyed this morning." ”

"Destruction?" the Dusk Police Department was taken aback, "Is this true?"

"Yes," said the person in charge, "Ms. Hayase said that she didn't like people using what she used, and asked us to destroy all the old furniture. ”

"It's really all destroyed?" said Maori, "it's about a murder, and you can go to jail for concealing and destroying evidence." ”

"Killings, killings. The person in charge sweated, and then hurriedly said, "Also, there are some more." ”

"Oh, didn't you say they were all sent for destruction?" Mori laughed, "Take us there." ”

Moments later, the moving company warehouse.

The person in charge said: "All that's left is this huge painting, and this set of base cabinets." I can't estimate this huge painting, and I'm going to find someone to take a look at it. And the material of this set of base cabinet combinations is very good, although it seems to have been burned by a cigarette, but if you reprocess it, you can sell it for a good price, I don't think Ms. Hayase will know about it anyway, so I want to sell it. ”

Conan said, "Police, this combination of floor cabinets is the same as in the picture book. ”

Yamazaki said, "Uncle Maori, this scar has been scalded recently. ”

Maori said, "Oh, so to speak, the police department, it's possible that this was left by the deceased." ”

"Can you please send this to the Metropolitan Police Department?" said the Twilight Police Department to the person in charge.

"Of course, that's no problem. The person in charge laughed.

At this time, Officer Chiba sent information about Mr. Hayase's incident back then.

Looking at Mr. Hayase's photo, the Twilight Police Department said, "Mori, it seems that the deceased is this person." ”

"Yes," said Maori, "the motive is probably because of the public money that is counted in the estate." ”……

Later, at about 5:10 p.m., the Twilight Police Department and Mori and others came to the outside of Hayase's house again and knocked on the door.

Hayase Kimie came out, "What's the matter, officer?"

"Ms. Wasase, we have found the body of your husband, Tatsuo Wasase, and we would like you to identify it. The Dusk Police Department said.

"I said it was none of my business. Hayase said, "Please don't bother me anymore." As he spoke, he wanted to close the door and go back.

"Please wait, Ms. Morningase," the Twilight Police Department pressed one hand on the door, "I didn't say that the body I was talking about is the same body as the body I mentioned when I came to you just now, what do you mean now is that the body I mentioned when I came here is the body of your husband?"

"I—I didn't say that," Hayase said with an ugly face, "I mean, my husband was killed and disappeared in the mountains two years ago, and it is impossible for him to appear here." ”

"But Mr. Hayase's body has never been found," the Twilight Police Department asked, "Now, you don't even look at it, how do you know if the body is your husband?"

"I," said Hayase, "well, please let me change my clothes." ”

"Yes, please. The Twilight Police Department let go of its hand and let Hayase Kimi-e close the door.

"Alright, Uncle Maori, it's not too early, I won't go to the Metropolitan Police Department to see the ending. Yamazaki smiled, "I'll hear you later." ”

"Okay. Maori laughed

"You guys, it's getting dark," Yamazaki said to the four of them, "I'll send you back by the way." ”

"Ah!" exclaimed Motota, "it's not over yet. ”

"It's over. Yamazaki said, "Not to mention the comparison of the teeth in the medical records, as long as the fingerprints on this document are compared with the fingerprints of the body, it can be confirmed that the identity of the deceased is Mr. Hayase, who disappeared due to the theft of public funds, so that the theft of public funds will not be resolved." Ms. Hayase's behavior of changing furniture and cleaning immediately after the crime only makes people think that Ms. Hayase killed Mr. Hayase at home in order to embezzle the public money, and secretly returned to his home because he had been officially confirmed dead and felt that the theft of public funds had passed. So even if no evidence can be found on the old furniture, it will be enough to sue Ms. Hayase and win the lawsuit. If Ms. Hayase was smart enough, she would have turned herself in to the police as soon as she saw the old furniture we were looking for, and she would have suffered for a few more years. ”

"Don't say it!" Hayase Kimie cried out in the room, and then cried, "Don't say it. ”

Conan puffed up his triangular eyes, this guy was originally meant to Ms. Hayase.

"Well done. Maori smiled at Yamazaki.

"Thank you. Yamazaki laughed, "Actually, what the Twilight Police Department said just now has messed her up. ”

At this time, the door opened, and Hayase Kimie said, "Come in." ”

"Excuse me. The Dusk Police Department said.

Yamazaki made a call home with his mobile phone and said that he would be back later, and then followed Mori and the others into Hayase's house.

After parting from each other, the Twilight Police Department asked, "Ms. Morningse, did you kill Mr. Morningase, who returned from the disappearance?"

"Yes, I killed him, I made him drink coffee with sleeping pills, and then strangled his neck with a rope," said Hayase Kimie. ”

"Why?" asked the Dusk Police Department, "for that money?"

"If others knew that he was still alive, his previous embezzlement would have been re-investigated. "It's a lie to say that you don't want to keep the money, but more importantly, you don't want to be constantly asked to assist in the investigation." The way the neighbors looked at me was clearly saying, 'Look, the woman from the Hayase family has been taken away again.' 'What is wrong with me, I have to deal with your questions over and over again. Finally, he disappeared and was condemned to death, so that I inherited his inheritance, if I investigate, I don't know how to investigate my past expenses, how many times to call me, I don't want to do this, I just want to live a peaceful life. ”

Maori asked, "But why did you leave the body in such an easy place to find?"

"It's not the same everywhere, a nameless body. I just didn't expect you to think of me so quickly and find me. "Actually, I've prepared a ticket to Europe tonight, and I'm going to pack up and leave." ”

Conan said, "We found this place through Mr. Hayase's art book. ”

"Can you show me?" asked Kimie Wasase.

"Absolutely. "The Twilight Police Department asked Officer Takagi to hand over the album to Kimie Hasase.

Looking at the pages of paintings of this house and the various furnishings in the house, Hayase Kimie burst into tears, "Even if he has amnesia, he still remembers the way home looks like, and he has always been homesick." Then he cried with the album. ……

Later, although he surrendered himself, because he was a murderer, he was morally very bad, so Hayase Kimie was sentenced to ten years. As for the embezzlement incident, the case was officially closed after it was confirmed through the body of the person concerned, Tatsuo Hayase, that he was dead and could no longer be traced. ……

The next day, Monday, November 10th, morning.

The morning newspaper published news about Detective Kogoro Mori assisting the police in solving the murder of the "deceased" who had returned from "death".

"Dad, you're amazing. Lan smiled and asked, "Can you help me?"

Maori smiled: "No problem, just say it." ”

"I want you to help me find that guy. Lan said.

"Who's that guy?" asked Maori, confused, "Is anyone missing?"

Conan sighed inwardly, Lan, I'm sorry.

"Of course it's that guy," Lan said with a fist clenched, "If I don't take the initiative to look for it, I don't know when that guy from Shinichi will be back." ”

"No, I don't accept it. Maori said, "You can find anyone you want, but you can't find this kid." ”

"Dad. Lan Qi said, "You just promised." ”

"I broke my promise. "That kid is a big threat to my business if he comes back, and I think it's better for that kid to be missing forever, forever." ”

Conan puffed up his triangular eyes, even if I'm not here, your business may not be good.

"Dad. Lan shouted.

"No need to talk. "It's almost time, you can take this little ghost to school." ”……

Friday, November 14th, afternoon.

Conan, who has been hanging out after school, has waited for his goal, Yamazaki, Maidiko, Sonoko, and Ran, who have come back from school. However, Conan noticed that they had turned a different path and hurriedly chased after them.

"Where did you come from, you little ghost?" asked the garden.

"I want you to take care of it. Conan muttered, and then asked, "Sister Lan, where are you going?"

"Go to the cabaret and sing. Lan smiled, "Yuanzi got four tickets for tomorrow's TwoMix concert, and now take us to familiarize ourselves with the lyrics." ”

Yuan Zi smiled: "Yes, so you don't have to go." ”

"I think Conan's songs are very good, and they can be said to be unparalleled in the world. Mei Daiko smiled, "Take him with you." ”

Conan said helplessly in his heart, are you praising me, or "praising me". ……
