On Monday, May 5, in the afternoon, near the demolished abandoned building.

After the patrol car stopped, Officer Yumi came down with three people, one large and one small. Conan knew all but one of the adults holding a small child, because the little one was holding a soccer ball in his hand, and the other adult was the unlucky owner of the car.

Officer Yumi smiled at the child and asked, "Is that the child?"

The child said, "Yes, it was this little brother who stole my football." Then he kicked the ball out and broke the car in one fell swoop. It's amazing. He said with a look of adoration and yearning.

"This," Conan said, "I ......"

"Don't try to deny it, you kid, a lot of people have seen it. Officer Yumi laughed.

"Conan!" Seeing that Conan wanted to quibble, Lan was upset.

"Yes. Conan bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "I did it." ”

Lan pointed to the convenience store owner who was standing not far away and said, "Officer Yumi, it's that person, that person wants to harm a child named Xiaohong, so ......"

"Needless to say," said Officer Yumi, "I've already informed Miwako about this, she's at the Rice Flower Building just now, and she'll be here soon." Then he shouted, "Hey, you guys, where do you want to go?"

The construction captain said nervously: "Police, police officer......"

Officer Yumi asked, "Did you check if there was anyone inside before construction?"

"That ......," the construction captain was speechless.

"Just no?" Officer Yumi asked, "which company are you from, and your name?"

Seeing that Officer Yumi was making records for the construction team, Conan asked in a low voice, "Sister Lan, did you call the police, I mean calling?"

Lan said, "I happened to see Officer Yumi. ”

At this time, a red car with a siren came over and stopped, and Officers Sato and Takagi got out of it.

After listening to Conan's story, Officer Sato asked Officer Yumi to have the construction team dig through the rubble to see if there was a body.

Soon after, the detective group of three ran back.

At around half past two in the afternoon, the construction team found bloodstains, and a few minutes later found a body that had been crushed to a disfigured body.

Officer Sato immediately reported to the above, and asked Officer Takagi to go to Kohiro with the detective team, and by the way, inform their guardian and take them to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Also, do you want to notify your parents?" Motota felt some itching in his ears and buttocks.

"No, don't you, do you?" Mitsuhiko didn't feel well.

"Sister Lan. Ayumi looked at Ran with blank eyes.

"It's useless to call Lan, Lan is only a high school student. Officer Yumi laughed, "Conan's side needs to inform the Maori detectives." ”

Conan touched his head that had just removed the bandage in the morning, and if he knocked it again, would he be beaten stupid?

Ran called, but it was Yamazaki who answered, and then informed Mori, who was taking a beer bath. ……

At half past four in the afternoon, the Metropolitan Police Department searched a small conference room in the first section.

Takagi put down his pen and smiled at the children and their parents, "Okay, you can go back, thank you for your help." ”

The parents of Yuantai, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi immediately said goodbye and left with the three children with their heads down. Officer Sato suddenly came over to inform Kohiro's mother and Mori, and Officer Yumi told them to go to the Ministry of Transportation, and then asked someone to take them over.

When he arrived, Conan found that the owner of the car was with Officer Yumi. They were approached by US police officers to discuss the issue of responsibility for the accident and compensation.

"What!" exclaimed Maori, "this is the convenience store owner's doing, and of course he is in charge." ”

"I'm sorry, but no one saw that, but there were a lot of people who saw Conan wreck that car. "This car accident is tentatively determined to be caused by the owner of the car who forgot to pull the handbrake." ”

Maori said: "Then you should know very well that Conan is here to save people, so the responsibility should be borne by this car owner." ”

"If my car hits a child, then when the murderer is not found, I will bear the responsibility, and I admit it. "But now the fact is that my car didn't hit the child at all, but your child damaged my car, this is a new car I bought with a loan, and now the front part of the car is seriously damaged, the front window is also broken, the car is full of glass slag, many of them are poked into it, and the steering wheel is seriously scratched, so my loss is very big." ”

"Smack!" Mori planted a small mushroom on Conan's head, "you kid." ”

"Dad. "Ran pulled Conan away from Maori.

This is the third time, Conan puffs up his triangular eyes, and I didn't mean to.

Maori asked the owner, "By the way, isn't your car insured?"

"Of course I bought it, but the people from the insurance company came to see it and left, saying that it was a man-made accident that was not covered by the claim. The owner said helplessly, "I learned from them just now, 'If you negligently forget to pull the handbrake and hit a child, then it is an accident, and the insurance company will bear the corresponding responsibilities written in the insurance contract.'" ’”

Xiaohong's mother asked, "So, how much do you want?"

The owner of the car hurriedly said, "About 350,000 yen." ”

"What!" both Maori and Kohiro's mother were taken aback.

"Add to that the broken lamppost, and it costs 50,000 yen to call someone for another one. "But in this accident, the owner of the car did not look at his car, so he is also a quarter of the responsibility." ”

Xiaohong's mother asked, "That, officer, when will you get all this money?"

"Now it's just a matter of informing you so that you can be mentally prepared. "If it is really found to be man-made, then he is primarily responsible." ”

Maori and Kohiro's mother breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. ……

Tuesday, May 6th, the last day of consecutive breaks, afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.

Mori received a call from the Twilight Police Department, saying that the convenience store owner was acquitted due to insufficient evidence.

"What!" Maori was taken aback, "how can this be?"

"According to Hiroshi and Conan," said the Dusk Police Department, "Hiroshi didn't see the body, and neither Conan nor the four of them saw who locked them in the basement. ”

Maori asked, "Didn't you say that the convenience store owner knelt on the ground and cried and confessed to Xiaohong?"

"We investigated the matter, but because the site was under construction, it was very noisy," the Twilight Police Department said, "so the construction team members next to them just saw the convenience store owner kneeling in front of Xiao Hong, and they didn't hear anything said." ”

"Ahh

"Also, we went to the door in the morning to inquire about Xiaohong, and found that he didn't understand what the convenience store owner was saying to him at that time. Originally, the children's testimony could only be used as corroboration, but now, the testimony of the five children is inconsistent, and this testimony is completely undesirable. "And we didn't find any other evidence." ”

"......" Maori was speechless, then turned his head and glared at Conan.

"Dad. Lan took Conan behind him.

"There's proof, uncle. Yamazaki said, "The knife that cut the rope should have the ash on the cement pipe on the rope, and the knife must have been stained with it, and the prisoner should still be carrying it on his body in yesterday's situation, and he has not washed it yet." ”

"That's a good point. Maori immediately reported the matter to the Twilight Police Department.

The Twilight Police Department said, "There's such a knife, I'll have someone test it right away." ”

Conan said, "And anesthetics. ”

"Anesthetics?" Maori wondered.

"The convenience store doesn't sell drugs, and the medicine is definitely something he bought from a store in the shopping street. "As long as it is found that the medicine he bought is consistent with the drug residue in Kohiro's inspection report yesterday, it will show that he kidnapped Kohiro and put him next to the body in the basement of the abandoned building." ”

"Then he must be the murderer. Maori laughed, and then told the Twilight Police Department about the clue.

"Very good, thank you, Maori brother, get in touch again. The Twilight Police Department said, and hung up.

Maori hung up the phone and said to Conan: "If you find evidence, forget about it, otherwise, hum!"

"Conan, did you deduce this on your own?" Lan asked.

"Hey, hey," Conan said with a dry laugh, "I heard from Brother Yamazaki at Media last night. ”

"I see. Lan laughed. ……

At around 4 p.m., the Twilight Police Department called again, the evidence was found, and he hung up after thanking Maori. Both Maori and Conan breathed a sigh of relief, one because they didn't have to pay, and the other because they weren't fined.

However, ten minutes later, the U.S. police officer called and asked Mori to come to the Ministry of Transportation to discuss compensation.

"What!" Maori and Conan were taken aback, "Didn't you confess?"

"I don't know, but the main person responsible for this car accident has been identified as Conan. Officer Yumi smiled, "Xiaohong's father has something to do tomorrow, Mr. Mori, can you come at 5:20 p.m. today?" ”

"Okay, okay, Officer Yumi. Mori hung up the phone and yelled at Conan, "Conan!"

Conan peeked out from behind Lan, "Uncle, uncle, you said that if you catch the murderer, forget it." ”

"Did I say that?" said Maori, gritting her teeth, "why don't I remember." ”

Lan smiled: "Okay, Dad, Conan's mother gave so much living expenses." Then he took Conan back to the third floor and took 300,000 yen down and handed it to Maori, "It's not early, take the money, you can go quickly." ”……

5:20 p.m., Traffic Department, Metropolitan Police Department.

Officer Yumi introduces Hiroshi's father to Mori, who is the last to arrive.

"Uchiko and I are very grateful to Conan for saving Kohiro, and originally all the rest of the money should have been paid by us, but we couldn't come up with so much money for a while, and now we can only pay 200,000 yen. Hiroshi's father bowed to Maori, "I'm very sorry." ”

In this regard, Mori had nothing to say, so he could only recognize the remaining 100,000 yen. After filling out a form, Mori took out 100,000 yen from his wallet and reluctantly handed it to Officer Yumi. The U.S. police officer handed it over to the owner of the car and issued a ticket to the owner.

"Good, one more incident resolved. Officer Yumi laughed, "Actually, you should be glad that it was a street lamp, not a telephone pole, and if it caused a power outage in the shopping street, it would have paid more than hundreds of thousands of yen." ”

Thinking of that situation, the faces of the car owner, Xiaohong's father, and Maori all darkened.

"Okay, you can go," Yumi smiled, "remember to pay the ticket, you will have to add money if it expires." Then he said to Maori, "By the way, Mr. Maori, I asked the Shiratori Police Department to read the letter that I brought you, and you can bring Conan to class this Saturday, so remember to bring the money with you." ”

Suddenly, Maori's face darkened. ……
