Wednesday, July 30th, early morning, Akira Hoshima's apartment.

Yukiko's side solved the murder incident.,Gray Plains' side found that the black pickup truck drove away after being questioned by the police.,It looks like it was illegally parked and driven away.,But it doesn't seem to have a development order.,It's a pity.。 ……

It was agreed that in the afternoon, he would take Conan and his guardian Mori to the Metropolitan Police Department to make a record, and Kiko would take the five members of the Junior Detective Corps to a nearby hotel to rest. ……

In the morning, Arikiko took the five members of the Junior Detective Group to see the premiere of the Kamen Superman theatrical version, and then sent them back to Dr. Asasa's house. ……

In the afternoon, the Maori Detective Agency.

Arikiko brought Conan over and called Mori to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to make a record for Conan.

Conan finds out that Ran is not there and remembers that Ran is going to the school's karate club to participate in an event today.

And when I heard that Yukiko solved a murder incident, Maori looked at Conan with itchy teeth, and there was an incident that was not notified, and missing a murder was missing a bonus, although there would not be much, but it was better than nothing. ……

In the afternoon, the Metropolitan Police Department.

Yukiko drove away after making the transcript, and Mori took Conan back by car, and the taxi fare was too expensive for the loop train.

Before evening, on the tram.

Mori receives a text message from Ran, saying that the school's karate club has been extended and that Mori and Conan are left to solve the dinner problem on their own.

"Self, solve it yourself?" Maori has a toothache, it's the end of the month, can't you take Conan to the Medi Restaurant for a drink, can you go to Poirot's Cafe to owe bills?

Conan asked, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

Maori said helplessly: "Ran's activity in the karate club has been extended. ”

"Uh......" Conan understood, Maori was having a headache with dinner.

At this time, someone next to me was talking about a ramen discount, and Maori's ears immediately pricked up, and when he listened carefully, it turned out that there was a very delicious ramen restaurant outside the Kakudo station for discounts.

Maori smiled, "Boy, let's go eat ramen, I know a very tasty ramen restaurant." ”

"Oh. Conan replied weakly, there is nothing wrong with eating ramen, the problem is, cup to stand, after eating, he will definitely walk home. ……

Kakudo Station on the Loop Line.

Mori and Conan got out of the car, and before they could leave, they found someone arguing and scuffling in the distance, and there were fortification signs and danger signs nearby.

"Hey, stop. ”

Maori shouted forward, but the two men scuffled past behind the fortification signs.

"Hey!"

Maori hurriedly ran over, but with a scream, he saw the young man of the two standing on the edge of a pit in a daze, and the other middle-aged man was in the pit, pierced by several steel bars inside, and the blood flowed out quickly, accumulating several millimeters at the bottom of the pit, and he couldn't survive.

"Bastard!" Maori cried out as he grabbed the young man by the collar, "telling you to stop." ”

"I—I didn't mean to. The young man was a little devastated.

However, Conan noticed that the man had taken a ballpoint pen back into his pocket, and a closer look at the deceased's hand showed that there was some blood on the back of his hand.

At this time, the security guard at the station arrived, and immediately called an ambulance and called the police.

When the ambulance arrived, the ambulance personnel confirmed that the person in the pit was dead.

Then, the police from the Kabido Police Station arrived, and the Goto Police Department and Officer Saito, who led the team, recognized Mori at a glance. ……

Station lounge.

The deceased's name was Keisuke Furuta, and the station staff identified him as an office worker who had brought lost items to the station several times over the years.

The scuffle with him was Hideki Sugimoto, and the station staff identified him as also an office worker.

The Goto Police Department and Officer Saito took notes for Hideki Sugimoto.

Hideki Sugimoto said, "I was riding the train because my backpack was too big, so I put it in the luggage rack on the top. ”

Officer Saito asked, "And then?"

Hideki Sugimoto said, "Then I went to the bathroom, and when I came back, I found that the bag was missing, and I remembered that there was a mobile phone in the bag, so I called. ”

Officer Saito asked, "You have two mobile phones?"

Hideki Sugimoto said, "Oh, it's a mobile phone for work, a mobile phone for personal use. ”

The Goto Police Department asked, "And then you found Mr. Keisuke Furuta?"

"Yes. "I heard the sound and saw at a glance that the bag was in his hand, but I was getting out of the car, and I didn't catch up with him until I got out of the car." ”

The Goto Police Department asked, "Do you know him?"

"Recognize. "I've heard that he will take advantage of the opportunity to return the lost property and steal something, such as a small amount of money, and even if the owner gets the lost property, he will not be held accountable." ”

"There is indeed such a thing. The station staff confirmed, "When the owner came to claim it before, they all found that they had lost something. ”

"I asked for a bag at the time, but he didn't return it, so I got into a scuffle with him. Sugimoto said, "In the end, I accidentally pushed him into the pit. ”

"I see. "That's manslaughter." ”

"By the way, the police department, speaking of manslaughter," Officer Saito said, "Mr. Keisuke Furuta also encountered it once before, he hit and killed a young woman while driving. ”

"Is there such a thing?" asked the Goto Police Department.

"Yes, it's in our Kakuto Town," Officer Saito said, "because the woman crossed the road illegally, Mr. Keisuke Furuta was found to be manslaughter, but no eyewitnesses were found for this incident, and all the testimony was given by Mr. Keisuke Furuta alone." ”

"Oh, there's such a thing. The Goto Police Department looked at Hideki Sugimoto, "Mr. Sugimoto, do you know this woman?"

"This ......," Sugimoto hesitated.

"I'll look it up. "Officer Saito went out and called.

Conan asked Hideki Sugimoto, "Uncle, can you lend me your pen?"

"Ah," Hideki Sugimoto was stunned for a moment, and forced a smile: "This, kid, I'm sorry, I didn't bring a pen." ”

"Isn't it?" Maori saw the problem, "did you not bring a pen, or did you dare to take it out?"

"Mr. Hideki Sugimoto," said the Goto Police Department, "don't force me to search you. ”

"I, I......" Hideki Sugimoto's sweat came down.

"I'm sorry. The Goto Police Department stepped forward and touched Hideki Sugimoto's pocket, felt the object of the pen, and then reached out and took it out.

It was a ballpoint pen with some smudges on the nib and the same smudge on the nib of the pen that was pressed.

The Goto Police Department took a little and sniffed, "It's blood." ”

Hideki Sugimoto's face became very ugly.

The Goto Police Department said, "In other words, Mr. Sugimoto, you once stabbed Mr. Furuta with this pen. ”

"......" Hideki Sugimoto was silent.

At this time, Officer Saito came in, "Goto Police Department, I found out that Hideki Sugimoto is the woman's fiancé. ”

"Ah, I see. Mori said, "Mr. Sugimoto must have intended to take revenge on Mr. Furuta in a similar way, so he took advantage of this opportunity to push Mr. Furuta down, and Mr. Furuta's death was actually caused by your intention." ”

"I didn't. Hideki Sugimoto exclaimed, "I didn't want to kill him. ”

Maori said: "Whether you deny it or not, the facts are now there and you cannot deny them." ”

"I didn't, I said I didn't want to kill him. Hideki Sugimoto exclaimed.

"Then why did you stab him with a ballpoint pen?" asked Maori.

Hideki Sugimoto asked rhetorically, "He snatched my bag and didn't return it, why can't I stab him with a ballpoint pen?"

"Uh......" Maori was speechless.

Goto said: "Okay, anyway, you are now involved in a murder incident, come with us, as for whether you have the intention to kill people, this headache will be left to the judge to solve." ”

"Legal?" Hideki Sugimoto sneered, "If it had worked, Furuta wouldn't have died." ”

"So you killed Mr. Furuta. Goto Police Department said.

"I didn't. Sugimoto said, "I didn't want to kill him, I never wanted to kill him." ”

"Okay, don't read it. Goto said, and then ordered Officer Saito to take Hideki Sugimoto away. ……

Since Maori was not an important witness, he simply made a note and left with Conan.

There was no incident, Maori was in a bad mood, forgot about the dinner, and took Conan back to Rice Flower Town.

Conan thought that Maori was going back to Poirot's Cafe to eat, so he didn't ask, so he went home with Maori.

As a result, Maori entered the Mei Dai Restaurant, and Conan was in a hurry, and hurriedly chased in, "Hey, uncle." ”

Mei Dai Restaurant.

"Oh, yes. Maori pulled out some coins and said, "Take them all, buy a few cups of noodles and eat them." ”

"Cup, cup noodles!" Conan straightened his triangular eyes, then I might as well use my pocket money, uh, wait, last time I invited the Junior Detective Corps to Disneyland, and I overdrew my pocket money.

Mimiko Miyamoto smiled and asked, "Why, you haven't eaten dinner yet?"

"Give me a package for next month. Maori said with some embarrassment.

"Understood. Miyamoto Miko smiled, and then asked Conan, "So, what about you? Do you want free boiling water?"

"Well, thank you, Auntie. Conan said weakly, then went upstairs and grabbed a few cups of noodles from the vending machine.

Yamazaki saw it and asked funny, "I said, this can't be your dinner, right?"

"Long-winded. Conan rolled his eyes.

Yamazaki smiled, "Forget it, let's give you some snacks and snacks, lest people say that we treat children illegally." ”

"......" Conan was completely speechless. ……

While Conan was eating his informal dinner, Kiko ran over.

"This can't be your dinner, is it?" asked Arikiko.

"Hmm. Conan nodded helplessly.

"That ......" Maori wanted to explain, this can't be misunderstood by Yukiko, and it won't be good if it reaches Conan's mother, after all, people have to pay.

"No, needless to say. Yukiko interrupted, then covered her mouth and laughed, laughing until her stomach hurt.

"Huh?" Maori scratched his head completely.

"I knew it. Conan grumbled weakly.

Mimiko Miyamoto put Yukiko's red wine in front of her, "Okay, Yukiko, this is your wine." ”

"Bring another cup. Arikiko smiled, and then said to Mori, "Kogoro, let's have a drink." ”

"Then you're welcome. Maori smiled happily, this wine must be expensive and good, it is fantastic. ……

Soon after, Ran passed by and found Maori and Conan, also walking in. ……

In the evening, Yamazaki first helped Ran and Conan return the drunken Mori to the Mori house, and then sent the drunk Yukiko back to Kudo's house with Midaiko and Ran and Conan. ……

On the way home.

Lan said, "By the way, Mei Daizi, I met Teacher Judy on the way back today. ”

"She's playing games again?" asked Midaiko with a smile.

Lan smiled: "Oh, she said that she was looking for a good snack bar recently. ”

"That's good, it's almost costly. Mei Daiko smiled.

Lan was embarrassed and said, "However, she asked me to introduce, you know, I don't often eat out." ”

"I'm worse than you. Mei Daizi said, "Ask the garden, if it doesn't work, look for it on the Internet, and if it doesn't work, take Teacher Judy to the hotel." ”

"That's all there is to it. Lan said. ……
