Saturday, August 26, 4 p.m., Minamiizu-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, Aono House.

I heard that palm marks were found under the bridge, and the Henggou Police Department took everyone over to check and found that there were indeed handprints on the moss, but it seemed that the gangsters were holding the bottom of the bridge all the way to float forward, and the hands attached to the bottom of the bridge were smeared with moss all the way, although there were palm marks but there was no way to distinguish them.

Yamazaki looked at the last pier and found that it was very clean and free of moss, so he said to Maori: "Uncle, this last pier is very clean, the gangsters must be wearing gloves, we didn't see gloves or anything like that when we were diving in the water just now, look inside and outside the house, there should be new discoveries." ”

"Well, that's a good point. Maori told the Henggou Police Department about the incident, and the Henggou Police Department immediately arranged for the police officers to look for gloves.

Ten minutes later, a police officer came to report that a glove with moss had been found in the room of Masako Mimura.

"What! Mimura Masako exclaimed excitedly, "Mr. Policeman, you have to believe me, I didn't do it." ”

The Henggou Police Department said: "Please don't get excited, Miss Mashako, the matter will be clarified." ”

After that, the Henggou Police Department took everyone to Mimura Masako's room and saw the gloves. It was a pair of white gloves, now covered in green moss, and the gloves were packed in a plastic bag and placed in the corner of the cabinet.

Seeing the gloves, Conan understood, it turned out that the murderer was that guy, but this is strange, what motive did the murderer have?

Mimura Masako shouted: "Mr. Policeman, this is not my thing, I don't know about this thing at all, this must be someone who wants to frame me." ”

"This, this," the Henggou Police Department asked, "Mr. Maori?"

"This ......" Maori was embarrassed, and at the same time thought to himself, the murderer is either Mimura Masako or Aono Ki Ryochi, Aono Ki Ryoichi took the gloves to blame Mimura Masako after killing people, but Mimura Makoto can also deliberately use the knot used by fishermen to marry Aono Ki Ryoyi, who is it? Or, just pick one, you should be able to choose one of the two, right? By the way, it should be a person with a lot of strength who can strangle Aono Ki Ryozo to death, and that is Aono Ki Ryoichi.

Thinking of this, Maori looked at Ryoichi Aono and said, "The murderer is ......"

"Uncle," Yamazaki interrupted Mori, "can you let me try, if you don't say it's right, please correct it." ”

"It's fine. Maori said, "Then come on." ”

"Yes, uncle. Yamazaki said, and then asked the Yokozo Police Department, "Police Department, do you have white gloves with you?"

"Yes, the case is needed. Henggou Police Department said.

"Mr. Murderer, do you want me to go on now?" Yamazaki said, "Give you a chance to stand up for yourself." ”

"Ah, I see. Sonoko said happily, "The murderer is Mr. Morio Yakura. ”

Yamazaki said to Morio Yakura, whose face had changed, "It seems that you have no chance to turn yourself in, Mr. Yakura." ”

"What? how could it be him?" Lan was taken aback.

"yes, didn't he inherit the genre?" asked Midaiko.

The Yokozo Police Department asked, "Mr. Yamazaki, you said that the murderer was Mr. Morio Yakura, what is the evidence?"

"I don't know why, but Mr. Yakura is the only one who has white gloves, because he's an antique dealer. Yuan Zi smiled.

Mei Daizi said: "By the way, antique dealers have to wear white gloves when looking at antiques. ”

"But there must be white gloves in this house, and the murderer may be someone else, why do you say that the murderer is him?" Lan asked.

Yuan Zi smiled: "It's summer, who will come with gloves to visit? So this glove is not Miss Zhenshazi's, so Miss Zhenshazi was blamed, so Miss Zhenshazi is not a murderer." ”

"Well, I always feel that something is wrong. Henggou Police Department said.

"There are three conditions missing," Yamazaki said, "Miss Masako didn't know that Mr. Yakura's gift was better before she gave the gift, so Miss Masako wouldn't have prepared to kill Grandmaster Aono beforehand, and naturally she wouldn't have brought white gloves to be a guest here, this is the first one." If Miss Masako had ever gone out, Miss Hanasaki, who opened the door for her, must have known and would not hide it for her, and now Miss Hanasaki has not said it, so Miss Masako has never gone out, this is the second one. There are white gloves in this house, but this pair of gloves was found in Miss Masako's room, if she is a murderer, even if she is afraid of touching the alarm and does not throw the gloves outside the house, she will not stay in her room, not to mention that Grandmaster Aono was strangled to death, and he didn't even shout for help, Miss Masako shouldn't have this strength, this is the third. ”

"Well, that's right, it seems that Miss Masako is indeed not a murderer. Henggou Police Department said.

Yamazaki said: "Also, in fact, the main reason why Miss Masako lost her temper was probably not because she didn't become the head of Aono-ryu, but because the investment failed, and she gave away a set of tea sets worth millions of yen for nothing, but she didn't get any benefits." ”

Mimura Masako said happily: "Yes, yes, sir, what you said is so right, I just feel sorry for the money." ”

The Yokomizo Police Department asked, "So, why aren't Miss Hanazaki and Mr. Aono the murderers?"

"We saw Miss Hanazaki coming back from the tea room, so she can't be the murderer. The garden said.

Yamazaki said, "No, it's because Miss Hanazaki isn't the murderer because she didn't have the time to commit the crime. ”

Lan said, "By the way, Miss Hanasaki has to clean the dishes and chopsticks at noon, clean up the kitchen, and prepare tea for us, which takes half an hour to say the least." ”

Yamazaki said: "After swimming under the bridge to the tea room to kill Grandmaster Aono, it will take ten minutes to come back to take a shower and change clothes. ”

Sonoko said, "The time when Miss Hanazaki finished informing everyone was 1:10 p.m., and the next time we saw Ms. Hanazaki was around 1:50 p.m., so Ms. Hanazaki didn't have time to commit the crime. ”

The Yokogou Police Department said: "I see, so Miss Hanasaki is indeed not a murderer. ”

"As for Mr. Aono," Yamazaki said, "the murderer should have entered through the back door of the tea room, if Mr. Aono went to Grandmaster Aono through the back door of the tearoom, Grandmaster Aono who had already let him out of the house would probably scold him, and Mr. Aono is the son of Grandmaster Aono, and he wants to inherit the property is just a matter of words, since he chose to leave the house cleanly, and the words are signed under the witness of everyone, he probably won't plan to kill." ”

The Henggou police department asked, "But it's not impossible, and that knot?"

"Knots are indeed strong evidence, but not only anglers make knots used by anglers. Yamazaki said.

Ryoichi Aono said, "Yes, fishing magazines have introduced this knot. ”

The Yokozo Police Department asked, "Then what is the evidence that you say Mr. Yakura is the murderer?"

Yamazaki asked, "Mr. Aono, do you know why Grandmaster Aono wants you to leave the house?"

"Why?" asked Ryoichi Aono.

Yamazaki said, "I guess it's because Aono-ryu's assets are problematic and not clean. ”

"What!" Ryo Aono was taken aback.

Yamazaki asked, "Your big mansion covers two hectares, do you know how much it's worth, how much taxes you have to pay every year, do you think your father, the master of the tea ceremony of Aono-ryu, can afford it?"

"Well, I haven't really thought about it. Ryoichi Aono said.

"I have calculated the value of this house at its peak, it was more than 3 billion yen, and the tax after various deductions and exemptions will be more than 20 million yen. As for the current value, it's about the same at a third. "I always thought that the teacher was receiving support from some foundation, so I didn't think about the burden. ”

Yamazaki said: "I guess Grandmaster Aono is helping Mr. Yakura forge the origin of the antique tea set, and the value of antiques is a world of difference. ”

Morio Yakura exclaimed excitedly: "You are talking nonsense, you are slandering. ”

Mimura Masako said: "By the way, it must be so, Yakura, don't deny it, I've seen Yakura come to the teacher with antique tea sets many times." ”

Morio Yakura shouted, "Nonsense, that's just for the teacher to appreciate." ”

"The whole thing should be like this. Yamazaki said, "In order to maintain the family, Grandmaster Aono and Mr. Yakura used antique tea sets......

Morio Yakura shouted, "No, we don't. ”

The Yokozo Police Department said, "Mr. Yakura, please be quiet. ”

Yamazaki said: "Maybe the person who will inherit the next Aono-ryu as the head of the throne has long been determined to be Mr. Yakura, and it is precisely because it is a matter of winning and not losing, that he will give that antique tea mortar." ”

Mimura Masako exclaimed, "Yes, for sure. ”

Morio Yakura exclaimed, "No, there is no such thing at all. ”

Ryoichi Aono asked, "Sir, since Yakura is the master, then the matter will not be exposed, why does he still want to?"

"In this world, paper can't contain fire, your father is not the only master of the tea ceremony, and Aono-ryu is not a very authoritative genre to be honest. Yamazaki said, "Grandmaster Aono will choose to abdicate at this time, I'm afraid that Grandmaster Aono finds out that he can't hide the matter, for the sake of Aono Liu, he plans to stand up and surrender to the police after giving way, and take all the responsibility alone." However, Mr. Aono, I guess that if you promise to inherit Aono-ryu, Grandmaster Aono will let you be the one who will destroy your relatives and set things right, and create momentum for you. But you have always refused to inherit, so Grandmaster Aono has to make another plan. ”

Ryuichi Aono was taken aback, "Father, he ......"

Yamazaki said, "Grandmaster Aono left Mr. Yakura alone in the morning, and he should be talking about confession. But after Mr. Yakura came back from the tea room, he thought about it and was afraid that the matter would still implicate him, and even if this matter did not implicate him, it would also damage the interests of Aono-ryu that he inherited in the future, so he thought of a plan to kill Aono Grandmaster. Mr. Yakura said that he was taking a nap, which was the first step in the plan. ”

"Why is that?" asked Midaiko.

"I know that, because it's only natural to go to bed and take a shower. The garden said.

Yamazaki said: "Mr. Yakura should have put his clothes in a bag, walked under the bridge naked and appeared at the back door of the tea room, and then put on his clothes and called the door, saying that he wanted to talk about confession, and Grandmaster Aono opened the door without doubt and let Mr. Yakura enter." Mr. Yakura went to the main seat with Grandmaster Aono, and took out a rope to strangle him while Grandmaster Aono was unprepared. Then he hung Grandmaster Aono on the beam of the house, and fixed the rope to the pillar with a knot used by anglers, and blamed Aono Ryuichi. Mr. Yakura closed the doors and windows of the tea room and climbed out of the tea room through the skylight......"

Mori Yakura said, "Wait, you said I climbed out of the tea room through the skylight, but Mr. Mori said that they had been looking at the tea room and had not seen anyone come out of the skylight of the tea room at all. ”

Yamazaki said: "If your uncle and they are standing on the balcony, I am sure they will be able to see you, but in the middle of the summer, there is an air conditioner in the room and instead of blowing the air conditioner in the room, but basking in the sun on the balcony of the room, I don't think my uncle will do that." The roof of the tea room is middle-high, and you can't see the skylight if you don't stand on the balcony of the attic. ”

"Mr. Maori?" asked the Henggou Police Department.

"Well, we did sit in the room. Maori said.

Lan hurriedly said, "But we did see Miss Hanazaki. ”

After Mr. Yakura returned to rinse as it was, he carried the plastic bag with white gloves in his arms, went to Uncle Mori in the attic to gather everyone together under the pretext of a tea party, and went to call Mr. Aono himself, intending to put the plastic bag in his room while Mr. Aono was leaving the room. Yamazaki said, "It's just that I don't know what happened, Mr. Aono didn't come out of the room, and Mr. Yakura was afraid of running to the wall and throwing it out, and Uncle Mori, Miss Masako, and Miss Hanazaki were all outside at the time, and it was likely that they were found when they threw it, and at the same time, Mr. Yakura was afraid that he would be discovered during the tea party, so he had to put a plastic bag in Miss Masako's room." ”

Mimura Masako said, "Speaking of which, Yakura did come to the tea party after me. ”

Aono Ryoichi said: "By the way, Yakura did come to call me to go to the pond for a tea party, but I was collecting my mother's photos at the time, and I didn't want to go, so I refused him, and then it was Miss Hanasaki who called me, so I went." Miss Hanazaki asked me to talk to Sonoko more, after all, her father would be my boss in the future. ”

"I see. The Yokomizo Police Department asked, "It's just that Mr. Yakura has to blame Mr. Aono?"

Yamazaki said: "The most valuable thing in Grandmaster Aono's name should be this mansion, but if I guess correctly, when the Suzuki Foundation built this mansion for Grandmaster Aono, it put this mansion in the name of the Aono family, not in the name of Aono-ryu. ”

Masa Mimura said, "I see, although Mr. Aono is out of the house, if the teacher dies, Mr. Aono will definitely get a part of the teacher's personal inheritance. ”

"Only if the murderer of the grandmaster is Young Master Mu Liangyi, Young Master Mu Liangyi will not be able to obtain any inheritance from the grandmaster, and all the personal inheritance of the grandmaster will be inherited by Aono-ryu at that time. Yoshiko Hanasaki said hatefully, "Morio Yakura, you really have a good calculation. ”

The Yokozo Police Department asked, "Mr. Yakura, do you have anything else to explain?"

"Why?" Morio Yakura asked Yamazaki, "Why do you see everything like you?"

Yamazaki said, "Because you're so greedy, Mr. Yakura. If you throw your gloves outside, then the police will only suspect you at most if there is insufficient evidence for this incident, and in the end, you will only have to close the case as an outsider. But you want to blame Mr. Aono for it, so much so that you have to leave the strongest evidence in the house and narrow down the list of suspects to four. Being able to strangle Grandmaster Aono to death without making him make a sound, Miss Masako and Miss Hanasaki, who are women, are less suspicious, and the blood relationship between father and son is not something that anyone can cut off, so your future lord is suspicious. ”

"That's true. Henggou Police Department said.

"The rest of the speculation is really nothing to us at the Maori Detective Agency. Yamazaki asked Maori, "Did you say, uncle?"

"Yes, yes, that's exactly right," Maori smirked, "this kind of piece of cake can be done with you as an assistant, and I don't need to be a detective at all." ”

"I would also like to thank my uncle for giving me the opportunity to do an internship. Yamazaki said.

"No thanks, no thanks, that's as it should be. Maori smiled happily.

Conan puffed up his triangular eyes, Uncle said nicely, if you really want to go out, it's strange that you can do it.

"Alright, Mr. Yakura, please come with us. The Henggou Police Department said, "Everyone, please go back with me and make a record." ”

"Yokozo Police Department, I've just said what I need to say, and Midaiko and I have to rush back to Tokyo," Yamazaki asked, "We won't go, okay?"

"Oh well. Henggou Police Department said. ……
