Tuesday, September 3, Rice Flower Town, Teidan Elementary School.

In the morning, Conan found that Ayumi had arrived at school at almost ten o'clock. So I cared about it during the lunch recess. As a result, she was called by the police for questioning, because there was a robbery incident in Sanchome, and the police are not sure who did it for the time being, and now they are investigating the victim's home in the apartment building one by one. Because the victim lives next door to Dr. Hako Sawaki, that's why I went to Ayumi who was with Dr. Sawaki yesterday for questioning.

"Uncle police came to my house in the morning and asked me where I was at half past seven last night. Ayumi said, "I told the police uncle that I was extracting teeth from Dr. Ye at that time yesterday, and then I was still watching Kamen Superman together inside." Then he said with a sad face, "But I saw almost nothing yesterday. ”

"Why?" Mitsuhiko asked, "Didn't you say you saw it with Dr. Ye?"

"I just saw the front and somehow fell asleep. Ayumi said.

"Asleep?" Conan asked, "What's the matter, Ayumi? ”

"I felt a little tired after the tooth extraction yesterday, so I fell asleep in the lounge, and then I was woken up by the doctor, but I fell asleep again at the beginning of the tooth and then woke up at the end. Ayumi said, "So I didn't see anything at all." ”

Something was wrong, Conan thought to himself, and Yamazaki didn't return to Mei Dai until about eight o'clock in the evening last night, and he set off from Mei Dai at about seven and five to send Dr. Asai Xiang to Dr. Sawaki Hako's clinic, and it stands to reason that he should return to Mei Dai at about half past seven anyway. Could it be that Dr. Sawaki is not at the clinic and they have gone to another place to find her?

Yuan Tai smiled: "You don't have to be so disappointed, I think someone must have recorded it yesterday, let's go to the class and ask about it." ”

"Wait a minute," Conan asked, "Ayumi, do you remember what time it was after the tooth extraction?"

Ayumi thought for a moment and said, "It's about seven and a half o'clock." ”

"Did you run into Dr. Asai Xiang? Did she go to the clinic?" Conan said, "and the doctor who chased me yesterday, she didn't wear her own shoes, and said she was going back to change her shoes." ”

"I don't know, I don't know if she came when she was asleep. Ayumi said, then asked, "By the way, Conan, she didn't treat you yesterday, did she?"

"No, I don't. Conan laughed, and then asked, "Why did you fall asleep again?"

Ayumi said, "I don't know, after taking painkillers, I was very focused on watching TV, but after a while I was so sleepy that I fell asleep again." ”

"Painkillers?" Conan muttered to himself, could it be sleeping pills?

Mitsuhiko asked, "Ayumi, isn't it painful to extract your teeth?"

"I'm going to be anesthetic. "But it will hurt a lot later." ”

Ayumi smiled, "I have Kamen Superman blessing, so it doesn't hurt at all." Then he explained, "I found a deck of Kamen Superman cards on the table in the break room, and I put them in my pocket before extracting my teeth. ”

"So you used Kamen Superman's playing cards as a talisman. Yuan Tai smiled, "I'll try it next time." ”

"And then?" asked Conan.

Ayumi smiled, "I thanked it and put it back again." ”

Oh, it was a bonus, if my guess was true, Conan thought to himself, Sawaki Hako used Ayumi to make an alibi, so the robber was her. There are three ways to make an alibi, someone, time, and place, and what Ayumi said must be true, so there is only time and place left. Thinking of this, Conan asked again, "Then when did you come home?"

"It's a little past eight," Ayumi said with a smile, "Dr. Ye drove me home." ”

A little after eight o'clock, after Kamen Superman ended, it was almost this time when I drove from the clinic to Ayumi's house. Conan thought to himself, this time is no problem, so it is a change of location halfway, and the proof is the playing card. ……

After school in the afternoon, Conan returned to the Maori Detective Agency to find the Twilight Police Department talking to Maori.

"He said he had been robbed, but it was strange that he had lost something and could not squeak and say. The Twilight Police Department asked, "Maori, what do you think about this incident?"

Maori asked rhetorically, "Isn't that Mr. Katsuhiko Nakamoto in the money lending business?"

After thinking for a moment, the Dusk Police Department said, "It's quite possible. ”

Conan asked, "Dusk Police Department, what incident are you talking about, is it an incident related to Dr. Sawaki Hako?"

"Yes," the Twilight Police Department laughed, "Oh, by the way, Conan, that Ayumi Yoshida is your classmate, and I heard her say that you sent her to the Sawaki Dental Clinic." ”

"Yes. Conan said, then asked, "Dusk Police, what exactly happened to the incident?"

The victim, Mr. Katsuhiko Nakamoto, said that he suddenly heard a knock on the door at 7:29 p.m. last night, but as soon as he opened the door, he didn't know anything until almost 8 o'clock. "The problem is, he only went to the Rice Flower Police Station in the morning to report to the police, and he was also slurring his words, and the Rice Flower Police Station reported the matter." ”

Conan asked, "Dusk Police, are you suspicious of Dr. Sawaki now?"

"Dr. Sawaki?" the Twilight Police Department laughed, "She has a motive, but she has a clear alibi......"

Maori interjected and asked, "What's the motive?"

"Katsuhiko Nakamoto was arrested 20 years ago in a village in Yamanashi Prefecture on suspicion of abduction and murder, and a nine-year-old boy was killed at the time, but Mr. Nakamoto was not prosecuted because of insufficient evidence, so he was released. "The boy who was killed had a younger sister who was only seven years old at the time, and she is now Miss Hako Sawaki. ”

Mori touched her chin and said, "In other words, if Sawaki Hako finds something that could put Mr. Nakamoto in a bad situation, she has a very good incentive to steal it." ”

"It's impossible, it's about fifteen minutes by car from Miss Sawaki's clinic to her apartment building, Mr. Nakamoto said he had just finished a phone call when he was unconscious in his apartment, just after 7:29, and then he came to his senses around 7:40. At around 7:30, Ayumi said that she was watching TV with Dr. Sawaki in the lounge of the Sawaki dental clinic, and that ten minutes was too short to rush back to the apartment from the clinic. "In other words, Dr. Sawaki woke up Ayumi at half-past seven to watch Kamen Superman with her, giving her a perfect alibi." ”

"If it weren't for Ayumi's testimony, then she would have had a lot of time...... By the way, I see," Mori stood up and said excitedly, "I see, Twilight Police, let's go, we'll go to Miss Sawaki's apartment now, I'm Detective Mori Kogoro, I'll debunk her alibi in front of her." With that, he rushed downstairs first.

"Apartment?" Conan chuckled, "Uncle Maori got to the point this time, and it seems that his mind has improved because of the bonus." ”

The three of them went downstairs just in time to see Yamazaki, Midaiko, Ran, and Sonoko returning from school.

Conan immediately asked, "Brother Yamazaki, we're going to Dr. Hazuko Sawaki's apartment, do you want to go with us?"

"By the way, Yamazaki, you come along," Mori, who was already in the back seat of the police car, stuck his head out of the car and said, "I have something to ask you." ”

"Yes, Uncle Maori. Yamazaki laughed, then smiled at Midako, "Help me bring the bag back." With that, he handed the bag to Maidi, and then got into the car and sat next to Maori. Conan sat down, and the Twilight Police Department sat in the passenger seat.

Maori asked, "When did you send Dr. Asai away last night, why don't I know?"

"You went upstairs to deliver beer. Yamazaki whispered in Maori's ear, and continued, "It's past seven o'clock." Then he asked, "Is there a problem, Uncle Maori?"

"We suspect she is involved in a robbery incident, please elaborate on it." ”

"Well," said Yamazaki, "Dr. Asai came to Media's with Conan in Dr. Sawaki's shoes, and then she wanted to go back to the clinic to change it, and my mother saw that it was getting late, so she asked me to send her there." We went to the clinic and found out that she was not there, we called her and she said she was okay and told us to go to her house at half past eight. Then I waited with Dr. Asai at the fast food restaurant next to Rice Flower Park until about 10:80, and then Dr. Asai got in the car and went to Dr. Sawaki's apartment, and I walked back to Maidai's restaurant. I think the workers at the fast food restaurant should remember us because Dr. Asai used to rent their fax machine. ”

Maori touched his chin and asked, "Dusk Police Department, did Ayumi tell me when she finished extracting her teeth?"

"I know," Conan said preemptively, "Ayumi said it was about seven and five. ”

The Twilight Police Department said, "This is the time. ”

Maori said happily: "So, my inference is not wrong. Then he asked, "Dusk Police, can there be that ...... in this incident," he said, rubbing the first three fingers of his right hand.

Raising his triangular eyes, the Dusk Police Department said angrily: "There is no loss, at most this." He raised a finger as he spoke.

"So little?" said Maori, dejectedly, "Well, it's better than nothing." ”……

Dr. Sawaki's apartment, the door of the apartment was wide open, and before he could enter the door, he could smell the detergent, and Mori exclaimed, "Oh no, she ruined all the evidence." With that, he rushed in first.

Sawaki Hako came out of the room, stood in front of Maori, who had just put on his slippers, and asked, "Dusk Police Department, who are you?"

The Twilight Police Department introduced, "Doctor Sawagi, this is Detective Kogoro Mori, and this is his assistant Yamazaki. ”

"Maori Kogoro!" Sawaki Hako was taken aback and said in a lost voice, "It's the sleeping Kogoro from the last TV broadcast......"

Maori said happily, "Yes, I'm the sleeping Kogoro......"

Sawaki Hako continued, "That mold star?"

"Uh......" Maori froze. The Twilight Police Department, Yamazaki, and Conan laughed together.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Maori. Sawaki Hako smiled.

"No, it doesn't matter. Maori said with a twitch of the corners of his mouth.

"Do you have a toothache?" asked Sawaki Hako, "Why don't I help you take a look?"

"......" Maori was completely speechless.

"Ahem!" said the Twilight Police Department, "Doctor Sawaki, I'm sorry to disturb you without notice." ”

Sawaki Yezi stepped aside and said, "It's rude, everyone, please come in." ”

"Dr. Sawaki, are you cleaning?" asked Maori.

"Yes," Dr. Sawaki said, "because I was called by the police in the morning for questioning, I postponed my appointment for today's clinic, and then it was almost noon after being questioned by the police, so I just hired a cleaning company to clean up, and they just left for a short time." Then he said, "You guys, please, I'll make coffee." ”

"Please wait a minute, don't bother you to make coffee, please listen to my reasoning now," Mori said, "because you are the one who went to Katsuhiko Nakamoto's house to steal, Sawaki Hako." ”

"But Brother Maori, she has an alibi. ”

Maori said: "The police department, she called Ayumi up last night to see the location of Kamen Superman, in fact, it was not at the clinic, but here, that is, after she extracted Ayumi's teeth, she took advantage of the effect of the anesthetic needle to bring her here." Then he pointed to a room that was different from the other rooms in the apartment, full of childlike fun, and there was a deck of Kamen Superman playing cards on the table, and said to Sawaki Hako, "I think this is the room." It's a simple thing for you to wake up Ayumi and then make her look at the beginning of Kamen Superman and then stun her out.

Conan interjected, "Ayumi said she fell asleep shortly after taking painkillers. ”

"That's sleeping pills. "Dr. Sawagi, after stealing something from Katsuhiko Nakamoto's house, you rushed back to the clinic with Ayumi and then woke her up to see the ending of Kamen Superman." ”

"Good, right in the heart. Conan muttered quietly.

Yamazaki whispered, "The reasoning is correct, but it's a little late, and the evidence has been cleaned." ”

"It's not too late. Conan laughed, "There's one more." ”

"That's a great thing, it's worthy of a Maori brother. The Twilight Police Department laughed, and then asked, "Miss Sawaki Hako, do you have anything to say?"

Sawaki Hako asked, "Detective Maori, your speculation is very reasonable, but is there any evidence?"

"Uh......" Maori froze.

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Brother Maori, don't you have any evidence?"

"There was evidence, Dusk Police," Mori said with a wry smile, "Ayumi must have had her hair on the couch or something, and she might have touched something in the room, but now that she's called the cleaning company, the evidence is definitely gone." ”

Conan interjected again: "By the way, I heard Ayumi say that because she was afraid of toothache, she took a Kamen Superman playing card from the table as a talisman before extracting her teeth, and put it back when she watched TV after tooth extraction." ”

Seeing that Sawaki Yezi's face changed, Mao Li smiled: "Twilight Police Department, the cleaning company doesn't clean the playing cards, there must be Ayumi's fingerprints on them, maybe there will be one more." ”

The Twilight Police Department immediately stepped forward to check, and after a few moments, they found two identical cards from the playing cards, and asked, "Miss Hako Sawaki, what else do you say?"

Sawaki Hako said, "I don't have anything to say. ”

The Dusk Police Department said, "Then please come with us." ”

"Maori detective, you live up to your reputation. Sawaki Hako said.

"Of course, I'm Detective Kogoro Mori. Maori laughed.

Sawaki Hako said again: "Conan, you also did a good job, no wonder Ayumi said that you are also a detective." ”

"Where, where. Conan said embarrassedly, and then looked at Sawaki Hako's calm face, and his heart immediately rose again, something is wrong. ……
