Tuesday, May 6th, 7 p.m., Mei Dai Restaurant.

Shortly after Yamazaki, Maidiko, Ran, and Conan were free, Mori came in and asked for a set meal with a dozen beers. The current set menu is like this: 12 cans of beer, 8 large skewers, 1 kitchen spoon of chowder, 3 tablespoons of fried peanuts or pickled cucumber slices and other side dishes, and 1 spoonful of meat sauce. This is just implemented this month, and the price is the same as the original, but the large skewers of cooking have been reduced, but the spoons are all bigger, and everything is consumed by the consumption tax. Mori then sat down at the old position, at the long table facing the wall across from the counter.

Ran, Maidiko, and Yamazaki sat next to Mori with Mori's beer and food, and Conan sat next to Yamazaki, the seat furthest from Mori.

Listening to Maori talk about what he encountered in the Ministry of Transportation, Lan asked suspiciously: "Dad, it stands to reason that you should have come back a long time ago, why did you get to now?"

Maori said: "I went to the search class again and asked the Twilight Police Department about the incident. ”

Lan asked, "What did the Twilight Police Department say?"

The Twilight Police Department said that the convenience store owner behaved strangely, and he confessed to killing people, kidnapping Xiaohong, and planning to kill Xiaohong and Conan, but he refused to admit that he cut the rope with a knife and the car accident, but the evidence of cutting the rope with a knife was conclusive, and he finally pleaded guilty. "But no evidence has been found in the accident, so it can't be blamed on the convenience store owner." ”

"I see. Lan said.

"It's really weird. Mei Daiko said.

"It's not good for economic reasons. Yamazaki said.

"Economic reasons?" said Maori, "this is impossible, the police have checked, he should have destroyed the IOU when he killed the loan shark, no one knows how much money he once owed, but now he still has nearly 700,000 yen in his name, which is definitely enough to pay for the broken cement pipe and the money for this car accident." ”

"No, maybe it's because of his children," Lan said sadly, "and he might want to leave some more child support, even though he's divorced from his wife." ”

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

At this time, a news was broadcast on the small TV on the table, and avian flu appeared, hoping that everyone would pay attention.

"Miko, what kind of avian flu is this, no problem. Mori turned to Miko Miyamoto behind the counter and shouted.

"Stupid, what's it called, eat your stuff. Mimiko Miyamoto said angrily.

"Yes. Mei Daiko chimed in, and then said, "I'm going to watch TV." Then he left, followed by Yamazaki, Conan, and Ran.

"What?" Maori reacted, smirking dryly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief, really, I didn't want that guy to come back and take care of me, thinking of this, I poured a beer. ……

Later, the convenience store owner was sentenced to fourteen years. The six-year sentence for killing the loan shark and mutilating his body was a compassionate light sentence given his circumstances. He was sentenced to eight years in prison for attempting to kidnap Xiaohong and kill him and four members of the detective team, which was a heavy sentence considering that the subjects were all children and the circumstances were aggravated. ……

Wednesday, May 7, morning, Didan Elementary School.

After the four members of the detective group met, they each vomited their bitterness, and Yuan Tai pointed to his ears and said, "I was carried home by my ears, and then I was beaten in the ass." ”

Mitsuhiko said, "I wrote three checks to my father's satisfaction. ”

Ayumi said: "I made repeated promises to make my mother no longer sad. ”

Yuan Tai said enviously: "Conan is the best, and the Maori detectives didn't punish him." ”

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi immediately chimed in: "That's, that's." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Conan smiled reluctantly, while inwardly complaining that Maori was not trustworthy. If you look closely, you can see that Conan is now sitting with his body leaning forward, because if he leans back slightly, he will have to grin and "hiss" to inhale. Because Maori attacked Conan last night while Lan was going to take a shower, and beat Conan's ass swollen. ……

In the afternoon, after school, Conan came to Dr. Asasa's house.

Conan leaned on the bed and asked, "Dr. Asasa, you said that because of that birthday card, the police came to you today, did you hear any new news?"

Dr. Asasa said, "I heard from Officer Takagi, who took the record for me, based on the video recorded by the police from the surveillance equipment installed by various courier companies......

Conan asked, "Wait, you mean the courier company has a camera?"

"I heard that soon after the continuous explosives were delivered, the police asked the major courier companies to place cameras. It's just that no similar people have been found. ”

Conan said, "Ah, go on." ”

"Now, based on the estimated height and weight of the prisoner, the police have zeroed in on the tape a man who is neither fat nor thin, and has no body shape characteristics. "The police also locked down a car, but it was suspected that it was the burned car in the factory that was on fire." ”

Conan asked, "Even if it's burned, there can be some clues, right?"

"The police found that there was something like an accelerant in the fire, which made the flame very hot, so so far nothing of value has been found from the fire. Dr. Asasa said.

"Accelerants, he must have made them himself, right?" Conan sighed, "what a great guy." ”

"Yes, the police have confirmed that the prisoner has some knowledge in materials science, electronics, and radio science. Dr. Asasa said.

Conan asked, "So, what about architecture?"

"I've never heard this from Officer Takagi. Dr. Asasa said, then asked, "Are you still suspicious of Professor Moritani?"

"You see, you didn't receive any more calls from the prisoners when you came back that day. Conan said, "Why? Because Professor Moriya is not in Tokyo." ”

Dr. Asa said, "You can't say that, can you? At that time, there was no need for the prisoner to call again. ”

"Yes, the problem is the letter informing the police that there are a lot of explosives underneath the Rice Flower Building. "There's no way the prisoner knows if the red and blue line explosives will be dismantled, so it stands to reason that the prisoner will keep an eye on the incident and then call the police afterwards to inform the police that there are a lot of explosives underneath the Rice Flower Building." If the police hadn't noticed the letter, the explosives would have been on the ground, and the people in the square would have had time to run away, but they might still have killed people, which was clearly not what he wanted, given the prisoner's habits. ”

"No," Dr. Asasa asked, "if that's the case, why is the explosives so big and so insidious?"

"Because in his heart, this explosive was first dismantled by my Kudo Shinichi, with drawings. When the passage on the fifth floor is opened, I will leave the Rice Flower Building with explosives, and at that time," Conan explained, "the time when the passage will be opened can be estimated for him who designed the Rice Flower Building." Then he said, "Because the explosives are insidious, there is no time for others to dismantle them, so I will take the initiative to ask to continue to dismantle the explosives, and because the explosives are large, there is no suitable explosion site around, so I can only hurriedly find a place with few people for me to continue to dismantle the explosives, and notify the local people to leave." Because of the large amount of explosives, there was no way to estimate the exact force of the explosion, so I had to continue to dismantle it to buy time for the others to retreat as far away as possible. Then you will enter the selection time of the red line and the blue line. ”

"I see. Dr. Asasa said.

"Now there are two accidents in this situation," Conan said, "there was an accident on his side, he didn't expect the passage on the fifth floor to open a little faster than he calculated, and likewise, there was an accident on my side, because I was trapped in the building with the drawings, and the drawings couldn't be delivered, and the explosives couldn't be transported out at all." ”

"That's true. Dr. Asasa said.

Therefore, the letter affixed to the base of the wrapping paper seems to show the clever layout of the prisoner, but in fact it shows the criminal's compulsion, and the prisoner had no way to contact the police at that time, and I could only hope that this letter might not be found. Conan said, "So the prisoner is likely to be Professor Moriya, because he was on the plane at the time, and it was easy to find out using the phone on the plane, so there was no way to call." ”

Dr. Asa said, "Then he can also specify the time to send the letter, just like the birthday card." ”

"Dr. Asasa, have you forgotten when this letter is going to arrive?" Conan laughed, "It's possible to visit at nine or ten o'clock in the evening without notice, because I don't sleep at most of them, but after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, I don't think any courier company will suddenly visit a house at this time." If there is such a letter, the courier company will definitely greet the recipient a few hours in advance, and you are the recipient, you will definitely tell Kudo Shinichi, and Kudo Shinichi will definitely tell the police, and the police will get this letter early, maybe they will have time to remove the explosives, so that the rice flower building will be saved? This is definitely not what he wants to see. ”

Dr. Asasa said, "According to you, Professor Moriya is indeed suspicious. Then he laughed, "Okay, you can put your pants on, the medicine is dry." ”

Conan complained, "It's all Uncle Maori's fault." Then he asked, "When will it be okay?"

Dr. Asa smiled, "I think it will be fine tomorrow morning." Then he chatted with Conan about the rescue of Xiaohong with the detective team the day before yesterday, and told Conan to pay attention to safety.

Conan asked, "By the way, Doctor, I want a small flashlight, can you put it on my watch?"

"Of course you can. Dr. Asasa laughed, and continued, "I think it's good to make one for Genta and them too." ”

At this time, financial news began to be broadcast on TV...... Unlike the predicted plunge, the Nikkei opened low and moved higher today, rose sharply again after falling sharply during the session, and finally closed with a slight decline...... Similar to the prediction, due to the destruction of the ring line, railway transportation stocks fell sharply today, and the closing price of Toshin Railway Company was too low, and it entered the stage of suspending and liquidating assets. Affected by the collapse of the Rice Flower Building, a number of related stocks fell sharply, and real estate stocks, construction stocks, and department store stocks were adversely affected. ……

Conan smiled: "Professor Moriya has really lost a lot of money, and I don't know if his family property is enough to compensate." ”

Dr. Asasa couldn't help but laugh and said, "If it's not enough, you'll be spanked." ”

"It's almost time, I'm gone, goodbye. Conan was defeated. ……
