Chapter Twenty-Four: That's right!

Takagi's hospitality didn't stop Aya Emoto from going home. Under their repeated persuasion, Jiang Bencai finally said the reason why he was in a hurry to go home.

Her cousin Kota, who lives at her house, is still at home alone. And Kota also met a strange uncle before, who gave him a limited Kamen Superman card.

Emoto had no intention of explaining that it was a prank by one of his friends. Because when Kota was at Uncle Blame's house, Emoto's voice came from the landline in that person's house.

"Then what did you say at the time?" Matsuda and Sato stopped fighting at this time and walked over.

"That's what happened tonight. Emoto said indifferently.

"Did you say your sister would come tonight too?" Matsuda put away his joking expression.

Hearing Matsuda's question, Conan and Sato were also sensitive to the need to know more.

"That's it. Emoto thought for a moment and replied.

"So your friend knows that there is only one child at home tonight?" Matsuda's words made Emoto Aya's face meet the standard.

"No, I'm going back to see Kota. "Aya Emoto is leaving.

"Let's go together. Matsuda sighed. I know that I will definitely not worry about meeting Conan.

"I'll go with Sato. Matsuda looked back at Yumi and Chiba, and then used a good excuse to shake off Takagi's light bulb: "The two of them will be handed over to you to take back." ”

"Ahh Takagi, who is a good friend of Chiba, can only reluctantly agree.

When the Emoto sisters and brothers and the Mori trio plus Matsuda Sato hurriedly ran to Aya Emoto's house, Kota was still gone.

A line left on the computer monitor of the computer at home: Your cousin is here with me, prepare 1 million yen immediately, contact you later, and if you call the police, don't blame me for tearing up the ticket.

Seeing this, Jiang Bencai panicked all of a sudden.

Emoto looked at Matsuda and Sato at Ma Daha: "Aren't you police?"

"yes. Matsuda shrugged, "Just to save you time arguing about whether or not to call the police." ”

"Our advantage now is that the police don't know about it, but the prisoners don't know that we are the police. Sato analyzed, "Let's find out if there are any bugs or anything left." ”

"Don't worry, no. Matsuda still has this professional quality: "I checked it when you were looking for Kota. Let's talk about the first time Kota met that weirdo. ”

"Here's the thing. Emoto sat on the sofa in the living room and began to speak, "It was about two weeks ago on Saturday, Kota went out to play, and when he came back, it was already past eight o'clock, right? ”

"It's eight o'clock? "Maori is the only one here who has ever had a child.

"Yes, I was in a hurry and wanted to call the police, but Kota came back as if nothing happened. Jiang Bencai said: "Because he also apologized, saying that he would never do it again, don't tell his parents." I didn't blame him too much, I didn't expect to meet such a terrible person. ”

"Then do you have anything valuable at home?" Matsuda looked left and right: "It doesn't look like you've rummaged through, or do you have savings?"

"Nope. Jiang Bencai shook his head: "I shouldn't have anything to steal at home." ”

Matsuda keenly noticed that Emoto's behavior was a little strange: "Do you remember anything?"

"Huh? No. Emoto quickly shook his head.

"Tell me who you called that day, if it's a friend you invited to socialize with. It must have been the announcement that he didn't show up today. Matsuda asked.

"Ah, one is my friend Rokuta, who I grew up playing with, and my junior in high school. Emoto said, "The third one is a former regular customer of the gym where I work, Mr. Sazuka. None of the three are bad guys. ”

"Do you remember when you called them?" asked Sato.

"Rokuta's words should be in the afternoon, Inkya is in the evening, and Satsuka's words are already around seven o'clock in the evening. Emoto recalled.

So that means it's all when Kota isn't at home? Matsuda scratched his head a little. What is it for? Since he is a friend of Emoto, he must have a motive, right? You should know that the Emoto family can't come up with a million. Where exactly did this number come about?

"Are your illustrations valuable?" Matsuda was not the only one who was entangled in this, and Kogoro asked Aya Emoto directly.

Jiang Bencai shook his head: "I'm just a newcomer who just debuted, and I don't have much fame." ”

This year's jackpot is Hawaii Tourism, and if you sell it, you can probably get a lot of money. Kogoro said on a whim.

What the hell is that? New Year's card? Is it going to be the New Year again? Matsuda scratched his head even more. Wait, why am I saying again? It's still a long way to go this year.

"Impossible, aren't the greeting cards sent by the three of them still sitting well on the table?" said Emoto, standing up and getting the three greeting cards on the table.

"And these three didn't win at all. Emoto added, "I check every time I send a postcard to my home. ”

"My sister is different from me, and she is very attentive to these lottery things. Emoto said.

"At least it's a lot better than you collect cards. Emoto Aya fought back dissatisfied.

"Collect cards?" Conan asked curiously.

"Like Kota, I've loved collecting Kamen Superman battle cards since I was a child. Even now, there are collections. Emoto said.

Hehe, that's why I know about the limited edition card that Shota got. Conan relieved a doubt in his mind.

Set card control. Matsuda couldn't help but think of the little raccoon Water Margin cards he collected when he was a child.

"If you really doubt them, let's go straight to their house. "Their homes are so close to here that you can walk to them," Emoto said. And they all said that they couldn't go to the friendship because they had something at home tonight. ”

"That's for the best. Matsuda, who noticed that something was wrong with Emoto, agreed: "Then I'll go with Sato and pretend that the friendship has just returned." ”

"Is it just the three of you?" Kogoro asked worriedly, "Can you do it?"

"Don't worry, it's definitely not appropriate to bring an uncle of your age. Matsuda waved his hand: "What's more, if you are recognized as the detective, you will definitely be exposed." Stay here and wait for the prisoners to contact us, and you can help Miss Emoto get an idea while we're not there. ”

"Oh well. Considering that the prisoner might indeed contact Matsuda when they left, Kogoro didn't insist.

"I, I'm going too. Conan said as he jumped to his feet.

"What are you little hairy boy mixed with? Matsuda pressed Conan's head with one hand and pressed down: "Who's going to have a child at the same time." ”

Looking at Conan with an angry face, Sato squatted down and touched Conan's head: "This kid is quite clever, why don't you take it with you." If you have children, the other person may not be guarded. ”

"That's it. Conan didn't want to be able to go to face together, and he was cute to Sato.

Leaving Emoto's house, I soon arrived at the apartment where Rokuta lived. Emoto searched in the apartment mailbox and found Rokuta's name, which said 203.

Then when he walked towards room 203, Sato couldn't help but ask, "Have you never been here?"

"yes. I used to go to his hometown when I was a child, and then after moving to the city, I gradually became less connected. Emoto said as he found room 203 and pressed the doorbell.

Liuda's full name is Liutian Zhuoer, a composer who has no interest, and when he was young, he and Emoto worked in a band together, but then the people's hearts were scattered, and he was the only one who still insisted.

Aside from composing, my biggest hobby is the lottery. Sato falsely claimed to be playing in a group with Matsuda, and he came to see it after the friendship when he heard Emoto mention Rokuta. Matsuda saw in Rokutaya that in addition to various musical instruments, there were a lot of lottery tickets on the table.

"You still like to buy lottery tickets so much. Emoto also saw the lottery ticket on the table and leaned over to take a look.

"Isn't this the end of the year, I also sent it to you before, so it's better to do it. Rokuta pointed out.

"Forget it, you won't win anyway, but if you have the money to buy lottery tickets, you might as well find a better place to live. When he was about to leave, Emoto turned around and said, "Take a look at the stuffed mailbox, maybe there's something good." ”

Matsuda, who had been paying close attention to Emoto, also noticed it. They deliberately stayed behind when they went downstairs, and then passed by the mailbox and pulled out the pile of letters from Rokuta, and quickly glanced at one of them, which was signed by Shoshi Emoto. Matsuda didn't pull it out alone, but stuffed it back with his backhand.

Conan didn't see Matsuda's behavior, but he couldn't see him when they walked together, and when he looked back, he saw Matsuda alone with his flip phone, his thumb constantly tapping on it.

"What are you doing? Conan slowed down and stood shoulder to shoulder with Matsuda.

"What's the matter with you. Matsuda ignored the phone and put it away.

The full name of the inhibition house is Inkya Mensei, a 25-year-old otaku. It's similar to Chiba's hobbies.,It's just more explicit than Chiba.,Chiba only dares to collect some Kamen Superman figures mixed with one or two beautiful girl models.。

This is not the case.,The room is full of beautiful girl figures.。 And what he and Emoto talked about the most was the Potato Queen Platinum Card worth 800,000 yen.

Looking at his appearance, Matsuda felt that if the platinum card they said was not a queen but a masked superman, it was estimated that 8 million would not want this fat man.

Coming out of here, Matsuda shook his head: "It shouldn't be him." ”

"How are you sure?" asked Conan, confused.

"I've seen photos of Kota, it's not this otaku dish. Matsuda didn't say anything for the rest of the sentence. Haotai doesn't have the temperament to let this kind of dead house earn money for three years without losing money for an indefinite period of time.

The third Satsuka, whose full name is Yoshikane Satsuka. He is a banknote collector who once borrowed some money from Emoto because he couldn't turn around for a while, and he has already paid it back.

In other words, the Emoto family may have 1 million yen of things, including a lottery ticket sent by Rokuta, an event limited package given to Emoto by Hikiya, and Satsuka may have misplaced the wrong or heavily numbered banknote when he returned the money.

Matsuda was already a little frowning when he came out of Satsuka's house, until his phone rang. Matsuda glanced at the incoming call and smiled: "I still have something, so I'll go first." ”

"Hey, there's a kidnapping here. Sato said dissatisfied.

"You can appease Miss Emoto. Matsuda blinked: "I'll definitely bring it back with Kota." ”

Matsuda trotted all the way to the apartment where Rokuta lived. Then Yue Shui came out of the dark corner and said to him: "Senior, a child came out of this apartment that you asked me to monitor not long ago. It should be the kidnapped child Kota you reported. ”

"Sure enough, it's him. Matsuda said as expected.

"Senior, how do you know?" Yue Shui looked at him with adoring little stars.

Of course, Matsuda didn't say that he saw Emoto and Rokuta's eyebrows, but coughed and said, "Ahem, that's because I ruled out two other suspects." ”

"If you don't open the card package that Hikiya gave to Emoto in advance, you won't know if you have won the lottery, and the chance of committing a crime for an uncertain thing is very low. And although Satsuka may have misplaced it himself, the banknotes are different from other things, and they must be in Emoto's wallet, so there is no need to ask their furnishings through their children at all. Matsuda was so eloquent that he had completely forgotten that they hadn't been to the other two at all when he texted Koshisui to spy on Rokuta. Everything is a reverse reasoning after knowing the answer.

"Then only Rokuta remains. If it's a lottery ticket, he naturally knows the lottery number given to Emoto, as long as he confirms the winning numbers and whether anyone is going to claim the jackpot. Yue Shui was very cooperative: "That's why he asked Jiang Ben's sisters and brothers about their living habits, and planned to secretly get the lottery ticket back." But because he couldn't find it, he kidnapped the child. ”

"That's right. Matsuda suddenly thought of something and asked Yue Shui: "You said he let the child go?"

"That's right. Yue Shui said, "This person seems to have a little conscience." ”

"When's the matter?" Matsuda couldn't wait for Yueshui to answer, so he rushed to Rokuta's apartment.
