Before falling to the ground, Yutaka Abe seemed to hear a familiar voice.

The voice shouted happily: "My lord, this kick is wonderful!" ”

…… Masaki Negishi?

No...... He's dead!

Shocked and frightened, Yutaka Abe lost consciousness.

Conan was also startled by this turn, and he fell to the ground, and it took a few seconds for him to recover, "...... Why are you here?! ”

"Huh? Of course, it's because the radio suddenly mentioned Yutaka Abe and Masaki Negishi. Bai Shu also glanced at him and asked with a serious face, "What's the matter with you?" If you don't follow the adults, what are you doing here? ”

"Uh......", Conan was momentarily speechless.

He paused, and had to try to get through the level again, holding up the tape recorder, "I saw that this uncle was sneaky, so I followed him, and then picked up a tape recorder on the road, hahaha." ”

"Oh." , Bai Shu didn't poke him, cooperatively took the tape recorder and pressed the play button.

The voice of Yutaka Abe's confession came out again.

"Well, now we can convict him!" , Conan was very happy, he didn't have the slightest affection for this obsessive prisoner.

"Well......", Bai Shu didn't nod immediately.

Under Conan's gaze, he paused for a few seconds before he said with some regret, "But Conan, if the police station files a case and values evidence rather than confession, and there is no complete chain of evidence, if he insists that he was forced to say it, or is joking, it may be difficult to convict him." ”

"What?" Conan was stunned for a moment.

Just kidding, the confession he cheated at the risk of being beaten up can't be used to convict?!

Under Conan's dull gaze, another group of people rushed to the parking lot, none other than Kogoro Mori and the Twilight Police Department, who were also puzzled by the broadcast.

…… After a jump, a group of people returned to the police station.

Yutaka Abe also woke up at this time, covering his forehead without saying a word, and was temporarily detained in the infirmary of the police station.

Others gathered in the inquiry room.

“…… Indeed, if there is only a confession, even if a lawsuit is filed, the other party is likely to overturn the case. Twilight looked at the tape recorder and felt sorry for it, if only there was stronger evidence.

He turned to Conan and Shiraki and asked, "I really didn't see who left this behind?" He most likely has other clues! ”

"Nope." Conan looked a little wilted, and he knew very well that he couldn't come up with any other evidence.

Shiraki also nodded beside him, at least on the surface, he arrived at the parking lot later than Conan, who was the first to "pick up" the tape recorder.

Maori Kogoro held his chin unwillingly and whispered, "However, the murderer must be him......"

"Officer Twilight!" At this time, a police officer suddenly ran over panting with an envelope, "There is evidence!" ”

A group of people looked at him in surprise, "What?!" ”

"There is an unknown letter in the mailbox of the police station, and there is a stack of photos in it, which takes pictures of the murder scene of Yutaka Abe!" The officer wore gloves, and he carefully took out the photo in the envelope and spread it out on the table.

Squeezed over and looked at the photo, and the faces of several people changed instantly.

…… This is indeed irrefutable evidence.

But this also shows that when Yutaka Abe killed Masaki Negishi, there was a third party present!

What kind of identity did the third party play in this case?

Is it an accomplice, or a mere passerby?

"It's ...... The back door of Yutaka Abe's house?! Maori Kogoro finally recognized the scene in the photo, he slammed the table, and said angrily, "Damn, careless, we should have guarded all the entrances and exits one after the other!" ”

……

Although extremely curious about the person who took the photo, the envelope did not have a postmark or mailing address on it, and it was dropped directly into the police mailbox.

Neither the envelope nor the photograph were fingerprinted, and the camera near the mailbox failed to capture the figure.

The mysterious third party was not found out in the end, but with such conclusive evidence, Abe Yutaka had to be brought to justice.

The uncle who loves to drink still wants to mix in the world for a few days, but he is ruthlessly sent away by death.

The days are quiet.

……

No, with Conan there, it is impossible to be calm. The event may be late, but it will never be absent.

On this day, the doorbell of the Maori Detective Agency rang again.

Shiraki opened the door, and there was a glasses lady standing outside the door.

The little girl wore two simple braids, with round glasses, and the clothes on her body were also very unfashionable, although it was not polite to say so, but the first impression was indeed only four words - rustic.

Bai Shu looked at her secretly, and said casually, "Hello, Maori Detective Agency, what is the ......?"

In the middle of the conversation, the girl suddenly grabbed his hand.

Bai Shu was stunned by this enthusiasm for a moment, and before he could speak, two tears crackled on the back of his hand, "Please, Mr. Detective, help me find my father!" ”

"......", this familiar line and commission, made Bai Shu have an impression of her.

He patted the girl on the shoulder, smiled gently, and then turned sideways to open the door, revealing the Maori father and daughter and Conan who were looking curiously at the door behind him, "Come in first, I'm just an assistant, please discuss the matter with the Maori detective." ”

“…… Good. The little girl was a little embarrassed, let go of the white tree, and entered the door with her head down.

Shiraki gave her the visit form, and the little girl wrote the words "Masami Hirota" in the name column on the form.

After filling out the visit form, she whispered, "My family lives in Yamagata Prefecture, and a few months ago, my father came to Tokyo to look for a job and was hired by a taxi company. ”

But in the past month, the family suddenly did not hear from him. When I went to the company to ask, I found out that he had resigned, and the police couldn't find him......"

Mori Kogoro showed a look of sudden realization, "That's why you came to me." ”

"Yes, I have no other way but please." , Masami Hirota looked at him with a sincere face.

Bai Shu sat at the dining table a few meters away and took a sip of the tea handed by Xiaolan.

Today is a rest day, Xiaolan took the initiative to take a look at the chores, and Bai Shu was also happy to be idle and sat next to the play to watch.

Conan was originally curious about the visitor, but when he heard that the other party's commission was to find someone, he suddenly lost interest, lowered his head and began to fiddle with his glasses.

This is a new invention given to him by Dr. Asa not long ago.

Shiraki had been secretly observing, and when he saw a small antenna sticking out of Conan's glasses, he remembered that it seemed to be the glasses used to track.
