"Report to Officer Yuichi, after our investigation and interview with the surrounding neighbors! There are two people on our suspicion list, one is Mr. Kaneto Hanaoka, who frequented the deceased's home, and the other is the courier Kato Taka. Recently, today he often comes to the deceased to pick up the parcel! And we just found this under the table in the living room! ”

"Oh? Ashtray? Have you done a bloodstain test? ”

"It's done! Tests showed a large amount of blood remaining on it, but it was erased! The specific blood comparison will have to be done back to the Metropolitan Police Department, but we still suspect that this ashtray that has been hidden and disposed of may be a murder weapon! ”

"The murder weapon? Well, let's not talk about that! Summons that Kato Taka over and see what is going on with him! ”

"Yes! Officer Yuichi! ”

After the police who came in to report were assigned the task again, Yuichi with an ashtray and nail polish came to the bedroom of Izumi Butterfly, in fact, this murder case already had a suspect in his heart that he was sure to be the murderer, and even the murderer's motive for killing him was somewhat understood, but the other party's murderous methods and arrangements are still a little unclear now, the ashtray in his hand may be the murder weapon that killed Izumi Butterfly, but how to crack the alibi made by the murderer?

Originally, the fingerprints on the ashtray could have been a breakthrough, but it had been specially treated by the murderer who wiped the bloodstains, and the complete fingerprints could no longer be collected. Even if it is proved that Kaneto Hanaoka is the male owner of this house, how can it be proved that he was in this apartment from last night until before Izumi Itano's death today?

It would be nice if there was a surveillance video, but unfortunately this apartment is not there, and this is still a high-end apartment? Phew!

After complaining indignantly about this luxury apartment, Yuichi who needed to find evidence to prove that Kaneto Hanaoka was the murderer studied it carefully on the bed sheets in the bedroom, as a policeman, he only talked about evidence, as long as it can prove that you are the murderer, I will arrest you, and Conan, these detectives, pretend to beep and reason, and then let the murderer feel the power of justice, and automatically confess the law, the mode is completely different, when he can reason, he will enjoy the kind of worship of the people around him, and when he doesn't have that leisure, he can arrest people directly if he has evidence. After all, his previous profession was low-key, efficient and practical.

"There are two main stains of nail polish on the sheets, and if you follow the body shape of a normal person, this application should be on the feet and hands...... Well? Wait, there are still some marks on the pillow, and it seems that the face has also been smeared. Chiba, you go downstairs and invite Miss Ayako Oki over, I have something to ask her! ”

After a careful search of the bedroom, Yuichi slowly paced to the balcony where the deceased jumped off the building, and there was nothing suspicious about the entire balcony, except for a pot of flowers that fell to the ground, only a strangulation mark on the railing.

"This should be Kaneto Hanaoka's criminal modusive! He must have devised an ingenious mechanism and then caused the dead Izumi to fall from the upper floors after he arrived at the company. If Conan was here, he might be interested in this! However, I now have a clue, and if it can't be found on this cunning fellow, let's study these brain-burning modus operandi! I don't know why, I've been a little uplifted lately! ”

Just when Yuichi returned to the living room from the balcony, he made an unexpected discovery when he was rummaging around, in the refrigerator in the living room! He found contact lens cleaning solution, and several bottles. This proves that the deceased Izumi Butterfly did have a habit of wearing contact lenses for a long time, which she may have only worn when she was working. And the murderer obviously often saw her form when she was working, so she subconsciously put on that pair of glasses according to the impression in her mind. In this case, the courier who is just in contact with Izumi Butterfly Nozumi on a daily basis at the door of his house is even less suspicious. And the most important thing is that the thing that Yuichi was looking for at the beginning should have existed even more, but the strange thing is that that thing was not found.

"Hell! The cleaning solution is available, but what about the soaking solution for daily care contact lenses? Why did it disappear inexplicably? Does this have anything to do with the only contact lens found downstairs? ”

Just when Yuichi found new clues and had new questions, the policeman who had been looking for the courier Kato walked in with a thin black man wearing a courier's costume.

"Officer Yuichi, this is the courier in charge of the delivery in this area, Kato Taka, who has already admitted that he came here today to pick up the delivery from Miss Izumi Butterfly!"

"Oh? Are you Kato Eagle? ”

"Yes! Your Excellency, Officer! ”

"Then what is your relationship with Taka Kato?"

"Huh?"

"Ahem! Excuse me! Slip of the tongue? Let's do it again, what time did you come over today to pick up the courier? ”

"About half past six!"

"Half past six? What a delicate time! Did Izumi Butterfly give it to you personally? Or is it something else for you? ”

"No, you called me and left a message and asked me to come and pick it up! It was a man who called, and he said that it was a courier that Miss Izumi Butterfly asked him to help call, and let me come and pick it up at the door myself! He said that Miss Izumi Butterfly would leave the door for me! ”

"Oh? Was this the same way it was delivered before? ”

"No, it was always given to me by Miss Izumi Tsunono herself, and she would tell me to be careful not to lose her paintings! And she usually gives it to me at 6 o'clock, but today the call was delayed by half an hour. ”

"Is that so? Did you find anything strange when you came in? As long as you think it's unreasonable, you can say it! ”

"Strange place? Except for the ones I just mentioned, it's today's door! At first, it was a bit laborious to open it, but when I opened the door, it suddenly struck the wall with its own brush, and the old lady next door came out to see what was going on. Then I heard a thud and finally found this on the ground! ”

"Oh? Is this a nail? Interesting! Thank you for your cooperation! You go to the side room and rest, and we'll let you out when we're done with this place!" You may not know it yet, but Miss Chono died just when you came! So I can only wronged you first, Mr. Kato! ”

"What? Miss Butterfly is dead? I definitely didn't do it! Police officer! You have to trust me! ”

"Don't be nervous, of course we believe in you, that's why we need your cooperation! That way, you can wash away your suspicions and let you leave early, right? Seeing that Kato Taka was suddenly emotional, Yuichi immediately patted him on the shoulder, and his tone was gentle and soothing.

Maybe he figured it out, maybe it was Yuichi's appeasement that had an effect, and Kato Taka, who was still a little scared, gradually calmed down after taking a deep breath, so that he could wash away the suspicion as soon as possible. After hesitating for a long time, he took out a slip from his backpack, which is the mailing slip we want to open when we mail it, it was originally for the privacy of the customer and cannot be disclosed to others at will, but since it is involved in a murder, then it is evidence! I think you might need this, officer.

"Huh? The mailer is actually Kaneto Hanaoka? Interesting! It's so interesting! ”

Just as Yuichi looked at this slip and smiled weirdly, the policeman he sent to find Ayako Oki also walked in with an unhappy look on Ayako Oki.

"Officer Yuichi! Miss Ayako Oki brought! ”

"Hmmm! I know! Sorry for you! ”

After sending the police who reported down, looking at Ayako Oki with an unhappy face, Yuichi, the boss, had a headache.

"Ayako, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong? Miss Ben is in a bad mood today, if it weren't for your studio! I'm definitely going to beat that bastard Kaneto Hanaoka into a mess! He actually made Miss Ben wait for him for an hour and a half! The last person who dared to make me wait like this, the grass on the grave was a foot high! What do you think? Did he kill Izumi Butterfly? I'll just say how did that bastard come so late, and the co-author is here to be happy! Damn! You hurry up to find evidence, and then send him to prison food, to reform, to pick up soap with the prison brother! I'm going to get him into the habit of punctuality in prison! Seeing how proud he was just down there, I wanted to throw up when I looked at it! ”

In the face of Ayako's cannon-like complaints, Yuichi can laugh on the side. He is not an ancient emperor who said that whoever cut off his head, he would cut off his head. Whoever is asked to seppuku will be shown to him in minutes. Is the police going to talk about the good of evidence? But Ayako Oki was so angry that he ran the business of the studio for him, and he couldn't give any promises to Yuichi to laugh on the side.

After Ayako Oki, who also knew this, vented the complaints in her heart, she immediately returned to the competence of the elite in the workplace, took a deep breath and asked Yuichi.

"Say it! What's the trouble? Need my help? If it's reasoning, I don't think you're worse than me! ”

"No, no, no, it's not for you to reason! Just wanted to ask you something! When Kaneto Hanaoka went to meet you at the company, did he have any traces of this nail polish on his body? It is said that it is a new model that was released only today! ”

"Oh? I can't imagine that Kudo boss you still pay attention to this? Grabbing the half bottle of nail polish in Yuu's hand, Ayako shook it and laughed a little jokingly. However, Yuichi, who seems to have the straight male inheritance of the Kudo family, didn't pay attention to this, but nervously snatched the nail polish back.

"Ayako! Getting to the point! And this is evidence, you have to take this with you! Yuichi muttered a little dissatisfied, and handed the other pair of rubber gloves in his pocket to Ayako Oki.

"Good, good! Getting to the point! Ayako, who knew that she had just been a little reckless, didn't say anything else to Yuichi, shrugged her shoulders and began to tell Yuichi.

"I didn't pay attention at first! But when we talked later, I did find this nail polish on Hanaoka Kaneto's little finger, and expressed my dissatisfaction with Hanaoka Kaneto, I don't think his casual behavior does not show that he attaches importance to this negotiation, of course, it is not ruled out that I did see him unhappy at the time, and deliberately picked on his thorns! However, his performance made me feel a little strange, he was shocked when he saw the nail oil print, and deduced that it was the paint he painted and dyed, and then hurried to the bathroom to deal with it! Later, he received a suicide call from Izumi Butterfly in the studio. ”

"Oh? Is that so? Haha, it looks like the murderer is this bastard! Although his alibi technique was not unraveled, it was possible to destroy his alibi with this evidence, was there nail polish on his face at that time? ”

"Nope! Could it be that this nail polish is the key to solving the case? Damn, I knew I wouldn't have reminded him! However, Izumi Butterfly was really killed by him? I knew that as soon as this happened, I thought he was the most suspicious. What do you think? Is it love killing? ”

In the face of the sudden awakening of the soul of gossip and the attribute of chatterbox, she changed the big wooden Ayako who had just been the queen of cold faces. Yuichi covered his face helplessly, then turned around and left the room.

"Go and bring Mr. Kaneto Hanaoka and the others! By the way, in order not to spoil the scene! Let them take off their shoes when they come in, and if they have socks, take them off as well! After getting the evidence he wanted, Yuichi was a little excited and ordered Chiba, who was in charge of collecting information in the living room.

"This ...... Officer Yuichi! That's a bit out of place, isn't it? Chiba, who heard this strange order, frowned and asked weakly, because in most countries, it is not polite to go to someone else's house to take off your socks. No one wants to do that, but the drunkard's intention is not to compromise with Yuichi, who is not drinking?

"Oh? Is this reason a bit perfunctory? Then change it, say that in order to wash away their suspicions, they will collect their foot fingerprints, which is the latest technology of our Metropolitan Police Department, let them cooperate! It's okay now, right? ”

"But do we have the technology?"

"Chiba! Come here! I promise not to kill you! ”

Chiba, who understood that Yuichi just wanted to see everyone's feet, didn't know why Yuichi wanted to look at other people's feet, but after understanding the meaning, he immediately went to carry out the order, otherwise Yuichi would have gone crazy and might have poisoned his wives who had placed on his desk.

So, Kato Carving, Hanaoka Kaneto, and other people related to Izumi Butterfly, who couldn't figure out what Yuichi wanted to do, stood barefoot in the living room.

"Officer Yuichi! I really don't understand what you're tossing, it's clear that Dieye committed suicide by jumping off a building in front of us, you have to say that she was murdered, what murderer are you looking for? Are you trying to get the material for your new comic case? Can you talk to us about it, after all, we're also very busy, okay? My new art book is about to be released.,Your company's Miss Ayako Oki still has some things to negotiate with me.,Please don't mess around, okay? ”

After everyone gathered, Kaneto Hanaoka, who had been interrogated downstairs for a long time, was like a lit cannonball, and said a lot of words.

"Calm down! Mr. Kaneto Hanaoka, would you please calm down? How did Miss Izumi die, this should be a matter for our police to judge, right? Isn't it a bit of an overstep for you to be so arbitrary? And our time is also precious, if there are some doubts, would you be willing to stay here? It's better to sit in the office and drink tea and chat than here, right? So please cooperate with us in handling the case, okay? ”

"Alright! Let's just think that Dieno was killed by someone! That's what kind of toe fingerprints did we come up to, it seems that Officer Kudo has a murderer in his heart! Show us what you're made of! ”

"Hahaha! I will! Don't worry, our game is just beginning! I hope that Mr. Kaneto Hanaoka can still be so tough! After smiling and patting Kaneto Hanaoka on the shoulder with a defiant face, Yu began his own performance.

"Mr. Kaneto Hanaoka spent the night in his studio yesterday, right? I painted until three o'clock in the morning, and then I slept until now, and I missed the five o'clock meeting with Ayako? ”

"Yes! I'm sorry about that! ”

"It's okay, we're done talking about this matter, do you know this bottle of nail polish Kaneto Hanaoka?" In the face of Kaneto Hanaoka's performance, Yuichi didn't say much, but took out the bottle of nail polish again and smiled at Kaneto Hanaoka.

"I don't know! Nail polish for women, I have no interest in researching! ”

"Oh? Is it? It's okay, I have research! I'm going to popularize it to Mr. Hanaoka, this nail polish is quite popular in the whole island country! It was just released today, and as long as there is no shortage of money in their hands, women will buy one and come back to show off, and your subordinate Izumi Butterfly is one of them. She bought this nail polish today and experimented with it on your lover, and it feels pretty good, right? Hanaoka-sensei! ”

"What are you talking about? I don't understand it at all! Officer Yuichi! The police accuser also has to talk about evidence! Otherwise, I can sue you for slander! What a lover! What nail polish! It has nothing to do with me, but I have a complete and happy family! ”

"Oh? Proof! Of course! Although the evidence on your face and hands has been eliminated by you, the evidence on your feet has not been dealt with yet, right? After all, the evidence on your finger was only discovered by Ayako's reminder! Come on, be brave! Don't be afraid! Take out the momentum you just had, and let's take a good look at your jade feet. ”

"Enough! Izumi Butterfly, that woman! I curse her to hell! That's right, I killed people! I didn't expect her to draw so many marks on me, if it weren't for her ......" Kaneto Hanaoka, who followed Yuichi's gaze and finally noticed the small nail polish butterfly mark on his little thumb on his foot, finally showed an expression of resignation, gritted his teeth and cursed the woman who ruined him. He stretched out his hands to Yuichi, who took out the handcuffs.

"Do you know why?" Just as the police were about to take Kaneto Hanaoka away, Conan, who had been playing soy sauce today, suddenly asked.

"Why? Hahaha! Little brother, do you know the relationship between flowers and butterflies? When she first joined our Hanaoka Design Studio, she was honest and cute, like a butterfly flying around the flowers, which attracted everyone in our studio, but unfortunately with my help, she seemed to have opened her greedy appetite, crawling on the most colorful flowers in the garden of my studio, desperately sucking the honey, until I was unable to grow and gradually withered! That's when I realized that the butterfly was out of my control, so I broke its wings! She sent her who ruined everything for me to where she was supposed to go! ”

"Flowers and butterflies?" Looking at Kaneto Hanaoka, who left laughing maniacally, and holding the upcoming book of paintings that Yuichi brought him, Conan understood everything in an instant.

"Another sad story! Wrap up! After listening to Kaneto Hanaoka's sad self-report, Yuichi didn't know whether to sympathize with him, the poor cat who was stolen and hurt by a fish, and left Izumi Butterfly's room after two stains.
