Chapter 45: This is Love

Yuichi won't be untargeted, why did he just ask Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Sayama? Did he already have any evidence? Damn, I didn't see him at the scene just now, so did he solve this murder case so easily? Is he already so strong now?

Just when Conan was pondering alone, Yuichi, who had waited for a long time and didn't see Conan speak, pinched his love iron fist, aimed at the bag that Maori Kogoro had just left on Conan's head, and gave him another intimate one.

"Ahh Pain! ”

"Then why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and tell me! Information about the two of them! ”

"Got it! You bastard! When I change back, I must make you look good! Rubbing the big bag on his head that had turned into a gourd baby's headdress, Conan whispered a few thoughts while sorting out his thoughts and explaining to Yuichi.

"Satoshi Maeda doesn't know, but did Akiko Sayama's brother commit suicide by jumping off a building because Tokio Ehara stole the computer software they developed? In this way, Satoshi Maeda's suspicion can basically be ruled out, so the murderer can only be Akiko Sayama! ”

"Hey! Why are you so arbitrary! Hideko Uejo is his ex-wife, and the two have just divorced. Shiro Konno's position at the bank was frozen because the bank suspected him of operating the internal computer without authorization, and he needed a virus to get revenge on the bank. Mr. Kaneshiro is said to have killed his son by the virus as well, so he has a reason to hold a grudge against the Night Baron. With so many suspects, and their alibi is not sufficient, how can you believe that the murderer is one of Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Sayama! ”

"Because of the wind!" After casually throwing a clue in his mind to Conan and pretending to be forced, Yuichi, who had an answer in his heart, walked towards the lookout, and he wanted to give Xiaolan an explanation.

"Brother Youyi! That's great! I've found evidence that Maeda-senpai is not the murderer, you see! It's these two girls! According to them, at 10:30, Maeda-senpai, who was accidentally bumped into by them, was still here to sign autographs! You see, this is the autograph book, there is a specific date and time on it, and the most important thing is that the two girls also looked at their watches at the time, and they can be sure that the time is 10:33! ”

Looking at Xiaolan, who was dancing with a signature book in her hand and crying with joy, Yuichi silently gave her a round of applause to stop her from taking the two girls to Officer Henggou.

"Why? Brother Youyi? Xiaolan, who couldn't understand Yuyi's behavior, couldn't help but ask in confusion, and Yuichi hesitated for a long time after taking Xiaolan to a secluded place on the side, but decided to tell the truth to the pure girl in front of him.

"Xiaolan! It's true that Satoshi Maeda wasn't the murderer of Tokio Ehara, but it was really him who knocked the police who guarded the corpse unconscious and stole the Night Baron suit and your hands! ”

"It can't be! Why would he do that? Xiao Lan, who couldn't understand Yuichi's logic, shook her head and asked in disbelief.

"Because the real murderer of Ehara Tokio is Akiko Sayama, do you understand?"

"Was it for Miss Akiko Sayama?" Xiaolan, who heard Yuichi's unexpected answer, didn't think about whether the murderer was Akiko Sayama, but breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right! The murderer of Tokio in Ehara was Akiko Sayama, from and Ke...... Ahem, during Uncle Maori's conversation, I guessed that it might be the wearing of the night suit on Tokio Ehara, or it may be that Satoshi Maeda, who lived in the same room as Akiko Sayama, found something, and in order to make an alibi for Akiko Sayama, who was said to be watching TV alone in the room at the time, he stole the suit and deliberately turned around in front of you, and then threw away the props of the night baron suit. ”

"I see? No wonder from the moment I saw the two of them, I felt that they were not in the right state! Originally, they all loved each other, but they rejected each other in daily communication, and Miss Akiko Sayama didn't want to burden Maeda's seniors, so she wanted to make him disgusted with her bad attitude. And Maeda's seniors also knew Miss Akiko Sayama's plan so much to cooperate with her, and deliberately pulled us back to the room to the observatory, look at the stars, and grind time! It's to create an opportunity for Miss Akiko Sayama to commit crimes, so he keeps looking at his watch from time to time! So he's pinching this? No wonder Dad asked about the alibi, he chose to be silent, and didn't say anything about the two girls' signatures, he wanted to apologize to Miss Akiko from the beginning? ”

Looking at Xiaolan's suddenly realized expression, You, who didn't want to ask about the details of this case, nodded, and after agreeing with the girl's speculation, he stood in place and watched the girl without speaking. Satoshi Maeda volunteered to help Akiko Sayama take the blame, so if Xiaolan went to provide him with an alibi, he who had already decided to sacrifice attention for love would not necessarily be grateful to Xiaolan. But as the reason for learning karate and her idol, Xiaolan doesn't want to see Maeda being accused of a murderer like this, whether to hide the truth according to her idol's will or follow her own will to avenge her idol. For the first time, Xiaolan actually felt that it was so difficult for her to make a choice.

Not to mention Xiaolan, who is entangled here at the observatory, Conan, who is standing at the door of room 2012, sat in place and pondered after Yuichi left, although Conan didn't want to accept the clue given by Yuichi, but how could he exclude the information that he had heard in his head? Conan, who always couldn't help but think of the word wind, scratched his hair a little manically.

"What a bastard! That's right! When I was scouting with my uncle at the house of Tokio in Gangwon, the pen in my hand accidentally fell from the balcony because of Uncle Maori's mess, if I compared him to Tokio Ehara, then he should have fallen near the bronze statue, but why didn't I find it near the bronze statue just now? ”

Conan, who had a flash of inspiration in his mind, hurriedly pressed the elevator and ran towards the open-air restaurant on the third floor. Sure enough, he didn't find his fountain pen around the bronze statue, but after expanding the search range, after a careful search, with the help of the hotel lights, Conan finally found his broken fountain pen a few meters to the right of the bronze statue, and didn't care about the birthday gift that his father mailed back from the United States a few days ago. Conan stared at the building where the pen was straight up, and sure enough, wasn't it the house of Tokio Ehara? If you look at it this way......

Conan, who remembered something, suppressed his already excited and immediately wanted to shout the slogan that there is only one truth, and trotted a few steps to a waiter who was cleaning the scene and asked in a low voice: "Sister, is it windy here at night?" ”

"Great! Can't you feel it, little brother? The higher you go, the stronger the wind, this is the sea breeze that belongs to us alone, we all call it Himefeng! ”

"Ji Feng? I think I know why she was the murderer! Conan's glasses, which had received the answer he wanted, flashed with confidence.
