Chapter 196: The Exact Same Room

"What is the purpose of moving this furniture?"

Although Takagi does not have the general reasoning thinking of cheating like Conan, Yuichi and others, as an old criminal policeman who has been a police officer for many years, he still has some of the most basic criminal ideas.

Following the ideas provided by Conan and the guidance of Yuichi when he left, all kinds of doubts in Miss Muranishi's room lingered in his mind.

"When the body was found, the suspect Higashida Ichiro was lying on Miss Muranishi's bed as if he were in his own home, with the door lock and door chain attached, and Mr. Higashida's fingerprints were also left on the door lock, door chain and video cable wrapped around the deceased's neck. Wait a minute...... Fingerprint! Don't? ”

Takagi, who finally reacted, hurriedly took out the key to Ichiro Higashida's room from his trouser pocket, and then ran towards the apartment where Ichiro Higashida lived, which was downstairs from Miss Muranishi's house.

As his breathing became more and more rapid, Takagi opened the door of Higashida Ichiro's apartment with trembling hands, and in the small room, the familiar layout met Takagi's eyes.

"Grey quilts, grey sheets, grey pillows and curtains, and the furniture in this apartment. If you don't pay attention to it, you can't tell the difference between this apartment and Miss Muranishi's apartment upstairs, and if someone deliberately puts the drunk Ichiro Higashida into Miss Muranishi's apartment, then Ichiro Higashida will definitely not react, just think it's his own home. If this is extrapolated, Mr. Kitakawa, who sent Ichiro Higashida back that day, is very suspicious! Perhaps the real murderer is this so-called first eyewitness! ”

"Miss Judy! We hurried to Ichiro Higashida and their company to inquire, I want to know the specific situation of Mr. Kitagawa on the day of the crime! ”

The corners of Conan's mouth, who heard Takagi say this, couldn't help but rise slightly, and under his reminder, Takagi finally understood who the real suspect was.

However, just when Takagi was high-spirited and ready to make persistent efforts to complete Sato-senpai's instructions, Judy, who was searching for Higashida Ichiro's house on the other side, opened his mouth and poured cold water on him.

"Officer Takagi! I'd love to help you solve this case, but please see the time! Do you think you can see people at Ichiro Higashida now at their company? It's all off work! If you want to ask for a certificate, you'll have to wait until tomorrow! So I think what we can do now is to verify whether that Ichiro Higashida is actually lying, after all, there is nothing wrong with being careful, isn't it? Officer Takagi! ”

Following Conan's instructions, Judy finally found the plane ticket to the United States and the email his daughter sent to him under the TV cabinet at Higashida Ichiro's house.

At the same time, Takagi, who heard Judy's words, also knew that he was in a hurry, and after a little relief, he looked at Conan and the others helplessly and laughed.

"Miss Judy is right, this case can only be investigated tomorrow! So ladies and gentlemen! Shouldn't I send you all home? ”

"Humph! Don't want it! We just called the family at Dr. Asasa's! We're all going to stay at Dr. Asasa's house today! Uncle Takagi has to go to Dr. Asasa's house tonight, too! Tomorrow we'll go together to find that Kitagawa-sirn trouble! ”

Mitsuhiko, who heard Takagi's words, immediately disagreed, how could he, a future detective who claimed to be a genius boy, back down when encountering such an exciting incident.

At the same time, Yuan Tai, who had been unable to understand the situation on the other side, finally reacted to this matter.

"Aren't you going to arrest the prisoner by yourself tomorrow just to show off?"

"What? You adults are so deceitful! I actually want to take credit for myself! ”

Ayumi, who heard Yuanta's shouting, also reacted immediately, and flattened her mouth at Takagi with a dissatisfied face.

Seeing that the situation had developed like this, Takagi suddenly couldn't argue, although he tried his best to clarify that he didn't mean this, but in the face of Mitsuhiko and others who insisted on it, no amount of explanation could prove his innocence.

Seeing that Takagi's forehead was sweating, Judy, who was watching the play on the sidelines, finally couldn't help but stand up for him.

"Officer Takagi! I think it's better for you to go to Dr. Asasa's house tonight, after all, you and Sato haven't shown up for a day today, and I think there must be a large number of police officers squatting in front of your house, so in order not to be found before you solve the case. I think it's better for you not to go home, and going to Dr. Asasa's house will make it easier for us to act together tomorrow, after all, time is running out now! Isn't it? ”

Hearing Judy's words, Takagi immediately hesitated, and after pondering for a long time, he finally chose to compromise. When he faces Beichuan tomorrow, he will be more careful, and he will be sure to ensure that this group of children will be fine.

Takagi, who had already made up his mind, stopped insisting and returned the keys to both apartments to the landlord, and the group returned to Dr. Asasa in Judy's car.

Just when Takagi and his party were excited about today's discovery, Yuichi, who had been running away with the Twilight Police Department and Shiratori Renzaburo for a day, was finally freed after the Twilight Police Department returned home unwillingly. After driving around the city, Yuichi secretly parked his car in a parking lot near the cup, and quickly ran towards the abandoned building of the Kabito Art Museum, which he had fooled in the afternoon.

But he knew that Sato was now with that unlucky Ichiro Higashida, so why should Sato, who had been here for a day, be hungry, right? Takagi, that idiot, had no way to do anything about the handcuffs, and he had a way to do things like handcuffs, after all, he had just used the room of a passenger liner in front of Hattori Heiji the other day to perform the gorgeous lockpicking skills he had learned from prison talents.

Originally, he was going to let Takagi finally have a heroic scene to save the beauty, but after the madman of Teiji Moriya got the matter, Yuichi didn't dare to do it, if it wasn't for the strong aura of the protagonist Conan, Xiaolan's god-daughter luck, maybe these two would have really been blown into ashes. So in order not to have any accidents in the middle, this abandoned building that had been planted with explosives suddenly exploded, blowing Sato into a pile of minced meat. Yuichi Shirya still decided to let Sato out first.

The door of the building, which had been locked by the construction crew, was easily unlocked, and Yuichi, who had already learned Sato's location from Takagi, came to the bathroom door on the fourth floor humming a song.

"Sato! Don't hide! I see you! What do you think? Locked here for a day hungry, right? I've got something to eat! ”

"Officer Kudo? What are you doing here? ”

"Of course Takagi told me! Do you think I'm going to look for him, can he hide? Rest assured! I didn't tell them about the Twilight Police Department, but now Takagi and they're trying to rehabilitate the Mr. Ichiro Higashida next to you! However, this is not the place to talk, how about I take you out for a bite to eat? ”

"I want to go out too! But I was ......"

"Know! But I can open these handcuffs without a key! ”

"Really? Kudo Police Department! ”

"Of course! It's a trifle! If you don't believe me, I'll show you now! ”

"What else are you performing? Open these handcuffs! After a day here, I couldn't go to the toilet even if I was guarding the toilet! I'm about to suffocate my mother! Come over and start the handcuffs! ”

"Huh?"

Looking at Sato, whose face was flushed with excitement, Yuichi suddenly couldn't help but mourn in his heart for the police officers who had been running for a day in the Metropolitan Police Department.

"This is the flower of the police department that does not eat fireworks in the world in your minds, and whoever marries in the future, you colleagues, are ready to wait for domestic violence! For this kind of heroine, this police department has a deep understanding of it! Brother Takagi! Good luck! ”
