Yamakomi izakaya

Along the way, relying on the name of Mrs. Kudo, Judy successfully brushed her face in front of the traffic section traffic police who blocked the road and set up a card, and after a beautiful flick of the tail, she drifted beautifully, and finally arrived at the place where the tragedy of Ichiro Higashida began according to the route indicated by Conan.

Before Takagi, the main owner of the crime-solving team who was shaken twice by the drag racing girl today, recovered from his nausea, Judy, who was very interested in this kind of detective play that came once in a while, took Conan and the others into the tavern.

Seeing Judy barging in with a group of children, the izakaya proprietress was obviously a little stunned, but after many years of experience in this service industry and having dealt with many drunken customers, she immediately returned to normal, put down the rag in her hand with a smile on her face, and walked out from behind the bar.

"Welcome! Is there anything this lady needs help with coming to the shop? Declare in advance that some of these cute children may not be suitable for drinking! ”

Judy, who understood the boss's concern, immediately smiled back at the boss, and then explained politely.

"Of course, I also know that these little ghosts are not the age to come here, but they have to publish a school magazine to interview the proprietress of the proprietor, so I have to follow them for fear that they will mess around! They all said that they liked the proprietress of this shop the most! ”

"Hahaha! Is it? What a bunch of cute little guys! So kids, what do you want to ask? ”

"Auntie! We saw reports in the newspaper that a man named Ichiro Higashida killed his boss after getting drunk, and it is said that he was drinking here at the time! Can you recall the situation at that time? Say whatever you want! Don't worry too much! ”

"Huh?"

The proprietress who was originally smiling suddenly stiffened in place, and Judy's scalp was a little numb when she looked at her.

“hat f，uck！ Are you sure you're not here to do something? Can I take back what I just said now? These kids are really uncute! ”

Although it felt that it was not easy for the proprietress to solve the case, Judy still explained it for Conan and them, and ordered several side dishes here.

After seeing that there was no way to get rid of them, the proprietress finally gave up resistance and began to tell.

"I remember that day...... That's right! He went back when he was drunk, and as he walked, he said: I must talk about that woman today! But I didn't expect Mr. Higashida to do that kind of thing in the end! ”

"The hostess! Are you sure that Ichiro Higashida was talking about the woman at that time? ”

"Hmmm! Yes! That's right! ”

"Did he leave alone when he left?"

"Not really! He walked with a good friend who was drinking together! ”

"Oh? Is it? Do you know that companion of his? ”

"Of course I do! After all, they often come here to drink after work! Here! That's the guy over there! ”

"Huh? This person? If I'm not mistaken, he's the first Mr. Kitagawa to find a body on file! ”

Just when Conan and the others were holding a small book and asking the proprietress about it, Takagi who had recovered also walked in, and when he heard the proprietress reply, he subconsciously looked in the direction pointed by the proprietress, but he didn't expect a familiar figure to appear in his sight.

"The first person to find Miss Muranishi's body?"

Conan, who heard Takagi speak, immediately frowned, and Judy, who was holding a side dish leisurely, felt a little strange, this person who left with Higashida Ichiro was actually the first person to find the body, which was a bit too coincidental.

Seeing that Judy was interested in this Kitagawa, Takagi immediately took out the file in his arms and explained.

"He and Ichiro Higashida and Mami Muranishi who was killed all served the same company, on the day of the crime, because Ichiro Higashida and Mami Muranishi did not go to the company, he went to the apartment to ask the administrator to open the door when he couldn't get through, and as a result, he and the administrator found Mami Muranishi's body and Higashida Ichiro who was lying on the bed and sleeping!"

"Oh? I see! Since he is an eyewitness, let's go and ask him! ”

After listening to Takagi's explanation, although Conan couldn't see the problem of Kitagawa for the time being, he still felt a little strange, and he thought about it for a long time and was ready to go over with Takagi to find out the bottom of this person, but what he didn't expect was.

"Police? It's the police again! Didn't I say it all? I've said everything I need to say! Do you know how much my boss was killed by a friend, and how much stimulation it caused me? I don't want to be disturbed by you for a short time, okay? ”

"Oh! This one...... Of course! ”

Looking at Kitagawa, who put down a stack of yen and turned to leave, Takagi who touched a soft nail became a little embarrassed.

Compared with the cold reception on their side, the boss lady was very happy with Ayumi and them, and even some of the issues they talked about could be said to be seriously off-topic.

"Although all three of them are regular visitors here, Ms. Muranishi is a fan of Tokyo SPIRITS, and Mr. Higashida hates Tokyo SPIRITS very much, so the personalities of the two are very different! Miss Muranishi likes beige, but Mr. Higashida likes gray. Miss Muranishi loves cacti. Mr. Higashida doesn't like to take a bath, and every time he comes, he is ......"

Hearing them chatting and chatting, they were about to start a gossip forum, and Takagi, who remembered that he and Sato had promised to find out the truth before ten o'clock tomorrow morning, was tired for a while, so he took this group of teammates, can he really complete Sato's commission?

Takagi, who found that there was no clue in the izakaya here, signaled to Conan beside him and then turned around and walked towards the outside of the izakaya, he didn't have so much American time to waste here, since Conante's izakaya had no clues here, then Takagi decided to follow the ideas provided by Yuichi and go to Higashida Ichiro's house to have a look.

But things have developed so far, can Takagi, who has not spoken strongly, still be able to control this detective team?

Judy, who received Conan's signal, smiled and interrupted Ayumi and the others to continue gossiping, then politely said goodbye to the proprietress who was already forced to laugh, left the izakaya, and drove towards the next stop they were going.

And when Takagi and they started to investigate, Yuichi, who had hung up Renzaburo Shiratori on the way and didn't know how many phone calls, also came to the Kabido area, next to the abandoned building not far from where Sato and the others parked.

Seeing him appear, the Twilight Police Department immediately walked over with his big belly, blowing his beard and glaring.

"Yuichi Kudo! You can! I actually dared to hang up the phone! Don't tell me anything about bad signal, it's not safe to call while driving! I don't want to hear it! I just want to hear your opinion about Sato's disappearance now! After all, she's also your subordinate, isn't she? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The Twilight Police Department is right! I'm not looking for any reason this time! About the case of Miwako Sato's disappearance...... Hey? Twilight Police Department! What is this abandoned building doing? Why is it still forbidden to enter? ”

How could Yuichi, who originally came to be a drag, really give advice, he had just made a start, and immediately interrupted and asked after discovering the situation in the abandoned building behind him, but this inquiry didn't matter, and it almost scared him into disability.

"Oh! That's what you say? These people are loading directional blasting explosives! There seems to be some kind of blasting ceremony at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and after that, the building will be blown up directly, and then a brand new Kigado Art Museum will be rebuilt! ”

"Nani? Blow! ”

"Sato is still in there! It looks like it's playing big again! ”

Yuichi, who has bitterness in his heart and can't say it, can only stare at this abandoned building in a daze with a bitter face, I hope Takagi can do it before ten o'clock tomorrow! Otherwise, I would have to betray you for Sato's safety!
