The book continues from the above, at Kataoka Shigeru's house.

Officer Twilight asks Ms. Ezaki why the earrings are at the scene of the crime.

When Ms. Ezaki saw the earrings, she knew that she couldn't explain her reasoning, so she protested silently.

Ms. Sato thinks that because the deceased Yoshizawa was strangled behind his back, and Ms. Ezaki, you need a large amount of cash recently. So...

Ms. Ezaki was stunned, and that was the reason. However, the earrings alone can confirm her murderous suspicion. She bowed her head in disappointment.

Officer Takagi also said that according to the deceased's home, it was found that they marked the time of Xiaojun's discharge from the hospital on the calendar. In other words, they had budgeted in advance and committed the crime the day before Xiaochun was discharged from the hospital. So...

Conan, who was standing at the door, looked at Xiao Chun, who had already gone downstairs. Asked, "Are you alright?" ”

Chun looked at Conan and shook his head. said, "You said you found Aunt Ezaki's missing earrings." Is it true? ”

Conan nodded. Answer: "What's wrong." This alone cannot prove that she is the murderer. And your housekeeper and even your father are suspicious! ”

Xiao Chun looked at Conan, who was serious, and asked, "Why?" Why do you say that? I believe that the accomplice is definitely not my father, Uncle Kitayama is so good to me, how could it be..."

Conan suddenly made a "shhhh

Officer Twilight suddenly remembered something and asked, "You say, you have no motive. According to our investigation, it looks like you borrowed $20 million from the bank. And recently I asked your boyfriend, Mr. Kataoka, for 10 million. Isn't there such a thing? ”

Ms. Ezaki nodded, then shook her head again. This makes Officer Twilight wonder what they do.

(When Xiao Chun heard Ms. Ezaki's affirmation, Xiao Chun became more and more convinced that the person who took 30 million was Aunt Ezaki!) ）

Because Ms. Ezaki thought to herself, "If she admits it, then she will not be able to wash herself by jumping into the Yellow River." But even if they don't admit it, then why is it that the prisoner only needs 30 million, not a penny is much, and a penny is not a lot? ”

Looking at a worried Ms. Ezaki, Officer Twilight asked, "Why exactly 30 million?" Are you planning to pay off your debts with 30 million if you fail in costume design? ”

Ms. Ezaki's mouth was wide open, and she wanted to justify something. But after looking at Officer Twilight's malicious eyes, Ms. Ezaki is silent in protest.

Officer Sato also said on the sidelines, "Although you have the right to remain silent, if you do not testify in your favor, we will have to take you to the police station for further questioning."

But Shigeru Kataoka thinks that Ms. Ezaki can't do that!

(If it's Ms. Ezaki, people are brain-dead, isn't it fragrant to just roll up the money and leave?) The main reason is that the evidence is extremely unfavorable to him. ）

However, under Officer Twilight's questioning, Ms. Ezaki is forced to agree to their request and walk to the police station to be questioned by them.

After watching Ms. Ezaki being taken away by the Twilight police, Xiao Chun said with tears in her eyes, "Could it really be her!" ”

Looking at Chun with tears in his eyes, Conan decided to seek justice for Ms. Ezaki.

First, Conan walked in the direction of Ms. Ezaki's convenience store on the side of the road.

In front of the convenience store.

A salesperson in a red apron looked at the cute Conan and asked, "Little brother, are you shopping or?" ”

Conan asked in a milky voice, "Sister, did you know that a fashionably dressed big sister came here to buy bread after 12:40 p.m. and before one o'clock?" ”

The salesman said, I'll show you the video.

After three minutes, the salesperson said, yes, she had been here to buy bread. I still muttered that the design presentation would be canceled, and that my future was ruined. At the time I thought she...

"Thank you, sister."

With that, he left the door of the convenience store. I thought to myself, "That's right. Depending on the driving distance, it takes at least 30 minutes to drive from here to Timutsu. And Mr. Yoshizawa died a little, so it proves that even if Ms. Ezaki had a motive to kill, she didn't have the time to kill. So there is only one possibility! That is..."

Conan suddenly thought of something, so he asked all the nearby printing houses that could print Bee Express wallpapers, and got the last answer he wanted.

He then walked to a public phone booth and dialed Mr. Kitayama's number.

"Doodoo...."

"I'm Kitayama, who are you?"

"I said, are you a noble person who forgets things! I'm Masato Yoshizawa! I haven't forgotten what happened at noon today. As long as you don't want to be exposed by me..."

"What, you're not dead! What the hell do you want! ”

"Dude, I don't want to do anything. It's whether I should give my fair share to me. The location is an abandoned factory where the imps are imprisoned. Well, that's it. ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

(Listening to the beep on the phone, Mr. Kitayama is confused.) He knew that if he didn't give money, it would be doomed. He had no choice but to follow Mr. Yoshizawa's request and drive to the abandoned factory. ）

Conan, who hung up the phone, took out his mobile phone again. I called Officer Sato.

Interrogation room of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Looking at the interrogation chair, Ms. Ezaki, who was speechless. Officer Sato, who was sitting opposite, angrily hammered his desk.

"Ding Ding Ding..."

"I'm Sato. Please tell me something. ”

"Officer Sato, I've found out who the prisoner is!"

"Oh!"

Then, Officer Sato looked excited.

When she listened to Conan's speech, Officer Sato pulled Officer Takagi with a blank face and walked towards the parking lot.

(At the same time, he said to Ms. Ezaki, you are working hard.) As long as we find the murderer, you are innocent! ）

Officer Takagi looked at his right hand being pulled by Officer Sato, and asked puzzledly, "Who called you and made you so excited?" ”

Officer Sato replied with a fluttering eyebrow: "Don't worry about it, just follow me to the scene." ”

Although Officer Takagi looked at the excited Officer Sato and was puzzled, he still consciously opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. At the behest of Officer Sato, they drove to the abandoned factory where Conan was imprisoned ...

Soon, they saw Conan hiding behind the pile of cement pipes in the abandoned factory.

Although they were very confused, they got out of the car and walked to his side.

Officer Sato asked, "Conan?" It's..."

Conan was about to explain when he suddenly heard the sound of a car. He said to Officer Takagi that they were quiet.

Officer Sato quickly shut his mouth consciously.

Soon, Mr. Kitayama, who was driving a black car, came to the yard of the abandoned factory.

Mr. Kitayama, dressed in a black suit, took out a bag containing cash from the trunk. shouted around: "Old Yoshizawa, I've already taken out the money, when will you come out." ”

(At the same time, he prepared a dagger behind him, so that the moment he was given the money, he was killed with one blow.) ）

Conan looked at the surprised Officer Sato and nodded. said that he was Yoshizawa's "accomplice." ”

Mr. Kitayama, who had been waiting for 5 minutes, saw that Yoshizawa had not come out yet. Then he shouted angrily: "If you don't come out again, I won't give you money!" ”

It's a pity that Yoshizawa still didn't come out. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Officer Sato in a purple OL uniform and Officer Takagi in a gray suit.

Officer Takagi shows his police officer. After testifying, he asked, "Mr. Kitayama, why are you here?" And how do you carry so much cash in your hands. ”

Mr. Kitayama immediately showed a panicked expression.

At this time, Conan, who was hiding behind him, walked out of the shadows with a wicked smile. He said, "Did you hear Mr. Yoshizawa asking you for money through your mobile phone?" ”

Mr. Kitayama wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his right hand and insisted, I don't know Mr. Yoshizawa. And why can't I have so much money.

Conan asked rhetorically, "Why do normal people carry full bills?" And I guess the cash in it is exactly 30 million. Point to point, this place is known only to accomplices. ”

Mr. Kitayama asked in surprise, "Little ghost?" How do you know that there are exactly 30 million in the bag! ”

Conan sneered and said, "That's because I imitated his accent..."

Mr. Kitayama asked stiffly: "This evidence alone is not enough!" ”

Conan then asked, "According to my investigation, you've worked in printing before. I believe that it should not be difficult to imitate making a wallpaper of a sealed courier, so..."

After Mr. Kitayama saw that he was exposed, the dog jumped over the wall and said, "You guys! Actually ruined my plans! I want you dead! ”

As he spoke, he directly showed the dagger in his hand and slashed it towards Officer Sato, who was about to approach him!

But how could this pediatric-like thing hurt her, and dodged his horizontal slash with a sideways turn.

But the knife was actually a feint. After seeing that his operation failed, he directly picked up the bag containing the money and ran outside.

Officer Takagi tried to block it, but he hit him in the abdomen with his brain.

He sat down on the ground in pain. Use your right hand to stroke the injured part of yourself. At the same time there was a moan of pain.

"Takagi, it's okay for you."

Officer Takagi, who was sitting on the ground, replied with a pale face, "I'm fine, I just can't..."

Mr. Kitayama, who had already run to the door, saw the taxi parked at the door. Turning his head with a wicked smile, he replied, "Goodbye!" ”

Conan looked at Mr. Kitayama, who was about to get into the taxi, and stamped his feet in pain. Because he had to pick up Officer Takagi who was hit.

At this time, when I opened the back door and was about to enter the taxi, I saw Sun Liang in blue casual clothes with a wicked smile.

"You!"

"Go down to my brother!"

Kicked Mr. Kitayama to the ground with a straight kick.

Just as Mr. Kitayama was covering his head in pain, Sato and Takagi, who had recovered their strength, immediately arrested Mr. Kitayama.

At the same time, they also showed a friendly smile to Li Xiaohui, who was sitting in the driver's seat.

(The latter nods in a friendly response.) ）

The matter was so satisfactorily resolved.

Ms. Ezaki's costume show was also held smoothly.

Looking at those models wearing more revealing clothes, Mitsuhiko asked puzzledly, "Ayumi, is this fashion?" ”

(For Mitsuhiko, did this show look really good in either a purple bandeau or a crop top with a red miniskirt?) When I was a kid, I didn't think it was pretty. ）

Ayumi, who was sitting near the performance stage, said excitedly: "When I grow up, I will also wear this kind of clothes to show my husband." ”

(Meanwhile, she looks at Conan with a shy expression.) The latter did not react in any way. ）

Yuantai thinks he wants to eat something.

Of course, everyone told Yuantai that you think too much.

Just as they were arguing, they saw Ms. Ezaki excitedly looking at Jun Xiao, who suddenly came on stage.

looked at Xiao Chun, who was wearing a blue suit and holding flowers, and hugged him warmly.

I saw Xiao Chun, who was bowing his head, and said to her helplessly: "Mom." Then he handed her the flowers. Ms. Ezaki was left with tears of emotion.

The audience also applauded and congratulated Ms. Ezaki on her success. On the one hand, he congratulated Ms. Ezaki on the success of her fashion show, and on the other hand, Chun completely accepted Ms. Ezaki as his mother.

Shigeru Kataoka, who was standing on the other side of the stage, watched as Kosumi put his arms around Ms. Ezaki with his immature arms. With a satisfied smile...
