The book continues above.

Conan, who changed back into his clothes, sent the unhappy Yuantai and them to the door.

Yuan Tai asked at the door, "Conan, why don't you go back with us?" ”

But under the pull of Gray Yuan Ai and Mitsuhiko, they still reluctantly went home...

(At this point, the three fools thought to themselves, "Why did Conan drive us away.") Maybe we can help them too. ”）

For Conan, because he had to help Officer Takagi make portraits of prisoners, so...

(Sometimes, as long as the victim can depict the general appearance of the prisoner, after the big data comparison of the public security network.) You can easily find the prisoner. ）

Conan was bored at the door waiting for the portrait policeman to come when he noticed an interesting scene.

Because in the white Iveco car, Officer Takagi looked at the surveillance video and was distressed. Because he felt that there was an evil door, why did the suspect vehicle still have the logo of Bee Express when he came in. How is it that when you come out, there is nothing?

(That's because he ignores the time it takes for the truck to travel inside the tunnel.) If they had calculated the time it would take for the truck to travel inside the tunnel, they would have found something suspicious. ）

Officer Takagi used his laptop to watch the footage near the tunnel repeatedly, but he still didn't notice anything wrong. He cried out in anguish: "Annoying! Why is this happening. Is it going to disappear or not? ”

"Officer Takagi, the situation you said is unlikely."

Officer Takagi turned his head and spotted Conan, who was carefully watching the surveillance.

"Conan, why did you get up. Didn't I tell you to wait outside? The air inside is very bad. So..."

"Officer Takagi, look at the strange wagon at the exit of the tunnel."

As he spoke, Officer Takagi paused the truck out of the tunnel with the disguise off it.

Officer Takagi looked at the truck without wallpaper and asked speechlessly, "Conan, is there anything unusual about this truck?" ”

Conan prompts you to take another look at the footage of him entering the van and pause him. Screenshot comparison will know.

(Because when Officer Takagi was repeatedly studying the trajectory of the disguised delivery vehicle, Conan also inadvertently took a serious look at it.) ）

Although Officer Takagi was puzzled, he heeded Conan's prompts and took a screenshot of the bee delivery truck as it entered the tunnel. Then drag the video to the truck that has been uncamouflaged for comparison. Something suspicious was found.

Officer Takagi said excitedly, "You mean, the truck that came out of the tunnel mouth seems to be unremarkable, just a commonly used truck. But if you combine it with the bee delivery car a few minutes ago, then you can draw a conclusion. That's two cars, in fact, one! ”

Conan agrees with Officer Takagi's idea. He said, "Officer Takagi, if you look at their license plate number, you will see that the license plate number of this car with the rear license plate of the Bee Express is the same as the license plate number of the two trucks that were undisguised. ”

Conan wanted to test Officer Takagi and asked, "So why did the prisoner do this?" He went to such great lengths, if we look a little more carefully, it will be in vain. ”

Officer Takagi thought that Conan looked down on him, so he reluctantly explained: "First of all, none of us thought that they would dare to use the pattern of the bee delivery car as a cover to commit a crime. And judging by his subsequent performances, it was clear that even if nothing came of it, then we would definitely be in a dead end. That is to hold on to the bee delivery car. In this way, the real prisoner can escape after painting off the decoration of the bee express. And..."

Conan then asked, "How long have they been in the tunnel?" ”

Officer Takagi said ten minutes.

Conan nodded and said, "In ten minutes, you can't do it with paint!" There is only one possibility, and that is the wallpaper they prepared with a picture of Bee Express! ”

Takagi patted his forehead excitedly. Shouting: "yes, it's wallpaper!" How I didn't think of it. Only the wallpaper can be easily removed from the camouflage in less than 10 minutes. ”

As Conan and Officer Takagi talk about what to do next, Officer Twilight walks over solemnly.

"Takagi, near the Timatsu River, found the body of a strangled man."

Officer Takagi was puzzled and asked, "What's going on?" Why is this happening. How could there be a strange corpse. ”

Officer Twilight shakes her head, saying I don't know. But I only know that the victim was about 40 years old. And he was wearing a red suit. There's a black mole next to the nose...

Conan was stunned! This is not my kidnapper! How could he...

Officer Takagi was shocked and asked, "So, could that body be the one who kidnapped Conan?" ”

Officer Twilight says we'll talk about it when we get there.

Conan also said that I would go too. Maybe I can give you valuable clues.

Although they were very reluctant to let Conan go, at Conan's insistence, they agreed to Conan's request.

(The main scene is not very suitable for children.) So... ）

Finally, after driving for 30 minutes, they arrived at the scene of the crime.

Conan got out of the passenger door of Officer Takagi's black sedan and hurried to the car, which had been undisguised.

When he ran near the car, he exclaimed, "Isn't this the car that kidnapped me?" ”

Officer Takagi, who arrived later, said, "You're right, Conan. ”

Conan nodded, and hurried to the driver's car.

At this point, Officer Twilight looked at the deceased Yoshizawa, whose eyes were bulging and his mouth was wide open, and asked, "Is he?" ”

The forensic officer in a blue shirt held a notebook and said, "The deceased Yoshizawa is 42 years old. Wearing a red suit. The cause of death was a severe strangulation on the neck..."

Then, Conan squeezed in front of him. Looking at Yoshizawa, who was already dead, he was shocked and said, "How could he be dead!" Shouldn't he be the mastermind in this case? ”

Officer Twilight looks at Conan and asks, "You say, he's the one who took you hostage." ”

Conan nodded excitedly, indicating that he had taken me away. He's going to get rid of me when he gets the ransom! And he himself died! This one is very strange, unless they have accomplices. Otherwise...

Officer Twilight touches her chin with her right hand, deciding that Conan has a point. Because if the deceased was the mastermind, then he shouldn't be here. Unless he and his accomplices make some kind of deal. But because the spoils are unevenly distributed, so...

As Officer Twilight ponders, forensic officers find studs with blue gems nearby.

He packs it in a special bag and hands it to Officer Twilight. The assailant appeared to be a woman. It was also the deceased who dragged her earrings off in the process of resisting. So...

Conan thinks that with the size of the deceased, he shouldn't be able to beat even a woman. If it's true, then what Xiao Chun said is true!

(At this time, Conan's mind made up for Ms. Ezaki's eerie smile after getting 30 million.) ）

Surveillance personnel then revealed that the car had actually been stolen by someone else. So...

Officer Twilight asks, "So, what about the time of death?" ”

"Between one and two o'clock at noon. By the way, there was no cash for the car. And there are no suspicious items in the back of the carriage. ”

(The back compartment is empty.) Fools know that there are no suspicious items in it. ）

Officer Twilight begins to think, "Between one and two o'clock in the afternoon, the suspects are Ms. Ezaki and his butler Goro Kitayama." If it's Ms. Ezaki. Then everything makes sense. Because Jun told us that Ms. Ezaki needs this money very much, so..."

Just as Officer Twilight was thinking, he saw Officer Sato running out of breath.

Officer Twilight asked, "Did you find any clues?" ”

Officer Sato said, "We inquired about Mr. Kataoka's interpersonal relationships. I found something very coincidental. That is, their housekeepers, Mr. Kitayama and Ms. Ezaki, that is, Mr. Kataoka's fiancée, both have signs of needing large sums of money. And also...

Conan looked at the exterior of the van and thought to himself, "If my reasoning is correct, then the wallpaper disguised as the Bee Express should be near the tunnel or on the deceased." Why didn't they find anything? Where did that wallpaper go! ”

They then carried Yoshizawa's body to a police car for further examination.

Officer Takagi, who was about to go back, looked at Conan, who was constantly pondering, and said, Let's go.

Conan heard Officer Takagi's shouting and said he understood. Finally, I came to Kataoka's house with them, ready to ask for an explanation.

Soon, they returned to Shigeru Kataoka's home.

Officer Twilight walks over to Ms. Ezaki, who is sitting on the couch, holding the preserved sapphire stud earrings. He asked Ms. Ezaki, "Are these stud earrings yours?" ”

Ms. Ezaki looked up blankly and saw her missing studs. Surprised, he asked, "Where did you find it?" My studs were lost the other day! So..."

Officer Twilight believes that Ms. Ezaki is lying. So he asked, "Where did you go from twelve o'clock in the afternoon to two o'clock in the afternoon?" And do you know the man Yoshizawa? ”

Ms. Ezaki asked blankly, "Can you show him what he looks like?" And at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, I went to deliver money to the other party. After giving the money, I bought a loaf of bread. After eating, I hurried back. I still have an invoice for the bread I purchased. ”

Ms. Ezaki then hands Officer Twilight the receipt for the purchase of red bean bread. The time says 12:45.

Officer Twilight then hands Ms. Ezaki a picture of Masashi Yoshizawa.

Ms. Ezaki looked at Yoshizawa Masashi on the photo seriously and said that I really didn't know him. What's the use of you letting me see this.

Officer Twilight asked, "Because this man named Yoshizawa died near the Timatsu River!" And, find your earrings nearby. So we think you're a major suspect! ”

Ms. Ezaki was stunned. She panicked and said that I really hadn't done it, and looked at Shigeru Kataoka's skeptical gaze.

Looking at Ms. Ezaki with a panicked face, Shigeru Kataoka thought that Ms. Ezaki did not need to do that at all. If she was sitting, he could have cheated me out of 30 million by other means. Why risk a human life?

Officer Twilight thinks that's right, too. But that stud earring really can't be explained!

What happened later...
