The owner of the wallet with the sticker on the head is a young lady who taught elementary school students how to rattle a bell before, Yoriko Duano.

The owner of the wallet with the driver's license was the middle-aged man they had just met, Kirihei Bensaki.

The owner of the red purse was the old man with a cane who told them that he would take the lot home with him.

The Twilight Police Department did not directly inform them of the case, but first asked them to see if they had three blacked-out five-yen coins on their bodies, but all three of them were found on their bodies.

In this way, there is no way to find the prisoner directly, so the Twilight Police Department gets straight to the point after informing them of the case: "We assume that the murderer is among you." ”

"Among us?"

"How, how is that possible?"

"We're all victims, aren't we?"

"Anyway, allow us to do a body search and check your belongings and cell phones. Of course this is voluntary, and it is also possible to refuse..."

"But there will be all kinds of troubles after refusing, so if you can..."

The Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi spoke one by one.

"Got it!" Ms. Duan Ye was a little impatient, "You can check as much as you want!" But I'm oily and my phone is slimy, so you have to be patient. ”

"......" Judy was slightly distracted.

"Huh? Judy-sensei, did you find anything? Conan asked.

"No, just remembering the man in the video you sent me. Didn't he deliberately drop his phone for those people to pick up just to find out the members of the organization lurking in the hospital? Judy replied that it was Conan himself who did it, "The man I first picked up seemed to have oily skin." As a result, the second one to pick up was the spy, and the last old man with a pacemaker... And then Shuichi took that phone..."

Kaedehara glanced at Judy a little speechlessly.

You're too good to say...

That's why Shuichi Akai faked his death to hide it from you...

"I mean, that has nothing to do with this case, right?" Conan also hastened to remind Judy.

"yes, I'm sorry. After knowing that the man who was burned should not be Shuichi, I was a little shaken..."

“……”

"And then?" Judy turned to the doctor and asked, "Are there any of those three people that you saw the murderer?" ”

"Hmm... Although the old man on crutches was suspicious, the murderer was holding a slender stick of about 30 centimeters, and there was no crutches. The Doctor recalled, "The hat the murderer was wearing was neither the old man's cap nor the young lady's knitted hat, it looked like a hiking hat." Nor did he cough as badly as the middle-aged man. ”

"But maybe he's just pretending to have a cold." Ai looked at Mr. Benzaki, who had been coughing while being examined.

"That's impossible." Conan disagreed, "That uncle doesn't know that we know the doctor, so there's no need to pretend to have a cold in front of us." ”

"How does that walk?" Judy then asked.

"Hmm... The old man seemed to be a little sluggish on his legs, but he wouldn't be able to stand without crutches," the doctor noticed that the old man had to sit on the ground when the crutches were examined, "The young lady and the middle-aged man don't look like they have inconvenient legs." ”

"Inconvenient legs?" Kaedehara asked.

"By the way, you weren't there when the Doctor said this," Conan explained, "and the prisoner walked on one leg when he left..."

"That's right..."Kaede Yuan nodded, and glanced at the legs and feet of the three of them, "Then again, did that person's trouser legs pull too low?" ”

"Huh?"

"If it seems that if you have difficulty moving, it may not be because of your legs and feet, right?" Kaedehara turned to look at the doctor, "Maybe it's because the shoes don't fit properly..."

"This... I didn't see it clearly..."

"They don't seem to have checked their shoes," Kaedehara said, walking toward Officer Takagi, "Remind them to take a look, right?" ”

"Shoes..."Conan pondered, as if he had thought of something, and turned his head to look at Ayumi and the others, "Hey, when you met that sister, did she have any suspicious behavior?" ”

……

A moment later.

"Still want to check?"

"Just check your shoes again," Officer Takagi explained, "right away..."

"You've already checked it before, right?" Ms. Duan Ye argued, "We've already cooperated very well—"

"I'm really sorry, I just missed a check..."

"I don't have time to stay here with you..."

"It's just a glance anyway, right?" Mr. Sakamaki, who was on crutches, said, "I'm fine..."

Mr. Benzaki coughed twice, but he didn't mean to refuse.

Just a glance at the shoes, which were nothing compared to the previous search for belongings, Ms. Duan Ye showed a completely different attitude and looked a little resistant.

This made the Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi immediately suspicious.

In this case, Ms. Duan Ye did not continue to insist, but silently allowed Officer Takagi to lift up her trouser leg that covered her shoes.

The laces were exposed.

"Blood, blood!" Officer Takagi was a little surprised.

The white laces were stained with mottled blood that looked like they had been wiped, but were still noticeable.

"Miss Duan Ye, what's going on?" The Twilight Police Department asked with a serious face.

"What? Do you think shoelaces can be used to kill people? ”

"This—" The Dusk Police Department was a little entangled.

According to Dr. Asasa, the deceased was beaten to death with a stick, as evidenced by the wounds on the deceased's head.

And just two minutes ago, the police officers searching in the vicinity had also reported that they had not found the murder weapon.

But these bloodstains...

"Shoelaces certainly can't be used to kill people."

The doctor's voice suddenly came from the side, and the doctor subconsciously glanced at Conan behind him and quickly turned his head and lip-synched, "After all, this is only part of the murder weapon." ”

"One, partial?"

"Well, yes. The murderer used a shoe belt to tie up the murder weapon. ”

"Tie, tie up?"

"Wasn't the murder weapon Dr. Asa saw a stick?" Judy asked the question that both the Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi wanted to ask, "What do you want to tie up?" ”

"It's not about tying one thing, it's about tying a lot of something together. Afterwards, he hid it in a place where it would not be suspected even if it was discovered, and cleverly covered up the past by talking to the children..."

"Huh? We? "The elementary school students were a little surprised.

"We met Big Sister," Ayumi recalled, pointing to her chin, "at the place where the bell rattled..."

"But there are only two bells, huh?"

"What did you do before the rattle?" Kaedehara reminded.

"Ahh It's incense money! ”

"I threw a five-yen coin in!"

"Throw it in the merit box!"

"Yes, I hope to make a good relationship. That's why almost all of the merit boxes are five-yen coins with a hole in the middle. ”

"I see," said Gray Yuan, "if you tie the coin into a bundle with a shoelace, it will become a slender stick." After that, just throw it into the merit box and mix it with other five-yen coins without arousing suspicion, so that it can hide the eyes of the police who are looking for the slender metal rod. ”

"However, to form a stick thirty centimeters long, it would take at least two hundred coins." Officer Takagi said.

"Also, if you put so many coins in the merit box at once, you will definitely attract the attention of the people around you."

"That's why she's talking to the children," Conan continued, in the doctor's voice, "and if you don't ring the bell loudly, the gods won't be able to hear them." ”

"yes!"

"That's what that sister said!"

"Miss Yoriko Duano, you use the loud sound of the rattle to mask the sound of putting in a large number of coins at once. Untie the rope that holds the coins at one end and hang down the other end into the merit box, and a large number of coins will fall into the box in an instant. ”

“……”

"The reason why you didn't leave the scene quickly was because you didn't have laces on one of your shoes, and if you walked at a normal speed, the shoe would fall off. After rattling, although you put your shoelaces back on..."

Conan didn't say any more, it was no longer necessary.

The bloodstains on Miss Duan Ye's shoes were evidence, and she was just trying to struggle just now.

There was a brief silence.

"But why did she carry the extra black five-yen coin?" The Twilight Police Department was a little puzzled, and after asking, he looked at Ms. Duan Ye again, "The black five-yen coin placed next to the body, didn't it put it in your pocket after the black guard stole this time?" ”

"Those are for you." Ms. Duan Ye's expression was a little angry, "What was placed next to the corpse was put in my pocket when it was stolen last year... The five-yen coin that took my son's life! ”

"Son, son?"

"Could it be that the big head in your wallet..."

"Well, yes. The wallet that was stolen last year had my car keys in it, and because the keys were stolen, my son with asthma was locked in the car for hours and it was too late by the time he was taken to the hospital. So I desperately investigated the place where the pickpocket frequented on the Internet, intending to ambush and attack her. ”

"But why enlarge the headsticker?" Officer Takagi asked her, "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have found out it was your wallet." ”

"As soon as you open your wallet, you'll see that sticker at first glance, right? I posted it so that the pickpocket saw it. Let her know that she stole not just a wallet, but also the life of a little boy! ”

“……”

And so the case ended.

Ms. Duan Ye was taken away, and the remaining two suspects were about to leave, and the Dusk Police Department reminded them to record a statement another day.

Conan looked at Mr. Benzaki.

"Excuse me, uncle, are your eyesight not very good?"

"Huh? Why? ”

"Because the pickpocket aunt was shocked when she saw her uncle's face. That's probably because she stole your relationship with your uncle not long ago, right? Why didn't you say anything at that time, uncle? You must have seen that aunt for the second time, right? ”

"Yes, yes... You're right, my eyesight isn't very good. ”

"If you don't have good eyesight, how can you see cherry blossoms without glasses?"

"Are you here to see the cherry blossoms alone?"

Motota and Mitsuhiko asked one by one.

"Actually, I'm here to buy an amulet..."

"What amulet?" Ayumi said curiously.

"Is it an amulet for me?" As they spoke, a pregnant woman with a sun umbrella walked towards them from the crowd.

"Su, Sujiang?" Mr. Benzaki was stunned for a moment.

"Is it for this kid?" The pregnant woman, named Sujiang, gently touched her high bulging abdomen.

"That's for the baby."

"It's a talisman for smooth delivery."

Elementary school students were stunned.

"I'm not saying you're going to stay at home." Mr. Benzaki looked worried.

"I'm worried that you haven't come back for so long, so I'll come and have a look."

"Are you the one—" Judy couldn't help but speak, "the one who put tape on the bank robbery..."

"Oh, it's the foreigner back then. I'm sorry, but I was also coerced... Belch... Woo..."

Ms. Sue covered her mouth in the middle of her words, looking like she was about to vomit. It seemed that because she was very uncomfortable, she had some difficulty maintaining her balance for a while, and went straight to Judy.

Judy hurriedly held her up, "Are you alright?" ”

Kaedehara also helped out.

But she didn't look like she was fine. Mr. Benzaki hurriedly helped her to leave, and looked back at the Twilight Police Department, "I'm sorry, my wife is not feeling well, can I go back first?" ”

"Okay." The Twilight Police Department nodded in agreement.

And so the couple left.

Morning sickness...

Gray Yuan mourned and watched the couple leave, "Shouldn't morning sickness be a symptom of early pregnancy?" ”

"Well," Kaedehara replied, "I think I'm more than six months pregnant..."

"But it could also be something else that causes vomiting."

Conan casually helped the other party find an explanation, and then noticed that Kaede Hara took out a pair of headphones, "Hey, shouldn't you be..."

"yes." Kaedehara shoved one of the earphones into his ear, then hesitated slightly.

Conan had already unceremoniously stretched out his hand to himself, as if he was going to listen. Gray Plains, who was standing to his right, didn't stretch out his hand, but just leaned his head over at an angle.

Kaedehara blinked, and then, under Conan's contemptuous gaze, picked up another earphone and helped Gray Yuan put it on.

His hesitation just now was not originally due to choosing one or the other.

……

"What an unexpected accident."

In a car, Ms. Su Jiang sat in the passenger seat, "The man who was disguised as a template was actually pickpocketed." ”

"I wonder why he didn't bring his wallet." It was Mr. Benzaki who was driving, but his voice was no longer hoarse, "Fortunately, I took the three black coins in his arms." ”

"But why did you give him back your wallet?"

In order to return the wallet to "him" who was sleeping under the cherry blossom tree, they not only delayed for some time, but also almost attracted the attention of others.

"Because if he finds out that his wallet is missing, it will be very troublesome to shout again. I also have a bank card and a driver's license in my wallet. ”

"Thank you for putting the bugging device in her cuff when the FBI kitten grabbed her arm, and I helped you recover it safely."

As she spoke, she pressed somewhere in her abdomen, and the originally bulging belly of the pregnant woman instantly flattened like a deflated balloon. Then she pinched the skin under her left earlobe with her right hand and tore it open.

Belmore lifted his hair slightly.

"And then?" She also switched back to her original voice, "Did you hear anything from that kitten?" ”

"yes. It's a lot of gains. The man who looked like Mr. Benzaki chose to tear off the disguise from his neck, and then showed Amuro's face, "I heard the inside information unexpectedly." ”

"You're going to tell me what this message is about, right?"

"yes, until I get the hard evidence. But I have to say first, that's an extraordinary man. I'm talking about the teenager. ”

He was obviously referring to Conan Edogawa.

Belmore glanced at Amuro and showed a look that seemed to be smiling, "Oh? Is it just that? ”

So he wouldn't think about Shinichi Kudo...

Amuro was slightly stunned, "You're talking about the child who is said to be his twin brother, right?" I haven't seen it yet, if I have the chance..."

"Don't forget our agreement." Belmore didn't seem to want to continue the conversation, and his eyes drifted out of the window, "Just drop me down at the intersection ahead, my car is nearby." ”

Amuro stopped the car steadily.

Belmore got up and got out of the car.

"By the way, I almost forgot to mention it," Belmore leaned against the door and looked at Amuro, "I drew a good lottery for you, huh?" ”

Help me draw lots... Can the lottery also help?

Amuro didn't dwell on this, but squinted slightly at Belmode and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Is it? What is a signature? ”

"Fierce." Belmore said casually, waved his hand, closed the door, and walked towards his car in the alley.

Bad... Is this also a good sign?

This woman seems to have something to say...

Amuro watched Belmore disappear from his view before driving away.

On the other hand, Belmore had to go back to his car, tap his index finger to his chin and think for a moment before taking out a piece of paper.

"Secrets will be revealed..."

"Secret..."

She muttered for a moment, as if thinking of something, reached out and groped for herself, and then was slightly stunned.

From the inside of the pleats of the skirt, she tore off a sticker-like thing.

On the back of the sticker is a miniature device firmly attached.

"Miniature bugs..."

Belmore looked at the bug for a moment, then chuckled softly.

She was happy.

It's really fun.

Then she put the bugging to her lips and whispered to the other side, "Cool guy, I'm going to crush it..."

Syllable.

"I'm looking forward to the day when your heart is pierced by you..."

……

In the doctor's car, Kaedehara held the headphones that had just been taken off from Gray Hara's mourning ear.

After thinking for a while, he clicked on the recording in his phone, and then handed the phone and headphones directly to Conan, who couldn't wait.

Then he looked at the silent Gray Plains Mourning on the side.

Ash Yuan hung his head, his hands clenched into fists.

… That's why he hesitated before.

The elementary school students were still chatting and didn't pay attention to this, Feng Yuan gently held Gray Yuan's hand and pinched it, and she came back to her senses.

Kaedehara tried to unfold her limp hand, trying to shove his fingers between her fingers.

Gray Yuan let Kaedehara operate, just staring at Kaedehara's eyes in a daze. The familiar, soft gaze calmed her.

"I know what you're thinking..."Kaedehara blinked.

Gray Yuan Wai bit his lip lightly.

She wasn't afraid that Belmore and another member of the group had just appeared. What scared her was that the "radar" she had been living on didn't react at all.

If you lose this...

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw the person in front of her smile confidently and brightly.

This made her heart stop beating half a beat, and the previous signature came to her mind.

There is no fear of failure or results in your mind, so keep your head up and work hard to achieve your goal...

"But don't worry," Kaedehara continued, "I can give you a very reasonable explanation. ”
