As soon as Haibara Ai arrived downstairs in the apartment where the victim lived, Ayumi ran towards her in surprise, followed by Takagi Wataru who looked helpless. Three children came at once, and he was responsible for them all.
Haibara Ai was very unaccustomed to Ayumi's enthusiasm and hid a little uncomfortably, but when she saw her innocent big eyes, she felt that she seemed too inhumane.
"Conan? How come you are with Haibara-san?" Ayumi noticed Conan's figure, and the joy she felt just now was suddenly diluted by unknown emotions.
Haibara-classmate is the person she admires, and Conan is the person she cares about. They are obviously twice as happy, but when they appear together, she seems so redundant...
Haibara Ai's maturity is too harmonious with Conan's. Although she doesn't know the truth, Ayumi can vaguely sense the gap between the two and herself.
"Because she has been staying at Dr. Agasa's house recently, I went to Dr. Agasa's house today, so we came together." Conan asked again strangely, "By the way, Ayumi, how do you know this guy?"
This guy...
To Haiyuan Ai, it doesn't sound like a good word, with a bit of resentment, but to Ayumi, it sounds a bit casual after getting to know each other closely...
"Conan, you didn't come to school today, so you don't know about Haihara's transfer to our class, right?" Ayumi asked again with concern, "By the way, Conan, how did you go to the hospital today? Did you find out anything wrong?
ah?"
Mentioning the hospital, some not-so-good memories forcibly surfaced in Conan's mind. It was so shameful... Why do we need to do a intestinal examination?
"It's okay, it's okay, it's really okay..." Conan said perfunctorily with a dry smile, "By the way, Ayumi, what is going on in this case? Tell me from the beginning."
Ayumi nodded, and then told her story about going to the dentist.
"After school today, I made an appointment with Dr. Ye Zi for a dental appointment, but the journey was a bit far. I was a little scared, so I begged Haiyuan classmate to accompany me."
Conan looked at Haibara Ai in surprise. This strange girl with cold eyes could actually have such a gentle side.
"Then Dr. Yezi said that he would send me home, so Haiyuan-san went back first. After that, she pulled my teeth. After that, I felt a little sleepy and wanted to sleep."
Speaking of this, Ayumi was a little annoyed, "At that time, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see Masked Superman, but Dr. Ye Zi said she would wake me up, but after I was woken up at 7:30, I fell asleep again not long after watching.
, when I woke up again, the animation had finished playing, and I didn’t see the rest of it..."
"However, thanks to Masked Superman's protection, today's tooth extraction didn't hurt at all."
Conan asked strangely: "What do you mean?"
"There are Masked Superman playing cards on Dr. Ye Zi's coffee table. Before I pulled the tooth, I took an Ace of Hearts as a talisman. After pulling out the tooth, I put it back while watching Masked Superman."
Ayumi added: "Officer Takagi asked me if I had seen Dr. Ye Zi at 7:30, and I answered yes. At that time, Dr. Ye Zi asked me to get up and watch Masked Superman. She was so gentle, she must not be a prisoner!"
Ayumi looked at Takagi Wataru on the side with some dissatisfaction. Takagi Wataru scratched his head, unable to explain clearly to the child.
"That means the victim died at half past seven..." Conan touched his chin in thought, Haihara Ai's eyes remained on him, and Ayumi paid attention to Haihara Ai's expression.
"Ayumi, do you remember what time you arrived at the dental clinic?"
Haiyuan Ai suddenly said from the side, "Six-thirty in the evening."
Conan glanced at her, startled for a moment, and then asked Takagi Sheba, "Officer Takagi, why do you doubt Dr. Ye Zi?"
Takagi Wataru knew that Conan was helping Mao Lilan collect case details, which would be used when writing a book later. He looked around, and then whispered:
"It's because she had the motive to commit the crime. The victim, Katsuhiko Nakamoto, was arrested in a village in Yamanashi Prefecture 26 years ago on suspicion of kidnapping and tearing up votes, but in the end he was not prosecuted because of insufficient evidence."
"The person who was killed at the time was a 9-year-old boy, and that boy had a sister, Sawaki Yoko."
"Ah?" Bumi covered her mouth with a look of surprise and sadness, "Doctor Ye Zi is so pitiful."
"Because she had a motive for murder, I went to Ayumi to confirm her alibi. If Ms. Sawaki Yoko did wake Ayumi to watch Masked Superman at 7:30 pm, then her alibi would be
The proof is established.”
"Because it took her fifty minutes to go back and forth between the two places and complete the killing. According to Ayumi, Ms. Sawaki finished pulling Ayumi's teeth around seven o'clock, and then woke Ayumi at half past seven.
After watching Masked Superman, I finally sent Ayumi home at eight o'clock."
"Looking at it this way, she has absolutely no time to commit the crime." Takagi Wataru frowned and scratched his head. This kind of case was too difficult for him.
Conan lowered his head and thought for a while. Since the time could not be faked, the problem was the location. He had some guesses in his mind and needed further confirmation.
Haiyuan Ai noticed the subtle smile on his lips and asked, "What, Detective, do you have an idea?"
Conan nodded, then sighed again, raised his head and asked Takagi Wataru, "Officer Takagi, President Hanyu... is he here?"
Conan was immediately discouraged. With that person here, he didn't have much use for seeing through the truth. He had better think about how to help Xiaolan write a book.
He reluctantly turned to Takagi, "Now that President Hanyu is here, Officer Takagi, you don't have to worry so much. The case will be solved soon."
Takagi Wataru said tangledly: "That's true, but I always feel like I've become a handyman, not like a criminal policeman at all. Alas..."
Conan nodded empathetically.
Haibara Ai was stunned. According to her understanding of Kudo Shinichi, shouldn't she be trying to find out the truth at this time and then expose the murderer's conspiracy? Why did the story suddenly stop?
"Who is President Hanyu?" Haihara Ai asked strangely.
Conan smiled mysteriously, "It's the Onmyoji I told you about on the way."
Haibara Ai frowned slightly, was this the Onmyoji he mentioned when he scared her like a little girl? This Kudo Shinichi... what on earth is going on? Why does it seem to be a little different from what he learned before?
Officer Memu was already waiting for the two young witnesses. They entered the apartment building and arrived at the deceased's house. Haibara Ai walked behind and quietly looked at the people in the room. Except for the uniformed policemen,
Not many people.
She had seen Maori Ran and Sawaki Yoko, and she had also seen Maori Kogoro's face on TV and newspapers. The rest were two young men she had never seen before.
!!!
Haiyuan Ai's pupils suddenly trembled. She felt the unique aura of the organization members on one of the dark-skinned men. That feeling was absolutely unmistakable!
She backed away slowly in panic, subconsciously grabbing Conan's sleeve next to her...
