Chapter 1399: Remembrance of Duty Day

Monday, February 23, before evening, Didan High School, infirmary.

Yamazaki and Mei Daizi came in and found someone on the hospital bed, a male student of ordinary build, with short hair and dark skin.

Yamazaki asked: "Hi, why are you still not home?"

The boy said angrily, "It's none of your business."

"Hey, I want to fight." Mei Daizi shouted.

"The tone is not small." The boy said angrily, "But I don't hit girls."

"Shigu, forget it, Mei Daizi is the person with the highest force value I have ever seen, bar none, you are a member of the Zhuoqiu club, you are too bad to fight."

Sumi Tsukamoto, who was passing by outside, interjected, and then brought Sonoko, Ran, and Conan in, and introduced the boy to everyone.

"His name is Shigu Guofan, and he is said to be in the same class as me, but because of a car accident that hit his spine, he has been taking a break from school for treatment, and he just went back to school not long ago, so I don't know you guys."

"So that's the case." Mei Daizi said.

"Seko, you're so late, why don't you go home, what are you doing here?" Sumi Tsukamoto asked, "What's wrong with you? Shall we send you back?"

Shigu Guofan said bluntly: "No, I've had enough lying down, and I will go back naturally."

Yamazaki asked: "Sister, do you think Seko-senpai knows Hosaka Hideaki-senpai?"

"Huh!" Tsukamoto Sumi stared at Seko Kunishi, "I said Seko, the recent ghost commotion, you can't be playing tricks, right? I heard you said that you and Hosaka Hideaki have known each other since childhood, and I remember , you happened to be on duty before, and we laughed at you at the time that you were unlucky, and you were drawn to be on duty when you first came to school."

"Uh..." Shigu Guofan hesitated.

"You really did it?" Yuanzi accused, "Do you know how much trouble this has caused everyone, Lan was too scared to go up the stairs."

"Yuanzi." Lan blushed in embarrassment, so don't talk about such things.

"Well, I admit, I did it." Shiko Kunoshige said heavily, "Because I don't want people to forget Hosaka. In most people's memory, Hosaka is just a classmate who died accidentally. Time has passed, and Hosaka has faded out. It hurts people's memories, looking at you one by one, I feel very sad, for Hosaka."

Sumi Tsukamoto said: "Although Hosaka has not been with us for a long time, we have not forgotten him."

"Nonsense," Shigu Guofan said, "His desk and chair are alone in the warehouse, covered with dust."

"Nonsense, the things in the warehouse are not covered with dust." Sumi Tsukamoto said angrily, and then sighed, "Hosaka's table and chairs are because we are still reading his certificate, and we don't want others to use them. We took the desks and chairs, so we took them and put them in the warehouse, we thought, let this set of desks and chairs replace Hosaka and take pictures with us when we take graduation photos.”

"Uh..." Shigu Guofan was speechless.

Sumi Tsukamoto smiled and said, "You, it seems that we need someone to help you."

Shigu Guofan was puzzled, "What?"

"You did this because you just went to school again, you are very unfamiliar with your classmates, you can't integrate into the group, and you have no way of knowing how others miss Hosaka, and at the same time, you miss Hosaka-senpai even more when you are alone, so you do such absurd things. " Sumi Tsukamoto smiled, "So we need someone to help you integrate into the group, so that you will no longer be alone."

"I'm fine now." Shi Gu Guofan turned his head away.

Tsukamoto Sumi smiled and said: "You stubborn guy." Then he told Yamazaki, Mei Daiko, Lan, and Sonoko not to tell the story, and the ghost commotion ended.

"Then, the matter is clear, we should go back." Yamazaki said with a smile, "Senior sister, Lan, you can continue to be on duty."

"Okay, you guys go back quickly." Sumi Tsukamoto smiled.

Mei Daizi smiled and said,

"Lan, you don't have to be afraid now."

Yuanzi smiled and said: "How can it be so fast, but it should be fine to survive this duty."

"Yuanzi!" Lan was a little ashamed and angry. ...

Mei Dai Restaurant.

Yamazaki and Mei Daizi couldn't have dinner in time, so they could only go to work on an empty stomach. They didn't sit down to eat late dinner until after half past seven in the evening, at the end of the first half.

Mei Daizi asked: "Brother, I thought of a way. Can you use holographic technology to create a Hosaka-senpai to appear on camera?"

"Of course." Yamazaki said.

"Hey," Mei Daizi said with a smirk, "Nalan must have screamed in fright when she saw it."

Yamazaki laughed and said, "It definitely will."...

The next day, Tuesday, February 24, afternoon.

On the way to Didan Elementary School, the Boys Detective Team spotted a police car and followed it to watch the excitement.

Outside an apartment building, a cordon was pulled. Next to the old refrigerator in the open space beside the building, there was a circle of white lines marking the remains. There were fragments of flower pots scattered nearby, but the base was intact on the ground.

Seeing that Police Officer Chiba was collecting intelligence, the Detective Boys stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

The deceased was discovered this morning. His name was Egami Libo. He was an old lady who lived alone. She liked to wear black coats and rummaged through other people's garbage.

"Looking through other people's garbage?" Ayumi clicked her tongue.

"This is too hygienic." Yuan Tai said.

"That's why I like to wear black clothes." Huiyuan said, "It's resistant to dirt."

Police officer Chiba said: "She also likes to publicize the personal affairs she finds in the garbage, so she is nicknamed Granny Crow by others."

"Is this illegal?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"It depends on the circumstances." Police Officer Chiba said helplessly, "In short, she won't change after repeated admonitions."

Conan said: "Then, this should be the motive for the murder."

"The motive for the murder?" Police Officer Chiba said with a smile, "It was just an accident."

"Really?" Conan asked, pointing to the fragments of the flowerpot. "At that time, the deceased was lying beside the refrigerator, reaching for something under the refrigerator, and then was hit by a flowerpot falling from the sky, isn't that right?"

"That's right, the murder weapon was the flowerpot, and the cause of death was being hit on the head by the flowerpot." Police Officer Chiba said with a smile, "I really didn't expect you, Conan, to see this."

Haibara asked, "So, what is she looking for?"

"We found a 500-yen coin and half a lottery ticket under the refrigerator." Officer Chiba said, "her fingerprints were on it. We guessed that after she lost the money, when she picked it up, Discovered the lottery ticket, and then wanted to get the lottery ticket."

Mitsuhiko asked: "But, isn't there only half a sheet?"

Yuan Tai asked: "Then what's the use of coming?"

"She probably didn't know," Police Officer Chiba said, "The time of death was last night, and the street lights here are not good, so I took half a lottery ticket as a lottery ticket, but was hit by a flower pot on my windowsill , Speaking of it, the neighbors warned her, but she just didn't listen."

Ayumi said: "It's bad luck."

"It's not luck, this incident must be man-made." Conan said.

Officer Chiba asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because of the distance and angle." Conan said.

"So that's how it is." Huiyuan said, "The natural fall of the flowerpot will be a parabola, and when a person lies on the ground next to the refrigerator, the angle will be blocked by the refrigerator, and the flowerpot should hit the upper edge of the refrigerator first. , even if it happens to bypass the top edge of the refrigerator, it will not hit the head inside the parabola."

Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko didn't understand, but police officer Chiba was a little dumbfounded, isn't this kid too powerful?

"Cough," Conan changed the subject, "Anyway, someone must have held the flowerpot, stretched out his hand so that the flowerpot was aimed at the dead man's head in the air, and then let go of the hand to let the flowerpot fall."

Huiyuan asked: "But, how can it be possible to align in the middle of the night?"

"There must be a small flashlight." Conan said, "Since the deceased likes to dig through the trash, he must have a small flashlight to illuminate the trash at night."

"There is indeed a small flashlight at the scene." Officer Chiba said.

Ayumi asked: "So, the murderer is the person living upstairs?"

Mitsuhiko said: "Not necessarily, maybe it's on the rooftop."

"But, isn't it midnight?" Yuan Tai asked, "How did the murderer know that this mother-in-law will come back and drop the money in the refrigerator?"

"It's very simple, just open the door of the refrigerator a little, and then put the lottery ticket under the refrigerator, exposing a corner." Conan said, "This mother-in-law likes to dig through the trash, and when she sees the door of the refrigerator is open, she will definitely look at it, and then Seeing the lottery ticket, she picked up the lottery ticket and found that it was half of it, she would lie down on the ground to see if the other half was at the foot of the refrigerator, and then she saw the coin in the middle of the bottom of the refrigerator."

"Speaking of which, the coin is indeed placed in the middle of the bottom of the refrigerator." Officer Chiba was surprised, "Could it really be a murder?"

"It must be." Conan said, "The murderer killed her with a flowerpot while she was picking up coins."

Mitsuhiko asked: "Wait, for five hundred yen coins, it's a bit unreasonable to pick them up on the ground?"

"Yeah." Ayumi said.

Yuan Tai said: "I picked it up."

Officer Chiba said: "Okay, thank you, I will investigate again."...
