Chapter 354: The Number of Balls in the Driving Range

Monday, February 3, morning, golf driving range.

With the sound of the explosion, Conan immediately shouted: "Sister Lan, call the ambulance, call the police." He rushed over after speaking, followed closely by Mao Li. Then the head of the class, the waiter and a woman dressed as a manager ran out of the lobby.

Mei Daizi complained: "Really, something happened again."

Yamazaki said with a smile: "You can eat cake here, I'll go and have a look."

"Okay." Mei Daizi said, "Hurry up, this is boring."

Yamazaki smiled and said, "You will be fine when you finish eating the cake." Then he handed over the newspaper and said, "Let's read the newspaper." After finishing speaking, he drank the juice in the glass, got up and went to the scene in District 8.

"This smell, black gunpowder?" Yamazaki asked Mouri who was checking the minister's injury, "Uncle?"

"It should be," Molly said.

Yamazaki asked, "How is the person?"

Mao Li pointed to the white-collar in his thirties who was being supported by the waiter and said, "He stood a little farther away and was overwhelmed by the sound. He should be fine now." Then he pointed to the white-collar in his twenties and said, " He was standing close, and he was affected by some impact, and a few fragments were inserted into his body." Then he pointed to the minister on the ground and said, "This one still has a breath...

"The front of the body is full of fragments of clubs and the like, mainly on the legs," Conan said, pointing to the minister's leg interface. "It can be confirmed that the explosion occurred while playing."

"Boy, I don't want you to talk about it." Maori punched Conan and planted a mushroom.

The female manager asked: "May I ask who you are?"

The service staff said: "Mr. Mori Kogoro."

"Mao, Mori Kogoro!" The manager was taken aback.

Mori said seriously: "Yes, I am the detective Mori Kogoro." Then he grabbed the female manager's hand and said with a smile, "Leave this matter to me, I will definitely be able to solve it here."

"You, hello." The manager looked like he was about to cry.

"She must be thinking that it would be nice if uncle wasn't here." Conan rubbed his head and laughed softly.

Yamazaki laughed softly: "Lan should look for the Megure Police Department, and the Megure Police Department will definitely have this idea."

Maori asked the three white-collar workers, "Have you asked for advice yet?"

"We are from the Development Department of the Electric Chemical Company," the section chief introduced. "This is Director Eisuke Tachibana, I am Section Chief Minoru Yasui, and this is Director Okubo Tatsuya. The youngest employee is Mr. Minami Tomoshi."

"Development Department of Electric Chemical Company?" Mori asked, "So making black gunpowder is easy for you?"

"Are you suspicious of us? We are developing electrical products, not chemicals." Section Chief Yasui shouted, "This must be an indiscriminate event."

"No difference?" Maori asked, "Manager, did you offend anyone?"

"No." The manager said, "Someone came to buy this land a few years ago, but now no one buys it if they want to sell it, and the land tax is paid for all the money they make."

"Can I borrow a camera?" Yamazaki said, "It's better to have a Polaroid, and the film is ours."

"Yes." The manager immediately went to get it.

After the seven photos were taken, the ambulance came and took the minister away.

After another ten minutes, the Mumu Police Department led the team to the scene with a bad face.

After ordering his subordinates to go to work, he took Maori to the side and said, "You can't rest easy. I don't go to bed until two o'clock today. Do you know it's two o'clock? Now," Mumu Police Department looked at his watch, "Seven o'clock Thirty-five minutes, only five hours."

"Five and a half hours," Molly said.

The Mumu Police Department shouted: "Doesn't it take time to come here?"

"Use, use, I forgot to forget." Mao Li laughed dryly.

After taking a deep breath, Meguro Police Department asked, "Why are you here?"

Maori smiled proudly: "Miss Yoko invited me to attend the Mihua Town Charity Golf Tournament in the afternoon, so I came to practice."

"You? Playing golf?" Mumu Police Department raised its triangular eyes and asked back.

"Of course." Maori smiled proudly.

"Cough!" Mumu Police Department asked seriously, "What happened this time?"

Mao Li introduced the names of the four white-collar workers, handed over the photos, and said, "Mr. Orange suddenly exploded when he was playing ball. I don't know the details yet."

Megure Police Department asked: "Do you think it will be an indiscriminate killing against this stadium?"

Maori repeated what the manager had said, and then said, "This should be true."

At this time, the forensic personnel asked the Mumu Police Department to go over, and then pointed to the small pit on the ground in District 8 and said: "It can be concluded that the explosive is made of black powder, and the initial location is here. Based on the shape of the pit, we conclude that the explosion The explosives were not buried inside beforehand, the explosives were detonated on the ground."

Megure Police Department said: "So the explosives were placed in the golf ball, or in the head of the club, or both. If it is a golf ball, it may be an indiscriminate killing. If it is a club The head of the ball..."

Maori said, "The prisoner is among the three of them."

The forensic personnel pointed to the debris on the ground next to it and said: "This is a fragment of the club head, and this is a fragment of a golf ball. It can blow up a golf ball. We preliminarily determined that the explosive is in the golf ball."

Picking up the fragments of the ball and looking at it, Mumu Police Department asked: "Manager, do you have a red line on each of your balls?"

"No, our balls here are all green lines." The manager said quickly.

Maori said: "This is the mark of having installed explosives."

Megure Police Department said: "The question is, is this aimed at Mr. Tachibana personally, or is there no difference?"

Nam Ji Shi said, "I think it was aimed at the minister."

Police Department Megure asked, "Oh, why do you think so?"

Nan Zhishi said: "It's because the three of us have enough motives."

Section Chief Yasui yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"That's right, just take me as an example. Before this, there have been three new product ideas submitted by the minister in his own name," Director Okubo said, "And Chishi, you don't know how many times you mentioned it. Suggestions were never accepted."

Section Chief Yasui said, "But I'm different. I have no problems with the director."

Director Okubo said: "Mr. Yasui, you don't have to lie anymore. We all know it a long time ago. In fact, your most beloved girlfriend was snatched away by the minister a long time ago."

Section Chief Yasui shouted: "No, it was after I dumped her that the director started dating her."

"Huh? Mr. Yasui, why is there no dust on your body?" Mao Li asked, and then said, "Understood, I understand, Meguro Police Department, I know who is the criminal."

Police Department Megure asked, "Really, Mouri?"

Mao Li said: "First of all, judging from the method, the prisoner mixed the ball filled with explosives with other balls so that the victim could hit it with a club. In this way, the most suspicious thing is the ball from the ball machine. Take out the ball inside, and then give the ball to Mr. Orange's people."

Manager Yasui said: "That's Okubo, he took it. I was sorting out the clubs, and Minami went to the bathroom."

"But what happened later?" Mori said, "You gave some of the balls to Mr. Tachibana, right? That's when the ball with the explosive was put in. And you asked Mr. Okubo to fetch the ball because you wanted to put blame on Mr. Tachibana. he."

Section Chief Yasui said: "Please wait a moment. I was playing in District 9 at the time. I was the closest to the director. If there was an explosion, I might die too."

"As long as you pay attention when you put the red ball in the back position, the red ball will naturally appear in the back when the ball feeder is in operation," Mao Li said, "and then as long as you finish playing quickly, it will be fine. .”

"I've always played very fast." Section Chief Yasui asked, "Okubo, don't you think so?"

Okubo Tatsu also turned his face away without answering.

"You left the driving range after playing," Mori asked. "Mr. Okubo and Mr. Nan were both at the scene when the explosion happened, and they were both affected. And you? Excuse me, where were you at that time?"

"I went to order coffee from the counter. Our minister likes to drink a cup of coffee brewed by the manager himself after every game, so every time I go to the counter ten minutes before he finishes playing the game Please ask the manager to start preparing the coffee." Mr. Yasui said, "Generally speaking, it's almost time after I finish playing."

The manager said: "We are coffee beans here, and it takes about ten minutes to process them, so they are all booked in advance. This Minister Tachibana will drink a cup of coffee every time he comes, and it is all booked by Section Chief Yasui."

The Mumu Police Department asked, "Do you often come here?"

"Yes," said Section Chief Yasui. "This time, the director was transferred abroad to be the branch manager. There is going to be a farewell party. The director came to practice his skills."

"Is that so?" Mumu Police Department asked, "Maori?"

"Police, when the explosion happened, Mr. Yasui was the only one who just left the scene. It's a bit of a coincidence." Maori asked, "Maybe I can check his belongings?"

Megure Police Department asked: "Mr. Yasui, can we check the luggage you brought?"

"Okay." Said Mr. Yasui.

"Hey, what do you think?" Conan asked softly.

"Mr. Yasui's actions are very regular, and he is the best scapegoat." Yamazaki said.

Conan asked, "What's the motive?"

"Love and bread," Yamazaki said, "not everyone will choose love, and at their age, girlfriends are at least a dozen years ago, and they won't wait until now. Of course, the motive may be other , but after the minister is transferred, he might be promoted to minister, with very little motivation.”

Conan asked, "Then who do you think it is?"

"In Japanese companies, seniority ranking is very serious," Yamazaki said, "Okubo Tatsuya was able to become a director in his thirties, probably because of the blessings of those three creative ideas. I think he is also aware of this. From In terms of motives, Mr. Namichi is the most suspicious, and it is not surprising that he would be impulsive when his proposal was rejected not long after he entered the workplace. These are only speculations, and no evidence has been found."

"Mr. Nan Zhishi?" Conan said, "But he has never touched the ball, wait, if it is the head of the club..."

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Oh, it seems that you know something, now the matter is resolved."

"Maybe." Conan said.

"Then I might add a little more for you," Yamazaki said, "Go and count how many balls they have left."

"Number of balls?" Conan said with a smile, "This is really a good idea." Then he went to the eighth area.

At this time, the forensic personnel reported that a ball with a red line was found in Mr. Yasui's bag.

"This, how is this possible?" Section Chief Yasui was taken aback.

"This is the most convincing proof." Maori laughed, "In case that ball doesn't work, this thing can be used as a backup."

Section Chief Yasui shouted: "That's not the case, it's not mine, I don't know anything about it."

Mao Li smiled proudly: "Actually, this incident..."

Yamazaki stepped forward and whispered, "Uncle, it's not him."

"What?" Molly froze.

"If the prisoner can't be found, it is inevitable to search his personal belongings. Isn't it waiting to be caught in the bag?" Yamazaki said in a low voice, "If this matter was really planned by Mr. Yasui, he should take the red ball with him. He was on the body and disposed of the red ball when he heard the sound of the explosion. He was outside at that time, so he had every chance to have time to deal with the red ball."

"Uh," Maori said in a low voice after thinking for a while in surprise, "you mean someone framed him."

"Yes." Yamazaki said in a low voice, then saw Conan made a good gesture, and then said in a low voice, "Uncle, please take the penalty from Megure Police Department."

"Number of balls?" Maori thought for a while and smiled, "That's right." Then he said, "Cough! In fact, there is still one thing I don't understand about this incident. Mumu Police Department, can someone please click on the golf balls in this driving range The number of people? We and them were the only two groups who came here this morning, and they received a total of five times and 1,000 golf balls."

"By the way," Megure Police Department said with a smile, "If it was an indiscriminate killing, then the ball with the explosive should be mixed in among the thousand balls. Now that it exploded, there should be one less golf ball here."

"It is also possible that the prisoner replaced a ball and took the ball outside and disposed of it." Yamazaki said.

"That's the head of the section." Director Okubo said, "Tomoshi went out when we were holding the ball, and the only one who went out after that was the section head."

Yamazaki said: "Megure Police Department, there are 200 balls in the block. On our side, there are 157 balls in Uncle Mori's 18th area, and 170 balls in my 17th area. twelve."

Conan came over and said, "Over there, there are no more balls in the 9th area, and there are 91 balls in the 8th area. There are a total of 420 balls in the four areas, including the balls on the block. The 620 balls are still there, and it will be fine to order 380 balls."

"Very good, go and click to see if there are 380 golf balls left." Mumu Police Department ordered. ...
