Chapter 371: A Falling Bird on the Road
Wednesday, March 26, around nine o'clock in the morning.
On the way back to 5-chome from Shanni Temple, Sonoko asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
Lan asked in surprise, "Yuanzi, aren't you planning to go back?"
"If you go back, you won't be able to get out." Yuanzi said with a smile, "It's just another day to play."
"Then where should I go?" Mei Daizi asked.
"Street shopping, shopping, aquarium, Disneyland, theater, karaoke, bowling, etc." Sonoko said, "It seems that these are the places."
After thinking about it, Mei Daizi said: "It's not very fun, forget it, I agree with going to Disneyland, shopping is also fine."
"I think you can go to the center of the town, and then you can go shopping, shopping, watching dramas, karaoke bars, and bowling all over again." Lan said.
"Then go to the town center?" Sonoko asked.
"I have no objection." Mei Daizi said.
Maori asked: "Hey, hello, Lan, in this case, what shall we have for lunch? It doesn't matter to me, but Conan?"
Conan raised his triangular eyes, don't drag me, if not, I'll go to Dr. Ali's house.
"Okay, let this kid follow us," Sonoko said, "Maybe it's still useful."
"What's the use?" Mei Daizi asked, "Carrying bags?"
"I'm calling you." Conan touched Yamazaki with his elbow.
"I heard that in some places with children, you can get a discount." Yuanzi said.
"Uh, that..." Maori hesitated to speak.
Yamazaki said with a smile: "I heard that Miss Yoko is filming in the town center these two days."
"Really?" Molly asked in surprise.
Sonoko said, "By the way, the opening scene of the Night Baron is in Mihua Town."
Maori said happily: "Let's go to the town center."
"Wait, uncle," Yamazaki said, "we have to go back first."
"No problem," Molly said.
After driving safely for 40 minutes, Mao Li, Lan, Conan, Sonoko, Mei Daizi and Yamazaki hit the base safely and arrived in front of Mei Dai Restaurant.
After getting out of the car, Yamazaki and Mei Daizi went home and said hello to their father Ichiro Miyamoto, then took some cash, changed the satellite phone, and then went downstairs and got into the car.
Because of the bad road, after thirty-five minutes, it took almost three times as long for Mao Li and his party to reach the center of the town, and found that there were indeed many people here today.
After going around for a long time, finally finding a parking space, Mao Li got out of the car and rushed to the shooting scene he saw just now. Yamazaki, Mei Daizi, Lan, Conan and Yuanzi went to the central building, Lan, Mei Daizi and Yuanzi went to the mall, Yamazaki and Conan picked up the newspaper at the waiting area of the mall and read it.
At 11:30, Yamazaki received a call asking them to book a private room at the restaurant above.
At twelve o'clock, in the private room, Conan said, "Call and ask."
Yamazaki pushed the mobile phone to Conan, Conan thought for a while, and then waited with his chin resting.
At 12:15 noon, Mao Li called, and he got a bento in the crew, so there was no need to wait for him.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the three of Mei Daizi entered the restaurant, Yuanzi was holding three sets of new cosmetics, several sets of summer clothes and shoes, Lan was holding a bottle of facial cleanser,
For a pair of shoes, Mei Daizi is holding a large Gomera chocolate that is 20 centimeters high, and now it is missing a tail and three legs.
Yuanzi flipped through the menu from the beginning to the end, and then from the end to the beginning, and asked, "Why is there no discount?"
"With so many people, how could there be a discount." Conan said angrily.
"Ah." Sonoko shouted, "I forgot, it's vacation time now."
"Otherwise, what time do you think it is?" Conan muttered, "Skipping class time?"
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Yamazaki was assigned to book seats in karaoke halls and bowling alleys, and to occupy space in the game room. Conan was assigned to go to three cake shops on three floors to see if the best cakes were still in stock, and whether there were reservations for the afternoon Yes, and buy five more ice creams by the way.
Seven or eight minutes later, Conan came back with five ice creams and reported that he can have a cake with a maximum size of 14 inches when ordering at 2:30, so he was assigned to order a 7-inch cake, and added an investigation of theaters and cinemas in the afternoon The task of performing the situation.
A few minutes later, Yamazaki called to report that the karaoke hall and the bowling alley were temporarily unoccupied, and he was now occupying the machine in the game room.
A few minutes later, Conan came back panting and reported that the drama and movie were not up to date, and he had already seen them. So the lunch break was over, and after Lan and Sonoko had stored their things, they went to the game room with Mei Daizi and Conan.
At 2:10 in the afternoon, Yamazaki booked a private room in the karaoke hall ten minutes later. At 20:00, everyone entered the karaoke hall, and Mei Daizi immediately ordered several songs for Conan to sing. At thirty-five minutes, Yamazaki brought the ordered cake.
At three o'clock, Yamazaki got a seat in the bowling alley, and Conan, who was singing again, immediately dropped the microphone and rushed over. At fifteen minutes, the three of Lan left the karaoke room early and went to the bowling alley.
Yamazaki and Mei Daiko did not play, and Lan, Sonoko and Conan played three rounds in 40 minutes.
At ten past four, Yuanzi resolutely rejected Lan's idea of asking Maori to drive her, and took a taxi home. At fifteen minutes, Lan and the others found Maori, just as Miss Yoko had left, so the five of them embarked on the journey to return the car. At 50 minutes, the five of them set off on their way home. There was no traffic jam this time, but Mao Li and the leasing company had to grind for 15 minutes because of the tires. In the end, the rent was waived for one day, but the two new tires were paid to the leasing company.
Before five in the evening, on the way home, passing a demolition area in 5-chome, suddenly a bird fell on the road not far in front of them.
Looking at the sky, Mei Daizi couldn't help but ask, "Why did this bird fall?"
Looking at the little bird that Conan picked up and held in his hands, Lan asked, "Are you injured?"
"It seems not." Before Conan finished speaking, the little bird flew up, but was immediately caught by Mei Daizi.
"Mei Daizi." Lan exclaimed.
"It's okay." Mei Daizi said, and then pinched the bird's neck with her left hand to check every part of the bird's body, "It's really not injured."
"Maybe it's anemia." Mao Li said with a smile, "Maybe it's not high blood pressure."
"Let it go," Lan said.
"Of course." Mei Daizi said, putting her right hand under the feet of the little bird that didn't even move its wings, and let go of her left hand. The little bird stood on Mei Daizi's hand and spread its wings and flew away.
At this time, there was a scream from the old building next to it, and Conan and Maori rushed over immediately.
Mei Daizi smiled in surprise as she walked in, "No way, it's coming again."
Lan smiled wryly, "Maybe."
Yamazaki smiled and said, "Here, make a call back, we'll be there later." He gave Mei Daizi his cell phone.
"Okay." Mei Daizi said, and then looked at Mao Li and laughed, and Lan also laughed. Because Maori slammed into a transparent glass door, and then slid against the door from above to the ground.
The administrator asked, "May I ask what you need?"
"There was a woman screaming here just now." Maori said, "Please open the door quickly."
"Is it true?" The administrator was taken aback, then came out from the gatehouse, and smiled at the middle-aged man who just came back from the outside with fishing gear on his back, "You came back very early today."
"No way, the fish have become smarter." The middle-aged man smiled, and then asked, "What happened?"
At this time, a woman with a panicked face opened the glass door and rushed out, "It's not good, my husband, my husband was knocked down by someone on the balcony, it seems, he seems to be dead."
"Don't worry, ma'am, with my detective Moori Kogoro here, everything is fine." Maori laughed, and then asked in the exclamation of the three, "Madam, the person who screamed just now is you, Right? Where do you live?" He said and walked inside.
"I live in Room 701," the woman said.
Looking at the concierge's phone, Yamazaki said, "Lan, please call an ambulance and call the police."
"Yeah." Lan responded and went.
Conan asked the administrator: "Uncle, I just saw the nameplate of the residents on the mailbox. Why does it seem that there are only two families living here?"
The administrator said: "This building will be completely demolished by the end of next month, so the only ones still in use are the company of the owner, Mr. Imoto, and Mr. Terasawa, who is next to me."
Soon after, everyone came to Room 701. Mao Li stopped the administrator from pushing the door, wrapped the handle with a handkerchief, pushed the door open, then looked at the shoes on the floor in the entrance and asked, "Apart from a pair of high heels, what else is there?" Have two pairs of men's shoes, Mrs. Imoto?"
Mrs. Imoto said: "I don't know who owns a pair of men's shoes."
When I entered the room and came to the balcony, I found a man standing on the balcony, and there was a person lying on the ground in front of him.
Mao Li poked the neck of the person lying on the ground, then shook his head at Mrs. Imoto, and continued, "There are obvious scars on the back of the head, and there are broken flowerpots on the ground. It seems that one of them is the murder weapon." Then Asked the standing man, "Did you kill Mr. Imoto?"
"No, it's not me." The man said.
At this time, the ambulance came, and Maori asked Yamazaki to ask them to go back.
Ten minutes later, the police arrived, led by the Megure Police Department.
After ordering his subordinates to start work, Mumu Police Department said to Maori: "I saw you again, Maori."
Maori smiled and said, "It's my honor." Then he talked about the matter.
Not long after, the forensic personnel reported that it could pass.
The Mumu Police Department looked at the body and said: "The cause of death is obviously a contusion of the brain."
Maori said: "Based on my guess, the murderer killed the victim by throwing the bonsai from behind and hitting the back of the victim's head."
"Okay, let's check the bonsai near his head." Mumu Police Department ordered, "See if there is any blood."
At this time, Conan pointed to a small scratch on the balcony railing and said, "Look, this is a new one, could it be related to this incident?"
Mao Li yelled: "Little devil." As he spoke, he picked up Conan, "Damn, you want me to tell you a few times, when adults are handling the case, children should not come in and interrupt." Then he threw Conan into the room.
After convening everyone, the Megure Police Department said while recording: "The victim, Mr. Ryusuke Imoto, the president of the real estate company, died of a brain contusion. The person who found the body was his wife, Mrs. Takako Imoto. You were the one who arrived at the scene before..." He said and looked at the man who came to the balcony first.
The man said: "My name is Tetsuo Dohashi. I am currently running an import and export grocery company. I used to be Mr. Imoto's boss and also the introducer of their husband and wife. Today I came here to meet him for work."
The Mumu Police Department looked at Mr. Terasawa and asked, "Then who are you?"
Mr. Terasawa said: "My name is Norio Terasawa, and I live on the fifth floor of this apartment building. I used to run a fishing tackle shop."
"Before? Don't you do it now?" Megure Police Department asked.
Norio Terasawa said angrily: "My store has been robbed by this guy, Ryusuke Imoto, and he succeeded by taking advantage of legal loopholes." Then he looked at Tetsuo Dohashi and Takako Imoto and said , "Ryusuke Jingmoto is not worthy of being a human being at all. In my opinion, the two of them must have had something similar to me happen to him. If you don't believe me, just ask."
The Mumu Police Department asked: "Is that so, please tell me the truth."
Tetsuo Dohashi said: "Although I am the introducer of the Imoto couple, I still want to raise this matter. Mr. Imoto and Mrs. Imoto are currently discussing divorce, and they are also arguing over the issue of alimony. Once Mr. Imoto dies Mrs. Imoto will get a considerable amount of inheritance."
"What are you talking about? Didn't your own company come here several times to borrow money from my husband because it couldn't turn around a while ago, but he refused all of them," Takako Jingmoto said angrily, "I think it is Because Long Jie didn't lend you any money, you killed him in a fit of anger."
"What are you talking about!" Tetsuo Dohashi said angrily.
"Okay, okay, please calm down first." Mumu Police Department said, and then asked the administrator, "Excuse me, is the only entrance and exit that can enter and exit this apartment?"
"Yes, that's right," said the administrator. ...
