Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth Fifth Sleep Date

February 15th, Sunday, after four o'clock in the afternoon, Mihua Town.

Mori drove Ran, Conan, Yamazaki, Mei Daiko and Sonoko back from the ski resort. Yuanzi got off at an intersection and took a taxi home. After Maoli sent the four of Lan to the downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency, he went to return the car.

Maori Detective Agency.

When Lan came back, he found a message on the answering machine. A friend of Maori invited him to Ginza for a drink, just tonight.

Not long after, Maori came back, learned the news, hurriedly changed the jacket he had worn on the ski trip, changed into a suit, and left.

Later, when Lan was sorting Maori's coat, she found that Maori's wallet, watch, mobile phone, cigarettes, lighters, etc. were all in the coat pockets.

"Really," Lan said worriedly, "Dad, he won't have no money to take a car."

"No, uncle, he has the change in his suit pocket last time he spent 10,000 yen to buy cigarettes." Conan laughed, "As long as you don't meet the police uncle, you should be able to come back."

"Uncle policeman?" Lan asked suspiciously.

Conan asked with a smile: "Sister Lan, what will happen if uncle can't leave after getting drunk?"

"The patrolman will call us when he sees him," Lan said, then smiled, "By the way, if you don't bring your ID card, you won't be able to come back until tomorrow."

"That's it." Conan laughed.

"Okay, let's ignore Dad." Lan said, "Since Dad went out to eat, let's order something to eat."

"How about the pizza, Sister Lan?" Conan asked.

"It's okay, I haven't eaten this for a while." Lan said. ...

In the evening, Mei Dai Restaurant.

The four members of Miyamoto's family, Lan, and Conan had just finished supper. Yamazaki's mobile phone rang, and it belonged to Maori. Yamazaki used to practice. ...

Not long after, at around eleven o'clock in the evening, an apartment in Mihuacho 2-chome.

When Yamazaki, Ran, and Conan arrived, Police Officer Takagi was reporting the preliminary findings, "The victim is the tenant here, Ms. Takenaka Kazumi, 29 years old. The cause of death was stabbed in the chest. The body was found here around 10:30 p.m. Mr. Mori and the victim’s landlord and roommate, Ms. Shimamura Sachiko, judging from the stiffness of the victim’s body, it is estimated that the time of death should be two hours ago, that is, around nine o’clock in the evening.” Then he said, "The administrator here said that the escape stairs of this apartment are very close to the balcony, and it is easy to climb in. There have been many incidents of robbers here. Judging from the messy drawers in the room, this may be a murder by robbers But there is a courier on the table, and the administrator said that the courier came at around 8:40 p.m. So, this may also be the murder of the courier by robbers. Now I have contacted the courier company and are looking for the courier. "

"Very good." Megure Police Department said, and then asked, "Speaking of which, Brother Maori, why are you here?"

Just as Mao Li was about to answer, he suddenly felt a chill in his back. He turned his head and glanced at Lan, who was staring at him with unfriendly eyes. Then he said to the Megure police department: "I was going to Ginza to drink with my friend today, but at around seven o'clock, the friend suddenly received an urgent call and left. I came back by tram and walked from Mihua Station to At the back door of Mihua Middle School, Fajiu Jin came up and sat for a while,

Then I met Miss Sachiko. "

Megure police department asked: "Maori, do you know Miss Sachiko?"

"Yes, police officer." Shimamura Sachiko said, "I have a small import and export company in Chaoyangding, and the Polo Cafe downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency is my client. That's where I met Maori Detective. .”

Megure police department asked: "Miss Sachiko, why did you meet Moori brother there?"

Sachiko Shimamura said: "I was working overtime alone in the company today, but I was a little worried about Kazumi who was lying in bed because of a cold, so I drove back at around 7:50 to check on her situation, and parked the car in the there."

"Oh, you've been here before," Megure Police Department asked, "So, Miss Sachiko, did you meet Miss Kazumi at that time?"

"Well, it can't be called a meeting." Shimamura Sachiko said, "Because Kazumi has been sleeping soundly, so I didn't call her, and went straight back to the car."

"Hey, hey," Conan asked, "Miss Sachiko, why did you park your car at the back door of Mihua Middle School? Doesn't this apartment have a parking lot?"

"Because I still want to go back to the company," said Sachiko Shimamura, "and the parking lot here is designed with two floors, so it is very difficult to get in and out."

Conan asked: "In this case, wouldn't it be better to park directly in front of the apartment?"

"No way, kid, I wasn't sure how long I would stay here." Shimamura Sachiko said with a smile, "And there is a bus passing in front of our apartment, which will block the way."

Megure police department asked: "Miss Sachiko, the courier package on the table has your name written on it. Is it a package for you? When did you receive this package?"

"It's mine, but I don't remember receiving this package," Sachiko Shimamura looked at it and said, "The signature looks like Kazumi's handwriting."

The Mumu Police Department asked: "So, when you came back to visit Miss Kazumi's condition, was it there?"

"This," Shimamura Sachiko said after thinking for a while, "I don't remember."

"Mihua Middle School is here," Megure Police Department asked, "So, Maori, what time did you meet Miss Sachiko?"

"At eight o'clock in the evening, I forgot to bring my watch when I went out. I heard the school bell at that time." Maori said, "Later, Miss Sachiko and I went to the beach in her car, and it was already eight in the evening when we got there. It was about half past one, and then we drank the beer and juice she bought from the vending machine. We stayed for about an hour and left there at about 9:40 in the evening. We stopped at her company on the way. About five minutes, after that, we went back to this apartment directly, I sent Ms. Sachiko back and found the door was unlocked, and then found the body of Ms. Takenaka Kazumi, it was about 10:20 in the evening, and then You have contacted the police officer."

"If you say that, Maori, you can indeed testify for Ms. Sachiko." Megure Police Department asked, "However, Ms. Sachiko, can you let us check your car."

"Of course." Sachiko Shimamura said, and handed over the car keys.

"The police department, the seaside with vending machines, will not be a secluded place." Yamazaki said, "It is not yet midnight, there must be tourists who have not returned, I think it is necessary to call to inform the nearby patrol that the police are still there." The people there stay for a while, and then drive Miss Sachiko's car over to have a look."

"What are you talking about," Molly cried, "you don't believe me?"

Yamazaki smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry Uncle, the smell of alcohol on your body is too strong, I can hardly believe that you are sober, if you fall asleep and come back here to commit crimes, and then go back to wake you up, in terms of time, It's entirely possible."

"That's right." Lan said angrily, "It's hard to believe the words of a drunk."

Maori said angrily, "You..."

"What about me, it's Dad, you are right." Lan interrupted Maori, staring at Maori fiercely and said, "Unless you say all the things you said in that hour or so, every word."

Conan raised his triangular eyes, Lan's momentum, alas!

"This..." Maori hesitated.

The Mumu police department asked: "Oh, is there any problem here, brother Maori?"

"Well," Maori said shyly, "I did fall asleep." Then he said, "When I was drinking beer, the feeling of being drunk came back again, and I fell asleep without knowing it. When I was woken up It's already nine thirty in the evening."

Megure Police Department sent a pair of triangular eyes, "So you can't be Miss Sachiko's witness?"

"Ah, this," Molly said, "by the way, I drank a can of beer and talked for a while."

Lan asked, "How much time?"

"This, I don't remember." Maori smiled wryly.

"Cough!" Megure Police Department said, "Miss Sachiko, please take us to the beach you just went to."

"No need." Shimamura Sachiko murmured, "Sure enough, I still can't hide it."

Megure police department asked: "Ms. Shimamura Sachiko, what do you mean by that, you killed Miss Takenaka Kazumi?"

"I want to ask a question, is it still a surrender now?" Shimamura Sachiko asked.

Megure Police Department said: "Yes, as long as you say it before the investigation, you will be surrendered."

"That's good," said Sachiko Shimamura, "Yes, I killed Takenaka Kazumi here."

The police department asked: "So, you used the time when Maori fell asleep to run back and forth?"

Sachiko Shimamura said, "No, I just adjusted the clock on the car."

"Adjust the clock? So the time has been adjusted." Megure Police Department said, and then asked Maori angrily, "What time did you meet Miss Sachiko?"

"Well, I clearly heard that the clock at Mihua Middle School struck eight." Mao Li sweated.

"It's Jiushi, it was already nine o'clock in the evening." Sachiko Shimamura said, "Sorry, Detective Mori."

"Nine o'clock in the evening?" Lan gritted his teeth, "So that's how it is. When I saw someone, I even got the time wrong."

"Hey, hey, Lan, don't think about it," Mao Li said quickly, "I just drank too much."

"Nine o'clock in the evening," Conan said, "So, uncle fell asleep soon? Then he only slept for about ten minutes before being woken up."

Shimamura Sachiko said: "Yes, Detective Mori drank half a can of wine in one breath, then fell asleep while talking, and I poured out the rest of the wine, making Detective Mori think we had been talking for a long time. "

"Pfft!" Lan couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Dad, is this how you date?"

"Nah, long-winded." Maori blushed.

Megure police department asked: "Cough! Ms. Sachiko, did you spend those ten minutes disposing of your crime tools?"

"Yes, I threw them into the sea." Shimamura Sachiko said, "Although I think I did it very secretly, but there are a lot of people there, I can't guarantee that I won't be seen, my luck is not very good recently, I don't want to bet on that."

"Luck?" Maori asked.

"I am in the import and export business. Last time, there was a batch of agricultural products that were fine, but the country's policy changed and they became contraband. I didn't know about this situation at the time, so I did this business. "Sachiko Shimamura said, "Kazumi can be regarded as my good friend, but when I told her this matter as a casual chat, she went to collect evidence, came to threaten me, and asked me to live for her, and then proceeded. Give her a salary. A small import and export company like mine relies entirely on bank credit and financing for its business. If this matter is exposed, the capital chain will be broken immediately, and the company will definitely go bankrupt, so I agreed with the United States. It was like this until this evening, when Hemei called me and told me that my courier had arrived, and I suddenly had the idea of ​​killing her and blaming her death on the courier who came to deliver the package."

Police Department Megure asked, "But, if you haven't met Maori, how are you going to prove your alibi?"

"If everything went well, your police wouldn't suspect me, and I don't need an alibi at all." Shimamura Sachiko said, "And even if you suspect me, there is nothing you can do about it, after all, in the absence of evidence Excuse me, working overtime is a very legitimate excuse."

Megure police department said: "That's right."

"But when I was leaving here, I suddenly ran into Detective Maori. Fortunately, Detective Maori drank too much alcohol, so I was not exposed on the spot. To be honest, when Mr. Maori called me, I thought everything was over. But after I knew that Mr. Maori misheard the time by an hour, I had the idea of ​​getting lucky and used the clock on the car to let the Maori detective be my alibi witness." Sachiko Shimamura said, "I didn't expect not only Detective Mori’s assistant, Mr. Yamazaki, saw the problem. Even Conan’s kid doubted my intention to park the car behind Mihua Middle School. I think if Detective Mori wakes up tomorrow, he will deliberate on what happened today, and then he will definitely find the problem. You police may be able to find what I threw, and then find traces of my use on it. Now that I think about it, I think I chose the wrong bag. I used a waterproof bag, and I forgot to open it before throwing it away, so I have to surrender now."

"So that's what it is." Megure Police Department said, and then said angrily to Maori, "So, thank you for your help."

"Where, where." Mao Li laughed dryly, "I really can't help you much."

Sachiko Shimamura saluted Mouri and said, "I'm sorry, Maori, for causing you trouble."

"It's nothing," Molly said.

Sachiko Shimamura smiled and said, "Then, when I come out, I'll drink with you again as an apology."

"How embarrassing this is." Maori laughed.

"Cough! Dad." Lan reminded.

"Heh, heh, Lan, you have to take care of your father." Sachiko Shimamura smiled.

Lan blushed in embarrassment.

Megure police department said: "Okay, Miss Sachiko, please come with us."

"Okay." Shimamura Sachiko said.

"Remember to come and take notes tomorrow." Megure Police Department said to Maori.

"I see, Mr. Police Department." Mao Li smiled. ...
