My neighbor's name is Conan

Although Conan agreed with Aoki Song's words, looking at the angry Ayumi at the side, Conan thought for a while and walked forward, looked at Aoki Song and said: "Brother Aoki, I just discovered that the old lady's shoes are also placed on the sofa. Um, why do you think her shoes are not on her feet?"

"Perhaps she was not wearing those shoes when she was killed," Aokisong said.

Ayumi Maruta heard this and immediately said: "Yes, so she was killed by the murderer in the room."

"So Miss Hosono is indeed suspected. Maruta, let's handle the case according to your previous idea. A group of people will go to the second-hand store in Mihua Town, and the other group will ask the residents here." Aoki Song said.

"Yes!" Maruda Ayumi responded.

The two were about to start when they saw a police officer walking over with a man wearing glasses.

The police officer went up to Aoki Song and said: "Police department, this gentleman, the gentleman just wanted to break in. He said he lives in Room 401."

Aoki Song raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, then looked at the man and asked, "I would like to ask you your surname?"

"My name is Tokunaga Kazuhiro." The man wearing glasses replied, and then asked a little uneasily: "Excuse me, what happened?"

"It's like this. Miss Hosono, who lives next door to you, found a body in the second-hand sofa she bought today."

"Eh?" Deyong and Hong were a little surprised when they heard this.

"So Mr. Tokunaga, did you stay in your room from 2 to 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon?" Aoki Song looked at Tokunaga and asked.

"Yes!" Tokunaga Kazuhiro explained: "Because I work the night shift."

"Then let me ask you again, did you hear any strange sounds coming from next door at that time?" Aoki Song asked: "Please think about it carefully."

Deyong and Hong couldn't help but widen their eyes a little when they heard this, and then said: "Now that I think about it, I did hear sounds that seemed to be arguing about something."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked excited.

"Did you really hear it?" Aoki Song confirmed again.

Tokunaga and Hiroshi nodded "Yes."

"What was the noise about?" Qingmu Song asked again: "Did you hear clearly?"

Tokunaga Kazuhiro looked embarrassed, "Sorry, I didn't hear the content clearly."

"That's right! Thank you for your help." Aoki Song said: "If I have time later, I would like to ask you other questions."

"Yes." Deyong and Hong responded, then turned and returned to their houses.

After Tokunaga and Hong entered the house, Ayumi couldn't help but ask: "Is what he just said true?"

"That's right, it's really hard to believe." Mitsuhiko agreed.

Conan also looked at Tokunaga Kazuhiro's door with a serious face.

At this time, Maruta Ayumi said to Aoki Song: "Police Department, it seems that Miss Hosono's statement that she went to a movie might just be a casual lie."

Aoki Song shook his head, "The last thing we criminal investigators can't do is to easily conclude something before we have real evidence. Just like Ayumi said, how do you know that the other party is not lying? Continue to investigate."

"Yes!" Maruda Ayumi responded.

Because the time was from 2 pm to 3 pm, everyone in the apartment went to work. Except for Tokunaga Kazuhiro, no other residents were found in the apartment at that time.

There are no new leads at the apartment.

But the police officers who went to the second-hand store in Mihua Town to inquire about the origin of the sofa found new clues.

It turns out that the sofa that Hosono Sanae bought was not collected by the second-hand store from its old owner. Instead, their employees saw the sofa while driving past a garbage dump and thought it would be a pity to throw it away, so they picked it up. return.

The garbage pile where employees picked up sofas is on Akebono Street 3.

What’s even more coincidental is that the address where Hosono Sanae’s house is located is Akebono-machi Street 3!

"Interesting!" Aoki Song chuckled after hearing the police officer's report.

"Now we have to start the investigation from the origin again." Maruta Ayumi said with a headache. This was much more difficult than before.

Aoki Song shook his head when he heard this, "No, I have roughly concluded who the murderer is?"

As soon as these words came out, Maruta Ayumi and several members of the Young Detective Team were shocked.

"Brother Aoki, who is the murderer?" Ayumi asked quickly: "It can't be Miss Hosono!"

Aoki Song nodded, "It really can't be her. If she did this, she wouldn't be able to sell the sofa back after seeing it in a second-hand furniture store. In other words, what Miss Hosono said is true. She didn't lie."

Then Aoki Song looked at everyone and said with a smile: "If Miss Hosono did not lie, then she was watching a movie in the cinema from 2 to 3 p.m. In this case, someone would have lied."

"Mr. Tokunaga!" Maruta Ayumi reacted immediately: "He said he heard a quarrel next door, but if Miss Hosono was not lying, there was no one in Miss Hosono's room at the time, so how could there be a quarrel.

In addition, whether only the body was thrown away, or the body and the sofa were thrown together, the murderer's home should not be too far away from here, so Tokunaga and Hiroshi would be suspected. "

Aoki Song nodded, "Yes! Go and investigate Tokunaga Kazuhiro's relatives and friends to see if they know the old lady. By the way, ask the residents of this building again, this time about Tokunaga Kazuhiro."

"Yes!" Maruda Ayumi responded.

Regarding the situation among relatives and friends, there was no result for a while.

However, a new clue soon emerged among the residents of the apartment - a middle-aged woman provided a clue.

It was said that Tokunaga Kazuhiro was drinking beer and laughing so horribly this morning in the small restaurant he ran, which scared her.

In addition, the other party also said that Tokunaga Kazuhiro is a person who usually doesn't like to laugh very much. He smiled like this today. He must have encountered something happy.

A person who usually doesn't like to laugh suddenly burst into laughter. This is a bit abnormal behavior.

On the other hand, Hosono Sanae received another piece of good news - there was a staff member in the cinema who remembered her.

Now Hosono Sanae is completely free of suspicion.

Aoki Song asked people to monitor Tokunaga and Hiroshi, and at the same time asked people to investigate the identity of the old woman.

After investigating from Tokunaga Kazuhiro's side, the identity of the old woman and her relationship with Tokunaga Kazuhiro were finally revealed the next day.

Tokunaga and Hiroshi borrowed a large amount of money from each other because they opened a tavern but the business was not good recently.

The relationship between creditors and borrowers is indeed prone to trouble.

Sure enough, when Aoki Song came to arrest Tokunaga Kazuhiro, he readily confessed.

"Mr. Tokunaga, after you killed the victim, you were just thinking about how to dispose of the body when you heard the announcement from the patrol car in Akebono Town, reminding residents that several cases of break-ins had occurred nearby.

You were afraid of being discovered by the intruder, so you stuffed the victim's body into the sofa that was originally in the trash. That's right, Mr. Tokunaga. "
