My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 573 You Lied

Then Mr. Maotian looked at Aoki Matsu with a somewhat unhappy attitude and said, "You have seen enough, right? It's true that he and I have known each other for a long time, but there is definitely nothing of his here."

As soon as Mr. Maotian finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

Ding Dong!

Mr. Maotian heard the doorbell ring and quickly said, "Sorry, I'll go open the door."

Aoki Matsu, Sato Miwako and Conan hurriedly followed.

Mr. Maotian opened the door, revealing a ten-centimeter-wide gap, and looked at the person outside. After seeing clearly, he said with some surprise: "It's you, what can I do for you?"

"No." Outside the door was a middle-aged woman wearing glasses, with an ordinary appearance and a timid look. "I heard that the police came to your place."

Aoki Song gave Sato Miwako a look, and Sato Miwako understood and stepped forward to ask with concern: "Did something happen?"

"Ah, Miss Officer, wasn't there a jewelry robbery just now? I just wondered if that incident had anything to do with the robbery." The middle-aged woman introduced herself, "I'm Isaka, who lives on the sixth floor."

Mrs. Isaka then continued what she wanted to say, "Three days ago, around 2 a.m., I was awakened by a strange sound, and I looked toward the window where the sound came from, and saw a thin, long shadow like a stick reflected on the curtain.

I immediately woke up my husband and went to the balcony to check, but there was nothing. My husband said I must have been sleepy, but I thought it would be better to tell you. "Mrs. Isaka said this with some embarrassment.

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong quickly said, "Thank you very much for your active cooperation with our investigation. Excuse me, is your home upstairs from this room?"

"That's right." Mrs. Isaka nodded and replied, "It's room 605 upstairs."

Qing Musong asked again: "When the robbery happened, did you also hear that strange sound?"

"Well..." Mrs. Isaka thought for a moment with her chin in her right hand, then said, "Because I was watching TV, if I hadn't heard the sound of the police car, I wouldn't have known anything had happened."

At this time, two more people came in from outside the door, looked at them and asked, "Well, can we continue moving? Because it looks like we may have to make two or three more trips to finish moving!" They were people from the moving company.

When Sato Miwako heard what they said, she was a little surprised, "It takes two or three trips to move it from that company?" She had never seen so many things before.

Mr. Maotian quickly explained, "Yes, the entire ninth floor is used by my former company. In addition to offices, there are warehouses, conference rooms, etc."

Miwako Sato thought for a moment and said, "I always feel like something is not right, but it seems to be suicide."

At this time, Maruta Ayumi ran over and shouted "Inspector!" Then he whispered in Aoki Matsu's ear, "I asked the manager of the jewelry store, and he told me that the brooch is their latest design. It was officially launched today, and they hadn't sold a single one before the robbery."

Aoki Matsu raised his eyebrows. This is the decisive evidence, even if there are no fingerprints.

After thinking for a while, Qing Musong asked quietly: "Have you counted the jewels in that bag?"

Maruta Ayumi nodded and replied in a low voice: "After counting, only the brooch is missing. The other jewels are all there."

Qing Musong nodded, then looked at the two moving company employees and said, "I want to ask you something. When did Mr. Mao Tian tell you that he was moving?"

"A week ago," said the moving company employee.

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at Mr. Nekoda and asked, "Why did it take so long?"

"I was wondering whether to use the old tables and chairs at the new company, so it took so long." Mr. Maotian replied with a cold sweat.

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong looked at the employee of the moving company and asked, "Excuse me, has Mr. Mao Tian changed the time in this week?"

"Yes, he canceled twice in a row, and finally scheduled it for today." The employee of the moving company replied, "We were originally scheduled to move the day before yesterday, but on the morning of the day before yesterday, he suddenly said that he couldn't do it that day.

Yesterday, too, we thought the weather was good and it was a good time to move. But Mr. Nekoda said before that he might cancel at any time, so he asked us to keep it for three days and paid extra for it. ”

Qing Musong continued to ask: "Can you tell me about your itinerary after arriving here today? Don't leave out anything."

"We drove here at the agreed time, and Mr. Nekoda said he wanted to explain how to move the luggage in order, so he asked everyone, including the driver, to run upstairs to listen. As a result, when we ran upstairs to find him, he asked us to wait at the door for a long time." said an employee of the moving company.

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong immediately asked: "Do you remember approximately when it happened?"

The employee of the moving company thought for a moment and said, “It seems that when someone robbed the jewelry store, we came down from upstairs and saw this officer coming over and told us not to move the truck.”

Mr. Maotian couldn't hold back any longer. He looked at Aoki Song with a timid look on his face and asked, "Officer, what do you mean by these questions?"

Qing Mu Song looked at Conan who was about to sneak away to the bedroom to check and said, "I have been thinking about a question. Why did Conan ask whether Mr. Nekoda had met us before? Conan, can you explain it?"

Conan stopped immediately after hearing that, and answered, facing Aoki Matsu and Mr. Nekoda, "Because Mr. Nekoda once said to Detective Takagi, 'Quickly call your colleagues to come and solve the problem here' when he arrived at the scene where the robber jumped from the building before Aoki and the others came."

Under the gazes of Conan and Takagi Wataru, Mr. Nekoda was stunned when he heard this, and then responded: "Yeah, yes."

"But why did you say that?" Conan looked at Mr. Nekoda and asked.

Mr. Maotian replied as a matter of course: "That's because I'm also in a hurry."

"You misunderstood!" Huiyuan Ai glanced at Mr. Nekoda, "Actually, what Conan wants to ask you is, what about a man who wears an ordinary T-shirt and looks so ordinary."

Takagi Shigeru: There is a connotation.

At this time, Huihara Ai stepped forward, walked to Conan's side, looked at Mr. Nekoda and asked: "Why, why do you know he is a criminal, and you yourself answered Conan before that you have never met Detective Takagi and the others before."

Mr. Maotian was shocked when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he forced a smile and explained, "Someone jumped off the building, right? Everyone knows that there will be police at the scene!"

"You're lying." Sayuri stood up and said, "When you came over earlier, you were clearly asking what the noise was about. We all heard that. You probably didn't even know that someone had fallen to their death."

Miwako Sato said thoughtfully, "That's true. It's a bit unreasonable to think that Takagi, whom I met for the first time, is a criminal when I don't know anything about the situation at the scene."

Mr. Nekoda was still quibbling at this time, "I thought of it because of the atmosphere at the scene. It was like I knew something big was going to happen and the police would come to the scene to deal with it." As he spoke, he pushed up his glasses.

But the gaze beneath the lenses was somewhat evasive.

Hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at Mr. Maotian and said, "But it takes time for the police to arrive at the scene. It was less than five minutes after the 'bang' sound. In such a short time, even the nearby police station would not have had time to send someone over.

And someone died. This matter is under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division. The Metropolitan Police Department is not far from here, and it is absolutely impossible to reach the scene in five minutes. Even if a normal person has a premonition that something big has happened, the first reaction is to call the police, rather than directly telling someone to ask your colleagues to come and deal with this matter quickly. "

Mr. Maotian broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and tried hard to think about it in his mind.

Without waiting for him to speak, Aoki Matsu said, "Mr. Maotian, I also want to ask you a question. It has been quite a while since Sayuri and the others came to your house. Moreover, Genta took your things without permission, and the children were running around looking around. Why don't you want to scold them, but focus on us criminals?"

"Ah!?" Mr. Maotian was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing this, Qing Musong said, “Normally, when a child comes to the house, the host will subconsciously pay attention to the child, especially an unfamiliar child, to prevent them from messing around and damaging the furnishings at home, but you didn’t.

I've always noticed that your attention is always on us. As soon as I move, your eyes immediately come over. Mr. Maotian, is there something hidden in the house that you can't let us criminals know about? "

Conan immediately said, "Brother Aoki, there is another suspicious point. When Mr. Nekoda was talking to Detective Takagi, we were standing aside, not with Detective Takagi. So we might just be the kids who happened to run over there to watch the fun.

In this situation, if an unfamiliar child followed a criminal into your home, a normal person would probably find it strange and ask a few questions, such as "Who are these kids?"

Mr. Maotian was very anxious when he heard this, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "That's because..."

Huiyuan Ai crossed her arms over her chest, looked at Mr. Nekota and said coldly: "The reason why you don't find it strange is because you know, right?"

"Huh?" Mr. Maotian was stunned.

"You know we are very important witnesses related to the jewelry store robbery! Right!" Haibara Ai said to Mr. Nekoda.

At this time, Takagi Shigeru suddenly reacted, "Knowing that I am a criminal and that these children are related to the jewelry robbery, it means..."

"Mr. Nekoda is the robber of the jewelry store." Aoki Matsu said first.

Miwako Sato nodded and said, "Yes, if that is the case, these two questions can be answered."

"Baka!" Mr. Maotian struggled, "This is too stupid, please think about it carefully, okay? The robber jumped from the top floor of the opposite building and fell on the roof of the moving company's truck, right?

If you say I am the robber, then I would like to ask you, where did I go after I jumped down? And what about Houcun who died on the roof of the truck? Besides, I am 51 years old. No matter what, I can't have the physical strength to shake off the criminals and escape to the top floor, hehe~"

Aoki Matsu also laughed when he heard this. "Mr. Nekota, this counts as confession! How did you know that the robber dumped Detective Takagi? Our police force has not made this detail public. The only people who know about this, besides Detective Takagi and the other parties involved, are me, Sato, and Maruta. May I ask how you knew this?"

"Ah?!" Mr. Maotian's laughter stopped abruptly and his face changed drastically when he heard this.

"As for what you said about not having the physical strength, you have practiced triathlon before. If you keep practicing, your physical strength will be stronger than that of ordinary people. This distance should not be a big deal for you," said Aoki Matsu.

"I think you waited for the people from the moving company to arrive, and then you forced them all up, including the driver. Then you pushed Mr. Houcun's car down to prevent them from noticing the vibration of the car. Then, you immediately put on your clothes and helmets and went to rob the jewelry store.

Your plan was to have someone chase you, so when you knew that Gao Mu was a criminal, you smiled subconsciously. You pretended to be chased by Gao Mu to the roof of the opposite building. You had already set up a trap on the roof. I think it was probably to use a strong rope to pass through the rooftop fence of the opposite building.

Then pull the rope up to the balcony here, and then use something like a zipline to put it on yourself before Takagi runs up. Once Takagi is in place, jump down the building immediately, and you can jump onto the balcony here.

I think before you went out to commit the crime, you put a mattress or quilt on the balcony to cushion the damage. Then you untied the zip line and recovered the rope. At the same time, you threw the safety helmet and the jewelry store downstairs to make a noise so that people would find the body. "

Mr. Maotian could no longer remain calm after hearing this, and shouted angrily: "Nonsense, how is this possible!"

"How can it be impossible? I have seen this method of committing crimes in several cases. It is not new at all." Aoki Song looked at Mr. Nekoda and said, "After Gao Mu ran away, you followed the moving company's truck. I think you should not have enough time to deal with the mattress cotton and other things used for cushioning.

There was no time to dispose of coats, gloves and other things. These things should be hidden in your room, so you paid special attention to our criminal actions, just in case we found these things. "
