My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 651

This case aroused Kogoro Mori's desire to travel, but in the end he failed because the anniversary of his first date with Eri Kisaki was coming in a few days.

A lot of bloody things happened during this period, but they were all solved one by one with the help of Conan.

This matter naturally has nothing to do with Aoki Matsu, but the subsequent development is related to Aoki Matsu.

It was because of this incident that Mouri Ran misunderstood Kisaki Eri, so she specially invited Kisaki Eri to dinner, but Mouri Kogoro refused to attend.

So, taking advantage of the rare time when Ran Mouri was not at home, Kogoro Mouri prepared to take Conan to a very popular barbecue restaurant. Unexpectedly, while looking for the store, they encountered a car accident.

It wasn't Kogoro Mouri and Conan who had a car accident, but someone else who had a car accident.

Originally, Kogoro Mouri thought it was an accident, or that the person involved was just unlucky, but unexpectedly, a witness nearby said that the car hit the person on purpose.

Kogoro Mori naturally realized immediately that this was a murder!

He immediately called the police.

So Aoki Matsu, who had already returned home from get off work and was having dinner, was also called over to take charge of this case.

Aoki Matsu could only finish his dinner in a hurry and then rush to the scene.

"One of the witnesses wrote down the license plate number, but it turned out to be a stolen vehicle, and it hasn't been found yet." Maruta Ayumi, who arrived at the scene early, reported to Aoki Matsu.

Qing Musong nodded. He was not surprised at all that it was a stolen car. It was stupid to use his own car. Then he asked, "What is the victim's current condition?"

"Neither of them is in danger of life," Maruta Ayumi replied.

"That's good!" Qing Musong heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Is there any further news?"

Maruta Ayumi answered, "According to eyewitnesses, the criminal was wearing a hat and sunglasses, so his appearance could not be seen. Mr. Tatematsu Shinzaburo was coming home from get off work from Beika Station and met Mr. Kokonoki Kiyotaka who was taking a walk. When he greeted him, the car that had been waiting there suddenly started moving and hit the two of them."

Aoki Matsu frowned when he heard this, "Is that car heading towards Mr. Tatematsu or Mr. Kokonogi?"

Maruta Ayumi shook his head helplessly and said, "For now, we can't figure out who it is! Because the car rushed out the moment the two of them met."

Conan suddenly thought of something at this time, and quickly said: "Ah, then the criminals are both trying to hit each other!"

"That's unlikely!" Maruta Ayumi said, "If the criminal really wants to kill both of them, it would be better to kill them one by one instead of killing them both at the same time. Isn't the chance of success higher?"

"That's right!" Maori Kogoro on the side also agreed with Maruta Ayumi's words, "The criminal's target should be one of them."

According to common sense, this is undoubtedly the case.

But the problem is...it was Conan who said this!

Even though Aoki Matsu always complains about Conan from time to time and plays tricks on Conan occasionally, he actually agrees with Conan in his heart and goes to Conan School whenever he encounters a case that he cannot solve.

It is impossible for Qing Mu Song to ignore the words of the founder of the discipline of natural science.

[But if that's the case, why did the criminal choose such a strange time to rush over? ]

"If someone wants to kill them, it would be clearer to confirm with the person himself," suggested Kogoro Mori.

Qing Mu Song also thought so, but since they were already at the scene, Qing Mu Song still checked the scene first. When he found that there were no clues at the scene, he led people to the hospital. If the two woke up, it would be a good opportunity to take statements.

When Qing Musong led his people there, the door of the emergency room had just opened.

Maruta Ayumi stepped forward with a serious look and said, "Doctor, how are the two of them doing?"

"Mr. Ritsumatsu is fine, you will be able to talk to him soon. But Mr. Kokonoki is too seriously injured, so he can't be recovered for the time being," the doctor replied.

"Thank you." Maruta Ayumi replied.

Then the doctor and the nurse pushed the wheelbarrow where Kiyotaka Kokoroki was lying and left.

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu said, "Then talk to Mr. Lisong first."

Perhaps Conan's flash of inspiration was not wrong, and clues could also be found in Tatematsu Shinzaburo.

At this time, Detective Okumura, a man with an unfriendly face and a woman hurried over. When the man saw Maori Kogoro, he asked, "Is my uncle okay?"

Qing Musong looked at the two and asked, "Excuse me, who are you...?"

The tall and thin man walking behind explained, "This is Mr. Sakaki Kazuma, the nephew of Mr. Kokonogi, and this is his fiancée."

The woman introduced herself, "I am Chimi Ikura,"

Then he said with a panicked look: "When Mr. Yi Ma informed me, I was really scared."

"Thank you for your hard work. Although Mr. Kokonoki is not in danger of death, it may take some time for him to regain consciousness."

Ichikura Chimi was a little worried and scared when she heard this: "How could this happen to Mr. Kokonogi?"

"Really?" Sakaki Kazuma was also very angry when he heard it, and said, "Who on earth is that guy?"

At this time, Detective Okumura gave Aoki Matsu a look and made a gesture.

Qing Musong understood and followed him to the side.

Detective Okumura said in a low voice: "Inspector Aoki, as far as I know, Mr. Kokoroki is a very wealthy bourgeois, but he has no family. The only blood relationship he has is this nephew."

Aoki Matsubo understood what Detective Okumura meant, "What you mean is..." Sakaki Kazuma is suspected of killing for property.

"Well, if Mr. Kokonoki dies, all the property will belong to him." Detective Okumura said, "And it is said that he borrowed a lot of money from Mr. Kokonoki."

"So he is indeed a suspect." Aoki Matsu affirmed Detective Okumura's judgment.

but……

Miss Ichikura Tomomi might not be without suspicion either.

She is already engaged to Kazuma Sakaki, and if Kazuma Sakaki can inherit Kiyotaka Okonomi's property, then she can also enjoy it.

So, Aoki Matsu walked over and invited the two to an office that was temporarily requisitioned by the police.

"Excuse me, where were you at around 6:30 this evening, when Mr. Kokoroki was hit by a car?" Aoki Matsu asked Sakaki Kazuma and the other man.

Upon hearing this, Sakaki Kazuma immediately stood up from his chair and said, "Are you doubting me?"

"How could this be!" Ichikura Tomomi also had a surprised expression.

At this time, Maruta Ayumi hurried forward and laughed, "Okay, okay, don't be so excited."

"Tsk!" Sakaki Kazuma said angrily, "The person the criminal wants to kill must be another man!"

Ichikura Tomomi also echoed, "Mr. Kokonogi was just affected for no reason!"

Aoki Matsu looked at the two of them unmoved and said, "From the police's perspective, we must confirm the alibis of the two victims' relatives and friends. After all, if Mr. Kokonoki is dead, Mr. Sakaki, you will indeed be able to obtain a large amount of Mr. Kokonoki's property. This is a fact, isn't it? Miss Ikura, please cooperate with us."

Sakaki Kazuma was still very angry after hearing this and clenched his right fist, but he did not vent his temper. He sat down again and said with an unhappy face: "I was living in my own place at that time."

"Eh?!" Tomomi Ichikura was stunned when she heard Kazuma Sakaki's answer.

Qing Mu Song naturally noticed this and immediately asked, "What's wrong with Miss Ikura?"

Ichikura Tomomi said hesitantly: "Ah! No, he originally told me that he was going to attend a farewell party for his seniors in the company today..." I didn't expect him to suddenly change his statement.

"Of course I was going to go! But then I felt unwell, so I left work early at noon and then slept in my room. I live alone, so if you want to find a witness, I don't have one." Sakaki Kazuma said with a sour face.

[In other words, there is no alibi! ]

Upon hearing this, Ichikura Tomomi frowned and supported her chin with her right hand, thinking about something.

"So what about you, Miss Ikura?" Aoki Matsu looked at Ikura Tomomi and asked.

"Um, okay." Ichikura Chimi put down her hand and answered with a worried look on her face, "I went to the Ginza Touto Department Store around five o'clock to stroll around. When I thought it was about time to go back, I remember I came out around half past six."

"Was there anyone with you at that time?" Aoki Matsu asked.

Details are important.

"No!" Ikura Chimi replied, "I was alone at the time, and no one could prove it for me...ah!" At this point, Ikura Chimi suddenly remembered something, "But I remember that something went wrong at that time."

"Something's wrong?" Qing Musong raised his eyebrows.

"Hey!" Ichikura Chimi said, "At that time I sent an email to Kazuma."

"Oh, yeah, I remember now." Sakaki Kazuma also remembered and took out his phone to retrieve the text message. "Let me see, this is it."

As he said this, he handed the phone to Aoki Matsu.

Aoki Matsu was stunned when he saw it.

What do you mean! ?

The text message read: I am in Dongdu Department Store now, but I heard that a time bomb was found in the girls' bathroom on the fifth floor. It's so scary - Zhimei.

Upon hearing this, Maruta Ayumi immediately said, "I will go and verify this matter right away."

Aoki Matsu did not stop Maruta Ayumi's actions, but he had a big mark of suspicion towards Ikura Tomomi in his heart!

How would a normal person react when faced with a time bomb?

Of course you run as fast as you can, run as far as you can!

This is not the age of live video streaming. There aren’t so many curious people who would rather shoot videos before they die, hoping to become famous through videos.

In this situation, how can I have the leisure to send text messages?

You know, even for someone with a big heart like Conan, when he hears a bomb, his first reaction is to rush forward to check the bomb situation, but he will subconsciously look serious and shout to the people around him, asking them to get away as soon as possible.

And even if you want to talk to someone because you are scared, shouldn't you call?

After all, the other party may not see the text message immediately after it is sent, but they can usually hear the ringing of the phone and reply immediately to give comfort.

So Aoki Matsu felt that there was something wrong with Ichikura Chimi, and her reaction was very abnormal.

When Kogoro Mouri and Conan heard the word "time bomb", they hurried over.

In less than a minute, Maruta Ayumi verified the matter. "Inspector, Miss Ikura is right. Dangerous items were indeed found in the toilet around 6:30. At that time, everyone was in a state of panic in order to evacuate the customers and staff. But later it was discovered that it was just a deliberate prank. The so-called bomb was a fake bomb."

Upon hearing this, Ichikura Chimei immediately said, "So it was just a prank!"

Maruta Ayumi nodded and continued, "Also, the bomb was found not in the girls' restroom on the fifth floor, but in the boys' restroom on the sixth floor."

Ichikura Chimi was a little surprised when she heard this, "Huh?"

Maori Kogoro shook his head. "This kind of emergency situation often happens like this! The information passed on may be wrong."

Ichikura Chimi smiled awkwardly when she heard this and said, "Yeah."

But Aoki Matsu became even more suspicious of her.

The fake bomb was placed in the men's restroom, which would make many people subconsciously think that the person who did this was a man, because only men would go to the men's restroom.

In fact, women can also enter the men's restroom. As long as they sneak in when no one is around, they can do it completely unnoticed.

"And whether it is the fifth floor or the sixth floor, whether it is a real bomb or a fake bomb, it has nothing to do with this matter." Kogoro Mouri continued.

[Well, since Uncle Maori said that, then this matter must be related to this case! ]

Aoki Matsu rolled his eyes and instantly understood - this should be the criminal's alibi.

The time when Ichikura Tomomi sent the text message was 6:40. Looking at this time, most people would think that she was at the scene, so it can be proved that she was in the Ginza Touto Department Store at that time.

After all, it would take at least an hour to get from the Ginza Touto Department Store to the crime scene in Beikacho even if you drove at full speed.

This way, her alibi was established.

But what if she herself was the one who planted the fake bomb?

Then she is not, she knows this 100% for sure.

Conan seemed to have thought of this as well. He looked at Ichikura Chimi and said, "This fake bomb incident just happened to be your alibi. Big sister, you are really lucky."

When Aoki Matsu heard Conan say this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

[Conan is speaking sarcastically, right? Of course! It seems that he also suspects Ichikura Chimi. After all, it's not such a coincidence! At least not for Conan.]

Ichikura Chimi heard this and said to Conan with a smile: "That's right!"

"But the suspicion on Mr. Sakaki has not been cleared. I heard that you borrowed a lot of money from Mr. Kokonoki." Aoki Matsu looked at the two of them and said.

But the key point was not Kazuma Sakaki, but Chimi Ikura.

Sakaki Kazuma was very angry when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, a patient with a cane came over and asked, "Excuse me, are you the police?"
