My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 664 Hey, sir, times have changed!

Odawara Tetsuji subconsciously looked at Aoki Matsu and blurted out: "How did you know?"

"If you didn't love Miss Akimoto but couldn't open your mouth, you wouldn't have to do this." Aoki Matsu said to Tetsuji Odawara.

"Mr. Odawara..." Yasuyo Akimoto looked at Tetsuji Odawara, not knowing what to say, his eyes flickering.

Aoki Songye looked at him and said, "A person who is not a policeman will not be recognized no matter what the reason is for pretending to be a policeman. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Tetsuji Odawara lowered his head.

"I can only say that you used the wrong method this time. This is not the way to pursue a girl." Aoki Matsu shook his head and then gave a look to Aihara Yoji beside him.

Aihara Yoji understood and stepped forward and said, "I am arresting you now on suspicion of forging an identity and illegally stealing other people's clothes. Come with me." As he said that, he pressed Odawara Tetsuji's shoulders and asked him to follow them to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Akimoto Yasuyo covered her mouth and watched the scene. When Odawara Tetsuji was really about to be taken away by the criminals, she couldn't help but shout, "Wait a minute..."

Upon hearing this, Tetsuji Odawara subconsciously turned around and looked at Yasuyo Akimoto.

Akimoto Yasuyo smiled gently at Odawara Tetsuji and said, "I will go to your restaurant to eat ramen again."

When Odawara Tetsuji heard this, his eyes widened instantly, and then he showed a happy smile to Akimoto Yasuyo and said, "Okay!"

"Brother, Mr. Odawara will be okay, right? The ramen he makes is quite delicious." Sayuri glanced at Akimoto Yasuyo, thought for a moment, then looked at Aoki Matsu and asked.

Qing Musong shook his head. "This is his first theft. The identity fraud he committed was not for the purpose of committing a crime. We will also consider his contribution in helping the police catch the burglar. So we won't do anything to him. Most likely we won't prosecute him, but we will definitely give him a lecture."

You will definitely not go to jail, but you will definitely receive ideological education.

"Then I feel relieved." Sayuri said with a smile, and then looked at Akimoto Yasuyo, "Right, Sister Akimoto."

Akimoto Yasuyo was stunned when she heard this, and then her face turned red. With her personality, she really couldn't do this in front of so many people...

After all, not everyone is Aoki Matsu, who is so thick-skinned that he can face other people's ridicule about him and Shinna Koharu without changing his expression.

The criminal was caught and the two cases were solved perfectly. After saying hello to Sayuri and the others, Aoki Matsu left in the police car.

As for Sayuri and the others, this is Beika Town, not far from the little ones' homes, so there is no need for Aoki Matsu to send them home.

Subsequent events proved that Aoki Matsu's judgment was correct. The Metropolitan Police Department did not prosecute Tetsuji Odawara, but only criticized him verbally and then let him go.

The thief who broke into the house was transferred to the Beika Police Station. Due to the amount of money stolen, it was not enough to hold the Metropolitan Police Department responsible.

After getting off work on time in the afternoon, Qingmu Song took the keys and went home.

As soon as he opened the door, Aoki Matsu knew that Shinna Xiang Houli had arrived. He walked into the living room and saw that it was true.

"Matsu-kun, you're back. I prepared Sukiyaki." Shinna Kaori was preparing food in the open kitchen.

Seeing this, Aoki Matsu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Kano, have you finished your new book?"

"Well, I'm done. Everything has been reviewed. The title of the book is "The Killer from the Underworld."" Shinname Kaori said while washing vegetables.

Seeing this, Qing Musong went over to help and asked, "When will it be on the market?"

"Four weeks later," Shinname Kaori replied, "The book cover has also been decided, and it should start printing today."

However, for a writer of Shinna Kaori's level, even if the new book reaches the printing stage, it still takes a certain amount of time.

Because it is impossible to print one copy for every copy sold, a certain amount of stock needs to be printed in advance.

"After four weeks, how many tens of thousands of copies will the first print run be?" Aoki Matsu asked curiously.

"30 copies," replied Shinna Kaori.

After hearing this, Qing Musong thought for a moment and said, "It seems a little too little."

After all, Shinna Kaori is not an ordinary writer. He remembered the one whose mystery novel was adapted into a movie in his previous life. That book, "The Devotion of Suspect X", sold 100 million copies as soon as it was released.

You have to know that in Japan in the last life, paper books were not doing well and detective novels were a niche.

The previous book, "Detective Samonji D Jusanban", had a first print run of 50 copies.

"It's quite a lot." Shinname Kaori smiled and replied, then her smile faded a little: "30 copies, this is a new book with a brand new story that I wrote independently. I was a little surprised that the publishing house could print so many copies first."

When Aoki Matsu saw the expression on Shinname Kaori's face, he knew that she was still feeling pressured about it.

After all, it requires real money to buy it, not just slogans.

"Don't worry, "The Killer from the Underworld" will definitely be a big hit," said Aoki Matsu.

As long as the characters of other people don't collapse, and Shinna Kaori's character doesn't collapse either, then her new book will definitely be a success.

"I hope so." Shinna Kaori said with a smile.

She was still very confident about her new book, otherwise she would not have not stopped the publishing house from printing 30 copies in the first run.

Seeing this, Aoki Matsu did not continue the topic, but changed the subject and invited Shinna Xiang Baoli to sit down and eat Sukiyaki.

They make Kanto style sukiyaki, which means they prepare the sauce in advance and just pour it in when the time comes, instead of the Kansai style, where the seasonings are added in turn after the beef is pan-fried and mixed in the pan.

Aoki Matsu is not sensitive to the Kanto or Kansai style of food. He mainly likes whichever is more convenient.

It is obviously more convenient and less likely to make mistakes if you prepare the sauce in advance.

As for food, Aoki Matsu thinks he can eat anything as long as it's not natto.

After finishing her new book, Shinname Kaori had a half-month holiday. One week before the new book is released, she will be busy again and start promoting it. If the new book sells well, she will have to hold a book signing event, which will make her even busier.

So Aoki Matsu took this opportunity to take Shinna Xiang Houli out for some fun and relax.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Conan was very considerate and went to Osaka to play with Hattori Heiji, causing trouble for the people of Osaka.

Of course this is Aoki Matsu's idea.

In fact, Conan went to investigate Hondou Eisuke's past.

It was because Aoki Matsu didn't secretly reveal the information to Conan and the Miyano sisters this time, so Conan and they need to find out the identity of Hondou Eisuke themselves.

Aoki Matsu is too lazy to care about Conan. He has his own plans for the winery - it is better to rely on Noah's Ark than on Conan.

I’m afraid neither the winery boss nor Vermouth had ever thought that the times would progress to this extent!

Hey, sir, times have changed!

Unfortunately, there are few neon cameras and base stations, and the BOSS only uses mailboxes, so Noah's Ark can only locate the BOSS in that area, but cannot locate which person the BOSS is.

As a result, Aoki Song is not able to take over all the wineries yet and has to wait.

We can only take action after the technology is improved and the Forest Company's satellite is launched into space so that we can specifically identify the BOSS.

After working hard for a while, Conan and Hattori Heiji returned to their daily lives.

Then the next day, Aoki Matsu received a call from the police, and the person who called the police was Conan.

The president of Kanemaru Corporation has died.

"What business does this company do?" Aoki Matsu looked at Maruta Ayumi and asked. He had no idea what the name was.

At this time, the first person to discover it, Ms. Imaoka Fumie, said: "As far as I know, it was a loan shark company, and he named it after himself. Although he is the president, he has no employees, only him."

When he heard the identity of this person, Qing Musong raised his eyebrows.

Wow, although it’s not right to say this, Aoki Matsu hasn’t encountered a case involving the president for a long time.

Maori Kogoro asked, "What about the name of the victim and his family?"

"The victim's name is 'Kanmaru Kenzo', he is 65 years old, single, and has no other family members." Aihara Yoji said while holding a small notebook: "According to the criminal identification department, the cause of death was a heavy blow to the head by a hard object. According to preliminary judgment, the murder weapon was one of the lucky cats placed over there."

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong subconsciously looked over there, and then saw a scene that made people feel a little weird - a wall was covered with lucky cat ornaments.

The key point is that the lucky cat placed on it is not the kind that is very cute. Instead, its face looks a bit indescribable weird.

Anyway, it's the kind that makes you feel creepy and uncomfortable if you look at it for too long.

"Come to think of it, there are quite a lot of them." Kogoro Mouri also complained as he looked at the wall full of lucky cat ornaments.

"We believe that the fragments scattered next to the body are the lucky cat fragments," continued Yoji Aihara.

"The murder weapon is a lucky cat!" said Kogoro Mouri, supporting his chin.

Aoki Matsu looked at Aihara Yoji and asked, "Estimated time of death?"

"Yes, a few hours ago, it should be between 11 am and 1 pm," replied Yoji Aihara.

It's this time period again.

There's nothing he can do about it because the murderer in the murder case that Aoki Matsu handled before also committed the murder at this time, which left a deep impression on him.

"The first discoverer was Ms. Fumie Imaoka, 65 years old, a part-time worker. According to her contract, she comes to clean every Saturday. Today, she came here at : p.m. as usual, and found the body," said Yoji Aihara.

Qing Musong nodded, then looked around, and said strangely, "The safe seems to have been tampered with, but the money inside doesn't seem to have been touched?"

He didn't check it, but just stood in front of the safe and could easily see the stack of money in the open safe.

"Yes, Inspector, there is nearly 100 million in cash in it, and it has not been taken away," replied Aihara Yoji.

"This is a bit strange." Qing Musong said as he squatted in front of the safe and took out the items inside one by one to check.

One of the notebooks was the victim's account book, and it said: "Ms. Imaoka, you owed the victim 30 yuan, right?"

Imaoka Fumie was stunned when she heard this, then nodded, "Yes."

"I know!" Maori Kogoro jumped out immediately after hearing this and pointed at Imaoka Fumie and said, "The first person to discover is the murderer. According to common sense, it is Ms. Imaoka."

"Ah!" Imaoka Fumie was stunned, so she didn't react and didn't refute immediately.

Kogoro Maori said proudly: "She owed the victim a debt of 30. The victim must have demanded payment severely, so she couldn't think of any other way out, so she resorted to violence. This kind of situation happens quite often." After saying this, he nodded to show that he was not wrong.

Although Aoki Matsu could see at a glance that at this moment Mori Kogoro was talking nonsense and had not found any evidence at all.

But his motive was still correct. Indeed, there are often cases where murderers kill people because of this motive, but it is usually blackmail.

Imaoka Fumie reacted at this time, and hurriedly walked up to Kogoro Mori and argued, "Wait a minute, Detective Mori, you are doubting me now! I did borrow money, yes, 30. Although he asked me to clean once a week to pay off the interest, which made me very angry, it was just because of this..."

Seeing Imaoka Fumie's excited tone, Aoki Matsu quickly stopped her and said, "Okay, okay, don't be so excited. We police won't arrest people just because of Detective Mori's words. We value evidence."

30 yen is just over 1 RMB. There is really no need to kill someone for such a small amount of money.

Of course, unless the person is forced into a desperate situation.

But looking at the situation of Imaoka Fumie, it is obvious that it is not the case.

At this time, Maruta Ayumi walked in and said, "Inspector, we found something on the desk in the president's office next door. This is a memo that most people use to record the victim's itinerary."

Qing Musong took it and looked down. "September 9, 3:12, Murai Chika, that is, the victim today, is scheduled to meet this person at noon."

"That." The owner of the coffee shop where Maori Kogoro drank coffee before the incident, and the one who was notified immediately after Imaoka Fumie found out the victim was dead, said Ishigami Yasushi, "I saw a young woman dressed fashionably in designer clothes. She entered the office around 12:30."

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong immediately asked: "Then when did she leave?"

Ishigami thought for a moment and replied, "At about 12:40, he left in a hurry."

Upon hearing this, Maruta Ayumi immediately said to Aoki Matsu, "Inspector, we found Kanemaru Kenzo at 1:35 pm. He should have been dead for more than an hour, which just happened to cover the time when Murai Chika came. Ten minutes is enough time to commit the crime. I think she is an important person involved in the case, and I have notified the police in the area to ask her to come over."

If the police look for someone carefully, there will be no way they won't find any clues.

Not everyone is an official member of the winery. Even if they are, some of them have obvious characteristics and will still leave traces.
