My neighbor's name is Conan

Not long after, the police found the young woman named Chikako Murai, and after taking a simple statement, they sent her here.

You need to wait a while.

At this time, Maori Kogoro looked at the lucky cats on the wall and couldn't help but complain again: "Mr. Kanemaru's hobby is really rare. I didn't expect that he likes to collect lucky cats so much."

Imaoka Fumie looked at the lucky cats and shook her head, saying, "No, this is not his hobby. It's just his greed. He is crazy about money, so he collects these things."

"Ah!" Maori Kogoro was dumbfounded when he heard this. "I collected them because of greed."

Imaoka Fumie continued, "Just like what you can see, all the lucky cats here are with their right paw raised."

"Yes!" Kogoro Mori responded with sudden realization.

"There are lucky cats that raise their left paw, so why do they only collect lucky cats that raise their right paw? I also thought it was strange, so I asked him." Imaoka Fumie said, "He said that the lucky cat that raises the left paw attracts popularity, and the lucky cat that raises the right paw attracts wealth.

I heard him pray to these lucky cats, saying something like, 'Please bring money to them. It doesn't matter if no one comes, because it's a waste of money to invite people to tea.' Anyway, he only thinks about money and is a miser."

"Is that so?" Maori Kogoro thought with his chin in his hand. "It's the lucky cat with the right hand raised!"

"Is there such a saying?" Qing Musong asked curiously.

After thinking back, it seems that the lucky cat that I put in my shop does have its right paw raised.

After hearing this, Conan also discussed this matter with Haibara Ai in a low voice.

It seemed like everyone was hearing this for the first time.

"Huh..." Imaoka Fumie said with some emotion, "But when I think about not having to come here to clean anymore, I feel a little disappointed to be honest."

Aoki Matsu suddenly remembered something when he heard this, "Ms. Imaoka, have you cleaned this room today?"

Imaoka Fumie shook her head. "I opened the door and came in to clean the place, but I found Mr. Kanemaru's body just after I came in, so I didn't have time to clean it."

As the saying goes, "Every failure makes you wiser." In a previous case, Matsu Aoki and Ayumi Maruta had never thought about the vacuum cleaner, so they were unable to solve the case.

After this incident, Aoki Matsu immediately wrote down this item in his little notebook: Pay attention to the vacuum cleaner.

Vacuum cleaners are indeed something that is easily overlooked, because they are generally not placed in conspicuous places. Everyone will put them in a cabinet or an invisible corner after use.

People will subconsciously analyze what they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and smell with their noses, and thus ignore other things.

"Does Mr. Kanemaru have the habit of using a vacuum cleaner to clean the house himself?" Aoki Matsu asked again.

Because there was an obvious vacuum mark on the carpet in the office.

Imaoka Fumie shook her head and said, "Not at all. He said electricity is a waste of money, so he told me to use it only once a week."

"Is that so?" That's a bit strange.

That location is one that people can easily walk to.

Anyone walking past would surely destroy the neat traces left by the vacuum cleaner.

Thinking of this, Qing Musong hurriedly checked the vacuum cleaner in the cabinet, but found that the inside of the vacuum cleaner was very clean and there was no dust bag.

So Aoki Matsu looked at Imaoka Fumie and asked, "Did you throw away the dust bag last time?"

"No, I didn't throw it away! And it couldn't have been thrown away by Mr. Kanemaru who never cleans. It's really strange." Imaoka Fumie said with a puzzled look on her face when she saw the situation inside the vacuum cleaner.

[Did the murderer take away everything that was sucked in?] Qing Musong guessed, [What could it be? What is the purpose?]

Moreover, this is not where Kenzo Kanemaru's body is. Kenzo Kanemaru's body is lying next to the window of the room outside.

Because the body was there, the forensic detectives were conducting a full house inspection, so Aoki Matsu and others stayed in the house next door to avoid disturbing the scene.

But now it seems that the murderer has been in this room and has spilled something on the floor, which made him need a vacuum cleaner.

When Qing Musong thought of this, he decided to ask the forensic detective to check this room as well.

The criminal forensic investigators who now work with him on police missions are no longer as useless as before. At least they have learned to check under the sofa.

At this time, Aihara Yoji walked in and said, "Inspector, the vehicle escorting Murai Chika is already outside."

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong immediately brought Ishigami Bao to the window, opened the shutters, and asked, "Is it her?"

"Yes!" Ishigami Bao took a look and replied, "It must be that person."

Then Chikaka Murai was brought in by the police.

At first, Chikako Murai denied the guilt, but soon faced with the evidence presented by the police - the loan shark contract she signed and the sticky notes written by the victim.

Chika Murai pleaded guilty.

She likes to buy brand-name clothes, shoes, accessories, bags and watches. Because of her vanity, she borrowed a large sum of money from Mr. Kanemaru in order to collect these things.

Although she dropped out of college to work part-time to pay off her debts, she still couldn't pay it off. Finally today, Kenzo Kanamaru, facing her inability to pay back the money, wants to blame the debt on her parents and ask them to pay back the money.

Chika Murai begged him, but Kenzo Kanemaru was a money-minded man, so he naturally would not agree and insisted that her parents help her pay back the money.

So Chika Murai committed a crime of passion, picked up a large lucky cat on the shelf, and smashed it on Kenzo Kanemaru's head. Kenzo Kanemaru fell to the ground on the spot, and then she took the IOU and fled in a hurry.

Little did he know that Kenzo Kanamaru had also prepared another copy and placed it in his office, which was found by the police.

Aoki Matsu looked at Chika Murai and asked, "Ms. Murai, may I ask if you went to the next room at that time?"

"No, he received me here at that time." asked Chikaka Murai.

"Then did you use the vacuum cleaner?" Aoki Matsu asked again.

Murai Chika was a little confused when she heard this, "I'm here to pay back the money, why would I move the vacuum cleaner?"

"Is that so?" Qing Musong lowered his eyes after hearing this [It seems there is something wrong with this matter. ]

Aoki Matsu is not one of those controversial criminals in Japan. Since there is a problem, the case must be further investigated, unless it is a force majeure situation like the winery.

The FBI can't do anything to the winery, and Qingmu Song, with his weak arms and legs, doesn't dare to face the winery alone.

Of course he was certain that there was something wrong because he saw Conan searching something furtively in the room.

Therefore, Aoki Matsu handed the task of getting Chika Murai to identify the scene to Aihara Yoji, and he watched from the side.

Since it is about training subordinates, it is natural to give them room to perform.

At the identification scene, Murai Chika suddenly lost control of her emotions and knelt down and burst into tears, "Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu..."

After all, this is a crime of murder!

Now that my mind is clear, I am afraid.

On his part, Aoki Matsu immediately ordered the criminal investigation department to search the house.

This time the criminal forensics department was not useless. It didn't take long for them to find clues in the room inside.

The first thing that was very conspicuous was a cat's paw print made in blood on the window frame.

This shows that there was a cat at the scene at the time of the crime, and secondly, there was blood on the ground or on objects such as the sofa, which is why the cat's paws were stained with blood.

Secondly, a broken ceramic cat's paw was found at the bottom of the sofa. It looked a bit like the raised hand of the lucky cat, but judging by the size, it was the left hand, not the right hand.

This should not have been bought by Kenzo Kanemaru himself, but by someone else, because the lucky cats bought by Kenzo Kanemaru all had the right hand raised.

As a result, Aoki Matsu had a guess in his mind - someone came over with a lucky cat with its left hand raised, and was scolded by Kanemaru Kenzo. Then the other party picked up the lucky cat and smashed it on Kanemaru Kenzo's head in anger, and then...

This time should be shortly after Chikaka Murai left, because the fragments left by Chikaka Murai smashing Kanemaru Kenzo had not yet been cleaned up.

Therefore, Chika Murai did not actually kill Kenzo Kanemaru, at most she just knocked him unconscious. It was the next person who came to find Kenzo Kanemaru who killed him in anger and then wanted to put the blame on Chika Murai.

This is interesting!

You have to know that Ishigami Yasuo only said that he saw Murai Chikaka come in here, but didn't mention the other one.

Was it because Ishigami Yasushi was busy with customers in the store and didn't see it, or was it because - he was the murderer!

There is actually no scientific basis for Aoki Matsu's suspicion of Ishigami Yasushi, it is mainly because of science.

In daily cases, it is rare to see a theft case where the case has nothing to do with the victim. Even if it does happen, there will be a suspect.

In everyday cases in the world of science, many murderers are acquaintances, especially those who appear at the crime scene.

To be honest, before this, Aoki Matsu had never doubted Ishigami Yasushi.

But now, Ishigami Yasushi has also been listed as a suspect by Aoki Matsu.

Thinking of this, Qing Musong immediately went to check the place where he had found the sticky note.

Since Chika Murai came, Kenzo Kanemaru had already noted the time and person on a note, so there was no reason why the one who came later would not also note it.

However, it was obvious that this person had a certain awareness of cleaning up the scene and erasing his own traces, so naturally the note with the time and name of his arrival was gone.

but……

As we all know, sticky note paper is not thick. If you write on it with a little force, there will be pen marks on the sticky note paper below. You can see what is written on the sticky note paper above by just lightly smearing it with a pencil.

Aoki Matsu found the stack of sticky notes, picked up the pencil on the table and lightly smeared it. Soon, the words "9/3 1:00 Ishigami" appeared on the sticky note.

On the stone?

Ishigami!

【Sure enough, it’s him! 】

The evidence!

The handwriting on the note can only prove that Ishigami Yasushi has been here, but it cannot prove that he has killed anyone.

After thinking about it, Aoki Matsu called Maruta Ayumi and asked him to take people to search everywhere for the dust bag that was taken away. In addition, he asked the people from the forensic department to look for bloodstains and fingerprints in the house.

Because Aoki Matsu suddenly realized something. If Ishigami Yasushi was the murderer, the cat named "Cha Cha" had its right front leg injured, and there might be bloodstains from the cat at the scene, which could also be evidence to identify Ishigami Yasushi.

He started looking for it himself.

On the other side, Ishigami Yasushi, who had no idea that Aoki Matsu had set his sights on him, took the "Cha Cha" from Haibara Ai's hand with a gentle look.

"The bleeding should have stopped completely, thank you." Ishigami Bao said to Haibara Ai.

"But it's better to see a veterinarian." Conan said on the side.

Upon hearing this, Ishigami Bao agreed and said, "That's true!"

Conan looked at Ishigami Yasushi deeply.

Aoki Matsu also made a new discovery - after spraying luminol reagent on the TV and chairs, a fluorescent reaction was found.

It can be confirmed that this room inside is where Kenzo Kanamaru was actually killed.

At this point, Aoki Matsu immediately checked a mechanical flip clock next to him and found bloodstains on the number 12:59.

Apparently, when Ishigami Yasushi was cleaning the blood, he did not notice the mechanical flip clock, so he did not clean the blood on it.

In other words, the time when Kenzo Kanemaru was killed should be 12:59, and Chika Murai should have left by then.

After finding all the clues in the house, Maruta Ayumi also walked in with an evidence bag. "Inspector, we found this in the trash can behind the coffee shop."

Qing Musong took it and found that there was a dust bag inside, which contained some blood-stained lucky cat porcelain fragments.

At this time, Aoki Matsu heard Chikaka Murai's somewhat collapsed crying. After handing the evidence bag to Maruta Ayumi, Aoki Matsu walked out.

"Go and call everyone else over." Aoki Matsu ordered.

"Yes!"

After several people came over, Imaoka Fumie asked, "Officer, she has confessed, so can we leave now?"

"Ms. Imaoka, you can, but Mr. Ishigami can't," Aomatsu replied.

Ishigami Bao was stunned when he heard this. He tightened his grip on Cha Cha and looked at Aoki Song in surprise and asked, "Officer, why can't I do this? I have already cooperated with your investigation!"

"Because you are the murderer who killed Mr. Kanemaru!" Aoki Matsu doesn't have Conan's habit of beating around the bush, he always directly identifies the murderer.

"What!" everyone was shocked.

Only Conan's eyes flashed with a hint of "as expected".

He has already discovered that the murderer in this case is not Murai Chika, and he also has suspicions about Ishigami Yasushi. However, because the note was taken away by Aoki Matsu, he has not yet found evidence to confirm that Ishigami Yasushi is the murderer.

Upon hearing this, Ishigami Yasushi immediately defended himself loudly, "It wasn't me. I didn't come here today at all. How could I possibly have killed Mr. Kanemaru?"

"You have been here, and you came after Miss Murai left." Aoki Matsu looked at him calmly and said.

At this time, the originally dejected and resigned Murai Chika heard Aoki Matsu say that she was not the murderer, and hope was rekindled. After hearing what Aoki Matsu said, she immediately recalled something, "I remember, you are you, when I was leaving here in a hurry, you came over with something and this cat."
