My neighbor's name is Conan

Whether there will be more fun to watch with Jirokichi Suzuki and Kaito Kid in the future is still unknown.

However, Ginzo Nakamori did have a "quarrel" with Jirokichi Suzuki, which ended with Jirokichi Suzuki donating some money to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Just as Aoki Matsu said, this time Nakamori Ginzo really asked for the overtime pay back from Suzuki Jirokichi.

As for Conan, he didn't wake up until the Mori father and daughter left Suzuki Jiroki's villa, and then he woke up halfway.

When I woke up and asked the time, I thought to myself, "Oh no!" after getting the exact time.

After asking about Mao Lilan's current situation, I found out that the case had been solved.

The dog named "Lupin" has been rescued. Aoki Matsuya has seen through the modus operandi of this case and asked Nakamori Ginzo to ask Suzuki Jirokichi for overtime pay.

Not happy!

Conan pouted subconsciously. When he woke up, he missed everything.

Conan felt very sorry about this.

This was not the first time, or even the third time, that I had been attacked and fallen unconscious, and thus missed the event.

The principle of "three times the limit" is completely useless for Conan.

So when Aoki Matsu said that Conan is "a dog that can't change its eating habits", although the words are a bit harsh, there is absolutely no problem with it. This is the reason.

Conan finally realized that with Aoki Matsu around, he had no chance to perform, so the next day he went on a trip to Kamakura, Kanagawa with the Mori father and daughter.

He wants to get his revenge somewhere else!

Poor Yokomizo brothers, they have been "harmed" by Conan again.

But Conan was happy.

***

A few days later, the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Inspector, is Maruta having some bad luck?" Aoki Matsu said to Inspector Megure while holding a bottle of water after lunch.

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure looked at Aoki Matsu with some confusion.

Qing Musong continued, "When he was with me, he always performed very well in handling cases. But why is it that every time you assign him a case to handle independently, it is so complicated and difficult to solve?"

If he didn't know that Inspector Megure was a good guy and would not deliberately target Maruta Ayumi, Aoki Matsu might have thought that Inspector Megure did it on purpose and deliberately arranged for Maruta Ayumi to handle those difficult cases.

It's really not that Aoki Matsu is trying to clear Maruta Ayumi's name, but some cases are very difficult for Aoki Matsu himself to solve, and even if he uses scientific research, he can't solve the case in a short time.

Inspector Megure curled his lips when he heard this and said, "I just randomly picked the cases for him. He is indeed unlucky, but it is also because he is not capable enough. Otherwise, why can you solve the cases every time?"

Aoki Matsu shook his head and said, "Inspector, Maruta is already very capable. I really think he is a bit unlucky. I have also seen the case he is in charge of now. It is indeed very troublesome."

"Troublesome..." Inspector Megure paused and said, "Troublesome cases are also a training."

There are many cases that cannot be solved in the Metropolitan Police Department, so troublesome cases are also a kind of experience for newcomers, teaching them to learn to give up.

This is not to whitewash anyone. For example, in the famous random murder case involving poisoned cola, Aoki Matsu was helpless in dealing with the case, and even Ke Xue couldn't solve it.

After hearing what Inspector Megure said, Aoki Matsu felt relieved.

Even if the case that Maruta Ayumi is handling cannot be solved, it will not affect him.

After all, since they are the people he brought up, Aoki Matsu still cares about their "futures". Because when Aoki Matsu is promoted to a senior position in the future, people like Saito Kazuma, Maruta Ayumi, and Aihara Yoji, who he brought up, will naturally become his direct subordinates.

"Is that case difficult?" Inspector Megure thought for a moment and asked in a low voice.

"It's missing crucial evidence." Aoki Matsu nodded and said, "Although there is a suspect and he doesn't have an alibi, Maruta didn't find any evidence that he was the murderer. I've seen his investigative ideas and search scope, and he didn't miss anything."

This will also be the case if Aoki Matsu is in charge of this case.

That's why Aoki Matsu asked if Maruta Ayumi was having some bad luck.

The same situation happened to Maruta Ayumi the last time Inspector Megure assigned Maruta Ayumi to take charge of a case.

However, it was indeed Maruta Ayumi who neglected the garbage bag of the floor washing machine last time, but this time Maruta Ayumi obviously learned from his experience and did not miss any place at all, but still no clues or evidence were found.

The case happened half a month ago, when Mr. Kinugasa Ei, the owner of an antique art shop in Tsukimi-cho, was suspected to have been murdered.

After investigation, it was discovered that Kinugasa Ei had cheated an old man named "Kameo Ryozo" out of a large sum of money five years ago.

Money is the thing most likely to cause murder.

So Maruta Ayumi included Gamo Ryozo in the list of suspects.

However, Maruta Ayumi did not have any evidence to prove that Gamo Ryozo was the murderer.

There was no evidence, and Ryozo Gamo did not admit to murder. In addition, he was the general manager of a financial company and had a certain social status. Maruta Ayumi was so old that he could only let him go and continue the investigation, but there was no other clue.

Aoki Matsu also went to help check the scene, but didn't find any clues.

In this case, the Mori trio and those supporting characters in science have never appeared. Aoki Matsu believes that this is the original case of this world and science is of no use.

Under such circumstances, Maruta Ayumi was very discouraged and was ready to ask Inspector Megure for his opinion and then seal the case.

Because there are really no clues to be found, and no direction to investigate.

But no one could have imagined that the case would actually take a turn, but it was a turn that the police hated the most - Ryozo Gamo died!

At this moment, Inspector Megure immediately took the case seriously and asked Aoki Matsu to take over the case and be responsible for investigating the two cases.

At this time, Qing Musong naturally could not retreat, and immediately took people to the place where the body was found.

Still follow the old rules, go through the case handling process first.

As soon as he walked to the body, Aoki Matsu saw a small ball of paper. When he opened it, he found that it contained Kogoro Mori's phone number.

[Oh, so you were waiting for me here! ]

With a pout, Aoki Matsu instructed Aihara Yoji who was standing beside him, "Call Detective Mori and ask him to come over. Tell him that there is something urgent that needs to be discussed with him."

"Yes!" Aihara Yoji responded quickly.

After a while, the basic information of the deceased came out.

"The deceased's name is 'Ryozo Gamo', male, 70 years old, general manager of a financial company. The cause of death was hanging, and the time of death is estimated to be between 7 and 9 o'clock in the evening. And no signs of being moved after death were found on the body." Maruta Ayumi said seriously, holding a small notebook.

At this time, Aihara Yoji led the Maori trio over and said, "Inspector, I have brought Detective Maori here."

"Detective Mori, I'm sorry to have asked you to make a special trip." Aoki Matsu looked at the three people and said.

Maori Kogoro was a little confused and asked, "What's the matter? Inspector Aoki, what's the matter with you suddenly looking for me?"

Qing Musong nodded. "At the feet of the body, we found a crumpled piece of paper with your phone number written on it."

Maori Kogoro looked over and confirmed, "This is the number of my office." Then Maori Kogoro looked up at Aoki Matsu and asked, "Can I see the face of the deceased?"

"Yes, the deceased's name is Gamo Ryozo." Aoki Matsu said.

"Mr. Gamo!?" Maori Kogoro was shocked when he heard this, but he still decided to take a look in person. After clasping his hands together and praying to the corpse, Maori Kogoro lifted the black plastic sheet covering the corpse and took a closer look. "It is indeed Mr. Gamo!"

Hearing this, Mao Lilan subconsciously looked at Mao Li Kogoro and said sadly: "So what you said to Dad on the phone last night that you were desperate... were you serious?!"

"What, what's going on?" At this moment a middle-aged man wearing glasses suddenly ran out from the side, looked at the corpse covered with black cloth on the ground with an uncertain expression, but did not dare to step forward.

Maruta Ayumi looked at him for a few times, recognized him, and quickly introduced him to Aoki Matsu, "This is Mr. Kyosuke Arai, the nephew of Mr. Gamo, who is here to check the body."

"What's going on?" Aoki Matsu looked at Maori Kogoro and asked, "What about 'already hopeless'?"

Kogoro Mori told Ryozo Gamo that he had been asked to conduct an investigation.

It turns out that when the police asked Gamo Ryozo for his alibi, he said he was sleeping at home. But in fact, he was wandering around Akebono-cho, but he was worried that he would be listed as the number one suspect by the police, so he lied. But later, he was afraid that this would be exposed, and he couldn't produce an alibi, so he went to Kogoro Mori to entrust him to investigate his alibi.

"I see, that's the reason!" Qing Musong raised his eyebrows, but in his heart he was sighing, "Maruta Ayumi is really unlucky to have encountered such a case."

Aihara Yoji looked at the rope tied to the tree and said, "This can be used to infer Mr. Gamo's actions last night. He was considered a suspect in the murder of antique art dealer Kinugasa Ei, and after talking to Detective Mori on the phone at 8 o'clock last night, he felt desperate because the investigation was not making any progress.

He drove here alone and committed suicide. It takes about an hour to drive here from Mr. Gamo's home. The time of suicide was around 9 pm, which coincides with the estimated time of death.

suicide!?

Qing Musong shook his head in his heart. He didn't believe this possibility at all.

However, Aihara Yoji's reasoning is not completely useless. The time of the action is so tight... Aoki Matsu is very suspicious. Was the call to Mori Kogoro made by Gamo Ryozo himself or by the murderer?

Death time from 7 to 9, phone call at 8.

So when the call was made, it was within the estimated time of death.

"But, if you are really innocent, there is no need to feel so desperate because you can't find a witness to prove your alibi." Kogoro Mouri asked in confusion.

The police officer from the Josai District Police Station who was in charge of this case first, Kumoto Kango, said at this time: "Because Mr. Gamo had a painful experience of being wrongfully arrested."

"Being wrongfully arrested!?" Qing Musong raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

The person who was wrongfully arrested died. This level of “wrongful arrest”…

It's not that Aoki Matsu had any malicious intent, but very few of the people who were killed in the world of science were completely wronged.

It is possible that he was not wrongly accused at all, but because he was let go, the real victim took up a knife to seek revenge five years later.

Hisamoto Kango looked a little unnatural when he heard this and said, "That happened five years ago. The murdered Mr. Kinugasa Ei was ambushed and beaten at night. Based on the testimony of eyewitnesses, the police from our Josai Police Station immediately arrested Mr. Gamo, but they found his alibi a few days later and released him."

"I remember now. I still remember my uncle once said that the police were arresting people indiscriminately, which made him scared." Kyosuke Arai said.

Upon hearing this, Aihara Yoji muttered, "So I don't want to go through the same thing again, feeling extremely uneasy and desperate..." Committed suicide?!

Die to prove your will!

After hearing what Aihara Yoji said, Hisamoto Kango's face became even more unnatural, and he said with a bit of shirking responsibility: "We conducted the search with a very cautious attitude, but because of Takeoka's continuous mistakes, we ended up..."

Maori Kogoro was suddenly startled at this time, "You mean Takeoka, the Takeoka Isao?"

"Yes." Kumoto Kango nodded and replied, "At that time, he resigned to show that he was responsible for the incident."

"Is it that Mr. Takeoka?" Maori Ran seemed to realize something and turned to Maori Kogoro for confirmation.

Conan and Aoki Matsu were both confused.

Relying on his current small size, Conan quickly asked, "Does he know anyone?"

"Yeah." Mao Lilan nodded. "I used to come to my dad's workplace occasionally. I was in the same class as my dad when I was in the police academy."

[Ah, why do I feel like this person is a suspect! ]

This was Aoki Matsu's first reaction after hearing this information.

Don’t ask why, the answer is science.

Do you understand how valuable Kogoro Maori’s friends and relatives are?

[If the case five years ago was really as I thought, Gamo Ryozo was not wronged at all, and it was indeed Gamo Ryozo who did it. It's hard to say what Takeoka Isao will do after spending five years to find out the truth. There are too many things that go from one extreme to another, such as the reversal of love and hate.]

At this time, Hisamoto Kango's cell phone rang. He quickly took it out and answered it. "Hello, it's me. Um... I got it. I'll go back immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Kumoto Kango looked at Aoki Matsu and said, "Inspector Aoki, our people have arrested the murderer suspected of killing Mr. Kinugasa Ei."

"What!?" Qing Musong was stunned when he heard this, and then subconsciously asked: "Who is it?"

Hisamoto Kango saluted Aoki Matsu and said, "I will report to you later." He didn't know the details at the moment. After saying that, Hisamoto Kango hurriedly left here and rushed back to the West City Office.

"Damn it, if he could have been arrested earlier, my uncle wouldn't have done such a stupid thing!" Kyosuke Arai said angrily as he looked at Hisamoto Kan'go's back.

Qing Musong frowned.

[Is it really such a coincidence? ]
