Conan's All-Member Force Enhancement Plan

When they arrived at the house rented by Edogawa Conan and others, after feeling the sufficient heating, everyone began to take off their coats.

Conan Edogawa enthusiastically helped Komatsu and the others sort out their clothes. When he touched a few of them, a smile appeared on Conan's lips.

Hattori Heiji had also been observing several people, and when he saw certain details, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of understanding.

Edogawa Conan held in his hand the very tiny red leaves that he had just taken out from Inoue and Eguchi's clothes, and quietly approached Hattori Heiji to show him.

Hattori Heiji nodded seriously and whispered, "Only that part of the ski resort has this tree. It seems they have been there."

Edogawa Conan also lowered his voice: "There's a wet spot on the back of that Eguchi's clothes."

Hattori Heiji stroked his chin and said, "Maybe the snow from the trees fell into my clothes, but where did the man in blue go?"

Conan Edogawa also frowned: "And we only saw one person in black clothes at the time, and there were leaves in the clothes of these two people. Did they both go there?"

"Conan! You and Brother Hattori go ask the others here, and we'll go into the room and talk to Sister Komatsu."

After hearing what Yoshida Ayumi said, Edogawa Conan nodded readily: "No problem."

Then, he and Hattori Heiji started questioning Ogura and the other three in the living room. Amuro Toru observed silently on the side. Vermouth also stayed in the living room, glancing at Amuro Toru from time to time.

Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko, and Toyama Kazuha were dragged to Komatsu by Yoshida Ayumi. Yoshida Ayumi also knew that she was still a child and sometimes she needed to borrow the power of her older friends.

Sure enough, when Komatsu saw Mao Lilan and others coming over, he was obviously relieved.

He didn't go to Dr. Agasa's place either. He had been driving all day and playing for half the afternoon. He was very tired, so he decided to take a rest.

Anyway, there are so many detectives here, so he is not needed to solve the case.

Yoshida Ayumi asked everyone to sit down in their rooms, and then patted Xiaosong's shoulder soothingly: "Sister Xiaosong, what do you want to tell us?"

Xiaosong hesitated and said, "After I knew that it was Tsuruta who spread rumors about Ishida, I secretly installed a monitoring program on Tsuruta's phone. I found that the day before Ishida fell from the building, the map app in Tsuruta's phone searched for an address, which was the unfinished building where Ishida fell."

The three children clapped their hands immediately: "So Tsuruta was there?"

Mao Lilan and others said: "I'm afraid this cannot be accepted as solid evidence by the police."

Xiaosong nodded and said, "I know that it was illegal evidence collection and it was not conclusive evidence, so I printed out Tsuruta's photo and searched around the unfinished building to see if I could find any eyewitnesses.

Hard work pays off. An old lady came forward and said that she seemed to have seen this man near the unfinished building at around four or five in the early morning of the day when Ishida fell from the building. I was very happy at that time and it took a lot of effort to convince the old lady to go to the police station to help testify.

But when we got to the police station, the police showed the grandma several photos of people with similar looks, but she got them all wrong.

The police told me that they had suspected Tsuruta of murder because of the rumors he spread, but they found out that Tsuruta had an alibi. He had been drinking in a bar all night and many people saw him.

The other people in the room looked at each other: "Alibi?"

Several teenagers who were used to seeing all kinds of strange cases speculated: "Could it be that a remote murder was carried out by trickery?"

"Are there any broken railings corroded by the potion? Are there any big holes in the floor?"

"Maybe it's a murder for hire?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his thoughts: "But why did Tsuruta want to kill Ishida? He has already released an apology video. Killing someone at this time..." It's not cost-effective, and it's easy to arouse suspicion.

Xiaosong clenched his fists and said, "Maybe it was because many people scolded him later, and he held a grudge and killed someone in a rage?

Anyway, anyway, Ishida definitely didn't commit suicide. She had no reason to go to that damn place! She hadn't been out for a long time at that time, and suddenly died in a place like that. Someone must have killed her!"

Seeing that Xiaosong was emotional, Mao Lilan and others hurried to comfort him: "It is indeed strange that Miss Ishida suddenly ran away. Otherwise, we should find a way to ask the police for the information from that year to see if there are other breakthroughs."

Xiaosong's eyes lit up: "Is it really possible?"

The daughter of the famous detective, Ran Mouri, the heiress of the Suzuki Group, Sonoko Suzuki, and the daughter of the superintendent, Kazuha Toyama, all nodded, "We will try our best!"

Komatsu was just angry at first, but now seeing that Mouri Ran and the others seemed to be taking the case very seriously, she suddenly felt that maybe she could really help Ishida restore the truth this time.

So Xiaosong began to answer every question of the Junior Detective Team seriously. As they were asking, Suzuki Sonoko seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, Xiaosong, do you have a photo of Tsuruta? We have been talking for so long, but we still don't know what he looks like."

Xiaosong nodded, took out his cell phone, and pulled up a photo to show everyone.

Several people came over, and Mao Lilan was very considerate and lowered her phone a little so that Yoshida Ayumi and the other two could watch it together.

Upon seeing this, everyone was stunned.

"what?"

"This person looks..."

“It looks so familiar!”

"what!"

"Isn't this Mr. Eguchi outside?"

"Ms. Komatsu, did you get the wrong photo?"

Xiaosong was stunned for a moment, then he took back his phone and looked at it, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "No, this is indeed Tsuruta, but Tsuruta and Eguchi look very similar, even their bodies are similar."

This sentence immediately perked up the battle-hardened Mao Lilan and the others: "Do they look alike? Then could it be that the one at the bar that day was actually Jiangkou?"

"The lighting in the bar is dim, so it's easy to confuse people, right?"

"Then doesn't Tsuruta have an alibi?!"

Xiaosong raised her head suddenly, her eyes sparkling with light, but then quickly faded. She shook her head slightly: "There were several classmates from our class who went with Tsuruta that day. People who are not familiar with them may make mistakes, but it is impossible to make mistakes with classmates who have been in the same class for three years."

Several people who originally thought they had found a breakthrough sighed in disappointment. It seemed that they still had to use their connections to find the archives from that time.

...Maybe we need to ask Conan/Heiji for help?

Conan Edogawa and Heiji Hattori, who were being worried about him, also saw Tsuruta's photo outside the room. They also found that Eguchi and Tsuruta looked very similar.

The moment they learned about this, Conan Edogawa and Heiji Hattori immediately looked at each other. They might know what happened to the missing victim!
