Conan: Tennis Boys' Scripted Murder

Chapter 101 Strange People

Everyone also knew the reason why Hiroshi Ukita wanted to kill Kogoro Mori.

The reason he stole things was that he had no skills to make a living, so he could only rely on stealing to support his life. By chance, he met his girlfriend.

His life has changed dramatically since then. He has learned many skills such as making cocktails and cooking. He has already imagined his wonderful married life with his girlfriend.

However, reality slapped him hard in the face. He had no money, and the money he had stolen before had long been spent.

In order to live the life of his dreams, he returned to his old job - being a thief.

In fact, the Maori Detective Agency was the last one he selected. He told himself that as long as he completed this deal, he would retire and live an ordinary life with his girlfriend.

But unexpectedly, he was caught on the spot by Kogoro Mori, and his girlfriend knew his true identity. They didn't even see each other for the last time, and she disappeared from his world.

After he was released from prison, he saw Kogoro Mori's now glamorous appearance on TV and blamed him for everything that had happened to him.

She first stayed out of the spotlight and worked for three or four months. After earning her first money, she went to a medical beauty clinic for plastic surgery. She then found ways to open a lemon bar near the Mori Detective Agency, used a year's free invitation ticket to attract Kogoro Mori, and designed this case.

In order to prevent Kogoro Mori from becoming suspicious, he even used illegal means to change his name and household registration.

If the biometrics were not impossible to change, he would have tampered with them.

After hearing Hiroshi Ukita's reasons, Inspector Megure yelled angrily: "You actually want to use the money you got by illegal means to marry your girlfriend. Your idea is wrong! You don't reflect on yourself, but blame Brother Mori. I think you will never have to come out again!"

On the other side, Kogoro Mouri, who was being directed around by Miyano Osamu and Conan, finally realized that there was no such person as Mr. Kimura. He was the victim, and the criminal was the owner of the lemon pub he used to patronize.

What frightened him even more was that he had been the one who had defeated the boss before and had sent him to jail personally. For all this time, he had never known the tavern owner's true intentions!

His mind, which had been confused by the cold wind, suddenly became clear. Kogoro Mori wanted to rush up and beat up Hiroshi Ukita, but was stopped by Miyano Osamu with his quick eyes and hands.

"Mr. Maori, don't worry, Hiroshi Ukita will receive the punishment he deserves."

It was not easy to persuade Kogoro Mori to leave, and the case that Miyano Osamu was responsible for was solved.

After making it to the weekend, Miyano Osamu could finally rest. He lay in bed at home until one o'clock in the afternoon when he was pulled out of bed by Yukimura Seiichi.

"Xiu, you've become more and more lazy since you came here."

"It's not that I'm lazy, but social life is too hard. It's more tiring than playing tennis all day."

Because it was a hard-earned weekend, Seiichi Yukimura wanted to take him out no matter what and let him breathe some fresh air.

Miyano Osamu couldn't persuade him, so he had to go out with him.

Not long after they walked out of the door, they found that a certain door was crowded with people. They subconsciously walked forward to see what was going on.

As soon as I walked in, I found that the people inside were the kids from the Junior Detective League, and several colleagues from Miyano Osamu's Investigation Division.

"Teacher Yukimura, Officer Miyano, why are you here?"

Kirihara Akaya looked outside and found Yukimura Seiichi and Miyano Osamu standing outside the crowd.

As soon as he revealed the identities of the two people, the onlookers involuntarily made way for them.

"Jingshi and I just happened to be passing by, and when we saw something was going on here, we came over to take a look."

Miwako Sato explained the current situation to Osamu Miyano, "Ah, a murder case has occurred here, and Conan and the others just happened to see a person who is suspected to be the murderer."

Originally, Miyano Osamu planned to say hello to Sato Miwako and the others and leave. After all, the person leading the team this time was Inspector General, who was experienced and would surely solve the case quickly.

However, Kirihara Akaya finally got to see his senior whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and he was unwilling to let him go, so he had to stay.

Fortunately, Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru have already gotten used to the presence of other people when solving cases. Besides, the kids from the Junior Detective League and Yukimura Seiichi are all good people, so they don't object.

The chief police officer trusted his junior, Miyano Osamu, very much, and also had a good impression of his friends, so he did not object to their joining midway.

Conan and the others continued to discuss the suspect.

"The deceased died between 7 and 7:30. We happened to meet a man on the road. He looked hurried and behaved abnormally."

Ayumi Yoshida and the others didn't quite understand why the older brother was behaving abnormally.

"Conan, maybe that big brother was running out of breath because he was trying to avoid the rain?"

Haibara Ai calmly told the story of what happened in the morning.

"We met the man after the rain stopped. It only rained for ten minutes before, and there was no sign of wetness on his body. How could he be so out of breath after just jogging for ten minutes?" That's too useless.

She didn't say the second half of her sentence, but everyone present understood what she meant.

"Yes, if he wasn't panting because of jogging, then it could be because he was too nervous after killing someone."

"I was too emotional after doing something bad."

Inspector Chang and Conan expressed this view almost at the same time, and Inspector Chang touched Conan's little head with an appreciative look on his face.

"Little boy, you are really smart."

Kirihara Akaya heard his friend being praised, as if he was being praised himself, and said happily: "Of course, Conan is the brains of our Junior Detective Team!"

"Yes, Conan is the smartest!"

"Conan is the best!"

The children praised him sincerely, which made the "rejuvenated" Kudo Shinichi a little shy.

At this time, the deceased's girlfriend, Yui Shimura, suddenly took out a stack of photos from her bag.

"Children, are there any men you have met in these photos?"

These photos also show people who had a grudge against the deceased.

Kirihara Akaya pointed at a certain person and said with certainty: "It's this person, Conan, you guys check it out too."

“That’s him.”*3

After confirmation by several children from the Junior Detective Team, they pointed to the same person, Yui Shimura's ex-boyfriend, Mr. Kato Akira.

"I know where he lives, Mr. Policeman. Can I go with you?"

"Okay... okay."

After consulting with the chief police officer, Takagi Shitsugu agreed to let Shimura Yui go with them.
