The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Kijima couldn't help but say,

"At the time, we felt something was wrong, and Yoko even wondered if he was a burglar."

"But I didn't expect..."

"Ugh--"

Having said that, Kimura sighed, as if he was feeling regret and remorse for having missed the opportunity to meet the murderer who killed Umeda.

After listening to what Kido Shima and the other two had said, Shiratori Jinsaburo and Sato Miwako looked at Hakuba Matsu.

Bai Masong decisively issued an order.

"Sato, take Mr. Kijima, Mr. Ishikawa, and Ms. Nakamura to the apartment to check Ms. Umeda's belongings to see if anything is missing."

"Shiratori, have someone investigate the surrounding area to see if they can find the suspicious person that Miss Nakamura mentioned."

"Yes!" x2

Sato Miwako and Shiratori Rensaburo nodded and responded.

Hakuba Song turned his attention to Conan and Maori Kogoro.

"Mr. Maori, that's about all for today. You can take Conan back to rest first."

"Ah? Well... that's fine too. If you have any questions, Officer Baiba, just call us."

Kogoro Mori was a little surprised, then immediately nodded.

Although Conan was a little reluctant, he decided to listen to Bai Masong and go back obediently.

Besides, there is a more serious matter than this case that has been weighing on Conan's mind -

Toru Amuro's question.

Who is Toru Amuro? If he is from the organization, what is he planning? Why is he pressing on step by step? If he is not from the organization, why does he have the aura of the organization? If he is an undercover like Akai Shuichi, then which side is he on?......

These questions are the doubts in Conan's mind.

Now, these doubts have been piling up for a long time, but have yet to be answered. Conan is annoyed, but he can do nothing about it and can only take it one step at a time.

..................................

after a while

Miwako Sato took the lead and walked out of Umeda's bedroom with Minoru Kijima, Jiro Ishikawa and Yoko Nakamura, and said to Hakuba Song,

"Officer Hakuba, we have counted Miss Umeda's belongings. After Mr. Kijima and Miss Nakamura's identification, we can basically confirm that Miss Umeda is missing a lot of valuables, such as jewelry."

She moved quickly, perhaps because of the help of Minoru Kimura and Yoko Nakamura, so the inventory didn't take much time and was finished quickly.

"Um,"

Bai Masong nodded at her.

"In that case, Mr. Kijima, Mr. Ishikawa, and Ms. Nakamura, please go out and wait for a while."

"Let's survey the scene once more. If we find anything new, we'll ask for your cooperation."

"OK,"

"no problem."

"Thank you for your hard work, officers."

......

The three of them responded and walked out of the room.

Bai Masong then waved and asked Sato Miwako to come over.

At this time, Shiratori Renzaburo was also in the apartment. Bai Masong asked him to send someone to search the surroundings instead of searching it himself, so he gave Bai Masong the task and returned to the apartment.

"How about it? Tell me what you think?"

Bai Ma Song asked indifferently to Shiratori Renzaburo and Sato Miwako.

"There's something wrong at the scene. Something's not right."

Shiratori Renzaburo spoke first and answered Bai Masong.

Bai Masong raised his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?"

"There's something wrong with the cutlery on the table,"

Shiratori Renzaburo pointed at the four neatly arranged tableware on the table and said to Bai Masong,

"If the deceased, Ms. Umeda, was killed by a burglar, then judging from where she died, she was setting the tableware or was killed while preparing dinner."

"But......"

Shiratori Renzaburo pointed at the door of the apartment from a distance.

From the position next to the dining table where they were sitting, they could see the door of the apartment.

Pointing at the door of the room, Shiratori Renzaburo said to Hakuba Matsu and Sato Miwako,

"Look, from this position, we can see the door."

"That is to say, if the robber came in through the door, Ms. Umeda would definitely see him."

"But Ms. Umeda didn't see it."

Shiratori Jinzaburo's voice deepened as he spoke the last sentence, showing how serious he was about the matter.

Sato Miwako also nodded.

She squatted down, looked carefully at Miss Umeda's body, and said,

"There were no signs of a struggle on the body,"

As she spoke, she stood up again and looked at Bai Masong and the other man.

"The tables, chairs and tableware nearby were neatly arranged, indicating there were no signs of a struggle."

"therefore......"

"Ms. Umeda did not die from a burglar."

Bai Masong made the final conclusion calmly.

"Or strictly speaking, she died at the hands of someone she knew."

"Ah."

Shiratori Renzaburo and Sato Miwako both nodded heavily.

Death at the hands of an acquaintance...

Coincidentally, there are three acquaintances of Ms. Umeda here.

but......

Shiratori Renzaburo frowned, while Sato Miwako pursed her lips.

The three acquaintances at the scene were together until they entered the house. Logically, they three had sufficient alibis.

Of course, absence cannot be overturned, but now it needs to be verified.

"Officer White Horse is also suspicious of them, right?"

Shiratori Renzaburo smiled at Bai Masong and said.

Bai Masong did not shy away and nodded.

If he hadn't suspected them, he wouldn't have thrown them out.

"I understand,"

Sato Miwako also smiled slightly.

"You asked us to stay here so that we can find evidence to overturn their alibi."

"Um,"

Bai Masong nodded lightly.

"Now that you know, let's look for it. Don't let go of any place."

Bai Masong said this while looking out the window.

He already knew what the so-called alibi was. This case was very simple and could be easily solved with the abilities of Shiratori Jinsaburo and Sato Miwako.
