"Officer, is my wife okay? I received a notification from the police saying that my wife was involved in a car bombing."

It took a long time for Kazuo Sakihara to finally arrive.

"You must be Mr. Kazuo Sakihara. Don't worry, your wife is fine." Officer Megure comforted him.

Unfortunately, Kazuo Sakihara was not comforted at all. When he heard that his wife was fine, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Why, you seem disappointed that your wife is fine?" Chu Ming leaned against the door frame, looking at him suspiciously.

Sakihara Kazuo's eyebrows were knitted together. "How is that possible! I'm just happy for Xiaohui! It's so fortunate that there were no casualties in the explosion. It's so lucky, hahaha, haha."

"No, Mr. Sakihara, I regret to inform you that your wife's sister, Miss Kuanmei, was unfortunately killed in the explosion."

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes and informed him kindly.

"!!! What did you say! You said Kuanmei..."

Kazuo Sakihara's voice suddenly became louder. Seeing that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, he lowered his head and restrained himself for a moment, then straightened his bow tie to try to cover it up.

"How, how could it be...what's going on?"

"You are not in love with your wife's sister Kuanmei, so you tampered with the car and tried to kill Miss Xiaohui in the explosion. Oh, right? In this way, you can live with her sister~ Maybe you can even buy a huge insurance policy for your wife. Tsk tsk, you can get both money and people~"

Chu Ming clenched his right fist and hammered it on the palm of his left hand, looking like he saw through it all.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How could I possibly kill my own wife? And I've been working in the company all day today, and everyone in the office can testify for me!"

Kazuo Sakihara's face turned red with anger and he roared at Chu Ming.

Chu Ming continued to stimulate him: "So far, this sentence is the most fluent. How many times have you practiced it at home?"

"you--"

Officer Megure quickly separated the two of them, without mentioning Chu Ming's question: "Mr. Sakihara, you are still in the hospital, please keep your voice down. Miss Kanmei was helping your wife reverse the car when it exploded. By the way, do you have any impression of this person?"

Officer Megure unfolded a portrait. Sakihara Kazuo's eyes shrank suddenly, and then he tried his best to pretend to be calm: "No, I don't know him. I'm going to see my wife. Excuse me."

After saying that, he opened the door and entered the ward.

Inspector Megure watched him enter the ward: "This is really too suspicious..."

"Yes, even Inspector Megure could see that he was suspicious. It seems that he is the murderer. Then how did he complete his alibi——"

Chu Ming pinched his chin and thought hard, ignoring the resentful and aggrieved look of Inspector Megure.

Conan walked up to Officer Megure and tugged at him: "Officer Megure, have you checked the man in the portrait? Is there any information?"

"Not yet. The portrait was just finished and I brought it over to show Mr. Sakihara. When Takagi comes later, he will take it to investigate."

Speak of the devil, Takagi came running over and said, "Officer Megure, we have already investigated the scene. How is the portrait?"

Officer Megure handed him the portrait and said, "You came at the right time. Here is the portrait. Go investigate it——"

"Hey, this man - I've seen him in the case file that Officer Sato was in charge of."

"Quick, go to the Metropolitan Police Department and pull out that file!"

"Yes!"

——Metropolitan Police Department——

Inspector Megure pasted the man's photo on the whiteboard together with the portrait he had drawn.

"Yes, it's him." Officer Sato stood aside. "His name is Takahashi Hiromasa, and he works at a chemical company. His wife, Takahashi Sachiko, was stabbed on her way home from shopping at a convenience store and died of excessive blood loss. She bought a huge amount of insurance before her death, and Takahashi Hiromasa was heavily in debt. We also suspected that he might have killed his wife to defraud the insurance, but he had sufficient alibi on that day."

"Takahashi Hiromasa works at a chemical company and can make explosives. And these two cases have one thing in common, both wanted to kill their wives, and they both have alibis, so is there a possibility-"

"——They are exchanging their killing targets."

Chu Ming's voice was not loud, but it made the whole office silent.

"But why did Mr. Sakihara want to kill Miss Xiaohui..." Xiaolan was puzzled.

Maori Kogoro sighed: "This can be seen from the few words that Mr. Sakihara blurted out after learning of Miss Kanmei's death. He and Miss Kanmei must have had some unusual relationship before..."

Chu Ming nodded. Yes, the uncle has a keen sense of smell when it comes to catching cheating.

This is what it means to specialize in a profession.

However, there may be a reversal in this case.

Chu Ming carefully recalled the look in Xiaohui's eyes when she saw Maori Kogoro that day. It didn't seem like she was seeing her teacher after a long absence.

——It’s more like the panic of being caught doing something bad.

Could it be that she was taking advantage of the situation?

Not bad, this was a great counterattack, but it had nothing to do with him.

It’s better to go back early, take a shower and go to bed. I don’t know if Gin has sent someone to track Judy’s whereabouts. Maybe by following her, I can find Akai Shuichi.

When Shuichi Akai arrives in Japan, things will be in complete chaos, right?

Bourbon doesn't want to blow up the Metropolitan Police Department, but he will definitely be willing to accompany me to blow up the FBI~
