The man's name is Masao Koda, and his sister Sanae Koda disappeared a month ago.

Sanae Koda works at Touto Securities and has been in charge of Beika Town's business since two years ago. However, on the afternoon of the 8th of last month, she said she was going to meet a client and has since disappeared.

The client was Yoshikazu Watanuki, but he claimed that he did not see Sanae Koda that day.

Yoshikazu Watanuki lost money in securities and had a dispute with Sanae Koda, so Masao Koda believed that he had a motive to kill Sanae Koda.

Huiyuan Ai walked to the side of Kitagawa Taki, took a look at the photo of Koda Sanae that Koda Masao had placed on the table, and asked: "How do you know he buried the body in the yard?"

Koda Masao said: "I have two reasons. First, Watanuki Giichi didn't have a driver's license and couldn't drive. If someone else had driven the goods, it would have been easy to find out. Second, around 8 a.m. on the evening of the th, a passing office worker who lived nearby heard the sound of a shovel digging a hole."

"Mr. Koda, you may have misunderstood. I am an exorcist, not a psychic. And I think you should consult the police or a detective. Detective Maori is a very good one."

Kitagawa Taki doesn't want to accept this commission, mainly because he has no interest in it, but Conan should be very interested.

Koda Masao suddenly became excited: "How could I not have contacted the police?! They said that the office worker was drunk that night and his words could not be used as evidence. They only conducted a routine questioning of Watanuki Yoshikazu!"

"Sorry! Sorry for disturbing you!" Koda Masao reacted and his expression froze. After apologizing, he solemnly put away his sister's photo, stood up, bowed, and then left.

Huiyuan Ai suddenly said: "I just saw that Watanuki Giichi."

"Oh?" Kitagawa Taki looked at Haibara Ai.

Ai Haibara told about her experience playing basketball just now.

"Ai, do you want me to take on this commission?" Kitagawa Taki felt that Haibara Ai must want him to take it, so she took the initiative to ask Koda Masao.

"up to you."

After saying that, Huibara Ai went straight upstairs.

"Amei, what do you think?" Kitagawa Taki embraced Miyano Akemi who was sitting next to him.

"Although I also hope that Taki-kun will help him, I support Taki-kun's decision." Miyano Akemi leaned on Kitagawa Taki's shoulder.

Kitagawa Taki smiled. Miyano Akemi was really honest with him!

"Is it because of his sister?"

"Well, he must love his sister very much, which is why he persisted for so long without the support of the police and investigated so much on his own. And I have a feeling that if he was desperate, he would definitely do something extreme."

Perhaps Akemi Miyano saw her former self in Masao Koda, the self who dared to shoot Gin for her sister.

"Then I'll help him check it out!"

Anyway, for Kitagawa Taki, investigating whether the body was in Watanuki Yoshikazu's yard was a trivial matter.

"Taki-kun is so nice!" Miyano Akemi kissed Kitagawa Taki on the cheek.

……

at the same time.

Masao Koda found Kogoro Mori and explained the situation, hoping that Kogoro Mori could go to his house to investigate when Yoshikazu Watanuki went to the hospital tomorrow, but he was also rejected.

Because invading someone else's home is illegal, Masao Koda had no evidence and was just guessing.

Moreover, it was impossible to investigate the location of the body and dig it out in the short time that Yoshikazu Watanuki left the house.

But the "Junior Detective Team" was full of energy and pulled Conan to run to Watanuki's house.

As a result, he was caught red-handed by Yoshikazu Watanuki.

The four thought they were going to be severely punished, but Watanuki Yoshikazu actually returned the ball to them and just warned them not to play at the construction site.

After leaving Watanuki's family.

Yuan Tai suggested: "Let's help that uncle dig up the body tomorrow!"

He quickly gained the support of Ayumi and Mitsuhiko.

Conan curled his lips and wanted to say, you kids can't help at all.

Besides, it would take a few people a short time to dig up such a big yard.

……

night.

Kitagawa Taki took advantage of darkness to sneak into Watanuki Yoshi's house and used his spiritual sense to carefully investigate, but in the end he found nothing and did not find any spiritual beings.

No matter how powerful Watanukiyoshi was, he couldn't bury the body less than ten meters.

Back to the office upstairs.

Miyano Akemi asked with concern: "Taki-kun, how are you?"

Beichuan Taki replied: "I searched the yard, including under his house, and found no body."

Haibara Ai turned her head to look at Kitagawa Taki, and only then did she realize that Kitagawa Taki had gone out to investigate this.

Kitagawa Taki blinked at Huihara Ai.

Haibara Ai immediately turned her head away.

Beichuan Long smiled. "So what if she's my sister-in-law? I'll still let you get her."

Miyano Akemi wondered, "Where would the body be? Or did Watanuki Yoshiichi not kill Mr. Koda's sister at all?"

Beichuan Taki shook his head, "I don't know."

"Should we tell Mr. Koda this news?" asked Akemi Miyano.

Masao Koda left a business card with his contact information.

"No need. He wouldn't believe it even if I told him."

Miyano Akemi's expression darkened, "Indeed..."

----

Maori Detective Agency.

Kogoro Mouri just came back from outside.

Xiaolan asked, "Dad, did you find anything when you went out this afternoon?"

It turned out that although Kogoro Mouri refused Masao Koda's request to find the body, he still went to the police station and the Toudou Securities branch to conduct an investigation.

"The police said Watanuki Yoshiichi lost about 150 million yen, and there was no need to kill for such a small amount of money. Instead, it was Koda Masao who kept pursuing Watanuki Yoshiichi and caused trouble for his life."

Kogoro Mouri loosened his tie and collapsed on the sofa.

"I didn't get any useful information from Koda Sanae's company. I only know that she got some cosmos seeds from a colleague that day."

"In my opinion, Mr. Koda must have misunderstood."

Conan looked thoughtful. It was true that 150 million yen was not a lot of money, and it was unlikely that someone would kill for that money, but it could not be completely ruled out.

……

The next day.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The TV reported a vicious armed robbery of a jewelry store that took place an hour ago.

The criminal was captured by the surveillance camera, and it turned out to be Masao Koda, holding a pistol and without any disguise.

"Ah? Why did Mr. Koda want to rob the jewelry store? Could it be that he wanted to..." Miyano Akemi thought of a possibility.

"He buried the gem in Watanuki Giichi's yard. He wanted to use the police's power to help him dig up the body." Huiyuan Ai said, "Very smart."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

When Kitagawa Taki and the other two arrived, Koda Masao was digging a hole in the yard to bury the gems.

Conan and his three companions stood outside the wall, carrying a large shovel.

Conan wanted to stop Masao Koda, but gave up after seeing his strange behavior.

The three little ones saw Kitagawa Taki and others coming over and greeted them one after another.

Seeing Conan lost in thought, Kitagawa Taki stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Little Detective, do you have any clues?"

Conan was startled, and when he found out it was Kitagawa Taki, he said with a wry smile:

"Brother Beichuan, why are you here too?"

Kitagawa Taki explained: "Mr. Koda came to me."

At this time, Masao Koda inside had already buried the gems and called the police.

Not long after, Inspector Megure arrived with his team.

Inspector Megure saw Kitagawa Taki and nodded in greeting.

Kitagawa Taki responded with a smile.

"Officer, I am the criminal who robbed the jewelry store, but I have buried the jewels all over the yard, and I don't even know which holes contain the jewels."

When Masao Koda saw the police coming, he took the initiative to confess everything and handed over the fake gun he used for robbery.

Inspector Megure was speechless looking at the holes all over the yard. It was the first time he had seen such a criminal, but he had no choice but to contact the owner of the house, Yoshikazu Watanuki.

After explaining things to Yoshikazu Watanuki, Inspector Megure dispatched manpower and tools from the headquarters and began digging the entire yard.

At first, Watanuki Yoshi looked very unhappy but helpless, and watched coldly from the side.

But as the police dug deeper, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Little did he know that his fearless look was seen by several people who were watching him.

"Come with me." Haibara Ai pulled Kitagawa Taki's clothes and said in a low voice.
