Model worker and his little darling

Sipping coffee, they listened to the two complaining about the dictatorial company president, Shiro Umetani.

Suddenly, the sound of a car came from outside the window. Everyone went to the window and saw that Masaki Hiramatsu was driving away.

Conan sensed something was wrong and rushed to the room where Shiro Umetani was. There he saw Shiro Umetani sitting in a massage chair developed by Masaki Hiramatsu, with a knife wound to his heart and another to his shoulder.

After Uncle Mori removed his helmet, he discovered that Shiro Umetani was still breathing and had a heartbeat, so he immediately told Ran to call the police and an ambulance. Then he tried to drive after Masaki Hirai, only to find that all the cars had their tires punctured.

Pingqing and Xiaolan were standing next to Meitani Shiro when they saw Uncle Mori walk in angrily.

At this moment, Shiro Umeya was covered in sweat and was about to meet his maker.

Kasahara Eigo shook the massage chair vigorously. "President, you must cheer up!"

Surprisingly, after Kasahara Eigo's sudden movement, the knife that was stuck in Umeya Shiro's heart fell to the ground without a trace of blood on it.

Uncle Mori quickly checked and found a cigarette case in Shiro Umetani's breast pocket; the fatal knife had been embedded in the cigarette case. It was this cigarette case that saved his life.

Not long after, news of the car accident came, and the group rushed to the scene, only to find that Officer Yokomizo had also arrived.

“Mr. Mori, you’re here too. I thought you had already returned to Tokyo.”

Uncle Maori scratched his head. "Our car broke down nearby, so we came over to borrow a phone. We never expected to run into this."

After learning what had just happened, Officer Yokomizo directed the junior officers to investigate and collect evidence.

Looking at the energetic Officer Yokomizo, Hirakiyo yawned. Come to think of it, last night was another nighttime call, and today is no exception.

That's terrible, I ran into death and had to work overtime all night.

"At the time of the accident, the area was shrouded in dense fog, and there was a steep descent and a sharp turn. In the heat of the moment, the driver lost control of the steering wheel and plunged into the valley. This should be considered an accident."

Suddenly, Officer Yokomizo changed the subject, "But he caused all the other vehicles to have flat tires. Since no one could catch up with him, there was no need for him to be in such a panic and rush to leave."

"If someone is that meticulous in their thinking, they probably wouldn't just pick up a knife and stab someone."

Upon hearing Uncle Mori's explanation, Inspector Yokomizo's eyes lit up, and he warmly took Uncle Mori's hand, saying, "As expected of Mr. Mori, you always get straight to the point."

"No, no, hahaha..."

Seeing the two of them start exchanging empty compliments, looking completely unreliable, Conan was disappointed. So he went to investigate the place where the car had fallen off the cliff, and Taira, who was bored, followed him.

There was a huge mirror here, and the car flew off after passing by it.

Seeing Heikichi and Conan peeking around at the scene of the car accident, a junior police officer quickly stopped them.

"It's dangerous here, you should leave immediately."

Conan pointed at the mirror and asked, "Uncle, how come there's a mirror like this?"

“This is a road reflector. You see, this intersection leads directly to that company’s recreation area, and there’s a rock blocking the road, making it difficult to see when entering or leaving. So I suggested that their company install a private road reflector.”

The young officer glanced at the mirror. "Strange, the mirror is misaligned. It was perfectly fine during the day." He then prepared to adjust the mirror.

Conan quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute, don't move the mirror yet. Also, Uncle Mori said you should investigate the brakes of the wrecked car."

Soon, the two learned from the junior officer that the car had no brake fluid and that the fuel line had been completely detached.

Upon seeing Conan and Hirai return, the group went back to the company. Umeya Shiro's stabbed shoulder had already been bandaged.

Looking at the cigarette box on the table that had saved the fatal blow, Uncle Mori remarked with emotion, "This really is a lucky cigarette box." Upon opening it, he discovered that all the cigarettes inside were ruined.

Conan asked thoughtfully, "Uncle, how many cigarettes do you smoke a day?"

"Let me think... I'd say around 40. Besides, I only smoke cigars; I don't smoke anything else."

Ping Qing's eyes widened. 40 cigars a day?!

Even temples aren't this popular with worshippers!

Could the thick fog outside be caused by the company president?!

Just as I was about to ask the president how he did it, I heard him say that he had recorded the entire process of Masaki Hiramatsu stabbing him, and then a junior police officer came over to report the discovery.

They found a briefcase in Masaki Hiramatsu's room on the second floor, containing a rope, a high-voltage electric gun, and a suicide note.

"I have lost confidence in continuing to run this company. Please forgive my selfish behavior. Shiro Umetani, President of Cool Dragon Health Equipment Co., Ltd."

Seeing the suicide note with his name on it, Shiro Umeya was furious and threw it on the table.

"How could that be? Whoever wrote this kind of thing, you can easily tell. How could I possibly commit suicide?"

Seeing this, Inspector Yokomizo realized that Masaki Hiramatsu had forged the suicide note with the intention of murdering the company president and then staging it as a suicide. He then decided to review the surveillance footage.

In the scene, Shiro Umetani is seen sitting in a massage chair designed by Masaki Hiramatsu.

"Hiramatsu told me to let him leave the company, otherwise the massage chair program without a password will automatically disappear after midnight tonight. If the contract is terminated, Hiramatsu may go to another company and make a more trendy massage chair."

"So, you've chosen Mr. Hiramatsu?"

Umeya Shiro nodded. "At first, Hiramatsu seemed to accept my idea, but I don't know why he suddenly got angry."

As he spoke, Masaki Hiramatsu in the scene picked up a knife from Shiro Umetani's collection on the wall and stabbed it into his shoulder.

"I had already fainted by then, and I don't know what happened after that."

However, at this moment, Masaki Hiramatsu's behavior in the scene was unusually abnormal. After walking to the door, he turned back again and stabbed Shiro Umetani in the heart before driving away.

After reading it, Inspector Yokomizo was incredulous. "If he had already prepared a murder plan that looked like suicide, why would he excitedly pick up the knife next to him?"

"Because he is an impatient person, he only does what he wants to do."

Upon hearing Kasahara Eigo's words, Nakano Haruo nodded in agreement.

After watching Shiro Umetani direct and act for a while, Taira Kiyoshi yawned and then walked to the front.

"Hirakiyoshi, is there a problem?"

Ping Qing pointed to Masaki Hiramatsu's smiling face on the screen and said, "I have a question. Look, Mr. Hiramatsu is smiling very happily here. If the president had rejected his request to terminate his contract, would he still be smiling? After all, what he wants most right now is to terminate his contract and leave the company."

Do you mean I lied?
