Chapter 319: Substitution of flowers and trees

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Although Conan lamented in his heart that he was late, it didn't matter that he was late, as long as Qin Zhibo hadn't solved the case yet.

"Uncle, uncle! Can you give us the key now? We want to go in and do social practice classes!"

Conan used his cuteness to the extreme, but this time, the apartment manager shook his head for the first time.

"No, kid"

"When Mr. Qin left, he told me not to allow anyone to enter the house until the police came to take away important evidence."

Important evidence!

Has Qin Zhibo found any important evidence?

Conan's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't expect Qin Zhibo to move so fast.

Takagi, who was standing aside, scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Why did Mr. Qin handle this case?"

Could it be that the police headquarters found something suspicious about this case and commissioned Mr. Qin for further investigation?

Takagi quickly turned on the phone, and just as he was about to make a call, he heard the voice of an acquaintance behind him.

"Takagi!"

Takagi looked back and saw Rensaburo Shiratori, with neatly combed hair, slowly getting out of the car.

"I knew it was you as soon as I saw your back, Takagi."

"Shiratori Police Department!"

Seeing his colleagues at this moment, Takagi felt a little panicked. After all, he came out to investigate the case without telling his superiors while escorting the prisoner.

Officer Shiratori saw the young detective team next to Takagi, and frowned when he saw Conan, "Takagi, the headquarters has solved the murder case of Muranishi Mami, what are you still doing here?"

"Solved?" Takagi asked in surprise.

"Yes." Shiratori nodded, "The real murderer is actually Mr. Higashida's friend, the first discoverer of the body, and Muranishi Mami's boyfriend - Mr. Kitagawa."

"He killed someone because Miss Muranishi kept pressuring him to marry him, and framed the blame on Mr. Higashida."

"Under Mr. Qin's reasoning, Beichuan has already confessed his crime. I came here to get a key piece of evidence in the apartment."

As Shiratori spoke, he showed his police manual to the apartment manager.

"I haven't asked you yet. The headquarters has been waiting for you and Officer Sato to bring Mr. Higashida over to clear up the misunderstanding. Why haven't you come yet?"

Under this situation, Takagi could only report to Shiratori exactly what happened when he came out to investigate the case.

Shiratori looked surprised, but then calmed down.

"Fortunately, the case was investigated quickly, otherwise the Aideto Museum of Art would have been demolished tomorrow."

The case was successfully solved, and Officer Megure also led people to find Officer Sato and Higashikata who were handcuffed at the Acupido Art Museum.

Officer Sato first went to the restroom next door to solve the problem of excessive bladder pressure, and then found Officer Takagi.

"I know everything about the case. Mr. Qin solved it, right?"

Takagi, who encountered "Waterloo" when handling a case alone for the first time, lowered his head and said "Hai".

Conan next to him was also in a very low mood.

When following Officer Shiratori into the apartment room to collect evidence, Conan completely understood the method of the case based on the layout of the room and Shiratori's spoilers about the real murderer.

The real culprit - Kitagawa took advantage of Mr. Higashida being drunk the day before and sent him to Miss Muranishi's apartment, and asked Mr. Higashikata to lock the door himself, turning the scene into a secret room.

Beichuan also arranged this room in advance.

After he killed Miss Muranishi, he arranged the room to be similar to Mr. Higashida's room, so that Mr. Higashida, who was drunk alone, thought he had returned to his own room and fell asleep peacefully.

As for the evidence, the real murderer Kitagawa accidentally pricked his finger when moving the cactus to the balcony, and blood stains still remained on the spikes.

And that cactus had just been given to Miss Muranishi by the tavern proprietress the day before. Kitagawa's blood should not have appeared on it under any circumstances.

The method of this case is very simple, and Conan is confident that he can solve the case in a very short time.

But unexpectedly, Qin Zhibo got there first.

However, Officer Shiratori also said that the headquarters did not ask Qin Zhibo to re-investigate the case.

So how did Qin Zhibo know about the case?

Conan held his chin and fell into thought.

Higashida departed from the Cupido Hotel and took a taxi straight to Narita Airport.

In the airport lobby, just as Dongtian was about to apply for his boarding pass, someone called his name.

Dongtian looked back and saw a man wearing a brown trench coat.

"May I ask who you are."

Qin Zhibo introduced himself: "My name is Qin Zhibo, and I am the detective who solved the case yesterday."

Dongtian suddenly realized, "It turns out to be Mr. Qin! Thank you for clearing my suspicion yesterday and allowing me to see my daughter today."

"Where, where." Qin Zhi blogged for a while and got to the point.

"Excuse me, are you going to Arkham in America?"

Dongtian nodded, "Yes, do you have any questions?"

"Well, I have an old friend in Arkham Asylum named Danvers. He should be over 90 years old this year."

"If it's convenient, I would like to ask you to help find out if my friend is still alive."

Dongtian was stunned for a moment, hesitated for two seconds and then agreed: "Yes, yes."

"Then please."

Qin Zhibo shook hands with Dongtian and said goodbye, watching Dongtian receive the boarding pass and disappear at the end of the security check channel.

Qin Zhibo’s abacus is like this——

Although the result of the spiritism is that Danvers is still alive, the spiritism may also be talking about other Danvers.

So Qin Zhibo planned to ask Dongtian to confirm whether Danvers was still alive, so as to avoid a wasted trip in the future.

Dongtian's figure disappeared at the boarding gate, and Qin Zhibo did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he stood in front of the railing in the airport hall, looking at the refreshing runway.

At the same time, Higashida, who was standing in the boarding aisle, stood in front of two men and handed one of the men his passport and ticket from his arms.

This man has light blond hair and a healthy wheat color.

Standing next to this man was a man wearing glasses, dressed as a civil servant, and looked very capable.

After handing the passport and ticket to the man with light blond hair, the man wearing glasses next to him raised his head, and the two men in suits standing behind stepped forward and handcuffed Mr. Higashida, who had already stretched out his hand and waited.

holding hands.

After covering the handcuffs with clothes, he took out a hood from his arms and prepared to put it on Dongtian's head.

Just as the black hood was about to cover Higashikata's head, Higashida took the time to say one last word.

"The detective who cleared me of suspicion yesterday was in the airport lobby. He asked me to inquire about a 90-year-old man named Danvers in Arkham Asylum."

"oh?"

The man with short light blond hair had an interested expression on his face.

"I see."
