A group of people took Katori Akane's photo and went to inquire with someone near the place where the shoes were found, hoping to find out clues to the bride's disappearance and whereabouts.
After walking around in a circle, a waitress finally remembered something: "I seem to have an impression. I remember she hurried into the windmill cabin alone, and I didn't pay attention to it after that - it was about one o'clock in the afternoon."
With the exact time in hand, the next thing is clear.
"Alibis for kidnapping Miss Katori?" Grandma Oga chuckled, "Okay, since the detective wants to play this little game, let's cooperate a little bit - during that time, I have been doing the accounting in my room.
"
Dahe's father also cooperated: "My wife and I are also at my mother's place."
The three eldest people spoke, and the others had no choice but to speak.
Sister Dahe: "I'm riding a horse at the racecourse."
Uncle Dahe said: "I'm drinking in the house." He celebrated his nephew's resignation in advance.
After Dahe's family members finished talking, there was only one person left.
Jiang Xia looked at the dark-skinned man: "What about you?"
Takahashi Junichi thought for a while: "I seem to be looking for someone at the Crystal Fantasy Theater - yes, that's it. I also took a few photos by the way. The hands on their flower bed clock are inlaid with glass, which is very beautiful."
"
As he spoke, he took out his camera, found the photos he took and handed them to Jiang Xia as evidence.
The photo shows a beautiful flower bed, with two long hands in the middle arranged in the shape of a clock. It looks like an ordinary garden product, but in fact it can really be used to tell time. Judging from the time shown by the hands of the flower bed in the photo,
It was indeed after 1 o'clock at that time.
After asking all the questions, it seemed like there was nothing gained. Jiang Xia handed the black-skinned man's camera to Conan and asked him to print out the photos. Then everyone dispersed and went about their business.
Maya Hashimoto sneaked away quietly on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
Jiang Xia glanced at his watch, threw Wutian Dog over and watched him leave.
Curacao glanced at it, then looked at it again, but couldn't help but came over and asked in a low voice: "What did you send him to do?"
She had to make some plans for her own safety in advance.
Jiang Xia: "I don't know, maybe I went to relax."
Curacao: “…”
Just at this moment, Dahe's uncle passed by.
Jiang Xia caught someone and asked for information: "You seem to know something about Miss Katori's family?"
Uncle Dahe became interested when he heard this question: "You also suspect that the woman stole the ring?"
Jiang Xia: "I have to listen to the situation first before I can be sure."
Uncle Oga knew everything: "Anyway, you can ask elsewhere, so I'll tell you directly. Miss Katori's father was a well-known glassmaker in Nagasaki, but he passed away ten years ago. It seems that
He committed suicide - some people said he committed suicide because our bank forced him to repay the money, and they also said that we were ruthless and unjust... Huh, this is simply unreasonable."
Suzuki Sonoko was passing by and heard it, and was startled: "Suicide?"
Uncle Dahe nodded: "He hanged himself in the glass workshop that my mother bought. Ten years ago, that workshop was still owned by Katori's father. At that time, he used his own glass workshop as a mortgage and borrowed from ours.
The bank borrowed a large sum of money, but later he failed to pay back the money, so the workshop naturally became ours.
"It is natural to pay back debts, but some people actually maliciously speculated that my mother was urging him to repay the money in order to get the workshop.
"And when Katori couldn't afford the money to commit suicide, he actually chose a glass workshop that no longer belonged to him to hang himself... Fortunately, our main sales market is in Tokyo, and no one cares about the products produced by glass workshops that have killed others.
product, otherwise we would not only lose the loaned money, but even the recovered collateral would depreciate significantly - you tell me, how careless this family is, it’s true that the boy was so blinded by love that he only focused on
I want to marry his daughter."
Uncle Dahe provided a lot of information, and the more he talked, the more he talked, and he got more and more arrogant. He cursed and drank.
Just as Conan came back from his work, the hard-working primary school student found a few photos and handed them to Jiang Xia: "I printed the photos of Dahe's family together. Let's go to various places to confirm their alibi first——
We must first find the missing Miss Katori."
…
Unexpectedly, after asking around, it turned out that when Akane Katori was kidnapped, everyone in the Dahe family had alibi.
——Grandma Dahe and Dahe’s parents were staying together at the time. Uncle Dahe was chatting with a beautiful waiter he had just met while drinking. Sister Dahe had an outstanding temperament, and the service staff at the racecourse were very impressed with her. Everyone was absent.
Witnesses attesting.
"Is it possible... is it possible that it's true?" Suzuki Sonoko followed Jiang Xia and saw more strange cases. She whispered to the detective, "So, the flower language of the hydrangeas in the background of the photo is also very suspicious, 'change your mind when you see something strange'"
, could it be that he was very concerned about Miss Katori’s fiancé and accidentally went astray? "
Jiang Xia: "It's possible. But isn't there another person?"
Suzuki Sonoko: "Huh?"
Jiang Xia: "The glass craftsman we met on the Shinkansen."
Suzuki Sonoko: "But I remember that he went to the Crystal Fantasy Theater and took a picture of the clock in the flower bed at the door as evidence. He was the only one who had produced evidence before."
Mao Lilan didn't know when she came over. She had encountered a lot of cases recently. When she heard this, she couldn't help but whisper: "It's a bit suspicious to say that. It's obvious that everyone else in the Dahe family seems to be indifferent.
, he is a person who should be the least concerned but proves to himself that he works very hard.”
Conan stood on tiptoe: "..." Why do you have to stand so high and whisper, why can't you squat down and say it? High school students are amazing!
Jiang Xia raised her hand to hold down the bouncing primary school student: "Just go to the Crystal Dream Theater and have a look."
…
The group then went to the Crystal Dream Theater, which is where Junichi Takahashi said he was at that time.
As soon as they arrived, the two detectives saw the problem.
Even Suzuki Sonoko tilted her head. She stared at the flower bed clock at the door: "I always feel something is a little weird..."
Jiang Xia found the self-identification photo taken by Junichi Takahashi when he came here, and compared it with the real flower bed in front of him.
Mao Lilan was surprised and said: "Why are the colors of the flower beds different... No, it's because the angle is crooked!"
Curacao was following them silently. When she heard these words, she raised her head, glanced at the photo, and immediately understood the problem.
Although the clock on this flower bed will show the time, there is no specific scale on the edge of the flower bed.
When Junichi Takahashi took the photo, he did not stand directly in front, but deliberately stood a little crooked. The original time he took the photo was 2:05 noon, but due to such a subtle change, the time presented in the photo looked like 1:05
