Chapter 236 Prelude to the Maze

"Hey...just because I'm here, doesn't that mean I'm the prisoner?"

A blond young man got out of the car and looked at the two policemen with an unhappy expression.

"My name is Enomoto Hiroshi. I work part-time at a sushi restaurant in Sanchome. I am now a college student."

After a brief self-introduction, Officer Sato began the interrogation.

"Did you buy this car with your part-time job money?"

Enomoto Hiroshi shook his head: "No, I asked my parents to buy it for me, right?"

He continued to talk about the police's concerns: "I didn't have a shift today. I was scolded by my master last night, and I was in a very bad mood. I wanted to go for a ride in the mountains, but I was stopped by the police."

"Going for a ride in the mountains?" Officer Sato looked at him suspiciously.

"Uh... the scenery over there is nice, let's go take a look." Enomoto Hiroshi patted his car.

Officer Sato didn't ask any obvious questions and quickly turned his attention to the second person.

"Next! The car owner in the middle!"

Upon hearing this, the young detective team in Officer Sato's car immediately cheered up.

Even Conan was staring intently at the man getting out of the car.

After all, what Harumi Kawauchi just said was too concerning, and her determined attitude made them eager to verify whether it was true or false.

However, the man who was labeled a gangster by Akemi Miyano seemed to have encountered some problems when he got out of the car.

His car door was too close to Enomoto Hiroshi's car next to him, so the door only opened a small crack, and the edge of the door hit Enomoto Hiroshi's car with a "thud".

"Hey! What are you doing!"

Enomoto Yo suddenly became angry and stared at the man in the car.

"Tsk...you don't even know how to park?"

This man with squinting eyes and thick lips who looked honest and honest had no choice but to climb out of the passenger seat and apologized profusely:

"Yes, I'm sorry...I'm not very good at driving...but I am good at repairing cars..."

Officer Sato immediately asked: "So what is your occupation?"

"Ah, yes, I work in a car repair shop. My name is Fukuchi Naozu..."

He said with some embarrassment:

"The car repair shop is closed today, but my car is not in good condition, so I stayed in the car shop all day to repair the car..."

"But the report we received is that you were driving around in the street..." Officer Takagi pointed out the problem in the man's words.

"I just wanted to make sure it was really repaired, so I drove to the shopping street to test the car! Isn't this possible?!"

Fukuchi Naowa seemed to be getting excited.

"No, no, no..." Officer Takagi waved his hands repeatedly.

"It seems that this guy who is full of lies must be the murderer of the previous serial cases as Sister Qingmei said..."

In the car, Conan exhaled softly and said.

"Huh? Is there anything wrong with what this person said?" Yuantai shouted immediately. He felt that there seemed to be no problem with what this person said.

However, after being prompted, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi did not speak immediately like Genta, but began to think deeply.

"Wait... It seems that there are some contradictions..."

"I think so...but where exactly is it..."

Conan and Haibara Ai, who already understood the problem, looked at them with smiles.

"I know! That person said that his driving skills are not good, so he shouldn't go to the shopping street to test the car!"

"That's right, there are people and cars coming and going in Shopping Street, and the road conditions are very complicated. Even if you want to drive, you shouldn't drive there!"

Conan nodded happily, glad that they finally didn't have to reason out the logical contradiction even though they already knew the answer.

"Moreover, it was raining and the visibility was very poor. Since he was not sure whether the car was repaired, how could he dare to drive to that place to test the car?"

Haibara Ai also added: "Also, Mr. Fukuchi parked just right alongside the neighboring cars. People with poor skills often park a little crookedly, but he didn't, so it can be seen that his driving skills are very high."

"I see..." After hearing this, Yuantai finally understood completely, "Wait, then why did this person do this?"

"That should be to prevent the police from noticing the keyhole on that side of his car door." Miyano Akemi said, "After all, the key is stained with blood. If it is inserted into the keyhole like that, it will be easily investigated.

There was a reaction to luminol."

While several people were discussing, Officer Takagi and Officer Sato had also finished questioning the third car owner, Toshiaki Degawa, the owner of the key shop.

The two of them winked at each other. Officer Takagi casually walked to Officer Sato's car and looked into the car with a small gap open and asked:

"How's it going? Did you notice anything?"

"Of course. We have roughly determined who is the person we are looking for." Yuantai patted his chest.

"What?"

Officer Takagi was about to ask when he saw Conan approaching the window and whispered:

"Detective Takagi, I have something to ask of you..."

Conan and Officer Takagi whispered for a while, and Officer Takagi immediately ran away: "Okay, I understand."

Everyone in the car saw Officer Takagi first running to say something to the forensics department personnel, and then trotting to Officer Sato, and the two talked quietly.

"Hey...what are you two police officers doing?" Enomoto Hiroshi asked impatiently.

"Why does it have to be the three of us..."

"Why are we suspected of murder?"

The other two people also started to respond.

"Be patient. Forensic personnel will be here soon."

Officer Sato put his hands on his hips and began to explain the whole story to the three of them.

"In the serial murder case that occurred today, although the prisoner did not succeed and only stabbed a certain woman, he dropped Anfini's key when he was escaping... At that time, the prisoner's hands were full of the victim's blood, so the key

There must be traces of blood on it..."

Takagi continued on the sidelines: "We have witnesses who can testify to this. In other words, the suspect must be missing a key and the owner of the Anfini car has no alibi."

"And this can be tested in a very simple way." Officer Sato looked at the forensic personnel who were walking towards us with tools, "Just check the keyhole on the driver's door to see if there are any blood stains.

Already."

Forensics department personnel sprayed luminol reagent into the keyholes of three cars respectively. As long as there are traces of blood, a blue-purple fluorescence will appear.

But to their surprise, none of the three cars had any blood stains checked from the keyhole position.

"Huh? No response..."

"Wait...what's going on?" Officer Sato looked at Takagi, a little flustered.

Seeing that the test was completely ineffective, the three suspects started to make a fuss again, clamoring for the police to give them an explanation.

While everyone else's attention was focused on the quarrel between the two sides, a figure sneaked out of Officer Sato's car, asked a forensic officer to get a screwdriver, and began to pry off the keys to Fukuchi Naowa's car.

hole.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Conan acted as if he didn't hear Fukuchi Naowa's question and continued to pry.

Fukuchi Naowa was a little anxious. He strode forward and picked up this naughty kid: "Hey! Hey! Little brother!"

The moment Conan was picked up, the device around the keyhole base finally came loose, and was lifted open by Conan, revealing it to others.

"Wait a minute...the keyhole base is actually taped on!"

Officer Sato immediately stepped forward and inspected the keyhole base.

"I know... He knew that the police would probably investigate the keyhole, so he quickly brought up another one..."

"Wait! This is really the keyhole holder of this car! I accidentally broke it when I was repairing the car, but I didn't have a new hole holder on hand, so I temporarily fixed it to the car..."

Fukuchi Naowa is still making his final struggle.

"Okay...then let me see your car key. There will be a number engraved on the key, and if it matches the number on the keyhole seat next to the driver's seat, I will know if you are telling the truth..."

Officer Sato exposed his trick without mercy.

"Also, Mr. Fudi, when you start the car, where is the keyhole on the steering wheel to start the engine? In such a short time, you must not have time to replace the engine keyhole seat, right? Spray the luminol reagent

You’ll find out when you go up there, and the blood reaction will definitely be detected..."

"Kawauchi Harumi" walked over gracefully and added the final blow.

"You, you..."

Seeing that the situation was over, Fukuchi Naowa gritted his teeth and wanted to use his arms to strangle the neck of the blond woman who came to him, in an attempt to take a hostage and force the police to let him get into the car and fly away.

But as soon as he took a step forward, he saw a big fist getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision...

Then, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

"Oops...it seems like the attack was a bit heavy..." Miyano Akemi put away her hand in a sullen voice.

Even though she has done enough research on her physical strength with the help of her parents, she still often forgets to exert strength in her daily life.

"Well……"

Officer Takagi and Officer Sato were both a little confused as they watched the prisoner being knocked down easily.

Are Mr. Yuan’s friends also so fierce...

But they reacted quickly and called an ambulance while putting a collector's edition silver bracelet on Fukuchi Naowa.

The matter ended like this. Later, Officers Sato and Takagi specifically told the criminal's motive for committing the crime to several people in the Youth Detective Team.

It turned out that this man's life was so ordinary that he wanted to pursue excitement. In order to attract social attention and commotion, he created a series of attacks...

To put it simply, it means having enough time to eat.

But this does not change the facts of his crime in the slightest.

For this kind of social scum who takes other people's lives and safety for his own enjoyment, he is always a target no matter which country he is placed in.

After the incident was over, Takagi and Sato sent the children home except Haibara Ai.

As for Huiyuan Ai, she naturally followed her sister who was out shopping and returned to her home in Yuanhuaiyu.

"Sister... you..." Hui Yuan Ai held her sister's hand and walked on the road. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, quiet and peaceful.

Miyano Akemi naturally understood what her sister wanted to ask.

After all, she is different now. She is no longer the weak Miyano Akemi.

"Well... you can understand that there have been some changes in my sister, and the source of these changes is your teacher Yuan..."

Miyano Akemi briefly described her situation and conveyed a message - for a clearer answer, you should go to Mr. Source to explain it to you.

She parked the car next to Yuanhuaiyu Villa, and walked to the door of the villa with her sister carrying large and small bags.

Before Hui Yuan Ai could put down what he was carrying and take out the key, the door of the villa opened with a creak.

"You bought so much?" Yuan Huaiyu stood at the door, took the things from the hands of the two ladies and put them next to the entrance, "By the way, why did it take so long? Look at this, Mingmei, have you met Xiao Ai?"

"Yeah, something else happened."

While changing her shoes, Miyano Akemi briefly described the whole incident to Yuan Huaiyu.

"That's it... I asked you why you all came back so late..."

Yuan Huaiyu nodded and pointed behind him: "Dinner is ready, hurry up and eat it, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold!"

At the dinner table, Haihara Ai repeatedly wanted to ask something, but in the end he hesitated and concentrated on tasting the delicious food. From time to time, he added a few words to the chat between Yuan Huaiyu and Miyano Akemi.

"By the way! That guy from Osaka called me today and wanted to drag me and Kudo Mori to Kyoto... It seems like some case happened..."

Yuan Huaiyu looked at the two sisters and shrugged: "How about it? Will you go to Kyoto to have fun then?"

"Kyoto... Of course I want to go! I haven't been there for a long time... If possible, I would also like to visit Osaka..."

Miyano Akemi knew that she would definitely not be able to stay in Japan for long before the organization was finally eliminated, and would spend more time there with her parents.

After all, Yuan Huaiyu once told her to treat herself as "a person who has died in Japan."

Hui Yuan Ai picked up a piece of beef and said, "My sister and I are together."

"Then it's settled!" Yuan Huaiyu said with a smile.

Judging from the intelligence he recently learned, Hattori Heiji invited him and Conan to Kyoto probably to investigate several serial murders related to the "Hotaru Genji" criminal gang.

Thinking of this, Yuan Huaiyu sighed deeply in his heart...

well……

Osaka black chicken, Osaka black chicken, what do you want me to say...

Kuroba Kaito flirted with his wife since childhood, Kudo Shinichi protected his wife from childhood...

It's good for you, you haven't known your wife since you were a child...
