Chapter 482 Conan: This time, I won!

Inside the living room of the Mochida family.

Mochida poured a glass of water for Conan and the others, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I happened to have all the drinks and milk at home, so I can only serve you with plain water..."

"You're welcome, it's just our sudden visit that caused you trouble."

Conan and the others apologized, and then Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta all took out their notebooks: "Mr. Mochida, can you tell us what happened that night?"

"Okay." Mochida smiled and nodded, then held his chin with one hand and recalled carefully, "...I remember that after get off work that night, my friends and I went to an izakaya to drink, and we didn't go home until very late. At that time, the nearby The road was under construction, and I looked at the time, it was about two o'clock..."

As Mochida spoke, Genta nodded "Yeah": "It is written in the newspaper that this section of the road here is undergoing road construction from 0:00 to 3:00 in the morning, so vehicles are not allowed to pass on the road..."

"Yes, that's right." Mochida nodded, "I took a taxi home, but when I got there there was construction work nearby, so I had to get out of the car and walk home..."

Mochida paused and continued: "...I remember that I turned into a small road near Mr. Watanuki's house. On the left side of the road was Watanuki's house, and on the right was the construction site under construction. At that time, I suddenly wanted to smoke.

When I was smoking and lighting a fire, I heard the sound of digging coming from my left. To my left is Mr. Watanuki's house, it's unmistakable..."

When Conan heard this, he couldn't help but said "ah" and said in surprise: "Mr. Mochida, are you sure that the house on the left hand side when you lit the cigarette is really Mr. Watanuki's house?"

"Of course it's confirmed!" Mochida smiled and waved his hand, "Although I drank a lot of wine at the time, I still can't make a mistake..."

Conan narrowed his eyes and said: "...That's not necessarily the case! Mr. Mochida, on that night, if the Watanuki family was on your left, it would be very difficult for you to light a fire and smoke..."

"Huh? What?" Mochida, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were all stunned for a moment, not knowing why.

Conan said seriously: "...Maybe you have forgotten? There was a strong wind that night! It was an east wind!"



Next to the flower pond at the construction site.

Officer Takagi and several uncles holding shovels said: "Officer Megure, can we start digging now?"

"Please wait!" Koda Masao, who had calmed down temporarily, stopped him, "...I'm sorry, Mr. Police Officer, can I move this cosmos first? My sister likes cosmos the most. I

I think the reason why a cosmos grows here is because my sister’s spirit is in heaven. I hope we can find her..."

"Okay, of course no problem." Officer Megure nodded.

Koda Masao borrowed a shovel and carefully dug up the cosmos.

Officer Megure walked up to Watanuki Yiichi and asked, "Mr. Watanuki, have you confessed now?"

"Yes, I confessed." Watuguanyi said with a slumped face, "Anyway, as long as you dig, you will dig up the body. No matter how much I deny it, it is useless. But, Mr. Police Officer, you have to believe me, I really

It was not intentional..."

"...I asked her to compensate for my losses, but she was unwilling. Then I threatened her to cancel all cooperation between me and Dongdu Securities... Later, during our argument, I accidentally pushed her and she got out.

When I went down the stairs, my head hit the wall and I lost my breath..."

Officer Megure said "hmm", stared and said: "... Mr. Watanuki, regarding the cause of death of Miss Sanae, we will have a forensic examination after the body is exhumed... Of course, no matter what, you are a murderer.

It is absolutely wrong to bury corpses secretly in the future."

"... Regarding this, our police have written it into the file and submitted it to the court!"

"I, I understand." Wan Guanyi nodded dejectedly.

Not long after, Koda Masao dug up the cosmos, and Officer Takagi and others also started digging up the bodies.

Koda Masao held the cosmos in his hand, walked to Shu Yunwen, bowed and said: "...Sir Spiritual Master, thank you for helping me find Sanae's body. I have made many offenses before, please forgive me.

Forgive me..."

"...Forget it!" Shu Yunwen waved his hand——

After all, Koda Masao is also a poor man whose sister died. He doesn't bother to pursue those offenses...



"Conan, there was a strong wind that night. Does it have anything to do with this case?"

Inside Mochida's house, little Lolita Ayumi asked strangely.

"There is a relationship, and the relationship is huge." Conan spread out his notebook and started drawing on it with a pen, "...you see. According to Mr. Mochida, Mr. Watanuki's house was on his left at that time.

That is the north; on the right is the construction site, which is the south; so his front is the east!"

"...The newspaper said that there was a strong east wind that night. With the wind blowing from the front, it was impossible for Mr. Mochida to light a cigarette."

Conan said this and looked up at Mochida: "...Mr. Mochida, please recall carefully. When you lit the cigarette, was there a strong wind in front of you?"

"Uh...that's right." Mochida thought about it carefully and nodded, "...There was indeed a strong wind in front of me at that time. I turned my back to light my cigarette, and then I heard... etc.

Wait, could it be that..."

Mochida himself also reacted.

Conan nodded seriously and said: "...Everything is just as you thought. You turned your back to light a cigarette, so you switched left and right! The voice you heard from the left at that time was actually not from Mr. Watanuki's house.

It’s from the construction site!”

"Ah..." Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta all exclaimed, "...Since the sound of digging came from the construction site, was Miss Sanae's body buried in the construction site?"

"Now it seems that it shouldn't be wrong." Conan stood up with a smile on his lips.

Mitsuhiko continued to ask: "...But, the construction site is so big, it will be difficult to find the corpses, right? Don't we have to dig them all up?"

"It's a bit too exaggerated to dig them all up." Conan shook his head, and then the expression on his face was a little weird, "...I heard Uncle Mouri say last night that when he went to Miss Sanae's company to investigate, an employee said

She bought a lot of cosmos seeds that day. Ms. Sanae took some back and said she would plant them herself... Do you still remember that when we were playing baseball at the construction site yesterday, Haihara and her were sitting in the flower pond reading a book...

"

"Cosmos? Reading? Could it be...Xiao Ai..." Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta all thought of a certain scene from yesterday——

By the way, the picture of Xiao Ai sitting next to the cosmos and reading a book yesterday was really beautiful, but now they think that picture is so eerie...

"Hehehe... let's go to Watanuki's house and tell everyone our reasoning." A proud smile appeared on the Conan kid's face, imagining the next meeting——

By the way, what would be the reaction of the disgusting and eccentric genius who was observing him as a guinea pig if he knew that there was a corpse buried under where she sat yesterday?

In addition, there is that stupid Shu Yunwen. That guy must not have expected that he would solve the puzzle so quickly. I am really looking forward to what that guy’s expression will look like next...

As for those who copy the school rules, let them go away! This time, I won!
