The next morning at 7:30. Minamoto Masayoshi stood in front of the bedroom window and stretched his back."Who woke up first? I know that in my life." At this moment, Okino Yoko came in with Genji Masayoshi's clothes. She helped him take off his pajamas and put on his usual clothes. Genji Masayoshi enjoyed everything quietly as if he was a famous person in the past.

"That child has been walking around here a few times?”Okino Yoko pointed at a five or six-year-old boy riding a bicycle outside the gate. "That kid is learning how to ride a bicycle, so he's riding in a place with fewer cars."”As soon as he finished speaking, he thought to himself,"Wait a minute, he spun around a few times? Could it be?" Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the phone.

Maori Detective Agency. Xiao Lan, Mao Li, and Conan were having breakfast. Conan picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth while saying,""I feel that something is wrong." "What?" Mao Li asked. Did you get stuck on a fishbone?" Conan said," That's not it. I'm talking about the reason why Miss Sachiko parked her car behind Beika High School."”

Before Conan could finish his sentence, Xiao Lan pouted and asked,"Dad, what did the two of you talk about at the beach bridge for an hour and a half?”Mao Li was very surprised. "And why did you go for a ride with her?" Lan continued. "Could it be that Dad, you…" Mao Li immediately defended himself."What are you talking about? I didn't have any improper thoughts!”"Then tell me the contents of your conversation."”Mao Li pursed his lips." I don't remember those trivial things anymore. Besides, on the way…""Besides, how was the journey?"

Mao Li seemed a little hesitant as he sighed." Actually, we only talked for the first 30 minutes. After that, I fell asleep unknowingly.”"She's asleep?" Conan asked in surprise. "The feeling of drunkenness came back when I was drinking beer," Mao Li said."When I was woken up, it was already past ten."”Xiao Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud." Hahaha, this is so funny. Daddy actually fell asleep on a date."”Mao Li said angrily,"Stop laughing. That's why I didn't want to tell you!"”After saying that, he began to eat non-stop. Just as Conan was thinking, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, this is Maori Detective Agency!" Officer Yuan, what's the matter?”"I have something to ask Mr. Maori," said Gensei on the other end of the phone.”Conan was very puzzled, but he still passed the microphone to Mao Li. Mao Li said,"Is there something you need, Origin Lord?" "Last night, did you see the clock at the station before you got on the train or after you got off?"”Mao Li recalled." Before I got on the train, I realized that the door was about to close when I got off the train. I was so busy that I didn't have time to look at the clock.”

"Is that so? Alright then, Mr. Mao Li, shall we do an experiment tonight?”Yuan Zheng encouraged. "Experiment?" Mao Li asked. Conan snatched the phone and asked,""Origin Lord, what are you doing?" "I suspect that Mr. Maori took an extra seat last night."”Conan immediately said," You mean to say that Uncle took an extra round from Shibahama Station last night before arriving at the station? He didn't arrive at the back of the school at around 8 o'clock, but at around 9 o'clock?"”At this point, Conan had a flash of inspiration. "Yes, that's why I hope that Mr. Maori and I can take the train at that time again today."”

"Alright, I'll tell Uncle." After saying that, Conan hung up the phone. But what greeted him was Maori Kogoro's iron fist. Conan cried out in pain, and Maori said angrily,""Little brat, Officer Yuan hasn't finished talking to me yet and you're hanging up?”"Officer Yuan asked me to tell you that you're going to take the train with him again tonight."”"Why?" Mao Li asked. Conan saw that he was running late." Let's talk about this when I come back in the afternoon."”With that, she went to school.

In the afternoon, Minamoto Masayoshi also arrived at Maori Detective Agency. Meanwhile, Conan, who had just returned from school, seemed to have been inspired by Genta and Kazuhiko. Of course, Minamoto Masayoshi had already told him about this before.

"A circle around the circular railway?" Mao Li shouted loudly when he heard Yuan Zhengmian's words. "Uncle, did you fall asleep immediately after you got on the train from Shibahama Station?"”Mao Li thought for a moment, and Conan continued,"" It takes an hour to make one round of the circular railway. If the train made one round while Uncle was asleep…""Then, when we arrive at Mi Hua Station, it won't be 7:45 but 8:45.”

Mao Li immediately slammed the table and defended himself." That's impossible. I only slept for a short 15 minutes. I definitely couldn't sleep the entire round!"”"Didn't you not check the time after you got off the car?" I only heard the bell. Have you counted how many times the bell rang?”"No," Mao Li replied. Conan said," Then let's give it a try like Officer Yuan said. We'll take the circular railway today. We'll take the same train that leaves at 7:30 at Shibahama Station."”Mao Li sat on the chair and said,"Well, I don't mind."”

At 7:30 pm, on the train at Shibahama Station. Maori, Minamoto Masayoshi, Xiaolan, and Conan sat on the train together. As the station bell rang, the door closed and the train started.

"How is it, Dad?" asked Lan. Have you thought of anything?" "No!" Mao Li said. It seems that I slept very soundly last night. However, Sachiko was definitely not the murderer.”"Just because she went out on a date with you?"”"Of course not!" Mao Li said. Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, Conan immediately said,""Why don't we sit around first?”As the train sped along, they arrived at the station furthest from Shibahama Station.

"This is the furthest station from Shibahama Station!"”The car door opened, and three children and a few adults got in. When the three children saw Maori Kogoro, they pointed at Maori and snickered. Minamoto Masayoshi pointed at Maori Kogoro and asked,"What are you laughing at? Have you seen this uncle before?" "Candy," said one of the children. Xiao Lan was surprised." What?" Another child pointed at the third child and explained with a smile,"Yesterday, that uncle's mouth was so wide open when he was sleeping, and then he threw candy into his mouth.”The few of them were shocked. Mao Li then remembered the candy he had found when he got out of the car yesterday.

"What time was it?" asked Genshasa.”"Just like today, around eight o'clock," replied one of the children.”" That means it'll be almost 9 o'clock by the time I get to the station," Maori said." So it'll be 9 o'clock by the time I meet Miss Sachiko?"”" Yes," Conan said." It should have been 9:30 when we arrived at the beach bridge. We chatted for 30 minutes, which should have been 10:00. We were woken up at 10:10." Uncle, you thought that you slept for an hour and ten minutes, but you only slept for ten minutes.”Conan and Minamoto Masayoshi said together.

Mao Li then realized,"That means she turned the clock back an hour, so she could use me as her alibi."”Then, Yuan Zhengmian and Mao Li came to the back door of the school. Mao Li introduced and deduced,""Yesterday, in order to avoid being seen, he deliberately parked his car here and then went to kill her roommate. She had seeped into the room through the window that had been opened beforehand and deliberately made some noise. After the victim was woken up, she could create a scene that was similar to a robber killing.”

"Then she came back here and met Dad, right?" Lan continued.”Mao Li thought about it and recalled the scene of Shimamura Sachiko packing her things last night. He said,""I remember that at that time, it must be the bloody clothes she wore when she committed the crime, and the gloves she used to commit the crime.”Conan continued," If that's the case, then she must have gotten rid of those things when Uncle was sleeping on the bridge. She also set the clock on the car forward an hour before Uncle got into the car. She set it back when Uncle was asleep."”Mao Li was furious. How dare you tease me, the famous detective, Maori Kogoro!”"That's right!" Yuan Zhengmian smiled. I think she's a good person! He should be considered a kind person!"

"What did you say?" Mao Li and Conan were shocked.”"She's teasing me like this, and you're still speaking up for her?" Mao Li asked.”"Mori-san, if I were her, I would kill you while you were sleeping." Killing him like this would end everything. She didn't do it because she still had a conscience in her heart. I think the reason why she killed Kazuki-san must be because Kazuki-san did something overboard to her, right? Although KazuMi-san is pitiful, I think that pitiful people must have their own detestable side.”

After listening to Minamoto Masayoshi's words, they fell into deep thought. A few seconds later, Conan said excitedly,""But this is not a reason to commit a crime.”"Conan is right. That's indeed the case. No matter what reason you have, you shouldn't kill people!”Maori Kogoro said excitedly.

Gen Masayoshi smiled and did not intend to argue with them. He asked,""By the way, Mr. Mao Li, can you think of anything else? After all, we need conclusive evidence to testify against him, right?”Mao Li thought about it carefully and then thought of something.

The next evening. "Those kids have seen Mr. Mao Li?”Sachiko said in surprise. "Your alibi is no longer valid." Actually, when you and Brother Mao Li met behind Mi Hua High School, it was just a few minutes after the murder.”Sachiko smiled and said,""But those kids could have mistaken Mr. Maori for someone they saw the night before, right?”"Yes…indeed, it's possible."”

"That's not possible. Those kids stuffed a candy into Mr. Mao Li's mouth. Mr. Mao Li also found the candy after he got out of the car, right?”Minamoto Masayoshi looked at Mao Li, who nodded."Indeed."

Sachiko was still unconvinced and said,""Besides, even if my alibi doesn't hold up, you can't prove that I killed Hemei.”

"What you said makes sense, but I have evidence.”Mao Li took out a plastic bag. Inside the bag was a black ballpoint pen. He walked towards Sachiko Shimura." Do you have any impression of this pen? Yes, this is your pen.”Who knew that he would trip over a chair and faint even though he was only three to four meters away? Was he deliberately not letting Maori Kogoro perform?)。Conan looked at Genji Masayoshi, who nodded. In this situation, he could only go up, or Conan could continue to use the voice changer. If he used it many times, it would be easier for others to notice, so it could only be Genji Masayoshi's performance.

Minamoto Masayoshi took the bag from Mao Li's hands and continued,""I'll continue Mr. Mao Li's story. This matter goes back to 8:30 p. m. the day before yesterday. At that time, the courier company sent the parcel to your apartment. Kazumi, who was sleeping, opened the door, but she couldn't find the seal. Kazumi wanted to take the ballpoint pen on the dining table to sign her name, but the pen couldn't write anything. The delivery man suspected that there was no ink left, so he took out the refill to confirm. He noticed that there was still a little ink in the refill, and when Miss Kazumi wrote again, it came out again. After the delivery man left, Kazumi put the ballpoint pen on the restaurant's phone bill and went back to her room to rest. And then 20 minutes later, that's when you kill her. At that time, you took the pen that fell beside her body as your own and picked it up because you felt guilty. Then, you put the bloody clothes and gloves into the car, and then you met Mr. Mao Li. After that, you invited Mr. Mori for a ride, and the bloody clothes and gloves were placed under the backseat. At this moment, the ballpoint pen in your bag fell out. I don't think you noticed that a ballpoint pen fell out of Mr. Mao Li's pocket when he was sitting in the passenger seat that night.”

Shimura Sachiko was shocked, and Minamoto said,""You should know, right? The ballpoint pen that belonged to you was picked up by Mr. Mao Li. We found your and Mr. Mao Li's fingerprints on this ballpoint pen, and the fingerprints of the delivery man from that day on the refill. These fingerprints indicate that you entered the apartment after 8:30.”

Sachiko weakly held onto the table and said,""I killed her because she was blackmailing me. A year ago, I sold a prohibited item that was restricted by the law without my knowledge. After Kazumi found out about this, she had to pay her a fixed amount of money every month. She threatened me that if I rejected her, she would go public and the bank would not finance me. I had no choice but to accept her blackmail, but when I thought about how I had to work under her blackmail for the rest of my life, I…"

"You killed him just because you made up your mind?" Megure continued.”" Yes, to be honest," said Shimura Sachiko." When Mr. Mori-san called me, I thought everything was over. But after I found out that Mr. Mori-san had checked the time an hour earlier, I decided to gamble my luck."”"But if you didn't meet Mori-san, how would you have an alibi?" asked Megure.”" I installed an anti-theft camera on the company's window," Sachiko said." It's constantly shooting at the hotel opposite. This way, I can prove to the police that I was at the company when the incident happened."”"You went to the company for a while on your way back from the car ride with Brother Mao Li. That was to remove the anti-theft camera, right?"”

"That's right. Everything that happened next was just as Officer Yuan deduced. I'm sorry for giving you so much trouble!”Sachiko said. "No, Miss Sachiko," Gensei said. I think you would do the same even if you had to do it all over again, right?”Sachiko looked at Minamoto Masayoshi in surprise and said,""Yes." " Just like I said, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Although KazuMi-san is dead, it's still karma!" said Minamoto Masayoshi to Conan and Maori.”"Alright, take him away!" Megure sighed.”

He went downstairs and prepared to get into the police car. "Can I ask you a question?" Conan asked Sachiko. When Uncle fell asleep on the bridge, it was also possible for you to kill him, right?”"Conan!" Xiaolan said. "Because she has no enmity with Mr. Maori!" said Minamoto Masayoshi with a smile. Even though Sachiko murdered Kazuko-san, it doesn't mean that she's a bad person. Instead, it makes me feel that Kazuko-san is the bad person.”Sachiko looked at Minamoto Masayoshi, who had seen through her thoughts, and then at Conan and Maori Kogoro." Yes, because I don't have any hatred for Mr. Maori!”

"Although I sympathize with you, if you immediately report to the relevant departments after discovering that you imported contraband, then Miss Kazumi won't be able to blackmail you, right? In the end, it was all because of human greed, just like how Mr. Mao Li gambled on horses!”Yuan Zheng encouraged. Sachiko smiled and glanced at him before she was brought into the police car.

Mao Li said angrily,"Why are you dragging me into this?" I'm betting on horses for the sake of the food at the detective agency!”"But you never win, and you're increasing the firm's financial burden, aren't you?"”"Officer Yuan is right!" Lan said.”Conan thought to himself, I feel the same!

(I just came back and saw the comments about Okino Yoko. I will think about it.) In addition, I found that there were very few people who spoke. Even if they wanted to pour me water, they would let me look at you and see who was reading my book. I had a feeling in my heart.)
