Chapter 1400: A Reputation Better Than Life

Tuesday, February 24, afternoon, live.

Police officer Chiba asked the administrator of the apartment building about the situation of everyone living in the apartment building, and then asked the neighbors about the situation, and learned that Miss Noriko Imai, who lives on the top of the building, had recently had a conflict with Egami Riha's mother-in-law.

Egami Riha's mother-in-law rummaged through Imai Noriko's trash and found a torn letter. Egami Riha's mother-in-law put the letter back together and found that it was a breakup letter written by Miss Imai's ex-boyfriend.

Egami Riha's mother-in-law publicized the content of the letter everywhere, and even made trouble at the place where Noriko Imai worked.

Imai Noriko, feeling ashamed, sued Egami Liha's mother-in-law, but although she won the lawsuit, Egami Liha's mother-in-law was not punished.

And this incident made Jiang Shanglibo's mother-in-law even more proud and unscrupulous, so that some people nearby were afraid that they would become victims one day, and they simply moved to other places because they couldn't stand it.

While speaking, Noriko Imai returned, a young and beautiful woman with short hair.

Police officer Chiba hurried forward to stop Noriko Imai, showed his police officer ID and asked, "Miss Imai, where were you last night?"

"Sleeping at home, of course." Noriko Imai asked, "Who is dead here, and what does it have to do with me?"

Officer Chiba was surprised, "Miss Imai, don't you know?"

Noriko Imai asked, "Why should I know?"

"You always pass here in the morning? Don't you see it?" Conan asked.

"I know someone has an accident, but I don't know who it is," Imai Noriko said.

Mitsuhiko said: "Lie, this is right in front of your house."

Imai Noriko said: "Even if the emperor was assassinated by Americans at my door, I would not take a second look."

"Disrespectful!" Officer Chiba shouted.

"I'm telling the truth," Imai Noriko said, "As long as I don't die, I have to go to work, and I will be deducted for being late. If I don't have money, I won't have food, I won't have a place to live, and I will be like everyone else. Just like living on the street, look at those people, you police, magistrates, and even the emperor, whoever gave them help, if you can't, what does the emperor's life and death have to do with me? You should respect me, because you The wages are taken from us hard-working people, so you are the one who is rude."

"This, I..." Officer Chiba was speechless for a moment.

"That's a lot of strong words." Hui Yuan said.

"Little girl, we paid for your compulsory education. Of course, we also benefited from our seniors at that time." Noriko Imai said, "So please have the minimum respect for your elders."

Yuan Tai asked curiously: "Can you really say, what do you do?"

"I'm just a baker now, but I've been reading." Imai Noriko said, and then asked Ayumi, "So you were there, remember me?"

"You..." Ayumi thought for a while, "Ah, you are the aunt from the bakery."

"Yes, come often." Noriko Imai said with a smile.

"Yeah." Ayumi responded.

Noriko Imai said to police officer Chiba: "Then, if there is nothing else, I will go back."

"No, please wait." Officer Chiba asked, "Grandma Liha Egami was killed last night. Did you see anything?"

"Ha, so she was the one who died." Noriko Imai said with a gleeful smile, "Good death."

"Why are you like this?" Ayumi was disappointed.

"You are still young and don't understand how important a reputation is to a person, and she ruined my reputation abruptly." Noriko Imai said, "A thousand people's accusations can make a lot of money, and words are often stronger than steel knives." It is sharp and kills invisible, at that moment, I was already killed by her."

"But even so, you don't have to kill her.

"Conan said deliberately.

"I have a deep hatred with her, and I wish she would die." Noriko Imai said viciously, "And it helped everyone solve their inner troubles."

Hui Yuan said: "So, you really killed her."

"For everyone? Don't say it so sanctimoniously." Conan said, "Killing is wrong."

"It turns out that you are trying to trick me. I really underestimated you children." Noriko Imai laughed, "But I really don't feel guilty at all now."

Police officer Chiba asked: "So, you admitted that you killed Granny Egami Liha?"

"I don't admit it." Noriko Imai smiled, "So now you can only detain me, convict me, and find evidence."

Officer Chiba said: "We will find it."

"I'll wait." Noriko Imai smiled.

Ayumi couldn't help but said: "You'd better admit it, killing is wrong after all."

Noriko Imai said: "Little sister, Buddha also has the anger to kill and kill, let alone human beings, you will understand when you grow up." Then he showed a gentle and sad smile, "But I hope you will never understand it, understand it Yes, that is also a kind of sadness.”

Watching Noriko Imai being taken into the police car by police officer Chiba, Conan said to his companion: "Okay, let's go back quickly."

Yuan Tai asked: "Conan, do you understand what she is talking about?"

Hui Yuan said: "It doesn't matter what she says, just believe that you are right."

Ayumi said firmly: "Well, killing people is wrong."

Mitsuhiko said: "Speaking of it, it seems that there is no evidence."

Conan said: "Anyway, if someone catches it, it's up to the referee. It's not something we should worry about."

"That's right." Yuan Tai shouted, "Our young detective team has solved another case."

"Big victory!" Ayumi and Mitsuhiko agreed. ...

Later, through the half of the lottery ticket, the police found that the lottery ticket was bought by Noriko Imai, but Noriko Imai said that he tore up and threw it away because he did not win the lottery. However, although the other half of the lottery ticket was not found, the police found Noriko Imai through the lottery machine records. The lottery ticket I bought actually won the lottery, and it was the second prize.

Regarding this, Noriko Imai said with a smile uglier than crying that she might have read it wrong.

There is nothing the police can do about it.

Noriko Imai's fingerprints were not found on the flower pot of the murder weapon, and Noriko Imai's family did not find any gloves stained with flower pot soil, so there is no way to prove that Noriko Imai once picked up the flower pot.

In the end, Noriko Imai was acquitted by the court because of insufficient evidence.

However, when Noriko Imai returned to the apartment and the bakery, she was greeted by the murderer's eyes.

And the bakery fired her. Although she made an excuse, Noriko Imai knew why.

He obviously did something that everyone wanted to do but didn't dare to do, but no one understood.

Frustrated, Noriko Imai left Mihua Town and later committed suicide. ...

Wednesday, February 25, afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.

Seeing a stranger come in, Maori was overjoyed, it was the client, so he went up to receive him very warmly.

"I asked Renjian Takehiko," Hitomi Takehiko said, "I have a twin brother. I suspect that he is using my name to commit fraud, so I would like to ask you to help investigate."

"No problem, just leave it to me." Maori said happily, "I, Maori Kogoro, will help you to investigate clearly about your brother."

Seeing Takehiko stunned, "Uh, you are the famous detective Mori Kogoro?"

"That's right, so don't worry." Mao Li smiled happily, this is the benefit of being famous.

"Forget it, let's set it up for ten days. I hope you can give me an answer in ten days." Hitomi Takehiko said, thinking at the same time, nothing will happen in ten days, right?

"Okay, we've made a deal, please fill out this power of attorney." Mao Li had tears in his eyes, and finally, finally opened again. ...

In the afternoon, Friday, February 27th, Mihua Plaza Hotel.

Mori, wearing a peaked cap and black-rimmed glasses, stared at the target from a distance, and the client's brother Hitomi Matsuichiro.

In the past three days, Mori has roughly figured out Hitomi Matsuichiro's situation. He and his client, Hitomi Takehiko, have separated and run a company, but the business failed, so he borrowed money from an underground bank in the name of his younger brother Hitomi Takehiko. Money, usury.

However, the person who lent money to someone to see Matsuichiro was not a fool. He quickly discovered the problem and forced him to pay back the money, so Matsuichiro had to find someone to meet Takehiko. .

People saw that Takehiko didn't give money to Matsuichiro, so people saw that Matsuichiro didn't pay the money, so they could only beg the debt collectors, but the debt collectors only wanted to collect debts, and didn't care about other things, but seeing that people saw Takehiko To save face, I have a few more days of grace.

The debt collector left, and Matsuichiro was seen going to the bathroom in a daze.

At this time, Mao Li was suddenly touched from behind, and the camera in his hand almost fell to the ground in fright.

"orchid!"

Maori turned around and realized that it was his daughter's prank, and he was speechless.

Lan also came with Conan, Yamazaki, Mei Daizi, and Sonoko, all carrying schoolbags on their way home from school.

"Is that him?" Sonoko looked at Matsuichiro and asked.

"You guys, why should you go, don't get in the way here." Mao Li said angrily.

"No, Dad." Lan smiled, "They came with me. To reward you for your hard work, our family ate here at night."

"What? Here..." Mao Li shouted halfway, then he reacted and quickly lowered his voice, "Eat here, no, no, the food here is too expensive, if I finish eating, my commission will be for nothing."

"Over there, uncle." Conan pointed with a smile.

Maori saw that a restaurant downstairs in the hotel held a buffet event, the price was very cheap, but it was acceptable, and he felt hungry for a while.

"It's almost time, let's go back." Mei Daizi smiled.

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Then uncle, you stand here first, and I will replace you after dinner."...
