Chapter 1619 4 The Caterpillar Incident

December 3rd, Saturday afternoon, at Dr. Ali's house.

The young detective team accompanied Dr. A Li back to enliven the atmosphere so that Dr. A Li would not be sad because of Fusae's departure.

Seeing Dr. Ali flipping through the advertisements in the shopping street and Mihua Plaza, Conan, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were a little worried about Dr. Ali. This is not because they missed the time when they bought vegetables with Fusae and were out of order. Bar?

Conan noticed that there was a slight smile on the corner of Haibara's mouth, and immediately asked with his eyes.

Haibara sent a smug smile, but didn't say anything.

Conan was speechless, he could only put his palms together and beg.

"Although Fusa-e's craftsmanship is great, Dr. Ali can't get enough to eat with her, so," Huihara said with a chuckle, "Dr. Ali is now preparing to do a big job."

"What are you doing?" Yuan Tai asked the three of them.

"Of course it's shopping and making a big meal." Huiyuan said with a light smile.

"Cut!" The three of Yuan Tai despised Dr. A Li together.

Ayumi whispered: "My girlfriends are gone, but I still only remember to eat, really."

Mitsuhiko said: "This is the reality. Between bread and love, people often choose bread."

Conan was speechless. It's all about where. The two of them just have different living habits. It will be fine if they get along for a long time.

"Hey," Yuan Tai said with a smile, "If it were me, of course I would want both."

"You're right, I just bought them all." Dr. A Li's words attracted Yuantai and the others. The three of them forgot what happened just now, and chatted with Dr. A Li about what to buy. Obviously they also wanted bread.

Conan noticed that Haibara was smiling mysteriously, and he was very curious, "The smile is so mysterious, what's going on?"

Huiyuan laughed softly: "Okay, in case you can't sleep, I'll tell you, but you have to keep it a secret."

"Of course, no one will tell." Conan made a zipper motion on his mouth.

Haibara whispered: "It was actually Fusae's intention to make Dr. Ali starve, and she asked me to cooperate with her."

Conan was surprised, "Huh? Why is that?"

"Don't understand?" Huiyuan said faintly, "She wants Dr. A Li to think of her food and hunger when she thinks of her, so that Dr. A Li will not feel so uncomfortable when he thinks of her. "

Conan was shocked and moved to cry. ...

Mihua Shopping Street.

Huiyuan accompanied Dr. Ali to go shopping, and the beautiful girlfriend next to Dr. Ali disappeared. This is another news.

When everyone learned that she had returned to China, when they gave Dr. Ali a sympathetic look, many of them looked proudly at each other after winning the bet.

"Let me just say, that beauty will definitely not be Dr. A Li's girlfriend."

Haibara looked funny, these people probably will never understand the relationship between Fusae and Dr. Ari. ...

On December 5, Monday, afternoon, on the way to Didan Primary School after school.

Ayumi takes Conan, Haibara, Genta, and Mitsuhiko to a bush near an apartment to see new friends they met yesterday, three caterpillars, Taro, Jiro, and Saburo.

Conan said: "There are still these at this time. The weather this year is really warm and abnormal."

Huihara said: "Well, I heard Dr. Ali said that he was covering the heavy snow."

Ayumi asked happily: "How is it, isn't it cute?"

Yuan Tai clicked his tongue, "Cute?"

Mitsuhiko muttered, "It's kind of disgusting."

"Disgusting?" Ayumi was dissatisfied.

Haibara smiled and said, "I think it's cute too."

"Yes, indeed."

"It's really cute"

Genta and Mitsuhiko agreed together, but they smiled forcedly.

At this time, Ayumi found another caterpillar, "Huh? Why is there another one? I counted it carefully yesterday.

"

Huiyuan smiled and said, "This is the four Qingchong brothers."

At this time, a middle-aged man with a pipe came, "What are you doing here? What are you looking at?"

Ayumi said, "We are looking at caterpillars."

"Petidiae? Is there still that thing in this season?" The middle-aged man asked casually, but he followed Yuantai and Mitsuhiko's fingers and found four caterpillars, which made him startled.

"Strange, I didn't see it when I watered it before."

Huiyuan smiled and said, "Hide behind the leaves."

"No, these things have to be wiped out."

"Wait, please don't kill them, please, they are my friends."

"Anyway, there are so many leaves, it's impossible to eat them all."

"And the leaves that have been eaten can grow again, and the caterpillars that have been killed will not be resurrected."

After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Ayumi begged quickly, Haibara and Conan also persuaded quickly, and finally the middle-aged man gave up his mind.

At this time, a young man came over, "Oh, Boss Matsuura."

"Ah, it's Yoshikawa, you're back, thanks for your hard work." Boss Matsuura smiled.

"It's okay." Mr. Yoshikawa asked, "By the way, I just passed by the next street and saw a police car. What happened?"

"Oh, that," Boss Matsuura said sadly, "Mr. Shimura, who lived alone, was killed. I heard that he lost tens of thousands of yen."

"That's it." Mr. Yoshikawa sighed.

"Really, it's only for tens of thousands of yen, alas." Boss Matsuura sighed and left.

The boy detective team stopped Mr. Yoshikawa who was about to leave, asked where the next street was, and immediately went to join in the fun. ...

Outside Shimura's house.

After looking at the cordon, the police officer Takagi was standing. The young detective team was overjoyed and ran up to say hello through the cordon and asked what happened.

"You guys..." Officer Takagi couldn't laugh or cry, but he said it anyway.

Mr. Shimura, who lived alone, was killed, and the time of the murder was preliminarily judged to be last night, and the reason was for property.

It was Mr. Shimura's old chess friend Horibe who called the police. According to him, there was 50,000 yen in the drawer of the cabinet, but it is gone now.

At this time, Officer Sato came out from Shimura House, saw the young detective team inside the cordon, and immediately shouted angrily: "Takagi!"

"Ah, yes!" Officer Takagi stood up with a wry smile.

"How many of you..."

"Ah, let's go out now."

Seeing Police Officer Sato's aggressive look, the Boys Detective Team ran away immediately, and if they didn't run away, they would be like Officer Takagi for a while - to be scolded. ...

The next day, December 6, in the afternoon, Didan Primary School.

Seeing Officer Sato and Officer Takagi enter the school gate from the window, Conan, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko immediately ran out of the classroom, and Ayumi pulled Haibara into the room.

Officer Sato and Officer Takagi were looking for Keiichi Mitsui from the next class, and the Detective Boys eavesdropped on their conversation.

After Shimura's incident hit the news, a taxi driver came to the police.

The driver said that he passed Shimura's house at ten o'clock last night, and almost ran into a panicked child. The driver suspected that the child might have seen the murderer so panicked.

But it was night, and the driver didn't pay attention. He only knew that the child was wearing a white baseball cap. Judging from his stature, he was about the first grade of elementary school, and should not be older than the third grade.

Officers Sato and Takagi checked at the police station and found that Keiichi Mitsui, who lived in the street near Shimura House, was very similar to the driver's child, because the patrol said he always wore a white baseball cap.

So, police officers Sato and Takagi came, and Keiichi Mitsui came to answer questions accompanied by the teacher.

However, Mitsui Keiichi did not admit that he hit a taxi, and also said that he had not gone out for the past few nights.

After the answer was over, Keiichi Mitsui and his teacher left, and the Detective Boys came up.

"Officer, it won't be Mitsui-san." Ayumi said.

"Why?"

"His mother passed away, so he and his father are the only ones at home." Ayumi said, "I heard that his father works from afternoon to midnight, and gets home at about ten o'clock in the evening, so it can't be Mitsui's classmate. "

Officer Sato said: "Oh, Ayumi, what you mean is that even if Mitsui-san wants to go out, he will not choose when his father is off work, lest his father find out that he has gone out."

"That's right." Ayumi nodded.

Officer Gao Mu sighed: "It seems that we have to find again."

"Let's go." Officer Sato said, "No matter how difficult it is to find this witness, we must find this witness, otherwise it will be terrible if the murderer wants to kill him."...

After school, Conan followed Mitsui Keiichi and wanted to visit his house, but found Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Haibara following behind.

The five of them followed Keiichi Mitsui's house, a house full of flowers and plants in front of the door.

Keiichi Mitsui turned to look at the street corner where the five were hiding, "Come out, I know you are following me, Boys Detective Team."

After being seen through Xingzang, the five stood up embarrassedly.

Mitsui Keiichi said: "Don't ask me about the incident. If you don't want to come in and sit around, then go back. I still have to water the flowers."

Ayumi praised: "Wow, you took care of these flowers in your house?"

"My mother planted these, and I have been taking care of them since she was hospitalized." Keiichi Mitsui went home sadly, and soon came out with a kettle to water the flowers.

Seeing Keiichi Mitsui taking care of the flowers and plants carefully, everyone understood that he was missing his mother through the flowers and plants.

Looking at it, Conan suddenly found that the branches of some flowers and plants had been cut.

Conan's heart moved, the flowers and plants in this season will not grow very fast in the open air, and there should be no pruning, so what?

Thinking of this, Conan remembered what Boss Matsuura said yesterday, and an idea came to his mind, and he immediately ran to confirm.

Seeing that Conan had run away, the four Huiyuan quickly followed and ran all the way back to the four Qingchong brothers. ...
