Chapter 1620: The End of the Four Caterpillars

On the afternoon of Tuesday, December 6, near Kei Mitsui's family, the grove where the four Qingchong brothers lived.

Seeing Conan rummaging under the bushes, Mitsuhiko asked, "What's here?"

Yuan Tai joked: "Are you looking for the four Qingchong brothers as witnesses?"

"That's right." Conan found four branches and leaves, which were obviously pruned.

"This should be the pruned branches and leaves?" Ayumi asked.

Haibara asked, "Are you trying to say that this belongs to Mitsui's family?"

"You found it too." Conan smiled, "Student Mitsui must have been very embarrassed when he found the caterpillars. He didn't want the caterpillars to stay on the flowers and plants planted by his mother, but he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to kill them. So we moved them here."

Huiyuan laughed and said: "Well, the reason why I cut off the branches and leaves where they are located is because I dare not hold them with my hands. If you can think of this, it seems that you are the same."

Conan raised his triangular eyes, you can try one.

Mitsuhiko pondered: "Ah, I understand, he didn't want people to see him, so he chose to act at night."

Ayumi asked: "However, Mitsui's father came home around ten o'clock in the evening. How could he choose that time?"

Yuan Tai said: "I know this, it must be because there are few pedestrians."

"This is a circular passage with four streets A, B, C, and D. Mitsui's home is on A street, and this is on B street. It takes less than five minutes to walk from his house to here, and it's faster to run. And C street It’s the way back from the station.” Conan said with a smile, “Student Mitsui just needs to run around, so that if he bumps into his father on Street C or Street D, he can be said to have run out to pick him up instead of meeting him face to face. , or even just missed it, it can also be said that it was because of the darkness that I didn’t see it clearly.”

Mitsuhiko said: "That can be advanced, there is no need to be at that time, right?"

"If you act in advance, there will be problems," Conan said with a smile, "because if his father calls home and he doesn't answer it, it will be difficult to explain."

Yuan Tai smiled and said: "It can be said to have a tuba in the bathroom."

"Genta!" Ayumi was very dissatisfied.

Haibara pondered, "Shimura House is on Street C. According to what you said, the taxi driver must have met Mitsui-san."

"Then he met the murderer?" Mitsuhiko was puzzled, "But why didn't he say anything?"

"It's because of guilt. After all, this is also a bush raised by someone else," Conan said, "Student Mitsui put the caterpillars in his own flowers and plants in other people's homes. He knew it was wrong, so he didn't want others to know, let alone with him. The police said."

Mitsuhiko understood, "It turns out to be like this."

Ayumi praised: "As expected of Conan."

Yuan Tai said, "Just like a detective."

Looking at the giggling Haibara, Conan was speechless, what's so funny, I, a detective, have become like this, and you can't get rid of it.

Mitsuhiko lost his voice and said: "It's not good, will the murderer kill Mitsui-san to silence him?"

Ayumi shouted nervously: "Ah, then Mitsui is in danger."

"Alright, the next mission of our boy detective team is to protect Mitsui-san."

"Boys detective team set off!"

Genta raised his arms and shouted, and immediately got the response from Ayumi and Mitsuhiko, and the three ran away in a hurry.

Haibara yawned and pointed to Conan, meaning you follow.

Conan raised his triangular eyes, "What about you?"

"For this kind of thing, you and the police are enough, remember not to play too late." Hui Yuan put down his words and walked away with brisk steps.

Conan sighed, and had to keep up with Yuantai and the others. ...

On Thursday, December 8th, Miko Miyamoto's office.

After the market closed in the morning, Misa Horiuchi came to Miko Miyamoto to report the fat finger incident that happened in the morning.

At 9:27:56 this morning, when a trader in charge of a certain company was trading, he sold 610,000 yen for 1 plant, which became 1 yen for 610,000 plants, which caused great chaos in the market.

Horiuchi Misa smiled and said: "The most interesting thing is that there are only 14,500 plants in this club, which is 42 times more out of thin air."

"This guy is really a talent," Miko Miyamoto said with a smile.

Horiuchi Misa smiled and said: "This unlucky guy, don't even think about getting involved in the financial world in the future, and he probably won't get out of the shadows for the rest of his life."

Miko Miyamoto asked, "How much did you earn on this stock?"

Misa Horiuchi said, "That's right, ma'am, I didn't let anyone touch this stock."

"This is not just the fault of the trader itself, but also the problem of the stock exchange. This kind of short selling should have a limit. If the stock exchange's procedures are perfect, this kind of thing will not happen."

"So, when making a claim in the future, the stock exchange will be involved."

"In order to reduce losses, the stock exchange will definitely require the stock exchange to return the profits. Although it is legally unjustifiable, the higher-ups will definitely come forward to coordinate. After all, this is related to the reputation of the stock exchange."

"How much will be returned at that time is a question, because the stock is volatile, and the value depends on time. It is fine to sell it now. Hold it, that is my vision."

"If I have to return this part at that time, I will feel very unwilling. The rest will be angry with the higher authorities. It is better not to touch it at all."

"In terms of benefits, the benefits obtained from the chain reaction it produces are greater than its own benefits."

Miyamoto Miko said with a smile: "I agree with you, if you don't like it, don't play it, but according to your opinion, you are very optimistic about it."

"From the perspective of investment, it has no meaning for the time being, but from the perspective of speculation, it has just begun, and there will definitely be a big increase in the future, and then it will fall back sharply." Misa Horiuchi said, "How much rise, How much it will fall depends on the situation, but the current market environment is positive, it will rise a lot, and the fall will be slightly less, and the stable stock price should rise compared with the current stock price.”

"Okay, I know about this matter." Miyamoto Miko pondered, "However, from this matter and the market shutdown caused by a computer failure on November 1, it can be seen that the exchange's system is indeed If there is a problem, you have to be prepared for it, lest the exchange’s system go wrong at an emergency and cause losses, it will cost a lot more than preparing for the second hand.”

"Yes, ma'am, I will." Misa Horiuchi said.

"Okay, let's do it that way," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "It's getting late, I won't keep you for lunch, we can talk about it when we have a chance."

"Yes, then I'll go out first." Horiuchi Misa smiled and retreated. ...

In the afternoon, Conan, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi continued to follow Keiichi Mitsui and protect him.

Tracking down is hard work, and the four of them stayed for another afternoon, but the murderer was not caught, but the four of them were caught cold by the wind.

On the way back, the four found that the four caterpillars in the bushes were gone.

Mr. Matsuura happened to pass by, and Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta pulled him to ask if they had been killed.

Mr. Matsuura said that he never killed them, probably because the time has come, and the four caterpillars have gone into the ground to hide for the winter. ...

Friday, December 9th, Tedan Primary School.

The fat finger incident has spread. Even elementary schools can hear the sound of dreaming of buying stocks. 610,000 plants are sold for 1 yen. It doesn’t need to be much. If you buy 1,000 yen, you will send it out. Yesterday, it was more than 770,000. Based on the closing price of 100,000 yuan, his net worth immediately soared to more than 700 million yen.

Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Genta of the Boy Detective Team dreamed of getting rich and becoming a millionaire, which made Conan and Haibara laugh.

But it’s a dream, it’s a dream, the protection of witnesses is still to be done, but Huiyuan has slipped away again, God knows if the murderer will go, that kind of squatting thing is very boring, if you have time to blow there, it’s better to drink coffee at home and watch magazine.

Not only Haibara, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Genta couldn't take it any longer, but just when Genta was going to directly extract a confession from Mitsui Keiichi regardless of other people's objections, someone came to Mitsui Keiichi.

It was not the murderer, but Police Officer Takagi, who came to Mitsui Keiichi to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to identify the murderer.

Yuan Tai asked puzzledly: "The identification means..."

Mitsuhiko asked, "Has the murderer been caught?"

Conan asked, "How did you catch it?"

Ayumi urged: "Speak quickly."

Officer Takagi said with a smile: "Well, the murderer surrendered himself to the Metropolitan Police Department last night."

"Uh..." The four were speechless.

"Why is it happening like that!"

Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko are very unwilling, they have been dreaming about catching the murderer and taking him to the police station, and then accepting the rewards from everyone.

"Who is the murderer?" Conan asked.

Officer Takagi said: "The murderer is Mr. Yoshikawa from the apartment in front."

"Huh?" The four were surprised.

Officer Takagi said: "Mr. Yoshikawa works the night shift at a 24-hour convenience store and works very hard. He happened to see Mr. Shimura take a lot of cash from the ATM a few days ago.

"When Mr. Yoshikawa went to work that night, he found that old Mr. Shimura had gone out. Mr. Yoshikawa knew that Mr. Shimura was alone, so he was obsessed with money for a while, so he wanted to take a break to enjoy the new year."

"It happened that Mr. Shimura didn't close the window, so Mr. Yoshikawa entered the house through the window. He ransacked the box and found about 70,000 yen, and wanted to leave."

"As a result, when Mr. Yoshikawa went out, he happened to meet Mr. Shimura who was returning from the station to pick up his things. He panicked and killed Mr. Shimura by mistake."

"When Mr. Yoshikawa left Mr. Shimura's house, he first met a child, and then he met a taxi driver."

"Mr. Yoshikawa said that although it was night, the taxi had lights, and he didn't know if they could see his face clearly."

"Mr. Yoshikawa said that because of this, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep for the past few days. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally arranged things and surrendered himself later."

"That's the way it is."

Yuan Tai laughed and said, "What, I'm so scared that I can't sleep."

Mitsuhiko said: "That's right, I thought he would come to kill people to silence him."

Ayumi said: "However, we can finally go back now."

Conan sighed in his heart, if only those guys in the black organization could not sleep because of their bad deeds. ...

Later, Minoru Yoshikawa was sentenced to five years of prison service for the robber who surrendered himself to murder. Seeing that he could surrender himself, he sincerely repented of this.

Otherwise, if he is caught, the prosecutor can ask the magistrate to sentence him to death in the court, and in the end he will probably be sentenced to life imprisonment. ...
