Chapter 238: The Number of Poker Cards

Tuesday, September 3rd, Mihua Town, Didan Elementary School.

In the morning, Conan found that Ayumi didn't come to school until almost ten o'clock. So I cared about it during the lunch break. It turned out that she was called by the police for questioning, because there was a robbery incident on the third-chome side, and the police are still not sure who did it. Now they are investigating the victim's residence in the same apartment building one by one. Because the victim lived next door to Dr. Yoko Sawaki, he went to ask Ayumi, who was with Dr. Sawaki yesterday, for questioning.

"The police uncle came to my house in the morning and asked me where I was at 7:30 last night." Ayumi said, "I told the police uncle that at that time yesterday I was pulling my teeth at Dr. Kamen Rider." Then he said with a sad face, "But I hardly saw anything yesterday."

"Why?" Mitsuhiko asked, "Didn't you say you watched it with Dr. Ye Zi?"

"I just saw the front, and somehow fell asleep," Ayumi said.

"Asleep?" Conan asked, "What's going on, Ayumi? Please speak clearly."

"I felt a little tired after pulling out my teeth yesterday, so I fell asleep in the rest room, and was woken up by the doctor later, but I fell asleep again after watching the beginning, and then woke up at the end." Bu Mei said, "So I didn't see anything at all."

Something is wrong, Conan thought, and Yamazaki didn't return to Mei Dai Restaurant until after 8:00 pm last night, and he set off from Mei Dai Restaurant at around 7:50 to send Dr. Asaika to Dr. Sawaki Yoko's clinic. In any case, it is time to return to Mei Dai Restaurant around 7:30. Could it be that Dr. Sawaki is not in the clinic and they went to other places to find her?

Yuan Tai smiled and said: "You don't have to be so disappointed, I think someone must have recorded it yesterday, let's go to class and ask about it."

"Wait a minute," Conan asked, "Ayumi, do you remember what time it was when you finished pulling your tooth?"

Ayumi thought for a while and said, "About five minutes past seven."

"Then did you meet Dr. Asaika? Did she go to the clinic?" Conan said, "It was the doctor who chased me yesterday. She didn't wear her shoes and said she would go back and change them."

"No, I don't know if she came when I fell asleep." Ayumi said, and then asked, "By the way, Conan, she didn't do anything to you yesterday, did she?"

"No." Conan smiled, and then asked, "Why did you fall asleep again later?"

Ayumi said: "I don't know either. After taking the painkillers, I was very focused on watching TV, but after a while I was so sleepy that I fell asleep again."

"Painkiller?" Conan said to himself, could it be sleeping pills?

Mitsuhiko asked, "Ayumi, does tooth extraction hurt?"

"I will take anesthesia." Yuan Tai said, "But it will be very painful afterwards."

Ayumi smiled and said, "I'm blessed by Kamen Rider, so it doesn't hurt at all." Then explained, "I found a deck of Kamen Rider playing cards on the table in the lounge. Put it in your pocket."

"So you used Kamen Rider's playing cards as a talisman." Genta smiled, "I will try it next time."

"What happened next?" Conan asked.

Ayumi smiled and said, "I put it back after I thanked it."

oh? It was a windfall,

If what I guess is true, Conan thought, Yoko Sawaki used Ayumi as an alibi, so she is the robber. There are three ways to make an alibi: person, time and place. What Ayumi said must be true, so time and place are left. Thinking of this, Conan asked again: "Then when did you go home?"

"A little after eight o'clock," Ayumi said with a smile, "Dr. Ye Zi drove me home."

It was a little past eight o'clock, after Kamen Rider ended, when we drove from the clinic to Ayumi's house, it was about this time. Conan thought to himself, the time is fine now, so the location was changed halfway, and the evidence is the poker card. ...

After school in the afternoon, as soon as Conan returned to the Mori Detective Agency, he found that the Megure Police Department was talking to Mori.

"He said he was robbed, but he couldn't tell what he lost. It's so strange." Mumu Police Department asked, "Maori, what do you think of this incident?"

Maori asked back: "Megure Police Department, isn't that Mr. Nakamoto Katsuhiko in the money lending business? Could something shady be stolen?"

After thinking for a while, Mumu Police Department said: "This is very possible."

Conan asked: "Megure Police Department, what incident are you talking about, is it related to Dr. Sawaki Yoko?"

"Yes," Megure Police Department said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, Conan, that little girl Ayumi Yoshida is your classmate, and she said that you sent her to the Sawaki Dental Clinic."

"Yes." Conan said, and then asked: "Mumu Police Department, what is the specific incident?"

"The victim, Mr. Nakamoto Katsuhiko, said that he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door at 7:29 last night, but he didn't know anything when he opened the door, and he didn't wake up until almost 8 o'clock." Mu Mu The police department said, "The problem is that he went to the Mihua Police Station to call the police in the morning, and he was hesitant to speak, so the Mihua Police Station reported the matter."

Conan asked: "Megure Police Department, are you suspicious of Dr. Sawaki now?"

"Doctor Sawaki?" Megure Police Department laughed, "Although she has a motive, she has a clear alibi..."

Maori interjected, "What motive?"

"Nakamoto Katsuhiko was arrested in a village in Yamanashi Prefecture 20 years ago on suspicion of abduction and murder. A nine-year-old boy was killed at the time, but Mr. Nakamoto was not prosecuted because of insufficient evidence. In this way, he was released." Megure Police Department said, "The boy who was killed had a younger sister who was only seven years old at the time, and she is now Miss Sawaki Yoko."

Mori rubbed his chin and said, "That is to say, if Yoko Sawaki finds something that puts Mr. Nakamoto in a disadvantageous situation, she has a very good motivation to steal it."

"It's impossible. It takes about fifteen minutes to drive from Ms. Sawaki Yeko's clinic to her apartment building. Mr. Nakamoto said that when he was in a coma in the apartment, he had just finished a phone call. After 7:29, he woke up around 7:40. At around 7:30, Ayumi said that she was watching TV with Dr. Sawaki in the lounge of Sawaki Dental Clinic, Ten minutes is too short, and there is no time to rush back to the apartment from the clinic." Megure Police Department said, "That is to say, Dr. Sawaki woke up Ayumi at 7:30 and watched Kamen Rider with her, so that she had some time. Perfect alibi."

"If there is no Ayumi's testimony, then she will have plenty of time... By the way, I know," Maori stood up and said excitedly, "I know, Meguro Police Department, let's go, we are now Just go to Ms. Sawaki's apartment, my name is Detective Mori Kogoro, and I will reveal her alibi in front of her." Saying that, I rushed downstairs first.

"Apartment?" Conan laughed softly, "Uncle Maori grasped the key point right away this time, and it seems that his mind has improved because of the bonus."

The three went downstairs, just in time to see Yamazaki, Mei Daizi, Lan and Yuanzi coming back from school.

Conan immediately asked: "Brother Yamazaki, we are going to Dr. Yoko Sawaki's apartment, do you want to go together?"

"By the way, Yamazaki, you come with me too," Mouri, who had already got into the back seat of the police car, stuck his head out of the car and said, "I have something to ask you."

"Okay, Uncle Mouri." Yamazaki smiled, and then smiled at Mei Daizi, "Help me take the bag back." After saying that, he handed the schoolbag to Mei Daizi, and then got in the car and sat next to Maori. Conan followed suit, and Meguro Police Department sat in the passenger seat.

Maori asked: "When did you send Dr. Asai away last night, why didn't I know?"

"You went upstairs to deliver the beer." Yamazaki whispered in Maori's ear, and then said, "It was after seven o'clock." Then he asked, "Is there any problem, Uncle Maori?"

The Mumu Police Department said: "We suspect that she is related to a robbery incident. Please tell me in detail."

"That's it," Yamazaki said, "Dr. Asai came to the Mei Dai Restaurant with Dr. Conan wearing Dr. Sawaki's shoes. Later, she wanted to go back to the clinic to change them back, but my mother asked me to send her there because it was getting late. We I went to the clinic and found that she was not there. We called her on the mobile phone, and she said that she had something to do and asked us to go to her house at 8:30. Then I waited with Dr. Asai in the fast food restaurant next to Mihua Park until 8:10 Left and right, then Dr. Asai got into the car and went to Dr. Sawaki’s apartment, and I walked back to the Mei Dai Restaurant. I think the workers in the fast food restaurant should remember us, because Dr. Asai once rented their fax machine.”

Mao Li stroked his chin and asked, "Megure Police Department, did Ayumi tell you when did she finish pulling her teeth?"

"I know," Conan said first, "Ayumi said it was around 7:05."

Megure police department said: "This is the time."

Mao Li said happily: "So, my deduction is not wrong." Then he asked, "Mugure Police Department, can this incident have that..." He rubbed the first three fingers of his right hand.

Raising his triangular eyes, the Mumu Police Department said angrily: "There is no loss at all, this is the most." He raised a finger while speaking.

"So little?" Maori said discouragedly, "Well, it's better than nothing."...

Dr. Sawaki's apartment, the door of the apartment was wide open, and the smell of detergent could be smelled before entering the door. Mori yelled: "No, she destroyed all the evidence." He rushed in first.

Yoko Sawaki came out of the room, stood in front of Moori who had just put on slippers, and asked, "Megure police department, who are you?"

Megure police department introduced: "Doctor Sawaki, this is detective Mori Kogoro, and this is his assistant Yamazaki."

"Mori Kogoro!" Sawaki Yoko said in surprise, "It's the sleeping Kogoro in the last TV live broadcast..."

Mao Li said happily: "Yes, I am the sleeping Kogoro..."

Sawaki Yoko continued: "That moldy star?"

"Uh..." Maori was stunned. Police Department Megure, Yamazaki, and Conan laughed together.

"Sorry, Mr. Mori." Yoko Sawaki smiled.

"No, it's okay." Maori said with the corners of his mouth twitching.

"Do you have a toothache?" Yoko Sawaki asked, "How about I help you?"

"..." Maori was completely speechless.

"Cough!" Megure Police Department said: "Doctor Sawaki, I'm sorry to disturb you without notice."

Sawaki Yoko stepped aside and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, please come in."

"Doctor Sawaki, are you cleaning up?" Mori asked.

"That's right," Dr. Sawaki said, "Because I was called in by the police for questioning in the morning, I pushed back the appointment for today's clinic, and after being questioned by the police, it was already almost noon, so I just invited a cleaning company to come. Cleaning up, they just left." Then he said, "Please sit down, I'll make coffee."

"Please wait a moment, don't bother you to make coffee, please listen to my reasoning now," Mouri said, "Because the person who went to Katsuhiko Nakamoto's house to steal is you, Yoko Sawaki."

The Mumu Police Department said: "But Brother Maoli, she has an alibi."

Maori said: "Police, she called Ayumi up last night to see the location of Masked Superman. In fact, it was not in the clinic, but here. That is to say, after she pulled Ayumi's teeth, she took advantage of the anesthetic injection The effect of the medicine brought her here." Then he pointed to a room, which was different in style from the other rooms in the apartment, full of childishness, and there was a pack of Kamen Rider playing cards on the table, and Sawaki Yoko Said, "I think this is the room. It's easy for you to wake up Ayumi, show her the beginning of Kamen Rider, and then put her in a coma.

Conan interjected, "Ayumi said she fell asleep shortly after taking the painkiller."

"That's sleeping pills." Mori said, "Dr. Sawaki, after you stole something from Nakamoto Katsuhiko's house, you took Ayumi back to the clinic, and then woke her up to let her watch the ending of Kamen Rider. "

"Very good, right in the heart." Conan muttered softly.

Yamazaki whispered: "The reasoning is correct, but it's a little late, the evidence has been cleaned up."

"Not too late." Conan smiled, "There is one more."

"That's very good, as expected of Brother Mori." Police Department Megure smiled, and then asked, "Miss Sawaki Yoko, do you have anything to say?"

Sawaki Yoko asked: "Detective Maori, your speculation is very reasonable, but do you have any evidence?"

"Uh..." Maori was stunned.

The Mumu Police Department asked: "Brother Maoli, don't you have any evidence?"

"There is evidence, Megure Police Department," Mouri said with a wry smile, "Ayumi must have left her hair or something on the sofa she was lying on, and she might have touched something in the room, but now she is called The cleaning company came, and the evidence must be gone."

Conan interjected again: "By the way, I heard from Ayumi that because she was afraid of toothache, she took a masked Superman playing card from the table as a talisman before the tooth extraction, and put it back when watching TV after the tooth extraction."

Seeing the change in Sawaki Yeko's face, Mori smiled and said, "Megure Police Department, the cleaning company doesn't know how to clean playing cards. There must be Ayumi's fingerprints on them, and maybe there will be one more."

The Megure Police Department immediately stepped forward to check, and after a while, found two identical cards from the playing cards, and asked, "Miss Sawaki Yoko, what else do you have to say?"

Sawaki Yoko said: "I have nothing to say."

Mumu Police Department said: "Then please come with us."

"Detective Maori, you really deserve your reputation." Said Sawaki Yoko.

"Of course, I'm the famous detective Mori Kogoro." Mori said and laughed.

Sawaki Yeko said again: "Kid Conan, you did a good job too, no wonder Ayumi said you are also a detective."

"Where, where." Conan said embarrassingly, and then seeing Sawaki Yoko's calm face, he immediately raised his heart, something is wrong. ...
