Chapter 426 After Shopping

May 5, Monday, afternoon, near the demolished abandoned building.

After the patrol car stopped, Police Officer Yumi came down with two, one, and three people. Conan knew everyone except an adult who was holding a child, because the child was holding a football in his hand, and the other adult was the unlucky owner of the car.

Officer Yumi smiled at the child and asked, "Is this the child?"

The child said: "Yes, this little brother snatched my football. Then he kicked the ball and broke the car. It's really amazing." He said with an expression of admiration and longing.

"Here," said Conan, "I..."

"Don't try to deny it, kid, many people have seen it." Officer Yumi laughed.

"Conan!" Seeing that Conan wanted to quibble, Lan was not happy.

"Yes." Conan lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "I did it."

Lan pointed to the convenience store owner who was standing not far away and said, "Officer Yumi, that's the guy who wants to harm a kid named Hiroshi, so..."

"Needless to say," Police Officer Yumi said, "I have already notified Miwako about this, she was at the Mihua Building just now, and she will be here soon." Then he shouted, "Hi! Where are you going?" He said and walked over.

The construction captain said nervously: "Police, police officer..."

Police officer Yumi asked: "Did you check whether there is anyone inside before the construction?"

"That..." The construction captain was speechless.

"It's gone?" Police Officer Yumi asked, "Which company do you belong to, and your name?"

Seeing that police officer Yumi was making records for the construction team, Conan asked in a low voice, "Sister Lan, did you call the police, I mean call?"

Lan said, "I happened to see Officer Yumi."

At this time, a red car with a siren came over and stopped, and Officer Sato and Officer Takagi got off from above.

After hearing what Conan said, Officer Sato asked Officer Yumi to let the construction team dig in the ruins to see if there was a body.

Not long after, the three detectives ran back.

At around 2:30 in the afternoon, the construction team found bloodstains, and a few minutes later found a body that was crushed into shape.

Officer Sato immediately reported to the above, and asked Officer Takagi to go with the detective team to find Xiaohong, and notify their guardians by the way to take them to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Also, do you need to notify the parents?" Yuan Tai felt itchy in her ears and buttocks.

"No, don't you want it?" Mitsuhiko was also uncomfortable.

"Sister Lan." Ayumi looked at Lan anxiously.

"It's useless to call Ran, Ran is only a high school student." Police officer Yumi said with a smile, "Conan needs to inform Detective Mori."

Conan touched the bandaged head that had just been removed this morning, and knocked again, would he be stunned?

Ran called, but it was Yamazaki who answered the phone, and then notified Mori, who was drinking beer and soaking in the bath. ...

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the Metropolitan Police Department searched a small meeting room in Section 1.

Gao Mu put down his pen, and smiled at the children and their parents: "Okay, you can go back, thank you for your help."

The parents of Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi immediately bid farewell and left with the three children who bowed their heads.

Officer Sato suddenly came to inform Xiaohong's mother and Mori, and Officer Yumi asked them to go to the Ministry of Communications, and then asked someone to take them there.

When he arrived, Conan found that the owner of the car was also with Officer Yumi. The U.S. police officer came to them to discuss the responsibility and compensation for the accident.

"What!" Maori exclaimed, "That convenience store owner did it, of course he is responsible."

"I'm sorry, no one saw this, but there are a lot of people who saw Conan damage the car." Police Officer Yumi said, "We temporarily believe that the car accident was caused by the owner forgetting to pull the handbrake. To."

Mao Li said: "Then you should be very clear, Conan is to save people, so the responsibility should be borne by the owner of the car."

"If my car hits a child, I will take the responsibility until the murderer is found, and I admit it." The owner said, "But the fact now is that my car didn't hit the child at all, but instead It was your child who broke my car. This is a new car I bought on loan. Now the front part of the car is seriously damaged, and the front window is also broken. It was seriously scratched, and I have lost a lot in this way."

"Crack!" Maori planted a small mushroom on Conan's head, "You boy."

"Father." Lan pulled Conan away from Maori.

This is already the third time, Conan raised his triangular eyes, I didn't mean to.

Maori asked the car owner, "By the way, isn't your car insured?"

"Of course I bought it, but the people from the insurance company came to see it and left, saying that it was a man-made accident that was not within the scope of compensation." If the handbrake hits a child, then it is an accident, and the insurance company will bear the corresponding responsibilities written in the insurance contract.'”

Xiaohong's mother asked, "So, how much do you want in total?"

The owner quickly said, "About 350,000 yen."

"What!" Maori and Xiaohong's mother were taken aback.

"In addition to the damaged lamppost, it will cost 50,000 yen to ask someone to replace it." Police Officer Yumi said, "However, in this car accident, the owner did not watch his car, so he also has to bear the responsibility." A quarter of the responsibility."

Xiaohong's mother asked, "Well, officer, when will you want the money?"

"Now I just want to inform you so that you have a mental preparation." Police Officer Yumei said, "If it is really found to be man-made, then he will bear the main responsibility."

Both Maori and Hiro's mothers breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. ...

Tuesday, May 6th, the last day of continuous rest, in the afternoon, Maori Detective Agency.

Maoli received a call from the Megure Police Department. He said that because of insufficient evidence, the convenience store owner would be acquitted.

"What!" Maori was taken aback, "How could this happen?"

"According to what Xiaohong and Conan said," Mumu Police Department said, "Xiaohong didn't see the body, and the four of them didn't see who locked them in the basement."

Mao Li asked, "Didn't you say that the convenience store owner knelt on the ground and confessed to Xiao Hiro?"

"We investigated this matter, but because of the construction on site, it was very noisy," Mumu police department said, "so the construction team members next to them only saw the convenience store owner kneeling in front of Xiaohong, and did not hear what was said. something."

"Ah? No way?" Maori was surprised again.

"Also, we visited Xiaohong in the morning and found that he didn't understand what the convenience store owner was saying to him at that time. Originally, the children were young, and their testimony could only be used as evidence. Now, their five children The testimonies are inconsistent, and this testimony is completely inadmissible." Meguro Police Department said, "And we have not found other evidence."

"..." Maori was speechless, then turned his head and glared at Conan angrily.

"Father." Lan shielded Conan behind him.

"There is evidence, Uncle." Yamazaki said, "The knife for cutting the rope, there should be ash from the cement pipe on the rope, and the knife must have been stained. In yesterday's situation, the prisoner should still have it with him, and it hasn't been washed yet."

"That's right." Maori immediately reported this matter to Mumu Police Department.

The Mumu Police Department said: "There is such a knife, I will have it tested immediately."

Conan said, "There are also anesthetics."

"Narcotics?" Maori was puzzled.

"Convenience stores don't sell medicines, so he definitely bought them temporarily from a store in the commercial street." Yamazaki said, "As long as you find out that the medicines he bought are consistent with the medicine residues in Xiaohong's inspection report yesterday, you can buy them." It means that he kidnapped Xiaohong and put Xiaohong next to the body in the basement of the abandoned building."

"Then he must be the murderer." Mao Li smiled, and then told the Mumu Police Department this clue.

"Very well, thank you, brother Maoli, I will contact you again." Mumu Police Department said, and then hung up the phone.

Maori hung up the phone and said to Conan: "If evidence is found, let's forget about this matter, otherwise, hum!"

"Conan, did you deduce this yourself?" Lan asked.

"Hey, hey," Conan said with a dry smile, "I heard Brother Yamazaki say it last night at Mei Dai Restaurant."

"So that's the case." Lan smiled. ...

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the Mumu Police Department called again. The evidence was found, and he hung up the phone after thanking Maori. Both Maori and Conan breathed a sigh of relief, one because they don't have to pay, and the other because they won't be fined.

However, ten minutes later, a police officer from the United States called and asked Maori to come to the Ministry of Communications to discuss compensation.

"What!" Maori and Conan were taken aback, "Didn't you plead guilty?"

"I don't know about this, but the main person responsible for the car accident has been identified as Conan." Police officer Yumi said with a smile, "Xiaohong's father has work tomorrow, Mr. Mori, is it okay at 5:20 this afternoon? Come here."

"Okay, okay, Officer Yumi." Mori yelled at Conan after hanging up the phone: "Conan!"

Conan poked his head out from behind Lan, "Uncle, Uncle, you said, just catch the murderer."

"Did I say that?" Maori gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't I remember."

Lan smiled and said, "Okay, Dad, Conan's mother gave so much living expenses." Then he took Conan back to the third floor and took 300,000 yen down, and handed it to Mao Li, "It's getting late, take Get the money, go quickly."...

At 5:20 p.m., the Traffic Department of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Officer Yumi introduces Hiroshi's father to Mori, and Mori is the last to arrive.

"My wife and I are very grateful to Conan for saving Xiaohong. Originally, we should pay all the remaining money, but we can't afford so much money at the moment, and now we can only pay 200,000 yen." Xiaohong's father He bowed to Maori, "I'm very sorry."

In this regard, Maori had nothing to say, so he could only accept the remaining 100,000 yen. After filling out a form, Mori took out 100,000 yen from his wallet and handed it to Police Officer Yumi reluctantly. The American police officer handed it over to the owner of the car and issued a ticket to the owner.

"Very good, another incident has been resolved." Police officer Yumi smiled, "Actually, you should be lucky. Fortunately, it was a street lamp, not a utility pole. If the power failure in the commercial street caused a power outage, the compensation would be more than hundreds of thousands of yen. .”

Thinking of that situation, the faces of the car owner, Xiaohong's father, and Mao Li all turned dark.

"Okay, you can go," Yumi said with a smile, "Remember to pay the ticket, and you will have to pay more when it expires." Then she said to Maori, "By the way, Mr. Maori, I asked Shiratori Police Department to bring it to you. Have you read the letter? You can bring Conan to class this Saturday, remember to bring the money with you."

This time, Maori's face turned even darker. ...
