Corpse collector in Conan

The group took Katori Akane's photo and went to inquire with someone near the place where the shoes were found, trying to find clues as to why the bride disappeared and where she went.

After walking around in a circle, a waitress finally remembered something: "I seem to have an impression. I remember she hurried into the windmill cabin alone, and I didn't pay attention to that place after that - it was about one o'clock in the afternoon."

With the exact time in hand, the next thing is clear.

"Alibis for kidnapping Miss Katori?" Grandma Oga chuckled, "Okay, since the detective wants to play this little game, let's cooperate a little bit - during that time, I have been doing the accounting in my room "

Dahe's father also cooperated: "My wife and I are also here with my mother."

The three eldest people spoke, and the others had no choice but to speak.

Sister Dahe: "I'm riding a horse at the racecourse."

Uncle Dahe said: "I'm drinking in the house." He celebrated his nephew's resignation in advance.

After Dahe's family members finished talking, there was only one person left.

Jiang Xia looked at the dark-skinned man: "What about you?"

Junichi Takahashi thought for a while: "I seem to be looking for someone at the Crystal Fantasy Theater - yes, that's it. I also took a few photos by the way. The hands on their flower bed clock are inlaid with glass, which is very beautiful. "

As he spoke, he took out his camera, found the photos he took and handed them to Jiang Xia as evidence.

The photo shows a beautiful flower bed with two long needles in the middle arranged in the shape of a clock. It may seem like an ordinary garden product, but it can actually be used to tell time. Judging from the time shown by the flower bed hands in the photo, it was indeed after 1 o'clock.

After asking all the questions, it seems like there is nothing gained. Jiang Xia handed the black-skinned man's camera to Conan and asked him to print out the photos. Then everyone dispersed and went about their business.

Maya Hashimoto sneaked away quietly on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Jiang Xia glanced at his watch, threw Wutian Dog over, and watched him leave.

Curacao glanced at it, then looked at it again, but couldn't help but came over and asked in a low voice: "What did you send him to do?"

She had to make some plans for her own safety in advance.

Jiang Xia: "I don't know, maybe I'm going to relax."

Curacao: “…”

Just at this time, Dahe's uncle passed by.

Jiang Xia caught someone and asked for information: "You seem to know something about Miss Katori's family?"

Uncle Dahe became interested when he heard this question: "You also suspect that the woman stole the ring?"

Jiang Xia: "I have to listen to the situation first to be sure."

Uncle Oga knew everything: "Anyway, you can ask elsewhere, so I'll tell you directly. Miss Katori's father was a well-known glassmaker in Nagasaki, but he passed away ten years ago. It seems that He committed suicide - some people said he committed suicide because our bank forced him to repay the money, and they also said that we were ruthless and unjust... Huh, it's simply unreasonable."

Suzuki Sonoko was passing by and heard it, and was startled: "Suicide?"

Uncle Dahe nodded: "He hanged himself in the glass workshop that my mother bought. Ten years ago, that workshop was still owned by Katori's father. At that time, he used his own glass workshop as a mortgage, and from our The bank borrowed a large sum of money, but later he paid it back, so the workshop became ours.

"It is natural to pay back debts, but some people actually maliciously speculated that my mother was urging him to pay back the money in order to get the workshop.

"And when Katori couldn't afford the money to commit suicide, he actually chose a glass workshop that no longer belonged to him to hang himself... Fortunately, our main sales market is in Tokyo, and no one cares about the products produced by glass workshops that have killed others. product, otherwise we would not only lose the loaned money, but even the recovered collateral would depreciate significantly - you tell me, how careless this family is, it’s true that the boy was so blinded by love that he only focused on I want to marry his daughter.”

Uncle Dahe provided a lot of information, and the more he talked, the more he got more and more arrogant, and he cursed and drank.

Just as Conan came back from his work, the hard-working primary school student found a few photos and handed them to Jiang Xia: "I printed the photos of Dahe's family together. Let's go to various places to confirm their alibi first—— We must first find the missing Miss Katori.”

…

Unexpectedly, after asking around, it turned out that when Akane Katori was kidnapped, everyone in the Dahe family had alibi.

——Grandma Dahe and Dahe’s parents were staying together at the time. Uncle Dahe was chatting with a beautiful waiter he had just met while drinking. Sister Dahe had an outstanding temperament, and the service staff at the racecourse were very impressed with her. All had alibi.

"Could it be...could it be true?" Suzuki Sonoko followed Jiang Xia and saw many strange cases. She whispered to the detective, "So, the flower language of the hydrangea in the background of the photo is also very suspicious, 'change your mind when you see something strange'" , could it be that he was very concerned about Miss Katori’s fiancé and accidentally went astray? "

Jiang Xia: "It's possible. But isn't there another person?"

Suzuki Sonoko: "Huh?"

Jiang Xia: "The glass craftsman we met on the Shinkansen."

Suzuki Sonoko: "But I remember that he went to the Crystal Dream Theater and took a picture of the clock in the flower bed at the door as evidence. He was the only one who had produced evidence before."

Mao Lilan didn't know when she came over. She had encountered a lot of cases recently. When she heard this, she couldn't help but whisper: "It's a bit suspicious to say that. It's obvious that everyone else in the Dahe family seems to be indifferent. , he is a person who should be the least concerned but proves himself very hard."

Conan stood on tiptoe: "..." Why do you have to stand so high and whisper? Can't you squat down and say it? High school students are amazing!

Jiang Xia raised her hand to hold down the bouncing primary school student: "Just go to the Crystal Dream Theater and see."

…

The group then went to the Crystal Dream Theater, which is where Junichi Takahashi said he was at that time.

Once here, the two detectives saw the problem.

Even Suzuki Sonoko tilted her head. She stared at the flower bed clock at the door: "I always feel something is a little weird..."

Jiang Xia found the self-identification photo taken by Junichi Takahashi when he came here, and compared it with the real flower bed in front of him.

Mao Lilan was surprised and said: "Why are the colors of the flower beds different... No, it's because the angle is crooked!"

Curacao was following them silently. When she heard these words, she raised her head, glanced at the photo, and immediately understood the problem.

Although the clock on this flower bed will show the time, there is no specific scale on the edge of the flower bed.

Junichi Takahashi did not stand directly in front when taking pictures, but deliberately stood a little crooked. The original time he took the photo was 2:05 noon, but with such a subtle change, the time shown in the photo looked like 1:05.
