My brother is FBI, and I am a crazy wife protector.

"It's true."

"Then, what my son said about seeing someone throw the bag containing Mr. Itagaki's body off the bridge is true."

"I didn't say anything."

"In that case, shouldn't we tell the police as soon as possible?

That is, because this brother is an important witness."

"The problem is, he said Itagaki Rock was a saw head or something, then he said the criminal had a nail pattern on his hand, and finally he said that he saw this situation at the same time as the car next to him. I saw a huge glowing hammer in the car. I want to ask you, do you think the police will listen to what the younger brother said seriously? Besides, he doesn't know which bridge the body was thrown from. "

"Why don't we drive Brother Qiao to recreate the scene of the day, maybe we can find out something? At least now we know that the river is the Diwujin River."

"That's right, he saw it on the bridge on the way to worship during the New Year. Mr. Zhugu, I think you should still remember which road you passed by?"

Yes, I think so."

"But, Yingyou, you are great. You can tell whether your younger brother is lying or not just by looking at his expression."

"No, that's nothing. My father often did this to me when I was a child. I just learned from him. It feels like the same way. ”

Finally, the car stopped at the Haido Shinbashi Bridge. Maori Kogoro looked at the two adjacent bridges not far away: "That's Haido Central Bridge, and the one beyond is Haido Ohashi Bridge."

"How is it, brother? Do you remember?"

"Then you should at least remember where the person with the body bag was standing?"

"I don't remember."

"Then, did you see any fireworks behind that person?"

"Hmm?"

"I think the fireworks should have been fired from this side. I think if we can confirm it, we can know which side of the bridge the suspicious person is standing on."

"How is it, Qiao?"

"Fireworks? By the way, I think that Qiao's brother said that he saw a big hammer, which was actually a firework reflected on the water."

"Ah? ”

“Yes, when fireworks are launched, they always leave a bright tail. You must have mistaken that for the handle of a hammer.”

“But then you can’t find the head of the hammer, right? When fireworks are launched, they look like tadpoles at best. Even if they explode, they look more like a frying pan than a hammer.”

“That seems to be true…”

“Wait a minute, I didn’t see any fireworks at all. I heard the sound but didn’t see it.”

“So, the suspicious guy wasn’t standing on the side where the fireworks were launched.”

“Well, sorry, I might have to interrupt. I think that might not be the case. That day, although I was sitting in the back seat, because the twoThe lanes are very congested, and my car is in the middle lane, so he may be in an angle that is blocked by the window of the car next to him. "

"I think we should go to the next bridge to take a look. This is the Beido Central Bridge in the middle of the three bridges."

Looking at the boy's distressed expression, Hondou Eisuke comforted him: "It doesn't matter how small the matter is."

"Excuse me. Hello, how are you. Sonoko? What's the matter?"

"Xiaolan, have you heard?"

"What's the matter?"

"What's the matter? What are you asking? Locke... Locke is dead."

"I just saw the news."

"I don't think he can remember the glowing hammer for the time being, so let's put it aside for now."

"Well, okay, okay, Sonoko, don't be sad and don't cry. By the way, Sonoko, do you know what the relationship is between Itagaki Rock and nails? Yes, it's a nail pattern that looks a bit weird. Huh? Sonoko, repeat it again.

"I said, when Rock was still in an independent band, the logo of their band was a nail, a pattern of a nail stuck in the head of a snake."

"Then, is there anyone with that logo tattooed on their body?"

"Yes, a lot of people, it seems that there is a band peripheral goods store that also provides tattoo services. As long as they are their fans, they must go there to ask them to help with tattoos. I remember it seems to be near the Haido Central Bridge."

Then the phone was hung up before Miss Sonoko could finish her words.

"Is it really not this pattern?"

"It does look like a nail pattern that makes people feel weird."

"Has the logo of this band changed to something else? ”

“Yes, you see, the thumbtack that fixed the flag on the lower right has fallen off, right? I think it must be preparing to put something else on it? And you see that the color of the wall part under the flag that has never been exposed to the sun is the same as the color of other places that have never been exposed to the sun. Doesn’t it mean that something was posted there for a long time, but it was taken down recently? ”

“How can you be so good? Brother, you are right, but it will not be restocked until next week.”

“It is this pattern, the pattern on that person’s hand is it.”

“So, has anyone tattooed this new pattern?”

“Yes, a few very loyal fans heard that the logo was going to be changed, and asked us to let them tattoo this new logo first. We found it, it is the three people above, from right to left are Mr. Kiritani, Mr. Yasuki, and this is Mr. Sekiuchi. Every customer who got tattooed would send us a photo later. ”

“By chance, do you think any of these three people look familiar to you?”

“It was so dark and he was wearing a hat so I couldn’t tell. But I saw the nail when the man was getting in the car to leave.”

“Car? Is the imported car that the man in the middle is leaning on his own car? ”

“Yes, he said he has been looking at it for ten years.”

“Is it this car? The color is also black, right? ”

I don’t know.”

“What about the hat on the right?”

“It doesn’t look like that.”

“By the way, why did the band’s logo suddenly change?”

“In fact, this logo was originally designed by Rock, who left the band to make his own debut. I heard that many fans are urging them to change the logo quickly. Now Rock has also had that kind of thing happen. I heard that Nail Snake will hold a memorial concert tonight. Although there have been some unpleasant things in the past, Rock is still a good friend of the leader.”

“Isn’t the person behind the person in the leftmost photo…”

“It’s Yoko Okino.”

“That’s not what I want to talk about. I mean, the coffee pot she’s holding is the one I told you about during the day when you buy filter coffee and you have a chance to win it. So, Yoko was asked to shoot the commercial.”

“The problem is that you didn’t see the commercial, so how did you find out?”

“This, thanks to it, It's a promotional vehicle. I took a picture of it with my phone because it's so cute."

"Wait, since there's a promotional vehicle for coffee pots, maybe there will be one too... No, that's unlikely."

"Can you lend it to me?"

"Sure."

"Hey, it's really cute. This coffee pot... ah, sorry, I think I accidentally pressed a button I shouldn't have pressed."

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Okay, now we're at the Beihu Bridge. I think you still can't remember which bridge you saw that suspicious guy on."

"I think we should go to the police station first. Although Qiao's testimony is a bit confusing, what he said is the truth after all."

"But I believe the police will keep asking questions, asking you what the glowing hammer is."

On the other side, Conan ran along the bridge looking at the shadow, and suddenly he found something.

"I see, that's what happened. I know who put Itagaki Rock in a bag and threw him down."

"But I really saw it. A really big, shiny hammer."

"Listen to me, little brother..."

"I think he was talking in his sleep."

"What?"

"It wasn't a dream."

"Although you happened to mention that Mr. Itagaki was thrown into the river, seeing Mr. Itagaki's face sticking out of the bag or having a nail tattoo on his hand must have been a dream. At that time, it should have been as dark as it is now, right? How could you see a person's face or tattoo?"

"That's right."

"Wait a minute. It could also be...it could be fireworks. As soon as the fireworks lit up the sky,You can see a lot of things. Aren't there fireworks on New Year's Eve? "

"So, the suspicious person should not be on the side where the fireworks can be seen, but on the other side, right? Because if you stand on the fireworks and try to go there, the backlight will create a shadow and the tattoo will be even more unclear."

"I see."

"But if it is on the other side of the bridge, even if you see the face exposed by the bag, you can't see what the tattoo on the person's hand is, right? Assuming that the car that Brother Qiao is sitting in is in the middle lane on this side, then the railing on your side is still some distance away."

"So I didn't say that I saw it when the person was about to get in the car and leave?"

"Then you mean that the tattoo on the person's hand was closest to Brother Qiao after he got in the car. But if he was sitting in the driver's seat, his hand should not be visible.

But I saw it. ”

“If I’m not mistaken, did that person stick his hand out of the window on the driver’s side?”

“Wait a minute, if that’s the case, the tattoo is on the right hand. If it’s the lane over there, it’s looking to the right from here, so it’s impossible to see the left hand. Okay, let’s go back to the tattoo shop and ask them to let us see the photos again.”

“Maybe it’s impossible. The shop said they’re going to hold a memorial concert today, so they’re going to close at six.”

“That’s right…”

“By the way, maybe Xiaolan’s phone accidentally captured something. Right? Am I right, Yingyou?”

“Yes, it really did. I don’t remember taking this photo. ”

“Well, I think it was when I accidentally pressed the button that it just happened…”

“Forget it, it can be considered as redemption. Thanks to this photo, we can rule out the man on the left who has a tattoo on his left hand. The suspects are locked on the two men on the right and in the middle.”

“Didn’t the criminal have a car? Then the person who took a photo with the car should be the suspect, right?”

“Stupid, maybe the man on the right also drove.”

“But, didn’t he say that he drove this imported car for ten years?”

“That means at most that the man loves to play with cars and likes to drive imported cars around. Imported cars? Imported cars are usually left-hand drive. From the opposite lane, the driver’s seat will be on the far side, and it’s dark inside so you can’t see clearly from this side. Xiaolan, lend me this.”

“But…but maybe he went to borrow a Japanese car that day. ”

“No, even if this man wants to borrow a car, he must borrow an imported car, because if he drives a right-hand drive car with a bag containing a corpse, he will be in trouble if something goes wrong.”

“So the criminal is…”

“The man with a hat on the right, I remember his name is Kiritani.”

“Then let’s tell the police and ask them to arrest him.”Right."

"No, we can't arrest him now, because we only have circumstantial evidence and no decisive evidence to confirm that he committed the crime. However, with these facts, the police should agree to follow up and question him, and he will confess sooner or later, as long as Qiaodi can testify. But don't mention that glowing hammer, okay?"

"I know."

"But I really, really saw it."

"Could he be talking about that building? Yes, if you connect the lights on both sides of the elevator, it looks like the handle of a hammer, doesn't it?"

"But how can a hammer look like a hammer without a head?"

"What does the head of a hammer look like?"

"There are many different shapes, some are long and cylindrical, and some have one end that can be used to pull out nails and look a bit like an upside-down boat. Speaking of upside-down, there are also those that have a bulge in the middle and look a bit like an upside-down coffee pot. ”

“Coffee… coffee pot?”

“Coffee… coffee pot? You, now that you mention it… As expected, you see, there are small light bulbs around the coffee pot, which means that the hammer is upside down, right?”

“Yeah.”

“So Brother Qiao combined the light bulbs of the coffee pot promotional car with the elevator lights of the building and saw it as a big hammer.”

“It turns out that I wasn’t dreaming, sorry, Brother Qiao.”

“It’s okay.”

“Why didn’t you say earlier that the hammer was upside down?”

“But wasn’t the firework released from this side? If the criminal was not standing on the fireworks side but on the other side, Qiao would not be able to see the building you just mentioned.”

“Yes, it can’t be seen from this bridge, but if it is from the Beihu Central Bridge that sandwiches the building, it should be visible. ”

“So, the criminal threw the bag with the body in it down from the Beihu Central Bridge.”

“That’s right. I think the evidence should be buried nearby.”

“What do you mean nearby?”

“The elevator in that building is round and protruding, so in order to see the lights on the other side forming two beams of light, you have to walk a little further after going up the bridge. However, if you walk too far, the coffee pot will be too tilted and will not look like a hammer. In other words, there is a certain range of where you can see the glowing hammer. With this in mind, we can actually roughly lock the location where the criminal threw the bag with the body, right?”

“But what evidence would be there?”

“I think, because the criminal lost his lighter at that time, we should at least be able to find the criminal’s fingerprints. Although he was wearing gloves when he lost the bag, if he got into the car and left immediately after losing the lighter, it means that he was bare-handed, and if he was wearing gloves that covered his wrists, Qiao Didi would not be able to see the tattoo. ”

“Will that person alsoGo to Mr. Locke's memorial concert?"

"That's very possible, but we have to find the evidence first."

Well, I thought of a very interesting way to make the criminal confess immediately."

In the parking lot of the memorial concert, Conan planned to set off fireworks there to lure out the criminal.

"What are you doing? This is a parking lot. If the car catches fire, it will be terrible."

"Excuse me, we are the police. Sorry to bother you, but could you please come with us?"

"Why?"

"Because someone said that they saw someone who looked like you throwing a bag with a body in it off the Beihu Central Bridge. They just confirmed it in that car, so it must be you, right?"

"Why? Did he see my face?"

"No, he didn't see your face, but your tattoo. Also, he said he seemed to hear your voice."

"You are talking nonsense. How could he hear my voice? There were fireworks at that time."

"You mean how could he hear the fireworks when they were so loud? Takagi, did you hear it clearly?"

"Yes, I heard it very clearly."
