After leaving the villa, Yu Shaoshen Zi and Hayama Rie returned home.

The next day, the two set off for Paris, started a week-long trip, and came back after playing for a week. The time for the last final exam of the freshman year is coming soon.

"It just so happened that we went to pick up that sculpture tonight, so you can study with peace of mind tomorrow." Yu Shaoshen Zi talked to her junior sister while looking at the route on the navigator.No way, who made the other party's address so biased? !

It was supposed to be done before going on a trip, but...

Hayama Rie was a little unhappy, "That antique collector is really dark enough." Seeing that they really wanted to buy it, she raised the price again and again, or her senior sister insisted, and she wanted to give up.

It's really disappointing to have a good birthday and encounter such a disgusting thing!

That is to say, the two of them never brought the means of the other world into the world of ordinary people. If it were her "old friends" who encountered this situation, that collector would have gone to see Hades long ago.

For both of them, money is just a number, just be happy.

But the crux of the matter is that she is very unhappy now!

It’s fine if you ask for a high price at the beginning, but if you increase the price little by little, you always go back and forth. Every time when the two parties are about to negotiate, they suddenly go back on their word, which is too annoying.

Yu Shaoshen Zixin wasn't too happy, but seeing that her junior sister liked the sculpture so much, she endured it, "Okay, the thing is coming soon, so don't think about it so much, if the other party continues to be ignorant this time , we won’t accompany you.” If you really want that sculpture, you don’t necessarily have to buy it.

Rie Hayama nodded reluctantly.

The two soon arrived at the residence of the antique collector named Maru Denjiro.

As soon as they turned the corner, they realized that something was wrong.Why did the car from the Metropolitan Police Department appear here? !

After walking over and asking, I found out that, just ten minutes before the two of them arrived, Marudenjiro was discovered by his wife Maru Ineko and died in his home.

Hayama Rie and Yu Shaoshen Zi looked at each other, and they both secretly said "bad luck".

The Mumu Police Department, who was preparing to interrogate the three suspects inside, heard their subordinates report the situation outside, and immediately invited the two of them in, obviously treating them both as suspects.

"You are..." Rie Hayama hesitated, "Brother Suwa?" Unexpectedly, on this occasion, since you can still meet acquaintances? !

"It's Murasaki and Megumi?" Suwa Yuuji took a closer look before he recognized them, "It's been a long time."

When he was young, he studied at the Sanada Dojo in Kanagawa Prefecture, and Hayama Rie and Yushao Shenzi, because of the friendship of their elders, often went there as guests. The two parties dare not say how close their relationship is, but there is always some friendship .

"Sister Xiaohui, do you know this uncle?" Edogawa Conan relied on his childish appearance to inquire about the relationship between the two parties, "You must have a good relationship, right?"

This is what Megure Police Department and Mori Kogoro wanted to know, so they didn't stop them.

"I just met a few times before." Rie Hayama didn't seem to notice the probing gazes of the crowd, and replied with a chuckle, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen each other for five or six years since my senior brother came to Tokyo!"

That means there is no possibility of collusion!Meguro Police Department and Mori Kogoro thought to themselves.

However, don't take it lightly, maybe the other party is lying? !

"Excuse me, what is the purpose of the two of you coming here today...?" The Mumu police department first explained the situation briefly, then adjusted the brim of their hats, and interrogated several suspects in turn. According to the order in which they arrived, Yu Shaoshen Zi And Rie Hayama came last.

Yu Shaoshen Zi frowned slightly, "My junior sister likes a Panlong sculpture collected by Mr. Maru very much. It just so happens that she is going to celebrate her birthday soon, so I plan to buy it for her. I told Mr. Maru a week ago. After this matter, I have transferred the money to his account this morning, and now I am here to pick up the goods."

"What?!" Hearing what he said, the down-and-out sculptor Ajiu Jincheng exploded before the Mumu police department said anything, "That bastard! How could he sell this work without authorization?!"

"Ah! That's it." Hayama Rie ignored him, looked around the room, and quickly found his target on the cabinet, couldn't help showing a smile, and was about to come over and take it down.

Ajiu Jincheng stood in front of her without thinking, "No! Don't move! This is my master's work! I won't sell it!"

"I'm afraid it's up to you!" Yu Shaoshen Zi sneered, looked at the Megure police department, and confirmed to him, "If I'm not mistaken, according to Japanese law, if Mr. Akutsu fails to repay the loan on time, the collateral should be returned to him. Mr. Maru owns it. And I have already paid, and Mr. Maru has agreed to the transaction, so this sculpture should be mine. Right?!"

The Mumu police department first winked at their subordinates and asked him to confirm Yushaoshenzi's statement, and then coughed lightly, "From a legal point of view, this is indeed the case! However, this work appeared in the murder case At the scene, it may become an important physical evidence, please accommodate me, let us complete the evidence collection first."

Yu Shaoshen Zi glanced at her junior sister and saw that she had no objections, so she said, "I hope we won't be made to wait too long."

However, Rie Hayama had no objection, but Makoto Akutsu had a lot of opinion. He shouted excitedly, "No! I don't agree! This is my thing! That bastard Marudenjiro sold the thing without my consent, This deal doesn't count! You have no right to take it away!"

"Mr. Akutsu, please don't hinder our police from handling the case." Megure Police Department said with a slight warning.

He's not interested in the carving, nor does he care where it ends up, but if someone gets in the way of his work, don't blame him for being rude.

"According to the testimonies of Mori Kogoro, Xiaolan and Conan who were guests at the deceased's house when the murder happened, someone once visited the deceased at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the deceased took the guests to the private room and never came out again. After about Two hours later, the servants who returned home found the body of the deceased."

The sharp eyes of the Mumu Police Department slowly passed over the several suspects, "That is to say, the time of the incident is between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] this afternoon, and the murderer should be the few people who met the deceased today." among."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone naturally denied it.

"If this is the case, the matter has nothing to do with us." Before waiting for Mori Kogoro to reason wildly, Yu Shaoshen Zi interjected first, "My junior sister and I took a week-long trip in Paris before. , I got off the plane at two o'clock this afternoon, went home, put my luggage away, and came over right away, all of this is shown on my driving recorder, you can send someone to investigate."

He was secretly glad that he replaced the memory card with a new one after he got off the plane, and there was nothing shady in it.

The Mumu Police Department nodded, and casually pointed to a police officer to investigate, but in his heart he had already removed the two from the list of suspects.If they were the ones who killed them, they could have taken the carving away directly, why bother to go back and forth again? !

There is no reason at all!

Edogawa Conan also felt that these two people would not be the murderer, so he focused on the other three people.

"Everyone, don't worry, I already have the answer in my heart!" Mori Kogoro looked at the messy room with knife marks everywhere, and after talking nonsense, he finally locked the murderer on Suwa Yuuji , "It has long been heard that some murderers will return to the scene after killing, it seems that you are no exception?"

"No! You misunderstood." Suwa Yuuji defended coldly, "How could I kill him?!"

"Huh? How strange!" Mao Lilan interrupted the conversation between the two, "Look, his posture of holding the knife seems to be reversed."

So they ruled out Suwa Yuuji's suspicion based on the posture of the deceased holding the knife and the abnormal traces of fighting on the ceiling in the room, and concluded that someone was framing him, and the other party knew that he would visit today.

Coincidentally at this time, the police officer sent to check the driving recorder also came back, and the other party confirmed that what Yu Shaoshenzi said was true, so that the alibi between him and Rie Hayama was established.

"Can we go?" Yu Shao Shen Zi asked.

The Mumu Police Department said in embarrassment, "Well... I still have to delay the two of you for a while. The on-site investigation will take some time. Of course, if the two of you are in a hurry, you can leave first. The sculpture will be picked up at the police station later. That's it."

"That's mine!" Ajiu Jincheng yelled unwillingly.

Rie Hayama sneered, "You should find a way to clear yourself of the suspicion first, and then worry about the statue!"

The Megure Police Department ignored the two sides who were arguing, but asked everyone for their alibi. It turned out that Hatano Ikuya, Suwa Yuji and Akutsu Makoto were all suspected. That is Mrs. Maru having an affair.

And after being bombarded by Edogawa Conan, everyone knew that Dr. Hatano was her affair partner.

In this way, there is a possibility that the two will commit crimes in partnership and seek to seize Maru Denjiro's property.

However, after listening to the message on the phone, the situation changed again. The three people who were supposed to visit at different times unexpectedly arrived at the same time, and Akutsu Makoto's message was deleted by someone. In the messy house, only the sculpture is intact, which makes people have to doubt it.
