[Comprehensive] If you have money, you can do whatever you want

"...In summary, who is the prisoner in this case, I think you should already have the answer."

Putting one hand on his chin, Sakuraba Chitose said with a smile.

Looking at Conan, this smile matched Okiya Subaru who was smiling quietly behind him.

He broke out in a cold sweat for no reason, and his trembling hands almost missed the bowknot voice changer in his pocket.

The clues provided by Chitose Sakuraba did not actually come from her.

Just a few minutes ago, when she was reading the magazine earnestly, the Hyotei Tennis Club, who was blocked by Atobe alone in the corner, huddled tremblingly and apologized to him.Yushi Ninzu finally had the opportunity to explain to his companions that what was written in that magazine was not true, it was all fabricated.

"Pity."

"What, it's not true."

"That's really nice...ah no no no, I mean it's a pity."

Not to mention the different feelings of the teenagers, when they relaxed and began to pay attention to the progress of the case, one person suddenly mentioned a certain key matter.

"Hey, since Yushi went to the convenience store like those three people, did you meet them on the way?"

The person who asked the question was a boy with red hair, Chitose remembered that his name was Xiang Hiyake.

"That's right, since the police said that the prisoner paid the money at 54:[-], Yushi must have bought it around that time, and he will definitely meet."

what……

speak up.

Chitose Sakuraba recalled that the time when she and Keigo Atobe walked into this shopping mall happened to be about ten o'clock. Since the teenagers followed her and Keigo all the way, it should be exactly one o'clock when Yushi Shinozu went to the convenience store. Left and right - probably after the prisoner.

However, the blue-haired boy with a Kansai accent just shook his head: "I haven't met any of them."

"Eh? Why are you so sure?"

He just glanced at things when he was shopping, and even with his excellent memory trained by playing tennis, he might not be able to remember everyone.

"that is because--"

Shinobu Yushi pretended to be deep and said, "At that time, there happened to be an old lady who thought that the salesperson in the store was short of change, and argued with him for a long time. For this reason, everyone's eyes were attracted by the old lady, and the owner probably also That’s why I don’t remember who bought the toilet cleaner.”

Rijiruo heard that something was wrong, and asked, "What about you? If you haven't seen it, how can you be sure that you haven't met anyone?"

"Because the shelf where I bought the mask is next to the shelf of toilet cleaners. Although it was only a short moment, I still saw it-the cleaners placed in sequence were full, and there was no shortage of bottles at the front."

"……Eh?"

"Oh, have you all forgotten? Usually when we go to a convenience store to buy things, don't we always pick the outermost and closest goods? So the salesperson usually puts the oldest production date on the outermost. If it was before me Someone bought a toilet cleaner, so there must be one bottle missing on the shelf. And at that time, the shopkeeper and the salesperson had been arguing with the old lady. When I arrived, the argument had been going on for a long time, so how could I have time to adjust the shelves?"

"It was so it was so."

Xiang Riyue stretched his brows to express his understanding.

"Then the murderer bought it after you?"

Shinobu shrugged: "Probably."

But unfortunately, he forgot to take his shopping receipt because he was following him at the time and felt guilty and flustered.The convenience store has already lost all the receipts that were forgotten by customers, and the police can't find them, and Yushi Ninzu has no way of knowing the exact time when he bought the mask.

Feng Changtaro looked sad: "It's a pity. It could have been a piece of evidence."

"Well, don't worry."

Shindo Ryo put his arms around Akutagawa Jiro who was about to fall asleep (his enthusiasm for gossip disappeared after he found out that Sakuraba Chitose and Atobe were not engaged), and comforted them, "With the police here, we can definitely catch them right away. Yes."

makes sense.

Thinking of this, the teenagers are no longer discouraged.

"..."

Sakuraba Chitose closed the magazine expressionlessly.

She has seen the crumpled shopping receipt that Conan fished out of the toilet wastebasket, and she has also heard the testimony of the three suspects, combined with Yushi Ninzu's words.

Chitose closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She probably... knows who the culprit is.

Originally wanted to tell Megure Police Department directly, but as soon as she stood up, Chitose noticed Okiya Subaru and Edogawa Conan who were staring at her closely not far away. Focusing on evidence, a face suddenly flashed in her mind.

Conan was exactly the same as him who was obsessed with reasoning at that time, calmly and completely unlike a seven-year-old elementary school student.

The footsteps that went out slipped slightly, and turned to Conan's direction.

Chitose didn't plan to tell the police anymore, she wanted to know if this young detective could deduce the truth given enough information.

……

"I walked into this mall at ten o'clock. Judging from the distance between the convenience store and the mall and the time of payment, the time for Ren Zu to arrive at the convenience store will not be earlier than 54:[-]."

"How, is this information enough?"

The dark-haired woman squatted in front of him, smiling and asking questions.

Ah!

Sure enough.

The broken truths are connected, as if the fog is blown away, revealing the clear patterns at the bottom, making people discover that everything is so simple.

Conan and Okiya Subaru showed a confident smile at the same time. Although they hadn't spoken yet, Haibara Ai, who was watching them from the side, knew that the case had been solved.

Then, Conan quickly called the Megure Police Department, sang with Okiya Subaru and started their reasoning.

"The murderer is you, Miss Osu!"

Conan pointed at the heavily made-up woman among the three and shouted.

"Huh? What are you kidding me?! Didn't I tell you that I only bought toilet paper? You can see clearly that the receipts are all here. It's [-]:[-], which is more than a dozen times earlier than the toilet cleaner ticket stubs." Minutes! Why am I the murderer! Hey, officer, what's going on with this brat!"

The woman who worked in the same Internet cafe as the deceased frowned and rolled her eyes at Conan.

Okiya Subaru spoke gently: "It is true that you bought toilet paper at the convenience store today, but... who said that toilet cleaner must be bought today?"

"Varied……"

Officer Takagi's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he dug out the receipt from the inspector's evidence bag, only to realize that they had missed an important date.

Because it had been soaked in water, the handwriting on that piece of paper was a little blurred, but the preconceived inertial thinking made everyone subconsciously think that the goods were bought today.

In fact, 3 and 9 are easy to confuse under the premise that they are both printed fonts and are deliberately blurred by water into a ball of black paint.

Toilet cleaner is not bought today, December 12th.It was purchased six days ago, on December 19th.

"Please wait a moment, but the shop owner clearly said that he remembered a person in black clothes bought it."

Officer Takagi questioned.

Conan shook his head and said: "Officer Takagi may not know that at that time, there was an old lady in the store who was arguing with the salesperson and the store manager. Thanks to this, all the customers' eyes were attracted, and there were so many people wearing black clothes every day. It's normal for him to remember wrongly."

"So what you bought today does not conflict with whether you are the murderer. By the way, you went to the convenience store to buy other things and got a receipt, by the way, to clear the suspicion, right. But Unfortunately, Mr. Ninzuzu over there said that he bought the mask around one o'clock, and at that time, he clearly remembered that there was not a bottle of detergent on the shelf that was bought."

Miss Osu's face turned pale.

Conan continued: "The big sister's job is the night shift, just like the big brother over there who plays games on behalf of him. During the day—especially at noon, you can tell others that you are sleeping at home. No one would expect you to wake up at this time. Murder. First, find a reason to ask the deceased to come to the mall, take her to the toilet and kill her. Put a cleaning sign at the door of the toilet to ensure that no one comes in. Change the clothes worn by the murderer and soak them in the water pump , and then wipe the floor with the detergent and disinfectant hidden in the toilet cubicle. If the eldest sister is an employee of an Internet cafe, she must be very good at dealing with stains, because there will be many people smoking and eating bubbles in the smoking area of ​​​​the Internet cafe Well, those smoke and oil stains are hard to remove."

"But--"

Okiya Subaru pushed his glasses: "After cleaning up the ground, you put on the clothes you brought. Wash off all the blood splashed on your face, and then walk out swaggeringly, and sit at any counter to buy The reason for the cosmetics is to ask the cabinet sister to help me make up, and then I can leave—even if the body was found early and the police arrived, they probably would not have thought that a woman who was so neatly dressed just killed someone."

Miss Osu touched her face subconsciously, her lips trembling slightly: "What about the evidence? What you said are all just guesses! Just a bill to conclude that I am the murderer, the old man and this dead house did the same thing. Get it!"

"Of course there is evidence."

A sweet voice suddenly came from beside him, Daxu was taken aback, took a few steps back, but accidentally kicked the high heels out.

Conan looked at her shoes innocently, and began to perform: "Ah, why did the big sister kick off the shoes? Are all high heels like this so hard to wear? Ah, it hurts——"

Before finishing speaking, Hui Yuan Ai was hit on the top of the head. According to his request in advance, Hui Yuanai began to laugh: "Are you an idiot? Unless the size is wrong or there is no heel, otherwise all high-heeled shoes are impossible to fall off. Give me Apologize to women all over the world!"

Conan: "...I'm sorry."

Okiya Subaru looked over with a half-smile: "What we found in the toilet was bloody clothes and no shoes. Although it is not ruled out that the murderer deliberately lost the shoes, the police didn't find the shoes in the nearby trash can, isn't that true? It proves that the murderer was wearing these shoes when he committed the crime?"

"But," Officer Takagi said again, "these are ten-centimeter high heels! How can she wear them to kill people?"

"Simple, because I'm not talking about big sister's shoes."

Conan raised his eyes and said in a cute tone that sounded awkward to Chitose, "It's the shoes of the dead."

"……what?"

Noticing the sluggish expressions of Police Department Megure and Officer Takagi at the same time, Conan explained: "The reason why there are only bloody clothes and no shoes is actually because the criminal put the shoes worn by the deceased on the murderer, right? The two of them The size of her shoes is different, and she has been walking a bit strangely since just now. But the big sister doesn’t seem to notice that there are traces of cigarettes and instant noodles on the white sneakers worn by the deceased.”

Immediately understanding Conan's words, the young man with Internet addiction immediately raised his hand: "I don't smoke!!!"

The middle-aged man is the janitor of the elementary school. Because of the need of work, he must not smoke.Therefore, there is only one murderer.

"Do not……"

Realizing what exposed herself, Osu's face turned gray even through the thick foundation, she bit her lower lip tightly, and sat down on the chair.

"It's all her fault... If she didn't snatch my Ye Jun, I wouldn't..."

Osu began to cry, and it turned out that the boyfriend who had just broken up with the deceased was her ex-boyfriend. After the deceased came to work in the Internet cafe, he deliberately seduced her boyfriend by taking advantage of his work and took him away.As for why he didn't even want to go to work after the breakup, of course it was just an excuse. In fact, the deceased found a richer man and kicked Ye Jun.When Osu asked her to meet today, the deceased was still looking at the newly made nails, and said arrogantly:

"I only want to be with your man because he looks handsome. Who knows he is so poor. Now that we broke up and still pester me, I'm really fed up. Do you want to enlighten him for me? Don't always be ignorant Anyway..."

—and then she killed her.

The planned crime combined with burning rage allowed Osu to hit the dead man's main artery with one blow.What happened afterwards was just as Conan and others reasoned. She calmly cleaned up the scene and changed her face to make herself look brand new.

Hearing this, Chitose sighed faintly: "You idiot."

What a fool to send himself to jail for that kind of man.

The teenagers also shook their heads to express their regret.

Officer Takagi took Osu by the arm and led her away.Watching the farce end with cold eyes, Atobe stood up straight while the scene was still being cleaned up.

"Sakura, you can go."

"it is good."

One second before leaving, Sakuraniwa Chitose took one last look at Okiya Subaru.

……

"...Mr. Akai, do you know Miss Sakuraba?"

After returning to Kudo's residence as Dr. Ari's car, Conan asked the question that has been bothering him.

Okiya Subaru, or Akai Hideichi, added a piece of ice to the glass, poured the bourbon slowly, and heard his question in a leisurely manner.

"A piece of advice, you'd better not have too much contact with her."

Otherwise, it will be exposed.

The cold wine swallowed Akai Shuichi's unspoken words.

Conan's expression changed.

Mr. Akai said such things... Could it be that that person is a member of the organization? ! ! !

The author has something to say: There is a new cover hehehe.

Conan activates skills: See everyone is wine

Former victims Judy-sensei, Akai Shuichi, Kamel, Sera Masumi, Minamirena, Amuro Toru, etc. all praised it.

Shuichi actually wanted to say that Chitose is super sensitive, don't let her discover his (Shinichi) identity, Conan directly misunderstood.
