Chapter 1198: The Incident of the Old Sofa

December 7, Saturday, afternoon, Miyamoto's house, living room.

After hearing what Yamazaki said about the situation, Miko Miyamoto smiled and said, "It's really interesting that he actually challenged you to a martial arts competition."

"Anyway, it's finally resolved a period of grievances." Yamazaki said, "Minister Odagiri's character is good, but it doesn't mean that his descendants are like him."

"That's right." Miko Miyamoto said.

Looking at the time, Yamazaki said, "By the way, the evening paper is almost here. I'll get it."...

The international edition of the Evening News carried news about the report of the Iraqi weapons investigation, which the team submitted a 12,000-page report. ...

Regarding the ransom incident, Mr. Fan Chuan and the five of them honestly explained all the situation. They bought a pistol and two bombs through foreign websites on the Internet because their family really needed money and had no other choice. , and exchanged some criminal methods, but one day, the weapons were really delivered to the home, so they decided to take the risk.

The police found the website that Mr. Fan Chuan mentioned. The police sought the assistance of the police in the country and confirmed that it was a website for gun lovers. However, the creator of the website did not admit to selling arms. He only said that someone might be trading privately through chatting on the website. No relationship.

Mr. Fan Chuan did not know who was the middleman who collected the money. The police asked the police in the country for assistance to confirm that the phone number was a family's prescribed phone number, but the family refused to admit it, and the local police did not ask anything.

The clues were broken, but there were indeed financial service personnel who approached Mr. Fan Chuan's family of five with legal trust assets, which amounted to more than 8.4 billion yen.

Later, the five of Mr. Fan Chuan attempted to use fake explosives to create chaos in public places, arrest and imprison postal personnel, use explosives to kill serving police officers in public places after prior notice, and attempted to rob a post office with guns due to organized activities. , Arrested and imprisoned serving police officers who demanded ransom and turned themselves in. They were sentenced to fixed-term servitude ranging from 20 to 30 years.

The five Mr. Fan Chuan stayed there for ten to twenty years before being released on parole. ...

December 21, Saturday, morning, Dr. Ali's home.

The countdown to the new year has entered the countdown stage, and Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko pulled Conan and Haibara to talk about New Year strategies.

I heard the TV broadcast without any opinion, and another family in Akebono Town was broken into by a thief, so Genta proposed to catch the thief tomorrow, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko agreed, and Conan and Haibara became the few who were obeyed.

However, Haibara just yawned lazily, said two words, and if he didn't go, he withdrew from the group living event, which made Conan's teeth itch. ...

Sunday, December 22, morning, Akebonocho bus stop.

After getting out of the car, Yuan Tai waved his hands to encourage morale, "Okay, let's act."

Mitsuhiko said with a smile: "We will definitely catch the thief who broke through the empty door."

Ayumi asked, "Really, Conan?"

"Hmm." Conan said, thinking at the same time, it's not up to me to decide.

"Conan, what are you doing?" Yuan Tai slapped Conan on the back, "Cheer up."

"Yes!" Conan yelled, and then raised his triangular eyes, which hurt a lot.

At this time, a car drove by, and Conan found that the person inside was Officer Takagi, and immediately chased after him excitedly. The criminal police from the Metropolitan Police Department came here, there must be an incident.

"Where is Conan going?" Yuan Tai was puzzled.

"Maybe I found some clues." Mitsuhiko said.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up." Ayumi said. ...

Moments later, outside a junkyard.

Conan saw from a distance that Officer Takagi stopped the car and entered, and became more firm in his speculation.

And seeing the second-hand recycling bin, Mitsuhiko couldn't help laughing.

Ayumi asked curiously, "Mitsuhiko, what are you laughing at?"

Mitsuhiko smiled and said, "It's that junk recycling bin.

"

"What happened to that?" Yuan Tai asked.

Conan said: "It's a good way to sell things that you don't use but can still use to others, and cherish limited resources."

Ayumi said: "It's just that I don't know who used those things before, which makes people feel bad."

Yuan Tai said: "Well, I also think it's better to use my own things."

Mitsuhiko said with a smile: "If you are like Yuantai and use everything until you can no longer use it, then this kind of shop will be closed."

"Cut," Yuan Tai said angrily, "I also cherish resources."

While talking, the four of them ran to the junk recycling bin.

Ayumi asked, "Conan, what are we doing here?"

Conan smiled and said, "You will know when you go in and have a look." As he said that, he went in and found that Officer Takagi was talking with some people inside.

Yuantai and the others followed in, and after seeing it, they immediately cheered excitedly: "Officer Takagi!"

"You, why are you here?" Officer Takagi turned into a bitter face.

Yuan Tai said proudly: "We are here to help your police catch the thief who broke into the empty door."

Conan is speechless, he hasn't caught it yet, don't be so complacent, okay?

Ayumi asked, "Officer Takagi, did something happen here?"

Mitsuhiko said: "If you need our help, just say it."

Officer Takagi sighed, "Okay, okay." Then he said something about the incident.

This morning, the store's receivers found the remains of an elderly woman in a three-seater sofa while sorting out their returned items.

"Huh?" Conan and the others were surprised.

Conan asked: "There is a person in the sofa, didn't you know it when you moved?"

Receiving Worker A said: "We really didn't notice it at the time."

Receiving worker B said: "We thought it was a material problem, you know, some three-seater sofas are very heavy."

Yuan Tai asked: "You can't do it, can you?"

"No, no." The store manager sweated.

Police officer Takagi said: "It is preliminarily inferred that the time of death was between 2:00 and 4:00 yesterday afternoon, and according to the receiving workers, they hadn't got the sofa at that time."

Mitsuhiko asked, "Where did you get that sofa?"

The receiving worker said, "It's at the second-hand goods recycling yard in Akebono-cho 3-chome."

Yuan Tai said: "Okay, let's go there and have a look."

"Chiba and I have already been to the second-hand goods recycling yard in Akebono 3-chome, but we have not found any witnesses. Chiba is still investigating there." Police Officer Takagi said to Receiving Worker A and Receiving Worker B, " I came back just to ask you to come with me."

"That's no problem." Receiving Worker A said immediately.

"That's right, no problem." Receiving Worker B said.

"Then please." Officer Takagi said. ...

In Officer Takagi's car.

Yuan Tai asked: "By the way, Officer Takagi, wasn't your car bombed?"

Mitsuhiko asked, "Is this your new car? Doesn't it look new?"

Officer Takagi said: "This is not my car, it is the machine search car I applied for, so it is not new."

"That's right." Ayumi said. ...

Akebono 3-chome second-hand recycling yard.

Seeing the four of Conan getting off Officer Takagi's car, Officer Chiba looked at Officer Takagi, meaning why did you bring them too?

Officer Takagi shrugged helplessly, meaning that there was nothing I could do.

Conan understood it, pretended not to see it, and changed the subject, "Officer Chiba, you are here, do you have any clues?"

"That's right." Police Officer Chiba smiled, "I thought the forensic officer said the sofa was clean, so I thought it must have been cleaned, and the sofa couldn't be lifted by one person, so I thought, yes Not a housekeeping company."

"And then?" Officer Takagi asked.

"I asked someone to ask. Yesterday afternoon, someone saw the car of the Akebono Home Economics Club passing by here, so I called the Akebono Household Economics Club." Police officer Chiba said with a smile, "They said that they cleaned a house yesterday afternoon. Hygienic, and helped to throw a heavy three-seater sofa."

"Did you let them come over?" Officer Takagi asked.

Officer Chiba said, "Of course, the Akebono Home Economics Club is asking the people who came here yesterday to come over."

"Do you know which family it is?" Officer Takagi asked.

"It's nearby. It's a building. I've already contacted the locksmith." Officer Chiba said.

Ayumi asked, "Does the locksmith open the locks?"

Mitsuhiko said: "That's right, if the lock is broken, we will find them."

Yuan Tai said: "I know, once when I changed the locks on the front door of my house, I went to a locksmith."

At this time, the car from the Akebono Home Economics Club came, and then took Officer Takagi and Officer Chiba to the Yihujian.

Cleaner B said: "This is the house. At about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, someone called us to clean up."

Officer Takagi asked, "Do you know who that person is?"

Cleaner A said: "I don't know, the voice is a middle-aged male."

Officer Chiba showed the photo, "So, do you know this old lady?"

The four cleaners looked at it and said they didn't know each other, but they had seen the photos, and they were in this one-household building.

Conan asked: "Hey, you don't know the owner of the house, how did you get into the room?"

Cleaner C said, "The door was open at that time."

Cleaner A said: "The man said on the phone that the door was open, so we went in."

Conan asked, "What did he say on the phone?"

Cleaner A said: "He just asked us to clean up and put the money on the table. Then he called and said, let us lift the three-seater sofa out and throw it away."

"Wait, later?" Conan asked, "When was later?"

The third cleaner said, "That's when we were about to leave."

Cleaner B said, "About four o'clock in the afternoon."

The cleaner Ding said: "We didn't think much about it at the time, so we threw the sofa to a nearby junk yard."

Officer Chiba asked: "At that time, did you think the sofa was heavy?"

Cleaner A said: "It feels heavy, but we thought it was a material problem, and we never thought there would be a body inside."

Officer Takagi said: "That is to say, the body was already in the sofa at that time."

Receiving Worker A said: "Officer, it's clear now, we only got the sofa after the fact."

Receiving worker B said: "This incident really has nothing to do with us."

At this time, the locksmith and a patrolling police officer came, and after seeing the police officers' ID cards of Takagi and Chiba, the locksmith opened the door of a building.

The inspecting police officer confirmed through the photos that the deceased was the owner of the house, an old lady named Yuri Tanaka. Her husband died of illness more than ten years ago, and her daughter's family also died of a traffic accident for several years. ...

Tanaka Lily House.

Officer Takagi and Officer Chiba went in, and Conan and the others followed.

Seeing this, Officer Takagi had no choice but to tell them that this might be the first scene, and they should not touch anything here.

Officer Takagi and Officer Chiba did not find anything useful, but there were still some cash and valuables in the house.

Yuan Tai said suddenly: "By the way, I know, this must have been done by a thief who broke into the empty door."

Mitsuhiko said: "No, no, this incident was not done by a thief, because there is still cash and jewelry here. If it is a thief, they will definitely take them away."

Ayumi said: "Mitsuhiko is right."

Yuan Tai asked: "Who could it be?"

Conan said: "In fact, the prisoner has already shown his feet."

Ayumi asked excitedly: "Conan, do you know who the murderer is?"

"I don't know yet," Conan said.

Yuan Tai asked angrily: "Then what do you mean by saying that?"

Conan said: "It was a middle-aged man who called the Akebono Home Economics Club, and yesterday was Friday, and the time period from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm was the working time."

Mitsuhiko said: "Ah, I see, the murderer must be someone who doesn't go to work."

"It is more likely that he is a person who does not go to work in the afternoon," Conan said, "because a person who does not go to work but does not touch the property here is generally a person with a job."

Yuan Tai said: "But this range is also very large."...
