Xiaolan blinked, "Tatsuno, do you mean that as long as Dad solves this case, it will be fine?"

"That's right. As long as Uncle Maori can find clues and evidence and arrest Himuro Reiji, public opinion will be reversed directly." Tatsuno nodded.

Xiaolan turned her head to look at her father who had tied his collar to his head and was drunk and unconscious, and shook her head helplessly.

With her father's current state... let alone solving the case, it is estimated that he can't even walk in a straight line.

Seeing this, Tatsuno gave Conan a look, indicating that it was time to start "action".

Conan nodded and prepared to walk out of the office to see the scene.

Just as Conan was about to reach the door of the office, the door of the office was suddenly opened from the outside.

A concerned voice also came into the office: "Mr. Maori, I just saw the news, are you okay?"

After seeing the person coming, Conan's eyes widened instantly and his face turned pale.

Tatsuno and Xiaolan greeted Amuro Toru who came in.

Then, Tatsuno asked in confusion: "Mr. Amuro, shouldn't you still be working downstairs at this time?"

"It doesn't matter, it's time to get off work soon. Anyway, there aren't many people in the store today. Miss Azusa asked me to come over to see Mr. Maori."

"Thank you for caring about Dad so much. When he wakes up, we will take him to thank you~" Xiaolan glanced at Maori Kogoro who was slumped on the desk and smiled embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I can understand Mr. Maori's mood now. He must be feeling very uncomfortable!" Amuro Toru also looked at Maori Kogoro on the desk, closed his eyes and shook his head.

After saying that, Amuro Toru looked down at Conan in front of him and chuckled: "Conan, do you want to go to the scene with me and help Mr. Maori find some clues?"

Conan was about to refuse, but unexpectedly, Tatsuno beside him smiled and replied: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Amuro. After all, Mr. Amuro is very professional in this area~"

After hearing the second half of Tatsuno's words, Amuro Toru's eyes narrowed.

Although he had no evidence, he always felt that Ryunosuke seemed to have a hidden meaning when he said this.

Conan, who was standing by, did not notice that there was anything wrong with Ryunosuke's words. He was now thinking about whether Amuro Toru had discovered his identity.

At this moment, Xiaolan looked at the time on her phone and the slightly dim sky outside, "Should we investigate now? It's getting late today. How about we look for clues together tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Ryunosuke and his friends looked at the sky outside the window and nodded.

It looked like it would be dark soon.

Even if we investigated now, there was no point.

After agreeing on a time with Ryunosuke and his friends, Amuro Toru left the office.

Before leaving, Amuro Toru also gave Conan a 'farewell smile'.

Amuro Toru's polite smile made Conan's heart skip a beat.

Although this smile seemed normal, it was very creepy to Conan at this moment.

Early the next morning

Tatsuno and his friends came to the Kitabu Department Store where Uncle Mori was photographed.

In order to legally ‘retrieve surveillance’, Conan secretly called Officer Takagi.

When he learned that this was a request from Kogoro Mori, Officer Takagi immediately agreed.

He knew that the media was now ‘besieging’ Kogoro Mori, and he also wanted to do his part to help Kogoro Mori investigate the case.

Soon after, everyone came to the floor where the ‘photo was taken’.

Conan looked down at the coffee shop downstairs from the window, “You can’t see the faces of the people sitting in the coffee shop opposite here.”

Tatsuno nodded and said, “Well, as we guessed, the ‘beer coupon’ should also be the work of Reiji Himuro.”

Conan and Toru Amuro nodded slowly.

The reason why Reiji Himuro sent the coupon to Kogoro Mori was to induce him to go to the coffee shop opposite.

Although they didn't know why Uncle Mori fell into the trap so easily, it didn't matter now.

The reason why Himuro Reiji lured Uncle Mori here and called to deliberately anger him was to get an alibi through him.

With the help of Officer Takagi, Tatsuno and his friends successfully watched the surveillance video from yesterday in the security room of the building.

The video clearly captured Himuro Reiji and Mori Kogoro.

Yesterday afternoon, this building was conducting a public recording activity for the radio channel.

Himuro Reiji may have known this news and knew that there would be many people here, so he deliberately chose this place as the stage for his "alibi".

After leaving the Kitabu Department Store, Officer Takagi took Tatsuno and his friends to the victim Numao Shingo's place.The police found the location of the crime and contacted the patrolman who happened to witness the whole process.

Through questioning, it was learned that the patrolman suddenly received a call from the police while on patrol yesterday afternoon.

Someone called the police and said that it seemed that some suspicious people had sneaked into the building, so he came here.

When he arrived, he saw the victim on the stairs.

He just opened his mouth to remind the building that there was a risk of collapse, but the victim suddenly ran upstairs after seeing him.

In less than two seconds, the victim suddenly fell from the stairs and died on the spot.

After listening to the patrolman's explanation, Amuro Toru frowned and said, "Officer Takagi, can you perform voiceprint identification on the recording of the alarm call at that time?"

Officer Takagi nodded and said, "I see, you mean that the alarm call might have been made by Himuro! I will contact the communication command center and the person in charge of identification immediately!"

After speaking, Officer Takagi took out his mobile phone and made a call.

Conan and Amuro Toru looked around and continued to check the situation at the scene.

After a while, Conan looked at the patrolman next to him, "Mr. Patrolman, did you notice anything else at that time?"

The patrolman recalled for a while, "Oh, right! I remember, he seemed to be on the phone at that time!"

Officer Takagi, who had just finished his phone call, happened to hear this and was surprised: "Calling? We didn't find a mobile phone from the victim yesterday?"

"Since the victim was on the stairs at that time and there was no mobile phone nearby, he may have thrown it away in a hurry." Ryuno said lightly.

Hearing this, Officer Takagi immediately decided to expand the search range and look for the phone together.

Since the building is surrounded by flat land that can be seen at a glance, if a mobile phone falls on the ground, it is impossible not to find it.

Therefore, the most likely place is the woods not far from the abandoned building.

Ryuno and Xiaolan followed Officer Takagi and the patrolman into the woods and began to look for the phone.

Conan secretly walked to the stairs outside the building, ready to personally explore the stairs where the victim was at that time.
