Conan: Money Talks

Inspector Megure came to the balcony and looked around.

Then he said,"This is the balcony where she jumped off! There are slippers, a mobile phone, and a broken flower pot."、

Inspector Megure squatted down in front of the flower pot,"But what's going on with the mud on the ground?"

Conan followed behind Inspector Megure on the balcony and observed. The broken pieces of the flower pot on the ground caught Conan's attention.

What's going on with this arrangement?

It extends all the way to the sewer.

Conan was thinking about the problem, Xiaolan suddenly picked up Conan from behind

"Conan, I've told you so many times, don't wander around the crime scene and disturb your father and his colleagues from investigating the case!"

Xiaolan looked quite angry.

"Forget it, Xiaolan. If Conan were at the scene, he might find something interesting, which could be the key to solving the case!"

Miyamoto Han winked at Conan.

"Oh, Sister Xiaolan, look, there is a strange thing over there!"

Conan immediately jumped off Xiaolan's hand, squatted on the ground and picked it up.

"Inspector Megure, there is something strange here!"Conan raised his voice and shouted

"Hey~what is this?"

"It might be a contact lens case. Wasn't Miss Chono, who fell from the building, wearing contact lenses?"

Miyamoto Han pushed his glasses and said,"But this thing is really hard to wear. I have to use contact lens care solution frequently."

"In this case, the glasses are suspicious."Inspector Megure said.

Kogoro Mouri raised his eyebrows and said,"But, could it be that she forgot to wear contact lenses?"

Inspector Megure came to the porch and said,"Everyone, search around in this house now, maybe you will find something. If it is suicide, then the deceased should have left a suicide note. Let's look for it carefully!"

Soon, everyone was mobilized.

There were police officers searching for evidence in every room.

But Inspector Megure saw a group of strange photo albums in the study, and the people in the albums had a black butterfly mark on their bodies.

The staff of the illustration company explained,"Those were photos taken by Chou Ye when the company employees went on a trip together, because she liked to doodle on others while they were sleeping."

"It looks like everyone has the same pattern!"

"Because that is her signature, it seems to be taken from the word"蝶" in"蝶野". Every time, she will draw it in her own works. Recently, her illustrations are becoming more and more popular."

Inspector Megure and the others were talking about business, while Conan was hiding under the table reading a picture book.

"Conan, did you find anything interesting?"

Miyamoto Han suddenly squatted down and looked under the table.

"Nothing!"

Conan quickly closed the album in his hand.

"You don't have to hide anymore. I've seen the album. It seems to be all works by Hanaoka Kaneto, but the signature seems a bit strange."

Miyamoto Han pushed his glasses.

"How come you discovered it too?"

"Yeah." Miyamoto Han nodded and continued:"If I'm not mistaken, the person who caused this incident should be Hanaoka Kaneto."

Conan nodded in agreement.

Inspector Megure's search for evidence continued. They found some pink nail polish on the end of the bed sheet on the bed in the victim's bedroom.

And there was a bottle of nail polish on the floor.

"This color of nail polish seems to have just been launched recently!"Lan was standing aside and suddenly remembered something, and immediately said,"Because the color is very distinctive, it is widely praised in school!"

Maori Kogoro seemed to be hit by something in his brain, and a light bulb suddenly lit up his head. He pointed at Hanaoka Kaneto and asked,"Oh, by the way, I remember when you met me, Mr. Hanaoka, I also saw something similar on your little fingernail. Could it be that Miss Chouno is your mistress or something, and you are afraid that your wife will find out, so you have the intention to kill her?"

Hanaoka Kaneto laughed instead of getting angry:"Hey, hey, you are a detective so you can talk nonsense? I've already said that the paint on my fingernail was accidentally stained by me when I was drawing illustrations. How many times do you want me to explain it?"

"Really? I don't think you got stained with paint? And I waited for you in the company for so long before you showed up!"

"Mr. Maori, you and I saw Chono fall from the building, how could I have pushed her down? Do you think I have an accomplice?"

Maori Kogoro was scared again when he heard it,"Haha, it seems so.~"

"Brother Mori, are you able to do it?" Inspector Megure rolled his eyes. Why was this brother Mori different from the sleeping brother Mori?

A policeman ran over and said,"Inspector Megure, we have looked everywhere, but we haven't found anything like a suicide note!"

Inspector Megure nodded slightly.

"Oh, Inspector Megure, there's a man outside to collect a package."The police officer added.

"Bring him to me"

""Yes!"

Less than a minute later, a thin courier boy stood in front of them.

Seeing such a big scene, the courier was still a little nervous.

He said timidly,"I'm here to collect the express. I left in a hurry just now and forgot to leave the original receipt!"

"When did you come to pick up the package?"

When Inspector Megure heard that this might be a key witness, he suddenly became excited.

"Around 8:30"

"Half past eight? That was exactly the time when she fell from the building! By the way, did you see Miss Choye in person?"

The delivery boy replied,"She said the manuscript was next to the open door, and she asked me to come and get it myself at half past eight. That's why I didn't see her in person!"

"This is today's receipt!"

The courier took out a receipt and handed it to Inspector Megure. As a result, the contact person on it was written as Hanaoka Kaneto.

Maori Kogoro immediately took the receipt and questioned Hanaoka Kaneto who was walking towards him.

"Mr. Hanaoka, you ordered this express delivery. Why did you order it for her? And you said you didn't have any special relationship?" Maori Kogoro put his face close to him, as if he wanted to get back at him,"When she fell from the building, the express delivery just happened to arrive. Don't you think this is too coincidental?"
