Conan's Silence in the Dark

"There is no clue at all." The three members of the juvenile detective team shouted in disappointment on the stairs.

"Is it really Changying?" Takagi whispered.

"Officer Takagi?" Xiaojing sensed from Takagi's words that the police should be suspicious of Changying just like herself.

"Nothing, just thinking about what to do next."

"In fact, I didn't find suspicious people, and I didn't find any useful clues, but it also said one thing." Conan said after thinking for a while.

"What did Conan come to mind?" The juvenile detective group immediately looked over hopefully.

"Because there are no suspicious people, isn't the prisoner locked into the people in this apartment?" Only people in the apartment can not find the suspect without being suspected. Conan analyzed.

"So just check for people with pets in the apartment?" Ayumi thought for a moment and said.

"Although I said that, the possibility of blaming the murderer is not ruled out, and the murderer has already thought that if we will narrow the scope to the apartment, we deliberately leave seeds to transfer the suspicion to Changying, who is dissatisfied with Riko-sensei." Xiao Jing said after holding a small book in one hand and writing into the scope apartment.

"Since the scope has been narrowed down to this extent, it will be handed over to the police later." Xiao Jing did not have much interest in searching for the murderer in her heart, since she already knew the scope and handed it over to the police, it was only a matter of time before she found the murderer.

"That's right, I'll call the police department to send more people to check all the people in this apartment." Takagi took Xiao Jing's words seriously.

"If it is Riko-sensei's hidden boyfriend, it is more likely to be male." Xiao Jing reminded Takagi again.

"Hmm." Takagi nodded, intending to take his phone out of his pocket.

"Huh? Ayumi? At this time, a woman came up the stairs to recognize Ayumi and shouted.

"Sister Hanashi." Ayumi also stood up to say hello.

"Are you?" Takagi asked habitually.

"She is the sister of Ewha who cashiers in the supermarket not far downstairs, and she lives in the room to the right of Teacher Riko." Ayumi introduced.

"Since you are also a resident of the apartment, can you please answer a few questions from me?" Takagi is still very cautious as a police officer.

"You are?"

Takagi immediately showed his credentials, and Rika looked around and found that there was no one else in the corridor, so she brought everyone into the room with a little mystery.

"On the day the boy downstairs fell, I saw a man sneak out of Mr. Riko's room late that day and passed me by. I didn't care, but now that Riko-sensei has been killed, I care. Rika said to Takagi.

"So do you know him?" Conan immediately interjected and asked.

"I don't know his name, but I remember it as if it was someone in Building A in this apartment. But I tell you this, you have to keep it secret, you all live in the same apartment, I don't want to be resented. After she finished speaking, she instructed Takagi and the children uneasily.

"So if my sister has a picture, can you identify it?" Conan asked.

"Well, I think I'd recognize it if I provided a photo." Lihua affirmed.

"So Officer Takagi."

"Well, I'll arrange an investigation immediately, and I'll bother later." Takagi immediately went out to call to report.

"Then let's go back too." Xiao Jing said to the child.

"But now I just found a clue." The members of the juvenile detective team said unwillingly.

"I'll tell you about the progress after that through my father." Xiao Jing said and glanced at Conan, gesturing to help as well.

"Xiao Jing is right, staying here now will only hinder the police investigation. Let's go back first, otherwise my parents will also be worried, especially Ayumi. Conan naturally agreed.

On the same day, through Kogoro I learned that after the emergency investigation organized by the Megumu Police Department, through Rika's identification, it was Yoshimoto Katsu from the third floor of Building A that day that came out of Riko-sensei. After further investigation, the police found that Haomoto Katsu often entered and left Riko's home on the grounds that his daughter was Riko's student.

"And through the preliminary identification of his blood type in the company's health room, he is likely to be the father of the child in the victim's womb."

"The efficiency of the police is still high to find the murderer so quickly." Xiao Jing has already determined that Hao Bensheng is the murderer.

"That's of course, as long as the target is locked, the search is easy." After all, Kogoro himself was a police officer before, so he said with some pride.

"So is the murderer really Mr. Good Ben?" Xiaolan replaced Xiao Jing's coke with boiled water and asked.

"Ahem, although there is no conclusive evidence, the possibility of good Ben winning is very high."

"Any other evidence?" Conan took the Coke from Xiaolan and accepted Xiaojing's gaze at the same time.

"That's right, during the investigation, it was also found that Haomoto's mistakes in the business caused a lot of losses, and Riko-sensei withdrew money from the bank shortly after that time that was roughly equal to the amount he lost."

"Because Hao Bensheng borrowed money and couldn't return it, did he kill the killer when he was cornered?" Xiaolan cleaned up the peels on the table.

"Maybe it was Riko-sensei who forced Benkatsu to be responsible for her child, and if the matter between him and Riko-sensei is revealed, his family will definitely be over." Xiao Jing also tried to analyze other motivations.

After receiving various clues, the police did not hesitate to summon Haomoto, and it was said that at that time, if Haomoto Katsu refused the subpoena, he immediately used this as an excuse to request an arrest warrant.

"Well, at least the matter is over, Ayumi we just need to wait for the police to investigate." Xiaojing tells Ayumi the progress of the case at school and comforts.

"I'm already getting better, let you guys worry." Although Ayumi smiled indifferently, the hidden sadness could still be seen in her expression. There is nothing Xiao Jing and Conan can do about this.

"Xiao Jing?" At this time, Conan seemed to have thought of something and stopped Xiao Jing and pulled aside.

"Huh?"

"Yesterday, when Uncle Maori said the case, he didn't mention sunflower seeds at all, did he?"

"You said that, it really didn't, maybe it's where Hao Benkatsu occasionally sticked, because it was stuck by accident, so it's normal to drop it after killing Riko-sensei, right?" Xiao Jing said disapprovingly.

"That being said, didn't Uncle Maori also say yesterday, Benkatsu insisted on not admitting that he committed the crime? Being seen by Miss Ewha that day was also because Changyoung ran away in a hurry that day when he saw him and Riko-sensei fall off the balcony, didn't he? "

"Now around the victim, he is the most suspicious, isn't he? The credibility of his words is not high. Changying's words are indeed a little motive, isn't it? "

"But isn't all the evidence pointing to good Bensheng?"

"The evidence is very good. Well? Xiao Jing seemed to have caught something, but she didn't know what it was for a while.

"Yes, there are doubts!" Conan said with a finger raised.

"Miss Ewha is involved in the relationship with Hao Bensheng, and according to himself, he was also seen by Changyoung. If he kills Riko-sensei, won't it definitely reveal that he is Riko-sensei's lover? "

"You mean if he's going to kill?"

"That's right, I definitely won't choose this timing!" Conan concluded.

"Indeed." Xiao Jing combed through the current clues, and it was indeed the case.

"How's Dad?" Xiao Jing put down the book in her hand and looked at her father who returned from the police station.

"The matter of Haomoto-Katsu's loan from Riko has been confirmed from Riko-sensei's relics, and Riko's private ledger records Haomoto-katsu's name. The police department has obtained an arrest warrant and is now in custody. Kogoro said as he handed his coat to Ran.

"That is to say, is Hao Bensheng officially a suspect?"

"I thought it would go well, but Haomoto Katsu confessed that it was around twelve o'clock on the night of the crime. He went to Riko's house, rang the doorbell and didn't see her to open the door, turned the doorknob and found that it was unlocked, and walked directly in, because it was Riko who called him in the afternoon. But when he entered, he found that Riko was dead. Kogoro took the beer from the fridge and put it on the coffee table.

"Because I was afraid that his relationship with Teacher Riko would be exposed, and I was afraid of being treated as a suspect, I didn't call the police and ran away directly?" Xiao Jing feels that although the script is old-fashioned, if she is good, Bensheng will also deal with it like this.

That's right, after all, he himself knew that he had a motive for killing. So he took away the physical evidence related to himself and fled. Kogoro affirmed Xiao Jing's conjecture.

"Hmph, we won't believe that."

"By the way, Uncle Maori, do you have sunflowers or pets that use sunflower seeds as fodder in or near Haomoto's house?" Conan interjected at this time.

"Speaking of which, we also asked people to look it up. Strangely enough, there are no places where sunflower seeds appear in the vicinity of the good Ben Katsuya, and according to Changyoung's mother, Changyoung's pine never feeds sunflower seeds. "

"Haven't you found any information about sunflower seeds now?" Xiaolan questioned.

"Was that sunflower seed left by the murderer?" Conan muttered quietly as he thought.

Well, it's better to leave it to the professionals, Xiao Jing thought about it and felt that her head was not enough, and her attention turned back to the book.
