“Ahhh—”

Conan came out from under the desk, holding a baseball bat he had found earlier:

"There's a baseball bat under the township councillor's desk!"

"Oh, the township councillor likes to play baseball, so he has a baseball bat..."

Shin Matsuo explained.

"Do you keep your baseball bat under your desk?"

Sakaki Makoto seriously suspected that Matsuo Shin was insulting his intelligence:

"Does it hurt your feet?"

"Well, the police have checked it, and they didn't find anything strange..."

Shin Matsuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered.

The study has been checked twice.

The person was not found the first time, and no fingerprints were found the second time.

A mere baseball bat cannot be used as evidence.

"There's a baseball bat under the table. It's very likely that Goji Sotaro is guarding against someone."

Picking up the baseball bat offered by Conan, Sakaki Makoto said calmly:

"This is his home. Who is he guarding against?"

"Of course it's Sakata Yusuke!"

Matsuo Shin shouted:

"If a village councillor is threatened, he must protect himself!"

"What if Yusuke Sakata comes in through the window..."

window?

Sakaki Makoto smiled.

Do you really think everyone is Spider-Man and can fly over rooftops and walls?

It would be strange if he climbed to the second floor of a villa in broad daylight without being seen by passers-by.

In the afternoon, the police also arrived. How could Yusuke Sakata be so bold as to commit a crime in public?

"This baseball bat is not for guarding against Yusuke Sakata."

Hattori Heiji sat on Goji Soutarou's chair and pointed at the sofa opposite him and said:

"If my reasoning is correct..."

"Kiichiro Numabuchi was sitting on the sofa eating pizza, while Sotaro Goji was sitting behind his desk holding a baseball bat, fearing that Numabuchi would suddenly attack and hurt someone!"
