When he returned to the office and entered the door, he saw Xiaolan and others sitting on chairs and chatting.

"Welcome back." Xiaolan smiled and said when she saw her mother, "Mom, you're back."

"Are you here to ask about the vase?"

Feiyingli put her handbag on the table and smiled, "I've already asked him about this."

"I wonder what Toshio Iwamatsu answered?" Tang Ze said.

"Just as you, Detective Tang Ze, guessed, there was indeed a vase at the crime scene," said Eri Hime.

"But the maid said the vase had been put away early because the mistress had passed away."

Maori Kogoro frowned upon hearing this and said, "Moreover, there is no trace of the vase in the crime scene evidence collection records.

I think you all saw this in the video played in court earlier."

"Since Iwamatsu Toshio said the vase was still there, but the maid said it was disposed of long ago, it means that one of them must be lying."

Tang Ze put down his teacup and said, "As a suspect, Iwamatsu Toshio admitted the existence of the vase, but it did not help or benefit him in any way.

On the contrary, it was Hara Yukie who had the interest and motivation to take the vase away."

"But what does that vase have to do with the case?" Xiaolan asked with some confusion after hearing Tang Ze's reasoning.

"At least it proves that what disappeared from the crime scene was not only the murder weapon, but also the vase."

Conan looked at Xiaolan and explained with a smile: "As for what the relationship is, further investigation is needed.

But just like when Mr. Kobayashi discovered the painting hung upside down, perhaps it was just a suspicious point at the beginning, and people would question whether it had anything to do with the case.”

"But as the investigation progresses, this discovery may become important evidence!" Xiaolan smiled and took over Conan's words: "Isn't that right?"

"Yes." Conan nodded with a smile.

Seeing the two of them expressing their tacit understanding, Tang Ze simply chose to ignore them and looked at Hime Eri and said, "I wonder if Iwamatsu Toshio said where the vase was placed at that time?"

"According to him, it fell from the decorative cabinet and rolled near the door." Hime Eri took out a floor plan and pointed to the location on it.
