At night, at the Ishigaki family residence.

A stealthy figure, holding a vase, quietly opened the fence and entered the mansion.

Soon the little black man walked into the study, looked around, and then walked into the crime scene.

He hurried to the display case holding the vase and put the stolen vase back to its original place.

"The lost vase, this is obviously it."

A male voice suddenly came from the darkness, making the little black man who had just put down the vase stunned.

The next moment, the light illuminated the entire room. Hara Yukie looked around in panic and finally lowered her head in despair.

"It was you who stole the vase, Auntie."

Conan was standing there with gloves on at the door where the light was turned on. It was obvious that he was the one who had just turned on the light.

Of course, Hara Yukie also wore gloves, but one was to avoid leaving fingerprints in the room while investigating, and the other was to avoid leaving fingerprints on the vase when returning the dirty items.

But she was obviously doing this in vain. After all, she was a maid in this family, so it was normal for her fingerprints to be on the vase. It would be strange if there were no fingerprints on it.

Looking at the frightened Hara Yukie, Tang Ze stepped in front of her and said, "Well, since you've been caught, tell me what happened with the vase."

Hara Yukie looked at the man in front of her with despair in her eyes, but she finally opened her mouth slowly and told him everything.

…

Tokyo Tribunal.

The second public trial of the murder case of the real estate company president has begun again.

This time, unlike the first public trial, the atmosphere has obviously changed.

First of all, the jurors, with the experience of participating last time, had a much different aura this time.

The previous unfamiliarity has disappeared, replaced by seriousness and solemnity.

Secondly, Kujo Reiko looked relaxed and confident of victory, which could be seen from the fountain pen constantly turning at her fingertips.

As for Hime Eri, she sat in her seat with a blank expression on her face, while the defendant, Iwamatsu Toshio, no longer had the arrogant attitude he had during the first trial.

Obviously, the secret he had hidden was discovered, and subsequent evidence against him emerged one after another, which had made him despair. At this moment, he looked like he was waiting to be killed.

"Then let's begin today's trial."

The presiding judge looked at the quiet courtroom and announced the official start of the second trial: "First, before questioning the witnesses, the prosecutor has submitted an application for new evidence."

After she finished speaking, Kujo Reiko stood up and said, "Regarding the results of the investigation into the painting mentioned by the jurors last time, we found a loan note for 3 million yen from behind the frame.

The borrower's name was the defendant, Toshio Iwamatsu!

In addition to this, the murder weapon, which was not found during the first trial, has also been recovered.

After identification, the blood on the blade was found to be consistent with that of the victim."

As Kujo Reiko finished her words, an image of a dagger appeared on the electronic screen in the courtroom.

“This isn’t mine!!”

Upon seeing the murder weapon, Iwamatsu Toshio, who was standing in the dock, immediately shouted, "I didn't bring a knife with me, and I've never seen this knife!"

Seeing that Iwamatsu Toshio was getting increasingly excited, the criminal standing next to him immediately restrained Iwamatsu Toshio's arms on the left and right, fixing him firmly in place.

“Assholes!” Iwamatsu Toshio roared as he struggled violently, “You bunch of foolish fellows, are you really going to frame me for a murderer?!”

"Mr. Iwamatsu, please calm down!" Hime Eri also came out to comfort him, but Iwamatsu Toshio simply didn't listen to him.

"Damn it!!" Iwamatsu Toshio still refused to listen to Hime Eri's advice and continued to struggle.

"quiet!"

Seeing Iwamatsu Toshio making a fuss, the presiding judge immediately scolded him.

Seeing that Iwamatsu Toshio still refused to calm down, the presiding judge stopped scolding him and said calmly, "Defendant, please control your words and actions, otherwise we will take coercive measures and punish you for disrupting the courtroom."

As a presiding judge who dedicated his life to the court, he had seen too many criminals, and an impulsive and violent prisoner like Iwamatsu Toshio was not the most difficult one he had ever seen.

He just used a little trick and Iwamatsu Toshio stopped struggling instantly.

A moment of unwillingness and fear about the future made Iwamatsu Toshio burst into tears.

"I was completely beaten by the 'Madonna of the prosecutor world' and had no chance of fighting back." Sitting in the audience, Kogoro Mouri said with interest, holding his chin.

"Mom's situation is very unfavorable, why are you still gloating?" Xiaolan looked at Mouri Kogoro with dissatisfaction.

"Even if I am worried, it won't change the result." Kogoro Mouri dragged his chin and waved his hand impatiently.

The presiding judge saw that Iwamatsu Toshio had calmed down and turned to look at Hime Eri beside him. "Does the defense attorney have any objections to the new evidence presented by the prosecutor?"

"No, I have no objection to these two pieces of evidence."

Hibiki Eri bowed slightly, but then changed the subject and said, "But we also request that you summon the deceased's maid, Ms. Hara Yukie, to testify again."

Reiko Kujo frowned when she heard this, wondering what Kisaki Eri wanted to do by summoning her for questioning at this point.

But this was the other party's request, and they had no right to stop it. They could only watch Hara Yukie go on stage again.

"Excuse me, what is your impression of this vase?"
