"Ebihara finally got this." After hearing what Karasawa said, Shimazaki Nozomi looked at Noda Masao and said, "I remember it was just an ordinary clock before."
"Noda, when did you give him the watch?" Tatsutaro Koike couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Ah...last night." Noda Masao replied.
"In that case, when Ayumi saw Mr. Shimazaki, it should not be 5:50, but 6:10." Conan converted it and immediately got the correct time that Ayumi saw it.
Now it was Shimazaki Nozomi's turn to panic, and Inspector Megure and Mouri Kogoro immediately looked at each other.
"If you leave the barber shop at 6:10, you can't be at the gas station, which is 30 minutes away, at 6:24, right?"
The lie was exposed, and Inspector Megure looked at Shimazaki Nozomi with a scrutinizing expression, his face full of vigilance.
"I did come over here to collect towels from him!"
Shimazaki looked at the two men, who looked suspicious of the murderer, and quickly explained, "Then, I had another argument with him because he said something bad about me last night.
But I had other customers to deliver to at the time, so I didn’t argue with him any further and just left.”
Shimazaki Nozomi excitedly pointed at Ayumi and said, "Just like what this girl said, that was all before six o'clock."
"I've already told you that the clock on the wall was deliberately made to look the other way around!" Takagi retorted when he saw the other party getting excited.
"That's not true!" Shimazaki Nozomi said excitedly, "It's 5:50!"
"Mr. Shimazaki, please stop making excuses."
Maori Kogoro looked at the other person seriously and said in a deep voice: "You were found out by the store manager Ebihara about embezzling public funds. In order to conceal this unfavorable news, he chose to kill you to silence you!"
"impossible!"
Shimazaki Nozomi refuted in a panic, but Maori Kogoro seemed to be convinced that he was the murderer: "I guess after you had a conflict with him, you knew it was impossible for him to keep your secret, so you decided to kill him.
After leaving the barber shop, you hid in the alleyway, and when the shop manager Ebihara opened the window, you killed him with the dart you had prepared!
"No, that's impossible!"
Shimazaki Nozomi panicked and said, "My dart skills are the worst. In the dart club, my skills are also at the bottom!"
Shimazaki Nozomi seemed to remember something when he said this, and he quickly looked at Koike Tatsutaro and said, "Oh, Mr. Koike, you can do it, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Tatsutaro Koike retorted quickly when he heard the other party throwing dirty water on him.
"But you are the strongest in the club!" Shimazaki Nozomi said righteously.
"Yes, and the darts are poisonous. As a pharmacist, you can easily mix it, Mr. Koike."
Maori Kogoro immediately changed his target after hearing the new information: "Coupled with your superior dart skills, you are fully capable of killing the target.
I think the criminal is you!"
Kogoro Mouri pointed at Tatsutaro Koike with a confident look, but the three little ones sitting on the sofa next to him had dead eyes drooping and showed no admiration for the truth at all.
"Who is the criminal?" Yuan Tai complained speechlessly.
"As a famous detective, I really hope he can explain it clearly." Mitsuhiko also looked helpless.
“It feels really unreliable.”
Ayumi's words deeply hurt Maori Kogoro's heart. He became angry and said, "What do you kids know? Get out of here!"
"As expected, the culprit is Noda."
After hearing Kogoro Mori's two consecutive corrections, Tang Ze directly ruled out the two people as suspects. However, before that, he still had one link to confirm before he could connect all the clues.
So he followed the little ones out of the barber shop and looked at Ayumi and asked, "I have a question for you. Ayumi, where did you see the clock in the room?"
"It's near that alley." Ayumi, who was coming downstairs, pointed in the direction of the alley.
"That's exactly what happened."
Tang Ze looked towards the alley, then turned around and returned to the room.
Conan, who was standing by, was also stunned for a moment when he heard Ayumi's words, but then he reacted and ran back quickly.
"Conan!"
The three little ones saw that Tang Ze and the other two looked like they had thought of something, and they ignored the intimidation from Maori Kogoro and ran back to the barber shop.
"You little brats, why are you back again?!"
Seeing the door open and several little ones filing in, Maori Kogoro waved his hand impatiently to drive them away: "Go away, don't make trouble."
"In fact, they were a great help."
Tang Ze smiled, then looked at Ayumi and said, "Are you sure you saw the clock in the alley?"
"Of course." Ayumi nodded firmly: "Ayumi is sure!"
"Then the clock was not delivered last night, but today!"
Tang Ze said this, looking at Noda Masao whose face changed drastically, "And the criminal is you!
I just checked visually, and it's impossible to see the clock from the box side nowadays.
I would also like to confirm with Mr. Koike and Mr. Koike whether the original clock in this store is in the same position as this new clock.
"So, the location has indeed changed!"
Koike Tatsutaro looked at the position of the clock and looked hesitantly at Shimazaki Nozomi as if asking for his opinion. Shimazaki Nozomi nodded in agreement and said, "The original clock should be closer to the window."
