Chapter 3238 3250 [The Dove Calvados]
While two detectives, one big and one small, were scheming against each other outside the room.
Inside the room, the fat woman sent away a few uninvited guests, sat back in her seat angrily, and continued to watch the movie happily.
However, not long after I started reading, I felt a buzzing in my pocket - someone called.
“Who is it? At such a critical moment…” The fat woman took out her cell phone, glanced at it, and found it was an unfamiliar number.
She picked up the phone in confusion, and a male voice came from the other side: "Mrs. Izuki? Hello, I'm the former tenant of Guangming Apartment, the one named Yamaguchi. I made an appointment with you to meet today, but you don't seem to be at home..."
"Oh, it's you." The fat woman then remembered that she seemed to have made an appointment with someone.
However, I am just a poor guy who can't afford to buy a house and can only rent one. How can it be more important than the movie in front of me?
She didn't need to think too long before she made her choice: "I suddenly have something urgent to do and can't leave temporarily - let's meet tomorrow, I'll hang up first."
Having said that, she hung up the phone impatiently.
On the other side, Calvados, who was stood up, said: “…”
Urgent matter? What's your urgent matter? ——If I heard correctly, the loud background sound over there should be the lines of Ying Shisanlang's movie.
"So the so-called urgent matter is to go to the movies?" Looking at the meeting gift he had carefully prepared, Calvados's fists hardened, "You actually stood me up for something like this... Asshole, wait for me!"
…
Amuro Toru noticed the unusual atmosphere and looked at the two pots of seedlings whispering to each other: "What's wrong?"
Conan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly changed the subject. He pointed to a room he passed by and said, "Huh? Why is there a big bag here?"
Hideo Goda walked over and took a look: "Oh, it's dirty clothes. I was going to take them to the laundromat."
Jiang Xia: "When I was looking for my watch in the bathroom just now, there seemed to be a washing machine inside."
"That washing machine was too difficult to operate, and only my wife knew how to use it," sighed Hideo Hoda. "After she passed away, I started using the self-service laundry room to wash my clothes."
Hearing them mention the watch, Conan finally remembered Jiang Xia's commission today. He looked at Goda Hideo and asked: "Does your wife wear her watch all the time?"
"Yes." When Hideo Goda mentioned his deceased wife, his expression became a little gentler. "My wife loved that watch. She lost the watch the day before she had a traffic accident. She always wore it and never took it off."
Amuro Toru: "..." The car accident happened right after the watch was lost? This sounds too much like a coincidence, and speaking of coincidences...
A figure flashed through his mind, and Amuro Toru frowned. Could it be that this incident was related to Uzo, who seemed to be very good at using coincidences to create cases?
The boss of the detective agency was distracted by himself, but next to him, the mini detective who had nothing to do with this commission was handling the commission with all his heart and soul.
Conan listened to what Hideo Goda said, pushed up his glasses, and smiled confidently: "Even if you like it so much that you wear it every day, there will always be a time to take off the watch, such as... when taking a shower?"
Hideo Goda was stunned.
Conan was very active. While he was talking, he had already entered the bathroom next door.
A small stool was moved over and placed in front of the washing machine. Conan stepped on it, opened the lid, and began to take out the dirty clothes.
After fishing out two pieces, the second piece of clothing fell to the ground with a sudden "gulp" sound.
Jiang Xia walked over, looked down at the dirty clothes, and silently moved to make it easier for Amuro Toru to come in.
As expected, Toru Amuro walked in. He unfolded the clothes and saw an old-fashioned mechanical watch wrapped inside.
Seeing this, Conan immediately showed a happy expression: "Brother Jiang Xia is right, this lost watch is really here!"
In this way, he could pretend that what he and Jiang Xia were whispering about behind Amuro Toru's back was about the location of the watch - he had made a legitimate inference and reasonably explained the anomaly just now. He was simply a genius!
"So it's here." Amuro Toru looked at the watch and suddenly raised his eyebrows. "It's really good quality. It's still working normally."
Conan was startled: "Huh?"
"Let me see." Goda Hideo also came in. He took the watch from Amuro Toru's hand and said in surprise, "Yes, this is my wife's watch! I didn't expect it to be in the washing machine... I know, this confused bug must have taken off the watch before taking a shower, and then accidentally threw it into the washing machine with the clothes to be washed."
Amuro Toru looked at him: "Really?"
Conan's expression also turned serious: No, this watch was not lost like this. But why...
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a "crack" sound of something breaking, followed by a series of hurried footsteps.
The sudden strange sound made everyone hold their breath and listen carefully. After the footsteps, there was the sound of a door closing with a bang.
"What's that noise?" Goda Hideo walked out of the bathroom, frowned and looked around, "Who's running around? ... What's that woman doing again? Really, I haven't sold the house to her yet."
Jiang Xia walked to the entrance and looked at the shoe cabinet: "How come your flower pot with the relics in it suddenly disappeared?"
Toru Amuro suddenly realized something. He raised his head and looked at the door closest to the entrance - that was the audio-visual room, where the female creditor watched movies alone.
A certain premonition quietly came over him, and Toru Amuro strode over and opened the door.
When he looked inside, his eyes suddenly froze - the big screen in the room that was originally playing the movie had turned into a snowy screen.
And in front of the screen, an obese woman fell to the ground with blood all over her head.
Broken pieces of porcelain lay scattered around her head, dotted with wilted flowers—someone had taken the flower pot from the entrance and smashed it on her head.
Amuro Toru: "..." The bad premonition finally came true...
Conan: "..." The black-skinned boss's conspiracy finally came true... He knew that the words "You are still alive?" that Amuro Toru blurted out just now were definitely not simple!
…
Not long after, the police car arrived.
Inspector Megure got out of the car with Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako, looked up at the apartment building in front of them, and was briefly dazed: it seemed like he hadn't worked overtime for a few days.
After being so comfortable for so long, I suddenly had to work again in the evening, and it was the most troublesome murder case... This feeling was so familiar that it made me cry.
No matter what, as a police officer, even if I shed tears, I still have to do my job.
The police took over the scene skillfully, and as expected, they met the familiar Detective Jiang Xia at the crime scene.
