Conan: I'm really not a model worker at a winery

Chapter 280
"A day ago..."

"Yes, Chief Matsuda, the longest should not exceed one day."

The report of the forensic personnel is over, and they are waiting for the instructions of Matsuda and Megure.

Matsuda Jinpei pondered for a while.

In other words, the time of death of the victim was probably from yesterday to night, and the earliest death was at this point yesterday...

It seems that it has nothing to do with the bombing, so there is no need to worry about those people being involved.

Matsuda Jinpei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then became a little annoyed—since when did he gradually put the organization's affairs first?

He felt that something would happen sooner or later, but it was unavoidable.

"Uncle Cleaning, where was the last garbage disposal point you opened the car?"

"...It's at Kudo-cho [-]-chome, about four or five streets past here."

"Didn't you feel anything unusual when uncle drove over?"

"This, I didn't pay attention..."

The conversation between Conan and the cleaning worker brought Matsuda Jinpei back from the state of trance.

He looked at the young man who seemed to be eager to solve the case, then turned his head slightly, and glanced at Hiroki and Hui Yuanai.

The latter two neatly shrugged.

Matsuda Jinpei twitched his lips helplessly, then glanced at the three little ones behind them, shook his head, and said loudly:

"Officer Mumu, since the body appeared after the last garbage disposal point, why don't we tie this road to see, maybe we can find some clues."

The premise is that the cleaning worker is telling the truth.

Matsuda Jinpei glanced indifferently at the cleaner who was still describing to Conan. The latter shivered, and when he raised his head, the feeling disappeared again.

"That's right..." Police Officer Mu Mu nodded in agreement, and couldn't help feeling that it was different with Matsuda around, "I don't think the weather is good today, you children should go home first."

"Hey! Why is this..." Di Dan Sanbao pouted, "We can also help solve the case!"

Police officer Mu Mu stared at them, and said earnestly, "It's raining so much now, it's very difficult to search, and if it's raining, it's easy..."

Ayumi: "We are not afraid of hard work!"

Mitsuhiko/Genta: "Yes! With Conan and Hiroki here, we can definitely find the key evidence!"

Police Officer Mu Mu's half-moon eyes tended to be unstoppable.

In fact, he thinks Conan and Hiroki are enough, and the remaining four he thinks he can go home completely.

Police officer Mu Mu finally couldn't hold back these children who occasionally made outstanding achievements in the case, and agreed to their request to follow.

Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko squeezed into the police car of Police Officer Megure...

And Matsuda Jinping drove his own car.

He walked to his car, opened the door and waited for a while, "Hey, won't you follow?"

"……what?"

Conan, who was deep in thought, was startled, and then raised his head.

"Officer Megure's car can't fit so many of you...you three can sit in my car." Matsuda Jinpei pointed to Haibara Ai and Conan who were already sitting in the car, "You are the only one left."

Conan touched the back of his head in embarrassment, laughed dryly, jumped into the car, and put the umbrella on the carpet in the car.

After everyone was seated, Matsuda Jinpei got into the car and started it, and followed the other police cars towards Kabado-cho [-]-chome.

-

Kuboto Town, Sanchome.

When everyone arrived at the location mentioned by the cleaner, the heavy rain had stopped and the sky began to clear up. However, the setting sun was still low, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the street, lengthening everyone's shadows.

The garbage disposal point happened to be between two independent residential houses.

Coincidentally, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed, and he belonged to the owner of the residential house on the left, Mr. Honda.

"Eh?! What are you talking about? My husband is dead? Officer, are you kidding me?"

Mr. Honda's wife, Mrs. Honda, still couldn't believe it when she heard Officer Megure's statement.

But after Police Officer Megure showed the photos he took, Mrs. Honda believed it...

When a group of police officers entered the house for routine questioning, Conan was standing next to the garbage point, walking up and down, observing the buildings on both sides.

"How about Conan, did you find anything?"

The other children of the detective team did not follow into the house, and all of them stared at Conan with wide eyes.

Only then did Conan notice that there were five people behind him.

"How many of you didn't follow in?"

"Because neither Conan nor Hiroki went in... I thought you guys found something."

Ayumi blinked.

Conan was a little ashamed:
"Well, I'm just going outside to check the environment first..."

Come on, he just came here, how could he find the evidence all at once, and it's not a scanner.

but……

Conan looked at Hiroki: "What about you, Hiroki?"

"...Nothing was found." Hiroki smiled warmly, "But I believe that it won't be long before the truth will come to light."

Conan: "...?"

Curious, where did Hiroki get his confidence?
Could it be that he found some key point and didn't tell him?

Hiroki met Conan's suspicious eyes, and looked at the garbage spot in the alley, "Conan, did you find any problems? It seems that it is not difficult to throw the corpse in this place when the cleaning uncle is not paying attention."

"indeed."

Conan frowned slightly, "And uncle cleaning said that when he passed by here, he didn't see anyone else on the street."

"But corpses don't appear out of thin air." Hiroki also frowned, "That Mrs. Honda just said that she didn't come home at all last night, right?"

"Yes, and her friends at the party can also testify that she didn't come home until the morning...After she came back, she didn't see Mr. Honda."

Conan frowned and looked towards the courtyard on the right.

Mrs. Honda has an alibi, so the family on the right is the most likely to commit the crime...

And the strange thing is that the house number on the right does not indicate that this is the surname of this family.

The layout of the houses on both sides is basically symmetrical. The difference is that there is a fountain in the courtyard on one side, and a maple tree is planted on the other side.

Conan also found some newly placed garbage at the garbage point, so he was a little careful.

They wandered outside for a while, and Conan went to the yard of Honda's house to investigate again, and found a strange place - there were a lot of garbage piled up in the yard.

"It's strange, there is a trash spot next to it, why are they piled up in the yard?"

Conan pondered for a while, but couldn't come up with a result.

During the few minutes they wandered around, Police Officer Megure and others walked out of Honda's house with helpless expressions.

—— Mrs. Honda's emotions are a little out of control, and she can't ask anything.

Finally, they decided to go to the unnamed house next door to ask.
