Chapter 238: Number of playing cards

　　 Tuesday, September 3, Mihuacho, Tedan Elementary School.
　　 In the morning, Conan found out that Ayumi didn't come to school until about ten. So I cared about it during the noon class. It turned out that she was called for questioning by the police. Because of the robbery incident on Sanchome, the police were not yet sure who did it. They are now investigating the victim’s home in the apartment building. Because the victim's next door was Dr. Sawaki Yoko, he went to ask Ayumi who was with Dr. Sawaki yesterday.
"The police uncle came to my house in the morning and asked me where I was at 7:30 last night." Bu Mei said, "I told the police uncle that I was pulling my teeth from Dr. Ye Zi yesterday at that time, and then I was watching it together. The mask is Superman." Then he said with a sad face, "But I saw almost nothing yesterday."
　　 "Why?" Mitsuhiko asked, "Didn't you say you watched with Dr. Ye Zi?"
　　 "I only saw the front, and then fell asleep without knowing what happened." Ayumi said.
　　 "Asleep?" Conan asked, "What's the matter, Ayumi? You speak clearly."
"I felt a little tired after the tooth extraction yesterday. I fell asleep in the lounge and was woken up by the doctor. But I fell asleep again after seeing the beginning, and then I woke up at the end." Mei said, "So I didn't see anything at all."
There was something wrong, Conan thought, and Yamazaki didn’t return to the Meidai restaurant until around 8 o’clock in the evening last night, and he set off from the Meidai restaurant at about 7:05 and sent Dr. Asai Ka to the clinic of Dr. Sawaki Yoko. In any case, it's time to return to Mei Dai Restaurant at around 7:30. Could it be that Dr. Sawaki is not in the clinic, they went to other places to find her?
　　 Yuantoo smiled and said, "You don't have to be so disappointed. I think someone must have recorded it yesterday. Let's go to the class and ask what we think."
　　 "Wait a minute," Conan asked, "Bomi, do you remember what time it was when the tooth was extracted?"
　　Bumi thought for a while and said, "It's about seven and five."
　　 "Did you meet Dr. Asai Ka? Did she go to the clinic?" Conan said, "It was the doctor who chased me yesterday. She didn't wear her own shoes and said she would go back and change shoes."
　　 "I didn't run into it. I don't know if she came when she fell asleep." Ayumi said, and then asked, "By the way, Conan, what did she do to you yesterday?"
　　 "Nothing." Conan smiled, and then asked, "Why did you fall asleep again?"
　　 Ayumi said, "I don't know. After taking the painkiller, I was watching TV intently, but after a while I fell asleep again."
　　 "Pain killer?" Conan muttered to himself, is it a sleeping pill?
　　 Mitsuhiko asked, "Ayumi, is it painful to extract a tooth?"
　　 "I'll take anaesthetics," Genta said, "but it will be very painful later."
Ayumi smiled: "I have Masked Superman for blessing, so it doesn't hurt at all." Then he explained, "I found a set of Masked Superman playing cards on the table in the lounge. I took the Masked Superman cards before the tooth extraction. Put it in your pocket."
　　 "So you used the cards of Masked Superman as a talisman." Genta smiled, "I will try it next time."
　　 "What happened later?" Conan asked.
　　 Ayumi smiled and said, "I thanked it and put it back again."
Oh? This was an unexpected gain. If my guess was true, Conan thought to himself, Sawaki Yoko used Ayumi to make an alibi, so that the robber was her. There are three ways to make an alibi: someone, time, and place. What Bumei said is definitely true, so there is time and place left. Thinking of this, Conan asked again: "Then when did you go home?"
　　 "A little more than eight o'clock," Ayumi smiled, "Doctor Ye Zi drove me home."
　　 A little over eight o'clock. After Masked Rider was over, when I drove from the clinic to Bumei’s house, it was almost this time. Conan thought to himself, the time is fine now, so the location is changed halfway, and the evidence is the poker card. ...
　　 After school in the afternoon, as soon as Conan returned to the Maori detective office, he found that the Mugmo Police Department was talking to Maori.
　　 "He said he was a robber, but he couldn't say what he had lost. It's so strange." The police department Mumu asked, "Mori, what do you think of this incident?"
　　 Mori asked, "Megome Police Department, isn't Mr. Nakamoto Katsuhiko in the money lending business? Could something shameful be stolen?"
　　 After thinking about it, the Megome Police Department said, "It's quite possible."
　　 Conan asked, "Megome Police Department, what incident are you talking about? Is it an incident related to Dr. Sawaki Yoko?"
　　 "Yes," the police department Megome smiled, "Oh, yes, Conan, that kid Ayumi Yoshida is your classmate. I heard that you sent her to the Sawaki Dental Clinic."
　　 "Yes." Conan said, and then asked, "Memo Police Department, what was the incident like?"
"The victim, Mr. Katsuhiko Nakamoto, said that he heard someone knock on the door at 7:29 last night, but he didn't know anything as soon as he opened the door. He didn't wake up until almost eight o'clock." The police department said, "The problem is, he only went to the Mihua Police Station in the morning to report to the police, and he was very voicing, and the Mihua Police Station reported the matter."
　　 Conan asked, "Megome Police Department, are you suspicious of Dr. Sawagi now?"
　　 "Doctor Sawagi?" Megome police department smiled, "Although she has a motive, she has a clear alibi..."
　　 Maori interrupted and asked, "What's the motivation?"
"Twenty years ago, Katsuhiko Nakamoto was arrested in a village in Yamanashi Prefecture on suspicion of abduction and murder. At that time, a nine-year-old boy was killed. However, Mr. Nakamoto was not prosecuted because of insufficient evidence. He was released in this way.
The Megome Police Department said,
The boy who was killed had a younger sister who was only seven years old at the time. She is now Miss Sawagi Yoko.

　　 Mori touched his chin and said, "In other words, if Sawagi Yoko finds something that can put Mr. Nakamoto in a disadvantageous situation, she has a very strong motivation to steal it."
"It's impossible. It takes about fifteen minutes to drive from Ms. Yoko Sawaki's clinic to her apartment building. Mr. Nakamoto said that when he was fainted in the apartment, he just finished a phone call. After 7:29, he woke up around 7:40. At around 7:30, Ayumi said that she was watching TV with Dr. Sawaki in the lounge of the Sawaki Dental Clinic. Ten minutes is too short to rush back to the apartment from the clinic." Police Department Megome said, "In other words, Dr. Sawaki woke up Ayumi at 7:30 to see Masked Rider with her, so she had A perfect alibi."
"If there is no testimony from Stepmi, then she will have plenty of time... By the way, I know," Maori stood up and said excitedly, "I see, Megome Police Department, let's go, we are now Just go to Ms. Sawagi's apartment. My detective, Kogoro Mouri, will reveal her alibi in front of her." He said that he rushed downstairs.
　　 "Apartment?" Conan chuckled softly, "Uncle Mauri grasped the key point this time. It seems that his mind is getting better because of the bonus."
　　 The three people went downstairs, just in time to see Yamazaki, Mei Daizi, Ran and Yuanzi coming back from school.
　　 Conan asked immediately: "Brother Yamazaki, we are going to the apartment of Dr. Sawaki Yoko, do you want to go together?"
　　 "By the way, Yamazaki, you come with me too," Maori, who was already in the back seat of the police car, stuck his head out of the car and said, "I have something to ask you."
　　 "Okay, Uncle Maori." Yamazaki smiled, and then smiled at Mei Daizi, "Help me take the bag back." Then he handed the school bag to Mei Daizi, and then got in the car and sat next to Maori. Conan sat down with him, and the Mumu Police Department sat in the passenger seat.
　　 Mori asked, "When did you send Dr. Asai away last night, why didn't I know?"
　　 "You went upstairs to deliver beer." Yamazaki whispered in Maori's ear, and then said, "It was past seven o'clock." Then he asked, "Is there any problem, Uncle Maori?"
　　Momemo Police Department said: "We suspect that she is related to a robber incident, please tell us in detail."
"That's it," Yamazaki said. "Dr. Asai came to the Meidai restaurant with Conan wearing Dr. Sawagi's shoes. Later, she wanted to go back to the clinic to change it back, but my mother saw that it was getting late, so I sent her there. We. When I went to the clinic and found that she was not there, we called her on the mobile phone. She said she was okay and asked us to go to her house at 8:30. Then I accompanied Dr. Asai in the fast food restaurant next to Mihua Park until 8:10 Around, then Dr. Asai got in the car and went to Dr. Sawaki’s apartment, and I walked back to the Meidai restaurant. I think the workers in the fast food restaurant should remember us because Dr. Asai used to rent their fax machine."
　　 Mori touched his chin and asked, "Memo Police Department, has kid Bumei said, when did she finish pulling her teeth?"
　　 "I know," Conan said first, "Ayumi said it was around seven and five."
　　 Mumu Police Department said, "It's this time."
　　 Mori happily said, "So, my inference is not wrong." Then he asked, "Megome Police Department, this incident can have that......" He rubbed the first three fingers of his right hand.
　　 Triangular eyes were straightened up, and the police department Mumu said grumpily: "There is nothing to lose, at most this." He put up a finger.
　　 "So few?" Maori said discouragedly, "Well, it's better than nothing."...
　　 Dr. Sawaki’s apartment, the door of the apartment was wide open, and the smell of detergent could be smelled before entering. Maori shouted, "No, she destroyed all the evidence." He rushed in.
　　 Sawaki Yoko came out of the room and stood in front of Maori who had just put on slippers, and asked, "Megome Police Department, what are you?"
　　Megome Police Department introduced: "Doctor Sawgi, this is detective Kogoro Mori, and this is his assistant Yamazaki."
　　 "Mori Kogoro!" Sawagi Yoko was taken aback, and said aloud, "It's the sleeping Kogoro from the last TV broadcast..."
　　Mouri said happily: "Yes, I am the sleeping Kogoro..."
　　 Sawaki Yoko continued, "That mold star?"
　　 "Uh..." Maori was stunned. Meguro Police Department, Yamazaki and Conan laughed together.
　　 "Sorry, Mr. Mori." Sawaki Yoko smiled.
　　 "It's okay, it doesn't matter." Maori said with a twitch of his mouth.
　　 "Do you have a toothache?" Sawaki Yoko asked, "Why don't I see it for you?"
　　 "..." Maori was completely speechless.
　　 "Cough!" Megome Police Department said, "Doctor Sawaki, I'm sorry, I will disturb you without notice."
　　 Sawaki Yoko stepped aside and said, "It's rude, everyone, please come in."
　　 "Doctor Sawgi, are you cleaning up?" Maori asked.
"Yes," said Dr. Sawaki, "because I was called by the police for questioning in the morning, I pushed the appointment for today's clinic, and then it was almost noon after being questioned by the police, so I asked the cleaning company to come if I had nothing to do. They just left for cleaning." Then he said, "Please sit down and I will make coffee."
　　 "Please wait a minute, don't bother you to make coffee, please listen to my reasoning now," said Mori, "because you are the one who went to Katsuhiko Nakamoto's to steal, Sawaki Yoko."
　　 Mumu Police Department said: "But Maori brother, she has an alibi."
Maori said: "The police department, she called Bomi to see the location of Superman Mask last night. In fact, it was not in the clinic, but here. In other words, she took advantage of the anesthesia needle after pulling out Bomi's teeth. The medicinal effect brought her here." Then he pointed to a room, which was different in style from the other rooms in the apartment, full of childishness. On the table there was a set of Masked Superman playing cards, and they faced Sawaki Yoko. Said, "I think this is the room. You wake up Bu Mei, then let her watch the beginning of Masked Superman, and then stun her. This is a very simple matter for you.
　　 Conan interrupted and said, "Ayumi said she fell asleep soon after taking the painkiller."
"That's sleeping pills." Mori said, "Doctor Sawagi, after you stole something from Katsuhiko Nakamoto's house, you rushed back to the clinic with Ayumi, and then woke her up and let her see the ending of Masked Superman. "
　　 "Very good, in the middle of the red heart." Conan whispered.
　　 Yamazaki whispered: "The reasoning is right, but it's a little bit late, the evidence has been cleaned up."
　　 "It's not too late." Conan smiled, "There is one more."
　　 "That's great, you deserve to be the Maori brother." Police Department Megumi smiled, and then asked, "Miss Sawagi Yoko, do you have anything to say?"
　　 Sawaki Yoko asked, "Detective Mori, your speculation is very reasonable, but is there any evidence?"
　　 "Uh..." Maori was stunned~EbookFREE.me~ The Megumi Police Department asked, "Brother Maori, don't you have any evidence?"
"There was evidence, Momo Police Department," Maori smiled bitterly. "Amy's hair or something must be left on the sofa where she lay, and she might have touched something in the room, but now she is called The cleaning company has come, and the evidence must be gone."
　　 Conan interrupted again and said: "By the way, I heard Ayumi say that because she was afraid of toothache, she took a mask of Superman playing card from the table as a talisman before the tooth extraction, and put it back when watching TV after the tooth extraction."
　　 Seeing Sawaki Yoko's face changed, Maori smiled and said: "Memo Police Department, the cleaning company does not clean playing cards, there must be a fingerprint of Ayumi on it, maybe there will be one more."
　　 The police department immediately stepped forward to check. After a while, he found two identical cards from the playing cards, and then asked, "Miss Sawagi Yoko, what else do you have to say?"
　　 Sawaki Yoko said, "I have nothing to say."
　　 Mumu Police Department said: "Then please come with us."
　　 "Mori detective, you really live up to your name." Said Sawaki Yoko.
　　 "Of course, I am the detective Kogoro Mouri." Mouri said and laughed.
　　 Sawaki Yoko said again: "Kid Conan, you did a good job too, no wonder Ayumi said you are also a detective."
　　 "Where, where." Conan said embarrassedly. Then, seeing Sawaki Yoko's calm look, his heart immediately raised it again. This is not right. ...
