Chapter 0384: The Coin of Huazhen Station

Monday, March 31, afternoon, Huazhen Station.

Maori took Yamazaki and dragged Conan, Ran, and Mei Daiko to the Mizunokawa Line train where the incident occurred, and after reporting his name outside, a person came out, "I'm Yosuke Kobayashi, the captain of the Hanajin Railway Police Team, and I've heard your name for Detective Maori, so thank you very much for coming to assist us in our investigation this time." ā€

Maori smiled proudly: "Where, where, please advise." ā€

Conan and Yamazaki glanced at each other and laughed together, and they might not know what kind of reputation they heard.

When he arrived at the scene, he saw a man sitting on his seat with his head unnaturally tilted, the index finger of his right hand was obviously broken, and an open bag was placed next to it, next to the bag was an open empty wallet, and there was an open can of coffee on the table in front of him, Maori asked, "What is the cause of death?"

Yosuke Kobayashi said, "It may be a myocardial infarction, and the detailed results will not be known until the autopsy." ā€

"Coffee, uncle. Yamazaki whispered.

Maori pointed to the coffee and asked, "Is there any of this can of coffee?"

Yosuke Kobayashi looked at the forensic personnel, and one of them said, "At present, no problem has been found, and it has been sent for testing." ā€

Maori pointed to the empty wallet and asked, "Where did the money go?"

"This," said Yosuke Kobayashi, "may have been taken by someone." ā€

"No, Officer Kobayashi, this is a robbery incident," Maori laughed, "You see, the victim's finger was broken, and it must have been robbed, and this person had a heart attack, and he accidentally had a myocardial infarction in his excitement." ā€

"Ah, Detective Maori, you're so right. Yosuke Kobayashi said with a smile.

Maori asked, "Who found the body?"

"You mean......" Yosuke Kobayashi laughed, "but that's unlikely." ā€

"It's not uncommon for the first discoverer to be the murderer," Maori said. ā€

Yosuke Kobayashi smiled: "You will know it when you see it." Then he instructed his subordinates to bring the finder, a middle-aged woman covered in gold ornaments, with several employees of the tram.

Blinking his little eyes that were dangling with gold ornaments, Maori agreed with Yosuke Kobayashi's statement, and then asked, "Madam, how did you find the body?

"He was the only one in the carriage when I came. "I found out later that he had been sitting in this strange position, and I thought it strange and went to look at him, and then I found that he was dead." ā€

Maori asked, "So, what is the time?"

Madame Goldsmith said, "Ten minutes ago, at 3:50 p.m. ā€

"No," Mori laughed, "I'm asking you when you got into the car." ā€

Madame Goldsmith said, "Three thirty-four p.m. ā€

Maori asked, "So accurate?"

Lady Gold said, "Because the train stopped at Mizunokawa Station for an extra five minutes before it left. ā€

"We got a call that someone had dropped an important document in the car, but we didn't find the document and we didn't see the person, so we left five minutes later," the captain said. Then I sped up on the way and arrived at Huazhen Station on time. ā€

Yosuke Kobayashi asked a few trainee employees, "The last time you saw this, um," and took the ID card handed by his subordinates, "When was Mr. Utsumi?"

One of the ticket inspectors said: "I checked his ticket around 3:20 p.m. ā€

A flight attendant said, "Then he bought a can of coffee from me for 10,000 yen. ā€

"Ten thousand yen?" said Conan, "it's going to take a lot of change." ā€

"Don't interject. "Maori punched Conan and planted a mushroom on his head.

"Yes, and he also asks for coins," the flight attendant said, "and by the way, I see he has a lot of coins in his wallet, and he probably likes to collect them." ā€

Yosuke Kobayashi asked Mrs. Goldsmith, "Madam, can you take a look at your wallet?"

"Yes. Madame Goldsmith said.

Maori smiled: "No need to check, Officer Kobayashi, the victim had a fight before his death, just look at the lady is so neat and know that it is not her." ā€

"That's just as well. Yosuke Kobayashi said and asked the train attendant, "By the way, when you handed the can of coffee to the victim, was the can of coffee intact?"

"Yes, yes. The flight attendant was taken aback and hurriedly looked at the ticket inspector.

The ticket inspector hurriedly said, "I saw that he opened it himself." ā€

Yosuke Kobayashi said, "In that case, this incident happened between 3:20 p.m. and 3:34 p.m., on the train. Then he instructed, "The murderer may get off at Mizunokawa Station and notify the other side to pay attention." Then he said to Maori, "Maori detective, thank you so much for your help." ā€

Maori smiled: "It's okay, you're busy." After speaking, he took the four of Yamazaki and left the scene.

Walking behind, Yamazaki asked Conan, "Did you find anything?"

Conan said, "Yes, but I don't know how Mr. Utsumi was killed. ā€

"Tell me about it. Yamazaki said.

"Swap," said Conan, "if not, you owe me once." ā€

"Then I didn't say it. Yamazaki said, "You can play slowly by yourself." ā€

Conan asked, "You didn't find anything?"

"No," Yamazaki said, "there are no obvious injuries to Mr. Utsumi's body. If there was no problem with that coffee, it would be hard to imagine why he didn't call and run away. ā€

"I'm thinking about that too. Conan said, holding his chin.

"It's not too early, I think you better go and get the murderer out first. Yamazaki said.

"Well, the rest is left to the police. Conan said helplessly, and then asked, "Can you take Midako away?" ā€

Yamazaki smiled, "Yes." ā€

After a while, the five of them returned to the waiting chairs, and Mori dozed off again, and Yamazaki suggested going to the shop at Hanajin Station to see what specialties were available, and after Midiko and Ran agreed, the three of them went together. As soon as they left, Conan insured Mori, who had his eyes closed, with an anesthetic needle, and then went to Yosuke Kobayashi to tell him that Mori wanted to understand who the murderer was, and asked him to find Mr. Date and Mr. Sato in Hanajin Station.

Soon after, Conan, who was standing next to the waiting chair, saw Yosuke Kobayashi coming with two of his subordinates, Mr. Date and Mr. Sato, and immediately hid behind the chair and picked up the bow tie that had already been adjusted.

Conan said in a Maori voice, "Mr. Sato, Mr. Date, let me introduce myself first, it's Maori Kogoro below." I came here because you were related to the murder of Mr. Utsumi. ā€

"What?" said Mr. Sato in surprise, "What are you talking about, Utsumi is dead, we just separated two hours ago!"

Yosuke Kobayashi asked, "So, you're all together?"

Mr. Date said, "No, we were sitting on the Yamanoyu line, and we didn't see him. ā€

Conan said in a Maori voice, "Officer Kobayashi, the murderer of this incident is Mr. Date, who took advantage of the five-minute delay of the Mizunokawa Line train to kill Mr. Utsumi. ā€

"What?" asked Yosuke Kobayashi, "Mr. Mori, can you explain in detail?"

"No kidding, I've been on the Yamanoyu Line train. Mr. Date asked, "Is that so, Sato?"

Mr. Sato said, "This, Ida, you really didn't kill Utsumi?"

"What did you say?" Mr. Date asked rhetorically, "you don't suspect me about that, do you?"

"What happened?" asked Yosuke Kobayashi, "What is it?"

"It was a slanderous incident," Mr. Date said, "and Utsumi slandered me for receiving kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies, and we had a big fight." ā€

"Pharmaceutical companies?" asked Yosuke Kobayashi, "May I ask ......who you are?"

"All three of us are doctors at Kurokawa Hospital in Rice Flower Town. I drew some free meal tickets in the shopping street, and I happened to be closed today, so I came to the hot spring town yesterday afternoon. But I didn't expect that after I came, I was actually treated with only wild vegetables, and I was a little angry. Mr. Date laughed, "We all drank a lot of free beer, and then we all got drunk, woke up and had another free beer, and then went back to the hot springs." ā€

"Heh, heh," Yosuke Kobayashi said with a smile, "It's a trick played by the bosses of those hot spring streets, but the price of their stuff is not expensive." Usually there are not many people on these informants, but thanks to this, many people have come to the rest days in the past few months. ā€

"Ahem, Mr. Date, I remember that not long after the Yunoyama Line train departed from Yunoyama Station, you got into an argument with Mr. Sato because of the rush to pay for the ticket, and you separated because of it, and then you didn't show up in that car, and I didn't see you again until the Yunoyama Line train arrived at Hanajin Station. Conan asked in a Maori voice, "Excuse me, Mr. Date, where are you in between?"

Mr. Date said, "I've been in other cars. ā€

"Always? I don't think so. Conan said in a Mori voice, "The Yunoyama Line train arrived at Mizunokawa Station at 3:30 p.m., and the Mizunogawa Line train was supposed to depart from Mizunokawa Station at 3:30 p.m., but it was stopped for an extra five minutes because someone made a lost and found call. The caller is you, Mr. Date, and you made this call using your mobile phone before the departure of the Mizunagawa Line train, and before making this call, you should have spoken to the victim, Mr. Utsumi, on the phone and asked him to find a car with no one or few people. Then you used those five minutes to run a round trip between the Yunoyama Line tram and the Mizunokawa Line tram and killed Mr. Utsumi. ā€

"How is this possible," Mr. Date laughed, "and how do you say I killed the Inland Sea?" ā€

"Mr. Utsumi has no obvious injuries on his body, and I don't know what method you used to harm him. Conan said in a Maori voice, "But what proof do I know you're a murderer?"

"Where's the evidence, could it be that you recorded the phone?" Mr. Date laughed, "then let it out and see if it matches mine." ā€

"Mr. Date, mobile phones can be found just as much as landlines. Conan said in a Maori voice, "Even if you delete the call logs. ā€

"Then wait until you find out. Mr. Date said, "Now I'm leaving." ā€

Yosuke Kobayashi shouted, "Mr. Maori?"

Conan asked in a Maori voice, "Mr. Date, can you take your wallet out?"

"Wallet?" Mr. Date was taken aback.

Yosuke Kobayashi said, "Mr. Date, please take out your wallet." ā€

"Alright," Mr. Date said, pulling out his wallet.

Yosuke Kobayashi looked at it and said, "Mr. Mori, there is nothing suspicious about this wallet, and there are only a few coins, less than three thousand yen." ā€

"Most of the others are here. Yamazaki returned with a plastic bag, followed by Ran and Midako, who were still carrying some souvenirs in their hands.

Lan smiled, "He has a lot of coins in his wallet, I thought he liked to collect them." ā€

Mei Daizi smiled: "How do you know that he buys things with coins, it's really strange." ā€

Yamazaki smiled, "That's it, Officer Kobayashi." As he spoke, he handed over the plastic bag.

"What's wrong with these coins? You can't say that you have Uchimi's fingerprints on them to condemn me, do you? Utsumi likes coins, and he has seen them one by one. Mr. Date said, "Sato's too." ā€

"That's right. Mr. Sato said, "Utsumi also looked at my coins. ā€

"Mr. Utsumi's fingers break because you are holding on to the button on your collar, and you broke it when you broke it free, and the button on your collar came loose because of it. You yourself know this, so you wiped Mr. Utsumi's fingerprints. Conan said in a Maori voice, "You took all the banknotes and coins from Mr. Utsumi's wallet in order to make the scene appear to be a robber and murder, but you are so greedy for money that you don't even spare Mr. Utsumi's favorite coin." Then he asked, "Mr. Date, I wonder if you noticed the can of coffee on Mr. Utsumi's desk, and how do you think it came from?"

"How?" said Mr. Date's face changed.

"Of course I bought it from the flight attendant. Ah!" Yosuke Kobayashi said in surprise, "There are flight attendant's fingerprints on it." Then he asked, "Mr. Date, why did the coin with the fingerprints of a train attendant on the Suinogawa Line appear in your wallet, a passenger of the Yamanoyu Line, could you please explain?"

Mr. Date slurred, "I—I'm picking up ......."

"Don't say you picked it up. Yamazaki laughed, "There are so many people at the station, you can pick up a check on the ground that can be cashed, but you can't pick up a handful of coins put together." ā€ā€¦ā€¦
