"Cake?" A look of surprise flashed across Mr. Tsunashima's face. "You... What are you talking about? ”

"At 11:27 a.m., Mr. Tsunashima, you bought a cheesecake at a convenience store near you here — your face can be seen on surveillance video, and the clerk confirmed that the cake wrapper we found in the kitchen trash can was indeed the wrapper of the kind of cake you bought at that convenience store."

(This convenience store is the store where Qianyu and they cracked a case where customers had been living on the ceiling, so the owner of the store would allow Qianyu to adjust the surveillance.) ）

"Ah...... "Mr. Tsunashima's face is quite unsightly." I remembered that I just wanted to have a little cake before I came, so I went to a convenience store...... But I just threw the bag in the trash after eating. ”

"Did you throw it in the trash after eating?" Gray Plains tilted his head. "That's interesting, because we don't think the blue spot on Doyle's mouth is the color of Mr. Garner's dessert at home, don't you think?"

With that, Gray Hara's eyes walked over to the cup that Garner Teru had used to feed Doyle, and pointed to the small blue dots floating inside—no doubt the food scraps that had been washed off Doyle's mouth while he was feeding Doyle.

"I've only had strawberry cake in my house for the last two weeks, but this one looks like the scraps of blueberry cake?" Kana Teru also realized that something was wrong, and looked at the cup as well, and then turned to Mr. Tsunashima. "Mr. Tsunashima, you-"

Just as Kana Teru looked at Mr. Tsunashima in disbelief, Conan didn't know when he was standing in the doorway - from his position, it seemed that he must have secretly left and walked back.

"Mr. Tsunashima, you are the only one who has the conditions to commit this incident," Conan said calmly. "Because only you, who have just chosen that pendulum clock as a gift, can hide the gem that you have secretly dug up from Doyle's collar in it. And according to what you just said, it's you who check behind the speaker, and only when you're the initiator, the case won't be exposed. ”

"You can go and see the structure inside the speaker, I think Doyle must have eaten the cake that Mr. Tsunashima had prepared and mixed in sleeping pills, and then poured it on the back of the speaker." Conan continued. "But even though Doyle has lost his ability to move and is asleep, the mechanism behind the speaker only has the ability to switch on/off, and does not have the ability to control itself, which means that the speaker has no way to lock Doyle in on its own - it can only be done by someone human."

"So, Mr. Tsunashima, can you explain why you didn't find the one behind Doyle? I mean in addition to the fact that you're the murderer yourself, and you've hidden Doyle in the speakers under the pretext of looking at the back. ”

"......" Mr. Tsunashima's breathing became noticeably shorter, and he did not give any explanation for Conan's questioning.

"Mr. Tsunashima......" Miss Tosabin stammered as she looked at Mr. Tsunashima. You said you'd check it out...... You can't really do these things, do you? ”

While everyone was waiting for Mr. Tsunashima's answer, Mr. Tsunashima suddenly pushed away Dr. Asa and Miss Tosabin next to him, and ran to the door of the living room.

He wants to run!

"Catch him!" With Genta's order, he, Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi chased after him together.

But in them are not the most responsive.

"Wang!" With a very loud dog bark, Arthur, who was originally lying lazily on the floor looking at Doyle, had already stood up, and then Xianyuantai and the others rushed out in one step, and Christie, who was originally lying next to it, also stood up and chased out together.

Then, there was the sound of the door being opened, and it was clear that Mr. Tsunashima was planning to break out of the room and escape. At this time, everyone reacted and chased them out together.

When they chased out, they found that although the door was opened, Mr. Tsunashima was just standing in the doorway and did not flee - although it is unknown whether he could not escape or did not choose to escape.

Arthur had already bitten the elbow fabric of Mr. Tsunashima's clothes and hung himself up, and Christie had already bitten Mr. Tsunashima's pants.

"Let go of me!" Mr. Tsunashima threatened in a very stern tone, and his fists were always hanging in the air, as if he was going to hit Arthur at any moment. But Arthur still bit his sleeve and had no intention of backing down, just glaring fiercely at Mr. Tsunashima.

After about ten seconds, Mr. Tsunashima's originally fierce posture suddenly calmed down, and he sighed helplessly.

It can be seen from the fact that Doyle was sealed alive in the speaker and blamed Miss Renko for this, that Mr. Tsunashima did not live up to his status as a senior member of the dog association. And now that he has chosen to stop, it also proves that he is a true dog lover.

However, after a few seconds, they realized that there was actually another reason - first, it was not that Mr. Tsunashima did not choose to escape, but that it was impossible to escape. Secondly, one of the reasons why Mr. Tsunashima didn't hit the dog may be that it doesn't make sense to hit the dog.

"Mr. Tsunashima, thank you for your cooperation," said Chiba, who had just outside the door with a traceless umbrella, finished loading the second crossbow arrow, glancing at the crossbow arrow that had fallen to the ground after a very obvious mark had been carved into the wall beside Mr. Tsunashima. "I'm glad I didn't have to cause trouble for you and me."

"Mr. Tsunashima, may I ask why?" Ghana Teruya's mood was not high, and he just asked with some frustration. "I want a reason."

"Because I don't have any money," Mr. Tsunashima smiled wryly as he shook his head—and at the same time, Christie and Arthur were relieved as if they realized something, and just crouched quietly beside Mr. Tsunashima. "As you know, I have a lot of dogs at home, so the expenses are so big that it's hard for me to feed them with my income......"

"Then you can't sell some?" Miss Tosabin laughed angrily. "Do you have to leave these dogs in your house for your hobby?"

"I can't sell it," Mr. Tsunashima smiled wryly. "Those dogs are mongrels, the kind that can't be delivered. If I don't adopt, they'll die on the streets. ”

A long silence ensued, until Ghana Teruya spoke again.

"Mr. Tsunashima, this gem ...... I give it to you. ”

"What?" Mr. Tsunashima was stunned.

"For you," he said, taking the gem from Ai Ashbara (Chiba gave it to Ai for safekeeping), and Teru Garner stuffed the gem into Mr. Tsunashima's palm. "The gems on this collar are made for dogs, so now I want you to make these gems give their full worth to dogs."

"......" Mr. Tsunashima opened his mouth wide, his surprise overflowing. Then, he suddenly knelt down and aimed at Ghana Teruya in a five-body posture.

"Thank you...... Thank you......" he said, weeping.
