Conan: Money Talks

After getting drunk, Kogoro Mori and Jun Omura started to talk about family matters.

Miyamoto Han could only eat peanuts boredly, occasionally observing the surrounding environment. When he met Conan's eyes, he immediately avoided them. The last time he embezzled 1 billion gold bars, he was almost discovered by Conan. Miyamoto Han is still a little scared! Fortunately, there is a magical system.

The two had just opened a can of beer when they heard the sound of glass breaking in the next room. The sound of glass breaking sobered them up and they quickly followed Miyamoto Han to the next room.

At this time, the ground was full of broken glass!

A man's voice came from downstairs

"Hey, Ikuta, what's wrong with you? Hey!! Ikuta!"

Miyamoto Han looked down from the window.

A car drove over from the end of the road, and the light shone on the shouting man.

At this moment, the man was frightened and collapsed to the ground.

The man he called Ikuta fell to the ground, and blood was flowing from his head.

Conan reacted extremely quickly and rushed downstairs.

Inspector Megure arrived at the scene soon.

The victim was Yoshiro Ikuta, 20 years old, a sophomore student at Beika University. The first discoverer was a classmate named Kusaka who was still harming people.

"Could you please describe what happened at that time?" Inspector Megure took out a small notebook and asked

"Oh, I had an appointment with Ikuta to meet here at 10 o'clock tonight, but I didn't expect that when I saw him and was about to talk, Ikuta suddenly fell down."

"Was there anyone else next to you at that time?"

"No. But it was dark, so maybe I didn’t see him, and the street light was broken, so I couldn’t see Ikuta clearly."

"Hey! Rixia, what happened here?

A man in a blue short-sleeved shirt came running over from a distance.

"Who are you?"

"Hello, officer. I am Kusaka's classmate. My name is Shimizu. By the way, what happened here?Ikuta? What's going on?"

"He didn't know who killed him."Inspector Megure replied

"how so"

"It's still under investigation. By the way, besides you, is there anyone else around here with Ikuta?"

"Our club is having a party at Takeno's house." Shimizu pointed to an apartment behind.

"Can you take us to see it?"

"goodOK!"

In the apartment, Takeno's

"Hello, my name is Takeno. I didn't expect this to happen in Ikuta."

"My name is Nakamura"

""Why are you all gathered here?" Inspector Megure asked.

In this cramped room, there was a smell of cigarettes and alcohol everywhere, and snack residues on the table could be seen everywhere.

"We are members of the mountaineering club in the university, and we just came here to have a drink today." Takeno replied

"As for Ikuta, at what time did he leave here?"

"I think it was around nine or ten, but we were all a little drunk so we didn't really pay attention to the time."

Takeno replied,"Oh, by the way, I heard Ikuta receive a call from Kusaka at that time. I guess it was because of this call that Ikuta went out!"

"Hey, when did I ever ask Ikuta to leave?" Hiashita was confused.

"Am I right? Qingshui, I think you should have heard it at that time."

"It was indeed Kusaka who called Ikuta out at that time." Shimizu nodded and said

"Why are you like this? How could I call Ikuta out?"Kusaka took a step back and waved his hands.

Maori Kogoro asked:"By the way, Mr. Kusaka, why did you suddenly go out during that time?"

"What does this mean? That's because Ikuta left a note in my school locker, asking us to leave at this time. I thought he had something to tell me."

"Where is the note?" Maori Kogoro asked

"The note disappeared after I put it back in the locker."

"Haha, I don’t think it’s gone, but it’s completely gone.There is none, right?" Maori Kogoro's nose was almost touching Kusaka's face.

"How is that possible?" Kusaka shook his head repeatedly,"Why would I kill Ikuta?"

"I remember that Ikuta seemed to have stolen your tuition fees, Kusaka?" Shimizu folded her arms,"Could it be that you are holding a grudge against him?"

"Really?" Kogoro continued to ask.

"Even though Ikuta stole the money that was supposed to be used for my tuition, I'm not stupid enough to kill him for that little bit of money!"

"That’s not necessarily true." Takeno added,"Kusaka, your family background seems to be quite ordinary!"

"Hey! If that's the case, you seem to have enough reason to kill him, right?" Rixia counterattacked and said

"Oh?" Kogoro looked triumphant, perhaps his original intention was to force them to tell the truth!

"Haha, how could I hate him?"Nakamura folded his arms

"Humph, Nakamura, I remember that Ikuta borrowed a lot of money from you before, but it seems that he never paid it back? And you! Takeno, don't think we don't know that you have always been resentful of Ikuta because of Keiko's death! Our entire mountaineering club knows it!"

"What's going on here?" Inspector Megure turned his head to Takeno,"Who is Keiko they are talking about?"

"Keiko was my ex-girlfriend. A year and a half ago, Keiko and Ikuta went to climb a snowy mountain. A sudden snowstorm hit halfway, killing both of them. Ikuta left Keiko behind and came back alone. When the rescue team came up the mountain to rescue her, Keiko had already died.However, it was not Ikuta's fault. If Ikuta had not come back, there would only be one more person freezing.���In the snowy mountains."

Inspector Megure nodded and asked,"At the time of the crime, around ten o'clock, did anyone of you leave this room except Kusaka?"

"I don’t have any." Nakamura replied

"I don't have one either." Takeno also shook his head.

"That's not right, Nakamura, I remember you seemed to have left the room halfway through."Qi Shui reminded

"Hey, it was just two or three minutes, how could someone kill someone in such a short time?" Nakamura argued loudly.

"Since you are mountain climbers, you can definitely use a rope to climb down from the window and then kill Ikuta, right?" Maori Kogoro said.

"Haha, this is impossible, because the window in this room is not large enough for an adult male to pass through!"
