"Let's continue practicing again."

After the lunch break, a group of children reluctantly gathered in the dojo. After replenishing water, Mao Lilan walked to the front.

"Everyone, as long as you hold on a little longer this afternoon, you can go home."

Because it was getting dark, there was not enough light in the dojo, so Tamagawa who was at the door quickly turned on the light.

"Crack!"

Within two minutes of turning on the lights, the entire building plunged into darkness, accompanied by Xiaolan's exclamations and the cheers of the children.

"Sure enough, the children will be happy if there is no class." Conan sat on the ground with his hands on his hips.

"Don't worry, because the building is very old, so as long as there are more electrical appliances, they will trip. I will just go and take a look."

"Does that mean it can be repaired immediately?"

Such a sentence came out among the children, which directly caused most of the children to wail. After training in the morning and several hours of rest, they were all sore.

The lights returned to normal immediately, Ryota Tamagawa left and returned, and the children had to reluctantly continue training, but it didn't take long for another incident to occur.

"Who! Someone help! Someone come quickly!"

The children in training stopped again. The young detective team who were sensitive to exclamations ran the fastest, followed closely by Mao Lilan and Tamagawa Ryota.

A group of people ran up the stairs. Halfway between the third and fourth floors, the children noticed a man in a jacket who was trembling slightly and slowly retreating from the door.

"Mr. Namisugi!"

Tamagawa Ryota was blocked by children on the stairs on the upper half floor. He raised his eyes and saw an acquaintance: "It is indeed you. The voice sounds very similar to me."

"Tamachuan! You're here!"

Mr. Namisugi pointed to the inside of the room and said in horror: "Momohara, he...him!"

"Hakuhara? What's wrong with him?"

Tamagawa squeezed through the children, and when he stood at the door, his face turned pale, and he pulled Conan who was still about to walk in.

"First...call the police first!"

The fourth floor was temporarily not allowed to go up, so the children had to return to the dojo on the first floor. Only then did they realize that the parents seemed to understand what had happened, so they took their children home one after another.

"That's fine, it's not very convenient for solving crimes if it's messy."

Conan was quickly surrounded, and several elementary school students urged him to quickly explain his character.

"Anyway, Conan must have found out already." Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Genta all affirmed this.

Huiyuan Ai pulled Li Shi and said firmly: "If you don't find out clearly, you will not agree to Xiaolan coming to help them."

"You..." The young man had no choice but to tell everything he knew.

The target of the sale in the Tamagawa Building is the one mentioned by the two people just now, Momohara. The building has four floors. The top floor is used by Momohara and Momohara’s classmate Namisugi as offices. The second and third floors have door panels and doors installed between the stairs and floors. The security door was leased to a multinational electronics company not far away for use as a dormitory.

"Those bald guys are all programmers. They come back at two or three in the morning every day and go out at eight in the morning. There is no need to worry about them."

At Tamagawa Ryukan, due to the long-term recession, Tamagawa Ryota was actually in arrears with his wages for several months, and Baihara had long been unwilling to rent another floor to him.

"Mr. Tamagawa, the suspicion is high." After hearing this, Li Shi made his first judgment: "The house that was originally my own home, now not only has to rent it, but the other party also wants to kick me out."

"But the reason is that he failed to live up to his expectations. He sold the house himself, and others are not obligated to rent their house to him. And if he can promote the gym, it will be for the sake of the fact that he was the landlord in the past. , I don’t think the current owner will refuse to rent it to him.”

Haihara Ai looked at Li Shi seriously: "If the gym makes money, even if the rent increases a little, Tamagawa himself probably won't care."

"That's right. It would be too scary to kill someone because of something like this."

The girl did not continue talking. Anyway, Tamagawa had nothing to do with her. Li Shi felt that there was no point in arguing with classmates and friends over Mr. Bai Yuan who had already collapsed on the fourth floor.

"The police are coming!"

The person who appeared at the door of the gym was neither Takagi nor Chiba, but the unexpected police officer Megure.

"Officer Megure, why is it you!"

Several little ones came running over one after another. Speaking of the current police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department, the one who has the most "comradeship" with children is probably Officer Megure. Even Takagi, Sato and Matsuda may not be able to compare.

"I also want to know why it's me."

The fat police officer held the hat on his head and sighed helplessly: "Chiba is going on a date, Sato is still on wedding leave, Shiratori's family is discussing business today and asked for leave, and Takagi hasn't sent the injured Datehan and that mountain village back to Gunma County yet. return."

There was no one who could be used in the search section of the entire Metropolitan Police Department today. In desperation, his immediate boss had to temporarily take over.

"That's strange. Didn't you make it clear about staying on duty? Officer Chiba can definitely stay." Conan looked at Megure in confusion.

"Actually, it's because I was lazy and didn't read their submission reports, so I stamped them all casually." Officer Megure couldn't help but said: "I've already approved it, and I still have to call Chiba back. I'm really embarrassed. ”

"That's what I said, but if another case happens somewhere now, I'll have to call those who are on vacation and dating back to work."

Conan's teasing made Inspector Megure laugh awkwardly. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then immediately called the police behind him to seal off the scene and collect evidence.

"So, kids, you should tell me what you know now." Inspector Megure pretended to be surprised: "Or did you find nothing this time?"

"Really! Inspector Megure actually looked down on us! I tell you..."

The fact is that Inspector Megure knows these kids too well. He knows the information that would have taken a long time to find out in the past without any effort, so he immediately asked someone to invite Namikagi and Tamagawa to the gym's lounge for tea.

"It looks like the criminal is among them."

After instructing the kids not to touch anything, Inspector Megure led the Junior Detective Team to the crime scene after the police finished collecting evidence.

"When the deceased was found, he was lying on the desk, with heavy bleeding from his head. It was obvious that he was hit by a blunt object."

Inspector Megure held a photo, showed it to the kids, and then pointed to the desk and chair where the body had been taken away.

"It looks like the deceased died this afternoon, and it should be no more than three hours since he was found."

Because Huiyuan Ai deliberately blocked the photo, only Conan saw it. The wound on the deceased's head had not turned black when the photo was taken.

"And, look."

Conan walked to the cabinet on the side of the office. White steam rose from the cabinet. In addition to the smell of blood, the whole room was mixed with a strong aroma of coffee. The only strange thing was that the coffee container was full of coffee, and it was obvious that no one had drunk a sip.
