Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

"Shh~!" Xingchen waved his left hand gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Conan watched Xingchen's actions and thought to himself, it's a good thing I brought Xingchen here.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult for him to take care of three children alone.

Now he can do it alone.

It also saves on anesthetic needles, which is good news.

When the woman was about to reach the door, a silver card suddenly flew in from the corner.

The knife accurately cut across the woman's wrist. The sudden pain caused the knife in the woman's hand to fall to the ground, and she instinctively covered her injured wrist.

"Go!" Yuantai and Mitsuhiko saw the opportunity and rushed forward quickly. Yuantai used his weight advantage to overwhelm the woman.

Mitsuhiko prevented the woman from getting up and pounced on her.

In an instant, the woman was pinned to the ground, unable to move at all, but she saw a knife not far from her hand.

Thinking of getting the knife and teaching these kids a lesson.

When she thought of this, her arms trembled slightly, and she stretched out her hand as hard as she could to touch the hilt of the knife.

Just as she was about to touch the handle of the knife, a pair of red sneakers caught her eye.

"Ah." She watched the knife being kicked farther away by the sneakers, and looked up to see the owner of the red sneakers, a little kid in a suit.

Ayumi, who came in later, saw a shiny object in the cabinet next to her. It seemed to be the item that fell when the woman was knocked down just now.

"Here's a key." Ayumi walked to the cabinet, picked it up and said.

Haibara Ai followed them in indifferently and saw that there was an obvious keyhole-like thing on the fence near the outside gate.

She turned her head and looked at Ayumi, pointed at the keyhole and said, "Yoshida-san, look here."

"Is this a keyhole?" Ayumi walked over and compared the keyhole with the key in her hand.

Ayumi also understood, and immediately inserted the key and turned it. With a click, the door opened.

"Uncle, are you okay?" Ayumi said as she approached the man.

"I, I'm fine." The man looked at his hands which were full of traces of time, raised his head and looked at the group of people with eyes full of sadness and said, "Let her go, it's actually my fault."

"Why? She has imprisoned you for so long?" Mitsuhiko stood up and said puzzledly.

Yuantai was still pressing down on the woman to prevent her from getting up. After all, not everyone can get up with 80 kilograms of weight on their body.

"Because, because she is my mother." The man whispered.

"What?" Yuanta and Mitsuhiko were shocked.

Conan, who was thinking with his head down, suddenly came to his senses and understood the whole story.

"So that's how it is. At first we thought this house was empty, but there are a few things that are very strange." Conan looked at them and began to reason.

"The brand new door we came in through at the beginning was probably built after the murder. It was designed to allow us to enter and exit without attracting attention."

"Isn't it very strange that there is water coming to a house with no one in it and the water supply has not been cut off?"

"Combined with the current situation, there is only one truth. You were the one who killed the previous owner." Conan walked up to them and pointed at the man in the cage.

Then Xingchen looked at the woman with pity and said, "So in order to protect your son, you imprisoned him in this dungeon to avoid the judgment of the law."

"You can live here and know the people here so well. It's very likely that you are actually a family."

"It's not like that. My son is not a murderer!" The woman said excitedly while lying on the ground. If Yuan Tai hadn't been pressing on her, she would have stood up.

"Don't say anymore. Just as you said, I was the one who killed my father. I am guilty of a heinous crime." The man's eyes revealed clear self-awareness and pain. He supported himself on the ground with his hands and retorted loudly with a trembling voice.

He couldn't accept this painful life anymore.

"Here's what happened." The man began to slowly tell the truth about the painful incident five years ago.

At that time, he failed the college entrance examination for the third time.

But when I returned home, I was not greeted with comfort from my father. Instead, he continued to abuse and belittle me.

He was already in a low mood, and suddenly an emotion arose in his mind.

kill him.

And this emotion reached its peak in his father's sarcastic abuse.

At that moment he lost his mind.

When he came to his senses, he already had the candlestick in his hand.

Next to him was his father lying in a pool of blood.

The mother who happened to arrive saw this and she thought of a solution.

He will be buried here until the legal period of statute of limitations ends.

So just as they said, the mother made the scene look like a break-in and then locked him in this cage.

"Why, won't you let me protect myself? I don't want to live this kind of cowardly life anymore, dreaming about the time when I killed my father every day." The man roared at the end of his words.

"I've had enough! I want to atone for my sins!" The man held his head and cried.

“That way life will be easier.”

"Akio... hold on a little longer, maybe the retroactive period will be over." The woman stretched out her hand and said with a look of reluctance in her eyes.

"Yes, if he keeps hiding, he can indeed escape the punishment of the law. But he will never escape the condemnation of his conscience, which is like the cage he is in now, tightly trapping his spirit."

"What's the difference between this and the Walking Dead?" Xingchen said slowly.

"Madam, do you really want your son to bear this heavy price for the rest of his life?" Conan said with his hands in his pockets, looking at the woman on the ground.

After hearing their words, Yuantai silently let go of the woman. The woman collapsed on the ground and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Half an hour later, the rain outside stopped.

Xingchen also contacted Officer Megure, and he hurried over. After all, it was not the first time he was called out of bed to go to work.

Even this incident was a mystery from five years ago, and it was closed hastily.

The most important point is that Conan and his group of kids are brought along, and the level instantly becomes even more different.

Now, the woman was supporting Zhaofu, and there were police watching on both sides.

Although his hands were handcuffed, his face did not show the frustration of a prisoner but a relaxed smile, as he could finally be cleansed of his sins.

Ayumi watched them leave and whispered, "He's so pitiful."

"Maybe this is a twisted kind of love." Huibara Ai said with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"The freedom of mind and body are the most precious things. If he lives his life in a muddle, just like his mother said, he will be able to live his life in a muddle."

"If he doesn't face up to the sins he has committed, with his persistence, he will definitely be mentally shackled."

"From now on, I will lose my spiritual freedom." Haibara Ai continued to mutter as she watched the two people get into the police car.

Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement.

Yuantai was a little at a loss, perhaps it was a little too profound for him.

"Don't be so sad. After all, this is their choice, isn't it?" Officer Takagi bent down and looked at their sad faces and smiled. He always felt that this girl was quite mature.

But Conan and the others are really worrying, it’s so late now.

Still hanging out outside.

"By the way, Officer Megure asked me to take you back. Please get in the car." Officer Takagi walked to the car, opened the door and said to the group.
