Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

"That's right." Sato Miwako continued to recall: "The boy who died in the car accident, his parents who had long been divorced, strongly advocated this as the cause of the accident, but the judge did not agree with it."

"His parents divorced a long time ago," Inspector Megure repeated.

"Yes, I heard that the divorce was caused by alcoholism." Sato Miwako nodded and said, "I remember his divorced father's name seemed to be..."

"That person should be named Dingjin, right?" Conan said

"Yes, his surname is Dingjin." Sato Miwako nodded, but she was a little surprised why Conan knew it.

Gao Mushi said: "Wait, I remember that the security guard just now seemed to be named Dingjin as well."

"Could it be that the culprit in the case is the security guard?" said Officer Megure.

In an instant, everyone except Conan and Haibara Ai was shocked.

"Brother Takagi, you must immediately find out what happened to the car accident a year ago." Officer Megure ordered.

"Yes!" Takagi Shigeru responded and quickly turned and left.

"Go and find the whereabouts of the deposit guard immediately!" Officer Megure looked at the other officers and ordered.

"Yes." The other police officers responded.

"But how did you know?"

Conan slowly explained to Sato Miwako that the criminals attacked girls who were wearing thick-soled shoes and drove to the mall, which is basically invisible from outside the car.

So he thought that the security guard who could see guests getting on and off the car in the underground parking lot was rather suspicious.

"The problem is that two of the victims said the murderer was around 150cm tall," Maori Kogoro asked in confusion, "and the guard said he was 167cm tall."

Conan quickly patted his head and looked at Maori Kogoro and laughed: "Ahaha, uncle, you are playing dumb again."

"That's because of the thick-soled shoes. A magazine said that thick-soled shoes are a must when doing black makeup. And didn't Officer Takagi say before that the two victims described the criminal's height as being about the same height as themselves?" Haibara Ai suddenly said with her arms folded across her chest.

"In other words, they saw the criminals while wearing thick-soled shoes." Huihara Ai said lightly.

Conan looked at her in shame, thinking to himself, this woman is just afraid of being exposed.

"Yes, most of the thick-soled shoes worn by black people are about 10 centimeters high," said Mao Lilan.

"Yes, we measured their heights when they came to the General Bureau for interrogation. At that time, they were there to record their statements, so of course they didn't wear such exaggerated thick-soled shoes." Sato Miwako recalled the situation at that time.

"That's not right. If the criminals wanted to take revenge on Miss Aizawa, why would they ambush in this place? Wouldn't it be enough to just go to her house and find her?" Kogoro Mouri asked another question.

"Have you forgotten, Maori?"

"The deceased is only 20 years old this year. She should have been a minor when the car accident happened a year ago." Matsumoto Kiyonaga reminded: "The police will not release the address of underage suspects."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga continued, "So the criminal could only ambush in this place, the parking lot where his son was hit. Because he believed that the girl would come to this department store to buy things one day."

"But she never showed up, and his patience ran out." Matsumoto Kiyonaga said to Maori Kogoro, "So he turned his anger on those girls who wore thick-soled shoes and drove here by themselves."

bump!

Inspector Megure seemed to have thought of something and hit the hood of the car with his fist.

Just when everyone was still confused.

Takagi Wataru hurried back and shouted, "Inspector, I have investigated the whole case. The guard is indeed the father of the boy who died in the car accident a year ago. There is no doubt about it."

Officer Megure turned around and asked, "Where is he now?"

Takagi Wataru said: "I don't know. We found his car in the parking lot, but we didn't see him."

When Conan was about to think, he saw Mao Lilan looking around as if looking for something and asked, "What's wrong, Xiaolan sister?"

"I find it strange that Sonoko and Xiaochen haven't come back yet." Mao Lilan said with some concern: "She said that after putting her things in the car, she would go to the bathroom, and Xiaochen followed her."

"Put the things in the car." Conan suddenly remembered that the shoes Sonoko was wearing were...

the other side.

Suzuki Sonoko and Xingchen were walking up the stairs, and the floor signs in the stairwell emitted an eerie white light.

"Ha, we must go upstairs. Only the restaurant upstairs is still open. We can take their elevator downstairs so we don't have to walk so far." Suzuki Sonoko put her hands in her pockets and looked at Xingchen and explained, "You have to know that wearing these thick-soled shoes is very tiring."

"Is...is that so." Xingchen said embarrassedly. Is that so?

Wait, thick-soled shoes. A beam of light flashed through Xingchen's mind, and he knew why the criminal wanted to attack Yuanzi, and why he had attacked those girls before.

Jingle bell bell~!

"Hmm?" Suzuki Sonoko took out her cell phone from her pocket and answered it: "Oh my god, it's Xiaolan."

Suzuki Sonoko held Xingchen's hand and said, "Now, Xiaochen and I are in the department store."

"I'm telling you something even more outrageous..." Just as Suzuki Sonoko was complaining to Mouri Ran.

Xingchen saw a masked strange man holding a baseball bat appear in front of him and swing the bat at Suzuki Sonoko. "Sister Sonoko, be careful!" Xingchen shouted while pulling Suzuki Sonoko away for a distance with his hands.

"what--!"

Mao Lilan on the other end of the phone heard the scream and shouted anxiously: "Sonoko, what happened? Speak quickly!"

"Chen..." Huihara Ai said a little worriedly, although she knew that Xingchen's strength should be enough to deal with the criminals.

But I still couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"He must have made a mistake. The criminal must have seen Sister Sonoko putting something in the car just now." Conan quickly analyzed: "He thought it was a girl wearing thick-soled shoes and driving by herself."

"What did you say!" Officer Megure's face was full of shock when he heard this.

"Ran, she was just talking about where she was." Kogoro Mouri walked forward and asked.

"She said she's still in the department store." Mao Lilan repeated what Suzuki Sonoko said.

"Then was the call cut off?" Conan asked quickly.

"The call has not been disconnected." Mao Lilan listened to the call and described the voice on the other end of the line: "I only heard the sound of a machine in the distance."

"The sound of a machine?" Conan asked in confusion.

Ran Mouri couldn't explain it clearly, so she just handed the phone to Conan.

All I could hear was the faint sound of the photo booth machine not being turned on from the other end of the line.

Conan immediately remembered what it was and asked, "Is there a photo booth machine in this department store?"

"Yes, I remember there were two in the stairwell next to the dining area on the tenth floor." Mao Lilan said after recalling.
