Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

Conan continued, "The teacher had been making a teacup beside Xiaochen before the incident. Also, judging from the position of the tie pin, the length of the tie was very limited to hang the body."

"When you prop up the body, you can't leave fingerprints on the tie pin, so you have to fix the tie pin above the iron door. Naturally, you can only grab the front end of the tie with force."

"But you made two fatal mistakes. The first was that you did not wear gloves before committing the crime. The second mistake was that you chose this tie as a tool when propping up the body."

Inspector Megure couldn't help but look at Mino Muneyuki and was about to speak.

Mino Muneyuki sighed softly and admitted frankly: "The reason why I don't wear it is because I don't want to regard the tie as a dirty thing."

"Because that tie was picked out by my dead daughter after careful selection, and she wanted... to give it to that man as a birthday present." Mino Muneyuki seemed to be stating a fact.

"So, what Sou put in his bag yesterday together with the tie and birthday card was..." Kasama Kikuyo looked at Mino Muneyuki and asked.

"It was me, because I had long guessed that the guy would mistakenly think that it was a gift from you. The reason I did this was just to fulfill my daughter's wish, and I can put the blame on you." Mino Muneyuki turned his gaze to Kasama Kikuyo, his tone calm but revealing endless sadness.

"Ah." Kasama Kikuyo was stunned when she heard that, with mixed feelings in her heart. It turned out that the teacher had already seen through the relationship between them.

"Actually, I have long suspected the relationship between you. And it was as early as after my daughter was hit and killed by a truck. That day was the third day after Christmas." Mino Muneyuki began to slowly recall the past.

"I finished the funeral and was cleaning my daughter's room when I found the tie, still in its box, crumpled up and thrown into the trash."

"I thought Su Fu had lost the tie by mistake because he was distracted, so I rushed to the airport with the tie. I thought I would see the face of a man who had lost his beloved wife and was waiting for the plane in grief."

Mino Muneyuki closed his eyes, his voice revealing a trace of uncontrollable grief: "I didn't expect that what I saw at the airport was not a man suffering from the pain of losing his wife. Instead, he was a big liar who was holding your hand and smiling smugly."

"It was then that I realized that my daughter was not killed by a car. Instead, she rushed towards the oncoming truck out of despair after discovering her husband's relationship with you."

"But how do you know that the tie is a gift from your daughter to her husband?" Officer Megure asked doubtfully, "Maybe the tie is a holiday gift from her to you, her father."

Mino Muneyuki shook his head, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "Of course I know, because my daughter once said to me - 'Beige, Su Fu seems too fancy to wear this.'

But she said, 'No, beige is my favorite color. Besides, I hope he can be like his dad. Beige is the color of soil, which is also his dad's color. '"

After saying this, he sighed again and fell into a brief silence.

Then, he slowly said, "Of course, this is also my intuition as a father."

Conan walked out from behind the chair and watched Mino Muneyuki being taken away by Inspector Megure, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes - both understanding and expectation.

I still hope that such tragedies will not happen again.

A moment later, Suzuki Sonoko stood up, yawning, and laughed proudly when she realized that she had solved the case.

When Mao Lilan saw that Xingchen was not there, she brought Suzuki Sonoko and Conan to the classroom.

"Xiaochen, he works so hard." She saw Xingchen still shaping the clay cup, with patches of mud and water on Xingchen's fair little face.

It seemed that he was shaping the clay too quickly, causing some mud and water to splash onto his face.

"Huh?!" Suzuki Sonoko came to Mao Lilan's side, looking at Xingchen's expression with some confusion, and whispered to Conan: "What's wrong with him?"

Conan covered his mouth with his hand and whispered to Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran: "Oh, Haibara Ai's birthday is in a few days. When he heard that you, Sonoko, were planning to give tea cups to Kyokushin and Shinichi, he also wanted to give one."

"I see." Suzuki Sonoko clasped her hands together in front of her chest and said with emotion, "It would be great if Zhen could be as self-aware as Xiaochen."

"That's great." Mao Lilan clasped her hands lightly in front of her, seeming a little envious.

When Conan saw Ran Mouri's face full of longing, he was stunned for a moment and said in his heart, Ran.

"By the way, what does that child like?" Suzuki Sonoko raised her head slightly and thought, "Why not send her a set of dolls?"

Conan felt ashamed when he thought of Haibara Ai's personality, and thought to himself, with her personality, would she play with dolls?

"Hmm?" Xingchen noticed something and looked up towards the door.

Conan, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were standing at the door. He blinked his eyes, reasoning that his clay mold was not ready yet.

"Xiaochen, your face is covered with mud." Mao Lilan walked to Xingchen, took out a handkerchief and wiped the mud off his face.

"Hmm? That's strange. I remember that the one you made before should be almost finished, but how come it has become just an embryo now?" Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin in confusion.

"Huh!" Conan exclaimed.

"Well, I accidentally broke the clay just now." Xingchen said with a smile.

"Oh, is that so?" Suzuki Sonoko nodded.

Kasama Kikuyo came out and saw Xingchen was still making clay. She forced a smile and said, "To compensate you, you can work here as long as you want today. Come over tomorrow and burn the clay in the kiln."

"Is this all right?"

"It's okay. Now that the teacher is gone, I feel embarrassed to continue helping run this pottery studio." Kasama Kikuyo shook her head and apologized, "I'm really sorry. It's possible that you will be the last students of this pottery studio."

They looked at each other and nodded in understanding.

On that day, Xingchen didn't finish making the clay until ten o'clock in the evening, and Conan was so hungry that he said he was hungry.

So Suzuki Sonoko treated the two little ones to a midnight snack before leaving.

The next day, school was over in the afternoon.

Mao Lilan and Xingchen both came over and received the fired pottery cups.

Suzuki Sonoko and Conan both came with them to get the cups.

Only Conan put his hands in his pockets, looking at them helplessly with their happy faces.

"By the way, I'm going to buy a gift box. Sister Xiaolan and Sister Sonoko, do you want to come with me?" Xingchen looked at the cup in his hand and hummed a song happily. Suddenly, he thought that since it was a birthday gift, he needed a suitable packaging box.

"Oh, you really mean it." Suzuki Sonoko nodded in agreement.
