My brother is FBI, and I am a crazy wife protector.

Uncle Maori took Conan and Xiaolan from the detective agency in Tokyo to Izumo, known as the hometown of Japanese mythology.

"Yoshi! It's rare to travel, let's see all the attractions and have a good meal! Ahahahaha...!" Uncle Maori put his hands on his hips and laughed obscenely and wildly.

Of course, it was Xiaolan who suggested going out this time. She hadn't seen Kudo Shinichi for a long time and was in a bad mood. In addition, the Izumo Shrine worships the god of marriage, so they all came to worship very seriously this time, especially Maori Kogoro.

"Please, please give me a good marriage!"

"Really, what kind of fate is he asking for?"

"If there really is a god, please help me protect the person I miss all the time."

After worshiping the god, you can go to the marriage tree in the backyard to make a marriage. The thick trunk and the bottom edge were densely packed with paper strips for tying bonds, a white patch.

Why are there so many!

"Just tie it here." Xiaolan found a free place and tied it easily.

Seeing this, Maori Kogoro also hurriedly found a place and started to tie a knot excitedly.

"Okay, tie it!" As a result, the paper strip broke by itself for no apparent reason.

"Oh, it broke!"

"Wow, this knot is so big!"

"It weighs five tons!" Suddenly, a young woman came out from behind and said.

"Mr. Maori Kogoro, right, the famous detective?"

"

"Yes"

"You seem to be better looking in person than on TV!"

"Um, are you a staff member here? "Uncle Maori became serious in an instant and even adjusted his tie.

"My name is Eikaku Eiko, and my family owns a hotel in front of the shrine."

"I am his daughter Xiaolan, and this is Conan."

"By the way, what are those coins for, young lady?"

"It's a legend. If you insert the coins, your wish will come true."

"It means you have a chance to find a good match!" Maori Kogoro excitedly threw a coin up, but it fell down.

"Damn it! "Kogoro picked up the coin and threw it again, but it still fell. He didn't believe it, so he threw it three or four times in a row. As expected, it fell all the time. At this time, Uncle Maori was a little suspicious that he had no luck with women.

The next day, Miss Eikaku Eiko's marriage partner was killed in the Inome Cave. Maori Kogoro and others happened to pass by and participated in the investigation.

"He was stabbed from behind with a sharp knife."

"No, non-related people are not allowed to enter. If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be..."

"My last name is Maori, and I'm a private detective in Tokyo."

"As expected! I've heard about your wonderful deeds for a long time. I'm Yamane from Izumo Police Station."

"I'm his colleague Komura."

"But how did you get here?"

"

"I'mI just happened to be near here."

"But this case doesn't need the power of a famous detective. The victim is Mr. Kōji Kōji, the owner of Kōji Kōji, a multi-business company based in the Izumo area. He is 35 years old."

"Isn't this the man that Ms. Eiko mentioned yesterday?"

"So you know that he is a well-known entrepreneur in the local area."

"The first discoverer was the couple, both of them are locals."

"This place doesn't look like a place where tourists come back. ”

“”The estimated time of death is around 1pm. Mr. Ebisu’s watch should have been broken when he fell. It stopped at 1:05. It can be determined that this was the time he was killed.”

“The motive for the murder was revenge. If he was a capable entrepreneur, he must have many enemies. I heard that he didn’t have a good personality.”

“He is indeed a person with a bad reputation, but the purpose of this criminal is to steal the knife. It is said that the market value is 10 million.”

“The knife with a market value of 10 million!!”

This is Mr. Ebisu’s notebook. He planned to go to the antique shop in the city at noon today to take the knife there as collateral for a loan.”

“I have confirmed in the store that the other party still handed the knife to Mr. Ebisu at around 12 noon.”

“After taking the knife, Mr. Ebisu should have walked to Inome. Although I don’t know what he came here for, someone saw him standing here with a knife at 1pm. However, when his body was found, the knife had disappeared. ”

“So the criminal with the knife followed Mr. Kuzobuchi all the way here.”

“So this is a simple robbery and murder case with the treasure as the target.”

“So there is no need for a detective. Understand, understand.”

“Is it really such a simple case? Why did he come here specially and bring a knife worth 10 million.” The famous detective began to think.

“Ah——” Conan was punched on the head again.

“What are you thinking about, kid!

"I'm not thinking about anything!"

On the way to the next attraction————

"It may be impolite to say this to the deceased Mr. Kujirabuchi, but now Miss Eiko won't be forced to get married. I think this incident is a bit like the story of defeating the Yamata no Orochi."

"Defeated the Yamata no Orochi?"

"It's the myth, the story of Susanoo no Mikoto. There was a poor princess who was in danger of being taken away by the Yamata no Orochi. At this time, thanks to Susanoo no Mikoto, he defeated the Yamata no Orochi and saved the princess until she got the sword of the snake. This part is very similar, right?"

"Susanoo no Mikoto may be a hero, but this criminal is different. He may have just helped Miss Eiko escape, but he is a robber and murderer!"

"

"Of course I know about that kind of thing. I just said that the incident is very similar to the myth of defeating the snake, right?Conan."

"Yes, yes!"

Woof woof woof——

A burst of dog barking attracted Conan and his friends' attention.

Conan and his friends walked over and found that the dog dug out the knife buried in the sand. Then they notified the police and confirmed that this case was not a robbery and murder case but a revenge case.

"

"I have something to ask you later. Before that, I would like to introduce the person who assisted in the investigation of this case. He is the detective Mr. Maori Kogoro."

"I am Maori, a private detective in Tokyo."

"That famous detective! Uh... No! Because I never thought that such a famous detective would come to Izumo!"

Then first of all, Mr. Ishihi Kazuya, according to our investigation, Mr. Kubuchi proposed a proposal for cooperation with the old Izumo noodle shop Ishihi that you run, right?

"What kind of cooperative management? That guy wants to use money and threats to seize an industry that has been in business for 200 years."

"Is that so? Then Mr. Fujie Takehiko, you are running the wedding venue Liaoyun Pavilion, right?"

My experience is the same as Mr. Ishihi, he wants to eat me. Ebuchi can be regarded as my junior, from Tokyo Teito Keizai University.

"Oh, from the university!"

"His name is Crocodile, but his personality is like a snake. He is a monster that will swallow everything he wants. Yes, just like a big snake."

"I see. Miss Eiko, you also met Mr. Crocodile because of business, right?"

"Yes, my family's hotel, the Sunrise Hotel, is a long-established brand, but the building itself is getting worse and worse, and we don't have the budget to renovate it. Suddenly, a business owner from Tokyo expressed his desire to renovate this place into a modern hotel, so he hoped that we could sell the land to him. Just when my parents were gradually getting discouraged and thinking that maybe they should let go, Mr. Crocodile asked him to help provide the renovation funds. Just when my parents accepted his kindness, he asked me to marry him. He had planned it all from the beginning. If I refused this marriage, we would You must immediately return all the funds he provided."

"Why?"

"Although my parents said that they would rather give up this hotel than let me marry that kind of person, I know very well how important this inn, which has been passed down from generation to generation, is to them."

"Mr. Fukuma, you can't just sit there and watch. Miss Ekaku has repeatedly gone to Mr. Kubibuchi to ask him to release Miss Ekaku, right?"

"I hate that man just as much."

"Next is the time when Mr. Kubibuchi was killed. Please explain clearly where you went and what you did around 1 pm yesterday?"

"I was in Matsue Castle at the time. I went there alone so there were no witnesses, but I once registered my name in the name list of the castle tower."

"

"Because I didn't have to go to work yesterday, I went to the old Taisha station. I stayed there until about three o'clock. I often go there because I feel comfortable, but because II went alone, so there were no witnesses."

"I was at the Izumo Cultural Heritage Museum, and I went alone, too.

"I went to Hinomisaki yesterday, and I was alone, too. The seagull season doesn't seem to have arrived yet, so I didn't see anything."

"Immediately, Komura sent people to confirm separately."

After a while, Officer Komura came back and confirmed that Mr. Fujie's statement was confirmed, and he was indeed in Matsue Castle at 1:05.

"At 1:05, he left a record in the name book exactly when the victim was killed!"

"Are Miss Eiko and Mr. Fukuma not the criminals?"

"Of course not, but why is there no witness? Unless they are lying."

At this time, Officer Yamane suddenly received a call saying that someone witnessed Mr. Fukuma burying something at Dosanohama Beach. After questioning, the police found that Mr. Fukuma and Ms. Ekaku had both made false testimonies in an attempt to cover up for each other. In order to find evidence, Zhisi and Conan went to the Old Taisha Station to verify. The eyewitness confirmed that Miss Jiangjiao had been at the Old Taisha Station at about 1 pm yesterday.

After some investigation, and the admission of the two parties that they thought each other was the criminal, they lied to protect each other.

"That's great. They are cleared of suspicion now."

"So, was it Ishiba Ichiya who killed Mr. Kurobuchi?"

"Mr. Ishiba's timid and nervous attitude is indeed suspicious, but it's not right that Mr. Fujie was so surprised when he introduced himself."

"You just said that the pendant was lost a few days ago. Have you met Mr. Ishiba and Mr. Fujie since then?"

"So Mr. Fujie did come to my house. I just realized that it was there Then I found that the pendant was missing."

Everyone rushed to Matsue Castle one after another---

"This very distinctive handwriting should be written by Mr. Fujie himself. Judging from the previous and subsequent records, the time of 1:05 does not seem to be false."

"In this case, it can only be a wasted trip! I originally thought that there might be some possibility."

"In this case, there is only one person left."

"Let's go back quickly!"

Suddenly, a few children who were drawing caught Conan's attention.

"If it was written in pencil, it might be possible."

"Officer Yamane received a call saying that Mr. Ishito had just been arrested for a hit-and-run accident in the suburbs of Izumo around 1 pm yesterday."

"Is that so! The reason why he was so timid and nervous was not because he killed Mr. Konagabuchi, but because he was afraid that the hit-and-run would be discovered."

"But in this case, this incident..."

"It's neither Mr. Fukuma nor Ms. Ekaku, and Mr. Fujie has a clear alibi. In addition, the possibility of Mr. Ishito committing the crime has disappeared, so all the suspects are now innocent. We have to start all over again!"

Afterwards, Conan used the bow tie to call each other in the name of Maori Kogoro and Mr. Fujie to arrange a place and time to meet.

Everyone arrived at the observation deck——————

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Fujie."

"What can I do for you?"

"You are looking for me——" Before he could finish his words, Conan shot him with an anesthetic needle, and Uncle Maori fell back and sat on the wooden steps.

"Could it be the sleeping Kogoro?"

"I finally saw the sleeping Kogoro."

Conan changed his voice to Kogoro and began to reason——

"Mr. Fujie, you once compared Mr. Kuzobuchi to a snake. Yes, Mr. Kuzobuchi may really be a hateful guy like the Yamata no Orochi, but that doesn't mean you can kill him!"

"I thought you were going to say something? Hahaha! It's this again! Mr. Mori."

"That's right! Mr. Mori, you have also been to Matsue Castle and have confirmed Mr. Fujie's alibi!"

"That's just a trick That's all. You came up with the idea of ​​killing Mr. Eibuchi when you visited Miss Rongzi a few days ago, right? You accidentally found Miss Rongzi's pendant at her home and came up with this plan. You made two phone calls the day before yesterday, right? One call to Mr. Eibuchi told him that you had a way to get Mr. Jiang and Miss Jiang and asked him to meet at Zhumu at 1 pm yesterday. The other call you pretended to be Mr. Eibuchi called Miss Jiangjiao and told her that you wanted to see her and asked her to come to Zhumu at 1:30. "

"Wasn't that call made by Mr. Eibuchi?"

"He should have pretended to be his voice, right?"

"I remember, he said he had a cold, and his voice was different."

"Yesterday At one o'clock in the afternoon, you carried out your murder plan, and then you drove quickly to Songjiang City to leave a record in the record book to complete the alibi for the time of the crime. "

"How could it be possible to register later? Even if he drove faster, he would arrive at Songjiang City at least at two o'clock."

"How could it be impossible? You went to Songjiang City twice yesterday, right? The first time was early in the morning. In order to arrange the next trick, you filled in the date and time of the visit with a fake name, and also replaced the ballpoint pen."

"Replaced the ballpoint pen?"

"Replaced it with a ballpoint pen that can be erased with an eraser! After you killed Mr. Ebuchi, you returned to Songjiang again. You found a position that almost matched the record, and you completed your alibi in Matsue Castle, which was an hour away from the scene when Mr. Kurobuchi was killed.

"You can know it immediately if you try it. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the record book usually fills in the name, address and date, and rarely writes the time, right? In fact, no one had written it until the day before yesterday. But yesterday morning, because the first person wrote it like this, the next person also wrote it like this. Am I right? Mr. Fujie.

"Excuse me, do you have any evidence to prove that I was the first person to write it yesterday morning?"

"Besides the fact that Yamada Ichiro sounds fake, the problem is the address of Naruse City, Tokyo! Why would Naruse City arouse suspicion? Mr. Fujie, you lived in Tokyo when you were a student, right? And after my investigation, I confirmed that the student dormitory you lived in during your four years of college was in Naruse City."

"Even if there is a common point, it is not the answer at all. Maybe it is really a record written by a person named Yamada Ichiro from Naruse City!"

"That is absolutely impossible, because Naruse City has long ceased to exist in Tokyo."

"It disappeared a year ago after being merged with the neighboring Haido City."

"You didn't know until we mentioned it just now?"

"Is that so! Naruse City is no longer there. Mr. Mori, at that time, I felt that everything was probably too late. I thought it was probably only a matter of time before the truth came out, and it turned out to be true."
