Chapter 230: Factory on Fourth Street
"Hey, you guys!" Uncle Maori just walked in and looked at everyone in the Junior Detective Team and said seriously: "Hurry up and follow me to the factory on No. 4 Street. Inspector Megure is waiting for us there!"

"The factory on Street No. 4? Didn't we just pass by that place?" Mitsuhiko said subconsciously.

Not long ago, when he and Conan were chasing the uncle who fled the scene of the accident, they happened to pass by that place.

"Uncle Maori, what's wrong?" Conan looked up at him and asked curiously.

"I heard that a murder occurred in that factory, and it was most likely homicide." Uncle Maori answered truthfully.

"Eh? A murder case?"

Hearing this, the friends were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other.

"Do you remember what I told you before?" Ze Yu tilted his head and said seriously, "An alibi is very important."

…………

On Street No. 4, the factory where the incident occurred has been surrounded by police cars.

Officer Megure looked at the body lying on the ground and revealed his identity: "The victim is the director of this factory, Mr. Ishikura Hisashi..."

"Also, the factory is not working today."

"Based on the appearance of the deceased, this should be a robbery and murder case."

Uncle Maori and Inspector Megure were discussing together.

Because of Uncle Maori's instructions, no one from the Junior Detective League came in to disturb them, but stood obediently at the door. Only Conan slipped in alone, not wanting to be outdone.

He lay on the ground, observing the corpse, and then Uncle Maori pinched his cheek hard. The pain made him run out quickly.

Of course Ze Yu did not forget to take a picture. With a "click", Conan's panicked look was engraved in his photo album.

After a while, the body was moved away, and with Uncle Maori's permission, everyone came into the room.

"Kudo, did you find anything?" Haibara Ai asked in a low voice. Only Sawaha and Conan who were standing next to her could hear her voice.

In private, out of personal habit, Haibara Ai likes to call Conan "Kudo", which is similar to Hattori Heiji.

But if she was in front of everyone, she certainly wouldn't call Conan like that, but would just call him by his name, or his last name, Edogawa.

"I have found some. Anyway, the murderer has been confirmed by Xiaoyu. Based on this, it is not difficult to find clues." Conan touched his chin, frowned and thought deeply: "I am just thinking, how did the murderer commit this case?"

"Then take your time to think about it." Ze Yu rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"...According to estimates, the deceased died an hour ago." Officer Takagi analyzed while looking at the small notebook in his hand.

"An hour ago? We happened to pass by this place at that time." Mitsuhiko interrupted.

"Really? Have you found any suspicious people?" Officer Megure asked quickly.

The Junior Detective Team had helped him catch criminals many times, and Inspector Megure already trusted them very much. If they were not so young, they would probably be called "brothers" by Inspector Megure.

For example, 'Edogawa brother, Kojima brother' and so on...

As for Ayumi and Haibara Ai, they were probably just called "sisters"? "If there were any suspicious people, there should be one." Genta thought, "At that time, we were chasing a hit-and-run guy. The guy hit Xiaoyu with his car and then ran away."

"Conan and I quickly caught up with him and passed by this warehouse. Finally, we found that he had turned himself in at the Metropolitan Police Department."

Inspector Megure nodded: "Is that so..."

Then, he turned around, looked at Ze Yu, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Ze Yu replied with a smile.

It was because Inspector Megure liked Sawaha's appearance that he asked the question out of concern.

Otherwise, if the person who was hit was someone else, such as Genta and the others, Inspector Megure would not say anything.

Hiroki raised his head, looked at the photo frame on the table, pointed at someone in the photo, and said, "That's the guy."

"Ah, that's right, it was him who bumped into Xiaoyu!" Yuantai and Mitsuhiko exclaimed loudly upon seeing this.

"Is it true?" Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure quickly picked up the photo frame and looked at someone in the group photo.

"Hiroki is right. When he went to turn himself in, I saw it clearly. The person in the photo was definitely him!" Conan nodded seriously.

"Then he also committed the murder here? He is the murderer?" Yuan Tai said with sudden realization.

"Probably? Xiaoyu said that he wanted us to help him make an alibi." Mitsuhiko raised his eyebrows and said hesitantly: "Generally speaking, someone who can make an alibi is very likely to be the murderer, right?"

"Alibi?" Officer Megure was stunned for a moment, then asked quickly, "What does this mean?"

"The meaning is very simple. That man killed the boss of this factory. In order to cover up the crime he committed, he deliberately drove his car and hit Xiaoyu. He wanted us to chase him and surrender in front of us to prove that he didn't have time to commit the crime." Huiyuan Ai said calmly: "Of course, I don't have any evidence in my hand. It's just a guess. Officer Megure can take me as a joke."

"I can't take this useful information as a joke." Inspector Megure said seriously.

"Officer Megure, don't just believe what these kids say. I think they are just joking!" Uncle Maori widened his eyes and retorted, "How could that person run into this factory and kill people while the car was moving?"

"In short, let's bring the person here first." Inspector Megure lowered the brim of his hat and said in a deep voice.

…………

Metropolitan Police Department.

The decadent man named Kenichi Shishido was brought to the hall by the police.

He had a messy mess of hair and lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look at Officer Gao Mu's expression. He explained in a low voice: "This is all a coincidence. I was driving the whole time and had no time to kill anyone. I am not the murderer!"

The friends of the Junior Detective Team stood outside the interrogation room, looking at everything inside through the glass.

Officer Megure, who was standing nearby, looked at the information in his hand and said, "This guy used to work in this factory, but was fired by the factory because of misconduct."

"If that's the case, then he must be the murderer!" Yuan Tai said immediately.

"That's right, he must have wanted to take revenge on his boss, so he killed him!" Ayumi also agreed.
