Was it a coincidence?
There were many people who looked alike in this world.
There were two of them here. Conan Edogawa looked at Strange Thief Kidd and Shinichi Kudo. It wasn't strange.
However, the primary school detective still asked the police officer to check the information in the police station.
The place where the wife used to live was far away.
It would be very troublesome to find her information.
Thus, they started with the beautiful woman from back then.
The couple lived happily ever after.
There was no problem.
That was until about twenty years ago …
At that time, they had already passed away.
Of their descendants, only a newborn baby girl was left.
The baby girl was supposed to be raised by another friend of theirs.
However, when the friend went to pick her up, the baby was nowhere to be found.
At that time, the person who was guarding the baby was a servant who had worked for them for many years.
She said that she handed the baby to her friend.
However, there was nothing to prove it.
Instead, it was confirmed that the other friend was somewhere else at that time.
Not long after that, the servant died.
Just like that, the baby's whereabouts became a mystery.
Perhaps she had killed them, or perhaps she had sold them to some other place.
There was no way to prove it.
The police tried to find that person, but after a few months, they gave up.
Gradually, no one remembered this incident.
That friend was the victim's father.
When he realized this, Conan Edogawa was a little surprised.
The incident back then was still a little unclear.
The servant was the most trusted person in the family.
Also, she died so quickly.
If that person was the baby back then.
If she suspected that the person who took her away was that person, would she choose to take revenge on them?
This was indeed a strong enough motive for murder.
To find the baby girl back then.
They had information about her parents' DNA.
The police officer said.
The lady admitted her identity.
That's right.
She did know that she came from this town.
Therefore, when she heard that her husband came from here, she felt a sense of closeness to him.
Her adoptive parents told her that she was abandoned by her own family.
Her adoptive parents weren't clear about the details.
They adopted her in an orphanage.
That was what the people in the orphanage said.
However, now that she lowered her head and heard what they said, she realized that she wasn't abandoned.
At that time, her parents were already dead.
The orphanage had been torn down long ago.
The director who took her in at that time was also dead.
At that time, he wasn't young anymore.
There was no way for them to investigate this matter thoroughly.
Just like that, the madam continued to grieve.
And in the process, they also explained her motive reasonably.
It wasn't her.
The lady looked a little shocked.
How could she kill someone?
At this time, the victim's colleague also remembered something.
The lady had been very Geeky recently.
More than once, they saw her quietly following behind him.
As if she wanted to investigate something.
"He's having an affair," a colleague suddenly said.
He saw him with his own eyes with a female colleague from another department.
He was disheveled in his own office.
Sometimes, his things would appear in her office.
After all, he was a stingy person.
This time, the lady was even more suspicious.
It wasn't just because of her own background.
It was also because of their relationship.
The lady was so anxious that she was about to cry.
She really didn't do it.
But how could she prove it?
She didn't know.
She could only look at the people around her helplessly.
When checking the victim's things, the police found a certificate from a certain orphanage in their home.
There was a certificate that they entrusted a child to them.
There were also some large amounts of property that they had obtained from their friends.
And these things were casually placed in the cabinet.
This place was too obvious.
The police officer looked at the lady in this way.
She couldn't have not discovered it.
As a result, the lady's face began to look terrible.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time.
She seemed to have no way to explain herself.
She was indeed lying.
At first, she really didn't know these inside stories.
However, after being married to her for so long, it was impossible for her not to know anything about all this.
And her husband really didn't know anything.
He was still very young at that time.
These adult matters had nothing to do with him.
His parents were the ones who embezzled her family's property and threw her into the orphanage.
She really wanted to take revenge on them.
The lady thought for a moment, and she finally told the truth this time.
But she couldn't do it!
She did contact her husband at first because of the feeling of closeness.
But later …
People had feelings.
Especially when they had been together for so long.
She had long fallen in love with her husband.
So, when she learned that he didn't know about those things, she decided to let go of those things.
Anyway, the person who did it was already dead.
Anyway, she was back.
The madam's words were very sincere.
But this wasn't completely believable.
Especially when she had just lied.
At this moment, a certain primary school detective noticed something.
The victim's subordinate.
The person who didn't have an alibi. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
That person was related to the incident many years ago.
The participant had just died two or three years ago.
It was very likely that he had learned some details about those things from him.
But there was still no evidence.
This was his only problem so far.
The schoolboy detective thought.
The murder weapon was a rope.
And they still hadn't found this rope.
The schoolboy detective's right hand touched his chin at some point.
After such a long time, the rope could have been thrown anywhere.
However, at some point, his glasses suddenly lit up.
The subordinate's hand had been in his pocket the whole time.
There was a small corner of a handkerchief outside. The schoolboy detective suddenly accidentally fell when he walked past him. Then, when the man bent down to check on him, he borrowed the handkerchief from him with tears in his eyes.
The handkerchief … The subordinate wanted to give it to him.
But when his hand was halfway there, he suddenly stopped.
The expression on his face suddenly froze.
The schoolboy detective innocently asked him why he didn't give it to him.
Wasn't it right there?
He remembered that the handkerchief was dirty.
He had also fallen down just now and used it to wipe his face very carefully.
If he gave it to him again, the handkerchief would make his clothes even dirtier.
He reacted quickly and came up with this reason.
At this moment, the schoolboy detective had a confident smile on his face.
"I'm afraid that's not the reason, right?" His voice revealed a sense of calmness and maturity at this time.
This made the subordinate a little flustered.
Then he heard the child say that there were no traces of dirt on his clothes.
No matter how he wiped it, there would be traces.
"This … I remembered wrongly.
I didn't fall down myself.
I met a child who fell down before.
I just helped him wipe off some of the dirt that got on his clothes.
It wasn't me. "He said so.
It was somewhat illogical, but it kept on the same topic.
He hoped that this explanation could fool the child.
However, the child obviously wasn't simple.
He said that at least the place he saw was clean. He even said that he would lend it to him for a while.
So … these words were as innocent and cute as they were at the beginning.
But he wouldn't be so stupid anymore.
This child probably knew everything.
The subordinate was thinking, what should he do next?
Should he admit it?
Or should he?
In the end, he just said to the child with a serious expression, "Who are you?"
The schoolboy detective showed a confident face, "Conan Edogawa, a detective."
That adult, those schoolboys, they all called themselves detectives.
Now this kid also called himself that.
This subordinate didn't know how to react at all.
Why did he meet so many detectives at once?
He could only whisper, "Why did he have to take the handkerchief?
The bloodstained rope was in the handkerchief, right? "
The schoolboy detective said this in a very slow tone.
And when he finished speaking, the subordinate finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Isn't that sister more suspicious?" he asked.
The police were still doing some basic questioning of the madam.
When the subordinate glanced at the crowd, he realized that it wasn't only this kid, but also the self-proclaimed high school detective and another person who looked very similar to him were looking at him.
