Gu family mansion.

“Dad, it was this big brother who saved me!”

Gu Jingzi threw herself into her father’s arms and pointed at Makoto Higashino and said.

“It’s all the credit of Uncle Māori!”

“Thanks to him, the kidnappers were able to subdue at once!”

Makoto Higashino smiled.

“Ahem…”

“It’s nothing, it’s just what I, as a detective, should do.”

Maori Kogoro coughed twice and said seriously.

“Thank you, thank you!”

“It’s really thanks to you two that Jingzi came back safely!”

President Gu wiped his tears, and his excitement was difficult to calm down for a long time.

“Great!”

“It’s great that the young lady can come back safely!”

The housekeeper Aso was also moved to tears.

“By the way, Dad, please don’t blame Aso, these are my ideas, blame me!”

Gu Jingzi said quickly.

“Although Crystal is safe, punishment cannot be avoided.”

President Gu stared at him and said in a serious tone, “Just punish you for preparing for a week’s trip, I will take Jingzi to Australia to play!” ”

“What, what?”

“Sir, I, I…”

Housekeeper Aso was moved to tears.

This is not a punishment at all!

“That’s nice!”

Xiaolan sighed.

“yes, that’s nice!”

Conan held his head, looking listless.

Maori Kogoro and Makoto Higashino, cracked the case, captured the prisoner, and rescued Takashiko Tani.

President Gu safely retrieved his daughter.

The housekeeper did not receive a penalty.

All were met with a happy outcome.

Only he, tossed for a night, but found nothing!

“I’m afraid this punishment is not enough, right?”

An indifferent voice broke the beautiful and complete atmosphere of the scene.

Everyone’s eyes gathered.

It’s Makoto Higashino!

“It’s really not enough, then deduct three months’ salary from you!”

President Gu thought about it and added a little more punishment.

After all, his only precious daughter almost died.

In contrast, three months’ salary is really a punishment that is insignificant.

“Yes! Be! ”

“I really deserve a penalty!”

Aso nodded vigorously.

“I didn’t mean that, I mean, he deserves jail!”

Makoto Higashino shook his head and said lightly.

Do time?

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

It was as if the dream was shattered, and the atmosphere around it was solemn.

“Besides, no matter how you say it, you won’t go to jail, right?”

President Gu smiled awkwardly.

After all, this old housekeeper has served their family for a long time, and there is no merit, and there is also hard work.

“yes!”

“Higashino, what the hell are you talking about?”

Maori Kogoro also asked strangely, unable to understand his thoughts.

“Taking hostages and extorting ransom is as high as 1 billion yen.”

“To commit such a serious crime, even if you go to prison for ten years, is it excessive?”

Makoto Higashino said with a sneer.

“Kidnapping, kidnapping?”

President Gu was stunned.

His eyes widened, and he looked at Makoto Higashino in shock, and then at the housekeeper Aso.

“What are you talking about?”

“Aso is just cooperating with Miss Gu acting, isn’t the real kidnapper already caught by us?”

“And the man also said that he did not accompany him, he committed the crime alone!”

Mori Kogoro explained.

“Yes!”

Conan also nodded.

“Uncle, do you remember where we went before we went to the school warehouse?”

Makoto Higashino asked with a smile.

“Before you go to the school warehouse?”

“Oh, by the way, I went to the hotel, the Hilton you guys said.”

Maori Kogoro touched his mustache and suddenly remembered.

Swish!

In an instant, the butler Aso’s face turned as pale as paper.

“That’s right, I went to the hotel and asked the hotel front desk.”

“They said that there were no young girls staying today, and they had not seen an old gentleman like Mr. Aso.”

Makoto Higashino looked at the old butler.

“This, this could be…”

“They misremembered!”

Aso defended with a smile.

“A large five-star hotel, guests come and go every day, and it’s normal to remember it wrong.”

Conan helped speak, but his eyes kept fixed on Makoto Higashino.

“That’s right, that’s right, so many guests, there must be something wrong.”

Aso nodded quickly.

“Big brother, I haven’t arrived at the hotel yet, I was kidnapped by bad guys.”

Tsuki Gu explained.

“In that case, that’s right.”

“Akiko didn’t have time to come to the hotel, and it’s normal that the hotel front desk hasn’t seen them.”

President Gu nodded.

“That’s right, that’s it!”

Aso quickly chimed in.

“But!”

“That Hilton doesn’t have room 2708!”

Swish!

As soon as Makoto Higashino’s words came out, everyone was stunned.

The atmosphere of the scene seems to be solidified, silent and cold!

Aso had not been to the Hilton Hotel or booked the so-called Room 2708.

That means…

He’s lying!

Conan’s eyes widened, as if he had grasped a key point, and his little head began to move rapidly.

“But maybe I misremembered.”

“By the way, it’s room 2701!”

“Hahaha… People are like this when they are old, and their memory is not very good. ”

Aso smiled awkwardly, trying to fool the past.

“No need to make it up, you haven’t booked a room at all!”

Makoto Higashino said lightly.

“Nonsense! Sling the bull! ”

“The privacy of five-star hotel guests is very confidential.”

“It is impossible for anyone else to know except for the police investigation, how do you know that I have not booked a room?”

Aso blushed and defended loudly.

“Hmph!”

Makoto Higashino grinned, “Because… I bought that hotel! ”
