"Well then, let's accept the evidence presented by Yazaki-san."

Teacher Kobayashi clapped her hands to show that she acknowledged the existence of this evidence.

The members of the Junior Detective League looked at each other in bewilderment. They were unsure how to refute the new evidence presented by Yazaki Yasuji, who claimed that the 1,000 yen was lost when he left the classroom to go to the toilet.

It seemed that Haibara Ai was the only one in the classroom at that time, which means that there was no human testimony or other evidence to refute Yazaki Yasushi's words, and there was no way to prove that Haibara Ai did not take the 1,000 yen.

Seeing this scene, Haibara Ai in the dock placed her hand on her schoolbag without hesitation, then dropped it on the table in the dock and spoke calmly.

"If the plaintiff wants to say that I took the 1,000 yen, then he must produce evidence that the 1,000 yen was on me or in my school bag. Now, I will submit my school bag as evidence."

"If there is no 1,000 yen in my schoolbag, nor in my drawer, nor in my pockets, then it means that I do not have 1,000 yen on me, and therefore the plaintiff's assumption is invalid."

"Teacher Kobayashi, please come and check if I have 1,000 yen on me, and show the backpack to everyone to completely refute the plaintiff's statement." Show the evidence [Haibara Ai's backpack].

Because it was a parent-teacher meeting, there were no books in the schoolbag. Instead, there were two empty lunch boxes with no banknotes of any denomination inside.

The young detective team at the defense table cheered, thinking that they could reverse the situation again, thus making it possible that Haibara Ai did not steal the 1,000 yen.

However, after Mr. Kobayashi accepted the evidence, Conan, who was standing in the prosecutor's seat, pushed his glasses again, a white light flashed, and he turned and spoke.

"Sometimes theft is not for money, but for mischief. Therefore, the fact that Huibara-san didn't bring 1,000 yen with him doesn't prove that she didn't take Yazaki-san's 1,000 yen."

"Because according to Yazaki's testimony, from the time he arrived at school, to the time he briefly left the classroom at noon, to the time he returned to the classroom and found that one thousand yen was missing from his living expenses, only Huihara could have committed the crime."

"Therefore, if the defense really did not commit theft, please produce evidence that can completely rule out this possibility now—"

Conan's eyes fell on the evidence submitted by Haibara Ai - the schoolbag. He paused, feeling that the Junior Detective League should notice this detail, and then continued.

"Otherwise, you can only prove that it is impossible for Haibara-san to keep the stolen 1,000 yen on her, but you cannot prove that it is impossible for Haibara-san to steal the 1,000 yen from Yazaki-san."

In a normal trial court, this kind of rhetoric is obviously untenable. If the prosecutor dares to say such a trick in front of Xiang Yuanguang, then the eight-level gale at this time will turn the prosecutor's hairstyle into a mess.

However, if put in the special group of elementary school students, Xiang Yuanguang would not think that what Conan said was nonsense, because there really are such idle elementary school students in the world, and he even encountered them when he was a child.

For example, there is that stupid student who has nothing to do and secretly takes the textbooks that other students need to use during their lunch break and puts them under the podium or behind the blackboard, waiting until other students are in a hurry before taking them out.

(Also, this is a kind of guidance. The Junior Detective Team should come up with some of their own ideas at this time and produce evidence to prove that the scenario assumed by the prosecutor is completely untrue.)

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin and looked at the somewhat panicked members of the Junior Detective League and couldn't help but sigh. However, even if Conan hinted to the members of the Junior Detective League openly or secretly, it would be difficult for them to react immediately.

And at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, like the savior of the Young Detective Team.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait. If we follow your assumptions, then it is indeed the case. But if we follow the actual situation, then it is not the case at all!"

Uncle Maori couldn't help it. He quickly came to the witness stand and spoke loudly.

"Because after Yazaki Seiji came to school, he wasn't away for such a short period of time!"

Chapter 504 The witness is Kogoro Mori!

Kogoro Mouri's words immediately made the members of the Junior Detective League react.

Yes, Yazaki Yasuji was not the same as Conan said. He only left the classroom briefly once from the time he entered the class to the lunch break. He clearly went to the cafeteria to eat during the lunch break!

Genta Kojima immediately spoke loudly to express his thoughts.

"Conan, you're wrong! Yazaki-san clearly went to the cafeteria to eat during lunch break! It doesn't look like what you said, he just left for a short time to go to the bathroom!"

"That's right, Huibara-san is obviously innocent!"

Ayumi Yoshida also echoed Genta's words, and after hearing what Kogoro Mori said, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya thought of the scene where Conan seemed to be looking at Haibara Ai's schoolbag intentionally, and he suddenly had an idea.

As a companion of the Junior Detective League, although Mitsuhiko did not know that Conan was acting to increase the drama of this class trial, Mitsuhiko believed that Conan could not really think that Haibara Ai was the thief.

Therefore, Conan’s words just now should be a reminder to the Junior Detective Team!

Although there was no reason, Mitsuhiko firmly believed in the bond between the Junior Detective Team and directly took this seemingly unreliable conclusion as what he thought was the correct answer.

Therefore, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya raised his hand and said without hesitation.

"Teacher, the defense demands to present evidence——————[Graybara Ai's schoolbag]!"

His request immediately made Teacher Kobayashi stunned. After a while, Teacher Kobayashi asked in confusion.

"What use is there, then, in bringing up this evidence now?"

Mitsuhiko slammed the table and said loudly in affirmation.

"This evidence proves that Huiyuan and Xiangyuan's lunches during lunch break were actually pre-prepared lunch boxes, and that they did leave the classroom during lunch break to eat the lunch boxes they brought with them."

"From this, we can conclude that if Yazaki-san didn't leave the classroom during lunch break, then his backpack should have contained an empty lunch box, just like Haibara-san. Otherwise, his statement would be contradictory."

"If the evidence provided by Yazaki-san contradicts his previous testimony, then we can assume that Uncle Maori's testimony is correct, and Yazaki-san did leave the classroom during lunch break to eat in the cafeteria!"

Conan, sitting in the prosecutor's seat, pushed his glasses and asked.

"Let's not talk about what's in Yazaki-san's backpack, but lunch boxes are also disposable, right? If Yazaki-san puts the lunch box in the trash after using it, it's normal that it can't be found."

"That's not the case! There's no lunch box in the trash can!"

At this time, Yuantai interrupted Conan and said righteously.

"Besides, the uncle in the cafeteria said that he saw Yazaki-san in the cafeteria, so he must have gone to the cafeteria to eat!"

The situation seemed a little stiff at this point. Mr. Kobayashi, who was standing on the podium, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yasushi Yazaki, who was standing in the plaintiff's seat, and asked for his opinion.

"So, Yazaki-san, are you willing to produce your school bag as evidence?"

Hearing this question, Yazaki Yasushi seemed a little hesitant, but one of the other students in the classroom who was in the audience said loudly at this time, "I remember that Yazaki's schoolbag contained extracurricular books! Because the teacher's lecture in the morning was too boring, I borrowed an extracurricular book from Yazaki, and that's when I saw it!"

Teacher Kobayashi's face suddenly turned dark. Although she was a bit rigid in order to maintain her serious image as a class teacher, it shouldn't be to the point where the parent-teacher meeting would be boring, right?

The student who was talking was hiding among the other students. Although Kobayashi Sumiko had an urge to find this student, she finally chose to swallow her anger and not bother with the elementary school student for the time being.

However, the student's words completely opened up Yazaki Seiji's heart. This student, who usually seemed a little withdrawn, showed an expression that the Junior Detective Team had never seen before.

Yazaki Yasuji opened his schoolbag with an embarrassed smile and showed the contents to the head teacher. There was indeed no lunch box inside, but several extracurricular books.

There was no lunch box or textbook inside, only a few extracurricular books that looked very interesting. This was probably one of the reasons why Yazaki Yasushi usually kept to himself and often stayed in the corner.

"Hey, this book looks interesting... Yazaki-san, can I take a look after the rehearsal?"

Ayumi Yoshida stared at the cover of one of the books and said embarrassedly.

Yazaki Yasuji's face just blushed slightly, then he lowered his head shyly, but did not refuse.

"Teacher, since there was no lunch box in the plaintiff's schoolbag and no disposable lunch box in the trash can, the defense believes that Yazaki Yasushi did not eat his lunch box in the classroom during lunch break, but went to the cafeteria to eat!"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya spoke loudly at this time, and even Conan remained silent at this time - although all this was within his expectations, it was the situation he led.

Teacher Kobayashi nodded, agreeing with Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's suggestion, and then spoke.

"I heard that Mr. Maori went to the cafeteria to investigate with the students on the defense side. So, can Mr. Maori be invited as a witness in this case to explain the results of the investigation in the cafeteria?"

Uncle Maori felt a little troubled. He just jumped out because he was simply annoyed that the Junior Detective League was going around in circles. He originally wanted to sneak back, but now it seems that it is impossible.

He looked down at the table in front of him with the words "Witness Stand" on it. Thinking of the times he had spoken in the witness stand in the courtroom, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart——————

As expected, detectives are attracted to cases. Even if it is just a class referee as a joke among students, he, a famous detective, will be attracted to the witness stand to make inferences.

Thinking of this, Kogoro Maori couldn't help but run his hand through his hair. Then, he raised his head confidently, facing the admiring (or what he thought was admiring) eyes of everyone, and spoke loudly.

"Well, since things have developed to this point, then as Tokyo's super detective, I have no choice but to help the Junior Detective Team solve this big problem!"

Uncle Maori said loudly.

"The witness is Kogoro Mori! Come in!"

Chapter 505: An Extra Yen

How come this guy has a natural comedic effect...

【Remember this site’s domain name】

Xiang Yuanguang, who was standing behind the members of the Junior Detective League, curled the corners of his mouth. If he didn't know that Mouri Kogoro had no idea that this was a rehearsal, he would have thought that this was the entrance lines that Mouri Kogoro had prepared in advance.

But it doesn't seem too bad at the moment. At least Kogoro Mouri's appearance and speech will definitely make other parents convinced that this sudden incident was a rehearsal for the school referees.

Conan at the prosecutor's table pushed his glasses subconsciously, trying to maintain his indifferent face. He was a professional detective trained in Hawaii, and he would not laugh no matter how funny the things were.

Unless you really can't help it.

"Pfft——cough, cough, cough, cough."

Genta looked at Conan with some confusion. Conan seemed to have laughed out loud just now, but immediately held back his laughter, causing him to cough due to shortness of breath. He didn't know what was so funny.

In his impression, Kamen Rider appeared in this way. As a great detective and hero in reality, isn't it natural for Uncle Maori to have similar appearance lines?

"Anyway, to make a long story short, I will briefly and clearly explain the results of my investigation with the Junior Detective Team in the cafeteria. Yazaki Seiji did go to the cafeteria to eat during the lunch break."

Kogoro Maori said affirmatively, with an unquestionable momentum.

"I talked to a staff member at the food delivery window. Yazaki Yashiro was the only child who went to the cafeteria to order food that day, so the staff member had a deep impression of Yazaki Yashiro."

"Then, when Yazaki Yasuji paid the bill in the cafeteria, he used a 1,000 yen bill directly. The bill was taken out of an envelope he brought with him, and he also gave 700 yen in change."

"This is what I found out in the cafeteria."

Hearing this, Conan pushed up his glasses. He went over the situation in his mind, thinking about how to guide the Junior Detective League to speak further, and then he spoke.
