Chapter 247: Judy's Memories and the Flower Viewing Trap (Part 5)

"Hey? Why are you here?" Conan looked at the night watchman with a puzzled look.

The night watchman ran to Conan and whispered, "I heard you were having a reasoning game, so I came over to watch the fun."

Conan was speechless, but for now he still had to focus on solving the case, so he reminded Judy: "Like I just said, Teacher Judy, your wallet should be..."

Judy came to her senses and immediately took out her wallet. Sure enough, the place where she kept her wallet was empty.

"I think you helped her up when she fell, and that's when your wallet was stolen."

Sure enough, Judy then took out three blackened five-dollar copper coins from where her wallet had been.

The night watchman began to gloat: "Hahaha, I never thought that a famous FBI agent would fall for such a small fry. I've asked several money-grubbers at home for advice on how to prevent this kind of situation, so I definitely won't..."

Before he finished speaking, the night watchman's face turned ugly, because when he touched his wallet just now, he didn't feel the touch of cloth and leather, but a cold, coin-like touch.

Conan looked at the night watchman who was frozen in place, revealing half-moon eyes: "You are bragging too much."

The night watchman then took out the three copper coins and ran to the antique dealer with a depressed look on his face to sulk.

[Night Watchman: Brother Norton, woooo, your method doesn't work. My wallet woooo~]

[Investigator: Don't cry. The wallet should still be in the possession of the pickpocket. The police will return the stolen property in due time.]

[Lawyer: If you ask me, you should go to a professional for this kind of thief prevention, like Pearson. He has a lot of experience.]

[Philanthropist: You only know how to harm me. Sooner or later, I will steal all your fragments and clues!]

[Doctor: Honestly, is the fragment still useful to Mr. Riley? He has almost no use for it right now.]

[Gardener: That's right, Mr. Riley doesn't seem to have any of the rare costumes that are permanently available in the mall. That "Lancelot" piece is sold in the Looking Glass Mall.]

[Philanthropist: Hahahaha, Barrister, you don’t have as many fashions as I do.]

[Lawyer: We both have the same amount of high-end fashion, so stop talking nonsense!]

[Philanthropist: There are a few crossover costumes mixed in with your costumes, look how juicy they are, tsk tsk tsk~]

[Lawyer: Humph, a collaboration costume is still a costume, and my costume is easier to get than yours!]

[Philanthropist: He’s anxious, the lawyer is anxious~]

[Lawyer: Dr. Emily, I need blood pressure medication... (already reddened)]

[Explorer: I really don't understand you. I feel like the fragments I have now are not enough to spend. I need to save them slowly.]

[Novelist: Look at your wardrobe and tell me again, how many scraps did you spend on those high-end fashions? Of course you have to start all over again!]

[Entomologist: I had the pleasure of visiting Mr. Campbell's home. It was mostly filled with practical furniture, with no entertainment areas at all.]

[Surveyor: If you want to play chess or something, why don't you just go to Misty Mountain Manor? That's where we do team building. Do I really have to clutter my room with a bunch of space-taking stuff?]

[Hitter: This has to be mentioned for some night-time wanderers. After leaving the joint in the middle of the night, there's a chance you'll encounter a pig elbow gnawer and a giant-mouthed edamame in the hallway in front of the kitchen.]

[Toy Merchant: Ganji, you are implying something.]

[Air Force: Who could it be? That's so hard to guess. (Laughs)]

[Mercenary: Hungry.]

[Forward: As we all know, my performance at United determines whether I will give myself a snack.]

[Prisoner: Let me explain William's logic for adding more balls. Today I hit the wall, oops! Today I got into mixed doubles, oops! Today's first flight, oops! No one gave me a free ball, oops! The other team got excited, oops!]

[Ms. Farrow: My dear, you don't need to come up with so many excuses for wanting a late-night snack, do you?]

[Prisoner: I'm not done yet. Mr. Bane placed three traps at the entrance to the cellar. Eat! Orpheus's double pass controlled the court. Eat! Norton's long-range accurate headshot. Eat! Jock's full rockets but the flywheel failed to block it. Eat! And...]

[Forward: Ahhhhh! Stop it!]

Inspector Megure squatted down to examine the body: "But, since the pickpocket is dead, how can we find the person she pickedpocketed?"

"Don't worry, I think it will be soon." As soon as Conan finished speaking, his detective badge sent a message.

Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi found the wallets that were thrown away by the pickpocket at the place where the fortune-telling poems were tied, the drinking fountain, and the trash can next to the shrine. Hui Yuanyuan found one in the trash can next to the toilet at the scene.

After a while, several people brought the wallets they found to Inspector Megure.

"Are these the only wallets found in the trash?"

"Yes, because the recycling staff said they started recycling from the trash can I investigated," Huihara explained.

Judy pointed to one of them and said, "That blue wallet is mine."

The night watchman also pointed to his wallet: "The red one with the rabbit and bird stickers on it is mine."

Inspector Megure looked at the two of them seriously: "So, you might be the suspect too?"

The three little ones immediately defended Judy: "Teacher Judy is not like that, because she has been with us the whole time since she was hit by that aunt."

The antique dealer also explained for the night watchman: "We spent a long time at the snack stand nearby. The stall owner there should be able to testify for us."

"Is that so?" Inspector Megure then turned his attention to the remaining three wallets. "So, the murderer must be among the owners of these three wallets."

"Well, may I ask, since I am not a suspect, could you please return my wallet to me first? It is very important to me." The night watchman looked at his wallet lying there anxiously.

The night watchman's eagerness to retrieve the wallet aroused Conan's vigilance, which made Conan curious about what was in the wallet.

Inspector Megure was also a little confused: "Why are you so anxious to get your wallet back?"

"Um, this..."

Hongdie had no choice but to step forward and explain: "This kid must have stuffed some of his small collection items into his wallet. He really likes those things. If it's convenient, officers, you can check them and then return them to him."

This request was reasonable, and after all, the night watchman had witnesses, so it was unlikely that he was the murderer. So Inspector Megure opened the night watchman's wallet and checked it. Inside were some delicate bird feathers, scales from some unknown creature, and even some shells.

This made Inspector Megure dumbfounded: "Who would put something like this in their wallet?"

The night watchman looked away guiltily, but Conan leaned over to him and stared at him with his half-moon eyes: "This must be some kind of alchemical material."

"Officer, have you finished your inspection?" Hongdie's gentle voice sounded again.

Although the contents of the wallet were too outrageous, there was really no big problem. After checking that everything was correct, Inspector Megure returned the wallet to the night watchman.
