The Case of Ayumi's Illustrated Diary

"The Case of Ayumi's Illustrated Diary!"

Jewelry Kaneko

Ogino Produce Store

Conan-kun noticed the jewel thief

while walking through a shopping area on the way to school.

Is something wrong?

Is it your illustrated diary?

Yeah.

I'm never sure what to write each day.

What do you guys do?

Just write about whatever you want to eat that day.

Like grilled eel in a bowl, or grilled eel in a box, or quartered grilled eel.

That can't be right.

When I can't decide, I go for a walk.

Don't you end up writing the same thing every day?

I suppose.

Today I went for a walk

As long as I can write something.

Seriously?

What about you, Ai-chan?

It's easy.

A quick search online yields plenty of ideas, like the weather or whatever else.

You simply have to choose whatever you like from among the options.

That doesn't sound right either.

Aw, jeez. What should I do?

Carefully observe all kinds of things,

and you'll discover the truth.

Huh?

You should observe your surroundings in your own way.

I'm sure you'll find something to write about.

Got it. Thanks, Conan-kun.

Hey.

There's a bunch of people over there.

Huh?

What are they doing?

What does Kaneko-san plan to do by stocking something this nice?

He said he hoped it would revitalize the town.

What if someone steals it?

I'm not certain, but it's probably insured.

Fujioka Yuji (28) Courier

Ogino Masako (38) Grocer

Right. Of course.

Nishimura Kidaharu (65) Cafe Manager

Then it'd be no skin off Kaneko-san's nose if it were stolen.

I don't know about that.

But I wonder how much that watch would sell for.

Even if you sold it so it couldn't be traced, it'd probably go for at least 70 million.

70 million?

No way.

I heard you can get several times the market price if you sell it to a collector.

If I got that much money, I'd take my family to Hawaii.

So this is what drew the small crowd.

Speaking of which, did you win that trip to Hawaii you mentioned the other day?

It's a big watch.

I don't know yet.

It's so shiny.

I hope you win.

I'd like to win a trip to Hawaii.

I wonder how many eel bowls this is worth.

Come on, kids.

Isn't it almost time for school? Get moving.

Okay.

According to Conan-kun,

the jewel thief was trying to steal the big shiny watch from Jewelry Kaneko.

Blue Diamond Limited Tourbillon Cage No. 3.

Made by renowned watchmaker Soumillon, there's only five of them in the world.

No wonder the grocer was so excited.

It's quite the luxury watch for a small town jeweler.

Enough to create a commotion among ordinary people.

I hope it doesn't become the target of any ill-intentioned people.

Did you beat that game?

Yeah, I did.

Huh?

It's Detective Takagi.

Hey, you're right.

Make sure you lock your doors.

Will do.

Detective Takagi.

Conan-kun, you kids.

What are you doing here?

Is it about the luxury watch at the store next door?

Not exactly.

Then what it is?

There have been a lot of burglaries in this area lately.

I'm handing out these fliers to alert the locals.

Rash of Burglaries!! Please be careful!

Anyway, that's why we're handing out these fliers.

Kaneko Keita (57) Jewelry Store Proprietor

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Hey, Mister. We heard the watch in your store window is really expensive.

Would you like to take a look?

Can we?

Yeah. After all, you seem to be friends with this police officer.

Soumillon's masterpiece from the height of his career.

Blue Diamond Limited Tourbillon Cage No. 3.

Well? Beautiful, isn't it?

Wow!

It looks different up close.

It's so sparkly.

Kaneko-san, how's your security?

Don't worry.

My security is absolutely secure.

I have security cameras covering every inch of the store.

The footage is stored on the cloud,

so you don't need to worry about intruders erasing it.

Outside of business hours, I keep the sturdy shutters closed.

I also have infrared and pressure sensors installed.

The store window where the watch is displayed is made of tempered glass,

and a code is required to open this door.

All of these systems are monitored by computer.

If anything happens, the security company will come running.

I see. With security this tight, it's not possible for your average burglar to break in.

Indeed.

But nothing's for certain.

Please be careful.

Understood.

Excuse me.

Now then.

Hey, kids—

Detective Takagi.

Don't you think that watch is at risk?

But security is tight,

and it's hard to imagine jewelry theft going well in this day and age.

Hey, kids.

If you're not busy, could you help me hand out these fliers?

Bye!

Hey, w-wait!

Nothing of note happened for several days after that.

But one day...

Cafe Haronbo

Hup.

Good morning, kids.

Good morning!

Don't take any detours. Head straight to school.

Okay!

What's that sound?

Maybe it's construction work.

Looks like they're renovating.

Yeah.

I don't see anything suspicious.

Suspicious? Like what?

Like pretending to do construction work so they can rob the jewelry store?

What? Is that true, Conan-kun?

I don't know that yet.

Let's check it out for ourselves.

Conan-kun?

Excuse me.

What is it, kids?

As you can see, I'm renovating my store.

The president of the engineering firm over there is named Kumazawa.

We've known each other since middle school, so he's given me a special discount.

Um, is it possible that...

That you're pretending to renovate your store

so you can steal the watch from the jeweler next door?

What?

Don't be rude, you two.

Marvelous.

If I punched a hole in that wall and stole some jewels, I'd be rich.

Then I could open a store overseas.

What a masterpiece.

Maybe I'll become a professional thief.

I'm joking.

I may not look like it, but the only thing I can do is make coffee.

I'm too clumsy to be a thief.

Who are they?

They're Kumazawa's sons.

I've known them since they were in diapers.

You suspect them, too?

Well, uh...

Hello.

Cheetah Transport here.

Hello again.
