Chapter 119: A Woman Standing by the Window, Part One


Sometime later...

"We're really going?" Conan complained.

"Don't you want to see her, too?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"She's pretty and nice." Genta agreed.

"That's Midorikawa Saki-san." Ayumi led the Detective Boys to Midorikawa's apartment unit.

"I heard she was good-natured and cheerful, but..." Haibara mused.

"She seems kind of lonely." Conan noted. "What's she looking at?" he turned his head to the direction Midorikawa was facing.

"Come to think of it, she was looking yesterday, too." Ayumi recalled.

Midorikawa looked, spotted Ayumi and smiled.


On the streets later...

"You go to the gym?" Ayumi gushed.

"My body is important for work." Midorikawa explained.

"What are you looking at from your window?" Conan inquired.

"Who knows?" Midorikawa shrugged. "This is my stop." she entered the gym. "See you later."

Mere minutes later, an out-of-control van crashed into the gym building.

"Is something wrong?" Mitsuhiko noticed Conan's thoughtful look.

"They were glaring at the nice lady." Ayumi remarked, also noticing Dojima Tatsuko, Tachibana Junnosuke and Konno Michiyo sending death glares at Midorikawa.

"You're here, too?" Midorikawa approached the Detective Boys.

"Saki-san, have you done anything to make people resent you?" Conan inquired.

"When you live twenty and some years..." Midorikawa pondered. "I'm kidding." she jested. "I haven't done anything like that. I need to get to work." she looked at her watch.

"Did something happen between you and the lady?" Conan asked Dojima, Tachibana and Konno who were stalking Midorikawa behind a lamp post.

"I have no idea what you mean." Dojima looked away.

"All three of them were startled." Genta noted, after Dojima, Tachibana and Konno walked off.

"They tried to play it off by smiling." Mitsuhiko agreed. "It's possible the nice lady incurred their wrath without realizing it."

"Let's check it out." Conan suggested. "Seems like all three of them live here." he noted, the Detective Boys stopping in front of the apartment building. "Excuse me." he greeted Ogi Kyoichi, the building manager. "What do those three people do?"

"Tachibana Junnosuke-sensei of Room 102 is an English literature professor at Beika Women's university." Ogi revealed. "He's so popular with his students because he's handsome. Konno Michiyo-san of Room 302 works at a trading firm. She's nothing if not earnest and polite. Dojima Tatsuko-sensei of Room 1107 is a social critic. No one strange lives here." he assured.


Across the road...

"Then naturally, from here..." Conan pondered, having realized Midorikawa's unit was directly opposite the apartment building of the three suspects. "You can't see Room 1107, but you can see Rooms 102 and 302."

"If we can see them from here, then they must be visible from her apartment, too." Ayumi realized what Conan was implying.

"Maybe she was looking out of her window and saw them do something." Haibara suggested.

"Something she didn't want them to see." Conan concluded.

"Saki-san herself probably hasn't realized what she saw." Mitsuhiko added.

"It's possible she does know and she's just playing dumb." Conan guessed.


As evening dawned...

Midorikawa was waiting at the pedestrian crossing, typing on her handphone when someone pushed her into the incoming traffic.

Hearing Midorikawa's scream, the Detective Boys hurried over.

"What happened?" Mitsuhiko asked

"A car..." Midorikawa started. "I was thinking and accidentally tried to cross when it was red."

"And a car nearly hit you." Mitsuhiko noted.

"We thought you were attacked over a misunderstanding." Genta supplied.

"Saki-san, there is something we want to ask you." Conan spoke.

"Sorry, but my heart is still pounding." Midorikawa stated. "Ask me another time." with that, she took off.


Back at the suspects' apartment building...

"From this afternoon..." Konno noticed the Detective Boys in the lobby.

"The woman from this afternoon saw you doing something you shouldn't have, didn't she?" Mitsuhiko accused.

"Like what?" Konno twitched. "Why would she have seen something like that?"

"You were glaring at her." Conan supplied.

"That's because she seemed like a pretty, cheerful person." Konno admitted. "I was jealous."

"I definitely glared at her." Dojima snorted. "Because she looked like the cousin I've hated since I was a child."

"She looked like her." Tachibana wailed. "The girl who rejected me amidst a flurry of falling leaves behind the school building one autumn day during my second year in middle school."


The next day...

Ogi was sweeping the walkway in front of the building when Midorikawa suddenly dropped down from the building roof.

"Onee-san!" Ayumi cried out, the Detective Boys were also at the scene.
