Conan: Naruto

"Do not."

Kurata Seiji looked at Mouri Kogoro and calmly denied:

"I have absolutely no intention of killing Qingmei."

Mouri Kogoro was about to ask.

"Well, I probably understand."

Officer Megure looked at Shizuka Kawai and Seiji Kurata, and calmly arranged:

"In order to eliminate your suspicion of crime, I need you to hand over items such as backpacks to my subordinates for inspection.

As for Miss Yukiko... we also need to exclude her from suspicion of crime. "

Officer Megure looked back at Detective Takagi and ordered calmly:

"Takagi, please invite Miss Yukiko to come over."

"Yes!"

Detective Takagi looked at Officer Megure, responded dutifully, and ran towards Yukiko Mori with short steps.

--------

4 minutes later.

The car above the crime scene.

Shizuka Kawai, Seiji Kurata and Yukiko Mori sat side by side on the bench by the window.

Xiaolan and the three of them sat side by side on the bench by the window opposite them, watching them silently.

"That is to say."

Officer Megure stood half a meter in front of Shizuka Kawai, Seiji Kurata and Yukiko Mori, looked at Shizuka, Kurata and Yukiko one by one, and confirmed steadily:

"You and Miss Qingmei were working in the company this afternoon, but Qingmei left the company early, right?"

"Ah."

Kawai Shizuka, who was holding her hands and head to the left, turned her head to the right and admitted calmly:

"Completely correct."

"You also have to work on Sunday?"

Mouri Kogoro stood on the right side of Officer Megure, with his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at Shizuka Kawai, Seiji Kurata and Yukiko Mori with confusion.

“We work in advertising art design.”

With her arms wrapped around a light brown paper bag and her left hand holding a blue drink through a handkerchief, Yukiko sat on the left side of Shizuka Kawai with her head slightly bowed. She raised her head and looked at Kogoro Mori meekly.

Yukiko explained softly:

"Because I accidentally made a mistake at work yesterday, which affected everyone at work."

"When was the last time you saw Miss Qingmei?"

Officer Megure put his hands behind his back, folded his forearms, and stared at Shizuka Kawai, Seiji Kurata and Yukiko Mori rigorously.

Kurata, who had his hands hanging down between his spread thighs and looked down at the floor, sat on the right side of Shizuka, looked up at Megure, and answered calmly:

"We sent Qingmei to the station at Erfan Street."

"What was wrong with Miss Qingmei at that time?"

Officer Megure looked at Seiji Kurata cautiously.

"At around [-] p.m., we parted ways with her at the ticket gate."

Shizuka Kawai looked at Officer Megure and answered casually:

"I didn't think there was anything strange about her at the time."

"Have you three stayed together since you separated from Miss Qingmei?"

Mouri Kogoro looked at Shizuka Kawai, Seiji Kurata and Yukiko Mori calmly.

Shizuka, Kurata and Yukiko nodded in unison and responded calmly:

"Yes."

"With whom did Ms. Qingmei have arguments?"

Officer Megure asked the question in accordance with the custom of criminal police.

Shizuka Kawai, Seiji Kurata and Yukiko Mori have not yet answered.

"Mr. Kurata."

Mouri Kogoro stood half a meter in front of Kurata Seiji, leaned forward, stared at Kurata sternly, and said with a solemn expression of psychological pressure:

"According to what you just said, you who have been rejected by Miss Qingmei are most likely..."

"Don't... stop kidding!"

Kurata Seiji clenched his fists with his hands on his legs together, looked at Mouri Kogoro excitedly, and revealed anxiously:

"Not just me, Yukiko also has a motive for killing!"

As Kurata Seiji spoke, he turned his head to the left, facing Mori Yukiko's slightly weak gaze, and sternly speculated:

"Because Qingmei stole your boyfriend, you hate Qingmei very much, right?"

"Ah, I've never had that happen before..."

Yukiko Mori was startled, looked at Kurata Seiji slightly panicked, and waved her hands hastily.

"Moreover, Shizuka also has the motive to kill."

Seiji Kurata stared at Shizuka Kawai, who had nothing to do with him, and carefully confirmed:

"Qingmei stole your work, am I right?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Shizuka Kawai frowned and glanced at Seiji Kurata unhappily.

"It seems."

Mouri Kogoro looked at Shizuka Kawai, Seiji Kurata and Yukiko Mori one by one, and made a reasonable judgment:

"You all have the motive to kill Miss Qingmei."

"Brother Maori, I don't think they have the time to kill Miss Qingmei."

Officer Megure looked sideways at Kogoro Mori, spread his right hand in front of his right shoulder, and rigorously deduced:

"Qingmei's estimated time of death was around [-] p.m. She was obviously poisoned after being separated from them."

"Did they really stay together and never be apart for a moment?"

Mouri Kogoro withdrew his gaze from Officer Megure and looked at Shizuka Kawai, Seiji Kurata and Yukiko Mori with suspicion.

"Of course."

Shizuka Kawai put her left hand on her right knee, held her left arm with her right hand, looked at Mouri Kogoro calmly, and stated calmly:

"We went to a restaurant for dinner afterwards and never separated at all."

"Ah."

Mori Yukiko's posture did not change.

She nodded calmly and agreed:

"We often eat at the same restaurant and you can prove our innocence simply by asking the restaurant staff."

"If they have an alibi..."

Officer Megure put his hands behind his back and folded his forearms. He looked at Mouri Kogoro, who was holding his chin in his right hand, and rigorously sought approval:

"We should rule them out as criminal suspects."

Mouri Kogoro was unmoved.

He lowered his head slightly and looked forward without focusing on anything, as if he was stalling for time.
