Conan: Nakamura-kun is forced to be almighty

Chapter 19 Party with Hagiwara (Part )

Seeing the familiar little one, Nakamura felt that he was lucky.

No. 3 told him not to pick up the protagonist's wool. The protagonist automatically coming to the door is not a butterfly effect, but a normal plot development, right?

Hagiwara was the first to separate from the crowd and walk in. After showing his ID, he took the initiative.

The IDs of various departments of the Metropolitan Police Department actually have different details, but ordinary people will basically cooperate as long as they see the police badge. After all, they are unlikely to be able to tell the difference between the IDs of the Explosives Division and the Investigation Division.

Nakamura met Hagiwara to control the situation. After showing his ID, he closed the door and controlled the flow of people in and out.

Only after leaving all the guests present can we have time to observe the crime scene.

The scene of the crime this time was the unisex restroom of the hotel.

The deceased was sitting on the ground, with no obvious blood around, with her back against the wall, her head tilted up, her face cyanotic, her lips bright red, her eyes slightly bulging, her hands clutching her neck. As soon as she opened the bathroom door, her complete face could be seen. You will definitely be frightened by the sight.

Judging from the face, this is a very young girl, most likely a high school student or college student. There are signs of dressing up. However, upon closer inspection, it is found that the makeup is not perfect. The clothes are a half-length windbreaker, and the lining is an ordinary solid-color sweater. and slacks.

These appearance information are self-evident to Nakamura, who is now proficient in reasoning.

Hagiwara is also a very observant person. He has a deep understanding of girls' preferences and clothing. He can see the information at a glance without asking.

The surrounding crowd was very dense, staring in the direction of the bathroom, remaining silent for the time being, waiting for the two young police officers to investigate.

The owner of the ramen shop is also a young girl. She is nervously grabbing the hem of her apron, "Mr. Police Officer, this is..."

"Are you the owner of a ramen shop?"

"No, I just came here part-time last month and am a student from a nearby university."

The girl hurriedly took out her student ID card.

Hagiwara took it and confirmed: "Nanako Yamanaka, a sophomore at Rice Flower University?"

"Yes."

"What's the student ID number?"

"2217xxxx"

Hagiwara checked the photo above again and found that it was indeed him.

"Where is your boss?"

"The boss and his family went out today, leaving me alone to look after the store."

"Do you know this guest? Do you remember her companion?"

Nanako had already seen it, so she was sure of it, "I don't know him. It was probably the first time I saw him when I came to work here. As for my companion, I'm sorry, I was too busy making ramen before and didn't notice."

An older male customer immediately interjected: "I'm sitting near the counter. I can see Nanako has been busy inside and never left."

Several people immediately echoed, saying that they also saw Nanako busy inside and did not leave at all.

While Hagiwara was asking, Nakamura entered the bathroom and prepared to carefully examine the cause of death of the deceased.

After digging into his pocket, he discovered that he had no habit of carrying white gloves and evidence bags with him at all.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded next to him, "Do you want this? Here it is."

A pair of white gloves was handed to Nakamura. Nakamura took it and looked along, and he saw Kudo Shinichi's childish face.

"Mr. Police Officer, we meet again."

"How did you get in?" Nakamura put on his gloves and warned worriedly, "Don't run around at the scene, it will destroy the evidence!"

"I know, there are always those who study hard." Kudo took out another pair of gloves from nowhere and put them on his hands.

It was obvious that the average size gloves were too big for his hands, making it impossible to use them flexibly.

Nakamura glanced at him, and Kudo understood and chose to stay where he was without moving.

Nakamura just let him stay at the door and began to carefully explore the scene, trying to find useful information.

Since the members of the professional forensics department had not arrived yet, Nakamura had to check carefully and pay attention to keeping the scene intact.

Judging from the face, it is very obvious that there is cyanide poisoning. If you get close and smell it with your hands, you can really smell the bitter almond smell.

The focus of confirming the cause of death lies in the evidence and confirming the cause of death based on the evidence.

If you look closely, you can find that there are shallow tear stains on the side of the deceased's face, and the layer of pink is very obvious.

The deceased's long windbreaker was a new model. If you get close, you can smell the unique smell of the clothing store. As expected, the windbreaker was put on without being soaked in water after it was bought.

The deceased had no belongings with her. Nakamura looked through her pockets and found nothing. The mobile phone that was already relatively common was nowhere to be seen.

If nothing else, the deceased should have carried a small bag with his belongings.

At this moment, the small bag was nowhere to be seen.

When Nakamura came out after the inspection, Hagiwara had already asked for basic information and confirmed the deceased's previous seat.

Several diners seated near the deceased were also found.

Two of the several diners are residents of nearby communities. The part-time owner said that they are regular customers who come here to eat noodles.

One person was dressed casually, wearing ordinary home clothes, a long T-shirt, casual pants, and slippers. He looked like he was simply coming to eat. He was a college student living in a nearby student apartment. His place was at the table to the right of the deceased.

One was carrying a briefcase common to office workers and was wearing a regular work suit.

He has the usual characteristics of a middle-aged man, with a slightly stout figure and a receding hairline on top of his head. He deliberately left some short hair for cover, so it is not too obvious.

His profession is a software developer, which is a relatively new profession at present. In the era of rapid development of computer information technology, his profession is very popular, but ordinary people have no understanding of their work.

The migrant worker sat in front of the deceased.

Finally there was a young lady, sitting behind the deceased.

The clothes are quite ordinary. This person said he happened to pass by after get off work and saw a lot of diners and came in randomly.

Nakamura noticed that the lady had a small white handbag in her hand. It looked natural and nothing unusual.

The three of them all agreed that they did not know the deceased and that this was the first time they saw him.

The case immediately reached a deadlock.

The identity of the deceased was unknown, and none of the diners in the store knew him. The owner of the store did not remember whether the deceased had any companions. When asked around, the diners all said they had no memory.

Although this ramen shop is not big, it tastes good and there are quite a few customers coming and going.

There are five or six tables set up inside the store, and there is a circle around the bar. There are also several tables in the open space outside the store.

Today there was only a part-time student taking care of it, so it was normal for me to be so busy that I didn’t notice.

Nakamura and Hagiwara were in the store before, but they were concentrating on talking about their own topics, and they were quite surprised when the screams came out.

It's normal that other people don't notice. After all, not everyone is nosy and will remember all the information around them.

Nakamura and Hagiwara exchanged information.

It was determined that the breach was in the deceased's belongings. However, among the three people sitting close to each other, one had no luggage, one had a briefcase, and the other only had a carry-on bag.

The clothes all fit reasonably well, and they're not the kind to hold things down.

However, just in case, it is best to search carefully to find out the identity of the deceased. However, a more detailed search can only wait for the arrival of the search department.

The two were not criminal police officers and had no right to search personal belongings without authorization. The scene was tense for a while.

Nakamura looked at the suspects carefully and found that their emotions were quite normal. He was really confused and nervous but not panicked when a stranger died, but he suddenly became a suspect.
