Conan Moslin

While Officer Takagi was still hesitating, Conan's clear voice of testimony was heard.

"Yes, that's it..."

Conan looked around at everyone still in the store.

This includes Eri Kisaki who just came in, but because she happened to have an accident when she came in, she can be excluded immediately.

Including two hard-working waiters, Yuno Hirahara and Toru Amuro.

"That big guy standing over there..."

The burly man who entered the store and started yelling ruined the atmosphere inside the store, but he couldn't climb over the wall.

"And the man with the long beard..."

He is still a student but his face is full of stubble and he doesn't look young at all.

"The brother with the tied hair..."

Looking at the playboy whom he had been paying attention to before the accident, Conan finally managed to calm down.

"And this big sister with brown curly hair."

There was also the person next to her who had just scared him, but she was not a suspect, so he couldn't just make up a story.

Miyano Shiho suddenly thought of Kasi's two meaningful words just now.

Looks like someone is dead...

You just went to the bathroom and might be a suspect...

In other words, Kasi knew someone had died when he heard the scream, or perhaps even before that?

Just like her, she was able to confirm the amount of blood she saw from afar on the ground through the gap between those people.

The child who came forward to testify was only seven or eight years old. He wore a blue suit, a red bow tie, and huge black-framed glasses. He spoke clearly and looked very unusual.

"Officer, can I go in with her?" As a "friend", Castagna seemed very competent and considerate. She stood up with a sincere and concerned expression, "I won't disturb the case."

She looked directly at Officer Takagi, hoping for a positive answer.

But it's not likely.

Li An's gaze shifted slightly behind him for a moment, then quickly retracted.

Looking at Miss Castagna with a sincere face, Officer Takagi felt even more embarrassed.

"Should... can..."

Snapped!

A blue file folder was slapped on Takagi's head before he could finish his words.

Officer Sato had stood behind him at some point, with a look of disapproval on his face.

Of course, Takagi couldn't see this expression, but Li An saw it very clearly.

Li An lowered his eyes.

"Gao Mu Police Officer?"

The voice of the person behind me became more and more emphasized.

Officer Takagi froze, and didn't dare to look back, but quickly changed his tone.

"Just let Miss Gong Zhisui in..."

Officer Sato stepped forward, put her hand behind him, turned her head and signaled Officer Takagi to bring the people in, and she would take over the routine questioning of the others outside.

"Yes... yes!" Officer Takagi was stunned for a moment, then left with Miyano Shiho.

"Wait a minute." Officer Sato glanced at Li An and said, "The child doesn't look very old. Please help take care of her."

The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, still of school age.

Officer Takagi nodded.

As Li An looked at Shirley's back as she left, this thought came to his mind.

It's such a small place, and I have to run back and forth. It's really tiring.

"Okay, then Miss Castagna, please describe the details you noticed from the time you entered the store to the time the accident happened. Maybe it can help us." Officer Sato sat opposite Li An, spread out his notebook, and softened his tone. "The sooner the real murderer is identified, the sooner your friend can leave."

This scene is so familiar.

[“Ms. Kuriyasu, although I don’t know what the death information I just told you means, there was an eyewitness who saw you and Mr. Sugiura Ichiro having a conflict in an alley yesterday.” Officer Sato opened his notebook and asked about what happened. “So, I need to ask you about your schedule today and what happened yesterday.”]

The only difference is:

Last time, she was a suspect.

This time, she was a spectator.

Kuroba Kurian glanced at the closed bathroom door and narrated what she knew without changing her expression.

She and Shirley were equal partners in the mission, and she wanted to follow not to monitor him, but because she suddenly remembered that the murderer would hurt people.

If she were here, it would be safer to have one more target.

As for those who were originally monitoring and protecting Shirley...

Li An reached into his pocket, took out his cell phone and placed it on the table, and deliberately turned off the vibrate mode of the phone under the gaze of Officer Sato.

Under Officer Sato's inquiring gaze, she smiled slightly and said, "I'm on vacation now and won't answer work calls."

Anyway, he had already taken some people off work right under the team leader's nose.

It’s better to hide completely.

……

Mao Lilan was stopped at the door for a few minutes.

The waiter who called her before simply said that the person she was waiting for had arrived, but did not say that something happened in the store. She only found out when she rushed over and saw the familiar police car flashing red and blue lights in the rain.

She didn't know the police officer who stopped her, and the officer Takagi she knew was talking to two girls. He must be investigating a case. Then Officer Sato took over, but she still didn't want to disturb him.

"Excuse me... Mr. Officer, what happened?" She asked, and explained the situation carefully. "I was waiting for someone here before. My brother is still inside. Please let me in."

She was a little worried about her mother, Eri Kisaki.

...and Conan.

Although Conan always feels that he can do everything, he is still a child after all.

Come to think of it, Shinichi's appearance as a child... he wouldn't be recognized.

This was why she didn't want to bring Conan here, but she didn't expect that he would insist on coming here even though it was raining.

There is a case happening now.

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan felt even more worried.

The two police officers looked at each other, asked a few questions, and then nodded to let her in.

……

On the floor inside the bathroom, the bloodstains were still in layers of light color.

"Is this the order they came in, Conan?"

Inspector Megure used his round body to block the bloodstains, and after asking each person the purpose of coming to the store, he confirmed with Conan who was also staring at these people.

"Uh-huh!"

Conan looked at these people and felt that there seemed to be something different about them from before.

At the same time, he felt a very uncomfortable feeling of being peeped, which seemed to be mixed with some curiousity.

But after looking around, no one was paying attention to him.

Could it be the lawyer Fei just now?

Never mind, solving the case is important.

Conan and Eri Kisaki reached an agreement across the air that the first step to solving the case was to have everyone climb the top of the door that Conan had climbed before.

Miyano Shiho: Did I enter a fake murder scene?
