Hugging together in a crowded public place is still a bit too shameful. After letting Gojo Satoru hug him for a while, Haruna finally comforted this person and let out a long sigh of relief.

He took advantage of the opportunity to find a soft chair beside him and sat down, wondering if he could ask the back kitchen for hot water, if not, he would have to go back with this image.

After all, I have no real feeling about being able to switch genders anytime, anywhere.

Left and right were free, so Qingli briefly described a series of things she encountered and heard when she went to the drink area just now.

"Did you just say that you saw a baby ghost on a person?" Gojo Satoru asked casually.

Qingli hummed, recalled it quickly, and said uncertainly: "I remember that this type of wraith curse is collectively called Zashiki Doji."

Different from the monster Zashiki Doji who in Japanese legend will bring good luck and wealth to the house, the "Zashiki Doji" here actually refers to the false vengeful spirit based on the dead baby, because the negative emotions of the baby spirit itself are very weak, Even with the blessings of relatives, most zashiki warji will not exceed the highest level three.

The wraith on that man's body doesn't even count as Level [-]. It can only cause him physical discomfort and is not dangerous.

"Hmm...I got it!" Gojo Gojo frowned and murmured, then clapped his hands suddenly, his eyes glowed eagerly, "This is a sign of something happening."

Haruhi: "..."

"...Are you sure you want to say that at someone's wedding?"

Really always keep in mind the purpose of his coming, he thought this person had long forgotten.

"never mind."

Wujo Satoru didn't care about such things at all.

As if to confirm his words, Qingli suddenly noticed a staff member eagerly walking out from the curtain behind, and whispered something to the hostess of the restaurant who was still talking with someone. Clearly taking a full view of the expressions of the people around the ceremony stage, I also saw that the expression of the hostess who was still smiling suddenly changed, and she was faintly anxious, not sure what she heard.

Immediately, the groom in a black hakama came hurriedly, with an unconcealable uneasy expression on his face, the hostess seemed to pretend to be calm and comforted him a few words, leaving the guest in the middle of the conversation and striding out of the private room.

This scene fell into the eyes of many people, and everyone vaguely realized that the situation was wrong, so that the atmosphere became subtle, from normal voice communication to whispering.

Qingli twitched the corner of her mouth helplessly, was it true or not, did Wu really hit the mark?

Immediately afterwards, about 5 minutes later, a shrill scream suddenly sounded, and it spread into the already quieter wedding hall.

Almost at the next moment, the voices of the guests stagnated strangely, and everyone's faces showed more or less confusion. Other than that, only Gojo Satoru and Qingli were left with a pre-anticipated expression. Extremely calm.

The two of them were still casually eating dessert in place, completely unaware that this place might become a crime scene.

Qingli scooped up a spoonful of pudding and put it into her mouth. Taking a glance out of the corner of her eye, she found that the three members of the Maori family had disappeared from the hall. Maybe she heard the screams and rushed over.

Sure enough, the hostess of the restaurant came back from the back door with a pale complexion, and regretfully told everyone that something happened to the bride, the wedding ceremony was suspended, and the people present needed to stay for the convenience of questioning when the police arrived.

When they heard that even the police were coming, the situation must be more serious. Some people showed a little displeasure on their faces. No one wanted to be forced to stay here for questioning by the police just because they came to attend a happy event.

But fortunately, they are not unreasonable people, they all suppress their emotions and wait patiently, but it is inevitable that they will be a little irritable.

Thinking of something, Qingli put down the glass plate after eating the pudding, thoughtfully: "Ah, if the police come, then I'd better change back quickly."

In case he needed to verify his identity, he hadn't figured out how to explain his physique, and he didn't want to break the worldview of the police uncles.

He pointed to the open kitchen not far away, which is usually used for chefs to show off their skills, and said, "I'll ask for some hot water over there."

"Want me to accompany you?"

"No, I'll be back soon."

Qingli waved her hand, got up and walked towards the kitchen. Unexpectedly, the situation in the kitchen was also chaotic. Several helpers were busy under the command of the chef, and they seemed to be checking the kitchen facilities and equipment. and tools and things like that.

Sensing someone approaching, the head chef who was still scolding the little chefs frowned and glanced at it. When he saw a young girl, he put away his black face and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Qingli smiled obediently: "I want to borrow some hot water, do you have it here?"

"Hot water? Um... yes." The head chef called a man, told him to go down to get some hot water, and asked casually, "What do you want hot water for?"

Qingli, who had planned her words well from the beginning, replied with ease, "I feel a little uncomfortable."

The head chef nodded knowingly and didn't ask any further questions. While talking, the assistant chef quickly brought up a pot of boiling hot water, and the head chef thoughtfully brought him a larger ceramic cup, filled it with hot water and handed it over. .

"Hold it well, be careful it's hot."

"Thank you."

Qingli thanked him sincerely, but his eyes slowly glanced towards the kitchen, and he tentatively asked, "Did something happen here? You look so busy."

The head chef's eyes were unclear, as if expressing your curiosity, Haruari pretended not to read the meaning of his intention to drive away the customers, and continued to smile.

Xu Shi was indeed full of irritability right now, the head chef thought for a second and spoke vaguely.

"It's just to cooperate with the boss's work, and it has something to do with the accident just now... The child is so curious about what to do."

After the words fell, another chef hurriedly walked beside him, who whispered in the head chef's ear, and the expression on the head chef's face was incredible enough.

"There's a strange smell in the ice machine?" The chef's expression was sullen, "Who didn't clean it up in time after using it yesterday, forget it, let's just ignore it and see if there are any problems with other things."

After finishing speaking, he looked serious, looked at Qingli again, and gave the order to evict the guest.

"Is there anything else? If nothing else, please leave."

"Okay, sorry to bother you then."

.........

"Are you back?" Wujo Satoru boredly turned his gaze to Haruno who had recovered his original body.

Qingli nodded, and asked again: "Have the police come?"

"No, how can it be so fast."

"Okay." Qingli shrugged, "Are we just waiting here?"

Wujo Wujo stroked his chin, and suddenly suggested, "How about we go and have a look at the back? Aren't you curious?"

Hearing this, Haruto agreed with his proposal with a face of "you have finally made it this far".

"Come on, if we can get in."

The two avoided the crowd and walked quietly to the backstage. They could tell at a glance which room was where the crime occurred. At the moment, the room was full of voices and many people were standing. Besides the hostess of the restaurant and the groom, Mao Lilan and the others were also there.

But there was no bride among them, and Qingli guessed that the bride should have been sent to the hospital as soon as she was discovered.

The two of them took advantage of the chaos and blended into the crowd of onlookers very well, so they could more clearly observe Mori Kogoro who was reasoning in the middle of the room and Edogawa Conan who was taught by Mao Lilan after running around the room.

"There's something wrong with that kid."

Hearing Gojo Satoru's words, Haruto was a little surprised: "You feel it too?"

"Of course, nothing can escape my eyes."

"Indeed, he gave me a strong sense of disobedience, not like a child."

He actually had some ideas, but wasn't sure yet.

While they were talking, the police who received the alarm call came late, walked in through the back door of the restaurant, and went straight to the scene of the crime, which was surrounded by a group of people.

The person who came was the first search section of the Metropolitan Police Department. After looking around the scene, they dispersed to collect evidence and investigate. The fat police officer in the brown top hat also started a routine questioning.

What can be learned is that the bride was in cyanide. When she was found, she collapsed in the room, had difficulty breathing, and her body was abnormally cyanotic. There was an overturned glass, coffee and unmelted ice cubes in hand. Scattered all over the place.

After testing, it was found that the coffee contained cyanide. No accident, it was the cause of the bride. However, the only child present made a suspicious voice.

"It's strange, sister Xiaolan, look, this ice cube is about to melt, and it's melted together with the coffee."

This seemingly unintentional child's remark shocked the leading police officer, something flashed through his mind quickly, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to test the composition of the ice cubes in the coffee.

Unsurprisingly, ice cubes were the main source of cyanide, not because the drug was added later, but in the ice cubes from the start.

In other words, the ice itself is a condensation of cyanide.

I asked the back kitchen again, and I got a reply that the ice machine had a strange smell. After inspection, it was found that it was indeed cyanide.

At the same time, the bride's friend mentioned that the person had the habit of chewing ice cubes while drinking iced coffee, and the chef also recalled that the bride had come to the back kitchen to take some ice cubes.

Knowing the bride's eating habits in this way is enough to confirm that the crime was committed by an acquaintance. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the intake was not too much, otherwise it may be a cold corpse when found.

"...sudden doubts about the investigative capabilities of the police."

Seeing this scene, Qingli muttered silently, and Gojo Satoru beside him also smiled, and added the second half of his sentence: "It's not as good as a primary school student."

That's right, it's not as good as a primary school student. Although the identity of a primary school student is still in doubt, the level is indeed not good.

It wasn’t long before the police’s routine questioning was their turn. Gojo Satoru hadn’t left the lobby from the beginning to the end, so naturally he couldn’t ask anything useful. Instead, Haruhi told the police what he had encountered in the bathroom, so that he could deduce the approximate time of the vote. scope.

The police then focused their attention on those who had been in the kitchen during this period.

There was nothing else to do after the questioning, and the two of them gradually felt bored, but they couldn't leave the restaurant yet, and at most they could only act in the restaurant.Seeing that the case hadn't progressed for a long time, Haruto was going to take Gojo Satoru back to eat more food, even if this happened, it didn't affect his appetite in the slightest.

At this moment, Haruto noticed a small figure sneaking behind the bookshelf in the corner, was it Conan Edogawa or who?

Just when he was about to look away and raise his foot to leave, he saw the child fiddle with the watch on his wrist, aiming at Mori Kogoro, who was still gagging and reasoning some nonsense.

Whoosh—something like a silver needle shot out from the side of the dial. At the same time, Mori Kogoro's voice stopped abruptly, and he swayed and fell down on the chair that had been prepared in advance.

Haruhi: ...? ?
