"Um, is that so?" Takagi asked the girl next to him.

"Yes, I was just in her beauty salon and asked her to help me trim my hair." After seeing this scene, Hime Eri couldn't help but explain.

"So, the beauty salon you made an appointment with today, Mom, is her home?" Xiaolan said suddenly.

"Well, this is Miss Yasaka Kaishiro. I go to her shop often."

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Hime Eri smiled and introduced, "This beauty salon has been open for a long time. It was inherited from her deceased father."

At this point, Hime Eri looked down at Conan and praised him, "But you're really amazing. It's not surprising that Detective Tang Ze could find me by smell, but how did you find me?"

"It's because of that Yeban sister's hand." Conan said with a smile, "Because there is a thick callus on the second knuckle of her right ring finger.

The reason why there are calluses in that area is because the ring finger needs to pass through the ring to grip the handle when cutting hair.

Because of its unique location, this type of scissor cocoon is only found in professions that frequently use scissors."

"But if she's a tailor, she'd use scissors often, right?" Xiaolan asked, puzzled. "How did you know she was a hairdresser?"

"It's very simple, because I noticed that her nails are more brown." Conan explained with a smile: "That's because she often has to dye customers' hair due to her work needs."

"Why do you know this?" Kogoro Mouri looked at Conan with suspicion and asked a fatal question.

This immediately brought Conan, who had been too proud of himself, back to his original form. Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri in panic and was speechless.

“I taught you that.”

Tang Ze kept complaining in his heart, but on the surface he had to finish the job for this guy who was used to showing off his reasoning: "Conan is a very observant kid and he's willing to learn, so I taught him how to judge someone's job.

Of course, what we are learning now are still some common professions. Barber happened to be one of the examples I gave him when I explained it to him."

"Ahaha...that's it..." Conan scratched his head shyly and said, "Today is my first time experimenting."

"Siguoyi, does that mean Conan is Detective Tang Ze's senior disciple?" Xiaolan looked at Conan and said happily for her, "You must learn well from Detective Tang Ze~"

"This kid was already running around the crime scene, and now he's going to get even worse." Kogoro Mouri said with a look of disgust.

"What? Isn't it because you, Dad, refuse to teach and always suppress Conan's interest?"

After hearing what her father said, Xiaolan retorted dissatisfiedly: "Look at Detective Tang Ze, he has guided Conan very well, and now he has achieved initial results, hasn't he?

Oh, by the way, Conan, since you have become a disciple, you must be more respectful to your master in the future. Shouldn’t you also go through the apprenticeship ceremony…”

"No need. Detective Tang Ze said that there are no such rules there. Just treat him as an ordinary teacher."

Conan heard that Xiaolan was getting more and more off track, and that Dayouzhen wanted him to be Tang Ze's apprentice. He couldn't help but wave his hands around and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's solve the case first."

"That's right." Xiaolan nodded, "Business is more important."

"Huh..." Conan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and glared at Tang Ze who seemed to be smiling.

He was a man who intended to surpass the other person. If he really became his disciple, he would never be able to hold his head up high for the rest of his life.

Even if I surpass him in the future, the other party will definitely use the master-disciple relationship as an excuse, saying that he was a good teacher and so on.

Moreover, this evil-minded and sinister guy will definitely use the status of master and apprentice to play all kinds of pranks on Xiaolan and the others.

That's why he took the initiative and described the other party as an ordinary teacher, not the kind of master who followed the ancient system.

If that were the case, he would truly become the heir to the mantle, and his status would directly change from a competitor to the younger of the younger brothers.

Therefore, this master-disciple relationship must never be recognized!

Seeing that Conan had changed the subject with his joke, Tang Ze did not continue to pester him. Instead, he focused on the murder case in front of him: "Excuse me, Miss Yeban, how many beauty salons are there around here?"

"Huh?" Ye Banjie said, feigning confusion. "Why do you ask?"

Takagi explained Karasawa's reasoning to Hasaka Kaiyo, who thought for a moment and said, "There are probably two or three more, but none of the employees I know of have such great strength."

"Sister, you are so mean~"

Hearing Miss Yeban's words, Conan, the drama queen beside him, started to act up again. He looked at her with a wronged face and said, "Just now when I asked you about the beauty salon nearby, you refused to tell me."

"That... that... this is because I received a great mental shock."

Ye Banjie looked at Tang Ze and the other criminals and said frankly, "I think you will find this matter later if you investigate, so I'll tell you first.

In fact, Mr. Nagasaku and I were classmates in high school when we were teenagers, and we even dated for a while at that time.

That’s why I was speechless when I saw him being killed, because I really didn’t expect that the deceased would be him…”

"Then may I ask, has Mr. Nagasaku been to your beauty salon?" Tang Ze asked calmly, but he had already begun to identify the other party as a suspect in his heart.

Anyone related to the deceased is a suspect, not to mention being at the crime scene. This is basic common sense in criminal investigation.
