Inspector Megure's words shocked everyone present.

Needless to say, Yoko Okino and Takasuke Higo were shocked by what they heard. Haibara and Kogoro Mori beside them were also shocked by what they heard.

Because they initially thought that the case was only related to the three people in the restaurant.

But unexpectedly, while asking questions, he actually made his idol a suspect.

The number of suspects suddenly increased from three to five. Even though these two were together the whole time, the possibility of a crime cannot be ruled out.

"Anyway, let's conduct the interrogation individually." Inspector Megure looked at everyone with a serious expression.

"I just said it, it's impossible for me to commit a crime!"

In the backfield locker room, Hong Jiang Baoren defended himself after being questioned, "When I first went to see the boss, I came to this backfield with Mr. Yamada.

After that, we went to the men's restroom. Then, although I took the two to the warehouse, I didn't go in. I just shouted at the door. I didn't have time to kill anyone."

"That's true, but you also had an opening." Tang Ze said, "According to the three of you're going to do tonight, you had an opening to commit the crime while Miss Lingzi was serving food or wine."

"That's right, for example, pretending to go to the bathroom, but actually secretly going to the warehouse." Inspector Megure nodded in agreement.

"That's impossible."

Hong Jiang Baoren shook his head upon hearing this. "The warehouse is usually locked, and the key to unlock it is hung on the wall at the entrance of the corridor where our employees can see it at any time."

"Why should it be hung on the wall where all employees can see it?" Takagi said with a strange look on his face after hearing what Hongjiang Baoren said.

"Because some staff members have sneaked into the backyard and warehouse to smoke before," Hong Jiang Baoren explained. "The boss hates the smell of cigarettes, so he did this to prevent this from happening."

"Will this lounge be locked during normal times?" Tang Ze asked.

"That's right." Hong Jiang Bao Ren nodded and said, "And the back door too. Only the boss has the spare key."

"Is it the spare key found on the victim?" Tang Ze looked at Takagi and asked.

"Yes, it's in his trouser pocket."

Gao Mu nodded and said seriously, "But we can't find the victim's phone.

Forensic personnel are currently searching the warehouse."

"Is that so?" Inspector Megure nodded upon hearing this.

"In short, it's not me!" Hong Jiang Baoren said seriously, "And I have no reason to resent the boss!"

"But it seems that you are the one smoking in this room, right?"

Tang Ze looked at Hong Jiang Bao Ren and said, "I smelled cigarettes on you earlier, and then I asked the hostess, and she said that the boss scolded you for smoking."

"If that's the case, then there's enough motive." Inspector Megure stared at Hongjiang Baoren with a scrutinizing look: "Do you have anything to explain?"

"No, no, it's just because..."

Hong Jiang Bao Ren stuttered and was about to make some excuses, but Hui Yuan, who was standing beside him, put his hands on his hips and urged him unhappily, "If you are the criminal, can you please confess quickly?"

Hong Jiang Baoren heard Huiyuan's panic and glanced at her, then looked at the scrutinizing eyes around him and said quickly: "If we talk about the motive for murder, these two people are obviously stronger than me!!"

When these words came out, everyone present was stunned. Tang Ze, however, was used to it. He asked calmly, "Then tell me about their situation."

"Mr. Yamada, the sommelier, had a big fight with the boss yesterday over alcohol."

Hong Jiang Bao Ren quickly revealed: "As for the waitress, Lingzi, she is the boss's woman!"

"They are in a relationship, how can this be considered murderous?" Tang Ze frowned and said, "Explain yourself more clearly."

"Ah..." Hong Jiang Baoren hurriedly explained, "I think the two of them couldn't reach an agreement on their breakup, so they killed the boss."

"Okay, get out now."

Hearing Hong Jiang Baoren's unreliable words, Tang Ze frowned and said, "Call Ban Chang Lingzi over."

"oh oh..."

When Hong Jiang Baoren heard Tang Ze's words, he nodded quickly, stood up and went outside to call Ban Chang Lingzi back.

"I am indeed dating my boss, but we have a very good relationship and are not talking about breaking up at all!"

After entering the room, facing the questioning of Tang Ze and others, Banchang Lingzi looked surprised.

"But the waiter Mr. Hongjiang said before that the boss no longer goes home with you after get off work recently." Inspector Megure said after hearing this.

"That's because Asuka has been staying overnight at the store lately," Banchang Lingzi quickly explained. "He's been trying to figure out how to deal with the poor business performance."

"Are you going to spend the night here?" Inspector Megure asked in surprise.

"That's right." Banchang Lingzi nodded and looked at the white cabinet beside him. "That's why the boss's locker on the left is full of clothes that need to be changed."

Hearing this, Gao Mu reached out and opened the first cabinet door on the left. "There are really a lot of clothes in there, even a change of shoes."

"Isn't that right!" Banchang Lingzi said quickly, "The reason why Hongjiang said that is because he is my ex-boyfriend, so he can't help but feel jealous."

"But since he was sleeping on the sofa with his whole body covered with a blanket, you shouldn't be able to see his face," Conan questioned.
