Chapter 1486 1494 [Second Thrust]

Bag thief: "..." I don't know why the Asian man was so alert, which led to their failure. But this time, it's not a big problem!

——The little girl in front of me is gentle and easy to talk to, completely different from the frightened man just now...Victory is just around the corner!

Just as he was thinking about it, the bag thief suddenly froze.

Someone grabbed him by the collar from behind, making it difficult for him to move his hand forward.

Almost at the same time, a voice sounded faintly from behind him:

"Xiao Lan, these two guys are in the same group. One of them soiled your clothes to attract attention, and the other took the opportunity to steal. I heard that they have a special name, called 'Ice Cream Bandits'."

Bag thief: “…”

Although he couldn't understand what the young Asian-looking man said, as soon as Jiang Xia finished speaking, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

The next moment, a shadow suddenly fell on him.

The bag thief slowly and stiffly raised his head.

He saw the cute high school girl with ice cream all over her body turned around and stared at him straight, her gloomy eyes seemed to contain the Asura hell.

"drink--!!"

Boom——

It was quiet all around.

Jiang Xia silently took two steps back and looked at the bag thief who was thrown to the ground, and felt a brief sympathy for 0.1 second.

He did not draw out his baton to join in. After all, these two men lacked murderous aura, and there was no point in beating them. It would be better to leave it to Maori to exercise his body.

…

After a while, the Ice Cream Bandit and his accomplices squirmed away.

Mao Lilan clenched her fists and calmed down a little.

But she was still unhappy when she looked at the ice cream on her body - anyone with a bunch of sticky, insect-attracting sweets on their body would not be able to go shopping in peace.

Huihara Ai opened a pack of wet wipes and stood on tiptoe to help her wipe it: "It's hard to wipe it all clean. But I just bought new clothes, why don't you change into them directly... or change them now when we go back to the villa?"

Mao Lilan hadn't walked around enough, and didn't want to spoil her companions' fun, so she decisively chose the former: "Let's find a place to change clothes."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and her eyes lit up: "Xiao Ai, do you want to join us?"

"..." Huiyuan Ai faced her passionate gaze and nodded reservedly, "Whatever."

…

They found a small park, and Mouri Ran and Haibara Ai went into the bathroom.

Jiang Xia glanced at the toilet from a distance.

Conan noticed him staring over there and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xia came back to his senses: "When I passed by this morning, there didn't seem to be so many people inside."

Conan listened to the chattering voices in the bathroom, remembered something, and shook the brochure in his hand:

"There are several stores around here that have limited sales of clothing. Calculating the time, they were just sold out half an hour ago. Maybe the people who bought the clothes couldn't wait to come here to change into them."

Dr. Agasa yawned, and at the same time couldn't help but glance at Conan: "..." Shinichi really can absorb all knowledge equally, without any picky, and can even read the clothing shopping guide...

…

When Mouri Ran and Haibara Ai entered the women's restroom, they were also slightly startled, surprised at the sudden increase in people there.

"It seems like everyone is here to change clothes." Looking at the tourists holding various shopping bags in the bathroom, Ran Mouri whispered to Haibara Ai.

There was a line of people in front of each cubicle.

Two people stood at the back of the line and waited for a while.

Suddenly, at the door of one of the cubicles, the woman who was first in line slammed the door and said angrily, “That’s enough! I’ve been waiting for twenty minutes. Are you taking a shower in there?!”

Mao Lilan was startled. The man spoke too fast and she didn't hear clearly: "What's wrong?"

Haibara Ai translated the general content.

Mao Lilan frowned, looking at the door that was still motionless, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

After a moment, she left the team and ran to the cubicle, sticking to the door and listening to the movement inside.

The grumpy old lady who knocked on the door was startled: "What are you doing?"

Mao Lilan gestured and said, "Could the person inside suddenly become seriously ill and faint?"

The tourist's voice unconsciously became lower: "No way..."

Haibara Ai also followed.

She glanced at the cubicle door, tugged at Mao Lilan's skirt, and after she lowered her head to look at her, she said, "Let me go up and take a look."

Mao Lilan nodded, picked her up and lifted her up easily.

Huiyuan Ai clung to the top of the door and peeked inside through the gap between the door and the ceiling. Her eyes jumped:

The good news is that Mao Lilan guessed wrong, there is no acutely ill patient here.

The bad news is…

There was a dead body lying in the cubicle.

——The black Gothic Lolita who had met them once was now slumped over the closed toilet lid, her head tilted back against the water tank, her eyes wide open as she died.

This posture exposed her snow-white neck, and above the black and white lace collar, there was a deep mark of strangulation. This should be the cause of death.

"..." It's only been a short time since I came out, and I've already encountered three cases...

Huibara counted on her fingers sadly, sighed softly, and suddenly began to doubt whether such a thing as event constitution really existed in the world.

At this time, Mao Lilan hugged her again and asked, "How is the situation?"

Huiyuan Ai came back to her senses: "It's pretty much the same as you guessed."

Mao Lilan: “!”

She got into a stance and was about to kick the door open to go in and rescue the person.

But before he could move his feet, Haibara Ai grabbed him and said, "But it's not an acute attack. It's more serious..."

Hearing this, Mao Lilan suddenly understood something and her face turned pale: "Could it be..."

Huihara Ai nodded: "Let's ask Jiang Xia to come in - the body looks like it was strangled. Let's not rashly destroy the scene."

After saying that, seeing that Mouri Ran was still buffering, Haibara Ai turned around and looked at the tourists next to her.

Then in English, "The people inside are dead."

"???"

When the tourist thought about how he had waited at the door of a dead person for twenty minutes, he couldn't help but scream in fear: "Ah——!!!"

The next moment the scream was heard.

Two figures rushed in one after the other. It looked like a primary school student broke in first, and the people behind him were trying to catch him.

Huibara Ai nodded secretly with relief: No need to go out and call for help.

…

In the public toilet.

After listening to what Haibara Ai said, Jiang Xia turned to look at Mao Li Ran.

I saw Mao Lilan looking at her phone with a confused look on her face.

Jiang Xia quickly understood: "Call 999."

"Oh! Okay." Mao Lilan came to her senses and dialed a new number for the police.

As a newcomer, she became less skilled in the police service.

But after all, there are many translators around me, so it’s not a big problem.

Not long after, sirens blared and a sheriff led a team to the scene.

…

Nearby snack street.

Inspector Yasa had just returned home and was drinking with old friends in a nearby tavern.
