Just as Takagi Wataru was about to call the Ginza police booth, Miss Yuki suddenly stopped him:
"No need to check, I didn't go to buy water."
"Yuki?"
Ogawa Reiko frowned:
"You didn't go to buy water, so why did you take so long?"
"Because I called my boyfriend..."
Assistant Yuqi lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look into Ogawa Reiko's eyes:
"I was arguing with my boyfriend recently, so I was forgetful. Miss Lizi, I actually prepared a few extra bottles of mineral water for you, but I forgot to take them down from the car. So when you asked me to go buy some water, I secretly called my boyfriend... Sorry."
"well...."
Ogawa Reiko sighed and held her forehead:
"No wonder you've been absent-minded lately. It's okay. I forgive you."
"Hey, hey, hey, stop talking to yourselves here!"
Conan couldn't bear to watch the two of them playing double act anymore and said:
"Since Miss Youqi said she was on the phone with her boyfriend, please show us your call records. Secondly, you were holding a towel before you went to buy water, but when you came back, the towel was gone. According to what you said, the towel should have been left in the car. If it wasn't in the car... doesn't that prove that you're lying?"
“.......”
Assistants Yuki and Ogawa Reiko looked at Conan at the same time, with a hint of panic in their eyes.
"Conan is right, Ms. Yuki, please show me your call records."
Kogoro Maori said lightly.
"I see...."
Assistant You Qi silently took out her cell phone and checked the call records. Sure enough, there was a call at the top that lasted nearly 20 minutes.
"Now you can trust me."
Conan looked at Maori Kogoro and was about to give a hint when he heard him say:
"Whether it is or not, let's test it and we'll know."
In full view of everyone, Kogoro Mori pressed the redial button and the call was immediately redialed.
However....
The busy tone rang for a long time, but the other party did not answer.
"What's going on? Miss Yuqi, could you please explain it to me?"
"That's normal..."
Assistant Youqi pursed her lips:
"I just said that I had a fight with my boyfriend, so it's normal for him not to answer the phone..."
"Then change your phone and call again."
Kogoro Mouri took out his cell phone and called the number on the call log.
beep....
beep....
[Hello, the number you dialed is currently unanswered...]
Still the familiar busy tone.
Maori Kogoro glanced at his assistant Yuki, who had an unnatural expression, and asked:
"Ms. Youqi, please tell me the truth. Who is calling?"
"It's...my boyfriend's..."
"You should know that the police can investigate the information of the account owners of telecommunications companies. It's not difficult."
"This is indeed my boyfriend's phone number."
Assistant Youqi suddenly raised her head and said word by word:
"He didn't answer the phone, he must be busy. Are you allowed to answer the phone while at work? If the boss finds out, your salary will be deducted! Just wait a while, he will definitely call back!"
Before he finished speaking, Kogoro Mouri's cell phone rang, and the caller ID showed the number he had just dialed.
With a frown, Kogoro Maori answered the phone and turned on the speakerphone.
"Hello, this is Xianyun Yoga Studio, how can I help you?"
The person who answered the phone was a man with a soft and neutral voice, and it was impossible to tell his age.
Maori Kogoro and Megure Jusan exchanged a glance. Megure Jusan cleared his throat and asked:
"Hello, I am Inspector Jusan Megure of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. May I ask if you know Miss Kuno Yuki?"
"Yuki? Of course I know her, she's my girlfriend."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then the man asked:
"What happened to her?"
"To be specific, she was involved in a murder case, and as a suspect, the police wanted to check her alibi."
Megure Jusan said:
"You spoke to her on the phone for 20 minutes between 2:30 and 3 this afternoon, correct?"
"...Yes, it was indeed me who was on the phone with her."
The man opposite said indifferently:
"Who is the deceased?"
"Akutagawa Ippon."
strangeness!
Listening to the conversation between Megure Jusan and the man, Conan's eyelids jumped and he noticed something strange.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Kidd squatted beside him and asked in a low voice:
"Is there something wrong with this man?"
"Didn't you notice?"
Conan glanced at Kidd:
"Ms. Youqi is obviously his boyfriend, but since the call was connected, this man has never asked about Youqi's safety!"
"Hiss....Yeah!"
Kidd was shocked as if he had suddenly realized something:
"Since they are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, they should have the most basic greetings, right? But this man not only didn't ask Yuqi, but he was...something..."
For a moment, Kidd didn't know how to describe the man's behavior. In short, it was very strange.
Just like....
"Like he knew Yuki was okay."
Sakaki Makoto's voice came from the headset:
"There are only two possibilities for this situation. One is that this man and Miss Youqi are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship at all, so there is no question of whether they care about each other or not. However, this would conflict with the confessions of the man and Youqi."
