"Finally I'm back. How's it going, kid? Any progress?"
Seeing Tang Ze and his group coming back, Maori Kogoro, who had already been impatient, hurried forward to ask.
And naturally, Karasawa also told Kogoro Mouri about what happened there, while Kazuha and Xiaolan went to ask their respective loved ones.
However, compared to Kazuha and the others, it seemed that all of Xiaolan's previous longing for Kudo Shinichi burst out after seeing him. He had only been away for a short while, but Xiaolan was already a little worried, fearing that he would never come back.
When she saw Shinichi coming back, she didn't care that her father's face was as black as a coal ball, and she hugged Kudo Shinichi's arm and refused to let go.
"I'm not going to run away, why are you holding me so tight..."
Although he felt very happy, Kudo Shinichi said helplessly when he saw that Tang Ze and others had already started to check the scene.
"But... I always feel like you'll disappear if I let go..."
Xiaolan felt a little aggrieved and a little shy. She blushed and hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I don't want to let go..."
The girl's shy expression and somewhat timid yet straightforward and firm words instantly broke down Kudo Shinichi's rational defenses.
"Fuck you! You're just not going to give me the antidote anymore. I made a promise!"
Kudo Shinichi wailed madly in his heart. He had thrown away all the instructions that Tang Ze had given him. He immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't leave. I..."
After a pause, Kudo Shinichi opened his mouth, finally made up his mind and said with a smile: "I still want to date you, so I won't disappear in the blink of an eye.
Please let me solve the case first, otherwise it will delay our appointment time."
"Hmm..."
Kudo Shinichi's straightforward words, which were almost a confession, instantly "sunk" Xiaolan. Her face turned red with shame, and invisible explosion smoke seemed to appear above her head.
Her brain was dizzy after that, as if she was drunk and felt light-headed. She didn't even know when she let go of his hand.
"Hey, wake up, Ran-chan is back to her senses~"
A shouting voice seemed to be coming from near and far away. When Xiaolan was woken up by the shouting, she found that it was He Ye who was standing in front of her.
"Hey, tell me the truth, what did Kudo give you?"
Looking at Xiaolan who had just come back to her senses, Heye's eyes flashed with gossip: "From the beginning, I saw that your face was very red with embarrassment, and then Kudo said something to you, and then you seemed to be drunk and didn't respond at all."
"I..." Xiaolan couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she heard her best friend's description: "It's nothing!"
"How could you possibly act like nothing's wrong?" He Ye's face was filled with disbelief. She said firmly, "I must have said some sweet nothings to you, which is why you reacted like this!"
"Sweet talk..."
Xiaolan, who was thin-skinned, recalled what the other party said, and her face, which had just returned to normal, blushed again, making He Ye even more certain.
But no matter how she asked, Xiaolan refused to tell her what they had talked about before.
In this somewhat solemn and serious atmosphere, the two girls' playfulness actually brought a touch of vitality.
However, compared to Xiaolan and the others, Tangze and others who were surrounding the car at the crime scene had serious expressions on their faces.
At this moment, they were surrounding the accident car, carefully checking the car for any unusual marks.
"But are you sure the car is driven this way?"
After seeing the scene, even the drag racing veteran Miwako Sato was amazed by the circumstances of the case.
"It's certainly bizarre, but that's what happened."
Tang Ze nodded and said, "Let's put that aside for now. I think the marks on the sealing strip next to the main driver's window are a bit suspicious. It looks like it was cut by a sharp rope like fishing line."
As he pointed his finger at the window seal above the main driver's door handle, everyone looked there and found that the black seal seemed to have been scraped by something from the outside.
The vertical marks looked very obvious, and Tang Ze's description was indeed vivid. They looked like marks left by cuts such as fishing line.
"Hey, you don't think the criminal put a thin line like fishing line on the victim's rope, then took advantage of other vehicles moving forward at the same time and strangled the victim to death?"
Kogoro Maori asked back with a look of disapproval.
"That's absolutely impossible to achieve."
Tang Ze shook his head and said, "If we use that method, using the force of the car to forcibly pull the victim out, I'm afraid the cervical vertebrae will be broken by the huge force before the victim suffocates."
"So this is also a headache." Hattori Heiji said helplessly.
"But what's a little strange is that the windows of the deceased's car were all open." Kudo Shinichi knelt down and looked inside the car.
"Could this guy be a heavy smoker?" Maori Kogoro said, looking into the car and gesturing, "Look at the ashtray in the car, it's filled with cigarette butts."
"If the purpose is to let the smoke out of the car, then it makes sense to open such a large window." Sato Miwako agreed.
"But this is a highway, and there's a speed limit. Today's speed is the minimum, and the wind will probably be pretty strong."
Tang Ze heard this and said, "If you just want some ventilation, just open the top a little bit."
"But how much is enough?" Kudo Shinichi said, "We don't smoke, so we don't know what the appropriate amount is."
