However, having said that, Tang Ze still unconsciously sped up his movements, and Xiaolan and Conan did the same. For a moment, it seemed like a race.
This scene made Kogoro Mouri extremely confused, but before he could ask anything, the three of them had finished their meal and ran out in a hurry.
"What...so mysterious..." Kogoro Mouri scooped a spoonful of fried rice and put it into his mouth speechlessly, then buried his head in eating.
After leaving the Mori Detective Agency, Karasawa drove the two of them to Miss Nishimura's best friend's house.
After some questioning, the three learned an important piece of news. Although Miss Nishimura did not know her current boyfriend, she knew her ex-boyfriend.
It has been almost five years. The other party is a man named Bian Jian who loves hiking.
"It's the same as what the neighbor lady heard!"
After bidding farewell to Miss Nishimura's best friend, Xiaolan said excitedly, "This means our guess is very likely correct!"
Then Tang Ze drove the two of them all the way to Henmi's house. After asking the housekeeper of the Henmi family, the group completely confirmed their thoughts.
There is absolutely no way that Miss Nishimura's boyfriend is the murderer!
They had such irrefutable evidence.
"It seems that the only criminal left in this case is that person..." The three of them thought of that person's words at the same time, and their eyes became serious.
After identifying the main suspect, the rest is just a matter of time and effort. Facing a behemoth like the Metropolitan Police Department, it is easy to investigate all the circumstances of a person.
After contacting Takagi and Chiba, the group separated and carefully checked everything around the suspect, and finally obtained decisive evidence from one of the suspect's friends.
The three of them drove to the Yuefang Hotel again and found Kenji Suenaga who was working.
"It's you guys, what's wrong, Mr. Criminal? Do you have any questions?"
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Kenji Suenaga looked at the three people and greeted them with a smile.
"It's like this." Tang Ze took out the portrait he had drawn: "Regarding the portrait I drew based on your description..."
"That's probably all I can remember." Kenji Suenaga smiled apologetically.
"No, that's not what I want to say." Tang Ze shook his head and said, "This portrait was wrong from the beginning."
"Eh? What are you talking about?" Kenji Suenaga was stunned when he heard what Tang Ze said, and then a trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart.
"We have something we'd like to ask for your help with. Could you please come with us to Miss Nishimura's house?" Tang Ze smiled and said, "Of course I'll explain the situation to your boss."
"Of course you can...but what are we going there for?" Kenji Suenaga looked confused.
"Some things might be more intuitive if we talk about them there." Tang Ze smiled and said, "It's not far away anyway."
Tang Ze drove the three of them to Miss Nishimura's apartment and walked into the living room.
On the dining table, two exquisite meals for two were quietly placed there, as if waiting for someone to taste them.
"Mr. Detective, why did you call me here?" Kenji Suenaga looked at the scene inside the house and a hint of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes, but he still maintained a natural expression and asked.
"Mr. Suenaga, don't you find it strange to see these two dishes on the table?" Xiaolan asked while looking at the dishes on the table.
"Strange? What's so strange about that?" Suenaga Kenji looked at the food on the table and asked in confusion, "This is just a normal table of food, right?"
"These are the dishes that Miss Nishimura carefully prepared for her boyfriend whom she hasn't seen for a month."
Xiaolan explained: "In this situation, no matter who you are, it would be more reasonable to let the other person taste it first, and then ask the other person how it tastes before eating it yourself.
But look at these dishes, only Miss Sachiko has touched them, as if she is eating while the others are just watching.
I think anyone would let the other person eat something at this time. After all, it is something they prepared with great care. Even if they have eaten or have no appetite, they should still try a little symbolically.
But the food at Miss Sachiko's boyfriend's place hasn't even been touched, so I'm sure no one came here to eat with Miss Sachiko last night!"
"I don't know why you're telling me this, but isn't this too weird?"
Kenji Suenaga suppressed his inner uneasiness and said, "Look, there are clearly two servings of food here.
If it's just for one person, why waste such expensive ingredients and make two servings?
And it’s served as a meal for two.”
"This is what Miss Sachiko prepared for her boyfriend." Xiaolan said this with some sadness.
"Hey, you just said you were the only one in the apartment, and now you say it's for her boyfriend."
Suenaga Kenji smiled helplessly and said, "Isn't this contradictory? The more you talk, the more confused you become."
"Although Ms. Nishimura expressed her happiness about her boyfriend coming yesterday, both in front of her colleagues and in front of Xiaolan, and even prepared a careful dinner, that was just a lie he made up."
Tang Ze spoke out the truth behind this contradiction: "From the very beginning, Miss Nishimura was only one person.
But she made two dishes and pretended to be on a date with her boyfriend, talking and eating with him.
In other words, if the neighbors heard what happened at Miss Nishimura's house, it was just a one-man show performed by her.
