In the evidence bag, a stack of "Fukuzawa Yukichi" appeared in Takagi's hand.
When Kenji Suenaga saw what was in Takagi's hand, despair appeared in his eyes.
"It seems you already understand."
Tang Ze looked at Kenji Suenaga with a sharp gaze and said, “This is also what we got from your good friend Mr. Izaki.
According to him, you suddenly returned it this morning, right?
After the forensic department's identification, every banknote here has the fingerprints of two specific people. In addition to your fingerprint, the other person is Ms. Nishimura Sachiko's fingerprint! "
"What else do you have to say now!" Takagi asked, holding the cash in the evidence bag.
"Yes! Everything is just as this criminal said. I killed her because that woman tricked me!"
Kenji Suenaga's face was filled with anger when he said this: "When she rejected me, she said she had a boyfriend, but on the day of the fire, she was alone!
Even yesterday, she bought the same drinks and said her boyfriend would be there, so I wanted to see it with my own eyes!!
But when I arrived, I found that she was alone in the room, and there was no boyfriend at all!!
This made me feel like my sincerity had been played. She picked up the phone and was about to call the police, and I was furious..."
Kenji Suenaga loudly defended himself to everyone, "This is all her fault. She was the one who lied to me! She clearly doesn't have a boyfriend but she's still pretending!!"
"Then have you ever thought about this? If Miss Nishimura was really pretending, then he could just buy steak for two. Why would he cook it?"
Tang Ze asked back, "Given her appetite as a girl, it would be a complete waste to do this. Besides, she also poured two glasses of red wine."
"This..." Tang Ze's words left Kenji Suenaga speechless, but he couldn't figure out what the truth was.
"Even though Miss Sachiko lied to you, not everything she said was a lie."
Xiaolan said with some sadness: "I think Miss Sachiko's boyfriend must have come yesterday and sat in that seat..."
Xiaolan's words seemed to make Kenji Suenaga realize something, and soon Xiaolan spoke up and told the truth.
After visiting Miss Nishimura's best friend, the group learned that she was dating a man named Henmi when she was in college.
But five years ago, Bian Jian said he was going to climb a mountain and would be back on the 25th.
But that time, he never came back and even his body was not found. But who would have thought that half a year ago, someone found the backpack carried by Mr. Bian Jian on that mountain and handed it to Bian Jian's relatives.
In the backpack was a roll of negatives taken by Henjian in the past. These negatives were developed by Henjian's mother and given to her son's former lover, Miss Nishimura.
And coincidentally, that day was also the 25th.
Since that day half a year ago, she started preparing the thick-cut steak on the 25th of every month that her boyfriend Bian Jiansheng had promised her to eat when he returned.
Because she felt that Mr. Bian Jian would come here to visit her on the 25th.
"It was the same yesterday. Miss Sachiko must have thought that Mr. Henmi came to see her... At least that's how she thought..."
Tears welled up in Xiaolan's eyes. She murmured softly and firmly, as if she felt the same way: "As long as you have the confidence to wait, he will definitely come back. A lover will never betray you!"
'orchid...'
Seeing the other party's smile that was bitter but relieved, Conan felt a little uncomfortable.
But no matter how heartbroken he was, he could not reveal his identity for Xiaolan's safety. He could only stay by her side silently and wait for her to digest these sad emotions herself.
Tang Ze, who was standing by, walked directly to the silent Kenji Suenaga with great tact, and then he and Takagi led each other out of the door, one on each side.
By the time Xiaolan arrived, she had already returned to normal.
"Thank you so much, Detective Karasawa and Detective Takagi!" Xiaolan bowed to them and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble with my willfulness."
"It's okay." Officer Takagi waved his hands repeatedly. "Detective Maori helps us a lot every day. This is nothing."
"We still have prisoners to escort back, so we'll leave first." Tang Ze smiled and waved at the two of them: "Go slowly on your way back."
"I know." Xiaolan said goodbye to the two of them with a smile, and then took Conan back home.
The case was solved, and the ending turned out to be just as she had expected, which made Xiaolan feel much better.
At least, it's not a tragic ending.
"Oh...Is that so?" Maori Kogoro sighed after hearing what Xiaolan said, "This is all her one-man show..."
"I told you she is not alone anymore." Xiaolan glanced at her "straight man" father with displeasure.
"Hey, Sister Xiaolan..."
Conan, holding his head in his hands, looked at Xiaolan who had recovered and said a little embarrassedly: "I think Shinichi brother should be able to come back soon."
"Thank you, Conan-kun." Xiaolan smiled.
"Then he will definitely open the door and say, 'Hey, Xiaolan, I'm back.'" Conan suppressed his inner shyness and spoke with a firm tone, as if to comfort and make a promise in secret.
“I’ll say this when the time comes…”
The smile on Xiaolan's face instantly turned into an angry fierceness, "Hey Shinichi, where the hell have you been fooling around?"
Xiaolan's expression suddenly changed, but she didn't stop moving her hands. She clenched her fist and swung it upwards, making a sound of air breaking. Her tone also became full of anger: "When the time comes, I'll give him a roundhouse kick!"
