Rest 17
"Did you hear any strange noises?" Fang Fang Sousuke slowed down his speech and tried to look the girl straight in the eye. "Sayaka?"
"I..." The girl calmed herself down, but was interrupted before she could open her mouth.
"She didn't hear it." Sayaka's mother said.
"She heard it wrong," said Sayaka's grandmother.
"..." Sosuke Fubuki had already anticipated what was to come. The owner of the house, Masao Komatsu, was considering whether to hire a detective to investigate the frequent supernatural events in his house. As a prior preparation, he specially invited Sosuke Fubuki to come to his house to take a look and ask his second daughter, who had reported strange things happening in the house many times, whether it was necessary to hire a detective.
But Fang Shusuke already felt that this would definitely be a failure.
Chie Komatsu, the grandmother, nudged her granddaughter and said in a reproachful tone, "You've watched too many cartoons and imagined the TV and the music to be strange noises."
"I didn't!" Sayaka screamed back, "I just found that my doll often looked like it had been moved, and there were footsteps in the middle of the night. I took the doll and asked Xun if she had come in..."
"What did Xun say?"
"She said no, but the sun doesn't come into my room..."
"Yes, she actually didn't hear it. This child is often startled..."
"I don't!"
"I also don't think it's necessary to call a detective. It's just a prank by a child. Zhengnan is busy enough at work. Men only need to worry about their work..."
"Yes, she is a liar and a fool. Sorry, she will do some weird things to get attention when she has time..."
"I won't lie! I've told you many times... Taiyang and Xun also found out, but they didn't tell you because you were like this!"
"Here we go again... Really, Sayaka, it's fine if you lied, but you also want to drag Taiyang and Xun into this? Mom is really busy and doesn't have time to play this kind of game with you..."
"Really? As a mother, can't you pay more attention to your child? If Taiyang looks like Zhengnan, we don't need to worry too much. He is very sensible. Xun is also very obedient. But Sayaka..."
"I'm not lying, I really heard it!"
"Why don't you all believe me?!"
"Taiyang and Xun also found out..."
......
"I didn't hear anything." Sayaka sat on the sofa, and her father, Komatsu Masao, sat on the other side. The girl looked indifferent and numb. "I didn't hear anything."
"...Sayaka," Fubuki Sousuke hesitated for a moment before speaking first. He still remembered asking about Sayaka in front of Chie Komatsu and Miyoko Komatsu. No matter how many times he asked the parents to be quiet, the two women kept nagging at him until Sayaka slammed the door and left. "This is an important clue about your mother's murder. Can you recall it carefully..."
He glanced unobtrusively at Masao Komatsu who was standing quietly like a decoration. The atmosphere between the father and daughter was too polite to be like a family. It was obvious at a glance that Masao Komatsu was a man who was no different from a transparent person when there was a conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Um...Sayaka-sister," Edogawa Conan cleared his throat, trying to use his appearance to make Komatsu Sayaka relax. After all, the latter had her arms crossed in front of her chest. In psychology, this is a manifestation of defense and self-protection. "It's okay, just talk slowly, you see," he showed a cute smile, "I'm younger than you, but as long as what I say makes sense, the inspectors will listen!"
"Yes, yes," Hattori Heiji nodded vigorously, trying to put on a friendly look to gain the little girl's trust, "You see, it's very popular now for high school detectives to assist the police in solving cases," Fang Shusuke stared dimly. He remembered that it was not limited to high school students. It seemed that Kudo Shinichi could solve cases before he could speak. In a place like Japan that values seniority so much, these young detectives can come and go so freely, which is limited to the plot of comics. "So, just say whatever you can say. It doesn't matter if you speculate. Don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing..."
"That's right," Toyama Kazuha supported her childhood sweetheart, "A lot of things happened at home," she tried to show kindness to the girl, and her gentle tone softened Sayaka's cold expression a little, "I know it's hard now, but the police chief and the detective brother need Sayaka's help to solve the case-"
"Right." Seeing that the girl's attitude was no longer as resistant as before, Hattori Heiji took advantage of the opportunity to say a few more words, "It's okay, it's not a scary thing. If you feel scared, just--"
"Wait, Hattori--" Sosuke Fubuki, who had been feeling somewhat relieved, sat up straight in fear when he heard the familiar words, but it was too late for the organization to speak.
"——Think more about your mother and grandmother. They will miss you too..."
Oh huh. Looking at Sayaka who had a blank expression on her face for a moment, Sosuke Fubuki silently opened the water plant chat group. He really wanted to find someone to talk to, even if that person was "himself".
——Water Plant Chat Group (Exclude Dissidents Version)——
【FIJI WATER】...

[Fiji Water]...Neither
