Chapter 1491 1499 [This place is reserved by Uzo]
Huiyuan Ai: "..." The description of the original hand always sounds a bit strange...
A scene appeared in her mind of a group of men in black chopping off someone's hands and then reattaching them. A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her back. She quickly patted her head to get rid of the strange scene from her mind.
Sheriff Anna nodded thoughtfully. She was about to say something when she suddenly realized that Inspector Asa had come back at some point. The middle-aged man was leaning against the door, staring at them quietly.
"!" Sheriff Anna remembered what she had just said and hastily changed her words to Jiang Xia, "If I find new clues, I will contact the inspector and you immediately. If I don't find any, forget it."
Inspector Yasa snorted unhappily and ignored this disappointing subordinate.
He looked at the detective and his companions: "Over there in the cafe, you are also witnesses, don't dawdle here, hurry up and catch up!"
…
The cafe is not too far from here.
Not long after, a group of people arrived at the store and the clerk hurriedly came over to greet them.
"The lady in the gothic lolita outfit?" The waiter at the cafe was obviously impressed by this uniquely dressed customer. "Yes, she came here at around one o'clock - and sat in this seat at the time."
As he spoke, the waiter led them to a seat in the corner.
Inspector Yasa nodded and showed her the photo of the deceased: "Take a closer look. Are you sure it's her?"
The clerk hummed, "That should be it. The customer was dressed very fashionably, but in fact she was very introverted and spoke in a low voice. I had to work hard to hear her voice. She didn't even dare to look around, so she didn't find the watch nearby and came to me to ask for the time."
"Then more than ten minutes later—" She gestured to Zhuang Tang Weijia who was mixed in with the police, "this guest also came over."
Inspector Yasa looked at the seat, then at Zhuangtang Weijia: "Has she left since then?"
The clerk thought for a moment and said, "This customer has been sitting at her seat the whole time. She even asked me to help her find a companion in the restroom outside the store. She didn't leave until she received a phone call just now."
Inspector Yasa sighed: "In that case, it seems that the murderer is indeed not Miss Zhuang Tang." From this store to the park toilet, whether you walk through the middle or drive a detour, the round trip will take at least thirty minutes.
“…”
Hearing his conclusion, Conan pushed his glasses up wordlessly, and a cool reflection flashed across the lenses.
He whispered, "That may not be the case."
After saying that, Conan looked at Jiang Xia, intending to exchange a glance, and then smile at each other like two evenly matched opponents - even if it was difficult to get the result faster than Jiang Xia, not being left behind by him in the small stage-by-stage reasoning was also an improvement.
Who knew that when I turned around, I saw Jiang Xia looking down at his phone, distracted.
Conan: “……?”
He leaned over to take a look and saw Jiang Xia sitting in the seat next to him with a small game on the screen of his cell phone.
The game looked quite complicated, and Jiang Xia seemed to be concentrating on thinking.
Conan: “…” Actually playing games at this time?
...Could it be that this guy has already solved the case and confirmed that the murderer can't escape, so he just started playing? ?
Conan looked at the pendulum spinning continuously on his phone and felt like he was being hit on the head by a hammer.
However, as an optimistic high school student, he quickly took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his mindset: ...Look at it brightly, although the speed of solving the case is a little slower, at least he now has the opportunity to solve the mystery slowly!
With more opportunities to practice, your abilities will also improve accordingly.
If he continues like this, sooner or later, he will be reborn and become a new generation of answering machine.
Conan: "..." So the key at the moment is to solve the case with the help of the police.
Thinking of this, Conan trotted over to Jiang Xia who was deep in thought and whispered, "Lend it to me."
Then he leaned over and pretended to have heard something: "Oh, so that's how it is! I understand everything now. Brother Jiang Xia is really amazing!"
Matsuda Jinpei was leaning on Jiang Xia's shoulder, playing with a whiff of murderous aura that smelled of smoke.
Suddenly Conan whispered in its ear, its eyes twitched and it moved to the side silently: "..." Are all high school detectives so dramatic?
But compared to this, the psychic master's acting is at least more natural...
The others did not disappoint Conan's hard work. They were attracted by the movement here and looked over: "What's going on?"
Conan raised his hand and pointed at Zhuangtang Weijia: "Brother Jiang Xia said that this guest is not without suspicion - because the witch sister who was killed is very difficult to recognize! Don't you think so?"
Inspector Yasa frowned and thought for a moment, then failed: "...what a mess."
As a fake child, Huiyuan Ai suddenly understood:
"Indeed, wearing Gothic Lolita clothing usually requires matching makeup - the wearer needs to make the skin pale and apply thick mascara. Compared with the makeup, the face becomes less memorable.
“And I heard from the store clerk that the Gothic Lolita spoke in a very low voice, which might be because she deliberately disguised her voice.
"In other words, the 'Gothic Lolita' we saw in the cafe around one o'clock might not be the deceased. Maybe it was just another person pretending to be her."
Inspector Yasa: "..." I was actually reminded by a child, and his words sounded very reasonable...
He remained calm and nodded: "Yes, first we need to confirm the identity of the guest wearing Gothic Lolita clothes!"
…
The other side.
Jiang Xia's consciousness possessed the puppet, and then he drove Miss Spider's puppet, walking along the street while searching.
Soon, he stopped in front of a clothing store.
The woman in black looked up at the sign and pushed the door open.
She looked at the person who came up to her: "Are you the store manager here?"
“That’s right!”
This is a store that sells "Gothic Lolita" style clothing. The store manager is wearing a black dress and has beautiful makeup around her eyes.
She stared at the customer in front of her, her eyes sparkling - this lady must be very suitable for the style of her store! She could be a ready-made model just by putting on clothes and posing at the door...
Thinking expectantly.
At this moment, the customer suddenly stretched out his hand and placed a filled-in check in front of her.
"What is this...?" The store manager was shocked when he saw the amount on the bill. "Are you going to buy all the items in the store?!"
...She had only seen this kind of private theater scene in TV dramas before, but she didn't expect to encounter it in person now!
However, in response to her question, the woman in black opposite shook her head and said, "Lend me this shop for a few days."
"The store...will lend it to you?" The store manager looked at her blankly, not understanding what she meant.
