Chapter 2418 2430 [Aftereffects]
When two high school detectives were busy solving a case.
On the other side, Kidd put on a baseball cap and quietly left the crowd while the scene was still in chaos, intending to leave the building.
In the high-end and luxurious lookout restaurant, Mao Lilan rested her chin on one hand and ate the dessert in front of her boredly.
Suddenly, her eyes moved and fell on the window that looked like a mirror against the night sky: "..." Just now... it seemed like a familiar person walked by?
"That guy clearly passed by the restaurant, why didn't he come in?" Mao Lilan turned around and looked outside the door, confused, "And I always feel like something is wrong... Oh, his clothes seem to have changed! And his steps are hurried, as if he is avoiding something. Could it be... Could it be that he encountered some brutal criminals?!"
Thinking of this, Mao Lilan could no longer stand by and watch. She put down her silver fork, stood up, explained the situation to the waiter, and quickly ran out the door, intending to save her childhood friend who was mediocre in terms of fighting skills.
But when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped.
"Which direction did he go just now, and where is he now?" Mao Lilan looked at the circular corridor of the lookout restaurant, a little confused.
"According to that guy's personality, if he is really in danger, he will definitely not reveal his location even if I send a message to ask." Mao Lilan took out her phone and put it back. After hesitating for a moment, she chased in one direction, "Trust your intuition! I guess it's this way..."
…
The crime scene.
"My father has a strong sense of time, so everyone in the company is very punctual no matter what they do. The commemorative reception must start at 8:30."
Tatsumi Sakurako was questioned and became a little anxious. She explained to Jiang Xia: "Although I didn't wear a watch, Mr. Ohba did - I saw it from his wrist. At that time, he just raised his hand to touch my earrings. I have a deep impression and I will definitely not remember it wrong!"
Kudo Shinichi's ears twitched, sensing something was fishy: "Touch your earring?"
"...Yes, that's right." Tatsumi Sakurako belatedly remembered that she and Minister Obara were in a secret relationship, and the action of touching the earring was a bit ambiguous.
But now that things have come to this, she no longer has the energy to hide it, so she touched the pink pearl on her earlobe and said shyly: "In fact, we have been together for a long time. Mr. Ohba just gave me a pearl necklace and said it would be a perfect match with my earrings. But who knew..."
Who knew that luck seemed to be conserved, and happiness was actually accompanied by pain. Although she got love, her father was murdered by a gunman that night.
Thinking of this, Tatsumi Sakurako was overcome with grief. She covered her face and burst into tears again.
Inspector Megure's temples ached from the incessant crying. He quickly said to the relevant personnel, "Go to the lounge and take a rest first, and take a statement while you're at it."
The last few employees who saw the president didn't want to stay at the scene any longer, so they nodded hurriedly and left.
Kudo Shinichi stared at their backs with sharp eyes, turned his head and whispered to Jiang Xia: "I always feel that her description just now is not right."
Jiang Xia glanced at the sneaky classmate with complicated eyes: "..." You have changed. In the past, you would only loudly question a few suspects, and then ruthlessly squeeze out their murderous intent.
He sighed and had to speak for himself, saying to Tatsumi Sakurako: "Are you sure you saw Mr. Ohba's watch dial at that time?"
Tatsumi Sakura looked back in surprise: "Of course, what's there to lie about?"
Beside him, Ohba Satoru seemed to understand. He laughed and said, "You think that since there was no light in this corridor just now and it was dim, she shouldn't be able to see the watch on my hand? Then you are worrying too much - I often work overtime, so I specially chose a watch with luminous paint on the dial. The darker the light around, the clearer I can see it."
Kudo Shinichi hid behind Jiang Xia and muttered, "You've really thought it through. It's as if you deliberately dimmed the lights to achieve some purpose."
"Haha, kid, don't spit blood at me." Ohba Satoru was very sharp-eyed and could hear his voice. He turned around and deliberately looked down at the immature high school student in front of him with an adult's eyes. "It was the president's own idea to dim the lights in this corridor. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the staff in charge of the venue. This was the request the president made to them in person this afternoon."
Kudo Shinichi's eyes jumped: "There's something wrong, not just that I can't see the dial clearly in the dark-"
He strode forward and stopped in front of Tatsumi Sakurako. He raised his left hand with a watch on it and touched the right earring of the president's daughter. "I'm a little curious, how did you see the dial of his watch in this position?"
Tatsumi Sakurako lowered her head and was slightly stunned to find that she really couldn't see her watch.
"Of course you can't see it like this." Ohba Satoru walked over with a smile, grabbed Kudo Shinichi's hand, and put it on Tatsumi Sakurako's left ear, "We were in this position at the time, look, can't we see it now?"
"Indeed." Kudo Shinichi looked at this seemingly honest member, "But in a face-to-face position, you touched her left ear with your left hand, don't you feel awkward?"
"Because Sakurako's side bangs completely cover her right ear, leaving only her left ear exposed." Ohba Satoru hugged his girlfriend, "How could I ruin her carefully prepared hairstyle?"
"Mr. Ohba..." Tatsumi Sakurako was touched and leaned on his shoulder. The two of them immediately looked at each other stickyly, and it seemed that pink bubbles full of love were rising from their bodies.
Jiang Xia felt that what they were saying was not right, so he politely interrupted them: "Since you can only touch her left ear, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to touch it with your right hand?"
He looked at Minister Ohba, whose expression changed slightly, and asked, "Or was it that your right hand was busy with other things and couldn't be used?"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a tacit cooperation voice from the side. Kudo Shinichi showed an innocent smile and pinched his throat to sing in unison: "It must be that this big brother's right hand is busy, so he can't... uh, cough! I mean, maybe this uncle is holding something in his right hand that can't be seen by others, so he can only touch his girlfriend's earrings with his left hand!"
Inspector Megure: "..." What happened? It seems like there was some strange movement just now that passed by my ears?
Jiang Xia touched the goose bumps on his arm: "..."
Haibara Ai retracted her kick: "..." It's really scary for a high school student to pretend to be a child... She has to hide the antidote better next time. She doesn't want to face this terrible mental pollution again.
