Chapter 2673-2685 [Office Romance]
This terrifying scene of the wind blowing in her ears made Hashimoto Maya slowly shed a cold sweat: "..." If this is true, then this seemingly carefree female high school student will do anything to suppress other colleagues and improve her position in Uzo's heart...
Next to him, his other imaginary victim, Conan, was also twitching his eyes because of Suzuki Sonoko's attitude.
Conan: "..." Why do you feel happy in a completely different way than normal people? But...
He snorted in his heart: Don't be so proud. Even if the bug is on you, the other party is definitely not coming for you. It's probably for Hashimoto Maya or Jiang Xia...
"Inspector!" Just as he was thinking, a young police officer ran in with a brown paper bag in his hand. He panted and said, "The film in the deceased's camera has been developed. There are many photos of Miss Suzuki in it."
Conan: “……?”
Suzuki Sonoko: “!”
Soon, the photos were poured out of the paper bag and scattered on the table.
Sure enough, the focus of every photo was Suzuki Sonoko. And this candid photo shoot obviously didn't start after they met tonight - there were many photos taken during the day, and judging from the time and background, they should have been taken on the way home from school a few days ago.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the photos and thought about the dead man's scribbled face. Her excitement subsided a little: "They have been following me for so long... It's really scary to think about it."
"It's really scary, but if that's the case..." The old man suddenly interrupted, "Then this case has nothing to do with me - I'm a man, an old man at that, and I have nothing to do with Peeping Toms, let alone who killed him."
The sturdy man and the thin man were startled, then nodded after they came to their senses. They said to Inspector Megure, "No matter how you look at the current situation, the person being followed got angry and killed the follower. Instead of questioning us, you should investigate these high school students."
"?" Suzuki Sonoko didn't expect to receive such a accusation. She put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Didn't you see the surveillance video just now? I was in the box from beginning to end and didn't leave for a single step. Do you want me to go over there and kill people invisibly?"
"You really never left." The thin man was indeed a senior office worker, good at combining various relationships. He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Hashimoto Maya, "But your companion not only went to the blind spot of the surveillance camera, but also stayed there for a long time - he must have had a crush on you for a long time, and after discovering that there was a stalker, he couldn't stand it, so he killed him."
Hashimoto Maya: “???” Me? Having a crush on this cunning and shameless woman? Listen to yourself and find out what kind of a story you are telling!
Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin: "..." Hmm? Is that so? Looking closely, Mr. Hashimoto still has his charm. But for a high school student, the age difference of nearly ten years seems a bit too big. In comparison, she really still prefers Jiang Xia's version of the hero saving... No, wait! The focus now is not this, but the murder that happened not far away!
Suzuki Sonoko slapped her face with both hands and came back to her senses from the beautiful, romantic and pink bubble-filled scenes.
As a result, she lost her grip on the photo, which hit Conan on the head and then floated to the side.
Conan hissed and quickly picked it up from someone's feet: "..." This is important evidence, how can you just throw it away! Anyway...
"Hmm?" The elementary school detective suddenly realized something. He gathered all the developed photos together and looked through them one by one.
Then he suddenly frowned: Let’s not talk about the photos I took before. Among the photos taken by the stalker today… I couldn’t even take a picture of Hashimoto Maya.
"This guy's vigilance is not much worse than that of a secret agent. He is so concerned about the camera. Does he have a secret identity that cannot be exposed?"
Conan's eyes lit up at first, and he felt that he had found a new direction for investigation, but then he came to his senses and felt that something was wrong:
If you think about it carefully, Hashimoto Maya had been widely reported for the "hero co-pilot" incident a long time ago. If he was really a wanted criminal, he would have been sent to the police station by now...
"Really? Why is he hiding from the camera? What a waste of other people's feelings." Conan's eyes twitched slightly. "However, speaking of the case, why did the stalker want to secretly take pictures of Sonoko? Assuming he is a member of the organization... Could it be that he wants to work with Hashimoto Maya to kidnap Sonoko and get the money from the Suzuki family?"
"It's true that no large organization would complain about having too much money, and it's normal for them to covet the Suzuki family's money. However, Hashimoto Maya has been in contact with us for such a long time, she should be clear about Sonoko's character. There's no need for such a complicated plan to deal with her. A honey trap will be enough.
"That is to say, at present, the possibility that the deceased is a member of the organization is not too high. Perhaps this is just an ordinary murder case that happened by chance?"
…
Conan was thinking silently.
Next to her, Maya Hashimoto was being besieged by three brothers who were trying to shake off suspicion by "running faster than their teammates."
"I'm not, I didn't... I really don't like her! Even if I like her, I won't kill anyone for her!"
"?" Suzuki Sonoko was inexplicably dragged into the battlefield and felt that she was innocent. "If you don't like it, then you don't like it. Why are you shouting so loudly!"
For a moment, there was a chaos and Hashimoto Maya experienced what it meant to be unable to defend herself.
Just when his head was getting bigger and bigger and he wished he could use a bomb to kill himself and the people around him, suddenly, a figure flashed past his peripheral vision.
"?!" Maya Hashimoto seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, "Mr. Jiang Xia!" - Stop slacking off, catch the murderer quickly, I know you can find him!
Jiang Xia stood next to the chaotic crowd, pacing back and forth, as if he wanted to stop the fight but couldn't find a way in.
Hashimoto Maya watched him walk from the left to the right, and then from the right to the left, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He sank into his dantian and roared loudly, "Shut up! Let Jiang Xia speak first!"
Inspector Megure came back to his senses: "Yes, yes, yes. Brother Jiang Xia, what do you think?"
Seeing that the police officer had spoken, the others hesitated for a moment, finally stopped arguing, and looked at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia took advantage of the chaos to grab a lot of iced black tea, and was about to grab more: "..."
Tsk, why don't you quarrel? It's still early, why don't you quarrel a little more?
He looked at the three suspects expectantly, but the three men were also looking at him, waiting obediently for him to speak, and it seemed that they had no intention of restarting the war.
