Chapter 829 This Girlfriend Seems Okay
"Mr. Nakamura?" Mao Lilan was stunned and felt that it was unlikely. After all, it seemed that Yusuke Nakamura had no chance to enter the lounge at the time of the incident - he did not borrow the key to the lounge at that time.
But on second thought, since it was Jiang Xia who said that...
Ran Mouri quickly accepted the statement that "the murderer was Yusuke Nakamura" and was slightly shocked.
But the next second, another question popped up in her mind:
...Why did Jiang Xia secretly tell the truth to this lady named "Takenoka"?
It is understandable that he did not tell the police - maybe Jiang Xia had caught some suspicious points, but had no solid evidence - judging from past experience, Jiang Xia would not point out the murderer before having a complete enough chain of evidence.
But now, he broke the principle and told Miss Takenaka in advance...
Mao Lilan touched her chin with her slender fingers, vaguely smelling the scent of gossip:
Could it be that Miss Takenaka is a very special person to Jiang Xia?
...Jiang Xia is in love?!
Mao Lilan: "..." Well... Although Miss Takenaka's dress is indeed a bit strange, but for some reason, I always feel that she is a friendly and good person, just a little bit fond of drinking and likes to persuade others to drink.
A series of pink speculations flashed through Mao Lilan's mind.
But soon, she became confused again: looking at Jiang Xia's attitude, she felt that the truth was different from what she had just guessed. Jiang Xia didn't seem to be very close to this Miss Takenaka...
Mao Lilan was as curious as a cat scratching something. She wanted to find out more but was a little shy.
He tried to hold it in, but couldn't help it. Finally, he had to get closer to Vermouth, and quietly probed like a mosquito, and said vaguely: "Hey, Jiang Xia...why did he say that?"
Vermouth looked at her with a hint of doubt. She felt that Angel's reaction was different from what she had imagined. The question she asked was actually so serious...
She was silent for a moment, suspecting that there might be a generation gap between them, so she had to follow Mao Lilan's question and answer seriously: "Because..."
Belmode's tone paused slightly.
...Angel asked Usa why he said Nakamura Yusuke was the murderer?
But Wu Zo never said that this was something she observed on her own - because Wu Zo had been watching Yusuke Nakamura, and with his intentional or unintentional "spoilers", Vermouth also saw a lot of hard evidence with her own eyes.
...However, these words cannot be said to Angel.
Otherwise, she would be frightened. And then, of course, she would get a Uzo with full hostility.
After all, judging from Wuzo's usual appearance, he seems to prefer the police and Angel to appreciate his righteous and sunny side. Hiss, Wuzo, who has such a bad and death-like temperament, can actually disguise himself as an almost perfect good detective. It's really hard for him. The friendship between children is really magical...
Vermouth shook her head, shaking out the messy thoughts from her mind.
Then he made up a reason to identify the murderer.
She poked her face lightly with her fingers and made up a half-truth: "Because the other three people were emotionally entangled with the deceased, it was a mess. But Nakamura Yusuke had nothing to do with them - according to our experience, at times like this, the more innocent the people, the more suspicious they are."
Mao Lilan: “……I see.” What a serious answer.
Why are there no romantic pink bubbles as I imagined?
Could it be that the relationship between Jiang Xia and Miss Takenaka was not the romantic relationship she had just imagined, but...
Detective and assistant?
Mao Lilan: "..." Speaking of which, some famous detectives do like to have a few assistants with them, so that they can work more efficiently.
...In fact, if she wasn't too busy with classes, she would have liked to be Jiang Xia's assistant and ask Sonoko to join her - there are more and more cases now, and every time Jiang Xia solves a case, the joy he feels for helping the deceased is heartfelt and very contagious...Gradually, Mao Lilan always felt that solving a case seemed to be a great thing.
When Mao Lilan's attention was drifting rapidly into the distance and she even began to vaguely plan her future career.
Beside him, Conan, who was eavesdropping silently, was silent for a moment: "..."
...People who look innocent are the most suspicious? What a messed up logic.
It would have been fine if Xiaolan was distracted, but he saw it clearly just now - after the incident, Jiang Xia didn't speak to the suspicious Miss Takenaka at all.
Ms. Takenaka probably said that because she has seen some cases where murderers deliberately created "alibi", so she has a feeling that "alibi that is too coincidental is often problematic", and then she randomly extended it to "innocent people have problems".
Speaking of which, Conan suddenly wondered, where did Takenaka run out from just now?
"……"When Jiang Xia, Xiaolan and he came down, Miss Takenaka was still unknown where she was, but later she seemed to appear silently.
So, she was actually absent for a while...
Conan has a list in his mind, recording the degree of suspicion of each person.
Among them, "Miss Takenaka" suddenly soared to the top of the list.
…
Inside the room, the three members of the band were still making a lot of noise.
Yusuke Nakamura was trying hard to mediate the fight.
Conan listened for a while but didn't hear any more useful information.
Finally, he shook his head helplessly, slipped silently into the corridor, and prepared to check some things he cared about.
…
Conan walked along the corridor towards the elevator.
As I turned the corner, I suddenly saw a person standing next to the elevator.
——Jiang Xia didn’t know when he arrived here. He had even pressed the call button and was waiting for the elevator to go down to the basement floor.
Conan was startled: "Why are you..."
Halfway through his words, he shut his mouth silently.
——With Jiang Xia's usual sharpness, he must have discovered the inconsistencies that I discovered...
Elevator entrance.
Jiang Xia heard his voice and turned around to look. He didn't seem surprised that Conan was here.
The elevator arrived, Jiang Xia went in and helped press the door button, then nodded to Conan: "Let's go."
…
As the two people walked into the elevator.
At the corner, Vermouth, who was curious about following them, shrank back into the shadows silently like a cat.
She thought back to what she had just seen, and her mood, which had been gloomy all night, improved slightly.
——When Uzo tries to play the role of a detective seriously, he really looks like a skilled detective.
In this way, the cool guy's irrepressible desire for reasoning can be well concealed.
——Anyone who has seen the crime scene and noticed Conan’s appearance that was different from that of a child would immediately think that this was because “a smart and precocious child was following the example of a high school detective” rather than “this must be a fake child.”
Moreover, just now, although Wu Zo had not discussed with cool guy, he seemed to have calculated his action pattern and waited on the road ahead in advance - to outsiders who were unaware of the situation, it was as if cool guy was being guided by Wu Zo to move.
