Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but clenched his fists: This feeling of having his life depended on someone else's thoughts was really frustrating.
But no matter what, as of now, we can only take one step at a time.
And speaking of the current case...
Conan's eyes swept around the store, and finally landed on the corridor leading to the rear warehouse and bedrooms.
Conan: "..." I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that besides the store manager, there was another person in this store.
This thought flashed across his mind, and his breathing became heavy, and his heart beat violently:...could it be that the woman in black's accomplice, the "sir" she called him, was hidden behind the store?!
…
After all, the presence of children is not high, and the strange behavior of Conan and Haibara Ai did not attract too many people's attention.
After Inspector Asa entered the store, he was stunned for a moment by the strange clothes around him, then he remembered the business and looked at the store manager.
His eyes fell on the woman in the black dress, and his eyes lit up: It was also a gothic lolita outfit, but when worn by the young lady in front of him, it was not as scary as the one worn by the deceased. Of course, it could also be the ferocious expression of the deceased.
It also gave him a bad impression of this kind of clothes.
"It seems that these trends are not so useless." He nodded secretly and walked over.
The little police officer heard this and glanced at the store manager: "..." The store manager's outfit doesn't seem to be a Gothic lolita outfit, but the color is somewhat similar... But anyway, it does look good on her, no wonder
The police inspector, a stubborn person, actually changed his mind a little bit.
While muttering to himself, the young police officer followed the procedure and asked the store manager.
"Excuse me, have you seen this person?" He stopped in front of the store manager, took out the photo of the deceased from the folder, and was about to hand it over.
But the moment he stretched out his hand, the police officer caught a glimpse of the scene in the photo and stopped.
... Wouldn't it be bad if such bloody and ghastly photos frightened innocent citizens?
Just as he was a little confused, Inspector Asa took the photo away:
"Huh, young man is just unreliable."
He took the photo and turned to look at the store manager: "Well, there was a murder nearby. According to our investigation, the deceased may have bought clothes from you before he died. Are you willing to help us identify it?——
The photo may make people feel uncomfortable. If it is really unacceptable, you can also look at the ID photo first."
Conan's eyes twitched when he heard this sentence: "..." Is it uncomfortable? Hehe, the naive policeman who judges people by their appearance has no idea how many corpses the woman in black has seen. She might even have strangled the people in this photo.
dead!
Sure enough, the store manager lowered his eyes and glanced at the photo, without showing much resistance.
She said very sensibly: "It doesn't matter, solving the case is more important."
Then he took the initiative to take the photo from the police officer.
Inspector Asa immediately took a liking to her - she was really a virtuous and good citizen, very different from that annoying little detective.
…
The woman in black looked down at the photo in her hand, thought for a moment, and seemed to remember something: "She looks familiar, she seems to be a regular visitor to our place - her last name is 'Kise', right?"
Seeing Inspector Asa nodded, the woman in black continued: "Last night, this lady came to my store."
Conan suddenly turned to look at her, and then quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.
But I was already sure in my heart - the members of this organization were lying!
Conan: "..." She was clearly at the Tokyo airport yesterday afternoon, how could she come to this store to sell clothes!
In a murder case, the witness who lies often holds important truth.
Conan instinctively wanted to remind this loudly as before.
However, after opening his mouth, he finally swallowed the words silently.
...No, you can't be impulsive.
Xiaolan and the others are still in the store. In addition, there are many innocent police officers. According to the organization's madness in "secrecy", if they reveal the situation themselves, they will ruin the plan of the people in black. And in order to eliminate the witnesses, they
Or, if a bomb sends everyone in the room to the sky, things will be in trouble, just like Gin wanted to blow up the Shinkansen.
Conan: "..." By the way, why not look for bombs first?
If there really was that kind of thing in this clothing store, then I would have to ask a few of my companions to leave the room first.
With this thought in mind, Conan tried his best to use others to cover himself, and then quietly moved to the corridor behind him while the woman in black didn't notice him.
…
at the same time.
A "brutal Asian man" being sought by countless police officers was hiding in a bedroom behind the store.
Okiya Subaru paced back and forth in the bedroom, occasionally looking at the window and occasionally at the door.
At this time, the tips of his ears twitched, and he suddenly felt some movement coming from the door of the store along the corridor.
——There seemed to be a group of people outside, talking to the shop owner.
After all, there was a certain distance between the two sides. Subaru Okiya pressed hard against the door to eavesdrop, but he couldn't hear clearly at all. After a while, he had to carefully hide deep in the room, feeling a little anxious.
Okiya Subaru: "..." Those policemen, probably in the name of shelter, took away Miss Misa who helped him.
But the problem is not big - this room has a window. If the police really find him, he will break the window and escape first, and then say that he sneaked in without authorization, so he will not be able to harm the enthusiastic passerby.
The only thing we need to worry about is that Uzo is involved in this matter.
Okiya Subaru: "..." But on the other hand, if Usa really got involved, then he should have died miserably with endless despair. In short, he would not be able to live so comfortably.
After thinking about it, he picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, then carefully wiped off the traces on it.
...Well, there is no poison in the tea.
The possibility of Uzo is even slimmer.
Okiya Subaru put down his tea cup and sat down while paying attention to the movement outside.
After relaxing a little, his mind started to work again. He touched his chin and was extremely concerned about the situation outside - if Uzo hadn't intervened, he might have been able to resist a little and survive successfully on the other side.
If you want to escape from the police pursuit, the first step is to figure out why the police are chasing you, so that you can come up with appropriate countermeasures and know what to do next.
Okiya Subaru: "..." Speaking of this, stores usually have surveillance cameras. Even if they don't open them, they will at least pretend to be a bluff.
Thinking this, he turned his head and his eyes fell on the computer in the room.
…
Outside the bedroom, in the Gothic Loli clothing store.
Inspector Asa knew nothing about the two vigilant men, and he was quite pleasantly surprised at this time - there were indeed new clues about the case in this clothing store.
