Sonoko told what happened just now. Kuroki Jin rubbed the back of his head that hurt from the fall, and did not forget to go to the window and take a look below.
"He must have run away a long time ago." Masahiko Michowaki said.
Kuroki turned around and saw the mud on his trousers.
"Didn't Mr. Michowaki drive here?" Kuroki Jin asked, then shook his head. He still felt pain in the back of his head.
"The car broke down halfway, and I ran here." Masahiko Michowaki explained, which can also explain why he is still out of breath.
"That's it." Kuroki Ren didn't go into details, but followed the dark-skinned guy to pick up the things scattered on the ground.
After packing, the young man took their luggage and said that he wanted to change their room. After all, this room had been invaded and they would inevitably feel unsafe if they stayed in it.
Although his face is a bit dark, his heart is still quite kind.
Seeing Xiaolan comforting the garden, Kuroki Ren glanced at the closed window and frowned secretly.
He thought that even an underwear thief would know which room a girl lived in. Wouldn't he run into someone if he just broke in? Or did the intruder know which room Sonoko lived in?
Kuroki Jin's first suspicion was the innkeeper or the dark-skinned guy in front of him. As the innkeeper, they did know which room everyone lived in, and it was not impossible to sell information to outsiders.
Well, I just had the explanation from the guy upstairs. He must have been watching Yuanzi go back to his room, and he was a little worried that the thief would come at this time, so he wanted to go up there to protect himself.
Kuroki Jin made a mark for this dark-skinned guy who didn't take advantage of him and caused the back of his head to still hurt.
It was still raining outside, Michowaki Masahiko's car also broke down, and Sonoko was not in the mood after being attacked, so the few of them simply ate something in the hotel with the dark-skinned guy's intentional compensation.
Suzuki Sonoko is indeed very big-hearted. After seeing that she was in no danger, she started to smile playfully again, and even took out the photos she had taken to tease Xiaolan.
Kuroki Ren's chopsticks paused for a moment, attracting the attention of Conan next to him. Before Conan could ask anything, Kuroki Ren's palm touched his dog's head, and Conan understood and shut up.
Kuroki Jin just felt the familiar killing intent. He glanced at his tablemate, Masahiko Michowaki, and then at the dark-skinned guy who had just served the food and had not had time to leave.
Until Suzuki Sonoko revealed that the clothes thief wanted to kill her with a knife.
Only then did Kuroki Jin's eyes focus on a bunch of boring photos of lovers making out that Suzuki Sonoko had taken yesterday. Although he intuitively felt that these photos would be nothing, he still took a look at them.
He got it from Masahiko Michowaki. After getting it, Conan looked at him with big eyes, so the two of them got together to look at the photos without eating.
Edogawa Conan was really looking at the photos. Although his perception was not as sensitive as Kuroki's, his detective intuition allowed him to analyze something similar to Kuroki's:
The prisoner was not just a clothes thief who came in by mistake, but came with a purpose. This purpose is probably this pile of photos.
Kuroki Jin was observing the people around him to see if anyone was looking at the thing in his hand warily. But to his regret, there were no unpleasant looks, and the surroundings were quiet and peaceful.
After looking at the photos, Kuroki Jin just learned various postures from the photos. Thinking about himself who has been single for twenty years, he couldn't help but feel sad.
This resulted in Kuroki Jin still looking taciturn when everyone went back to the room after dinner, not at all like him normally.
"Mr. Kuroki, what's going on?" Yuanzi asked Xiaolan softly, but his voice could not be lowered in this empty corridor.
"I'm just thinking about something." Kuroki Ren returned a familiar smile, and went to check their new room first, then locked the windows completely before exiting.
"Good night then." He said.
Edogawa Conan was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, but Kuroki Jin kept pressing his cell phone after washing up. He approached out of curiosity, but Kuroki pushed him away, with a look of refusal.
But Conan's curiosity has been aroused, so how could he be pushed back by Kuroki with a simple push?
So he started acting coquettishly.
Kuroki Ren: "..."
Kuroki Jin still showed him his cell phone. On the cell phone were photos of the crime scene that he had secretly taken at noon today. The woman was lying on the ground with a pool of blood on her abdomen, her face was horrified, and there were traces of saliva left on the corners of her mouth.
Edogawa Conan's attention was not immediately focused on the photos on his phone, but on the small pendant that was dangling as the phone moved.
"Brother Ren..."
"If you don't look at it, give it back to me." Kuroki Ren's face was expressionless.
"Look." Edogawa Conan gave up gossip and chose the case.
"Just now, Ms. Sonoko said that the clothes thief covered her mouth with one hand, pinned her down with his legs, and then raised the knife..." Kuroki Jin followed suit and pointed to the photo on his phone. p>
"Isn't it similar?"
Indeed. Conan thought that if Sonoko had been killed just now, her posture might be highly similar to that of the deceased.
Was it committed by the same murderer? Was Sonoko’s same brown hair the target of the murderer? No, that’s not right...
"If it's the same murderer, I've never heard of him stealing anything before killing someone." Kuroki Jin followed Conan's thinking, "And if you think about this posture, do you think it's a young couple on the ground?
Make out...cough."
Only then did Kuroki Jin remember that the person discussing this matter with him was a primary school student.
"It's getting late, let's go to bed." He put the phone back, pressed Conan to wash up, and only turned the phone back when he saw him walking to the bathroom.
What he just looked at was actually another picture, a picture that he had ignored before.
It was a photo taken by the police after sorting out the belongings of the victim. Among the pile of scattered cosmetics in the handbag, there was an item that Kuroki had overlooked before.
A black USB flash drive looked exactly like the one he had stolen from the police station before.
Kuroki Ren stared at the USB flash drive, and then remembered that he had checked the other USB flash drive without success and then threw the thing aside.
Although the USB flash drive is a popular style, the two times I saw it in a short period of time were both related to the case, and it is difficult not to think about it.
So Kuroki Jin subconsciously checked the records of the previous case, which was the case where he got the last USB flash drive.
When he found the relevant figures of the case from his private collection, he fell into thinking.
The person in the photo is wearing ordinary work clothes and has an ordinary face. Because it was a work ID photo taken from somewhere, his expression is extremely serious.
Kuroki Jin has seen this face. To be precise, he has seen a portrait similar to this face - the portrait made by Jiangcheng Dahe for him.
The person who was accosted before Miyano Akemi died on her mission and was waiting for her sister to arrive in "Wind Smooth".
He vaguely remembered that this man worked at a gas station, and on the day his home was stolen, the gas station also caught fire.
Kuroki Jin feels it is necessary to investigate from here.
