In the narrow compartment, the body was lying on its side on the ground. Himeno Yayoi's back was leaning against the door, her legs were against the side wall, and her whole body was bent at a ninety-degree angle.
There were many items scattered on the ground, and there were blood spots or blood lines everywhere, which may have been thrown out when the knife was drawn. The ground in the compartment was not smooth, and the floor drain under the body spread to the inside, making it almost impossible to step down.
The place.
Shiraishi looked at the debris on the floor and couldn't find the necklace pendant that sealed the memory card.
It lowered its head and looked at the body again. After observing carefully for a moment, Shiraishi found something vaguely reflecting light in Himeno Yayoi's collar.
Squinting its eyes slightly, it quickly saw that they were several strange-shaped necklace pendants. The outermost one looked familiar. It seemed to have been seen on Hamano Toshiya's neck before.
This unexpected discovery, coupled with the fact that he had never received a rescue mission, made Shiraishi even more convinced that the person in the cubicle was the Black Widow they were looking for.
Although the bonus is not as large as other tasks, how can you not be tempted by such money that you can pick up as soon as you stretch out your hand...
There was a fresh blood stain on the door edge. Bai Shi carefully avoided it, passed through the gap between the door edge and the ceiling, and jumped into the compartment.
The humanoid form would make it easier to move around, but the compartments are very narrow and the blood is splattered, making it easy to accidentally step on bloody footprints.
There are surveillance cameras at the front and back doors of this store. After Himeno Yayoi arrived at the store, Shiraishi never went to the bathroom. He deliberately turned into a cat first and then came out from the back door, which was regarded as an alibi.
If he accidentally steps on blood and leaves footprints at this time, and the mask state cannot change shoes, his suspicion will rise to the top in an instant, which means that all the trouble he just made is in vain.
So after struggling for a while, Shiraishi maintained the status quo. It was nothing if the cat accidentally stepped on a few footprints. It couldn't hold the knife, and it couldn't be a robber who broke into the house. There was no suspicion. At most, it would make Conan think too much.
The pool of blood was not small for a cat. Shiraishi endured the strange touch under his feet and walked closer. He first wiped the blood on Himeno Yayoi's paw pads, then pulled out her necklace and found the one where the memory card was sealed.
Hold it in your mouth, and then cut off the necklace cord.
The other necklaces and pendants clinked to the ground together with the threads, stained with blood. Shiraishi took a pityful look, then took the pendants that could be exchanged for bonuses, climbed over the door again, and left the bathroom through the window.
There is a lawn outside the store.
Shiraishi stepped on it in a circle. When he got around to the back door, he looked back and saw that it no longer had the effect of one step at a time.
He slipped back in through the back door, closed it, and transformed into a human in the hallway.
As soon as he picked up his glasses, he suddenly felt something flowing between his fingers, and it was itchy. Shiraishi turned his hands over in confusion and saw that there was a long line of blood accumulated in the gaps of his gloves, and it flowed down as his fingers bent.
"..." That's right, it doesn't seem to have an automatic cleaning function when it changes form!
I didn't expect that after wiping it with grass, there would be so much left. I should have found a place to clean it carefully before turning back into a human again.
Now that my hands are in this condition, the soles of my shoes...
Shiraishi felt guilty and quickly returned to his unsuspecting cat shape. He looked down and found that the condition of the ground was better than he had just thought. Judging from the condition of his hands, the soles only had blood embedded in the patterns, and there was no stain on the ground.
to too much.
This shop is not far from the cafe, and there is a buff extender called Toru Amuro. Shiraishi didn't bring the Poke Ball here.
Before the body is discovered, first release the mask state, return to the hotel with the Poké Ball, run in again, and deal with the less obvious blood on the ground. It should still be too late...
Shiraishi moved his brown glasses to a further corner and was about to put the necklace and pendant nearby and hide it when a shadow suddenly fell behind him.
A person sneaked up from behind quietly. Toru Amuro made a surprise attack from behind. He pressed the back of its neck and picked it up. He half asked and half said to himself: "What are you eating?"
He put down the tray in his hand - it was a prop used by Shiraishi to bake cupcakes. Just now, some "artwork" slipped along the paper shell and onto the baking tray, as if it was welded on and couldn't be washed away.
Toru Amuro could only throw it away secretly to eliminate the incriminating evidence, and planned to buy a new one in the afternoon to replace it.
When he entered the employee passage with the tray just now, he heard a very subtle sliding sound.
Having worked in restaurants a lot, this kind of situation is common. Toru Amuro thought it was some kind of cockroach warrior that slipped through the net. Unexpectedly, Xun Sheng came over and saw a cat.
Moreover, the cat was biting something in its mouth. When it was held down just now, it made a clicking sound. It should be some kind of hard object.
In the back kitchen corridor, there is a hard object big enough for a cat to swallow. Could it be...
Small cockroach bait?
The back of the cat shape created by the Q-version assistant was not a weak point. Shiraishi originally wanted to give the man behind him an injection of anesthesia when he wasn't paying attention, but after seeing the color of the sneaking hand clearly, he hesitated for a moment and stopped.
.
...I just need a helper to deal with the nearby blood stains. Although the kitchen is further away from the bathroom and is not easy to be found, it is still necessary to leave as few handles as possible.
Just as he was thinking about it, he caught a glimpse of Toru Amuro reaching out. Shiraishi let go before he could take action. The necklace pendant fell to the ground, bounced a few times, and rolled to the side without moving.
Toru Amuro glanced down and was stunned for a moment by the familiar style.
He knelt down and picked up the pendant. Almost at the same time, he saw a pair of glasses lying next to the pendant.
…Isn’t this Matsuda’s?
Picking it up and looking at it carefully, Toru Amuro saw blood on the temples of his glasses.
He stiffly turned his head and looked at the necklace pendant. After a moment of recovery, several gigabytes of guessing theater flashed through his mind.
The fact that the necklace is here means that Black Widow is probably already in the store.
I actually didn't notice it at all.
The surveillance camera captured the Black Widow in the early hours of the morning, and the woman deliberately hid from the surveillance camera. When she was revealed, her face was camouflaged, and her figure was still a very common and ordinary figure.
Originally, Toru Amuro planned to pay close attention to all the couples in the store who were not in the right relationship and investigate them. Unexpectedly, Matsuda found the person directly after only half a day here.
Although he was confused as to why Matsuda didn't tell him about this, Toru Amuro thought about it and felt that he understood.
I had been away for a while just now - I was trying to shovel the unknown objects off the tray in the utility room. Maybe Matsuda couldn't find him, and I saw something strange about the Black Widow, so I did it myself.
They didn't know much about the Black Widow. They could only speculate from her usual way of killing that she was a woman with little strength, so she had no choice but to use insidious means to kill people.
But this is just speculation.
...The worst result is that Matsuda has been killed. During the fierce fight between the two, the Black Widow's necklace was broken. The necklace attracted the cat's attention for some reason, and was taken away by the cat, and was accidentally taken away by herself.
Discover.
But when I thought about it more carefully, I felt something was wrong - there were some weird bombs hidden all over Matsuda's body, and his reaction speed was not slow. Even if Black Widow was a master of concealment, Matsuda would not have died so quietly and harmlessly.
.
There was not much blood on the ground and glasses, and if a person as big as Matsuda was really dead, his body would have been discovered long ago, so the situation should be...
"Dead, dead——!!" A heartbreaking scream suddenly came from in front of the store.
Through a door and a corridor, Toru Amuro could hear the rapid commotion in the store.
