Conan also heard the scream in the toilet, and he knew that the person who screamed was the pretty boy.
——In the cake shop where Mao Lilan went, the cash register suddenly broke down and she couldn't come back for the time being.
While waiting for someone, Conan heard the pretty boy answer a phone call.
The young boy talked nonsense into the receiver, saying that the girl he was dating was easy to cheat, and also made dangerous remarks such as "She will definitely be devoted to me after [beep——]". The more Conan listened, the greener his face became.
Just when he was carried away by anger and was about to use the props he carried to kill the scumbag, the pretty boy hung up the phone and went to the bathroom humming a song.
...Haha, do you think you can escape like this?
Conan sneered and followed, with an expression like a criminal about to break the law. But as soon as he walked to the door, the target's scream came from inside.
This kind of exclamation is all too familiar to Conan - it is a precursor to the beginning of the case.
He suddenly woke up, changed back to his normal self as a detective, and opened the door suddenly. He saw that the stall door in the middle of the toilet was closed, and a large amount of blood flowed out from under the door.
The pretty boy fell down and sat down not far from the door, staring at the pool of blood, trembling and speechless.
Conan couldn't care less about him at this time. He was about to rush to the cubicle to check the situation when suddenly a person pushed him away from behind: "Give way!"
Amuro walked through the door and saw blood on the ground. Thinking about the basis of his reasoning just now: "There is not much blood", his heart dropped.
He had thought before that if Matsuda died one day, it might be because his undercover identity was exposed and Gin was chasing him with a machine gun, or it might be because he was too frantic when developing bombs and accidentally killed himself... But only
Unexpectedly, he died tragically by a passing murderer.
This is simply impossible to guard against, and I don’t even know how to protect it.
Amuro Toru's face was ugly, and her mood was extremely complicated. She rushed forward and pushed the door first.
The door was pushed inward a little, but immediately encountered resistance - the door was not locked, but it was blocked by something from the inside.
Of course, a hard push can push it away, but if one person is still alive, it can easily cause secondary damage.
Toru Amuro took back his hand, glanced at the gap at the top of the compartment, jumped up on it, lowered his head and looked inside.
There was blood everywhere in the compartment, and there was indeed a horrifying corpse lying behind the door, but that... was a woman.
Toru Amuro was startled. He looked at the necklaces scattered on the floor, and then at the cat paw prints in front of the woman, and gradually realized that things were different from what he expected.
He breathed a sigh of relief. But he soon realized that it was really good that he was not killed, but killing someone in the store in broad daylight and not knowing how to handle the body was not a good thing!
So now...Matsuda is absconding out of fear of crime?
...Fortunately, he was still willing to run away after killing the person and did not stay to fight with the police.
Because he intuitively felt that Matsuda would cause trouble, when Toru Amuro introduced him, he obtained a fake identity certificate for him in advance, and the names and addresses on it were all fabricated.
Tohru Amuro thought that although he was Matsuda's job introducer, he could have introduced him to the job here with the excuse of being threatened or paid.
Anyway, the fake identity of "Toru Amuro" is very real. If he goes through the official path, he will not be found out. Even if there is a problem, he will most likely not be caught. Even if he is caught, he can continue to act as if nothing happened.
was released.
Amuro Toru's dull mood finally relaxed a little. He avoided the pool of blood, let go and fell back to the ground. He began to think about how to disrupt the police's sight and give his accomplices who were absconding in fear of crime more time to escape.
Also, before the police arrive, the glasses and blood near the back door need to be disposed of.
Just as he was thinking about it, Toru Amuro's eyes moved and he noticed a child running towards his feet.
Conan was eager to know what was going on in the cubicle. He originally wanted the clerk who came to his door to lift him up for a look, but before he asked, he suddenly noticed something.
"...Where did you find this cat!?" Conan pointed to Toru Amuro's other hand.
A very familiar black cat was hanging in the air. His expression looked fierce, but his movements were quite Buddhist. After hearing him speak, he turned his head to look at him, and then turned his head away in a bored manner.
This size, this color, these ears and tail, plus the human black cat he saw in front of the counter... Conan was immediately sure that it was definitely the black cat that the black cat raised.
Speaking of which...where's the other black cat?
Conan tried to recall, but couldn't remember it at all. Later, his attention was all on the pretty girl, and occasionally he would focus a little bit on the cake shop where Mao Lilan was across the street.
Conan looked at the cat, then at the cubicle next to him, and asked Toru Amuro in shock: "Isn't that your new clerk in there?"
"..." Toru Amuro glanced down at him. Why did this kid think the blood was Matsuda's? Did Matsuda have a face that could easily be killed by passers-by...
He quickly came to his senses and shook his head: "It's an unknown female guest. I'm going to call the police. You..."
Tohru Amuro originally wanted Conan to take a closer look at the crime scene, but then he felt that he might have lost his mind and actually told such a thing to an elementary school student.
He turned and walked out the door. When he passed by Conan, he took him away from the scene, then called the police and an ambulance.
Of course, calling an ambulance is just a pretense - regardless of the location of the bleeding or the amount of blood, the possibility that the person inside is still alive is not very high.
…
They don’t know whether it was because the cat could accurately pick up the necklace they needed, and they thought it was a lucky mascot, or because Tohru Amuro’s magical intuition in the world of Ke Xue made him feel that the cat was connected to the missing Matsuda Kuroye, but he never understood it.
Let the cat go.
By this time, Shiraishi had also given up on going home and changing into a clean mask.
It's too late. This place is closer to the police station. The police will definitely arrive faster than him. On the premise that the murderer is not him, it is better to remain missing than to disappear halfway, suddenly appear in the store, and then be questioned about what happened just now.
It's convenient wherever you go.
Furthermore, there are Conan, Fei Eri, and Toru Amuro who carry a detective license in the store now. As long as they can be lured to quickly solve the case and find the real culprit, it doesn't matter if the new clerk disappears midway.
The police arrived quickly and based on Conan's clues, several suspects were identified.
The boy's seat was right next to the restroom. When Conan was staring at him, he saw who had entered the restroom out of the corner of his eye.
——The college student who stayed up late, Fei Yingli, Dianshan Shisan, a regular customer of this store, and the pretty boy.
Strictly speaking, the last one cannot be counted, and it is completely too late in terms of time.
After taking photos of the compartment from above, the Mumu Police Department asked officers from the Forensic Division to open the door of the compartment.
The cat's paw prints left at the scene were quickly discovered, and there were even a few marks on the window sill. The Mumu Police Department quickly noticed this witness... No, the witness cat.
