Chapter 219: The Incident at the Coffee Shop

August 11, Sunday, afternoon, Lucky Cafe.

On a row of booths next to the aisle where you can go to the bathroom, they sat down in turn from the outside to the inside, a brunette beauty, Conan and a long-haired young man. Conan suspected that the long-haired man was Lan's date, and immediately moved from the seat next to the brunette beauty to the seat next to the long-haired man.

At this time, the mobile phone of the long-haired man rang. And the college student passed by Conan and went to the bathroom.

"Hey, I'm Prince Ruo....What, good man, it's you....I have an appointment with a girl, please don't make trouble...That's right, it's the girl I met when I was an intern at a TV station A very cute girl."

At this time, the college student came back, and the brunette beauty passed by Conan and went to the bathroom.

"Television station?" Conan said to himself, "When the producer was killed last night? Wasn't Lan with Yamazaki and Mei Daiko? Really, I knew I should wear the detective badge on my body."

"There are not many naive girls now," said Mr. Ruo Wangzi with a smug smile, "Women are such animals, as long as you say a few nice words to her, you can easily catch them." He laughed out loud.

Conan said angrily: "This guy..."

"By the way, don't tell other girls," said Mr. Ruo Wangzi with a smile, "hang up."

At this time, the brunette came back, and Mr. Tonoyama who was sitting at the bar passed by Conan and went to the bathroom.

"Okay, look at me, after I strengthen the strength of the shoes, I will kick you out of the playboy." Conan said, squatting down to turn the knob on the shoes to the maximum.

At this time, the phone in the coffee shop rang, and the waiter answered the phone and shouted: "Mr. Edogawa, is there a Mr. Edogawa here?"

"Uh," stunned for a moment, Conan stepped forward and said, "I am."

The waiter smiled and said, "Your phone number, little brother." Then he handed the phone to Conan.

After answering the phone, Conan smiled and said, "Thank you big sister."

Conan asked, "Hello, who is it?"

Ran shouted, "Conan!"

Conan asked again: "Sister Xiaolan?"

Lan said: "I'm sorry, I can't go back to your place now, the cash register in this store is broken, and there is no way to get change at all."

At the same time, Mei Daizi's voice came from the phone, "I just took a picture to see that the drawer of the cash register couldn't be opened," and then took a bite of the cake, "Isn't the drawer open now?" Then it should be The boss's voice, "But, the cash register doesn't seem to be displayed now."

Twitching the corner of his mouth, Conan asked with a smile: "Sister Lan, why is sister Mei Daizi there?" At the same time, he thought to himself, the cash register must be broken for a while.

"Yamazaki and Mei Daizi met on the road, and they called from Yamazaki's mobile phone." Lan said, and then asked, "Did anyone come to see me there just now?"

Looking at Mr. Ruo Wangzi's long hair, Conan said angrily, "Yes, your hair is long, right?"

"Yes, that's the man." Lan smiled, and then asked suspiciously, "But it's really strange, he usually wears his hair tied up."

Seeing that Mr. Ruo Wangzi was tying up his hair, Conan said again: "That's right, it's tied up now.

"

At this time, Mei Daizi's voice came again from the phone, "Okay, it's too slow, I might as well pay you back. How much is this cash register? Is this enough? If there is more, I will replace it with Give me this cake."

At this time, Mr. Dianshan came back, and Mr. Ruozi got up and went to the bathroom.

"No, sister Xiaolan," Conan said again, "Don't meet this kind of person, okay?"

At this time, the boss's voice came again on the phone, "This kind of high-end cake is sent from the main store, we can't make it without materials." Then came the voice of Mei Daizi, "How long will it take, more than an hour ? I can't wait that long. Really..." Then there should be the sound of the cash register being tapped again. Then it was Mei Daizi's voice again, "Yeah? Alright, hurry up, boss. Don't worry, I will pay you if I say I will pay you. Hurry up and get the change."

Lan smiled and said, "The cash register seems to be working, I'll go back right away." After speaking, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Conan said, "Damn it, that hairy guy, I'll..."

At this time, Mr. Ruo Wangzi's screams came from the bathroom.

Conan rushed into the bathroom immediately, saw Prince Ruo sitting on the ground with trembling legs, and asked, "What happened?" At the same time, Conan also looked around because he smelled blood.

Prince Ruo said in fear, "Blood..."

There are two private rooms in the bathroom. Looking at the red liquid flowing from the single room on the ground, Conan was taken aback. It was... thinking and rushed over. Pushing the door of the private room, it seemed that something was blocked inside. Conan immediately spun his shoes, jumped on the door, lay down on it and looked in, the woman in yellow was lying beside the door covered in blood, The murder weapon, a knife, was nearby, the purse was turned over, and things were spilled all over the floor.

Not long after, the Megure Police Department arrived with their men and blocked the coffee shop. After the inspectors took the photos, they removed the body and sealed everything on the ground with bags.

After looking at the ID card, Megure Police Department said: "Yayoi Himeno, twenty-four years old this year." Then holding the photo just taken, he asked Conan: "Then just like this photo, who is the victim? It fell against the door, didn't it, Conan?"

Conan said: "Because I found that the door was not locked, so I jumped on it to see."

The Mumu Police Department asked: "What is the cause of death?"

"He was stabbed in the heart and died," the forensic officer said, "but the victim's neck seems to have been strangled by something."

"Well, she doesn't seem to have struggled. The murderer first strangled the victim's neck to make her unconscious, and then stabbed her in the heart with a knife. The victim lost a lot of blood to death after the knife was pulled out." Mu Mu Police Department Said, "He must have wanted to steal the victim's money at first, but he only wanted to kill after being seen. Looking out from the opened window of this single room, there is a fire lane where no one passes by outside. He put the murder weapon, the victim Throw away the bag and the empty wallet, and then block the door of the bathroom with the victim's body. In other words, the murderer who broke in through the window was already waiting for his prey there, and killed Miss Himeno who happened to come in Afterwards, she ran away from the window in a panic after snatching her money, which must have been done by someone from the outside.” Then he ordered, “Go around and ask about the situation immediately.”

Conan said: "Wait a minute, Mumu Police Department, look at that window, isn't it too clean?"

Mu Mu police department smiled and said: "This is very good, the bathroom should be clean."

"That's not what I mean," Conan said. "The victim's blood was so much, the murderer must have blood on his body."

"By the way, if this is the case, there should be traces on the window where the murderer escaped." Mumu Police Department said, "However, maybe the murderer wiped it clean. water source and wipes."

"But, Megure Police Department, didn't you say that the murderer ran away in a panic?" Conan asked back, "How could a murderer who left the murder weapon at the crime scene do this?"

"In this case, judging from the fact that the murderer left the murder weapon here and did not take it away," Mumu Police Department said in surprise, "could this be done by an internal criminal?"

Conan smiled and said, "It must be." At the same time, he thought, how tired.

"However, the door of this single room was blocked by the victim's body at that time, and there was no sign of the body moving. The single room next door has no windows, so we can't go out from this side first and then enter from the next door," Mumu police said. , "How will the murderer get out of the private room?"

Pointing to the space between the door and the ceiling of the single room, Conan said: "Of course there is only one way, from above..."

"That gap..." The Mumu Police Department looked at its subordinates, then pointed to a policeman who had just entered and said, "Inspector Takagi, please try it."

"Inspector Takagi?" Conan looked up, and it turned out to be the inspector Takagi he knew. He was still wearing the uniform of Mihua Town, and it seemed that he was called to help.

Seeing Inspector Takagi crawling over easily, Meguro Police Department said again: "But if the murderer is said to have blood on his body, there will be blood on the wall when he climbs. By the way, there is water and paper here. He can climb while climbing." Wipe off all the blood, but isn't he afraid of being seen by someone who suddenly breaks in?"

Conan pointed to the door of the bathroom and said: "Mumu Police Department, look, there is a door lock on the entrance door of this bathroom, as long as the door is locked, this is a secret room."

"That's good," Mumu Police Department ordered, "Immediately find out who went to the toilet before and after the victim."

Conan said, "I know who they are because I happened to see them."

The Mumu Police Department asked: "Conan, are you serious?"

"Well," Conan said, "the order is, a college student brother, a brown-haired aunt, a big uncle, and finally the brother with long hair and braids."

The Mumu police department ordered: "Takagi inspector, please go and invite them in."

Takagi opened the bathroom door, and the brunette woman came in first, "Little brother, so you are that Conan, you are indeed very smart, but the detective game is over here."

turn out to be? Conan was taken aback, she knew me?

"You..." Mumu Police Department asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I came here because I made an appointment with my friend to meet here and do something by the way." The brunette replied, and then said, "Megure Police Department, I heard what you and Conan said just now. After so many years Yes, Mumu Police Department, I now understand how the two of you solved the incident. It turned out that it was all based on Meng, and I really convinced you."

The Mumu Police Department asked angrily: "How can this be called Meng?"

The brunette woman asked: "Then let me ask you, is the victim's clothes neat?"

"Uh..." Mumu Police Department was stunned.

The brown-haired woman said: "The person standing outside the window wants to silence the victim inside. If you use a strangler, you can only do it when the victim is sitting on the toilet. At other times, it is impossible for the person standing outside the window to be silent." Stretch the victim without breath." Then he said, "Okay, you guys turn around, I'll check."

After a while, the brown-haired woman said: "Okay, you can turn around." Then said, "The clothes are fine."

Looking at the three people brought in by Takagi's inspection, the college student, the big man and the long-haired man, Conan said: "That is to say, the murderer was someone the victim knew, so the victim didn't call for help immediately? Or..."

"Or the four of us were waiting at the door and attacked her suddenly when she came out." Looking at Conan, the brunette woman said, "Do you want to say that, Conan?"

"Uh..." Conan was stunned, why did he feel chills all over his body when he was stared at by her?

The Mumu Police Department smiled and said, "How could it be you?" Then he asked the three of them, "Please introduce yourself, is that okay?"

The brown-haired woman said: "It's too early to say who it is." As she spoke, she took the photos of the scene from the Megure Police Department and looked at the scene.

The college student smiled and said, "My name is Huang Yuyi. I am twenty-five years old. I am here today to write a thesis."

Mr. Dianshan said: "My name is Dianshan Shisan. I come to this store every day. I like to chat with the boss."

Mr. Ruo Wangji said: "My name is Ruo Wangji Juro, and I am here to wait for a girl."

Wait a minute, Conan thought, something, something different from the previous one.

The Mumu Police Department asked again: "Do any of you know the victim?"

The three quickly shook their heads together and said no.

The brown-haired woman said: "Megure Police Department, this question should be asked to the boss and waiter in this store."

The Megure Police Department immediately ordered Takagi Inspector to invite them over.

After a while, the boss and the waiter came over and knew the problem. They all said that today was the first time they saw the victim.

At this time. The brown-haired woman said: "It seems that the murderer made the victim lie down on his side and blocked the door before pulling out the murder weapon, so there is no blood around, only some splashes from the lower end of the toilet."

What a power of observation, Conan thought in surprise.

The Mumu Police Department asked in surprise: "So, the murderer didn't have blood on his body, so he escaped through the window?"

"There may be some on the arm, pay attention to some of them should be able to go out without leaving blood." The brown-haired woman said, and then said to the Megure Police Department, "Please ask the forensic personnel to check whether there are footprints on the toilet lid, whether it is from the window , or leave from the gap on the door, this stepping place is necessary. The traces on it, no matter from outside the window or lying on the door, are not easy to wipe off. And whether there are any traces on the wall If you want to climb out of the rubbed marks without stepping on the wall, few people can do it."

Conan asked: "If you don't wear shoes, throw the shoes out first?"

Glancing at Conan, the brown-haired woman said, "If the murderer is so careful, then there is something wrong with the murder weapon." As she spoke, she took the bag containing the murder weapon from the forensic officer.

The Mumu Police Department asked, "What's wrong with the murder weapon?"

Conan said: "If the murderer was careful, he would have taken the murder weapon away, and staying at the scene now means that he had to keep the murder weapon at the scene." Then he asked, "Auntie, is that so?"

"Yeah." Nodding, the brunette said, "Conan is right."...
