My neighbor's name is Conan

"Okay, we've finished our drinks, so let's continue shopping." Suzuki Sonoko said enthusiastically, looking at the empty cups on the table.

Mao Lilan also held up the brochure and said with a smile: "I have already researched the store I want to go to."

Hearing this, Shinname Kaori smiled and said, "Let's go, shall we go buy some clothes for Sayuri first?"

"Okay." Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko responded immediately.

Then they stood up and walked towards the store door.

Conan, who was walking at the end, felt something was wrong and couldn't help but look back at the capable lady.

"Okay, it's time to go, kid." Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri said to Conan unhappily.

"Oh, yes." Conan responded, turned around reluctantly, and left with Maori Kogoro and others.

Outside the coffee shop.

Walking down this street, Maori Kogoro frowned at the passers-by inside and outside, "Hey, what's going on? There are people in strange clothes everywhere."

Almost eight out of ten women outside the door were wearing Lolita-style skirts, coming and going.

I can only say that it is worthy of being called Harajuku.

"You guys don't want to buy it, just like these guys..." Maori Kogoro turned around and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Hey? Where are they?"

Because Kogoro Mouri discovered that Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, Shinna Kaori and Sayuri were all missing, leaving only Aoki Matsu here.

"Um, Sister Xiaolan and the others said they were going to do some shopping and asked us to wander around the neighborhood by ourselves." Conan replied.

Maori Kogoro was a little angry when he heard this and said, "What are you following? Then there is no point for me to follow you, right?"

Qing Musong rolled his eyes when he heard this, and thought to himself, "If you follow me, it will be even more meaningless."

Conan, however, thought of something else [No, I should say, the purpose of your coming here is...] His eyes turned to a boyfriend who was holding a paper bag nearby.

really!

When Maori Ran and the other three came back, Maori Kogoro and Aoki Matsu had a few more paper bags in their hands.

A ruthless bag carrier.

Aoki Matsu has gotten used to it, but Maori Kogoro obviously has not.

But the ladies next to them don't care about that.

Suzuki Sonoko held the brochure and said excitedly: "Look at this, the clothes in this store are so beautiful. Next is this store."

"This one is so cute." Mao Lilan agreed happily.

"This one suits Sayuri very well." Shinname Kaori said after taking a look.

Sayuri said, "I don't like the green one. I want the pink one."

"Then this one." Suzuki Sonoko turned a page and pointed to another piece of clothing.

“This one is even cuter.”

……

There was a cheerful discussion going on nearby. Kogoro Mouri looked at the paper bag in his hand with some curiosity. "What a cute thing." He said and prepared to take out the contents of the bag to have a look.

Mao Lilan saw this and quickly stepped forward to stop Mao Li Kogoro's behavior, "Dad, don't open it casually."

"Hmph, then you two can take it yourselves." Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri threw the bag in his hand to Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki with some anger.

I don't know whether it was because Kogoro Mouri threw it well, or because Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki caught it well, but the paper bag fell right into their arms.

But just after they received the paper bag, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were suddenly stunned, and then shouted "Ah!"

I felt something cold touching my back.

When they turned around, they saw a foreign man holding an ice cream in both hands, looking at the two of them at a loss.

"Really, that's annoying." Mao Lilan put down the paper bag in her hand.

Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing by, also put down the paper bag and said angrily, "Isn't this ice cream?"

The other party was a foreign man. When he saw Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looking at him with dissatisfaction and reproach, he suddenly became excited and spoke a lot in foreign languages... No one understood what he was saying!

Seeing this, the poor student Suzuki Sonoko asked the top student Mao Lilan in a low voice, "Which language are you speaking?"

Ran Mao Li, a top student, didn't understand either. "You speak too fast. I can't understand at all."

At this time, a sinful hand reached out to the paper bag placed at Suzuki Sonoko's feet, and was caught by the sharp-eyed Conan with a serious face, "These people are ice cream robbers!"

"Ah!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The man holding the ice cream also changed his expression and said “NO!”

"This is a crime method that Japanese tourists often encounter abroad. Once ice cream gets stained on their clothes, they will want to wipe it off immediately, so they will let go of the luggage. Then they will use fast foreign language to attract the victim's attention. The other accomplices will take the opportunity to steal the tourist's luggage and run away immediately." Conan explained.

After hearing what Conan said, the two foreign prisoners immediately wanted to escape.

But Aoki Matsu was able to subdue him and then everyone called the police.

While waiting for the police, Shinname Kaori asked curiously, "Conan, how do you know all this?"

"That's what they said on TV," Conan replied obediently.

"Eh?" Maori Kogoro was a little surprised [This brat, what kind of programs does he watch on weekdays! ]

Suzuki Sonoko said in some distress: "But it's really a headache to make the clothes look like this."

Mao Lilan also said in annoyance: "Why do you continue shopping?"

"Why don't you just change into your new clothes?" suggested Kogoro Mouri.

"Ah!" Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki both had small eyes in an instant.

Some of the clothes they bought were...

"Since you bought it, just wear it!" said Kogoro Mouri.

amount……

Could it be that the two of them really bought the kind of clothes that Kogoro Mouri had mentioned before, clothes that cannot be worn outside?

There was no choice, so Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other and went to the public toilet.

Mao Lilan stood in front of the toilet door and said to everyone, "Listen carefully, you are not allowed to laugh! You absolutely cannot laugh, understand?"

"Yeah!" Conan responded obediently, but Mao Lilan's words aroused Conan's rebellious heart [but he would definitely pour cold water on her. 】

In the women's restroom.

When Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran went in, they saw a huge crowd of people queuing.

Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but say, "There are so many people here!"

The women's restroom is mostly filled with women who want to change clothes. The number of people in this restroom is almost the same as that in a shopping mall.

"Everyone seems to have the same goal." Suzuki Sonoko raised her eyebrows and complained.

Mao Lilan nodded in agreement, "Yeah."

"Hey, don't go too far!"

Looking over there, a woman was knocking on the door of one of the toilets with an angry look on her face.

Mao Lilan saw this and hurried over to ask, "What happened?"

The lady pointed angrily and said: "This person has been in there for more than 30 minutes and he still hasn't come out."

"Ah, could it be that he suddenly had a heart attack and fainted in there?" Mao Lilan guessed.

"Ah!" Mao Lilan's guess scared the girls nearby.

"At times like this, we should just... climb up and take a look." Suzuki Sonoko grabbed the top of the door with both hands, jumped up and looked inside.

But he found that it was the girl in Gothic Lolita who had entered the beverage shop before, lying in the toilet covered in blood.

"Ah!" Suzuki Sonoko screamed with her pupils shrinking.

Hearing Suzuki Sonoko's scream, the faces of the people waiting outside changed instantly, and then they hurried into the women's restroom.

Maori Kogoro looked at Suzuki Sonoko who was sitting on the ground and asked, "Hey, what's wrong?"

Suzuki Sonoko pointed at the toilet with a shaking finger and said tremblingly in fear: "In the toilet... brother...goddess loli..."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" asked Kogoro Mouri in confusion.

Seeing this, Qing Musong hurried out and said to the girls around him: "I am a criminal, and I want to check this toilet now."

Afterwards, Aoki Songcai jumped up by grabbing the toilet door and looked into the toilet. He saw the Gothic Lolita with a painful expression, falling silently on the toilet. There were obvious rope marks on her neck, as well as Yoshikawa lines on her neck where the victim had struggled.

"Kaori, call the police." Aoki Matsu ordered.

Then he jumped down and shook his head to Maori Kogoro and others, "The person is already dead."

After calling the police, Matsu Aoki and Kogoro Mori maintained order at the scene.

Soon the police came.

They quickly rushed to the women's restroom and cordoned it off, but some curious onlookers still gathered nearby.

As expected, since Aoki Matsu was at the scene, the Metropolitan Police Department handed the case over to Aoki Matsu.

Maruta Ayumi carefully looked at the victim in front of him. Looking at the outfit, he couldn't help but say, "This outfit is really exaggerated. Is this kind of outfit popular among the victims recently?"

"No, this is a gothic lolita outfit," said Shinname Kaori. "It's a style that has been popular for a long time."

"Oh, I don't quite understand this." Maruta Ayumi laughed dryly.

Aoki Matsu interrupted Maruta Ayumi and asked, "Have you found out the identity of the victim?"

"According to the driver's license on the victim, she lives in Haido Town. Her name is Kusase Mihiro." Aihara Yoji said while holding a small notebook. "There are rope marks on the victim's neck, as well as Yoshikawa thread. It seems that she was strangled to death."

Mao Lilan was a little surprised when she heard this and asked, "Yoshikawa Line?"

Suzuki Sonoko also asked with a puzzled look: "What is that?"

"Ah... This is a special term used by our police." Aihara Yoji explained: "When someone's neck is strangled, anyone will feel very painful. They will use their hands to pull the belt or rope that is strangling their neck outwards. Usually at that time, the finger marks of the strangled person will be left on the neck.

Because of the strong desire to resume breathing, the scratches are usually very deep, so the scratches are evidence of being strangled. The first person to notice this was Mr. Yoshikawa Sumieichi, who was the head of the Forensic Division of the Metropolitan Police Department during the Taisho era. Therefore, the scratches were later called the Yoshikawa Line by the police. "

"Are there always so many people in this toilet?" Maruta Ayumi asked as he stood at the toilet door and looked at the huge crowd outside.

"Yes, today I went shopping with my daughter and her friends. I wanted to change into the clothes I bought in Harajuku, so I came to this restroom. As a result, I met this girl again, but she was in such a miserable condition." Kogoro Mouri said with some emotion.

"No, there are only a lot of people during this time. I heard that when they came." Qing Musong stood up and said, "This toilet seems to have been locked, and the sound of mobile phones keeps ringing. How is the mobile phone investigation going?"

Aihara Yoji quickly said, "After we checked the missed call records of the victim's mobile phone, we found that during these two hours, someone called every ten minutes to look for the victim."

"Ring, ring, ring". A series of pleasant dripping sounds.

It was like a sign from heaven, speak of the devil and he will appear.

At this moment, the cell phone started to ring and instantly became the focus of attention.

"Oh, there's another call." Aihara Yoji said, "It's the same number as the missed call."

Qing Musong took the phone and said, "Hey, Wei Hong, what are you doing? I've been waiting for you in the cafe!"

"Miss, I am a detective from the Third Section of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department." said Aoki Matsu.

"Criminal?" The woman on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised, and asked in confusion, "What happened to Weihong?"

Qing Musong said directly: "She is dead, please come over."

"What?!" the female voice was shocked.

Not long after, the other party came over, and it was indeed the capable lady.

Seeing the body of Kusase Mihiro, the other party was horrified. "How, how could it be..." He wanted to step forward and said, "Mhiro, why?"

Maruta Ayumi quickly stopped the other party from moving forward.

Aoki Matsu looked at her and asked, "You have an appointment with Miss Kusase Mihiro today. Is that correct?"

"Yes." The capable lady wiped her tears and replied, "We agreed to meet at a coffee shop in Shinjuku at 1pm."

"But you seem to be late." Aoki Matsu looked at the other person and said.

The capable lady nodded and said, "I was delayed by something and was 10 minutes late, so I missed it."

"Ah, so the victim was killed after coming to the toilet and didn't go back?" Maruta Ayumi said.

The capable lady nodded and said, "Well, because it had been too long, I asked the clerk of that store to go to the bathroom to check, but there was no one in the bathroom, so I called Weihong every 10 minutes to find her. But I couldn't get through to her. I didn't expect that after finally getting through to her, it was..." When she said this, she looked at Aoki Matsu.

"In the end, I was the one who answered the call, right?" Aoki Matsu took the initiative to ask.

"Yes," the capable lady replied.

"But why don't you go to the bathroom yourself?" Maruta Ayumi looked at the other person and asked.

"Because the restroom of that store is outside the store." Maori Kogoro answered for Aoki Matsu. "It might not be a good idea to leave the store before paying after ordering."
