Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1178 Who is the thief? Who is the thief?

At this time, the yellow-haired young man, Harajima Changgui, stood up and walked towards the door: "I don't have time to play with you. Leave the money here. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Sheng Zhilingdai shouted anxiously, "Stop right there! Are you trying to escape?"

Harashima Tsuneki stopped and looked back: "I just want to go home and watch TV after eating."

"A TV series?" Wakita Kanenori crossed his arms. "If you want to watch a live match, I understand. Nowadays, don't people usually schedule recordings of TV shows they want to watch?"

"The guy who readily ordered premium sushi at the sushi restaurant, I suppose he wouldn't be without a DVD player or VCR at home, right?"

Harashima Tsuneki groaned softly and returned to his seat somewhat helplessly: "Oh, yes, I suddenly remembered that I had already set up the recording."

His behavior of saying he was leaving and then changing his words immediately was quite suspicious, and it was easy for people to think that he was the one who stole the lottery.

Just as the most direct evidence, there was no blood on his cuffs.

Harashima Tsuneki sat down with great effort and said, "Then bring me some vinegar-pickled ginger slices, and I'll accompany you to the end."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." When there was a new order, Wakita Kanenori responded immediately.

At this time, office worker Sochika Tameshige also expressed his desire to go home early.

He and his wife had made an appointment to have dinner with his parents-in-law, and his wife had sent a message to urge them to do so.

Just at this moment, Munechika Tameshige's phone rang.

As soon as the call was connected, I heard a woman complaining about why he hadn't come home yet.

Munechika explained to his wife that he was involved in a troublesome situation at the sushi restaurant. When his wife was still confused, Wakita Kanenori snatched the phone, but he did not mention the matter of Manmacai.

All he said was that Munechika was harassed by a drunk and fell down, his clothes got wet, and the clerk was helping to dry the clothes.

After hearing what Wakita Kanenori said, Mrs. Munechika's tone softened. She asked Wakita Kanenori to help tell him the dinner location and then hung up the phone.

Wakita Kanenori relayed the words and returned the phone, then casually asked, since they were having dinner at a high-end restaurant, why didn't they just go there for dinner.

Munechika Tameshige said that his parents-in-law were very strict people. Every time he had a meal with them, he was so nervous that he couldn't eat, so he came to the sushi restaurant to eat something to fill his stomach.

Wakita Kensuke sighed that it was not easy for people with families.

Hearing this, Conan suddenly glanced at Kogoro Mouri secretly.

Given the uncle's usual attitude towards me, if he knew that I had started dating Mao Lilan, I wouldn't...

Although he is not afraid, it’s just that he didn’t care too much before because he was just his childhood sweetheart. But now it has changed, and he will become his father-in-law in the future.

Conan couldn't help but imagine the scene and secretly made up his mind that he would never become someone like Munechika Tameshige who was afraid of his parents-in-law.

But Conan seemed to have forgotten something. Maori Kogoro was easy to deal with, but Kisaki Eri, who had suppressed Kudo Shinichi since childhood...

Another couple in the store, Yuya and Miyano Shiho, were not worried at all.

Miyano Shiho's parents are long gone, and she only has one older sister. Miyano Akemi is very satisfied with Yuu and is a very gentle person herself.

As for Yuya's parents... they were heartbroken after knowing that Miyano Shiho's parents were both dead and she only had one sister. They were nice to Miyano Shiho and Yuya, and almost kicked their son out of the house. They treated their future daughter-in-law as their own daughter.

At this time, Ashino Naa said that she could stay in the store, but only until 8 o'clock at the latest.

She also had to go back to attend an auction that would close at 10 o'clock to sell a painting she liked.

Wakita Kanenori expressed his confusion. The woman was a regular customer here. Could it be that her home was far away from here? Otherwise, why would she go home two hours early?

Nana Ashino said it wasn't far, only 30 minutes' walk, but her computer at home broke down and couldn't be used, and her cell phone was almost out of battery, so she had to go home in advance to charge it.

The reasons were very convincing, and Wakita Kanenori could not find any grounds for rebuttal.

As she was talking, Ashino Naya asked for more mustard and a glass of whiskey soda, and complained that the mustard tasted a bit bad today.

Munechika Tameshige also ordered an additional portion of mashed potatoes and oolong tea.

Since they were forced to stay here to cooperate with the investigation of the thief, these things will be provided free of charge. As for the cost, it will most likely be deducted from Wakita Kensuke's salary.

Yuya and Conan both had thoughtful expressions, and their thoughts were roughly the same.

That is why there was no bloodstain on the cuffs of these three people, and why did the criminal deliberately throw his handbag into this sushi restaurant when he could have just thrown it into any trash can.

Yuya took another look at the three people's additional orders.

There was nothing wrong with the dishes ordered by Munechika Tameshige and Ashino Naa, but Harashima Tsuneki's pickled ginger slices were a bit concerning.

Vinegar and ginger can indeed wash away blood stains, and there are also wet marks on Huangmao's cuffs. However, vinegar-pickled ginger slices are not colorless, and if used to clean blood stains, they will definitely leave color.

Shengzhi Lingdai glanced angrily at the people in the store, and finally his gaze fell on Maori Kogoro: "Isn't there still one person here who hasn't been checked?"

Seeing this, Wakita Kanenori quickly introduced this as Mori Kogoro, how could he be a thief.

Shengzhi Lingdai naturally didn't believe it.

Seeing this, Wakita Kanenori directly pulled up Kogoro Mori's suit to prove his innocence, but found some stains on the cuffs of his shirt inside, which at first glance really looked a bit like bloodstains.

Kogoro Mouri explained in a panic that it was soy sauce, not blood.

You was also a little confused. He didn't know why, but the uncle was obviously telling the truth, but it gave people the feeling that he was making excuses.

Looking at Ran Mouri and Conan again, they both looked speechless and disgusted.

Youye shrugged his shoulders and didn't think about it anymore. After all, the uncle was always like this, and he was used to it.

Seeing that the last possible person had no blood on him, Shengzhi Lingdai shouted angrily: "Who stole my handbag on the tram? Tell me quickly!"

Harashima Tsuneki propped up his chin and said nonchalantly, "In that case, I didn't take the train at all. I walked here."

Munechika Tameshige also spoke up, "I came here by bus. I don't like trains that are crowded with people."

Ashino Naa came here by taxi.

In this case, since none of the three suspects took the tram, doesn't that mean they are all no longer suspects?

But Shengzhi Lingdai clearly didn't believe it. She said in a deep voice, "There's nothing I can do. I originally thought I'd let the matter go if the thief confessed, but now it seems I have no choice but to call the police."

"Anyway, when the police come and check your belongings, anyone with a million in cash or lottery tickets on them will undoubtedly be a thief!"

"After all, there's only one winning ticket for the lottery, and most people don't carry a million in cash around, right?"

Wakita Kensuke suddenly spoke up, "I don't think there's any need to call the police. Since the criminal is unwilling to come forward, I have no choice but to name and confess his crimes."

Shengzhi Lingdai looked at him in surprise: "You mean you know who the thief is?"

"Yes." Wakita Kanenori crossed his arms and nodded confidently, "The person who stole your wallet on the train an hour ago and left it in the restroom is among you!"

Hearing this, the people in the store had different expressions.

Some are calm, some don't care, and some just watch the fun.

There was only one person who looked a little strange, and that was Kogoro Mouri.

He was sweating profusely at the moment, with a look of fear on his face.
