But it also successfully attracted the attention of everyone present:

"That big brother with long hair~"

"You're wearing strange clothes."

Conan led the attention of all the passengers and focused it on the long-haired man among the three suspects.

This made the long-haired man's face look a little ugly.

He seemed reluctant to be in the spotlight.

I saw a drop of cold sweat on his forehead, and after holding it in for a moment, he managed to force a smile:

"Are…are my clothes weird?"

"It's just a Nova Russo jersey."

"I'm a fan of Tokyo Novaru. Is there anything wrong with wearing a jersey to watch the game?"

Most of the passengers standing on the platform are football fans who have just finished watching the game.

Everyone was wearing their team's jersey, either Nova or SPIRITS - the long-haired man was just wearing a Nova jersey, there was nothing strange about that.

"But... Big Brother with Long Hair..."

"Did you actually just go to the game, wearing this jersey?"

Conan smiled slightly, and the confidence in his smile made people forget that he was an elementary school student.

Many passengers and fans present followed his reminder and observed carefully.

This one looks like the problem:

"Wait... that's a jersey?!"

"What, what's wrong..." The long-haired man hadn't noticed the problem yet: "Is there something wrong with my jersey?"

"Of course there is!"

Some radical fans of Tokyo Novaru couldn't help themselves:

"Are you really a fan of our Novalu team?"

"How could we, the fans of Team Noval, possibly come out to watch a game wearing the jersey of that traitor, Higo Ryusuke?!"

Everyone here is a knowledgeable fan.

They all recognized that the long-haired man was wearing the No. 9 jersey that Takayuki Higo had worn when he played for Tokyo Novaru, and Takayuki Higo's surname in Romanization was clearly printed on it.

Higo Ryusuke recently betrayed the Noval team and jumped to Osaka.

It was precisely because of the absence of this main player at this critical moment that Tokyo Novalo lost to Tokyo SPIRITS today and lost the championship of the Kanto League.

and so……

The fans of the Nova team are all angry with Bihu Longyou.

Among them are lawless football hooligans like Kakutake Akano.

But the long-haired man said that he was wearing this jersey and had just watched the game between the Nova team and the SPIRITS team.

At this time, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by the fans of the Nova team by wearing a traitor's jersey to the game?

"Are you really a fan of Team Nova?"

"No... Do you really understand football?"

Conan didn't need to explain, everyone could see that he was a fake fan.

And most importantly:

"Were you really watching the game just now?"

"Big brother with long hair~"

Conan pressed on with his sweet childish voice:

"If you actually get into the venue and sit among all those fans."

"It's impossible that no one noticed the 'Traitor' jersey you were wearing during the entire game."

"You wouldn't be so ignorant of the situation of Higo, the person whose name is printed on your shirt, as you are now."

"I..." The long-haired man was speechless for a moment.

The cold sweat on his forehead became more and more obvious.

Conan continued to analyze without stopping:

"Maybe you don't understand football at all and you haven't watched the games."

"You simply wore a jersey so you could blend in with the fans after the game and quietly approach the deceased, Mr. Akano Kakutake."

"How, how is it possible..."

The long-haired man is still quibbling:

"I don't even know that guy!"

"That's even weirder." Conan spread his hands: "You just said you were a fan of the Nova team."

"Novarus fans, is there anyone who doesn't know this football hooligan who's been to jail several times for repeatedly fighting with opposing fans at Novarus games?"

"Even a kid like me, who hadn't even been watching football for a year, had heard of this notorious guy—and I wasn't even a fan of the Nova Russo team."

“…” The long-haired man was speechless.

Conan's words were sharper than the last:

"Big brother with long hair... I doubt you even watched the game."

"And the reason you didn't go to the game is very simple:"

"Akanobashi Takeshi has been blacklisted from the league's spectators due to his repeated disturbances at the venue."

"Everyone at the venue's security knew him, so he couldn't get inside to watch the game. He could only stare at the broadcast on the big screen outside the venue and feel the atmosphere of the game from a distance."

"So... in order to keep track of this target, you have no choice but to stay outside the venue with him."

"You..." The long-haired man swallowed nervously: "What are you talking about, kid...I don't understand anything."

"Tell me, tell me I followed that guy. Do you have any evidence?"

"There is no evidence."

"It's just a guess."

Conan shook his head calmly:

"But you may have something that can indirectly verify my guess."

"W-what?"

"Subway tickets." Conan analyzed: "The subway station near this stadium is very crowded, and there will be a long queue to buy tickets on site."

"If you buy your ticket last minute when you enter the subway, it's easy to lose track of your destination while waiting in line."

"So, in order to ensure I don't lose track of my target and keep following Uncle Akano closely after entering the subway station..."

“You can only buy subway tickets a few hours in advance!”

This is not proof, but it is supporting evidence.

If we look at the subway ticket found on the long-haired man, the timestamp on it is indeed not recent, but several hours ago, or even earlier.

Then he is undoubtedly the number one suspect in this case.

They will also receive special attention from the police afterwards.

"Sir...what's your name?"

Vermouth asked slowly.

"Daye...Daye Yuemin."

The long-haired man gave his name, Daye Yuemin.

"Very good, Mr. Daye."

Vermouth smiled, but her tone was filled with unquestionable majesty:

"Now even a primary school student can see that there is something suspicious about you."

"Shouldn't you show me your ticket?"

"I..." Daye Yuemin hesitated for a moment.

"Don't waste time." Vermouth raised her eyebrows: "My boyfriend is a policeman."

"Your refusal to cooperate with the investigation will only make him more suspicious of you."

Daye Yuemin had nothing more to say.

He could only bite the bullet and reach for his bag.

But when the hand was halfway extended, he stopped in confusion, not knowing what he thought of.

"What, is there a problem?"

"No..." Daye Yuemin unzipped her pants with great difficulty, her movements extremely slow.

It was as if the zipper of the bag was a heavy iron chain.

After pulling for a while, only a small hole was torn out.

He stopped trying to open the zipper and just reached his hand through the small opening, groping for the ticket with difficulty.

"Heh..." Vermouth's eyes became subtle.

Conan also realized something.

"Mr. Daye."

"Is there something hidden in your bag that you don't want others to see?"

"No, no..." His voice was trembling.

Her hands subconsciously protected her bag.

But of course it didn't work.

With just a slight reach out, Vermouth "changed" the bag from Daye Yuemin's hand like magic.

In full view of everyone, the zipper opened.

Inside was a pair of work gloves and...

A knife.

Make yourself angry

"What do you carry a knife for?"

"For self-defense..."

"Where are the gloves?"

"..."

Daye Yuemin hesitated and couldn't continue.

He pretended to be a fan by wearing a Takayuki Higo jersey, lied when explaining his whereabouts, bought subway tickets in advance, and carried gloves and a knife with him... This was already too suspicious to explain.

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Daye..."

Vermouth narrowed her eyes and smiled playfully:

"When Akano Kakutake forced his way to the front row earlier, you were probably following closely behind him, right?"

"That's right!" someone at the scene recalled.

They may not be impressed by the people passing by them.

But the person who cuts into your team is not so easily forgotten.

"That Akano Kakutake was the one who cut in line at that time."

"And this long-haired guy named Daye was following closely behind him!"
