"Yes, of course. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Makino replied in the affirmative, "And it was the beautiful woman who went to Mr. Sasaki in person." ”

"And then?" Kudo's question was a little impatient.

And then how do I know. Makino smiled dumbly, "Why should I have nothing to do to inquire about the privacy of customers? Although that beauty is indeed beautiful, it is not so moving that it makes me break the bottom line." ”

"It's also ......" Kudo was a little disappointed, but after all, these were all reasonable, so his expression didn't change much, but continued to ask, "Then did you pay attention to their movements next?"

"Yes. ”

"Do you see anything crucial?"

"When I saw something, I saw that Mr. Sasaki had gone away. Makino poured all the kvasses from the glass into his mouth, as if to relieve his dry mouth," the beautiful woman put her arms on Mr. Sasaki's shoulders and whispered something to him, grinding her ears and temples, so that I thought they had a leg. ”

At first, I thought, "That means things have changed?

Kudo's eyes narrowed, and his eyes were blazing as Makino slowly poured kvash into the glass again, while talking about the facts of the time.

The two approached and whispered for a while. ”

"Of course, maybe the beautiful woman kept talking, but at the time she was leaning on Mr. Sasaki, and I couldn't see the mouths of both of them very clearly, and I couldn't tell who was talking by the shape of my mouth. ”

After a while, the beautiful woman lifted herself up. ”

"Then I noticed Mr. Sasaki's pale face, and his eyes were very blank, and in short, he looked very frightened. ”

Makino paused at this point, and Kvash filled the glass, and he pushed the bottle away in his hand, and held the glass close to his mouth.

Kudo watched from the side, and couldn't help but be anxious about the follow-up content that Makino was going to say, and couldn't help but interject at this time and ask: "Then you didn't ask anything when you saw this meeting?"

"What are you asking, I thought he had split his legs and that beautiful woman was found in the door......" Makino snorted, but as soon as the words fell, the next second he realized that someone had died, and his sister was still here, so he coughed a few times in embarrassment: "Oh, Miss Sasaki, look at my mouth......"

"It's fine. I'd heard all of this stuff once beforehand. You go ahead. Sasaki turned his head, "Just tell Detective Edogawa everything you know." ”

Makino nodded embarrassedly, and then turned his face.

"Then let's move on......"

"I misunderstood the relationship between the two of them so much at the time, so I continued to watch there, until finally Mr. Sasaki suddenly stood up and rushed out in a panic, and that expression of extreme fear and fear made me feel that something was wrong. ”

The beautiful woman in black stood on the ground and watched Mr. Sasaki run away with a smile on her face, the smile on her face was so bright that it was creepy. ”

At this point, Makino drank kvass, and did not say another word for half a minute.

"And then?" Kudo finally couldn't help but ask.

"And then?" Makino said, playing with the glass, "No, that's the end of it." ”

“…… You finally found out that something was wrong with Mr. Sasaki and something was wrong with the woman in black, and you still didn't do anything?" Kudo had an incomprehensible expression.

"But there's nothing I can do. Makino pouted, "What are you asking me to do? Catch up with Mr. Sasaki and ask what happened? Or take that beautiful woman to the hotel and talk face-to-face and ask what they just talked about? What is the difference between this and violating other people's privacy? I really couldn't pull my face to do these things at the time!"

“……”

"The most important thing is who knows what's going to happen next. When Makino talked about this topic, his eyes involuntarily glanced at Sasaki again, and he looked apologetic, "I didn't expect that woman to want to kill Mr. Sasaki!

He gritted his teeth and roared with a look of resignation: "I will definitely help Miss Sasaki ...... first"

Sasaki slapped the table heavily and bit his lips and teeth: "Don't bother Mr. Makino." And you don't have to blame yourself for not being able to help me, who knows what the future will be like in that situation...... Also, I hope Mr. Makino doesn't talk ......"

Makino's face soon filled with a smirk.

Kudo, who was on the side, coughed lightly.

Makino looked.

"Listening to Mr. Makino's later words, it seems that you think that the woman in black has long thought that she is the murderer?"

"Hmm...... After Mr. Sasaki's death, Ms. Sasaki and I speculated together after discussion. Because she is the most suspicious candidate. ”

"Didn't the police investigate the woman in black with you testifying?"

"Yes. The police searched the surveillance of the store that day, but could not find any images of the beautiful woman. In addition to me, the beautiful woman in black, and Mr. Sasaki in the café that day, there was only a junior high school student who was concentrating on studying materials to prepare for the big exam, a sophomore who had been silently reading a magazine and drinking coffee, and an old and dizzy grandmother...... None of them remembered her existing. ”

"This ...... Why is this happening?"

"Who knows. That's how the survey went. So the police felt that this beautiful woman was a character that Miss Sasaki and I couldn't accept the accidental death of Mr. Sasaki, so they didn't delve into it at all...... I've done some research after that, but I still haven't found anything. ”

Makino's tone was full of disappointment.

But the disappointment didn't last long, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Sasaki, and then stared at Kudo Shinichi with interest.

"However, Miss Sasaki seems to be regaining her spirits, because of you. ”

"I think you have some skills, and you have found some results in your investigation not long ago, right? Mr. Detective. ”

"Can you tell me what you got in the news I provided?"

He folded his hands, propped his chin on, and looked at Kudo with a smirk.

Kudo was silent for a moment.

His face was unusually embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I don't have an idea yet." But can you please show me the surveillance footage from that day? I don't really believe that the camera with it on didn't capture anything. ”

"It doesn't matter if it was filmed at the time, it couldn't have been easier for hackers to tamper with the footage to erase any trace of her existence. ”

"Huh?"

"Forget you, I didn't say it. Makino touched his nose, "The surveillance can be shown to you, but I have something to do this afternoon, so I can't stay in the coffee shop for too long...... Look at the time, you'll have to leave in five minutes......"

"Where are you going?" Kudo asked.

"It's my personal secret—"

"Mr. Makino, are you leaving?" Sasaki's eyes widened.

"Ah, yes, Miss Sasaki, I need to go home. Makino looked apologetic, "So I'm sorry." ”

"Can't you ......?"

"I'm really sorry. Makino began to clean up the things on the table, "But you can come tomorrow, I think I'll be free tomorrow." ”

Sasaki was naturally inevitably a little disappointed, but she knew that there were some things that she couldn't force, so she looked at Kudo.

"Then Mr. Edogawa means ......"

"Yes. Kudo didn't even have a reason to leave Makino to investigate, even though he was desperate to know the truth.

"That's good. Makino smiled, "Then please finish all the drinks I gave you, I'll close the door after I'm done." ”

Kudo and Sasaki drank the drink with only a little temperature in the next second.
