"The day after tomorrow, I'm going on a blind date!"

In order to maintain a good figure, she has only been eating salad for the past few days.

Nervous and expectant, this was her first time.

"So my dream now is to find a gentle boyfriend!"

Miku Horikoshi smiled shyly.

"That's right!" Miku Horikoshi suddenly thought of something, "Speaking of which, my underwear has been stolen again in the last few days. What a hateful thief! It seems that I have to think about whether to buy a dryer now, but I think it is too troublesome. In the case of superior apartments, there is usually a dryer, but the rent is too expensive......"

She seems to be in a dilemma, obviously trying to get the two of them to take the idea for her.

Ona said with a smile: "This kind of thing, of course, will be talked about tomorrow after the blind date, and it is not too late to make a decision at that time." ”

"Hasn't the thief who stole the panties been caught yet?"

"yes," Horikoshi Miku sighed, "It's not an important thing, but if it's always like this, I feel a little panicked." I was even a little scared that something else strange would happen. ”

"Then in the last few days, you should go back early, the holiday specially given to you, the salary is still calculated."

The hostess was very understanding.

She is a married mother who did not become a housewife after marriage because she always felt that staying at home would make her bored and decadent. Her family also expressed their understanding, so according to her own wishes, she opened such a bento restaurant, which tasted surprisingly good.

Of course, business is also good, but it is not to the point of fullness.

Mana Ogami thinks it's good, after all, her purpose is not to make money.

"Thank you, hostess!"

Although he said that, Horikoshi Miku still got off work at the scheduled time, which made Ona Ogami shake his head, feeling that this child was a little dead-eyed.

Actually, the closing time of the bento shop is not too late, 9 to 6, so Horikoshi Miku didn't think it was necessary.

The next day –

When Qinghai Chuantang came to have breakfast as usual, he didn't see Horikoshi Miku. Just when she was a little confused, Ona explained: "In the future, she will take leave for the past two days, after all, it's understandable that she is dating." But ......"

As she spoke, Mana Ogami took out a bag from the cabinet and placed it on the counter. Then he said, "I forgot to bring this child's lunch box back, can I please help you send it over?" ”

Qinghai Chuantang nodded.

"Thank you so much, Miss Tang."

According to the address mentioned by the other party, when Qinghai Chuantang came to the vicinity of Horikoshi's future home, he saw a cordon set up not far ahead. And the location happens to be the building where Miri Horikoshi lives.

Won't it ......

"Really, Conan is like this every time, always the first to rush forward. We're a boy detective group, so we have to act together! ”

Qinghai Chuantang didn't listen anymore, disguised it with illusion, and came to the door of Horikoshi Mikumi's house. There were several police officers standing inside, as well as a schoolboy with glasses.

She walked indoors, and there was a person lying on the bed, judging by her physical characteristics, she was a woman.

The head of the deceased was wrapped with a bandage, and the direction was from left to right.

On the table, there are photos of the deceased, each with a big smile. On the calendar, tomorrow's date is deliberately drawn with a red pen with a small heart, blank for the position, and the words "first blind date" are also written, with a cute smile at the end.

"Three years ago, there was a murderer who used the same tactics and committed five crimes, and the suspect has not been brought to justice. And this case is also known as the 'Duct Tape Serial Murder Case'. It seems that the murderer has reappeared. ”

"Twilight Police Department, are there any photos of the serial murders on tape? You might be able to find some clues. ”

Twilight Thirteen looked at Conan and said with a serious face, "This time, it's not your children's game. The murderer's methods are very perverted, and if he is not careful, he may become the next target. Just leave this matter to our police, and we will definitely succeed in arresting the murderer. ”

The clothes are intact, and the body shows signs of resistance. There is a bruise on the wrist, which is estimated to have been swollen. Strangely, her body seemed to have been cleaned.

Thinking of the words before Twilight Thirteen, Qinghai Chuantang finally understood that in the previous tape serial murder case, the murderer also used the same method: wrap the victim's head with duct tape and scrub her body.

At this time, Takagi walked in.

"Dusk Police Department. The landlord who lives downstairs, and the next-door neighbor, didn't hear the shouting last night. ”

There are so many residents here, how can they not hear it? Could it be that the murderer was someone known to the deceased, so he took the initiative to open the door?

"It's weird!"

Conan made a curious look, pointed to the clothes in the closet, and said, "These clothes are folded neatly and squarely, as if they have been doing this regularly, or have some kind of professional training. ”

That's true.

But as for whether the victim folded it himself or the murderer, it is difficult to say.

Qinghai Chuantang retreated to the door, and found no traces of hard picking or smashing the door. It seems that the murderer is indeed likely to be someone Horikoshi Miku knew.

"Speaking of which, it seems that someone in the neighborhood reported that the underwear was stolen. And not only that, but there are more than 20 such reports alone. ”

"So, there's a good chance that the murderer is the one who stole the underwear?"

It's possible, but not necessarily.

Twilight Thirteen pondered for a moment, "Looks like we're going to have to find the thief who stole the underwear first." ”

Seeing that there was no information available, Qinghai Chuantang returned downstairs and mingled in the crowd.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and in the end only a few people remained.

At this moment, a woman came this way, her steps slow and heavy.

She may be Horikoshi's future mother.

Twilight Thirteen and the others also happened to walk downstairs.

"Nothing happens to my family in the future, right?"

Her voice trembled a little, and she repeated the phrase twice as she finished speaking.

"She passed away last night. The specifics and reasons are still under investigation. ”

"No ......"

The woman stumbled and almost didn't fall, but fortunately Takagi held on.

She shook her head, repeating it in her mouth. can't bear such a big blow, as if demented, his eyes are a little dull, maybe it's more appropriate to use his lost soul.

The emotion was finally uncontrollable, and he let the tears flow from the corners of his eyes to his cheeks.

Twilight Thirteen was a little unbearable, but helpless.

"People can't be resurrected after death, please mourn and change."

Qinghai Chuantang sighed.

I wanted to take out my mobile phone to type, but after groping for it, I didn't find it on my body. Could it be that you accidentally forgot it at home and didn't bring it out?

But fortunately, she still has the habit of carrying pen and paper with her.

After writing the reason on it, Qinghai Chuantang handed the bento box to the woman. Without saying anything more, he chose to leave the scene and return home.

When he was about to walk to the door of his house, Qinghai Chuantang met his neighbor, who lived not far in front of him, only a family away from him.

He looks like he leaves work early every time.

Qinghai Chuantang still remembers that he had a gentle wife and a lovely daughter.

Maybe he didn't go to work because he happened to be on vacation today.

When his wife and daughter returned from grocery shopping, he happily went up to greet him. Holding her daughter in her arms, her other hand naturally took over the bag in her wife's hand, which contained some vegetables and fruits.

It looks very harmonious and happy.

After returning home, Qinghai Chuantang found a map of Rice Flower Town.

Without the corresponding intelligence, she could not do a geographical profile.

Qinghai Chuantang scratched his hair, a little worried.

But on second thought, since Conan encountered the incident, there was no reason to give up halfway. In addition, the children of the Junior Detective Corps are also there, and they are likely to be involved in this "** theft case".

Then, with their presence, you only need to ambush in one of the locations. If the suspect is spotted, they will definitely contact with the detective badge, and when the time comes, they can quietly follow up.

Qinghai Chuantang touched his chin and thought, this method is indeed feasible. Well, it's up to tonight.

The news has not yet been officially broadcast, and because of the serial murders, the police do not want to be alarmed by this.

No street lights, no surveillance, perfect section.

The location where she was ambushed now was where Conan was. After receiving his message, the rest of the children arrived one after another.

In the end, the light of the mobile phone flashlight shone on one person's body in unison.

Caught a present.

He was wearing a hat and a hat on his hand, and he looked prepared. The black car is parked in front of you, and if you don't look closely, you might think that the vehicle has merged with the night.

The trunk was open because he was about to put the theft into it.

"What a perverted uncle!"

"Hey, how can you do such a thing? That's not good, you know? I understand the truth as a child, but you as an adult don't. ”

For some reason, Qinghai Chuantang saw a look of disdain on the faces of these children.

"I—I just stole a few pairs of underwear."

The man was very nervous.

"How many?"

Gray Yuan Ai opened one of the suitcases inside, and immediately closed it again. It's full, I'm afraid you can open a boutique underwear store directly.

Qinghai Chuantang only felt that his appearance was very familiar, and in order to confirm whether this was really the case, she shone a flashlight on the other party.

"Is that you?"

They also said hello a few times.

"Huh? When did this big sister appear? ”

"Do you know him?"

Qinghai Chuantang nodded, "He's my neighbor." He is not a murderer, though. ”

"Why are you so sure?" Gray Yuan Wai pulled over a cardboard box, like a comprehensive gift package, "String, knife, and tape." ”

The victim was tied with a string, a knife was used to threaten her not to make a sound, and finally her head was tied with duct tape.

Just then, a Metropolitan Police Department vehicle arrives, and Twilight Thirteen, Takagi and others get out of the car.

"Now, you will be arrested for theft, home trespassing. You can exercise your right to silence or refuse to make statements that are unfavorable to you. Moreover, you have the right to appoint a lawyer to defend you. But for now, I'm sorry for you to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department with us. ”

Nishiguchi was handcuffed by Takagi.

"Wait, wait, I just stole a few pairs of underwear, and I didn't kill anyone!"

"Did I say you killed someone? It seems that the case of Miss Future before was done by you? ”

"It's not me! It's this kid, she, she said I was a murderer! ”

Nishiguchi just pointed at Gray Plains, with a look of "I have been wronged".
