Conan's face, softened by hearing Xiaolan's voice, suddenly became as ugly as a bitter melon, and he replied grindingly, "There is a long-haired person looking for you." ”

"Yes, yes, that's it. It's weird, it's usually tied up. ”

Conan glanced at the long-haired man and found that the other party was getting up to go to the bathroom, and his hair was indeed tied up in a bunch at some point.

“…… Just tied. But Sister Xiaolan, don't date this kind of person! ”

Xiaolan didn't answer, through the earpiece, there was a mechanical murmur from the opposite side, followed by Xiaolan's voice, "The cash register is repaired, I'll go back immediately!" ”

Conan wanted to say don't come, go home quickly, but the phone was hung up.

He stared at the bathroom door with a cloud, and was thinking about whether to weld the door shut, when a throat-piercing scream suddenly sounded from inside the door.

Conan was stunned and quickly rushed to the bathroom, and Shiraki also pushed open the plate and walked in under the stunned eyes of everyone in the store.

This restroom is no different from other restrooms, except for the mixed use of men and women: when you enter, there is a washbasin on the outside, and a row of cubicles on one side of the inside.

Underneath the penultimate chamber, a thick patch of blood spread along the floor.

The handsome long-haired man was sitting on the floor between the inner and outer rooms, trembling and pointing at the blood.

Bai Shu had already dialed the number before he came in, and after seeing the blood unsurprisingly, he pressed the call button, first called the ambulance, and then called the police, very skillful.

Conan bypassed the long-haired man and ran to the bleeding compartment, carefully avoiding the bloodstains and trying to push the door.

With his push, the door slid inward and opened a gap.

But with a little more force, you can feel a noticeable resistance: the door is not locked, but something not light seems to be blocking the door.

Conan was afraid of destroying the possible crime scene, so he gave up pushing the door, and he looked up at the gap between the door and the ceiling above, wanting Shiraki to help him go up and see the situation.

But before he could speak, the latter found a mirror out of nowhere.

Shiraki stretched the mirror into the gap between the door and the wall, and as the angle adjusted, a corpse crouched on the ground with its back against the door was reflected in the mirror.

She was a woman with over-the-shoulder hair, a knee-length skirt, and a dark shirt - although she had taken off her signature sunglasses, she could still recognize that this was the grumpy young lady who first came to the store after Xiaolan left.

……

Ten minutes later, police arrived at the scene, cordoned off the café, and removed the body from the compartment for a simple autopsy.

A small police officer reports what he knows to the Twilight Police Department:

"The one killed was Yayoi Himeno, 24 years old, who was working as a freelancer. The cause of death was a stab in the heart. In addition, there was a strangled fine line on the neck of the deceased. Given the amount of bleeding, she may have been strangled before being killed. ”

When you open the door of the compartment, you will find a window behind the toilet in this compartment.

At this moment, the windows are wide open, and the murder knives and the empty wallets of the deceased are scattered next to the toilets, which is very reminiscent of robbery with the intention of getting rich.

Twilight stared thoughtfully at the window and began to take the bait, "It seems that the murderer is hiding in the cubicle, waiting for Miss Himeno to come in and kill her, and then escape through the window...... Well, go ask if there are any suspicious people nearby! ”

"Uh, wait a minute, Uncle Twilight." Conan's train of thought was not deviated at all, and he quickly discovered the suspicion, "If that's the case, aren't the windows too clean?" ”

Twilight: "Huh? He explained in a tone that taught the bear children, "Of course, the toilet should be clean." ”

"......", hinting at failure, Conan brushed aside Twilight's big hand that tried to touch his head, and his eyes drifted to the white tree, feeling that it was up to the adults to come forward and make the words clear.

However, this unreliable backup is actually playing with his mobile phone, as if he didn't hear Twilight's reasoning at all.

Someone else answered: the crowd at the door suddenly parted to both sides, and the lady in the suit and skirt stepped on her high heels and walked in.

"The little brother is right, judging from the amount of blood from the deceased, the murderer should also be splashed with blood. This window was very narrow, and if he escaped through the window, the blood on his clothes would definitely rub against the window, and the window would not be as clean as it is now. ”

The thinking is clear, organized, and I intuitively feel that there will be a big guy to help in this case.

After following the prestige, he was stunned for a moment, only thinking that this person was very familiar.

After a moment, he suddenly understood the source of this familiarity, "Lawyer Fei! Why are you here? ”

"It's personal privacy." , Fei Yingli raised a smile with just the right arc on her lips, and nodded politely at him, which was counted as a greeting:

"Let's focus on this case first—it seems to me that the prisoner is more likely to have escaped from above the cell than by escaping through the window."

Fei Yingli's words made the Twilight Police Department understand why Conan said that the windows were clean, but at the same time, he had other questions.

The police department is now learning and using it, drawing inferences from one another, "But according to that, there should be blood on the door of the cubicle!" ”

Fei Yingli hugged her chest and glanced at the roll of paper hanging on the wall, raised her hand and clicked at it:

"There are ready-made tissues and water, and the killer can clean up the bloodstained area.

"And no matter where he left from, it shows that this prisoner was quite calm and not panicked when he fled, but he actually left the murder knife at the scene, which is undoubtedly very unfavorable to him, so ......"

The reasoning reached the key point, and Conan habitually wanted to answer.

But as soon as he looked up, he happened to meet Concubine Yingli's gaze. Conan froze, swallowed back the words that had just come to his mouth, and reflexively hid behind the adult, avoiding Fei Yingli's eyes.

After a few seconds, he came back to his senses, and found that Bai Shu was looking down at him with a subtle hatred that iron is not steel, "What are you cowardly?" Pretty aunts don't eat people. ”

"I don't know, I ...... unconsciously," Conan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

At this time, Fei Yingli had already finished her conjecture:

The killer did not take the murder weapon, not because he did not want to, but because he could not: for example, he may have returned to the café after the murder and hid among ordinary guests.

Based on this reasoning, the Twilight Police Department began asking the clerk if they had noticed anyone entering the bathroom.

And Conan and Shiraki, who have always been observing the store, have a say in this point, and they point out the people who entered the bathroom in front of and behind the woman in sunglasses one by one.

It was the few people who entered the store just now: a handsome guy with long hair, an old-school scholar who came to the café to make up papers, a big man who hurt his finger and couldn't wear a wedding ring, and Concubine Yingli.
