The deceased's bracelet was missing, and it was her friend's bracelet.

Is it possible that the deceased exchanged bracelet straps with each other in order to show their deep sisterhood?

It's a possibility, but it's only one possibility.

Without any hesitation, Chu He immediately said goodbye to the old woman and went to investigate the cake shop.

Looking at Chu He's departing back, the old woman picked up a bayberry and put it in her mouth.

Her teeth were already very unhealthy and not suitable for eating this fruit, but she still ate it, and the old woman's whole face wrinkled immediately after eating the bayberry.

The old woman shook her head and sighed: "Compared with bayberry, the sourness in my heart is even more unbearable." ”

………………

The missing Ayumi trio are now in a brightly lit room, and they are doing their homework in good spirits, completely unaware that the people outside are almost crazy because of their disappearance.

Ayumi is very serious about her homework, but Motota keeps turning her head to look around.

Yuan Tai said: "Ayumi, how long have we been here?" ”

Ayumi's cheeks bulged when she was interrupted from studying, and she glared at Yuantai, "Yuantai, you have to do your homework well, and when we go back, we won't be scolded by our parents." ”

Mitsuhiko explained for Motota: "Ayumi, don't be so angry, to be honest, I can't write my homework in this strange environment." ”

Ayumi was silent for a while, and did not continue to scold the two of them again.

She glanced at her watch and saw that they had been in the room for almost two hours.

As they were following Conan around the corner, a masked man stood behind them, and the three little kids were scared enough.

But when the person's mask was taken off, Ayumi and the three found that the other party was a very beautiful big sister.

The big sister's name is Yuko Akihara, a college student, and she directly guessed the intentions of the three Ayumi.

Then she warned the three children not to disturb Mr. Kogoro Mori to solve the case, otherwise Mori Kogoro would be angry and probably angry with Conan.

Ayumi and the three naturally didn't want Conan to be scolded, so they asked Yuko Akihara to keep it secret, and Yuko Akihara agreed.

Yuko Akihara also brought the three back to her home, saying that she herself was a waitress at a karaoke in Nara, and if there was any progress in the case, she would be the first to know, and then she would inform the three of them.

After bringing the three of them home, Yuko Akihara just accompanied them for a while and went out again, telling them to do their homework before going out, and also came with the contact information of their three parents, saying that she would call their parents to inform them that they were with her.

Yuko Akihara has been gone for more than an hour, except for Ayumi doing her homework with peace of mind, Mitsuhiko and Motota have no way to calm down.

Although Yuan Tai is big, he is the most fragile of the three.

He was very unhappy and said: "Ayumi, I just feel that something is wrong, Sister Akihara will leave as soon as she leaves, why did you lock the door!" What if she doesn't come back? ”

The place where Yuko Akihara lives should be a rented apartment, which is very cramped.

If the area of the apartment is only about 20 square meters, such a small space, this house is divided into three, Ayumi and the three of them are in the innermost one, the door is locked, it can only be opened from the outside, and there is no window in the room, Yuko Akihara doesn't come back, they have to stay here forever.

Ayumi replied weakly, "It's very likely that Sister Akihara is afraid that we will run around, and she doesn't look like a bad person, is it possible that she is still a murderer?" ”

Motota and Mitsuhiko scratched their heads and said in unison: "Sister Akihara is so beautiful, how can she be a bad person!" ”

Ayumi raised her chin, "That's fine, what are you still worried about, do your homework!" ”

Motota and Mitsuhiko hung their heads in frustration, and then picked up the pen again.

For fun-loving first-graders, homework is the most hateful thing in the world.

But just because a person is good-looking, he dispels suspicion about that person, even elementary school students, this is really a world of faces.

Not long after Motota and Mitsuhiko picked up the pen, the three of them heard the sound of the key turning to open the door.

It's Yuko Akihara who is back!

The three of them were shocked, and immediately pretended not to hear what was going on outside the window, and started to do their homework.

"Click." The door opened.

Yuko Akihara stretched out her head and poked into the room, smiling, "Oh roar, the three children are serious enough." ”

"Sister Akibara!" The three children shouted in unison.

Yuko Akihara nodded, and then said, "It's almost nine o'clock now, I'll send you back, otherwise your parents will be worried." ”

"Uh-huh!" The three children nodded, immediately packed up their things, and were very happy to be able to go home.

Yuko Akihara took the three of them to the downstairs of the apartment, and she planned to send the three elementary school students to the station to catch a ride.

But at this time, she met an unexpected person.

On the opposite side of the apartment, a man stood.

Yuko Akihara knows this man, but she doesn't know if this man knows her.

She didn't decide to say hello, and took Ayumi and the three of them to prepare to leave directly.

However, a voice suddenly sounded behind her. "Miss Yuko Akihara, what are you going to do now?"

Yuko Akihara turned around and found that it was the man who was standing on the side of the street just now.

Ayumi and the others also turned around, but they were very quiet and didn't make a sound.

"Excuse me, do you know me, gentleman?" Yuko Akihara said with a smile.

The man was also smiling, and he said, "Maybe Miss Yuko Akihara and the three children don't know me, but it's okay, let me introduce myself first, my name is Chu He, I am a detective, and I am investigating a murder case now." ”

Yuko Akihara protected the three of Ayumi behind her, and then looked at Chu He very warily.

She said, "It's a murder at a karaoke in Nara!" I was a waiter there, and today Mr. Noki informed us that we don't have to go to work, I didn't go to karaoke, and I didn't see Mr. Chu He, so I'm sorry just now. But Mr. Chu He, I don't know what happened to you this time? ”

Detectives and police officers are generally able to get the list of employees from the person in charge, so Yuko Akihara doesn't care why Chu Ha knows her name when he first sees her, she cares about another thing.

Chu He, who was originally serious-looking, immediately said with a smile after hearing Yuko Akihara's words: "Miss Yuko Akihara, don't be nervous, I didn't come this time because of the murder, but because of these three children." ”

Ayumi and the three of them were stunned together, what does it have to do with us?
