"Oversleeping? Ha? It seems that you are Kaneto Hanaoka-sensei? It's really a good meal! After understanding who this person who suddenly broke in from the door was, Ayako Oki, who had not changed at all in the poisonous tongue attribute, raised her eyebrows and crossed her waist to sarcastically.

"Excuse me! I'm really sorry! It was too late in the studio yesterday! I've slept until now, so how about I invite Miss Ayako and these two classmates to dinner? Please Miss Ayako! When the time comes, I will punish myself with three cups, and I will plead with you! How about we negotiate directly without gossiping? In the face of Ayako's cold words, Kaneto Hanaoka was unexpectedly kind, and didn't say anything, just an apology.

Seeing him like this, Ayako couldn't hold him accountable, but she couldn't swallow the evil breath that she had been waiting for more than an hour. After rolling her eyes, Ayako Oki, who had participated in the reasoning club, immediately seized a loophole in Kaneto Hanaoka's words.

"Hanaoka-sensei said that you were busy in the studio until late yesterday and overslept! I believe your explanation, but just now, your assistant Tanaka Sakae called your studio a lot at my urging! You're running out of tapes in your answering machine, right? Mr. Hanaoka, you really slept to death! ”

"Oooh! This one! Actually, I heard it later, but one of my illustrators happened to tell me that she stayed up late last night to finish a work, and asked me to help contact the editorial department to mail the manuscript! I'm too late to get busy! I'm so sorry! ”

"Huh! Mr. Hanaoka is such a good teacher! Forget it, I don't want to pursue the previous matter! Regarding the details of this cooperation between our Kudo studio and your Hanaoka Design Studio, I have already sent you a document before, and all the terms and conditions in it are the conditions of our Kudo studio, for these! Do you have anything to say? Or if you have any questions, I can negotiate with you and answer them for you. Ayako Oki, who smiled disdainfully at Kaneto Hanaoka's explanation, didn't want to dwell on these anymore, and after sitting back on the sofa in the reception room, she put forward her opinion imposingly.

"Ahh I've seen that document! But I personally have some questions, such as ......"

"Huh? Mr. Hanaoka, what's wrong with your little thumb? I guess shouldn't you deal with it before you ask questions? Is that nail polish? You really have a unique hobby! I don't mean to interfere with your hobbies, but in such a serious setting as business negotiations, can you restrain your unique hobby? Just as Kaneto Hanaoka was about to say what he thought about the document. Ayako Oki, who was sitting opposite, stared at his fingers and suddenly raised an eyebrow. Somewhat playfully said.

"What? Nail polish? No way, that's ...... Yes! Excuse me! It's so rude, it's paint! It's paint! Not nail polish! Excuse me! I'll take care of it and wait for me for two minutes! Miss Ayako, I'm really sorry! Kaneto Hanaoka, who heard Ayako's reminder, slowly put his eyes on the little finger of his right hand, and then suddenly jumped up from the sofa like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, ignoring Ayako's face on the other side, and left the reception room in a hurry.

"Tanaka! Butterfly may call me in a moment! You remember to pick it up for me! I don't know, it's my delusion! I always feel that she is in a bad mood, as if she has something on her mind! Kaneto Hanaoka, who left the reception room, did not go directly to the bathroom, but explained to Tanaka outside the door before hurriedly turning around and going to the bathroom to deal with the paint on his fingers.

"This Kaneto Hanaoka is interesting! He seems to be hiding something from us, but it should have nothing to do with our negotiations this time! It seems that I heard the people of this company just now say that he has an ambiguous relationship with that butterfly, right? Maybe it's not a rumor! If I'm not mistaken, that color! It's a nail polish that was just released for sale today, right? Looks like we've broken Hanaoka-sensei's boudoir fun! Hee-hee! Without commenting on Kaneto Hanaoka's sudden overreaction, looking at Kaneto Hanaoka, who was a little flustered outside the reception room separated by a glass wall, Ayako Oki sat on the sofa and commented with interest on the gossip she had just heard.

"Ahh Truly! Sister Ayako said! I also remembered because this color is somewhat unique! Our classmates also discussed it for a long time! This is Kaneto Hanaoka's fingers, and it seems to be the nail polish! But maybe his wife painted it on him! Sister Ayako, isn't it too much for you to say that? ”

"Excessive? Hum! O man! Xiaolan, you're still too young! ”

Just when Ayako Oki was about to popularize her understanding of men to Xiaolan, suddenly Kaneto Hanaoka came out of the bathroom outside and had another moth.

"What do you want to kill yourself? Balcony? Suicide by jumping off a building? Feed! Butterfly! Don't mess around! Kaneto Hanaoka, who received the call from Tanaka, didn't know what he heard, and suddenly his face changed dramatically and he roared. Then everyone's eyes were drawn to him, and then those eyes shifted to the apartment in front of the glass window.

Because Butterfly's room is in the apartment opposite.

"No!"

"Bang!"

"Jumped?"

"Don't call the police yet! Dead! ”

"Yes, yes, call the police! Oh my God, how could it be? She's obviously a very cheerful person! How could such a thing happen? ”

Just when everyone was lying, the corner of Hanaoka Kaneto's mouth, who no one was paying attention, couldn't help but show a strange smile. Perfect alibi, isn't it?

"Click! Click! ”

"The dead butterfly no spring! 25 years old! An illustrator at Hanaoka Design Studio not far away! Witnesses said she jumped to her death from the 18th floor! The on-site investigation did show that she fell from a high altitude and died, so we preliminarily judged that she committed suicide by jumping off the building! The cause of the suicide has not yet been clarified. This is an eyewitness! After explaining the information he knew and the police officers from the Twilight Police Department and Yuichi Kudo, who had arrived later, the forensic officers who had initially investigated the scene hurriedly left the cordon and returned to continue collecting evidence.

"Witnesses? Yo hey! It's all acquaintances! ”

"Yo, hey, you're big! Let's go solve the case! That woman named Butterfly Field, I think it's strange to die! Don't ask me why, it's just a woman's sixth sense! Ignoring Yuichi's joke, he gave him a big roll of his eyes. Ayako Oki, who had been standing at the scene just now, suddenly spoke and reminded him in a low voice.

"Oh? Do you suspect it's not suicide? Hearing Ayako Oki's words, Yuichi's expression suddenly became serious, and after saying hello to Xiaolan and Conan, he pulled up the police line and got in.
