"This is it, Lemon Bar." Coming to the chome, Takuya Sono went to the lemon bar under the guidance of Maoriran.

In the afternoon, when the people of Tokyo gather for a drink, the bar is open, but there are no customers inside.

The three of them walked into the store, and Mao Lilan was in charge of negotiating with the bartender in the store.

This was specially instructed by Takuya Zong on the way to Maolilan.

"Hello, I'm Mori Kogoro's daughter, Mori Ran.

Has my father been here today? ”

Mao Lilan stepped forward to greet the bartender who was wiping the wine glass, and Xiaolan's appearance that looked obviously like a high school girl suddenly made the bartender Inoue take off his guard.

"Oh! It turns out that you are the daughter of Mr. Maori.

Mr. Maori did come to me today, and he had only been gone for almost an hour. ”

"Did my dad say where he's going next?"

"Well, Mr. Mori only said that he was going to investigate Mr. Kimura's affairs, but he didn't say exactly where he was going."

Inoue thought for a moment, "But I think Mr. Mori should go to a nearby laundry or clothing store, right?" ”

"Oh yes, for the incident of Ling Zun being attacked. I regret not being able to help much. Inoue looked guilty, as if he was really guilty for not helping.

"It's okay, please don't say that." Mao Lilan was still a little tender in the end, and he forgot about his suspicion for a while in the face of the bartender's sincere guilt.

Although Moriran will be confused by the bartender's "crocodile tears", this does not mean that Takuya will eat this set.

To be honest, in the Metropolitan Police Department, Zong Takuya is used to seeing the tears shed by those prisoners.

Some wept bitterly when they were arrested, and some deeply reflected in the interrogation room.

Are they really regretting the mistakes they made?

Apparently not.

The reason why they are remorseful and cry is only because they have been caught.

Sotoya stepped forward and sat down at the bar and came face to face with the bartender.

Sitting down, Takuya looked around and noticed a row of hooks glued to the wall in the bar.

I think it's for hanging clothes for guests.

"That's where Mr. Mori got the wrong clothes with Mr. Kimura?"

The bartender nodded along with Zong Takuya's gaze: "That's right, the guests' coats are usually hung on the wall and put on when they leave."

Because the place to hang clothes is cramped, it is inevitable that accidents like this will happen sometimes. ”

"Then your voice here should be good?" Zong Takuya said meaningfully.

Humans are creatures that like to emphasize the sense of distance, like going to the toilet (referring to males) with a row of urinals if one of them is being used.

In the case of a small number of people, others will automatically consciously go to the pit that is a little farther away.

It's the same with hanging clothes.

They're all regulars at the bar, and there's nothing about the lemon bar having to hang your clothes next to each other.

So if there are few customers, the "Kimura" will not choose to hang his clothes next to the coat of Mori Kogoro.

Unless the business of the bar is good, there is just a hanging next to the gross profit when "Kimura" arrives.

The bartender Inoue obviously thought of this, and said to Sotakuya, "Business is not bad, and the seats here are almost full every night."

Mr. Maori wore the wrong clothes that day, too. ”

"Are the guests all neighbors?" Without giving the bartender time to breathe, Zong Takuya followed up with a question.

"Well, most of them are neighbors who come here for a drink after work.

There are also office workers in the neighborhood who occasionally come here for parties. ”

"I see, by the way, did Mr. Kimura store that bottle of wine here?" Zong Takuya suddenly pointed to the wine cabinet behind the bartender and asked.

Rows of bottles of wine are placed on the wine cabinet, some with name tags on them.

What Zong Takuya is talking about is a bottle of wine that is placed in the middle of the drunkard, which is very conspicuous.

Inoue heard Takuya So's question as if he had been scratched on an itch, and his brief smile flashed away as if it were an illusion.

Then he turned around and took off the wine with Kimura's name tag in both hands: "That's right, that's how Mr. Kimura existed with me."

Normally, Mr. Kimura would have a drink every time he came to the store, and this was the third bottle he had with me. ”

"Really."

Just as the bartender was about to put Kimura's wine back, Takuya Sono stepped over the bar and turned the bottle in the bartender's hand as soon as he reached out.

"Ouch, what are you doing?!"

Before Kun Yan Kun finished speaking, Zong Takuya had already opened the cap of the bottle with one hand and sent the wine bottle under his nose to smell it.

(Do not learn the wrong movements, and use the correct technique to use the air into the nose.) ）

"Sniff"

Zong Takuya tried hard to smell a trace of alcohol from this bottle of wine, but he didn't smell any alcohol from it for a long time.

It's as if the bottle really contained a puddle of water.

Isn't this a drink from gin?

Wrong.

Even if it's a winery, people still have some wine mixed in the water.

Kimura's bottle is simply a bottle of water, how wronged does this person have to drink three bottles of this thing in a row?

"Don't move!"

I don't know when the pistol that Zong Takuya has been holding on his body is in his hand, and the muzzle of the black hole hole is pointed at the bartender in the bar.

The bartender Inoue was now with his hands under the counter, looking like he was going to take something.

"Mr. Inoue, don't be impulsive.

Believe me, your movements must not be as fast as mine.

And this is not the western part of the United States, you don't need to do such a dangerous move as a bartender. ”

Zong Takuya held a gun in one hand and a wine bottle in the other: "Now Mr. Inoue, please slowly pick up your hands from under the counter and put them where I can see them."

If you don't want to see if I'm a real guy. ”

Hearing this, the bartender slowly raised his hands high according to Zong Takuya's words, but his face did not change much: "May I ask where I am exposed?" ”

"You're not showing flaws, you're full of flaws." Takuya Zong was speechless about the bartender's blind confidence.

The questions that Zong Takuya asked at the beginning were well-founded.

First he asked about the bar's business, and the bartender said it was very good.

He then asked about the composition of the bar's customers, and the bartender told him that they were all neighbors.

Since the customers of the bar are all neighbors in the neighborhood, or office workers, why do you give discount coupons to the Maori detective agency?

And this discount coupon is only available to Maori families.

This thing is like fishing, who throws fish food into the water one by one when they fish and make a nest?

Then there is the sake with Kimura's famous brand.

To be honest, the price of wine is very ordinary, and the most conspicuous place in the bar wine cabinet will definitely be expensive and good if it is placed in the wine storage room.

The bartender was embarrassed to lick his face and ask him what was the flaw?
