"Miss Shirakawa, can you please go to the Sea House and ask about the guest who went to buy a swimsuit just now?"

On the resort beach, after Kudo Shinichi was taken away by Yukiko, Akai Shuichi said to Shizue Shirakawa.

He didn't explain why, but Shirakawa knew it too.

The accomplice of the middle-aged man in the car that the two had speculated before had escaped at this time, and it was very likely that he had already taken advantage of the chaos to blend in with the tourists on the beach, waiting for the opportunity to escape.

Therefore, in order to make his disguise more natural, it is quite possible that the accomplice will go to the Sea House to buy swimsuits, swim trunks and even slippers, which are essential equipment for beach tourists.

"I'll go to the entrance and ask the staff if any soaking wet tourists have left the beach in the time since the car crashed into the sea." Shuichi Akai said again.

It seems that he has regarded Bai Ha Jing as a temporary companion to solve a case.

didn't answer him immediately, Bai Hejing first looked at her sister who had been taken by Yukiko under the parasol not far away, and then picked up the water release phone hanging around her neck and opened it to take a look.

The two of her family had sent a new reply.

[Ah Jing, we'll be there in a while.] 】

"Okay."

Putting away the phone, Shirakawa nodded at Akai Shu.

[Just before they come, let's settle the matter here......]

A rare vacation, she didn't want to be disturbed by these messy things.

The division of labor was clear, and the two went to their respective destinations.

“……”

"After the car crashed into the sea, did anyone come to buy swimsuits or slippers?"

At the Sea House, the staff in the store scratched their heads in embarrassment after listening to Bai Hejing's description.

"Well, there seem to be three or four, right? But there are always a lot of customers, so I can't remember their faces......"

"Is that so......" Bai Hejing frowned slightly when she heard this.

"I think there were three of them."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside Shirakawa Jing, and she turned her head to see that it was the boy named Hideyoshi who made her feel a little suspicious before.

"Sister Jing, I've always been hesitant to buy this dress in this store before, so I just noticed this."

Hideyoshi explained with a smile that he did have a trendy-looking T-shirt in his hand.

"Are you sure?" Bai Hejing looked at him and asked.

"Definitely." Hideyoshi nodded, then took out a pair of eyes out of nowhere and put them on, and said with a slight meaning, "As a shogi player, I'm very good at remembering things. ”

"Okay, then please help me find all three people as soon as possible." Without asking anything more, Bai Hejing said.

"No problem."

“……”

didn't follow Hideyoshi to look for people everywhere, and when Shirakawa Jing returned to the place where the middle-aged man's body was placed on the beach, he found that the police had arrived here, and Kudo Yukiko was being questioned by them, looking at her slightly helpless expression, and Kudo Shinichi who was poking his brain into the corpse probe next to him, it was estimated that he was dragged over by her good son who was eager to find the murderer, and then he was arrested and questioned by the police who came just in time.

"No, Mr. Policeman, although I also called the police, but I didn't pick up the body...... Yes! Xiao Jing! Come on! The police are coming! Seeing Bai Hejing, Yukiko hurriedly beckoned and shouted.

"What's wrong?" Walking up to her, Bai Hejing touched her sister Bai Heying's head and asked.

During the time she was investigating, Yukiko had been taking Shirakawa Ying with her.

"This young lady, did you fish up the corpse?" The old detective in front of him asked.

"It's not just me, there's another person."

"And me."

As soon as Shirakawa finished speaking, Shuichi Akai also walked over, and the two nodded to each other.

"There are three people in the Sea House, and that brother will bring them over later." Bai Hejing said.

"Yes, I didn't get anything from there, and the staff at the entrance and exit didn't see any suspicious people." Shuichi Akai replied.

"Hmm...... Can you tell me who you are? The old detective listened to the inexplicable conversation between the two and couldn't help but ask.

"Shirakawa Jing, college student."

Shirakawa Shira's answer was very succinct, compared to Shuichi Akai, who was more detailed.

"Shuichi Akai, a college student studying abroad, happened to be on vacation with his family today."

"You're friends?" After listening to the answers of the two, the old detective asked curiously.

"No, it's just that we just happened to save people together." The two replied.

"Oooh......"

Nodding, the old detective returned to the topic, he pointed to the corpse in front of him, and asked:

"We heard on the police call that there were two people in the car that fell into the sea, where is the other person now?"

"We're looking."

"What does that mean?"

In this way, Shirakawa Shizune and Akai Shuichi took a little time to explain their previous speculation.

"But why did the other man run away quietly?" Listening to the explanations of the two, the old detective asked suspiciously.

"Quite simply, it's because that person has a reason to hide his identity." The corners of Shuichi Akai's mouth rose slightly, with a confident smile on his face.

"That's why it's ...... Hide, hide, hide. ”

"Was there a robbery at a watch shop in this neighborhood before?" His voice fell, and Bai Hejing continued to ask.

"Yes, yes, almost an hour ago, it was a watch shop a few kilometers away......"

was bombarded by the reasoning of the two in turn, and the old detective looked at her in surprise, and his brain was almost confused by the two.

"But how do you know? We shouldn't have let the media report on this matter yet......"

"This is the tote bag we found in that car."

His eyes gestured to the handbag that was placed next to the old criminal policeman, and Bai Hejing explained:

"This bag contains a lot of brand-name watches that don't even tear off the price tags, and although it is possible that the workers who transport the watches, I can only think of these two people in the direction of the robbers if they don't care about the rough transportation method that the watches may scratch."

After Shirakawa finished speaking, Shuichi Akai continued: "So, in the watch store robbery, did any eyewitnesses see the faces of these two robbers?" ”

Conan listened to the reasoning of the two people in front of him, and suddenly felt that his head was big, and there was a frustration that the two of them had already passed quickly before he had time to exert his strength.

"Abominable ......"

And Bai Heying, who was led by Yukiko, was sucking apple juice and looking at him with a troubled face in confusion.

"Well, I'm sorry."

Unconsciously respected Bai Hejing and Akai Shuichi, and the old criminal policeman said helplessly:

"Because both men were wearing hoods and unrecognizable combat uniforms, we could only tell that one of them was a man, and as for the other, it was not even clear whether he was a man or a woman......

[Expected.] 】

Neither of them was too surprised by the old detective's answer, and they had already made arrangements for it......

"Brother Xiuyi! Sister Jing! ”

At this moment, Hideyoshi waved his hand from afar, and behind him, there were three people, two men and one woman.

These three people are the three people that Bai Ha Jing asked him to find before, and went to the sea house to buy swimsuits after the car crashed into the sea.
