Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Inside the Italian restaurant.

Mouri Kogoro is drinking to drown his sorrows, while Haibara Ai is turning grief and anger into appetite.

Kamiya Minazuki and Conan drank together and ate together.

At the table next to them, Okino Yoko and Higo Takasuke were eating and talking and laughing.

The resentment of Mouri Kogoro and Haibara Ai almost made the surrounding temperature drop by several degrees.

...

Time passed for a while.

The waiter Hongjiang Baoren looked at his watch: "Speaking of which, the store manager is really slow. I think it's almost time to come back by this time."

The waiter Banba Lingzi suggested: "Would you like to go look for it?"

Sommelier Yamada Koumichi agreed: "That's right. Hongjiang and I will go to the lounge in the backcourt to have a look. Miss Biancha, I'll leave it to you in the warehouse."

"Ok."

"I see."

Yamada Koumichi took the key to the lounge and went to look for it with Hongjiang Yasuto.

Banba Lingzi went to the warehouse to search alone.

In the lounge.

Asuka Shaya is not here.

Hongjiang Baoren said strangely: "The store manager usually takes a nap on this sofa."

Yamada Koumichi replied: "Because he seems to be a little sleep-deprived recently, so he takes a nap on the sofa."

"Speaking of which, did Mr. Yamada have a dispute with the boss last night?"

"He thinks the wine I bought is too expensive, but after all, it's his store, so there's nothing he can do about it."

Banba Lingzi, who went to the warehouse to look for him, also came back: "He is not there in the warehouse."

Yamada Koumichi said to the two of them: "Then let's wait and see for the time being."

After some time, other employees also searched, but they could not find Asuka Shaye.

Yamada Koumichi was going to search again just to be on the safe side, even in the toilet.

Hongjiang's guarantor volunteered to let him go to the toilet to find him.

This time, Asuka Shaya was found in the lounge.

But Asuka Shaya was lying on the sofa with a blanket covering his body, and he looked like he was sleeping.

Hongjiang Baoren asked doubtfully: "Did he not know that a friend was coming?"

Yamada Koumichi sighed: "There is nothing we can do. Come back and call him in about ten minutes."

Ten minutes later.

Yamada Koumichi looked at his watch: "Almost ten minutes have passed, so I'll go to the backcourt and wake up the boss now."

Yamada Koumichi took the key again and entered the lounge.

At this time, Hongjiang Baoren's cell phone vibrated.

Hongjiang Baoren read the text message: "This is a text message from the boss. Help me bring Higo and Yoko to the warehouse, and try not to attract other people's attention."

Banchang Lingzi said in surprise: "What? He got up by himself."

Hongjiang Baoren put the phone back in his pocket and said, "Then I'll take those two people over."

Honoe Hoshito came to the dining table of Okino Yoko and Higo Takasuke and explained the situation to them.

Mouri Kogoro, who had been watching, wondered: "What's going on?"

Conan also looked over: "They seem to be going somewhere."

Okino Yoko stood behind Higo Ryuyu, put his hands on Higo Ryuyu's shoulders and walked forward.

Hui Yuan Ai said dissatisfied: "Is that female idol too clingy?"

Mouri Kogoro snorted: "It's that football bastard who walks too slowly."

Kamiya Minayuki said disdainfully: "You don't seem to be taller than me, but I can beat this stinky football player."

Feeling depressed, Mouri Kogoro took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket: "Then I'll go to the toilet and smoke a cigarette. Brother Kamiya, are you coming with me?"

Kamiya Mingyue nodded and said: "Then let's go together."

Hui Yuan Ai stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, smoking is usually prohibited in toilets, right?"

Mouri Kogoro frowned: "But when I went to the toilet just now, I smelled a smell of smoke."

Conan said in surprise: "Really?"

"Really, let's go, Kamiya."

Just as Mouri Kogoro and Kamiya Minatsuki went to the bathroom to smoke, they suddenly heard Okino Yoko's scream.

The expressions of Mouri Kogoro, Haibara Ai and Conan changed greatly.

Mouri Kogoro stood up with a whoosh: "It was Miss Yoko's voice just now!"

Haihara Ai and Conan also hurriedly chased after him.

Kamiya Minayuki was very excited now: "It's coming, it's coming, I finally can't help but stretch out my sinful claws."

Mouri Kogoro asked anxiously: "Where were those two people just now?"

Hongjiang's guarantor replied nervously: "The ground, the warehouse in the basement."

"Did that football bastard have evil intentions towards Miss Yoko?!"

Mouri Kogoro was now filled with anger and rushed to the basement warehouse angrily.

"Miss Yoko!"

When Mouri Kogoro opened the door of the basement warehouse, he was stunned.

Okino Yoko looked at the wine rack aisle in horror.

In the field of vision of Mouri Kogoro, a man was sitting on the ground with a pool of blood bleeding.

This person is none other than Higo Ryūsuke's senior, Asuka Shaya.

Higo Ryūyou squatted in front of Asukasaya, shaking Asukasaya: "Brother Asuka, cheer up! Brother Asuka! Brother Asuka!"

Mouri Kogoro and others walked to the body.

Mouri Kogoro felt Asuka Shaye's pulse with his hand and shook his head: "Call the police."

Higo Ryūyou fell to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

Haibara Ai looked at Bigo Longyou worriedly.

And Kamiya Minayuki's demonic whisper reached Haibara Ai's ears: "Is there a possibility that your idol killed the person?"

Hui Yuan Ai's face was twisted, and she glared at Kamiya Jieyue with bared teeth.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat Kamiya Mingetsu, Haibara Ai would be in the morning!

Soon the police came.

The person who came was an old acquaintance, Officer Takagi.

Kamiya Minazuki looked at the tired-looking Officer Takagi and joked: "Hey, Officer Takagi, what's wrong with you, the dark circles under your eyes are so heavy?"

Officer Takagi waved his hand feebly: "Stop talking, I have been very tired recently. The police force of the Metropolitan Police Department is not enough. Now I work overtime every day, and there are many vicious incidents every day. I have been working overtime for more than a month. It has been a long time." Had a good night’s sleep.”

After finishing speaking, Officer Takagi yawned.

Kamiya Minatsuki patted Officer Takagi on the shoulder and said: "Hey, isn't it true that those who are capable work harder? Talents like Officer Takagi must be a little tired. You see how safe we ​​are with you."

Officer Takagi suddenly became energetic: "Listening to what you said, I feel that all the hard work these days has been worth it!"

After hearing this, Haibara Ai rolled his eyes. Kamiya Minatsuki, the culprit, had really bad taste.

Only Officer Takagi, a good old man, couldn't tell that Kamiya Minatsuki was being weird and thought it was encouragement.

After investigation and questioning, Officer Takagi already knew the identity of the deceased and the cause of death.

Asuka Shaye, 31 years old, was presumed to have died between 7pm and 8pm, within about an hour.

The cause of death was bleeding due to severed carotid artery, and the murder weapon was the utility knife that fell next to the body.
