That's not right, haven't you heard my name from Mao Lilan?

Xingchen expressed some doubts?

Then I answered the question anyway.

"Xingchen, what a strange name." Suzuki Sonoko murmured, and then she introduced herself in the same way.

"My name is Suzuki Sonoko, you can call me Sister Sonoko." Suzuki Sonoko squatted down and rubbed Xingchen's head. This feeling seemed familiar, Xingchen complained in his heart.

At this time, Conan also came down from the second floor. Mao Lilan looked up and saw Conan and shouted: "Conan is here too."

"Sister Xiaolan also has, uh." Conan suddenly didn't know how to address her and choked.

"Ran, this is another kid living in your house." Suzuki Sonoko said to Conan who looked very familiar.

"Yeah." Ran Mouri nodded and said, she always felt that Suzuki Sonoko was somewhat hostile towards Conan.

"This kid is just as annoying as that Kudo Shinichi guy. He's not cute at all like Xiaochen." Suzuki Sonoko narrowed her eyes, looked at Conan carefully and said.

“…” Conan.

As expected of a woman with a sixth sense, you are still the best in this regard, Xingchen thought to himself. Although what you said is right, right?

"Let's not talk about this for now. I recently discovered a super delicious dessert shop. Let's go there and eat like this." Suzuki Sonoko suggested.

"Yeah." Mao Lilan responded, then looked at the two people standing beside her who were temporarily at a loss and said, "Conan and Xiaochen, do you want to join us?"

"No, Sister Xiaolan. I still have some things to do." Conan shook his head. He was not in a hurry to solve this case.

Desserts, it seems, are indeed more cost-effective than the case. One is to eat dessert and the other is to solve the case with Conan. Xingchen uses his feet to calculate which one is more cost-effective. Just when he was about to say yes, he felt a sense of resentment from behind, a little cold.

Click, click, click~ Xingchen mechanically turned his head to look at Conan, and Conan's eyes hoped that he would stay. Looking at the wavering Xingchen, Conan thought to himself, no, my only assistant cannot be absent at this time.

"Sister Xiaolan, I have something to tell Chen." Conan pulled Xingchen aside and whispered. Then he made a gesture, which roughly meant that I would give you twice as much dessert after the matter was done.

What were they whispering about? These two little ghosts were so mysterious, and Suzuki Sonoko looked at them curiously.

"Really." Xingchen was suddenly filled with firm belief. After receiving the accurate answer, Xingchen turned around, first showing an embarrassed expression on his face, then scratched his head and said.

"Hehehe, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I won't go." Great, it feels like Conan has taken care of all the desserts for me this month, Xingchen said happily in his heart.

I don't know what the little ghost said to Xingchen. It's really strange that his expression suddenly changed. Forget it, it's better to go eat dessert, Suzuki Sonoko muttered to herself.

"Is that so? Let's go, Xiaolan." said Suzuki Sonoko.

"Yeah." Xiaolan responded, and then told Conan and Xingchen not to go home so late.

"Goodbye, Sister Xiaolan, Sister Sonoko." Xingchen said after waving goodbye to Mao Lilan.

Conan nodded with satisfaction. Every successful detective has a very powerful assistant, just like the relationship between Holmes and Watson.

The two exchanged intelligence and came to the following conclusions.

1. The sound of the victim frequently walking on the balcony on that rainy night proved that he was quite conflicted.

2. The victim was wearing black that day.

3. According to the diary Conan found in the victim's home, the victim had a plan to blackmail the foreman Koto Keigo. But later on, he expressed remorse? This is a very strange way of writing, like encountering a ghost.

It was covered with, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

4. According to the contents of the victim’s phone recordings, there was one recording that was very strange.

Finally, who would write a diary? Xingchen complained in his heart after hearing Conan's description.

So that's it, Xingchen and Conan looked at each other. But they still have to go to a place, the foreman's house.

.....

The two came to the foreman's house and looked for the neighbors who were at home. Finally, a kind neighbor told them that he saw Keigo Koto walking back home covered in mud on a rainy day three weeks ago.

The neighbor wanted to give Koto Keigo his umbrella, but Koto Keigo ran back home as if he had seen a ghost. Conan asked, "Auntie, what color clothes were you wearing that day?"

"Color: black and blue." Auntie said with some confusion.

"Why are you asking this, little boy?" she asked curiously.

"No, nothing. Thank you, Auntie." Conan responded and said, after getting the answer. Conan trotted over to the phone booth.

"Oh, these two kids are really strange." After saying that, the aunt walked back home.

After waiting for a while, Xingchen finally came back from the street where they distributed flyers and shook his head and said, "There doesn't seem to be anything over there. Let's get started."

"Oh?" Conan always felt that Xingchen was hiding something. As soon as he came here, Xingchen said, "I suddenly thought of something and wanted to go over there to take a look. You go and ask first."

On the way to the construction site, Conan stopped by a telephone booth and performed a standard operation in the animation.

First, he used Mouri Kogoro's voice to inform Inspector Megure that he had already found out who the murderer was. Then he called Mouri Kogoro again and used Inspector Megure's voice to inform Mouri Kogoro that there was a development in the case.

Then he made a secret call to Officer Takagi, hoping that he could go to the murderer's house and find something.

After everything was ready, Conan returned to Xingchen and said, "It's done. I told my uncle."

"Well, I must make this criminal pay the punishment he deserves." Xingchen has already put his emotions into it. It seems that solving the case is the more important thing for Xingchen now. Maybe he has already had fun here.

......

At the entrance of the construction site, Officer Murumi arrived first.

He only saw Conan and Xingchen. After thinking for a while, Officer Mume recognized them as the two children who were boarding at Maori Kogoro's house, and said, "Oh. It's you two."

"Inspector Mureme." Conan greeted him and said, "Uncle, he suddenly has something to do. Let's come over here first to set up the things we will deduce later."

"Really, Maori brother. You actually let a child wait." Officer Musume complained in a low voice. He was familiar with Maori Kogoro. With his personality, it was possible that he would let a child come to help.

"Hehe." Conan heard Officer Mureme's complaints as he got closer, and thought to himself, "Haha, uncle might do that."

Xingchen, who went in first, was setting up the props that would be needed to re-enact the crime scene later.

After they stayed there for half an hour, Mizogami Haruto, Iwato Reiko and foreman Koto Keigo arrived at the scene one after another. Because everyone was actually a suspect, but basically they all had alibis.
