Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

"Since you were called here as a detective, you should know more about the situation."

"I also gave you the photos from that time for safekeeping, right?"

"Yeah." Sera shook her fluffy hair.

She took out the photos that Xiaofeng had handed to her in advance, spread them out and placed them on the table one by one.

Yui half leaned forward: "I see, it seems like this is indeed a very strange incident."

Red apples, red roses, red paint, and red tomatoes floating on the bathtub at the crime scene.

All of these will remind people of the situation of the woman in red.

"strangeness?"

Yui noticed something unusual and pointed to the photo beside her.

The photo shows a group photo of the five of them, but it looks like it’s been a while because they still look very young.

"This was taken during the day twelve years ago when Ms. Satoko, a classmate of those people in the living room, disappeared."

"The one in the center of the photo, the one who is silent in the swamp, Ms. Satoko?"

"Yes."

Yui held the photo high up in front of her eyes. "How strange! The girl is wearing a beige cardigan."

"Yes what's the matter?"

"But when the girl was found, she was wearing a long red coat."

"what?"

Suddenly, they felt a chill running into their hearts.

"In fact, the people who found the kitchen knife left behind three years ago next to the girl who sank into the swamp were Officers Yamato and Morobushi, who were still in training at the police academy and on duty at the police station at the time."

"So, after that, they seemed to often argue about whether it was the coat or not, Officer Yamato said with certainty."

"The skeleton found with the girl is not the skeleton of the woman in red."

"But Officer Zhu Fu said that it was almost certain that it was the woman in red."

Yui sighed softly, "But this time, after confirming the identity of the skeleton, it is the woman in red."

She spread her hands helplessly: "Officer Zhu Fu put on an expression that I had expected, but Xiao Gan couldn't accept it at all."

"Little dare?"

Baijiu half-closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose up.

Yui recovered and immediately blushed, raising her hands and waving them: "No... No, I mean Officer Yamato."

Her eyes curved into half-moon shapes, and she explained with a smile, "Because we are childhood sweethearts, I am used to calling him that."

"So...so, they are going to find that."

Yui quickly adjusted her expression and changed the subject.

"Fifteen years ago, the first person to arrive at the murder scene has now quit his job as a police officer and is concentrating on selling small steel balls."

She recalled: "It seemed like she wanted to ask him something."

Inside the mall, Yamato grabbed the boss by the sleeve and demanded, "Isn't it strange that you said that? After the incident with the woman in red."

"They should have searched the forest thoroughly, right? Why at that time? The murder weapon, the kitchen knife, was never found!"

"But I will find it by accident three years later!!!"

"Calm down, Yamato."

Zhu Fu put his hands in his pockets, calm as water, and analyzed: "I think it was buried by the leaves at that time, so it was not discovered."

"Just like when we found it, it was buried."

"But that case has been going on for three years now. Logically, the kitchen knife should be more rusty, right?"

Yamato grabbed his collar, still holding on tightly.

Officer Morobushi put his hands behind his back and said, "Because it's a kitchen knife made of a special material that doesn't rust easily."

Yamato stared at the man in front of him fiercely, and all the saliva he sprayed dripped onto his face.

The man didn't dare to breathe, he was already frightened by Yamato's momentum.

"Even if that's the case, didn't you chase after her immediately after you were slashed by the woman in red?!"

"In that case, you should know that there is a bottomless swamp in the direction where the red-dressed woman fled, right?"

"Why didn't you even look for the swamp at that time?"

"Say it!!! Just say it!!!"

“I…” The man’s mouth trembled, tears welling up in his eyes: “I didn’t chase after him immediately.”

He looked gloomy and lowered his head, avoiding Yamato's gaze: "Because... my legs were weak at the time."

“What did you say?” Yamato also calmed down and let go of his hand.

The man fell to his knees, supporting himself on the ground with his hands, tears streaming down his face. His voice was trembling and filled with fear.

"Because that woman threw a kitchen knife at me, and her face was stained red with the blood of the dead. It was really scary!!"

"Because of this...I was traumatized and quit my job as a police officer..."

"The woman in red...the woman in red, the woman in red..."

The man kept muttering to himself.

Yamato turned around and said, "If that's the case..."

Zhu Fu nodded steadily and picked up his phone: "Yes, it looks like——"

"What?" Yui was stunned for a moment: "You said there is an error in the report?"

"Yes, the uniformed police officer who was the first to arrive at the murder scene of the woman in red was so scared that he accidentally wrote the wrong name."

"Anyway, Gao Ming and I are going to your place now, so you better be careful!"

Yui said in a coquettish tone, "What do you want me to be careful about?"

"Idiot!" Yamato shouted arrogantly, "Don't you understand yet?"

"In that forest there is also——"

"Beep........."

"Oops, my phone is out of battery."

Conan couldn't wait to ask: "Excuse me, what did Officer Yamato say to you just now?"

Yui took the phone back and put one hand on her waist: "He told me about the murder report fifteen years ago."

"It originally said that she was chopped by the woman in red and was allowed to escape, but in fact, it was after the other party threw the kitchen knife."

"He'll take the opportunity to escape again..." Yui couldn't help but feel uneasy.

So that's how it is. Just as I deduced at the beginning, that person was the one who killed Mr. Ma Zi!

As expected, evil spirits exist in this world.

It doesn't exist!!!

Everyone returned to the hut they had been in.

“Senior, thank you for your hard work!”

"How is it? Do you know anything?"

Da Zhuang stood up and said impatiently: "Hurry up and tell me, I'm asking you, do you know who the murderer is?!"

"That... not yet."

"Then what on earth are you doing!!!"

"Peng!!!"

Another flash of lightning flashed outside, shaking the sky.

In a trance, a long-haired woman holding a knife was hiding deep in the forest, secretly watching the cabin.

She licked her lips and gave a wicked smile.
