"After he confessed his feelings to me and rejected me, I stopped contacting him."

"Just kidding, just kidding."

"Excuse me! Could you please get me some vinegar from your place? I'm out of it."

A woman with long wavy golden hair spoke coldly. Her facial features were very delicate. Although she had single eyelids, her eyelids were very bright.

She was wearing a dark blue base with a pink jacket draped over her, and had light makeup on her face. She was a hotel lady by profession, so we called her Ms. Xiao Jin.

"Can you help me get the soy sauce over there?" A man with black curly hair, wearing Seven glasses, looking very wretched, and wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt.

He looks like an ordinary working class guy.

We called him Xiao Lan, and he was shaking the empty bottle of soy sauce.

Ms. Xiao Jin narrowed her eyes and said with some dissatisfaction: "I'm talking to you, you won't wait until your can is finished before you say anything."

"Ah?" Xiao Lan was at a loss: "But I'm about to run out of it anyway..."

Next to him was a bald middle-aged man in a green suit, sitting like a Buddha. He sat in his seat in a Buddha-like manner, tapping the pepper shaker with an expressionless face.

We called him Big Green: "This can of pepper is really empty, boss, please change it for another one."

"no problem!"

The three of them each took what they needed, but they all seemed to have unique tastes, and each of them added a lot of seasoning.

Baijiu couldn't help but complain: "You guys added too much..."

"Thank you for your patronage! You are welcome to come again next time!" The proprietress bent down and said sincerely.

"Excuse me." Conan bit off the noodles in his mouth and said, "Did those three people come together?"

"No." The proprietress closed the door and said, "But the three of them are regular customers. They just happened to come at the same time today."

"What?" the lady boss asked, "Are they really suspicious? Those three people."

"Why is it suspicious?"

The proprietress lowered her voice and stated, "It seems that a murder happened just when that guest came."

"Because of this, a lot of police came to our store!"

"Murder?" Conan's lenses began to reflect light and the chopsticks in his hand stopped instantly.

"Boss! Another bowl of noodles!" Baijiu wiped his lips with a tissue, not caring about the case at all.

The boss frowned and recalled: "It is said that a woman who lived nearby was robbed and brutally murdered. The murderer has not been caught yet."

"So?" Shiliang handed the empty bowl to the boss: "Are those three people the suspects?"

"Yes." The boss held his chin with his hand: "The police did say something similar at the time, and it seems that the three people were taken to the police station for questioning."

Xiaolan blinked her eyes: "But, they all came to eat ramen today, which means... they should be innocent, right?"

The boss shook his head: "But the police still seem to be suspicious of them, plus the policewomen with droopy and raised eyes report here every day."

Conan showed a helpless expression: "No way..."

Speak of the devil, Yumi and Naeko pushed the door open and entered the store, looking around.

Yumi put her hands on her waist and asked the proprietress: "What happened to those three people?"

The lady boss asked nervously, "How...?"

"I'm asking you if they're spending more lavishly than usual, or wearing clothes, bags, or jewelry that look expensive."

The proprietress scratched her face and said, "Even if you are generous, we are just a ramen shop after all. Ordering one or two bowls of ramen won't be that expensive."

"What about clothes?" Yumi asked.

“Well…I don’t think it’s that different from before.”

"Ms. Yumi?! Ms. Miaozi!?" Xiaolan greeted excitedly.

"Eh? It's Xiaolan, Conan is here too." Yumi seemed to be used to it.

With her beautiful hands supporting her chin,

"The robber...the murderer was being chased and hid in this store? Was he being chased...by you guys?"

"Yeah." Yumi sighed, "A week ago, Yumi and I were patrolling this area in a patrol car, and we spotted a suspicious person at the door of a certain house."

"He was in the dark, swinging the hose around, spinning it like a helicopter propeller."

My thoughts go back to a week ago.

"The person next to you! What are you doing? Why are you playing with a water pipe alone? " Miaozi parked the car on the side of the road and Yumi asked.

Upon seeing this, the man in black fled in panic.

"Stop right there!" Yumi opened the car door, got up from her seat, and told Miaozi, "I'll run after him first, and you drive to the other side of this road."

"Let's surround them from the front and back!" Yumi swung her arms quickly and ran deeper into the alley.

So, Miaozi hurriedly drove around to the other end to wait for someone, but only Yumi came. It was said that there was a party held in the shopping street that day, so most of the shops were closed.

There were no pedestrians passing by on the street, and the only shop open was this Ogura Ramen with a sign that said "Delicious to Die."

Shira straightened his clothes and said, "Then the customers in the store at that time were the three people just now."

"Yes, then we asked those three people to stay in the store temporarily, and asked Miwako and Takagi to check the house where the suspicious person was found."

Miaozi gasped: "In the end, I found the hostess of that house at the door, lying on the ground with a bloody head and not breathing."

Yumi continued to add: "In addition, the glass windows were broken and the house was turned upside down. The woman worked in a hotel and was returning home from her job."

"The victim was attacked while trying to get something he forgot to bring. From this point of view, we can infer that the victim was most likely attacked by the intruder at the door."

"Two people had an argument, so they were killed."

Conan guessed: "If that's the case, then the last customer who ran into the store in a panic must be the murderer, right?"

"Well..." The proprietress rested her hands on her knees, "Because they came in almost at the same time just like today, and after the three of them came."

"It took some time before the policewoman entered the store."

"Hmm?" Conan tilted his head: "Didn't Miss Yumi catch up?"

The two of them lowered their heads in embarrassment, their faces flushed.
