Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

Miaozi scratched his head and said, "Because Yumi seemed to have fallen while chasing the murderer."

"Hahahaha!" The boss laughed heartily: "Yumi is so reckless sometimes."

Yumi heard this and narrowed her eyes: "I just confused the dipping sauce with soy sauce."

The boss smiled and joked, "Being angry will ruin your cute droopy eyes."

"Please, please, are you two familiar with each other? It seems like you have a good relationship." Xiaolan asked with a frown.

The boss's eyes curved into half-moon shapes: "Before the store moved here, she often came here, bringing her boyfriend who wore round glasses with her."

"Boyfriend? Who is her boyfriend?" Baijiu covered his mouth and asked Conan in a low voice.

"He must be referring to Haneda Meijin."

"It's his ex-boyfriend, his ex-boyfriend!" Yumi retorted hastily, her face full of displeasure.

"Really? You two are obviously a good match." The boss said with a smile, touching his belly.

Miaozi covered her mouth and said, "Didn't you two get back together? The atmosphere was very good at that time, and you even kissed..."

"Who cares about that guy? Every time I ask him out, he always says he's very busy to turn me down. It's unbearable!"

Conan couldn't help but feel sorry for Haneda Hideyoshi, and said helplessly: "After all, he is a seven-time champion, I'm sure TV and magazines will be vying for an interview."

"But it's strange." Yumi supported her chin with her hand: "Why do most men who wear round glasses like to eat ramen?"

Sera replied excitedly: "My brother also wears round glasses, and he loves eating ramen!"

"Right?" Yumi agreed, "If he still has stubble, then it's almost 100%!"

"My brother also has stubble." Shira tilted his head: "He is actually quite handsome. As long as he takes good care of himself and wears decent clothes, he will definitely be very popular."

“He always wore a dirty sports coat.”

"Yeah, yeah." Yumi nodded, "You give the impression that you are a repeater, but you are actually very smart."

"Indeed, his memory is also superior."

"I can remember things like phone numbers instantly. My catchphrase is, 'I'm the best in Japan when it comes to remembering these kinds of things.'"

The two of them followed along in unison.

"No! He may be the best in the world!"

The two said in unison.

"Eh?" The two looked at each other in confusion.

Oh my god... Is this a secret code? They haven't realized they are talking about the same person yet?

In a corner where no one was paying attention, Baijiu had unknowingly eaten three bowls of ramen.

"Putting all this stupid stuff aside for now, the reason I fell was because of the water pipe!"

"Pipe?" Conan wiped his lips with a tissue.

Yumi explained: "When I chased him, the murderer threw a two-meter-long water pipe at me. I just tripped over the water pipe and fell."

"It's not because of my reckless personality..."

"What kind of water pipe is that?" Conan continued to ask.

"It was a thick water pipe with a diameter of about 3 centimeters. It was probably what the victim usually used to water the flowerbed, because there was no... "

"At first we thought it was the murder weapon."

I drank the white wine in big gulps, which had a smooth taste and was full of nutritious bone soup.

Licking his lips, he asked casually, "Why do you think it was a murder weapon? Didn't the woman die from a bloody head injury?"

Miao Zi suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "When we first found him, the murderer was swinging the water pipe in circles, swinging it desperately in front of the victim's door."

Miaozi continued to recall: "There were traces of tape on the front end of the water pipe, so we originally thought that the murderer added something and beat the victim to death."

"But there was absolutely no blood on it."

She said she was waving the hose desperately...? Was she imitating a helicopter? Or... was she paying tribute to the man who lassoed horses?

Sonoko scratched his face. "Did he really do this in front of the murdered woman's house?"

"Yes, that's right!"

"In the darkness, he swung his hands so intently that they even made noises. It was as if he was performing some kind of ritual."

"Ceremony?" Yuanzi looked terrified.

"How scary!" Xiaolan trembled all over.

"Isn't it? Because that water pipe is not a murder weapon at all. What else could someone do next to a corpse?"

Baijiu asked, "What was the cause of death of that woman?"

"She was pushed down by someone. She ran into the thief who broke into her house at the door and had an argument with her."

"And then probably when he fell, the back of his head hit the corner of the front step, that's what the medical examiner said."

"But," Shira raised a question: "Isn't there still traces of tape on the front end of that water pipe?"

"In this case, could it be that the murderer added something to the front of the water pipe and waved it to intimidate the victim?"

"She fell down in an attempt to dodge that thing."

After hearing her analysis, Yumi immediately denied it: "That's impossible because the woman was still wearing shoes."

"So it was obvious that he ran into the burglar who came out of the house before entering the house."

"The other party simply doesn't have the time to make that kind of weapon."

Shiliang pursed his lips and said, "That means the murderer installed something at the front of the water pipe after accidentally killing someone."

"In other words, instead of just leaving the crime scene, they attached something to the front of the water pipe and swung it vigorously."

"I guess this is the murderer's top priority."

"Yes... yes, that should be the case." Yumi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

"Is this a secret code?" Yuanzi's sudden shout scared everyone.

She showed a horrified expression: "He must be using sound to signal his accomplices nearby..."

"Tell them! It's not good! Run!"

Yumi covered her ears with her fingers impatiently and half-closed her eyes: "Instead of installing something in the water pipe to make a sound to warn you."

"Why not just call the other person's cell phone? That would be faster, right?"

Baijiu couldn't stand watching and silently added another bowl of noodles: "Besides, if we had already decided to use that kind of code."

"You should have brought something that can make sounds beforehand, right?"

"I don't think the water pipes from that house will be used at all."

"Teacher Yi Yu...you...it seems that what you said does make sense..."

Sonoko and Xiaolan smiled embarrassedly.

At Vermouth's home, she crossed her legs and drank the red wine on the table.

"We didn't find any room registered with the names of Sera or Mari, but—"

"We found three rooms registered under the name of Mari Haneda, and they had only been there for two days."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll stop here."

"That's all we're investigating here? Aren't you going to investigate further?"

“Play the long game and catch the big fish.”

"Again, we must not alert the enemy."
