Shiliang asked, "But how do you know which household's water pipe it is?"

Yumi replied: "The shape of the faucet in that family's yard is exactly the same as the mark left on the front end of the water pipe."

That means the murderer must have been forced to use the water pipe, but what could be more important than escaping?

Shira continued to ask, "Then what happened? When the murderer was forced into this ramen shop, the three customers in the shop should have had their belongings searched."

“I heard that they seemed to have been taken away by the police.”

"Yes!" Yumi echoed, "They voluntarily cooperated with Meiwako and the others!"

"If that's the case, then one of the three should be carrying something like tape, right?"

"No...no." Yumi tried to move backwards: "Because of the tape, the murderer had already thrown it and the water pipe at me."

"What..." Shiliang was a little disappointed: "If that's the case, you should have made it clear at the beginning."

Conan asked: "So? Do you know what those three people brought with them?"

"I know! I wrote it down after asking Takagi." Yumi took out her phone and clicked on the memo to check: "The items in Ms. Xiao Jin's handbag are from someone who works at the hotel."

"Wallet, cigarettes, lighter, cell phone, chewing gum, handkerchief, tissues, and my house keys."

"As a working man, Mr. Lan puts his coin purse, mobile phone, mask, house keys and glasses case in his coat pocket."

"As for Mr. Big Green, an office worker, he keeps his wallet, house keys, cell phone, company documents and hand towel in his shirt pockets or briefcase."

Yumi spread her hands helplessly: "None of them brought anything valuable."

Shira asked back, "You should have searched this store as well."

Miaozi nodded: "Yes, I have searched everything, but I found nothing."

"Do you have gloves?" Baijiu asked casually, "If there is a thief among the three of you who broke into the house, someone should have gloves or something like that."

"As for the gloves... yes, they are!" Miaozi slammed his palms: "The forensic personnel found a pair of gloves similar to those used in the crime in the sewer halfway."

"But it was heavily contaminated, and it seemed that no one had ever worn it."

Yumi covered her forehead and slumped down, "As a result, it turned out that Miaozi and I were careless and accidentally let the murderer escape."

Yumi clenched her fists. "And we feel very unwilling to see the three suspects released!"

"That's why I continue to investigate those three people relentlessly, isn't that right?"

"No... no, it's impossible..." Sonoko and Xiaolan narrowed their eyes.

This policewoman's personality is really hard to describe. And... a traffic police, why is she here to join in the fun? Is she trying to redeem herself from her crime?

But since we are investigating, we should investigate it thoroughly and vent our dissatisfaction to others... That's...

Sonoko continued, "But the female police officer who handled this case has been coming to this place to investigate every day. Will the murderer come here specifically to eat ramen?"

Xiaolan also expressed her opinion: "If I were the murderer, I would be too scared to come."

Yumi was furious when she heard this: "You mean we were really too careless!!"

Look, it’s urgent again!

"No...no." The two of them quickly raised their hands to signal.

"How could that be, right?"

The lady boss expressed her opinion, her expression becoming serious: "I think Ms. Xiao Jin who works at the hotel is very suspicious."

"What do you mean?" Yumi widened her eyes and turned to look at her.

"Because the woman who was killed worked at the hotel, right? There must be some connection between them."

The boss smiled and joked: "Oh, let's leave this matter to the police and these young people."

"Especially Conan. I believe with his clever brain, he will be able to solve it in no time."

"We have already investigated this." Yumi recalled: "The victim and Ms. Xiao Jin were colleagues who worked in the same hotel."

"But I heard that after Ms. Xiao Jin changed jobs last year, the two of them drifted apart, and it seems that they are not that relevant to this case."

Baijiu was puzzled: "But, since we used to work in the same store, we should know each other's working hours, so it should be easy to break in."

"If that's the case." Miaozi continued the topic: "The same goes for Mr. Big Green. It is said that Mr. Little Blue seems to be a frequent customer of the victim's store."

"Because he often ordered the victim to accompany him drinking, he might have been able to get all kinds of information about her."

"Besides, if it was the victim's work hours, I think Mr. Xiaolan should also know about it, because he worked part-time at a convenience store."

"It seems to be right across from the victim's house, but the convenience store seems to have closed down a few days before the crime."

Oh my god...are these three people related?

"So, those three people really didn't find anything suspicious after the incident?" Yumi confirmed with her boss again.

"Well." The boss held his chin with his hand, thinking and recalling, "Ms. Xiao Jin seemed to say that in order to beautify the skin, she would add a lot of vinegar to the dishes at the beginning."

"Mr. Xiaolan has become someone who only orders dim sum every time he comes."

"As for Mr. Green, it went from one bowl of ramen to two bowls, that's about it at best."

Yumi became disappointed: "It sounds like it has nothing to do with the case."

"Right." Baijiu crossed his legs and stretched out his hand: "So the victim had something stolen by the thief."

"That's exactly what's puzzling." Yumi looked Baijiu up and down, biting her upper lip: "You're quite handsome, aren't you?"

"Handsome guy." Yumi looked at Baijiu and said, "Could you please add my contact information?"

"Thank you for the compliment, I think we should go our separate ways, I'm afraid my girlfriend won't agree." Baijiu smiled and declined: "I think it's better to talk about real things."

"What?" Yumi sighed. "Although there are signs that someone tried to pry open the safe, there are still a lot of cash inside."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Miaozi added, "The same goes for the drawer of the cabinet used to store jewelry. It was obviously turned upside down, but there were still a lot of jewelry left."
