Is this my turn to give a confession, please don't.

They don't even give an appearance fee, what a beautiful idea!I patted my chest and quickly swallowed the rice balls. Because I ate too fast, I almost swallowed the packaging. The tendency to bend down, um, the front toes are slightly raised, and the upper body leans forward slightly... How is this like a posture before take-off.

Because these days I always observe the mafia's fighting and gun posture, acting as a small mess to clean up the battlefield, I often pay attention to everyone's action habits, and I can almost understand the signs before some actions are made.

Tmd, it looks like this guy wants to pretend to be an ignorant naughty kid, so he just comes here to grab it.

I didn't even have time to say the words of refusal, so I quickly stood up, held the list booklet tightly, and stood in a different direction, then looked at Mao Li impatiently: "Your child?"

"It's annoying."

"Sorry, sorry!" Mori Kogoro scratched his hair embarrassingly for a moment, while bowing his waist, he lifted Conan Edogawa with a straight face: "Hey, you guys give me enough time, don't disturb my work!"

Edogawa Conan: "...I'm sorry."

I sincerely apologized. When he was carried away, he turned his head and looked at me, as if he was thinking about something. At the same time, when the two of them passed by the female customer and the boss's boyfriend, they suddenly struggled again: " No, no, let me down, I can walk by myself."

"Ah, my bag!"

The female customer yelled, and her bag was kicked by Conan, and she quickly squatted down and opened the zipper carefully, and finally couldn't hold back her disgusted tone: "This is a new LV bag that I have been customizing for a long time. Bao, can you, a poor kid, afford to pay for kicking it? Really, the limited edition perfume I bought is still inside."

"Oh, I'm sorry, auntie." Edogawa Conan quickly jumped out of Mouri's arms, tilted his head and scratched his hair.

"...Ouba, Obasan?" The female customer twitched the corner of her mouth, looking even angrier.

Edogawa Conan stood there pretending to be a child, and turned his head to look at the boss's boyfriend embarrassedly: "Brother, I'm sorry, I kicked your schoolbag just now, why don't you open it and have a look?"

"It's nothing."

The proprietress' boyfriend was protecting the backpack with one hand, and waved his hand indifferently: "There's nothing in it anyway, so be more careful next time."

"Oh, but big brother, this is a Givenchy brand backpack. It looks expensive. Is it really okay? I'm sorry, you said before that you and your boss sister have been living very frugally."

……

The air was silent for a few seconds.

"Ok?"

Mori Kogoro, who was also apologizing, straightened up, "Hey, my little brother, what's going on? Aren't you living a very frugal life? Speaking of which, you really came here because you heard from the proprietress? "

"Uh, yes...it's true!" The proprietress' boyfriend froze for a moment, the female customer looked straight at him when he heard the words, and the office worker B on the opposite side quickly heaved a sigh of relief when the topic changed.

"I came here because of Xingzi's phone call. We had a phone call around 11 o'clock. There should be communication records in her mobile phone. If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look. Xingzi was still alive at that time."

"At that time, she was in a strange mood. I thought about the protection fee that Sachiko had mentioned to me before. The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. I was afraid that she would be in danger, so I hung up the phone and hurried over from school."

"After I didn't expect to come..."

The proprietress' boyfriend said, knelt down and opened his bag: "Just in case, I also brought some money. This is all my savings."

He took out a stack of small white envelopes from his bag, and I, who was rubbing my stomach, was immediately attracted.

"This bag of mine was a long time ago, and it was a surprise I received on my birthday." The young man was a little emotional when he said this, and he glanced at a few customers across from him: "It's new because this bag is hard-won, so I have always cherished it until now.”

"I never thought that Sachiko would commit suicide suddenly, but when it comes to motives, I can only think of the damned port mafia." The young man covered his face tremblingly, his voice hoarse like dry dry grass.

Mori Kogoro didn't know how to comfort him, so he cleared his throat: "Boy, are you still in school?"

"Yes, I am studying at Yokohama National University."

"It's really not easy." Mori Kogoro patted him on the shoulder, and then changed the topic: "Since you say that, you are the culprit."

"This office worker!"

"Ha, why did you bring it back to me again?" The office worker frowned dissatisfiedly, and suddenly pointed to the female customer who was packing her bag: "Then she must be suspected too."

The female customer stood up in panic: "What does it have to do with me, don't talk nonsense!"

"Because you look the most innocent, and usually this kind of guy is the real murderer!" The office worker said aggressively, "It's really you, and the plan is executed seamlessly!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The female customer looked around angrily, and suddenly pointed to Mao Li next to the boss's boyfriend: "Then the detective is also suspected, who said that the detective can't kill?"

"Hey, miss, you're being unreasonable." Kogoro Moori almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

……

Dude, it's dog eat dog.

I stood silently at the door and watched them pointing at each other. Although I didn't know what they were talking about, I always felt that the next one would point to me, which was so annoying.

"Ah le le?"

In the middle of the quarrel, Edogawa Conan's voice suddenly interrupted their quarrel, "This aunt and big brother, you seem to know each other, is it an illusion?"

"Huh?" The proprietress' boyfriend suddenly lowered his head, with a hint of anger in his tone: "Kids, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm just curious that this aunt clearly glanced at the big brother, but deliberately skipped over and pointed at others." Edogawa Conan didn't flinch, and quickly jumped over to point at them when the two didn't react. The cuff: "And the watch my aunt is wearing should be a couple model of the LONGINES brand?"

"It's amazing, it's all a luxury item."

"Big brother, you also have traces of wearing a watch on your wrist, and it looks like you just took it off not long ago. I want to ask, why did you take it off?"

After finishing speaking, before the young man could react, Edogawa Conan quickly ran to the body of the proprietress, knelt down and rolled up the sleeves of the other's arms, and took the initiative to answer for him: "Probably because, this There is no sign of wearing a watch on the wrist of the owner's eldest sister."

"That is to say, you and your eldest sister are not wearing couple watches."

Conan Edogawa blinked his eyes, and analyzed one after another: "To be honest, it's normal for one of the couples to not wear a watch while the other has it. Not all couples like to wear a couple's watch. But Brother, why did you temporarily take off your watch? This is very suspicious, can I make a guess, for example...you and this aunt are wearing couple models? "

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The boss's boyfriend was startled, and he took a step back while covering his arms: "This is totally inconsistent, what's going on with the kids nowadays, are you talking nonsense?"

The office worker who had nothing to do with himself jumped out quickly, taking advantage of the situation and said: "Okay, it's really a bit tricky, the culprits can't be you two?"

"Do you dare to take out your watch?"

Young man: "I...I don't have a watch at all!"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel with each other again, all kinds of complaints and arguments resounded through the restaurant, until a vicissitudes of life and stern voice suddenly interrupted them——

"Enough is enough, stop arguing!"

Kogoro Mori sat down on a chair in the dining room at some point, with his head lowered in a posture where he couldn't see his expression clearly: "You don't need to argue anymore, I already know who the murderer is."

The air suddenly froze.

The noisy atmosphere in the room was covered by everyone's gasping in astonishment.

……

Whoa, is this coming?

I finally got to the part of "Sleeping Kogoro". I was so bored that I yawned and looked around, but I didn't see Conan Edogawa.

The other party's steady voice continued: "The proprietress died between 11:30-12:00."

"Then, let's sort out the timeline of the whole incident from this—"

"First, at around 11:00, the proprietress and her boyfriend exchanged phone calls.

At 11:15, Conan and I entered this store to order food.

At 11:30, our table was served, and the lady entered the store to order.

At 11:40, the gentleman entered the store to borrow the toilet.

At 12:00, the lady found the body of the female boss, and the little girl over there just entered the store.

A few minutes later, the little brother arrived at the scene of the crime in time. "

"Indeed, from the above, we can see that only this office worker boy was nowhere to be found between 11:30 and 12:00."

"However, his clothes were clean and not stained with dust or dirt, including his hair. Even if he temporarily changed into new clothes and hid the old clothes in his briefcase, his hair would not leave traces, so he might not have crawled. Vent."

"Hmm... You don't look like you're wearing a wig either, and your hair and skin aren't too messy or dirty, unless you hid the tools of crime in the toilet."

The office workers jumped up when they heard the words, opened their briefcases, and even raised their hands to pluck their hair: "No problem, you can go to the toilet to check, including any corner of this restaurant, and I will lose if I find out! It's real hair, more precious than pearls!"

"But you looked so flustered before..." the female customer questioned uncertainly.

"Aren't you talking nonsense! No matter who is suspected, it is impossible to calm down." The office worker uncle rolled his eyes: "I don't want to be involved in inexplicable cases at all, okay?"

"And this little brother."

Mori Kogoro suddenly changed the subject: "You talked to the proprietress on the phone an hour ago, and then came here in a hurry, right?"

"That's right." The boss' boyfriend replied.

"But you seem to have said that you are studying at Yokohama National University? I calculated that it only takes half an hour to get here from there. If you came here by running, you should have arrived at 11:30. So... where have you been for the last half hour?"

The proprietress' boyfriend paused, and was about to explain, but Mori Kogoro interrupted calmly: "Of course, this is very simple. You have probably been thinking about what is wrong with the proprietress for half an hour. It will take a while, and there is a high possibility of delays along the way."

"...Yes." The boyfriend nodded.

"So who is the prisoner?" The office worker opened his hands, and his eyes shifted to me and the female customer: "If you look at it this way, only—"

"You, look at what I am doing."

Facing everyone's scrutinizing eyes, the female customer wiped off her cold sweat in a panic. She clenched her bag tightly, struggled for a while, and then looked at the customers present for help: "Hey Guangxiong, what can you say?"

"Didn't you say that you will give me a satisfactory answer today?"

The proprietress' boyfriend's complexion changed, and he immediately took a step back. He looked away uncertainly: "What do you need me to say, aren't you discussing the case now? I don't know."

"You!" The female customer's eyes widened in disbelief, and the office worker beside him was also shocked, "Hey, wait a minute..."

"What's the situation, who is Guangxiong, you don't really know each other, do you?"

***

The atmosphere has entered into a heated state, several people present looked very emotional, and everyone looked very aggressive, which made me, who was watching the play, want to take the opportunity to slip away.

To be honest, I don't care who the prisoner is at all, I only care about the protection fee!

Unfortunately, Mori Kogoro who was sitting there had already cleared his throat, and he still bowed his head pretending to be contemplative and said, "So, the culprit is already very obvious."

"Then, I will explain to you my reasoning for the whole case."

"First of all, let's assume that the little brother and the female customer are the real couple."

"Huh!?" Without waiting for the female customer to ask angrily, Mao Li's voice followed quickly and said, "No, from the analysis of what the customer lady said earlier, you actually want to break up with the proprietress today, young man."

"After all, comparing the current girlfriend who is struggling to open a small shop with the eldest lady who has a rich family, of course you will choose the latter. Boy, you did talk to the proprietress on the phone at 11 o'clock."

"But that call didn't matter at all, and you, after calling to confirm that she was in the store, got here at 11:30."

"You, what do you mean? I'll sue you for defamation if you make random guesses!" The boss's boyfriend swallowed while clutching the bag, while the female customer asked sharply in disbelief: "He's telling the truth. Yes, Mitsuo!"

As if revealing herself, the female customer covered her head unbearably: "The reason why I came to this dilapidated store was not because you told me that the ex-girlfriend in this store has been pestering you, calling yourself your current girlfriend, you I really can't bear to come here for a showdown today?"

"If I didn't want to monitor whether you were telling the truth, how could I have encountered such a thing!"

"...Isn't it that I'm already old?"

The office worker uncle twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly: "What's going on, this guy is really in two boats?"

"So." Mori Kogoro coughed, "If the hypothesis continues."

"There is no camera in the kitchen here. If we hadn't come, everyone would think it was a suicide. This is too coincidental. If it is assumed that the proprietress committed suicide, then the prisoner can successfully disguise because of the fact that there is no camera."

"To be honest, this matter is very secretive. It is impossible for ordinary customers to know about it. Only people who are familiar with the proprietress can know about it. There is no trace of intentional damage to the camera, so it can only mean...the criminal happened to commit the crime by taking advantage of this. This little girl Brother, you swore before that the camera was broken, right?"

"I said so." The young man swallowed, "But this doesn't constitute a critical reasoning at all, does it?!"

"Of course, but I have one more question."

"Yokohama National University is surrounded by forests. It is said that it is a university built on a mountain. The whole school is famous for its 'forest park'. Your trouser legs are very clean. If you rushed here, why can't you see any mess or sticking to the soil? trace?"

The young man choked, and looked down at his trouser legs with a panicked expression: "That, that's because..."

"I just observed the scene of the crime. The back door of the small kitchen is the only escape exit other than the main entrance. The prisoner should have escaped through that small door after killing the boss in the kitchen and creating the illusion that he was sitting and hanging."

"Then everything is easy to say. I can even point out the evidence. Remember the missing buttons on the lady boss's collar? It must have been dropped when she was struggling, and the murderer picked it up and hid it immediately after finding out."

"The prisoner probably hasn't had time to go back and change his clothes. Brother, do you mind if I go through your bag thoroughly?"

Mori Kogoro spoke aggressively, and his tone became sharp at the end. Although he still kept his head down and didn't move, it gave people a sense of strange tension for no reason.

The motive for committing the crime was pointed out, and the evidence for committing the crime was also pointed out.

The young man who was choking just now protected his backpack, he swallowed inexplicably, and could only back away in a cold sweat...

Suddenly, he suddenly took out a sharp knife from his bag, and the other party ran towards me who was standing at the door, to be precise, the door behind me as if desperately.

"Oops! He wants to run away!"

I don't know who yelled, but the guy had already rushed over desperately with a knife.

……

Stabbing people at the slightest disagreement, it was a coincidence that I won the big prize, I never thought that the case would affect me in the end, I am so screwed.

I regretted my behavior of standing at the door before, but time does not give people a chance to stop. The door is the place to leave. Seeing that the other party is about to stab me, I calmly put away the list in my heart. Responding quickly, he raised his left hand to hold the blade, and quickly took out the pistol from his pocket with the other hand without pausing.

Not daring to waste half a minute in the whole movement, the black gun quickly made two turns in the air like flowing clouds.

Pointing the cold muzzle firmly on the young man's head, I lowered my eyes expressionlessly and sneered: "Do you know the result of making the port mafia unhappy?"

"hiss."

Seeing this, the whole room fell silent instantly, and someone gasped.

The young man's pupils widened in horror, the knife in his hand trembled and fell to the ground with a slap, and he raised his hands in surrender: "You, you are..."

That's right!it's me--

The one who makes you fearful and collects protection fees.

Damn, although what I wanted to say just now was actually "the end of provoking Hong Kong and gangsters", but I won't say it, it's a failure.

I raised my foot and kicked the opponent's knife away to prevent him from picking it up again. I quickly bent down and picked up the paper envelope that fell out of the opponent's backpack with satisfaction. money.

That's right, of course I stopped him just now because he had protection money in his hand!

Otherwise, I would have slipped away long ago, and I wouldn't bother to care about the mess in this store.

"P, PortMafia?" The office worker on the opposite side took a step back in a cold sweat, "I didn't expect it to be such a young girl."

Edogawa Conan, who was hiding at the back, also seemed to be startled, and his expression suddenly became serious: "No wonder..."

Everyone bowed their heads stiffly, and thought carefully about whether they had offended me before with uncertainty, sweating coldly.

"I can't help it either!"

Finally, the young man squatting opposite me seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, hugged his head violently, and shouted in a broken tone: "It's Xingko, it's all Xingzi's fault!"

"I just wanted to have a showdown with her and break up. I didn't expect that she would not be happy, and threatened me that she was pregnant. If I didn't agree, she would find our school and report me."

"How could she be pregnant? She just lied to me. It's all her fault that she came up with such a trick to lie to me!"

……

Brother, can you speak more slowly?

"Unreasonable!" The office worker uncle couldn't believe it, "Your designer bag wasn't given by your girlfriend at all, but it was a 'surprise' from the guy next to you? Isn't this just like being next to a rich woman, and then quickly kicking off the poor wife?" Is it a scumbag?"

The female customer backed away after being extremely shocked: "Liar, how could you do this."

"No, I didn't kill her! I was just angry and put my arm on her neck for a while. I didn't want to use force, but when I realized it, Sachiko...had died..."

When the boyfriend said this, he covered his face with a painful expression: "I don't want to, she is just destined to die at this time, and she deserves to die! It's not my fault at all."

"Tsk, what happened to that wad of money in your backpack?" Kogoro Mori, who was sleeping with his head down, interrupted the other's meaningless remarks, and asked in a low tone, "Did you take it away?"

"Yes."

Up to now, the young man has been a bit broken: "Anyway, if you don't take it, you don't take it for nothing. When I went, she happened to be preparing the money for the protection fee. I really have endured her for a long time, and I have nothing to do with that kind of underground organization." Get involved."

"In order to make her look more suicidal, I not only tidied up the marks of struggle on her clothes, but also took off her apron and put it neatly aside, and wiped off my fingerprints when I pushed the back door out. .”

Mori Kogoro sighed, "But you are not rigorous at all, your words are full of loopholes, because of the rush of time, you didn't even have time to go back to change your clothes after leaving the door, right? I ran into the store, am I right?"

The young man didn't speak any more, but covered his face deeply, trembling and choking.

The matter was almost coming to an end, and the siren even sounded not far away, and there was almost only an uproar in the restaurant.

……

Fuck it, my hand hurts like hell.
