Hell girl [Comprehensive]

Chapter 18, Meeting Again

Conan experienced earth-shaking life changes in a short half day and one night, and moved into the home of his childhood sweetheart Xiaolan as a homeless child.Early in the morning, because Xiaolan had to go to school, she strongly asked her father Kogoro Mori not to sleep in. Remember to take Conan out for dinner.

Yawning for a long time, Uncle Maori brought Conan to the restaurant, and then saw Yoko Okino's interview filming in the park not far away, and immediately threw Conan on the beige seat in the restaurant, and even If he didn't settle the bill, he rushed to see his Miss Yoko.

Conan chuckled a few words, and in a blink of an eye saw Mana Yagyu who was waving at him with her left hand wrapped in a bandage, holding a strange-looking cat in her arms.

Mana smiled and sat down in front of him, and carefully placed Emily on her lap, then raised her eyes and said to Conan, "It seems that our fate is not shallow."

Because the hand injury has not completely healed, and Emily still needs a little time to get in touch, Mana is not in a hurry to return to Kanagawa so early.After leaving the pet shop and not taking a walk for a while, I ran into an unlucky elementary school student.

Conan paused, and then said expressionlessly, "I now have a new name, Edogawa Conan."

Obviously, Conan still felt a little comfort that Mana Yagyu didn't complain about the name.

But soon a waiter came over and said with a 'smile' on his face, "Are you the guardian of this child?"

The uncle who took the boy ran out suddenly before he paid the bill, so they couldn't stop him. If the kid hadn't stayed here, everyone in the restaurant would have thought that uncle was eating a king's meal.

Conan was very pleased to see Mana Yagyu's distorted expression at that moment.If it wasn't for Uncle Maori who hasn't paid the bill, how could he have stayed obediently in the restaurant for almost half an hour.

Mana just wanted to explain that she had nothing to do with the kid in blue suit shorts and black-rimmed glasses, but after seeing the waiter's seemingly gentle smile and the attention from the restaurant staff, intentionally or unintentionally, she was almost The words squeezed out between the teeth, "How much is the total?"

The smile on the waiter's face obviously widened a bit, "One seafood fried rice, one ramen, and three cans of beer, totaling xxx yen."

Just as Mana took out her wallet to pay the bill, there was a scream in the restaurant, "He's dead!!!"

Mana and Conan quickly looked towards the place where the sound came from at the same time, and saw a young man dressed as an office worker crawling out of the toilet, and said with horror on his face, "There is... someone was killed in the toilet!"

The restaurant suddenly fell into a panic. Mana's first thought was that a murder could happen with only the Shinigami elementary school student alone, but Conan quickly got down from his seat and grabbed the girl who was standing in front of their table. The waiter's apron, "Big sister, hurry up and call the police. Uncle said that we must be obedient until the police come."

In fact, what Conan wants to say is that everyone here is suspicious except him and Yagyu Mana. He just sat here by himself and did nothing. At least he observed everyone in the restaurant, and there was a dead person in the bathroom. , obviously the first crime scene.

But in order to behave more like a normal child, Conan deliberately spoke in an innocent, silly and sweet tone, and forged an image of an uncle.But when he said this, as long as the waiter was not stupid, he could understand what he meant.

When the waitress heard that there was a dead person, she widened her eyes and didn't keep up with her train of thought for a moment. After hearing Conan's words, she realized that she wanted to call the police. She quickly went to the boss and told the police about it.

And after Conan said those things to the waitress, he was going to the bathroom to see the corpse, and he dragged Mana up. Mana looked surprised, "Why do you want to solve the case and drag me in?"

Conan gave her a blank look, "Do you think I, a child, will not be thrown out if someone finds me approaching the corpse?" And it would be best to check the corpse before the police arrive.

Mana was a little dumbfounded, but she still didn't refuse Conan's request, and went to the bathroom with him, taking her cat, Emily, of course.

The owner of the restaurant not only called the police, but also took the initiative to hope that the guests would not leave before the police arrived. The guests gradually calmed down after a burst of commotion.

And after having Mana, who is more like an adult guardian, talk to the person in the restaurant, Conan also got the opportunity to observe the corpse more unnoticed.After all, even if the people in the restaurant don’t have the common sense to try not to get close to the scene and the corpse before the police come, they still know that it is not suitable for children to appear at the murder scene.

The deceased was a handsome and handsome man, but unfortunately, the blood all over his body and the shocked and terrified expression before his death made his handsomeness disappear.Mana was bored watching Conan seriously observing the corpse, clothes, shoes and socks, hair on hands and feet, and when he raised his head, the reflection of the lens showed that he might know who the murderer was.

Conan said to Mana, "Let's go out, the evidence should still be outside."

Although Conan was a little puzzled by the fact that Mana didn't have any overreactions from ordinary people when he saw the corpse, he was more appreciative. Mana Yagyu was very reliable when he didn't speak.

After leaving the bathroom, I heard the siren of a police car coming. The police in Tokyo are still very fast. Thinking about the detection rate of Tokyo in the past few years, Mana understands it. After all, the person who lives here is a mobile phone. God of death.

Several policemen came in, and Conan saw the chubby policeman in a round cap at the head, and shouted in a low voice, "It's Officer Megure."

Ah, it's Kudo Shinichi's acquaintance, Mana narrowed her eyes slightly.

Mana and Conan returned to their seats, ready to wait for the police's questioning.Conan obviously couldn't stay idle at all, so he walked away after a while, saying that he was looking for evidence, and he didn't come back until after Mana accepted the simple questioning of the police.

It turned out that the deceased was a well-known writer named Tetsuya Gutian, 25 years old, and he happened to have dinner here today with his colleagues from the magazine. Masako Kazumori, aged 27 and 24, editor Miki Ogawa, aged 33, and the deceased's assistant Hanadaho, aged 21.

Since the deceased was stabbed eight times with a sharp weapon, and there was no property loss, the police initially suspected that it was a love or vendetta murder. The most serious suspects were naturally the four people he knew in the restaurant.

But the four people seemed to have no doubts, and they also showed reasonable sadness and shock at the killing of Tetsuya Gutian from beginning to end. The police also adjusted the monitoring. All four of them went to the bathroom, and the time was the same as Tetsuya Gutian's death time. The closest one was Noboru Kirishima.

When Noboru Kirishima defended himself, saying that he was Gutian's close friend and it was impossible to kill him, the little assistant Hanadaho said in a low voice, "I'm afraid you're going to hate Mr. Gutian to death."

Kirishima Noboru panicked and furiously said, "Hanata, what are you talking about?"

Takagi, who was taking the question and taking notes, was also a bit serious, and the editor Ogawa Miki, who seemed a bit staid, said, "Hanada, don't talk nonsense." Masako Mori, who was next to him, also whispered, "Mr. Kirishima should Not such a person." There was a slight uncertainty in his tone.

This gave Hanadaho a little more confidence, and said to Kirishima, "This time, Mr. Gutian's new book sales rank above you again, and the qualification for the cover poster of the magazine has also been given to Mr. Gutian alone, and..."

Thinking of something, Hanadaho's voice became smaller and smaller, Takagi said anxiously, "Miss Hanada, what else?"

Hanadaho said with a bit of embarrassment, "There is also the matter of Miss Watanabe."

Kirishima Noboru's face turned pale all of a sudden, his fists clenched tighter and tighter, he lowered his head and stopped talking.Under Takagi's questioning, I found out that Ms. Watanabe was Kirishima's girlfriend, and she was about to talk about marriage, but after a meeting with people from the magazine, the relationship became weaker and weaker. The magazine people still knew At that time, they had many quarrels. It is said that Miss Watanabe wanted to break up, but Kirishima was unwilling.

In the end, Ms. Watanabe broke up with Kirishima. It didn’t take long for someone to see her dating Gutian. During that time, Kirishima and Gutian had a bad relationship, but Watanabe and Gutian separated after a short time together. Magazine The people in the club thought that the matter was over, but now it seems that it may still be a thorn in Kirishima's heart.

Starting with Ms. Watanabe as a clue, Hua Tianho also embarrassedly said that Gu Tian Tetsuya was more philandering and had more girlfriends. Although Hua Tian kept describing Gu Tian as a gentle and talented man, It can't hide the fact that he is just a big carrot who likes to step on multiple boats.

Kirishima suddenly accused Mori Masako angrily, "I hate him, so you should hate him even more."

Mori Masako, who was suddenly burned by the fire, was also very surprised, and quickly waved her hands, "How could I?"

Kirishima sneered, "He abandoned you and made you have an abortion, don't you hate him?"

Takagi accidentally scratched an extra mark on the notebook with the pen he was holding.

Tsk tsk, it's really exciting. Mana, who was sitting far away and listening, couldn't help shaking her head, but Conan propped his chin on his elbow and fell into deep thought.

Masako Mori panicked when her secret was exposed, and Miki Okawa and Hanadaho looked at her differently, "I, I, it's not like this..."

Mori Masako burst into tears and burst into tears. Although Police Takagi sympathized with her, he also understood sensibly that Mori Masako was also suspected of committing the crime.

At this time, the police also found the murder weapon from outside the bathroom window. After inspection, it was found that it was consistent with Mori Masako's fingerprints.

Seeing that Masako Mori was about to be taken away by the police, Conan whispered to Mana, "The murderer is not Masako Mori."

Mana nodded, "Yeah, what then?"

Conan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then I need you to come forward."

Mana: "!!!"
