บท 186: The Suspect
"Hmmm...." Megure looked at the photograph of the murder scene. "According to this photograph..." There was a dead body of a woman, her scattered belongings, and a knife full of blood in the photograph.
"The victim fell down with her back directly facing the door..." Megure said while looking at the murder scene. "Right, Conan-kun?" He turned his head toward Conan.
"Yup! The door was unlocked, but it wouldn't open so I peeked from above to confirm it," Conan said.
"The victim is Himeno Yayoi, a 24-years-old freeter..." Megure looked at the dead body. "She had a knife thrust right into her heart. How horrible..." He shook his head.
"Sir! Inspector!" One of the police suddenly said, "The victim's neck shows faint signs of strangulation."
They looked at the faint mark on the victim's neck.
"Could it be that she was strangled and then stabbed postmortem?"
"No, if she was stabbed postmortem, there wouldn't be such a blood spatter pattern..." Megure shook his head. "I guess the culprit only strangled to knock her out, then stabbed her chest with a knife, pulled it out and caused her to die from the blood loss." He wrinkled his eyebrow and said, "It seems reasonable to think so..."
"Ho-how horrid..."
"I guess the witness was nervous from the having been witnessed. It's the work of a thief who was after her money.."
"An open stall's door and window.."
"Her belongings spread around along with the murderer weapon.."
"An empty wallet.."
"And the victim body blocking the door...."
"The victim got in the window, lurked inside and waited for someone to come in. They attacked Himeno-san who happened to come in, killed her from behind, stole her money, and fled through the window in a rush. That must be what happens," Megure told everyone his conclusion.
"Now, let's search for the culprit!!" Megure told everyone until Conan said something.
"Wait a minute, inspector!!"
"Huh?"
Conan pointed his finger at the window, "Look at the window! Isn't it too clean?"
"Hmm? Can't it be? Isn't it better for the bathroom to be clean?" Megure said.
"That's not what I mean!!" Conan shook his head.
"It's just like what the boy said, Assistant Inspector Megure, oh, you're an inspector now," she said.
Megure and Conan turned their heads at the same time.
"Yo-you're lawyer Kisaki!!" Megure was surprised but he was more surprised to see him, "YUUKI!! What are you doing here?"
Eri and Yuuki came to the murder scene.
"I can't go home, Inspector Megure," Yuuki said with a helpless smile.
Megure shook his head and also felt helpless. They needed to solve this case before letting everyone to go back.
"I'm going to assist you," Eri said.
They talked about what they did in this cafe and then continued to talk about the case.
"Given the amount of blood the victim had lost, the culprit should have blood splatters on them! And yet the window they used to flee doesn't even have a single drop on it! This is unnatural, no matter how you look at it..." Eri said.
"B-but it could also be that they cleaned it off when they fled," he said.
Eri shook her head, "Do you think a culprit who leaves the weapon on the scene and runs off would do that? They left the weapon here because they couldn't bring it back with them," Eri adjusted her glasses, "Yes, the culprit is an insider, someone among the clients. They made it like the work of an outsider and simply went back to their seats afterward..."
Her analysis startled everyone.
"Isn't that what you want to talk about, boy?" Eri looked at Conan.
Conan gulped his saliva and hid behind Yuuki.
"But, Kisaki-san, the door blocked by the body, and there were no traces of it having been moved either and the adjacent stall has no window."
"How did they get out of the stall without using the window?" Megure was confused.
"There is a way out," Eri said while looking upward, "Above."
Megure looked upward and saw, "The gap? You mean, the gap?" He pointed his finger at the gap, "No way an adult could fit through that." The gap was too small for a big man to enter.
"You! Please try climbing up there!" Eri said while pointing her finger at Yuuki.
"Me? Do you want me to climb there?" Yuuki twitched his lips.
"Yes! Do it! In the adjacent stall to avoid messing up the crime scene, hurry up and do it!!" Eri was serious.
Yuuki sighed and did what she said. He climbed up and tried to enter the gap but he could only barely enter.
"See!" Eri said with a satisfied smile.
Yuuki felt that Eri's personality was a bit like Utaha. He missed her right now. He wanted to touch those beautiful legs along with Yukana and Ranko.
"But if the culprit had blood splattered on them, they would've left the mark when they climbed the stall!" Megure rebutted.
"Those two are separate issues." Eri shook her head, "Unlike the outsider who needs to flee. The insider must make it look like the work of an outsider, or else they will be suspected! They must have a trick to avoid leaving any traces when climbing over the stalls.."
"There is also water to wipe off the blood and toilet paper to wipe it out," Eri said.
"B-but what if someone comes in?" Megure confused.
"There is a lock on the entrance door of this restroom, if you lock the door, this will become a locked room and as such, you wouldn't know what anyone did here! ALRIGHT, THE INSPECTOR!! THE CULPRIT IS STILL IN THE STORE!! FIND THEM NOW AND RELEASE THE INNOCENT PEOPLE, WILL YOU!!" Eri shouted.
"Y-yes!!" Megure looked at his subordinates, "HEY INVESTIGATE WHICH CUSTOMERS CAME IN BEFORE THE AND AFTER THE VICTIM!!"
"Ah, I know who it is!" Conan then pointed his finger at each of the customers.
The big man, the person with stubble, the smug bro with his hair tied, then Conan pointed his finger at the only woman.
"This auntie too!" Conan said startled everyone.
Yuuki got a headache since Eri also became the culprit of this case.
"Don't worry, I know you're not the culprit," Yuuki tapped her shoulder.
Eri snorted at him, "Don't worry about me!" She looked away.
Yuuki rubbed his nose wondering why this woman was mad at him.
บท 187: Coincidence
The police started to ask each of the culprits. They asked the reason and the order by which you went into the restroom.
The order was the person with stubble, Eri, the big man, and the last was the man with his hair tied.
"I came here to finish writing a college paper," the person with stubble said.
"I came because I had an appointment with him," Eri pointed her finger at Yuuki.
Megure and Conan looked at Yuuki with a suspicious gaze.
"What?" Yuuki felt offended.
"Are you trying to date a married woman, Yuuki?" Shigure asked with a dangerous tone.
"No way!!" Yuuki and Eri said at the same time.
"But aren't you always meeting with different girls every day, Yuuki-nii?" Conan said, making things even more complicated.
"WHAT? YOU MEETING WITH DIFFERENT GIRLS EVERY DAY!!" Eri was angry.
"Anyway! Let's finish this case first! I'm sure the culprit is still in this case, let's catch him as soon as possible," Yuuki said with serious expression trying to avert the conversation.
Megure and Conan snorted at him and Eri looked very angry at him.
"You need to explain this to me!" Eri said with a fierce expression. She didn't want Yaeko to hurt and she needed his explanation about his meeting with different girls.
Yuuki nodded with a tired expression. He really needed Utaha's legs, Ranko's thigh, and Yukana's underboobs now.
They continued to ask each of the culprits and told them to enter the gap.
Yuuki felt bored and rested his back on the wall. He was waiting for this case to be over since he wouldn't feel good to let Eri here.
"Aren't you going home?" Eri asked.
Yuuki shook his head, "No, I'll wait for you, you're Yaeko's friends, after all, I can't face her if she knew I let her friend alone here."
Eri looked at him up and down, "Well, that's true, you also need to explain to me about your meeting with different girls."
Yuuki wanted to go home but her eagle-like eyes made it impossible to do this. He crouched down to Conan and whispered to him.
"Hurry up and solve this case," Yuuki said.
Conan nodded, "Don't worry, I know the culprit already." He smirked at him.
Yuuki twitched his lips and decided to wait patiently. He watched the drama of Conan moved around to help everyone to find the evidence. He didn't expect it was Eri who told everyone who was the culprit.
"Tonoyama-san! It can be only you!" Eri looked at the big man.
Yuuki looked quietly while walking near Eri. He saw the big man was very flustered. He saw Conan said something to him and made him panic. Megure also told his subordinates to catch him.
"My, my, talk about the crappy culprit, to think he still has such evidence on him, and if that's the case, I can't even defend him on the court," Eri said with a cold tone.
Yuuki nodded and felt Eri's personality was a bit familiar with Utaha.
"HAAAAA!!!!" The big man became angry and pushed everyone. He took out a knife from his bandage finger and wanted to stab Eri.
Eri didn't expect this man to have a weapon hidden. If the man was unarmed, she was confident she could defeat him with her judo skill but when she saw that knife. She felt quite weak and scared.
"DIE!!!" The big man wanted to stab Eri but stopped by Yuuki.
"Wha-" Before the man said anything his cheek was kicked by Yuuki and he flew away.
BAMM!!
Yuuki sighed in relief and turned his head, "Don't provoke the culprit, what if you get hurt?"
Eri felt thankful but her character made it hard for her to say thank you, "Hmm, I can defeat him by myself."
Yuuki shook his head and didn't continue to argue.
The case is over and the big man is being apprehended by the police.
Eri had decided to become his lawyer to help him with his business problems.
Yuuki felt weird with the sudden change of her thought. He saw Conan was talking with Ran and then he also saw Sonoko slap the smug man from earlier.
"Is that your daughter?" Yuuki asked because he saw her keep looking at Ran.
Eri nodded, "Hmm, yeah."
"She is beautiful, I wonder if she is single," Yuuki teased. Eri didn't know about his relationship with Ran.
Eri snorted, "There is no way! I'll let you have my daughter!!"
They were talking to each other until someone called him.
"Ah, Yuuki!!" Ran came to him with a surprised expression.
"Ran, it's a coincidence," Yuuki waved his hand and Eri opened her mouth wide.
"Ran, you can't date this person! Mom won't let you!" Eri grabbed both of her shoulders.
"MOM!!" Ran was surprised to see her talking with him, "Do you know Yuuki, mom?"
"Anyway, I won't let you date him!!" Eri didn't answer her.
Ran blushed, "I'm not dating him!"
"Yes, Ran-nee-chan won't date this guy!" Conan said with a pissed expression.
Eri sighed in relief and looked back at him. She looked quite smug.
Yuuki shook his head and felt tired. He had finished the matter and decided to go home, "I'm going home."
"Wait! Tell me about the earlier matter!" Eri wanted to know about the different girls that both Megure and Conan talked about.
"We'll meet again, I'm quite tired, let's talk at that time," Yuuki left them.
"Mom, do you know Yuuki?" Ran asked her again.
"How do you know this rascal, Ran?" Eri was the one who asked her.
"Well..." Ran started to tell her about her meeting with him.
Eri brought her to another cafe to listen to her story and Conan also followed them with a very pissed expression.
---
Yuuki was waiting for the traffic lights until someone pulled his shirt. He turned around and saw someone he didn't expect.
"Shouko?"
Shouko smiled at him, "Yuouki! Itt bean a will!" She said without doing a hand sign language.
Yuuki also smiled, "Yeah, it's been a while."
