Chapter 154 Sonoko, Listen to Me Say Thank You
Just as Yu Bai was relieved to have escaped a disaster, Inspector Megure on Conan's side had already begun questioning the suspect.
The deceased was none other than Ms. Sachiko Hashigaki, the manager of the cake shop that Conan met at noon.
She was lying face down on the ground, and the cause of death was a severe blow to the back of her head.
The three most likely suspects are the shop's three pastry chefs: Yasuo Fujino, Tsuyoshi Maeda, and Tomomi Morimoto.
Very good, this is a classic three-choice scenario in the world of Detective Conan.
According to them, the first person to discover it was Mr. Tsuyoshi Maeda, who came in from outside by pushing open the door.
Ms. Tomomi Morimoto, who had been indoors the whole time, was completely unaware that the victim was already dead.
As for Fujino Yasuo?
He happened to be carrying a chocolate cake roll made by Conan when he went to find them.
"Inspector Megure, did you call for me?" Upon hearing that Inspector Megure was looking for him, Date Wataru quickly rushed over from Yu Bai's side.
"Yes, Date, have you found the murder weapon that caused the victim's death? It's very likely that it's still in this cake museum." Inspector Megure quickly asked as Date Wataru walked towards him.
"It hasn't been found yet," Date Wataru replied to Inspector Megure's question, shaking his head.
While Inspector Megure was questioning Date Wataru, the three of them started arguing.
Conan listened to their argument and learned that it wasn't just Morimoto Tomomi and Maeda Tsuyoshi, whom he had seen before, who had conflicts with the store manager.
Instead, all three, including Fujino Yasuo, had conflicts with the deceased, Hashigaki Sachiko.
According to Tomomi Morimoto's revelation, Tsuyoshi Maeda borrowed a lot of money from Sachiko Hashigaki.
Fujino Yasuo has always wanted to leave and start his own business, but he has encountered all sorts of obstacles from the store manager and has not been able to leave until now.
Fujino Yasuo was immediately displeased when he heard Morimoto Tomomi insist that the two of them were the murderers.
It was also said that Tomomi Morimoto and the store manager argued every day about the taste and appearance of the candies, and their views were very different.
Everyone has a motive, so the most important thing now is to find the murder weapon. Conan listened to the conversation between the three and the police while pondering this.
He then began his usual "wilderness raiding" mode, leaping and bounding across the entire scene in search of clues and evidence.
Little did they know how obvious his actions were to Yu Bai and Bu Yue, and only the others, who were enveloped by the worldview of Detective Conan, failed to notice anything amiss.
"Toyotsuki, that human is acting strangely," Toyotsuki said, pointing to Conan Edogawa lying on the ground not far away, looking as smug as if he had found some treasure.
"I know, because he's a famous detective who's shrunk." Yu Bai propped his face up with his hands and took a sip of his iced soda through the straw.
"I'll take you to see a good show later."
……
Sensing that it was about time, Yu Bai pulled Bu Yue to stand behind Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi.
Since Kogoro Mouri, the all-purpose tool, is not available this time, we have to send the high school detective, Sonoko Suzuki, to take the field.
Bu Yue stared in shock at the little boy whose body had shrunk due to the drug, whom Feng Yue had mentioned. He then flipped his watch on his wrist, turning it into a scope.
He then injected the short-haired girl who was with him.
The short-haired girl, who was pricked by the anesthetic needle, spun around a few times in a daze and then "coincidentally" bumped into the edge of the table. She then lowered her head and slowly sat down on the round wooden chair next to the table.
The little boy who had just given the girl an injection was now "openly" hiding behind the table, using the voice-changing bow tie around his neck to make the same voice as the girl.
"That's right, the murderer is not Ms. Morimoto Tomomi."
Ran: "Great, Sonoko, you've got another inspiration, haven't you?"
Not Month: ? ? ? ? ? ?
Bu Yue felt that coming into human society with his friend today had completely shattered his understanding of human society over thousands of years.
Even if he were a god, even if he had seen countless Onmyoji, yokai, and ghosts, he had never seen a scene like this before.
It's not that I've never seen humans solve crimes through reasoning, but I've never seen humans solve crimes through reasoning like this!
But when he turned to look at Yu Bai, he found that his friend had an expression on his face that showed he was already used to it.
In an instant, Bu Yue felt: Feng Yue is really amazing! He has so much knowledge, no wonder he is Feng Yue.
Sonoko Suzuki's "deduction show" as a high school detective continues.
"The real culprit is... Mr. Fujino Yasuo, the prince of the cake world! You first called Maeda Tsuyoshi to trick him into leaving the house, and then you confirmed that Morimoto Tomomi was using the juicer."
So you left the kitchen and found the manager, Sachiko Hashigaki, who was there at the time. From the kitchen, you couldn't see what was happening there…
He spent his days hunting geese, never expecting that one day a goose would peck at his eye. Conan Edogawa has always solved cases as a detective, but today he discovers that someone is using him as a tool to prove his alibi.
The murder weapon that Fujino Yasuo used to kill Hashigaki Sachiko was hidden inside a wooden chocolate cake roll he had made before.
It's fair to say that Fujino Yasuo is quite a talent for coming up with such a way to hide a murder weapon.
"Ah~ I'm so sleepy."
With the case solved, Inspector Megure began instructing the surrounding detectives to pack their belongings and prepare to return to the police station.
At this moment, Sonoko Suzuki also woke up from the effects of the anesthetic injection. She yawned widely and then saw that the cake box she had packed and was preparing to take home had fallen to the ground.
She bent down to pick it up, opened it, and saw that the inside of the box was completely burnt: "Ahhh! My little cake, it's all ruined!"
"Alright, Sonoko, we're leaving now. If you really like those two little cakes, you can go get another one now." Seeing her best friend's distress, Xiaolan quickly comforted her.
“That makes sense. Wait for me at the door, I’ll be right back.”
As she spoke, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't wait to return to the scene and start choosing desserts again.
"Sister Lan, let's go to the entrance first."
Yu Bai smiled and urged Xiao Lan to hurry up, because Ida Kou hadn't left yet, and he just wanted to leave the venue as soon as possible.
"Huh? Okay."
Perhaps Yu Bai was having a really bad day, because when they reached the door, they ran into Inspector Megure and his group.
Meanwhile, Date Wataru was standing right behind Inspector Megure. He watched as Yu Bai and the others approached, and his initial thought of looking for Yu Bai was abandoned when he saw so many people around.
Unexpectedly...
"Xiao Lan! Yu Bai! I've repacked the mini cakes!"
……
Yu Bai: Hurry up and go! Don't pay attention to me! (°ー°〃)
Sonoko: Xiaolan! Yu Bai! (Very loudly) (-^〇^-)
Yu Bai: Sonoko, listen to me say thank you... ( ＿ ＿)ノ｜
