I'm making soy sauce in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 1145 No hope, no despair
Although Conan didn't say it, Officer Meguro also deduced what the most critical evidence was.

He was about to send the police to search the house.

But at this time, Xiao Ai said:
"Then look at the triangular corner of the kitchen sink."

These words made the man's expression change dramatically.

Afterwards, Xiao Ai and everyone explained the reason as follows:
"If it were me, I'd hide it there while I'm pouring my coffee."

"That place is dirty and smelly, and generally no one would want to touch it."

"Even if there is no way to destroy the evidence later, there will naturally be someone to help dispose of it."

"Plus it's not the same as a trash can."

"If you want to hide it in another place, it will be easier to recycle."

The familiar words made the man's pupils vibrate.

Facts have proved this to be the case.

Shortly after finishing speaking, Takagi found the key evidence in that place.

As long as the police detected the same toxic substance and the man's fingerprints on it, then the reasoning was fully established.

I don't know if it's because of the evidence or the familiar words.

The man voluntarily admitted his identity as the murderer before the police officer ordered to test the evidence.

Same as previous killers.

After admitting that he was the murderer, the man confessed his motive for killing.

If Guangyou was here, he might guess the man's motive for committing the crime.

Just like the old woman said.

The reason why the man killed Sohei Shima was because of an incident decades ago.

At that time, the man wanted to be independent from the firm and start his own business.

But with the "help" of Sohei Dejima, a senior with a certain reputation and voice in the industry, his venture failed as it should be.

He had no choice but to return to Dejima Sohei's office to work.

In other words, the seed called "revenge" had been planted decades ago.

At that time, the "seeds" had already "sprouted".

At that time, he wanted to do something to kill Sohei Dejima.

But he finally gave up.

The reason why she gave up was because of Minmei's sweet smile at that time.

And the follow-up Minmei's innocent but heart-warming action of hiding the tools they used to work, just to let them rest for a while.

And he decided to do it now because he hasn't given up the idea of ​​starting a business.

But Sohei Dejima seemed to have forgotten the thing that deliberately stopped him back then.

It is said that he is old now, maybe he was fine 20 years ago, it is better to continue to work for him now.

In fact, he also thought about giving up again.

But when he saw Mingmei again after many years, he pinned the reason for giving up on Mingmei.

He wanted to see Minmei's smile again.

After seeing it, maybe he will choose to give up again.

But he didn't see it.

So, he finally chose to commit this case.

When the man finished telling the story, the police took him away.

After that, Conan and Dr. Ali went to the bathroom to look for that thing.

But to Conan's surprise, he found nothing.

He really searched every corner of the bathroom this time, only checking the pipes.

But still nothing was found.

Xiao Ai, who had expected this for a long time, did not feel disappointed after knowing the situation.

There is a good saying:

"Without hope, there can be no despair."

She had expected that this trip would not yield anything.

Naturally, he was already mentally prepared to accept all of this.

After saying "go back early", Xiao Ai left the office first.

When walking towards the door, Conan frowned and whispered to himself:
"My reasoning should be right."

"Could it be that the things were really taken away by those people?"

"Probably not."

Although he didn't want to understand.

But on the way back, he still spoke out his reasoning.

However, Xiao Ai has only one sentence for this:
"But you didn't find it, did you?"

"This means that the thing has been found and taken away by them."

"This"

Having said that, Conan still had expectations.

Because in his eyes, that kind of thing is likely to let him know about those people.

There was silence in the car after that.

Sitting in the back seat, Xiao Ai closed her eyes and rested.

Conan, on the other hand, was wondering where his reasoning went wrong.

Or, that thing was really taken away by those people.

"Guangyou hasn't come back yet."

This was the first thought that came to Xiao Ai's mind after entering the door.

She didn't see Guangyou's shoes in the entrance or in the shoe cabinet.

And today she did not receive a text message from Guangyou asking where she was.

The living room was also quiet.

Conan, who also thought that Guangyou hadn't come back, couldn't help asking:

"What did Guangyou do today?"

Because a case happened halfway.

When they came back, it was already sunset.

The sky has already been dyed orange red by the setting sun.

But Guangyou has not come back until now.

"Are you going to perform some mission?" Conan guessed.

"I'm back in my room."

Seeing that Guangyou hadn't come back, Xiao Ai, who was not in a good mood, left these words, turned around and walked to her room.

After that, Conan curled his lips and complained:
"This man is really"

"You obviously care so much, but you pretend you don't care at all."

"She just doesn't want us to worry." Dr. Ali explained.

"I know."

Conan knew this too.

Just now he just made complaints about it.

At this time, Dr. Ali suddenly heard a "grunt" sound from his stomach.

It may have been summoned, more likely by coincidence.

Immediately afterwards, Conan's stomach also made a "gurgling" sound.

After breakfast in the morning, they set off.

I encountered another case at noon, and came back directly after solving it.

They don't have time to eat at all.

"By the way, Guangyou left porridge for us in the morning."

Thinking of the lunch that Guangyou specially prepared for them in the morning, Dr. Ali said:

"I'm going to heat up the porridge."

"Xinyi, sit down for a while."

"Yeah." Conan nodded.

"cough cough"

A soft cough sounded in the stairwell leading to the basement.

Then there was a sigh.

It was Xiao Ai who made the sound.

She does care about that stuff.

It's a pity that those things were taken away by those people.

If it was about an organization, she probably wouldn't care so much.

But that stuff was about her parents.

In her 18 years of memory, there are really very few memories about her parents.

She wondered what that thing was.

What does it have to do with her parents.

unfortunately
All is gone.

The heavy heart is reflected in her slow and heavy steps.

"Dad, Mom"

She softly repeated these two titles that were unfamiliar to her.

When she opened the door, walked into the room, and saw Guangyou sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, Xiao Ai froze for a second.

Looking at Guangyou with a serious expression, she said in a weaker voice than usual:
"You're back."

"En." Guangyou maintained that serious expression, and nodded in response.

He then patted the edge of the bed beside him and said:
"Xiao Ai, sit here."

It's like a child who did something wrong and was discovered by an adult.

Not afraid of being scolded and hesitated, Xiao Ai sat directly beside Guangyou.

Even so, she kept looking away, avoiding staring at Guangyou.

"What did I tell you this morning?" Guangyou asked Xiao Ai calmly.

The tone of Xiao Ai's reply was also very calm:
"You said I'm still sick, let me stay in the room and have a good rest."

It's just that she's still looking away.

Still didn't meet Guangyou's eyes.
