I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

Shinichi brought a corner of the sandwich to Feili's mouth, watched her take a bite, and then handed the sandwich into her hand.

But Sonoko is not as gentle as Shinichi.

A whole sandwich that was a little bigger than a palm was stuffed directly into Mouri Kogoro's mouth, causing him to choke his throat painfully and almost choke to death.

"Hmm~ This is delicious!"

Feili's face was filled with an expression of extreme happiness, as if her whole body was about to melt.

"Tch~ It's just a sandwich! It just tastes like that!"

As if he was deliberately going against Feili, Mouri Kogoro swallowed the whole sandwich in his mouth and said immediately.

This statement might have been more convincing if he hadn't reached into the cooler again, pulled out a sandwich, and eagerly tore off the plastic wrap and stuffed it into his mouth.

Feili was too lazy to reply at this time, took the sandwich from Shinichi's hand, and ate it one bite at a time.

Chapter 29 Cases are never late (2/4)

　　At noon, Shinichi and others had arrived at the dining area of ​​the gymnasium.

Although he could still eat while sitting in the stands, it was still inconvenient, and apart from sandwiches, Shinichi didn't bring any other food.

After arriving at the dining area, Kogoro Mouri volunteered to buy drinks for several people.

But in Shinichi's opinion, this guy must have deliberately forgotten to buy Fei Mile's share.

"Hmm~o(*￣▽￣*)oThis sandwich is really delicious! No wonder Haruna-chan has that expression!"

Xiaolan finished the last sandwich in her hand, with a satisfied expression on her face.

It's a pity that the game will continue in the afternoon and she can't eat too much, otherwise she thinks she can eat two more.

Just when Xiaolan was still unfinished and was intoxicated by the delicious food, Sonoko who was sitting next to her had a look of resentment, rolling her eyes and staring at Shinichi.

At this time, Xinyi had just opened a letter, which was given to him by Xiaolan.

To be precise, Wada Haruna asked Xiaolan to give it to him.

"Hey~Xiaolan~"

Seeing that someone didn't feel the way he rolled his eyes at all, Sonoko finally couldn't sit still and used his elbow to nudge the girl who was immersed in food fantasies.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Xiaolan asked confusedly when she came back to her senses, only to find that her best friend was pouting, gesturing for her to look in a certain direction.

That direction is Shinichi who is reading the letter.

"Is there anything strange?"

Looking away, Xiaolan still didn't understand. It was just a letter.

This innocent look made Yuanzi say that he couldn't help him, and he wished he could play on his behalf right away.

"Aren't you curious about what Wada Haruna wrote?"

Although he has no practical experience, Yuanzi, a love master with rich theoretical knowledge, is good at guiding the simple little angel.

"What if...it's a [love letter]?"

Leaning close to Xiaolan's ear, Yuanzi emphasized a certain word.

"Oh?! No way~"

Seemingly frightened by the word, the girl let out a exclamation, but quickly realized it and lowered her voice.

"Shinichi has never even spoken to Haruna-chan, so why would Haruna-chan be interested in him?"

For Xiaolan, the relationship with Wada Haruna is not limited to opponents in competitions. They also often chat through text messages in private and exchange martial arts experiences, so the two of them can be called friends.

But as for Shinichi, he only met Wada Haruna a few times when he came to watch her play, and never spoke to her alone. How could this possibly develop to the point of writing a love letter?

"You, you! Don't you know how outstanding your Shinichi is? He's handsome, smart, has a good figure, has a good personality, and is proficient in martial arts... But what about you! You made it for him specifically Share the delicious food with your love rival!"

Relying on his [excellent] reasoning ability in love, Sonoko has already regarded Wada Haruna as herself, no, Xiaolan's love rival in her imagination.

"A love rival is too much, right? It's just a letter, not necessarily a love letter."

Xiaolan still didn't want to believe that this would happen.

When she thought that she might have personally delivered someone else's love letter to Shinichi, she felt confused and subconsciously denied this possibility.

"Do we need to seek confirmation?"

Clenching his fists, Yuanzi looked over with great momentum, making Xiaolan swallow nervously.

"It doesn't seem right to read someone else's letter, right?"

"What are you afraid of! What you want to do, that guy loves you so much, yet he dares to stop you!"

Yuanzi is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and tries his best to encourage Tao.

"That……"

Obviously Xiaolan didn't have the courage of her best friend and was still hesitant.

"cough!"

At this moment, Feili, who was sitting on the other side of Xiaolan, couldn't listen anymore and coughed slightly to indicate his presence.

Because she was sitting very close to each other, she had been listening to the whispers between the two of them just now, but because of the elders' face, she couldn't get involved in the affairs between the young people.

But now the situation is different, this is related to his future son-in-law.

"Xiaolan, sometimes it is necessary to use strong methods against men, otherwise you will be like your father..."

It was obvious that Feili was teaching her daughter the so-called ways of being a husband.

It's a pity that her marital status at this time is really not very convincing.

But it’s okay to use it to bluff Xiaolan and Yuanzi, two new little men who have never been in love.

"That's it! Then I..."

After receiving encouragement from the two closest people, Xiaolan glanced at Shinichi who was sitting across from him reading a letter, and finally made up his mind to prepare A to go up.

But a shrill scream interrupted her actions and attracted the attention of others in the dining area.

……

"The deceased's name is Himeno Yayoi. She was 24 years old this year. She was stabbed into the heart with a knife, and there were traces of strangulation on her neck..."

Officer Megure, who arrived quickly after receiving the alarm call, listened to his subordinate's report and thought seriously.

very good!Nothing came up!

It's not his fault. After all, he had just arrested Seba Tatsunoku and was gathering the team to escort the prisoner back to the Metropolitan Police Department. However, he received a call from Mori Kogoro, so he changed his destination and went directly to the gymnasium.

As for Seba Tundoku, Takagi led people to escort him back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

In Mihua, the police are either at the crime scene or on the way to the crime scene. To be promoted to the position of the police department, Mu Mu is used to it.

The crime scene was a toilet located at the end of the corridor in the dining area, and the body of the deceased was located in one of the stalls in the women's toilet.

"This toilet has no window, which means the murderer was one of the people who ate in the dining area and entered the toilet during this time, right?"

After investigating the toilet that served as the scene of the crime, Megure finally came to some conclusions.

Although the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium is not as large as other large venues such as the Dome, it can still accommodate [-] spectators and is divided into several areas. Naturally, these areas are also equipped with several toilets.

The dining area of ​​the stadium is located in the southwest corner of the venue. Unless they happen to be dining in the dining area, normally no one will come here to use the toilet.

Therefore, Mu Mu's judgment is very reasonable.

only……

"Just tell me, why are you watching me?"

Shinichi glanced at Officer Mu with a hint of disgust.

"Hahaha, um, brother Shinichi, I didn't even eat breakfast today, and then... you understand?!"

To be able to join the police force, Memu is obviously thick-skinned. He slowly approached Shinichi, with two words written all over his plump face.

I want to get off work!

But Shinichi simply ignored his hint.

Sorry, I don't understand!

"What's more, if this case is solved as soon as possible, Xiaolan will be able to participate in the competition, right?"

Seeing that he could no longer pretend to be miserable, Mumu changed the topic and began to adopt roundabout tactics, just like his usual style in the past.

And as he said, everyone present is actually more or less suspect. If they record the confessions one by one, it will take at least two or three hours, not to mention cooperating with other investigations.

When all this is over, let alone Xiaolan's participation in the competition, it will be too early for them to go home before dinner.

Even Officer Megure couldn't give them special treatment. After all, these were formal procedures.

But if Shinichi helps, it will be different.

"Really, in this case, it's okay to let Xiaolan return to the field first."

Shinichi knew this very well, scratched his head, and had no choice but to agree, but he also made a request.

"Well... Brother Shinichi, you know these procedures, and I also..."

Mumu hesitated for a moment, feeling very embarrassed.

Although they are all acquaintances, due to their personalities, Mu Mu has always been selfless. Even though he knew very well that Xiaolan and the others could not have the slightest suspicion, they still had to do what they should do.

"Is that so..."

Shinichi nodded clearly.

He was very familiar with this kind of scene. Due to the death aura, he had often been involved in various cases since elementary school. However, as a primary school student at the time, he would not be regarded as a suspect.

But as he grew older, he began to experience this so-called law enforcement process since junior high school.

It was precisely in order to escape quickly that he started to help solve each case.

"four people."

"Huh? What?"
