Chapter 192: Kisaragi and Ran

Chapter 192: Kisaragi and Ran
In fact, at this point, the truth has almost come to light.

Everyone else who had used the restroom was here, only Himeno Yayoi was missing.

Although the disappearance of Himeno Yayoi does not mean that she is the murderer, but according to the current situation, there is an 80% probability that she is the murderer.

The police sent people to Himeno Yayoi's home to look for her, but they could not find any trace of her. Everything in the house was scattered all over the floor, and all valuable items and some clothes were gone.

It was obvious that after Himeno Yayoi escaped back home, she packed up her things and left.

Later, the police found Himeno Yayoi's fingerprints on the handle of the knife that fell at the scene.

There is no doubt that she is the murderer.

After police investigation, it was discovered that the deceased Toyama and the murderer Himeno Yayoi were actually lovers, but because Toyama had a wife, Himeno Yayoi had always wanted him to divorce and be with her.

And Donoyama was also forced into a corner, fearing that his affair would be discovered by his wife, so he brought a knife and seemed to want to kill Himeno Yayoi in the cafe.

That’s right, the knife that killed Dianshan was actually brought by him himself. This was also the detail discovered by the police after investigation.

According to their speculation, Donoyama should have wanted to kill Himeno Yayoi in the toilet, but was killed instead.

Himeno Yayoi killed the other person with the knife he brought with him, and then ran away.

However, no matter what her reasons were for killing Dianshan, no matter how desperate she was, it could not change the fact that she was a murderer.

The killer escaped and the police launched a search in Tokyo but could not find any trace of her because she had already left the city.

Not long after, a wanted poster for Himeno Yayoi appeared, but it had nothing to do with Conan and the others.

The reason is simple, because all this will happen later.

Time returns to the present.

Conan walked to Ze Yu's side and asked quietly: "Is Himeno Yayoi the murderer?"

Ze Yu nodded.

"I see." Conan showed a look of understanding.

Now that the murderer has been identified and she has escaped, this has nothing to do with Conan as a detective.

If the murderer was mixed in the crowd, Conan would be confident that he could catch her and solve the case directly, but the current situation is that the murderer is not there.

Faced with this situation, Conan had no choice. After all, catching criminals was the police's job. It was impossible to let a child catch criminals, right?
Conan doesn’t even know where the criminal has gone, so how can he catch her?
In short, the next matter will be left to the police to handle, and Conan is ready to leave.

Putting the case behind him, Conan raised his head and looked at the scumbag, thinking in his mind how to deal with this guy.

At this moment, the door of the cafe was pushed open, Xiaolan hurriedly walked to the side of Conan and Zeyu, leaned down, and said apologetically: "Conan, Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, I'm a little late."

"Sister Xiaolan." Conan smiled innocently, then turned around and looked at the scumbag, and suddenly said: "Brother, what did you just say, 'Just say sweet words and women will be easy to catch'? Why don't I understand?"

Xiaolan frowned and looked at the scumbag with some disgust, then grabbed Conan's hand and took him a step back to distance herself from the scumbag.

"What? Little boy, don't talk nonsense. I didn't say that!" The scumbag grabbed his hair with embarrassment and quickly argued.

Nonsense, if he admits it, his image will collapse. How will he pick up girls later?

Just when the scumbag wanted to continue explaining...

Yuanzi suddenly walked out of the crowd, and her anger was clearly visible on her dressed-up face.

It turns out that this scumbag is not Xiaolan's date, but Sonoko's date. Her eyes burst into anger, and she asked loudly: "Is everything Conan said true?"

"Yuanzi, you're here? This is a misunderstanding..."

Snapped!
Before the scumbag could finish his explanation, Sonoko walked up to him and slapped him in the face, obviously not leaving him any chance.

Then, she snorted unhappily, turned around and left without even saying hello to Xiaolan.

It was as if Yuanzi came here just to give this slap.

"Yuanzi, listen to my explanation!"

The scumbag covered his face with his hands in grievance, wanting to cry but without tears, and quickly chased after him.

"So that's how it is..." Conan, who had already understood what was going on, rolled his dead eyes and watched the farce silently.

Ze Yu stood beside Conan and sighed: "It's a small world. Every scumbag she met was related to Sonoko. Does she have a special physique that easily attracts scumbags?"

"Who knows?" Conan chuckled speechlessly, then instantly realized: "Wait, who is Xiaolan waiting for?"

As soon as Conan finished his whisper, Kisaki Eri came over, stood in front of Xiaolan, and smiled gently: "Xiaolan, why did you come now?"

"Also, I told you not to wear such a short skirt. You'll catch a cold easily."

Seeing this, Conan scratched his head in confusion: "Eh? So the person Xiaolan wants to see is this auntie?"

At this point, Conan remembered that Ze Yu once told him that the person Xiaolan was waiting for might not be a man, but a woman, but this speculation was denied by Conan himself.

But now it seems that Ze Yu's guess was correct. As for Conan, he was too clever for his own good and in the end, he was slapped in the face.

This made Conan blush a little and feel embarrassed.

He had just said that the person Xiaolan was waiting for could not possibly be a woman, but now he was slapped in the face in front of Ze Yu. He felt embarrassed, which was a normal reaction.

"Don't always treat me like a child, Mom!" Xiaolan blushed when she was lectured as soon as they met, and said with a helpless smile.

She was also a little ashamed and embarrassed.

"...?!"

When Conan heard what Xiaolan said, his eyes widened instantly. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak and lost the ability to speak.

This aunt is actually Xiaolan’s mother?

The aunt who used to beat you when you were a child?
This was something Conan had never thought about.

After not seeing her for such a long time, Conan wouldn't have recognized her if Xiaolan hadn't reminded her.

Ze Yu silently held up his phone and took a picture of Conan's shocked expression, then silently put the phone away, appearing to have no presence.

Next…

on the way home.

Kisaki Eri and Xiaolan walked side by side, Sawaha followed beside Kisaki Eri, but Conan hid cowardly behind Xiaolan. He did not have the courage that a famous detective should have, as if he was afraid to face Kisaki Eri.
