Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 158 Why...

evidence.

These days, the police pay attention to evidence in handling cases, and the court also pays attention to evidence in sentencing.

If there is evidence, the suspect will not be able to escape and will be sanctioned by the so-called law. If there is no evidence, then even if everyone knows that the other party is the murderer, they will still have to be acquitted.

Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji are so confident because they think they have the evidence that Kogami Mai is the murderer.

But the evidence is gone.

They are sure that the evidence exists, so they think the evidence is gone.

However, Megure Police Department, Mori Kogoro and others don't think so, nor do other students and parents who are watching.

It's not that the evidence is gone, but that they can't produce any evidence at all.

"So, Kudo-kun."

The police department looked at Kudo Shinichi.

This reasoning is led by Kudo Shinichi, so if something goes wrong now, of course it is to find Kudo Shinichi.

"There was no toxic reaction in the hood, do you have anything else to say?"

"..."

Kudo Shinichi didn't speak, because he couldn't figure it out either.

Hattori Heiji also frowned in thought.

He agreed with Kudo Shinichi's reasoning, but now this reasoning is obviously untenable because there is no evidence.

But still said something.

"It must be hidden somewhere else."

"cut."

The Megure Police Department didn't say anything, and Mori Kogoro curled his lips.

"Do you still want to touch all the pockets of this young lady in a dancing dress? Or strip her naked for inspection?"

"This one……"

Hattori Heiji was speechless.

Kudo Shinichi was still thinking, as if he didn't know what to say.

what is the problem?

Ok.

Qingming admitted that he did all of this.

To him, removing all the toxins in the hood of Hongshang's dancing clothes was just a matter of Taoism, and it was not difficult at all.

Including the wallet that Kudo Shinichi handed over to the forensic police.

The results are now out.

"Police, there is no toxic reaction in this wallet."

"I know, hard work."

Megure police department nodded, and took the wallet from the police officer of the Forensic Section.

He looked at Kudo Shinichi again.

"Kudo-kun."

"The police department..."

Kudo Shin opened his mouth.

What he wanted to say was that the murderer was Hong Shang Wuyi. He could be sure of this, and he could guarantee it, even if it was a guarantee with his life.

But he didn't say it in the end.

What happened now was beyond his expectations, and he was completely unprepared. He couldn't even think of a way to solve this problem for a while, and he couldn't find new evidence.

So give up for now.

"Police, you make up your own mind."

"Really? Have you stopped trying?"

"no need."

Kudo Shinichi shook his head.

By the way, Hattori Heiji who wanted to say something was also stopped.

This is the second time he has encountered a similar situation, so he is much calmer than Hattori Heiji, and he is more able to understand that it may not be that simple behind it.

It's just that he doesn't know what the truth is.

If it wasn't for Hongshang Wuyi to hide the toxin-infused ice cubes elsewhere, it would mean that the toxin in her hood had been removed without knowing it.

And looking at the expression on Hong Shang Wuyi, she didn't seem to know this either.

who did it?
Who can do it?
No, it's not possible at all.

It was the clothes Hongshang Wuyi was wearing. If anyone moved her hood, she would definitely find out. After all, it was such a big move to clean up toxins.

That's not something that can be easily cleaned up.

But Hongshang Wuyi didn't find it at all, which means that the other party used some method to clean up the toxin without touching it.

But how to clean without contact?

There's nothing wrong with the hood either, it doesn't look tampered with.

So what is this?
magic?

No, no, there is no such thing as magic in this world.

"It seems that my reasoning is wrong."

He thought so.

However, even he himself is unwilling to believe such an idea, because this is the most reasonable reasoning, no one else can commit a crime, only Hong Shang Wuyi has the possibility of committing a crime.

The problem is that there is no evidence.

"Kudou..."

"Let's look for it again, maybe there is other evidence."

"Ok."

Hattori Heiji nodded.

Then they began to act separately, and they still did not give up looking for the truth.

However, this is doomed to be in vain.

"What a boy who doesn't want to admit defeat!"

Qingming shook her head "tsk tsk".

It's a pity, let's not talk about whether there will be other evidence, even if there is, it is impossible for him to let the other party find out that the person he wants to cover with the dance gown on his back.

Hong Shang Wuyi is a murderer.

But it doesn't matter, because Qingming is not a good person, so he and Hongshang Wuyi are considered to be a team, and they are the opponents of the righteous two high school detectives.

What's more, Hong Shang Wuyi drank three cups of Mengpo soup and coffee, but he hadn't made a wish yet.

Keeping her from being caught would be her wish fulfilled.

"That's the rule."

Qingming smiled.

But such a smile was noticed.

It's Xiaolan.

There are also distant mountains and leaves.

"Qingming, how can you still laugh?"

Xiaolan was not very happy with Qingming's attitude.

They are all dead, and the murderer has not yet been found. Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji jointly failed to find her, and her father did not make any movement.

This is not something to be happy about.

Qingming just shrugged.

"Why can't you laugh? I don't know the dead people, and it's not my fault that I couldn't catch the murderer. I can only say that they are too incompetent, right, little girl?"

"Ah."

Ayumi, who was held in his arms, nodded.

She doesn't know that much, but she understands a truth: what Qingming says is right, then what is wrong is also right; what Qingming says is wrong, then what is right is also wrong.

It's almost like being brainwashed.

In this regard, Xiaolan didn't know what to say.

Yuan Shan and Ye were also a little unhappy.

"Incompetent? You actually said that Heiji, and that Kudo Shinichi is incompetent?"

"Isn't it?"

"What a joke."

Yuan Shan and Ye pouted, expressing their displeasure.

"They are famous detectives. I don't know how many cases they have solved. They are famous all over the country. If they are incompetent, what about you? Can you solve the case?"

"Case solving? You seem to have made a mistake. I'm just a coffee shop owner, not a detective. What does solving a case have to do with me?"

Yes, coffee shop owner.

This is Qingming's personal design for himself. In fact, he can do any kind of job, and he can do it very well.

But he won't do it.

He just wants to be a coffee shop owner, live a quiet daily life in the coffee shop every day, and watch live-action big movies by the way, that's all.

"After all, if I solve the case, it will show their incompetence even more."

"you……"

Yuan Shan and Ye were not only unhappy this time, but also a little angry.

But what Qingming said makes sense.

After all, if Hattori Heiji and Kudo Shinichi as detectives can't solve a case that even a coffee shop owner can solve, isn't it incompetence?
So she has no way to refute.

He just turned his head to the side angrily, ignoring Qingming.

Qingming didn't care about her either.

Seeing this, Xiao Lan felt a little helpless, both of them were her friends, so she couldn't say anything.

Moreover, she didn't think Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji were incompetent, but Qingming's words made sense, so she chose to remain silent.

But "Conan" standing aside, that is, Haibara Ai, squinted at Qingming.

Others don't know, but she still knows.

Although there was no evidence, she did not see what Qingming had done.

But to remove the toxins in the hood quietly and without anyone noticing, no one present except the Taoist priest Qingming was able to do it.

But she didn't intend to expose Qingming.

Neither dare.

She just felt a little puzzled.

Obviously, when encountering things in normal times, they all have the attitude of "it's none of your business" attitude, why did they suddenly intervene this time?

She had seen Hong Shang dance clothes before, so she had a little impression.

And I remember that Hongshang Wuyi didn't make any "wish" at all at that time. After all, she was sitting nearby at that time. It can be said that Hongshang Wuyi just chatted with Qingming once.

so why?Could it be that Qingming has also started to meddle in his own business?Is it the same as that big detective Kudo Shinichi?
