Chapter 1016: Something Hard That Can Pierce

Chapter 1016: Something Hard That Can Pierce

Yumi Miyamoto said: "Speaking of this, it's a bit strange. Although the safe in the victim's home showed signs of being pried open, there was still a large amount of cash left inside."

"Also, the jewelry boxes were all turned upside down, but there were still a lot of jewelry left."

At this moment, the shop owner suddenly interrupted and said, "Could it be that the earrings are missing?"

Everyone looked over in confusion.

The store owner explained that the victim had also been to the store before his death and had shown off a pair of earrings to him, saying that they were given to him by a regular customer of the store and were worth several million yen.

Normally she was reluctant to wear it, but she took it out specially because it was her birthday that day.

Moreover, the three suspects were also in the ramen restaurant at the time and were ridiculed by the victim, who said that they would never be able to afford such expensive jewelry in their lifetime.

The three detectives' eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that the target of the break-in was most likely the pair of earrings worth millions of yen.

Yumi Miyamoto was furious: "Boss, why didn't you tell the police about such an important matter?"

The shop owner scratched his cheek awkwardly: "I just remembered it. Speaking of which..." He scratched his head, "At the time of the crime, it seemed that in addition to the three customers, there was another customer..."

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked.

Miike Miaozi immediately said, "Wait a minute, when the two of us came in here that day, weren't there only those three people?"

The shop owner said as a matter of course: "Yes, because that person left the shop about 1 minute before the three customers came in. Oh, that person is Yumi-chan's boyfriend!"

"?" Everyone looked at Miyamoto Yumi in surprise, while the latter lowered her head and said nothing.

Perhaps she noticed everyone's gaze, she raised her head and smiled awkwardly, and added some details about what happened that night.

It turned out that after Yumi Miyamoto was tripped by the water pipe thrown by the criminal, Hideyoshi Haneda appeared, but he did not look out of breath and his clothes were dry, so Yumi Miyamoto knew that he could not be the criminal, and did not want to involve him in the case, so she did not mention the matter.

"But," Suzuki Sonoko said hesitantly, "even if he didn't look out of breath..."

"Huh?" Mao Lilan looked at her best friend with some confusion.

Miyano Shiho agreed, "That's right. Letting him go without any questioning is a bit of a dereliction of duty for a police officer."

Miyamoto Yumi was choked, but she couldn't refute it. Suddenly she thought of something and looked at the store owner: "But, since Xiong Ji had been eating ramen in the store when the incident happened, it means that he is completely innocent, right?"

The shop owner nodded with a smile: "That's right."

Yumi Miyamoto immediately glanced at everyone with pride.

Since the man was innocent, no one said anything more.

However, Masumi Sera was a little curious about this person who looked very similar to her brother: "So your boyfriend's name is Kumaji?" This name is quite interesting.

Yumi Miyamoto rolled her eyes and said, "He's my ex-boyfriend." It was obvious that she was very unhappy with Haneda Hideyoshi for rejecting her invitation to a date.

Conan suggested innocently, "In that case, why not give him a call? Doesn't your boyfriend have a good memory? Maybe he still remembers what he saw at the time."

Yumi Miyamoto corrected again: "I said it was my ex-boyfriend!"

But what Conan said made sense, so she had no choice but to take out her cell phone and call Haneda Hideyoshi.

Sera Masumi also took out his cell phone: "In that case, I should call my second brother. After all, he was the one who introduced this store to me. Maybe he has seen those three people?"

Suzuki Sonoko said expectantly, "That's great. Maybe he will know who the criminal is right away."

Everyone knew that Sera Masumi's second brother had strong reasoning ability, although they had only heard it from her.

But since she can be admired by even the high school girl detective Masumi Sera, she must not be too bad.

"Hey, Xiongji..."

As soon as Yumi Miyamoto answered the phone, Hideyoshi Haneda immediately apologized for refusing a date last time.

I really don't know what's going on. When Yumei is on her day off, I'm actually too busy to have time.

Miyamoto Yumi's mind was full of the case, so she didn't care about this. She directly changed the topic to what happened that night.

As a result, a phone call suddenly came in from Haneda Hideyoshi's side. He said something and then cut off the call.

"Hey, Xiongji?" Yumi Miyamoto frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Hello, brother... eh? You're talking to someone important now... hung up?" Sera Masumi was a little confused looking at the hung up phone.

"Hmm? Have you finished the call?" Yumi Miyamoto continued the call.

"···" Yuya was silent. Isn't this too much of a coincidence? As soon as Miyamoto Yumi cut over, Sera Masumi started talking.

As soon as Sera Masumi hung up, Miyamoto Yumi continued speaking.

This strange sense of synchronicity... Could it be that Haneda Hideyoshi is really the second brother that Sera Masumi mentioned?

I have to tell the truth, but I’m afraid we won’t know it in a short time before the two sides meet.

Yumi Miyamoto didn't care about this and continued to ask Hideyoshi Haneda if there was anything he hadn't told her about the criminal that night.

As expected of a guy who claimed to be the best in the world in his memory, Haneda Hideyoshi immediately recalled that when that person was running, he heard a click-click sound.

It's a click-click sound, not a click-click-click sound.

In other words, something must have been stuck on the bottom of one of the prisoner's shoes, something hard that could pierce the sole.

Yuya thought for a moment and asked Miike Naeko, "Did you check the toilet during the search that night?"

Miike Naeko nodded.

"Where's the toilet tank?"

Miike Miaozi was stunned: "Yes, there are, but I didn't find anything special."

Yuya heard this and immediately guessed that the thing was still in the tank, so he quickly ran to the toilet.

Masumi Sera and Conan also guessed something and followed him into the bathroom.

"Eh?"

"etc···"

The others were a little stunned when they saw this scene, and a strange thought flashed through their minds subconsciously - three people going to the toilet together?

It’s okay for Conan to be a child, but isn’t it a bit inappropriate for Sera Masumi and Yuya to be two adults of the same age?

Of course, the three detectives were unaware of the strange ideas that came up in the others' minds. They entered the bathroom and immediately opened the lid of the toilet tank.

After careful observation, I indeed saw something shiny and reflective in the water.

Yuya pinched his chin and said, "Sure enough. And since the criminal is still going back and forth to this store..."

Masumi Sera received: "He hasn't recovered it yet..."

Conan added: "That treasure is worth millions."
