Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Especially Judy.

She's an FBI investigator.

This made Zhiyong very wary of her.

therefore.

At this time, they did not want her to get close to Xiaolan and the other person.

Zhiyong parked the car and walked over.

"Ms. Judy, Ran, Sonoko, what are you doing here?"

I met Zhiyong.

Xiao Lan said happily, "Zhiyong, it's you! I need your help with something!"

Zhiyong asked in confusion, "Do you need my help? What is it?"

Sonoko also said, "This is what happened."

It turns out that because Conan was sick, he had to cancel his plans to go shopping with Sonoko.

Sonoko stayed home and played with Ran.

It's almost noon.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi went out to buy ingredients.

I happened to run into Judy, who was strolling around here.

I just didn't expect it.

Inside the supermarket.

I happened to run into my junior high school classmate, Nanakawa Aya.

She happens to work at this supermarket.

Now, it is Nanakawa Aya who has run into trouble.

So this is the supermarket.

When Qichuan Xuanzhi Class closed down.

The quantity of inventory in the store does not match the quantity sold.

The boss hadn't suspected Nanakawa Aya at all.

For this matter.

The boss even installed surveillance cameras.

However, the surveillance footage did not leave any clues.

For these reasons.

The boss then suspected it was a thief.

However, he spent the entire night in his car outside the supermarket, but did not see anyone enter the store.

Only Nanakawa Aya was the last to close the door and leave.

After the inventory of goods in the warehouse is completed.

The boss then noticed that the quantity was incorrect again.

This is what made him suspect Nanakawa Aya.

therefore.

Just now.

He called Qichuan Xuan over, not only criticized him, but also prepared to fire him.

However, based on her understanding of Nanakawa Aya, Xiaolan firmly believed that Nanakawa Aya would never do such a thing.

However, no favorable evidence can be found now.

If that's the case...

Nanakawa Aya would be accused of theft, even if the boss didn't pursue the matter.

But having such a reputation is not a good thing.

Just now.

As Xiaolan and the other two were pondering this, Zhiyong arrived.

Zhi Yong's reasoning is capable.

Ran and Sonoko have complete faith in each other.

Therefore, I wanted to ask Zhiyong for help.

Zhiyong then asked, "What's missing from the supermarket?"

Xiaolan replied, "There are many kinds, including game software, DVDs, CDs, bento boxes, rice balls, mineral water, cola, oolong tea, and also chocolate and candy."

Zhiyong said, "Since it's said that Xiaoxuan took the things, and there are security cameras in the supermarket, wouldn't it be clear if we just watched the security footage?"

Sonoko also said, "In order to save electricity, the surveillance cameras are automatically turned off after business hours, so there are no related surveillance cameras."

Zhiyong then asked, "Since the boss was monitoring from outside and saw Xiaoxuan leave, how could he not have noticed if Xiaoxuan took so many things?"

Xiao Lan said, "The boss didn't notice, which is why he only wanted to fire Xiao Xuan. Otherwise, he probably would have called the police."

Zhi Yong shook his head and said, "There's no evidence, yet they've pinned the blame on Xiao Xuan. This boss is really speechless."

Sonoko also said, "Yes, that's why we want to help Aya find out the truth and clear her name."

Xiao Lan nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Xuan has such a good personality, there's no way she would steal anything."

For cases like this.

This left Zhiyong a bit scratching his head.

After all, there weren't many clues.

If someone is dead.

Zhiyong could also directly ask the deceased, even if the deceased was a fool.

At the very least, it can provide a clue.

But the current situation...

It was just theft, and it's not something that's been discovered yet.

This really put Zhiyong in a difficult position.

Zhiyong then asked, "Since the problem only occurred when Xiaoxuan was in vocational school, was she any different from other students during that time?"

……

Chapter 619 The Real Thief

Regarding Zhiyong's question.

Xiaolan and the others also asked.

Therefore, they all understood the situation clearly.

Xiaolan replied, "There's not much difference, except that when we leave work, the goods that are delivered are placed in the passageway leading to the toilet. When Xiaoxuan is on duty, she will tidy up the delivered goods, while the others will leave them unattended and let the people who come the next morning tidy them up."

if it is like this.

Nanakawa Aya should be considered an outstanding employee.

However, the boss did not reward him for this, but instead blamed Nanakawa Aya when something went wrong.

Just from this point.

There are no clues at all.

Zhiyong then asked, "Is there anyone suspicious?"

Sonoko also said, "Aya said that among the usual guests, there are three suspicious people."

Zhiyong said in surprise, "Oh, it's all those three people."

Xiaolan replied, "The first customer was a college student-looking man. He would always read game magazines in the store until it closed, and he would only leave after that. He always bought instant noodles or fast food."

Sonoko chimed in, "The second customer, whether he was paying at the cashier or going to the restroom, always let others have their way first. He seemed like a timid office worker. He bought a toothbrush set, a razor, dry batteries, and a towel."

Xiao Lan also said, "The third customer was an old lady with a very stubborn personality. She often came to the store to bargain with the price of her nearly expired bento boxes, but she never bought anything from the store."

Zhiyong asked, "What do the three of them have in common?"

Xiaolan replied, "They all go to the store to use the restroom. About a month ago, the boss yelled at Xiaoxuan in front of the restroom because of a missing item. After that, nothing was stolen. Last night, it was Xiaoxuan's shift again, but something was missing again. That's why the boss is preparing to fire Xiaoxuan."

After thinking for a moment, Zhiyong asked, "So, were all those missing lunchboxes about to expire?"

Xiaolan nodded and said, "Yes, how did you know?"

Zhiyong shrugged and said, "In that case, I know who the thief is."

"really?"

"good."

Several people went into the supermarket.

The boss just finished scolding Qi Chuanxuan.

They came in again after seeing Xiaolan and the others.

The boss said angrily, "I know you want to help Xiaoxuan, but please don't interfere with our business, okay?"

Zhiyong said, "Your business doesn't affect us at all. Besides, you're framing our friend without any evidence. Aren't we allowed to intervene? Or is this all something you did on purpose?"

The boss angrily said, "How could that be? I stole things from my own shop."

Zhiyong smiled and said, "As the saying goes, to catch an adulterer, you need to catch them in the act; to catch a thief, you need to catch them with stolen goods. Which eye of yours saw Xiaoxuan take things from your shop, or did someone else see it? You didn't investigate properly at all. You can't just make Xiaoxuan take the blame based on your own subjective thoughts. Do you know what the consequences would be for a girl like that?"

The boss said, "How could I not have investigated? It couldn't be anyone else but Xiao Xuan."
