Just then, a commotion came from the doorway, and it sounded like Xiaolan's voice.
When Chen Nuo went outside, he saw Xiao Lan standing at the door with her arms outstretched, trying her best to prevent the guests from leaving the scene of the crime.
However, her youthful face and deliberately mature attire made her seem easy to bully and lacking in any intimidating presence.
"Are you kidding me? Are you expecting us to wait here for the police?"
"I knew it, I have to rush to my date later."
"My favorite show is about to start, I don't have time to waste here."
The guests offered their own reasons, all pointing the finger at Xiaolan.
Xiaolan: "But...but the murderer hasn't been caught yet..."
Among this group, the one who caused the most trouble was Tonoyama Jūjū.
He was anxious to run out and remove the bandage from his hand. Once he removed it, even if the police later used the excuse that he had been in the restroom to find him, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Tonoyama Juzo walked up to Ran and said, "Excuse me, I just got a call and have to go back to the rugby club. Could you please move aside?"
Xiaolan: "Could you please wait a moment? The police should be here soon, at least to take a statement..."
"Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm a criminal?"
Dianshan Shisan deliberately acted fierce, and when he spoke, his saliva almost sprayed onto Xiaolan's face.
Xiaolan had no choice but to keep backing away, and soon she bumped into the glass door behind her. The electronic notification hanging on the door kept playing "Welcome".
Seeing this, Tonoyama Juzo became even more aggressive and rammed directly into Ran's chest.
Chen Nuo noticed that Xiao Lan simply held her hands in front of her body and did not adopt a karate stance. It seemed that Xiao Lan was still hesitant to make a move against someone she was unsure whether they were a criminal.
He was just about to walk over and teach Dian Shan a lesson when someone else beat him to it.
“This is not how a gentleman treats a girl.” Eri Kisaki walked over and stood in front of Ran.
Eri Kisaki's voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with an undeniable sense of pressure, like the emotionless tone used when announcing a verdict in court.
Moreover, she was already quite tall, and with the addition of high heels, she was visually just as good as the tall and imposing Dian Shan.
Rugby coach Juzo Tonoyama was so intimidated by Eri Kisaki's imposing presence that he took a few steps back.
Feeling guilty after killing someone, his tone softened slightly: "I just want to leave here. I really have something to do. Can I go first?"
"I'm sorry, no." Eri Kisaki took out her agency's business card and showed it to everyone present. "Because this case is quite special, if we let the murderer leave at this time, he might destroy the evidence. So we have to ask everyone to stay here for the time being and wait for the police to come and investigate."
If you have any questions about my actions, you can come to my office afterwards, and I will provide a reasonable explanation.
Eri Kisaki's powerful aura made her words very persuasive.
Although the customers present were reluctant, they at least temporarily abandoned their idea of forcibly leaving and returned to their seats to wait for the Metropolitan Police Department to arrive.
However, Tonoyama Juzo wasn't among them. He was now eager to destroy the bandages stained with the deceased's blood before the police left.
So Tonoyama Juzo continued to argue, "Why can't I leave? You're not from the Metropolitan Police Department, you have no right to detain everyone here."
He cleverly tried to incite other people's emotions.
Chen Nuo walked over and patted him on the shoulder, smiling as he said, "Since you're in such a hurry, I'll get everyone out of here as soon as possible."
"What do you mean by that?" Dian Shan frowned.
Eri Kisaki also looked at Chen Nuo with a curious gaze.
“Because you are the murderer, Mr. Tonoyama,” Chen Nuo said calmly. “Once you are arrested, the other guests can leave.”
Dianshan Shisan was startled by these words, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
However, he quickly regained his composure and confronted Chen Nuo: "What are you talking about? That was a secret room, and what evidence do you have to prove that I killed him?"
Chen Nuo: "The evidence is right in your hands. If I'm not mistaken, that bandage should be stained with the deceased's blood, right?"
In front of everyone, Chen Nuo quickly recounted what had happened.
Although Dian Shan Shisan was tall and burly, his mental fortitude was average, and he quickly knelt on the ground and began to repent.
He tearfully accused the deceased of being a vicious woman who forced him to divorce his wife, claiming he had no choice but to kill her.
Chen Nuo bypassed Dian Shan Thirteen and came to the corpse.
Soon, a ball of green light flew towards his face.
Because there were too many people here, Chen Nuo didn't go into the mine interface to check, but he still couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face.
Unbeknownst to him, Conan was looking at him with an extremely complicated expression.
Conan couldn't understand why this guy solved cases so quickly; it felt like there was a script.
He had clearly put all his energy into solving the case this time, and even pretended not to see when Xiaolan was being harassed.
The goal is to find the clues as soon as possible and defeat Chen Nuo.
Just as he vaguely guessed that the method used to create this secret room might be related to this door, he was hiding in the toilet studying it.
Chen Nuo led the murderer in directly, as if pointing out a crime scene.
The facts of the murderer's crime were stated without any basis.
Conan looked at the man kneeling on the ground, wiping away tears and complaining about being entangled by a vicious woman, and thought to himself, "What kind of murderer are you, acting like this?"
He deserved to be caught.
.
After the matter was over, the group came out of the coffee shop.
Chen Nuo intended to take his leave, but Fei Yingli insisted on pulling him back, saying she wanted to talk to him about the case some more.
Chen Nuo had no choice but to accompany Eri and Ran shopping and took the initiative to carry their bags.
Xiaolan's expression was a little unnatural, but she didn't say anything more.
Conan, on the other hand, glared at Chen Nuo with a dissatisfied expression, making sarcastic remarks from time to time, and always trying to steer the conversation towards Shiho Miyano, his intentions were all too obvious.
This made Chen Nuo a little unhappy. He thought to himself, "I didn't do anything to you, so why are you treating me like a thief?"
So Chen Nuo launched a counterattack against Conan.
Since Conan is just a child, he can't just beat him up without a reason. Besides, Conan is very clever and behaved exceptionally well today, not giving Chen Nuo a chance to properly discipline the child.
However, this was no challenge for Chen Nuo.
You yourself have no flaws, and you still have Xiaolan, don't you?
So whenever Xiaolan tried on clothes in the mall, Chen Nuo would shower her with compliments, making her blush.
In addition, he used the excuse that he was carrying shopping bags to get Xiaolan to feed him ice cream cones.
Conan gritted his teeth in anger, his glasses reflecting a green light, but there was nothing he could do about Chen Nuo.
Of course, all of this was done while Eri was trying on clothes.
Chen Nuo didn't want Fei Yingli to misunderstand that he had any special feelings for Xiao Lan.
Chen Nuo discovered that although Eri said she wanted to talk about the case, she was constantly testing him.
Although Chen Nuo had already explained his attitude towards Xiao Lan to Eri before Xiao Lan arrived at the coffee shop, Eri believed him to a large extent at the time.
However, it might have been when he handed the phone to Xiaolan later.
When Eri saw Xiaolan's reaction, she became suspicious again, which is why she deliberately dragged Chen Nuo shopping with her.
Furthermore, Conan's constant mention of Shiho Miyano's girlfriend only made Eri Kisaki even more worried about Chen Nuo's attitude towards Ran.
She didn't want her daughter to become a third party, competing with others for a man.
And so, the group spent most of the day shopping in the mall, and Chen Nuo ended up with quite a few shopping bags in his hands.
Because Eri Kisaki has maintained her figure and skin very well, she looks like a woman in her early twenties, and when she walks with Ran, they look like sisters.
This made Chen Nuo the target of many envious and jealous glances.
One of the nosy shop assistants whispered, "That guy is really lucky. He managed to pick up two girls of this caliber, and they're even sisters."
"It's unlikely that both will be together, right?" another shop assistant said sourly.
“Being handsome gives you that privilege. When I was in school, there was a guy who was handsome. I bumped into three girls in the classroom.” The shop assistant said with envy, “And even if you can’t be physically together, you can still find a way to be together in spirit.”
"any solution?"
"For example, having the other person's photo in your mouth."
Another employee took a few steps back, resisting the urge to pull out his phone and call the police: "I always felt you were a bit of a pervert."
"Just kidding, how could such a thing happen?" The helpful shop assistant chuckled. "By the way, who is that kid? Is he his son?"
"I don't think so. They don't seem that close. They feel more like pet dogs kept at home..."
The two of them started gossiping quietly, one after the other.
Upon hearing this, Conan bared his teeth at the two of them, looking as if he was about to bite them.
"Oh well, just as expected of a pet dog." The shop assistant thought to himself while forcing a smile.
When it was almost time to eat, Xiaolan led everyone to the agreed-upon restaurant.
As soon as Chen Nuo arrived at the door, he saw Kogoro Mouri lingering nearby with a puzzled look on his face.
"Hey? Dad, what are you doing here?" Xiaolan walked over and said in a surprised tone.
Kogoro Mouri: "Damn it, it wasn't you who made me..."
Xiao Lan smiled and pinched her father's arm, interrupting him from what he was about to say.
Seeing this, Eri sighed. How could she not understand her daughter's feelings? Over the years, she had thought about trying to return to Ran's side, but coincidentally, every time she wavered, Kogoro Mouri would give her a big boost.
He either gets caught having affairs or loses a lot of money gambling.
Every time, she manages to shatter the courage that Eri Kisaki manages to muster.
Xiaolan held her parents' hands and smiled sweetly: "Since we've bumped into each other by accident, let's have a meal together."
Kogoro Mouri maintained a straight face and his composure.
“Alright, let’s just have a simple meal then.” Eri nodded, then looked at Chen Nuo, “Chen Nuo, come along too, it’ll be more fun with more people.”
Chen Nuo shook his head: "I have some things to take care of at my family's temple, so I'll head back now. Please call me again if anything comes up later."
