"Sir, I'll be frank, you're the one who killed the victim!"

In order to leave work as soon as possible, Inspector Megure didn't beat around the bush and said it directly.

"Nani?!"

This terrified the burly man.

Not only him, but also the people in the Metropolitan Police Department looked at Megure, unable to understand why he could utter such arrogant words.

Just a moment ago, everyone was clueless about the case, how come you betrayed us in the blink of an eye?

"You say I'm the murderer, then produce some evidence!"

The burly man was naturally not going to confess easily and began the usual struggles of a prisoner.

"Humph"

Unperturbed, Inspector Megure turned his gaze to Eri Kisaki outside the door.

"As for evidence, please ask that top lawyer!"

He has completely figured it out!

Why would a child be so brave as to squeeze into a crime scene? Why was it such a coincidence that those scenes were captured? Why was it specifically shown to him?

There is only one answer!

That is, the lawyer had seen through everything, but considering his own face, he didn't say it directly, but instead used this method to remind her.

She really made me cry to death!

After finally managing to compose herself, Eri Kisaki, who had also managed to take the little boy who had wandered into the crime scene out of the room, was a bit bewildered.

She didn't even think about the case, so where did she get the evidence?

With a hint of surprise, she told Megure the truth, and then added insult to injury.

"Given the current situation, if I were to defend this suspect, I could get him acquitted in just a few hours and even demand compensation for emotional distress from your Metropolitan Police Department."

Both her demeanor and her words revealed the strong confidence of this undefeated queen of the legal profession.

Of course, she would never defend such a person.

However, Inspector Megure still took a few steps back in a panic, no longer as calm and composed as before.

Oh no! What should we do if we don't have any evidence?

Seeing this, the burly man breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something arrogant when he was interrupted by an innocent child's voice.

"Sister Fei, why are that big guy's fingers wrapped up as thick as radishes?"

Luo Tian simply couldn't stand it anymore.

The food is practically right in front of your mouth, and you don't even open your mouth. Isn't that a bit impolite?

"finger?"

Eri looked at the burly man's right hand and noticed that his middle finger was wrapped in bandages many times, making it look very bloated.

Even if, as he claims, his finger was injured, there's no reason for him to use so many bandages.

"Hmm? This bandage..."

Reminded by Luo Tian, ​​Megure finally realized something was wrong and quickly took out his phone to compare the photos from earlier.

It was discovered that the burly man's bandaged finger, which was his ring finger before he went into the toilet, had now become his middle finger.

Can injuries be transferred?

"...Take it down and let me see!"

An inspector is still an inspector after all. Although he is practically crippled when it comes to reasoning, he still has the necessary execution ability.

Soon, with the combined efforts of several police officers, the bandages on the burly man's fingers were removed.

It was a bandage that was about a third of the way stained with blood.

There were no wounds on the burly man's fingers, so it was obvious that the bloodstains could not be his.

Given the current situation, it can only be the deceased!

"Take him back to the station!"

At this stage of the case, there was no point in saying anything more. With a wave of his hand, Inspector Megure decisively announced that he was off duty.

As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. Although the strong man was exceptionally tall and strong, he was still just one person.

Despite being surrounded and apprehended by several police officers, he was eventually put on a silver bracelet and put into a police car.

The sight of a tall man curled up inside the car was so striking that it drew bursts of laughter from the onlookers.

As for the panic caused by the murder? Not at all!

This is Miho, and as a proper Miho citizen, being accustomed to handling cases is a basic requirement.

Unless it's an indiscriminate attack, or there are eight eggs, they might not cooperate and show any panic.

The police convoy had already left, but the crowd of onlookers inside and outside the coffee shop only grew larger, like cats that had smelled fish.

A murder case is enough to become their topic of conversation over tea and dinner these next few days.

Especially in this case, a cruel woman who knew she was the other woman forced a man to divorce his wife, only to be killed by him in return, is a rare occurrence even in Miwa.

……

"Huh? Is it over already?"

Ran Mouri went out to make a phone call because the incident inside the store was too noisy.

Unexpectedly, the case was solved not long afterward.

Even when my childhood sweetheart was around, it didn't seem to be this efficient, did it?

"This is all thanks to Xiao Luo!"

Eri picked up the little boy again. This time, she was mentally prepared and wouldn't have any strange thoughts.

The girl was surprised, yet also felt it was perfectly reasonable, when she told Luo Tian that he had accidentally recorded important evidence while randomly taking pictures with his phone.

This is my lucky star!

"By the way, I've already discussed it with Aunt Yukiko. Xiao Luo will stay at our house for now, and Aunt Yukiko will be back in a while!"

"Return the phone to your mother," Ran Mouri said to Luo Tian with a smile.

"Now you can rest assured, right?"

"Okay! Thank you, Sister Xiaolan!"

Luo Tian nodded seriously and returned her phone.

"Speaking of which, should we buy you a cell phone too? That way, it'll be easier for Aunt Yukiko to contact you, and we can find you if you go out..."

The girl muttered to herself as she looked at the new photos on her phone.

In today's society, mobile phones have become a standard accessory for almost everyone, from the elderly in their seventies and eighties to children who have just started kindergarten.

She felt it was necessary to buy one for the little boy.

"In that case, I'll buy it myself. Consider it a gift for Xiao Luo."

As Eri spoke, she affectionately rubbed her cheek against Luo Tian's bouncy face.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ran Mouri's expression froze instantly.

She couldn't imagine what her mother's expression would be when she found out Luo Tian's true identity.

While lost in thought, she accidentally pressed the play button on one of the video clips.

Suddenly, those familiar scumbag quotes started playing again!

"...Women are emotional creatures; a few sweet words and you can easily win them over..."

The long-haired scumbag who was still in the store heard his own voice and looked over with a puzzled expression.

What? Does someone want to become my apprentice?

The other customers in the coffee shop also cast disdainful glances at him again, as if drinking coffee with him in the same shop was a disgrace.

What's even more amazing is that a girl with shoulder-length brown hair and a headband walked into the store at that very moment.

Chapter 15 Sonoko: Why is he a child?!

Sonoko Suzuki is a breath of fresh air among the many wealthy young ladies.

She can move freely in high-society banquets and also enjoy street food to her heart's content.

As the saying goes, high-end, classy, ​​and sophisticated; understated luxury with substance. Perhaps she lacks substance, but she is definitely low-key.

Just like the other day when I went to visit a TV station with some friends, it turns out that we have several TV stations in our own home.

And that's how she met a rather handsome man there.

After two days of online chatting, the long-haired scumbag made full use of his skills to make Miss Suzuki very happy, which led to today's date.

Unfortunately, the date was doomed before it even began.

"Was what you just said true?!"

Sonoko Suzuki strode forward with a dark expression and asked through gritted teeth.

She was really looking forward to today's date and had even dressed up specially, but she didn't expect to hear such words as soon as she walked in the door.

Her delicate and beautiful face was contorted with anger, making her look like a tigress ready to unleash her fury at any moment.

No, not just preparing, she's already throwing a tantrum!

"Um, no, Sonoko, listen to me..."

Upon seeing the main character arrive, the long-haired scumbag panicked instantly and hurriedly waved his hand, trying to use his scumbag quotes to argue his way out.

Unfortunately, a voice, deliberately raised in volume, rang out at just the right moment.

Luo Tian knew that his time to make his appearance had come!

"By the way, Sister Fei, is this the kind of scumbag they talk about on TV?"

"Uh……"

The childlike tone undoubtedly increased the credibility of the statement by several percentage points, bringing the long-haired scumbag's voice to an abrupt halt.

It's common knowledge that children don't lie!

In addition, there were other customers in the coffee shop who could testify, and their conversations were even recorded.

It's... over already!

Snapped! ! !

A furious slap landed squarely on the long-haired scumbag's face, the crisp, pleasant sound echoing throughout the coffee shop, even knocking his head to the side.

The next second, a clearly defined handprint appeared on that fairly handsome face at a visible speed, forming a distinct mark.

"Ah—my dad has never hit me!"

With a sob in his voice, the long-haired scumbag scrambled out of the store in a familiar manner, drawing applause from the crowd.

Well done! My mouth double!

Luo Tian once again basked in the approving gazes of the crowd.

Because of certain unspoken rules that only adults understand, no matter how much they hate this kind of scumbag, they can't say it directly.

This time, not only was the scumbag's ugly face recorded, but it was also exposed in front of the man himself!

Good work deserves to be rewarded!

As a result, a lot of snacks and drinks immediately appeared on Luo Tian's table.

Some of these gifts were from enthusiastic customers, while others were given by the store manager as a token of gratitude for helping to resolve the case.

Looks like I won't be able to eat lunch today!

"Seriously! I can't believe I agreed to go on a date with a guy like that! Only a fool would be interested in him!"

As Sonoko Suzuki walked to Ran Mouri's side, she continued to complain angrily.

She had already discovered her best friend!
