Judy almost screamed out, but she tried hard to hold back her composure. Ran Maoli next to her screamed out for him, "Ah, so his name is Dai Moroboshi?"

Huh?

Everyone present looked at Mao Lilan, but Mao Lilan lowered her head and looked at Conan excitedly, "It's the man who always wears a black knitted hat. We have seen him several times downstairs in the office!"

What is Shuichi Akai doing downstairs at the Mori Detective Agency?

Vermouth secretly noted this and pretended to be surprised, "Have you really met Mr. Moroboshi?"

Conan was unhappy when seeing his girlfriend getting so excited when talking about other men. "Idiot, the last time we saw Mr. Moroboshi was more than a month ago, but the Mr. Moroboshi that this sister knew disappeared recently. Because no one would come to a convenience store to look for clues about someone who disappeared a month ago, right?"

Suzuki Sonoko hit Conan hard and said angrily, "Who are you calling an idiot, you little brat!"

"Ah, it hurts!"

A big bump suddenly appeared on Conan's head.

How come Suzuki Sonoko looks more and more like Uncle Mori... Did the Suzuki and Mori families really not have the wrong child?!

Suzuki Sonoko took control of the situation. "Xiaolan, you are too careless. Why did you meet that guy downstairs of your house so many times? Didn't you suspect there was something wrong?

? ”

What Suzuki Sonoko said is correct.

Conan touched the big bump on his head. That Moroboshi Dai was probably monitoring—

"He's probably just a stalker!"

Suzuki Sonoko looked disgusted. "He wanted to strike up a conversation with Xiaolan and accidentally saw her karate skills, so he switched to the next target. I'm afraid he gave up on hooking up with this model sister for some other reason and ran away, right?"

"Just like the stalker named Akai Shuichi that my bodyguard caught a month ago!"

Vermouth felt as if she was hallucinating some strange things, and couldn't help but confirm it as if she was doubting it.

"A stalker named Akai Shuichi?"

In fact, Judy has always wanted to ask Suzuki Sonoko about the stalker named Akai Shuichi. After all, the Japanese police insisted that the man they handed over was the stalker caught by the Suzuki family.

But if the person the bodyguard is protecting is actually the person himself, he might have seen the photo of the stalker that the bodyguard has reported!

"What does that stalker look like?"

Suzuki Sonoko tried desperately to recall what happened a month ago. "My sister seemed to have sent me a photo and told me to stay away from him in the future... He was a tall, strong, blond-haired foreign man who didn't look like a good person."

"Yes, that's it."

Judy turned her attention back to the woman who claimed to know Mr. Moroboshi. "Anyway, let's help this lady find Mr. Moroboshi first!"

Conan pretended to be hurt and lay on Mouri Ran's thighs to receive comfort, and remembered their entire conversation in his mind.

Mao Lilan touched Conan's head and looked into the store with some concern, "Has Xiao Xuan not finished talking with the store manager yet?"

Conan moved his ears and said, "It seems like there's a quarrel in there?"

"what?"

Suzuki Sonoko, who was the most protective of her, rushed in in two steps. She saw the manager scolding and questioning Xiao Xuan loudly, and she immediately stood in front of Xiao Xuan. Mao Lilan, who was behind her, hugged Xiao Xuan's shoulders and held her in her arms to comfort her.

Full of tacit understanding.

Facing the angry store manager, Judy, as an adult, stepped forward with a friendly smile to ease the tense atmosphere, "I'm a high school teacher. What's the matter?"

The store manager was furious: "Every time Xiaoxuan was on duty and closing the store, some goods would always be lost. I just wanted her to admit her mistake...but she just wouldn't admit it!"

Chapter 345 26: The Disadvantages of Being a Ghost

On the ceiling of the convenience store, a dark figure was lying on the ground, breathing heavily.

Under the ceiling, Conan automatically entered the state and began to ask, "What goods were taken away?"

The store manager remembers it clearly, "Before, there were always game software, DVDs, CDs, lunch boxes, rice balls, mineral water, oolong tea, cola, and a lot of candies and snacks like chocolate... It's easy to imagine young people getting together to play music, play games, watch DVDs and have fun!"

Even Suzuki Sonoko could imagine this scene.

"Also," the store manager added, "Xiao Xuan lost several bottles of air freshener and aromatherapy when she was on duty yesterday."

"The style of painting suddenly changed."

Suzuki Sonoko complained, "Why would a thief suddenly steal air fresheners and aromatherapy?"

"Who knows, maybe the house is full of the smell of alcohol and food after the party, and we need an air freshener and aromatherapy to purify the air?"

The store manager didn't care about these small details. "Anyway, every time something gets lost it's when Xiao Xuan is on duty."

Conan was a little concerned about this.

After all, air fresheners and aromatherapy are very different from the things stolen before. He asked the store manager for a list of lost items and studied it carefully. He found that the items stolen by the criminals were cheap and very low-quality aromatherapy, which is often used to fumigate public toilets.

This is the same logic as the criminals taking only expiring lunch boxes and rice balls, both of which are intended to cause as little loss to the store as possible.

This matter is very interesting, as most of the stolen items were food and drinks, and the stolen chocolate candies were more likely to be used to replenish body energy than expensive snacks eaten at parties. For someone who would steal even a bottle of water, it is likely that he would not have the conditions to play game software and DVDs, and most likely he was selling them to make money.

Rather than a gathering of young people having fun, he looked more like a homeless man who made a living by stealing.

But this homeless guy suddenly stole a few boxes of low-quality aromatherapy.

You can’t sell it, and if you steal the aromatherapy, you must keep it for yourself, but why do you need aromatherapy?

In what situations and circumstances is aromatherapy necessary?

Vermouth looked at the little detective who was thinking with his head down, and smiled, "Since Miss Xiaoxuan is on duty, do you remember any suspicious guests?"

"Suspicious guest?"

Being mistaken for a thief, Xiao Xuan tried to control her emotions and thought carefully, "Although it's not strange, there are three guests who seem a little unusual."

Choose one of the three!

No. 26 put his hands on his hips and sighed deeply. He finally remembered the plot, the unemployed man living on the ceiling.

This is the only reasoning by Ran Mouri in Conan's more than 100 volumes and more than 1,000 chapters.

Anyway, there is information about Conan, Mao Lilan, and Akai Shuichi.

By keeping Vermouth hanging here, No. 26 is not worried that Vermouth will suddenly leave and she will lose him.

No. 26 floated to the ceiling, wanting to see whether it was the original criminal or one of his classmates.

If she were a classmate, I could chat with her...at least she would be more talkative than that Saki Hanaki who is obsessed with part-time work!

"Wow, that's a lot of garbage!"

Even though she was a ghost, she was frightened by the mountain of garbage. She subconsciously covered her mouth and nose even though she couldn't smell anything.

The mountain of garbage only appeared in one frame in the comics and was only briefly mentioned in the anime, causing her to forget about it.

"This is too disgusting!"

Especially—she is a ghost now, a soul!

She floated up to the ceiling without any preparation, and her whole body passed through the garbage bag. The rotten, sticky, and worm-infested things in the black garbage bag slid past her eyes, as if she had close contact with the garbage.

Number 26 rolled around in the air frantically: "Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Forget it! Forget it! Quickly forget it, my brain!"

Oh wait, does the soul state come without a brain?

She flew high into the sky, purified herself under the sun's rays for a minute, then slowly descended, looking for her classmates in the garbage dump with disgust.

If I remember correctly, I did catch a glimpse of a number that was particularly conspicuous in the darkness, a pickup truck with glowing lights.

In the darkness, even the fluorescent light was very eye-catching, and No. 26 easily found his classmates.

"No. 28."

As for boys, it’s hard to start a conversation face to face.

No. 26 sighed in disappointment, carefully dodging the garbage and floating to No. 28 who was lying on the ground, "Wake up, don't sleep any more, Conan is here to act out the story!"

Number 28 didn't move.

No. 26 scratched his head, squatted down and moved closer, "Wake up - wake up - ah -"

Number 28 didn't move.

No. 26 pinched his throat suspiciously and rushed back to Hanami Saki, "Saki Saki! Can you hear me?"

Saki Hanaki couldn't hold back her laughter and covered her ears with gritted teeth.

【Working Emperor [09]: You’re almost making me deaf… What are you yelling about right now?】

"Hey, can you hear me?"

No. 26 swooped around the garbage pile and rushed back to the ceiling, causing damage to No. 28's hearing. Hanami Saki had to send more than a dozen private messages to complain before she dared to confirm her judgment.

"Unconscious?!"

If he was dead, the number would definitely be gone, so he should just be in a coma.

She quickly ran back to Hanaki Saki, faced Hanaki Saki's glare as she wanted to stab her, and told her what happened.

"Even though he's a thief, you don't have to let No. 28 torture him to death!"

This is true.

Seeing that there were fewer customers, Hanagi Saki called a colleague to help watch the cash register. "The manager and Xiaoxuan haven't reached an agreement yet, which makes me a little worried. Maybe I can help."

The old employees in the store more or less knew about the missing goods. Although they felt that Xiao Xuan was not that kind of person, they had to work in the store for a long time and it would not be easy for them to defend Xiao Xuan in front of the boss. It would be great if Hanami Saki, who was only a temporary worker, could help speak up for her.

As soon as I walked to the back of the store, I heard the manager's angry questioning, "You are Xiaoxuan's friends, so of course you think she is innocent, but I watched the store all day through the surveillance cameras last time, and no customers stole anything. I stayed in the car outside the store and saw the surveillance video turned off after the store closed, and only Xiaoxuan left after the surveillance video was turned off."

"I stayed outside the store for a whole night and didn't see any thieves. When I checked the next day, I found something missing again. If it wasn't Xiao Xuan who stole it, where is the culprit?"

No. 26, who floated over following Hanaki Saki, took a deep breath.

Wow, this guy is really serious... But if he has the energy to stay up all night, why not turn on the surveillance all night and check it the next day? Isn't the electricity bill for the surveillance all night less than the energy you spend squatting all night?

If the surveillance camera was on at night, the thief would have been caught long ago.

Chapter 346 The scent of perfume I have smelled before

God knows what happened to No. 28 up there. It would be bad if his life was really in danger. Hanaki Saki went straight to the point, "Maybe it's hidden in the ceiling?"

"what?"

Conan, who had just made some guesses, looked up dully at this classmate who usually just stared with a pair of eyes that never perked up and rarely spoke in class, and was greatly shocked.

The store manager was shocked by this. He hesitated for a moment and tried his best to understand Hanagi Saki's point of view. "Why does the ceiling say that?"

"Before I started working, I would walk around the store to get familiar with the work environment, including where the electrical box and fire extinguisher were. At that time, I noticed that there was a brick on the toilet ceiling that could be moved away, probably to make it easier to access the ceiling for maintenance."

Suzuki Sonoko reacted quickly, "That is to say, the criminal hid on the ceiling at night, waited until everyone left before coming down to steal things, and left during the day... This is not right, DVDs are fine, but it is too difficult to take away things like water and lunch boxes without being noticed. Isn't the store manager always watching the surveillance?"

Conan explained for Hanagi Saki: "If the thief has actually been living on the ceiling, then that would explain it... right, Xiaolan-sister!"

Wow, I almost forgot Judy and that suspicious woman were around!

He carefully observed the woman out of the corner of his eye, and happened to meet her eyes, and saw that she gave him a meaningful smile.

Conan immediately turned his head back and tugged at Mao Lilan's sleeve. Mao Lilan then reacted and covered for him, "That's right, living on the ceiling--"

Because every time Conan uses her identity to make inferences, she has to follow Conan's reasoning, so Mao Lilan's basic reasoning ability has improved.

"I steal water and food to survive. I probably sell the games and DVDs for money, so that I can occasionally come down to take care of myself... If I stay on the ceiling for a long time and get dirty and messy, I won't be able to sneak out of the ceiling without being noticed and return to human society!"

The store manager frowned, "Even if you say so, this guess is too outrageous!"

"Just take a look and see if this guess is correct. How about eliminating an interfering option?"

Mao Lilan volunteered, "In order to prove Xiaoxuan's innocence, I can go to the ceiling and help take a look!"

Suzuki Sonoko frantically encouraged her best friend, "That's right, if the thief gets angry and wants to attack us, Xiaolan can also use her karate to catch the criminal in one fell swoop!"

Mao Lilan hurriedly covered Suzuki Sonoko's mouth, "Sonoko! Don't be so exaggerated!"

"It's the truth!"

It is indeed true.

Conan looked at Ran Mouri who was climbing up to the ceiling on the toilet with great confidence, and he was not worried about her.

After all, the thief who only stole food that was about to expire and stopped stealing for a while after hearing Xiao Xuan being scolded was probably just a kind-hearted person who was forced into a desperate situation.

Mao Lilan removed the movable ceiling above the toilet. Because it was frequently moved up and down and people were moving around, there was not much dust on the ceiling where dust should have accumulated. However, Mao Lilan still choked and sneezed several times.

"What's this smell? It's so choking..."

She sneezed as she handed the ceiling to Suzuki Sonoko. The pungent smell spread everywhere, making Suzuki Sonoko sneeze as well.
