The store manager standing at the door of the toilet clapped his hands and said, "This is the smell of aromatherapy!"

Suzuki Sonoko was shocked. "You call this aromatherapy... The aromatherapy used in the school bathroom is much better than this!"

After smelling the aroma, the store manager agreed with their reasoning, "There are always people who need this kind of cheap and large-volume aromatherapy, but for use in a closed space like the ceiling..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Before the manager could finish his words, he heard Mao Lilan scream in fear and lean back. She suddenly lost her balance and fell off the toilet.

"Xiaolan!"

Suzuki Sonoko and Conan rushed forward at the same time to stop Mouri Ran to prevent her from falling to the ground, but someone was faster than them.

Judy reached out from behind Mouri Ran and grabbed her shoulders to prevent her from hitting her head against anything. Vermouth appeared in front of Xiaolan as if by a flash and used herself as a support to hold her steady.

Mao Lilan was sandwiched between two mature women, still in shock, when she suddenly smelled a pleasant perfume.

The perfume that Teacher Judy used when she sang was passionate roses, and all the students in her class knew this.

So this smell now is probably the perfume used by this strange woman.

The scent of the perfume seems to be shifting from top notes to middle notes, and the slightly bitter and earthy aroma is gradually becoming crisp and clean, like the scent of cedar and trees.

Smells so good...what kind of perfume is this?

Ran Mouri, who was a little breathless and was stuck in the middle, thought that she seemed to have smelled this smell somewhere before. Judy and Vermouth were already on the verge of a showdown.

Judy looked at Vermouth carefully and seriously, "Your skills are really good."

Vermouth smiled and replied, "Because I was easily stalked by stalkers since I was a child, I learned some self-defense techniques and have been practicing them. Is that why my body reacts faster?"

"Is that right?"

"What's not allowed?"

Since Ran Mouri was fine, Conan took advantage of the confrontation between the two to carefully go behind Vermouth and quietly put a sticker for eavesdropping on the back of her heel.

Suzuki Sonoko pulled Mao Lilan out of the squeeze of the two mature women with great difficulty and shook her shoulders. "Xiaolan, are you okay? How did you fall down suddenly?"

Mao Lilan finally came to her senses and recalled the horrific scene just now. Her face turned pale with fear, "Dead man... the man up there is dead!"

"what?"

Conan was too tall to reach the target and could only worry. As an FBI agent, Judy went up to check the situation. When she stuck her head into the ceiling, she saw a pale face in the dark staring straight at her.

She leaned back subconsciously. If it weren't for Suzuki Sonoko's support, she would have probably followed in the footsteps of Mouri Ran.

No wonder he fell down in fright... Anyone who suddenly sees this scene will be scared to death!

Judy touched the man's neck from his face down. It was hot and still moving. "Call the emergency number quickly. This man is still alive! You guys go first.

Make some room here, I'll go up to the ceiling and let him down!"

Mao Lilan reflexively took out her cell phone, opened the phone book, pinned the emergency contact to the top and dialed the police... Ahhhh, this is not a call for the police!

Chapter 347 An Unreal Dream

After watching the ambulance take the unconscious thief away, Conan was lifted up to the ceiling by Ran Mouri to check the situation inside.

With Conan in front of her, Mao Lilan finally mustered up the courage to look up again, and immediately returned to the bathroom with a pale face, "It's so dirty... The garbage is piled up like a mountain!"

Conan walked around the ceiling and confirmed that there were no other danger sources before returning to the bathroom. "The weather has been hot recently, and the garbage inside has rotted and smelled bad. It's really unbearable to live here, so I stole the air freshener and aromatherapy to improve the smell of the air."

The store employees began to take the garbage bags out of the store one by one.

The fresh and clean air in the store was tainted with a pungent smell that was both smelly and fragrant. The store manager frowned and covered his mouth and nose.

"How dare you use such low-quality and cheap aromatherapy in such a confined space?"

Aromatherapy is not non-toxic and harmless. Even if it is high-quality aromatherapy, when the indoor concentration is too high, you need to open windows for ventilation to reduce the body's absorption of the gas.

As for inferior incense, it is made of wood chips, chaff and other debris as raw materials, with added pigments, flavors, and sticky powder. After burning, it will produce gases such as benzene and carbon monoxide.

He held the extinguished, cheap aromatherapy tray that the clerk had taken down from the ceiling.

Perhaps the user wanted to use more to quickly get rid of the odor in the ceiling, so he took a handful of incense and put it on a plate and lit it, causing the plate of low-quality incense to burn and produce a large amount of carbon monoxide.

"Luckily the concentration wasn't high...if he hadn't been discovered, he would have probably died on the ceiling."

The store manager expressed his gratitude to Hanagi Saki with great fear, "If Hanagi hadn't guessed that the thief was hiding in the ceiling, who knows how serious the consequences would have been."

The body is hidden in the ceiling.

A stinky convenience store.

I cleaned it thoroughly, but I couldn't find the source of the smell.

After the convenience store closed down, the next owner discovered a removable ceiling on the bathroom during the renovation.

The protagonist moved the ceiling and wanted to clean it, but happened to look into a pair of dark eyes.

The protagonist was so scared that he rolled over and crawled to the police to ask someone to clean up the body and the garbage on the ceiling. He was exhausted after a day of tossing and turning. When he was washing up before going to bed at night, he looked up and saw a pair of black eyes in the mirror. He didn't know how long they had been staring at him...

Classic horror movie material!

Although this and that happened, Mao Lilan still did not forget the cause and original intention of this matter, "Not only should I thank Hua Mu, but I should also apologize to Xiao Xuan, right?!"

The store manager was a soft-hearted person who suspected Xiaoxuan of stealing things, but after warning her several times, he let her apologize and repent before he let her go. He apologized to Xiaoxuan very sincerely.

"But I still don't understand why the thief only came down to steal things when Xiaoxuan was on duty? If that wasn't the case, I wouldn't have misunderstood Xiaoxuan. She works so hard."

“It’s because she works the hardest.”

Hanagi Saki pointed to the boxes piled up outside the bathroom. "Although I've only worked here for a few days, I noticed that only Xiaoxuan would neatly stack the boxes on both sides before leaving get off work. Others would pile the boxes in a mess in the middle, so the thief naturally couldn't get out of the bathroom."

Xiao Xuan bit her lip and said, "So, it's because I'm too serious..."

"Yes, it is because you are too serious."

Being serious and responsible is a good thing, and Saki Hanaki also likes such hard-working children.

But society is not so clean. If you work too hard, you will be contrasted with colleagues who just get by and attract gossip. If you do things that are not yours for a long time, they may be regarded as something you are accustomed to and have to do. If you don't do it, you will be blamed.

I don’t deny that there are good working environments and relationships among colleagues, but most people have dark thoughts.

Saki Hanaki has always believed in the theory that human beings are evil, that humans are inherently evil and have animal nature, and that the teachings of adults are gradually leading people to do good.

But no matter how much you teach, the beast in your heart will always become restless from time to time and produce many dark thoughts.

Jealousy, cursing, and abuse.

If you want to fit in with everyone, you have to do the same thing as everyone else.

Saki Hanaki has seen so much that she never stays in one place of work for long.

It is such a beautiful thing to complete the work in a cool and handsome manner, leave before being envied or excluded, leave behind a legend, and then meet your former colleagues later and happily greet them with all the good memories.

But if it weren't for the system's perfect worker character, she probably wouldn't have worked as hard as she does now. Because no matter how perfect her work is or how much praise she gets, doing these extra things won't increase her salary.

It cannot be said that those things where people are appreciated for their hard work and are promoted and given a raise do not exist, but they are very fairy-tale-like.

"But there's nothing wrong with being serious!"

Xiao Xuan clutched the corner of her clothes, looked up, and asked stubbornly

Road.

This stubborn expression instantly reminded Saki Hanaki of the stubborn heroine Xiao Baihua whom she had seen on TV when she was a child.

The plot is very vulgar. When faced with the pursuit of diamond rings and luxury cars by a domineering president, the stubborn little white flower from a poor family always regards money as dirt and refuses it.

I don't need charity, I will work hard to earn money with my own hands!

(_|||) In the end, she ended up marrying the domineering president.

——But in the beginning, that stubborn and serious girl who believed that hard work would be rewarded and who worked and studied diligently, even if you think she is too naive in your heart, you can’t hate such a girl.

Instead, I want to protect this pure stubbornness and persistence.

"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with taking it too seriously."

Hanamaki Saki rubbed Xiaoxuan's head and said, "It is indeed an isolated case. It's just that the thief happened to live in the toilet and needed access. It's not a serious mistake."

"Xiao Xuan also arranged it so carefully because she wanted colleagues and guests to have easy access to the toilet, right?"

Before Hanamaki Saki could give her more chicken soup, Xiao Xuan cheered up happily, "I didn't know about the reserved passage on the bathroom ceiling even though I've been working here for a long time. Senior Hanamaki only worked here for a week and already knew about it... It's really amazing!"

She clenched her fist, her eyes full of high morale, "If I had been more careful, I would have thought of the thing hidden in the toilet ceiling earlier - I have to work harder!"

...The spirit is commendable!

But with such a reasonable store manager and colleagues who don't dare to speak for her but care about her and believe in her, if she keeps working hard, maybe she can really live a life of high spirits like this.

You always have to have dreams.

Even if it is such an unreal dream about others.

Chapter 348 Chrissie Wynyard!

The dust has settled, and Xiaoxuan is about to return to her position to work.

Mao Lilan did not forget to ask Vermouth about the man, "By the way, Xiaoxuan, did you see a handsome mixed-race black-haired guy wearing a black knitted hat last week?"

"How handsome is he?" Xiao Xuan tilted her head.

Mao Lilan thought for a moment, "It's the kind of thing where after meeting him once, you'd want to tell all your friends about meeting such a handsome guy, right?"

"That should be the case."

Xiao Xuan said with certainty, "Although there is a lot of turnover in front of the station, handsome guys of that level are still rare."

"But... a week ago, a man wearing a hood and wrapped up tightly came to buy some coffee and lunch boxes. He was tall and had a nice voice. I wonder if he is the person this lady is looking for."

Vermouth nodded sadly and tucked the brown hair that had fallen to her ears behind her ears. "Do you still have the surveillance footage from a week ago? Can I take a look?"

Although Vermouth didn't help much throughout the process, the store manager still allowed her to watch the surveillance footage.

Judy secretly sent a message to ask about the current situation of the colleague who was following Tomoaki Aride.

The response received was that everything was fine.

Judy was worried that she was too suspicious and might wrongly accuse an ordinary person, so she did not act rashly, even though there were some suspicious points about the woman in front of her. She first followed Vermouth to the computer to check the surveillance footage from a week ago.

According to Xiao Xuan's recollection, she saw the strange man last Thursday. He was wrapped tightly and even wore leather gloves when paying.

Even though the sun was a bit hot at noon, he still wore leather gloves to keep out the sweat. This was one of the reasons why Xiaoxuan was so impressed by him.

"Noon?"

Conan didn't dare to jump again this time, but asked Mao Lilan to take action and turn the surveillance video to 8 o'clock in the morning, and then play it backwards at times the speed.

Soon, the man who wrapped himself tightly as Xiao Xuan mentioned walked in from the store door.

Mao Lilan hurriedly switched the surveillance back to double speed and adjusted it back to make room for Vermouth. "Can you recognize if this is Mr. Moroboshi?"

Vermouth groaned and glanced at Judy out of the corner of her eye.

Judy focused on watching the surveillance video, analyzing the subconscious walking habits of the person in the video.

This walking habit doesn’t look like Shuichi at all... Wait, that wallet!

Her hands on the table trembled slightly, and her eyes were fixed on the wallet that the man took out when he paid.

That's Shuichi's wallet!

She was basically sure that this man was not Xiuyi, but why did he have Xiuyi's wallet? Did he pick up Xiuyi's wallet by accident? No, that's not right. If he just picked up Xiuyi's wallet, he shouldn't have wrapped himself so tightly!

Vermouth noticed Judy's hesitation and gave the store manager a grateful smile, "It doesn't look like that was Mr. Moroboshi... But I'm still very grateful that you can lend me the surveillance camera."

After thanking them, Vermouth said goodbye to the few people, "We have lost the last clue, so we can only give up the search. I even took three days off to look for Mr. Moroboshi... It's time to cheer up!"

"Well said!"

Suzuki Sonoko happily held Vermouth's shoulders, "That's right! A man who doesn't share his situation with you and disappears at any time is not worth your worry!"

"I have a lot of good-looking guys here. Do you want to pursue me?"

I won't be able to use it again after I ask for it. Add your contact information, and I'll invite you to join me when there are high-quality handsome guys to socialize with! As a thank you for saving my friend just now!"

As she spoke, she looked at Mao Lilan and made wild hints.

Conan, who was hinted at, held the back of his head, curled his lips, and secretly glanced at Vermouth.

If his guess is correct, then this person probably would not exchange contact information with Suzuki Sonoko.

"Okay."

Vermouth looked at this particularly outgoing short-haired girl with interest and took out her cell phone. "Please be sure to notify me."
