I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

At noon, Shinichi and the others had already arrived at the dining area of the gymnasium.

Although you can eat while sitting in the stands, it is still not very convenient, and Shinichi does not bring any food other than sandwiches.

After arriving at the dining area, Mori Kogoro took the initiative to help a few people buy drinks.

But in Shinichi's opinion, this guy will definitely deliberately forget to buy the concubine's mile.

"Hmm~o(* ̄▽ ̄*)oThis sandwich is really delicious!No wonder Yona-chan has that expression!".

Xiaolan finished the last sandwich in her hand, and her face was full of satisfaction.

It's a pity that she has to continue the game in the afternoon, and she can't eat too much, otherwise she thinks she can eat two more.

Just when Xiaolan was still unsatisfied and intoxicated with food, the garden sitting next to her looked like she hated iron but not steel, rolling her eyes and glaring at Shinichi.

At this time, Shinichi had just opened a letter, which Xiaolan had given him.

To be precise, it was Yonai Wada who asked Xiaolan to give it to him.

"Hey~Xiaolan~".

Seeing that someone didn't feel anything about the white of his eyes, Sonoko finally couldn't sit still, and arched the girl who was immersed in food fantasy with her elbow.

"Hmm, what's wrong?".

Xiaolan, who came back to her senses, asked suspiciously, but found that her best friend was pouting and motioning her to look in a certain direction.

That direction is the new one who is reading the letter.

"Is there anything strange?".

Retracting her gaze, Xiaolan still didn't understand, wasn't it just a letter.

This innocent appearance made the garden cry out and couldn't move, and he couldn't wait to play on behalf of him immediately.

"Aren't you curious about what Yona Wada wrote?"

Although he has no practical experience, the love master Yuanzi, who is rich in theoretical knowledge, guides the simple little angel step by step.

"What if...... Is it a "love letter]?".

Leaning into Xiaolan's ear, Yuanzi specially accentuated the tone of a certain word.

"Alas?!won't it~".

As if frightened by the word, the girl let out an exclamation, but quickly reacted and lowered her voice.

"Shinichi hasn't spoken to Yona-chan, so how can Yona-chan be interesting to him?".

For Xiaolan, the relationship with Yona Wada is not limited to the opponent during the game, but also often chats through text messages in private, exchanging martial arts experiences and the like, so the two of them can be called friends.

But Shinichi's words, he only met Yona Wada a few times when he came to watch her game, and he didn't talk alone, so how could it develop to the point of writing love letters?

"You, you, don't you know how good your Shinichi is? He is handsome, smart, has a good figure, has a good personality, and is proficient in martial arts...... But what about you, and you even took the food he made to share with your rivals!".

With his [excellent] reasoning ability in love, Yuanzi has already regarded Yona Wada as himself in his own vision, no, he is Xiaolan's rival.

"It's too much for a rival or something, isn't it? It's just a letter, not necessarily a love letter. "

Xiaolan still didn't want to believe that this would happen.

As soon as she thought that she might have personally sent someone else's love letter to Xinyi, she felt confused and subconsciously denied this possibility.

"I have to verify it!"

Clenched his fists, the garden looked over with great momentum, making Xiaolan swallow nervously.

"Doesn't seem like a good idea to read people's letters?"

"What are you afraid of!What do you want to do, that guy spoils you so much, and dares to stop you!".

The garden is a lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he does his best to encourage the Tao.

"That's ......

".

Obviously, Xiaolan doesn't have the courage of her best friend, and she is still a little hesitant.

"Ahem!".

At this moment, Concubine Mi, who was sitting on the other side of Xiaolan, couldn't listen anymore and coughed lightly to show her presence.

Because they sat very closely, she had been listening to the whispers of the two just now, but it was just for the sake of the elders' face, so it was difficult to get involved in the affairs between the young people.

But now the situation is different, and it is related to his future son-in-law.

"Xiaolan, it is necessary to use some strong means against men sometimes, otherwise you will be ...... like your father."

Obviously, Fei Mile is teaching her daughter the so-called way of the imperial husband.

It's a pity that with her marital status at this time, it is really not very convincing.

But it's still no problem to bluff Xiaolan and Yuanzi, who have never been in love.

"I ...... that, I see

."

With the encouragement of the two closest people, Xiaolan glanced at Shinichi, who was sitting opposite to read the letter, and finally made up her mind to prepare to go up.

But a terrible scream interrupted her movements, attracting the attention of the others in the dining area.

......

"The deceased's name is Himeno Yayoi, 24 years old this year, he was stabbed in the heart and killed, and the marks on his neck are ......

."

Officer Twilight, who arrived soon after receiving the call to the police, listened to the report of his subordinates and thought seriously.

Nothing!

This is not to blame him, after all, he had just arrested Sewa Sontoku and was taking the prisoner back to the Metropolitan Police Department, but he received a call from Mori Kogoro, so he changed his destination and went directly to the gymnasium.

As for Sewa Sontoku, he was escorted back to the Metropolitan Police Department by Takagi.

In Rice Flower, the police are either at the crime scene or on the way to the crime scene, and being able to rise to the position of police department has become Xi.

The scene of the crime was a toilet at the end of the corridor in the dining area, and the body of the deceased was located in one of the cubicles of the women's toilet.

"This toilet has no windows, which means that the murderer ate in the dining area and was one of the people who entered the toilet during this time, right?".

After investigating the toilet that was the scene of the crime, Twilight finally came to some conclusions.

Although the Tokyo Metropolitan Stadium is not as large as other large venues such as the Dome, it can accommodate up to 10,000 spectators, and it is divided into several areas, which are naturally equipped with several toilets.

The dining area of the stadium is located in the southwest corner of the stadium, and unless you happen to be dining in the dining area, no one will come here to use the toilet under normal circumstances.

Therefore, Twilight's judgment is very reasonable.

It's just ......

"What do you think I'm doing?"

Shinichi glanced at Officer Twilight with a slight disgust.

"Hahaha, that, the new brother, I didn't even eat breakfast today, and then ...... You know?!".

can be a police department, Twilight's face is obviously thick enough, I saw him slowly approaching Shinichi, and two words were written on his round fat face.

I want to get off work!

But Shinichi ignored his hints.

Sorry, I don't understand!

"What's more, if this case is solved earlier, Xiaolan will have to go to the competition, right?"

Seeing that he couldn't pretend to be miserable, he changed his words and began to adopt roundabout tactics, just like his usual style in the past.

And just like he said, the people present are actually more or less suspicious, and if the confessions are recorded one by one, it will take at least two or three hours, not to mention cooperating with other investigations.

By the time this is over, not to mention Xiaolan's participation in the competition, it will be early for them to go home before dinner.

Even Officer Twilight can't give them special treatment, after all, these are normal procedures.

But it's not the same with Shinichi's help.

"Really, in that case, it's okay to let Xiaolan return to the arena first. "

Shinichi was also very clear about this, scratched his head, and had to agree, but also made a request.

"This ...... New brother, you also know these processes, and I ...... them too

."

Twilight hesitated, embarrassed.

Although they are all acquaintances, but because of their personalities, Twilight has always been iron-faced and selfless, even if they know very well that Xiaolan and they can't have the slightest suspicion, but they still have to do what they should do.

"That's ......

."

Shinichi nodded knowingly.

This kind of scene is all too familiar to him, because of the aura of death, he has often been involved in various cases since elementary school, but he was still a primary school student at the time, and he will not be regarded as a suspect.

It's just that as he grew older, from junior high school, he began to go through this so-called law enforcement procedure.

It was precisely in order to get out quickly that he began to help solve one case after another.

"Four people. "

"What?".

"I mean, since the deceased, Yayoi Himeno entered the toilet, there were four people who went to the toilet. "
