"Ms. Baihe, could you please go to Hai Zhi's house and ask about the customers who just went to buy swimsuits?"
On the holiday beach, after Kudo Shinichi was taken away by Yukiko, Akai Shuichi looked at Shirakawa Shizu and said.
He didn't explain the reason, but Bai Hejing also knew it.
The escaped accomplice of the middle-aged man in the car that crashed into the sea, whom the two people had previously speculated, had probably taken advantage of the chaos and blended in with the tourists on the beach, waiting for an opportunity to escape.
Therefore, in order to make his disguise appear more natural, there is a high possibility that this accomplice will go to Haizhijia to buy swimsuits, trunks and even slippers, which are essential equipment for beach tourists.
"I will go to the entrance and exit and ask the staff if any soaked tourists have left the beach during the period after the car crashed into the sea. How about that?" Shuichi Akai said again.
It seems that he regards Bai Hejing as a temporary partner in solving a case together.
She didn't answer him immediately. Bai Hejing first looked at her sister who was under the umbrella not far away and was being taken by Yukiko. Then she picked up the phone hanging around her neck and opened it.
The couple in her family had sent new replies.
[Ajing, we’ll be there in a while. 】
"good."
Putting away his mobile phone, Bai Hejing nodded towards Akai Hide.
[Just before they come, let’s settle the matter here...]
She didn't want to disturb her rare vacation by all these messy things.
The division of labor was clear, and the two of them went to their destinations.
"..."
"After the car crashed into the sea, did anyone come here to buy swimsuits or slippers?"
After hearing Bai Hejing's description, the employees in the Hai Zhijia store scratched their heads in embarrassment.
"Well, there seem to be three or four of them, right? But because there are always a lot of customers in the store, I can't remember their faces clearly..."
"Is this so..." Bai Hejing frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"I think there were three of them."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded next to Bai Hejing. She turned around and saw that it was the boy named Hideyoshi who made her feel a little suspicious before.
"Sister Jing, I have been hesitating about buying this dress in this store before, so I happened to notice this."
Hideyoshi smiled and explained that he was indeed holding a trendy-looking T-shirt in his hand.
"Are you sure?" Bai Hejing looked at him and asked.
"Definitely." Hideyoshi nodded, and then he took out a pair of glasses from somewhere and put them on, and said slightly proudly: "As a shogi player, I am very good at remembering things."
"Okay, then please help me find these three people as soon as possible." Bai Hejing said without asking any more questions.
"no problem."
"..."
He did not follow Hideyoshi to look for anyone. When Bai Hejing returned to the place where the middle-aged man's body was placed on the beach, he found that the police had arrived and Kudo Yukiko was being questioned by them. Looking at her slightly helpless expression Based on her expression, and Kudo Shinichi's head next to her, which was peering towards the corpse, she was probably dragged over by her big boy who was eager to find the murderer, and then was caught and questioned by the police who happened to arrive.
"No, Mr. Police, although I also called the police, I did not fish out the body... Ah! Xiao Jing! Come on! The police are here!" Seeing Bai He Jing, Yukiko waved and shouted.
"What's wrong?" When he came to her side, Bai Hejing touched his sister Bai Heying's head and asked.
During the period when she was investigating, Yukiko kept Bai Heying with her.
"Miss, was it you who fished out the body?" asked the old detective in front of him.
"Not just me, but someone else."
"And I."
As soon as Bai Hejing finished speaking, Akai Shuichi also came over, and the two nodded to each other.
"There are three people there at Hai Zhijia. Your brother will bring them over later." Bai Hejing said.
"Well, I didn't gain anything at all. The import and export staff didn't see anyone suspicious." Akai Shuichi replied.
"Well...can you tell me your identities first?" The old detective couldn't help but ask after listening to the inexplicable conversation between the two.
"Bai Hejing, college student."
Bai Hejing's answer was very concise. In comparison, Akai Shuichi was more detailed.
"Akai Shuichi, a college student studying abroad, happened to come over for vacation with his family today."
"Are you friends?" After hearing the two people's answers, the old detective asked curiously.
"No, we just happened to go rescue people together." The two replied.
"oh oh……"
Nodding, the old detective returned to the topic. He pointed at the body in front of him and asked:
"We heard on the police call that there were two people in the car that crashed into the sea. Where is the other person now?"
"We're looking."
"What does it mean?"
In this way, Bai Hejing and Akai Shuichi spent a little time explaining their previous speculations.
"But why did the other person escape quietly?" After listening to the two people's explanations, the old detective asked doubtfully.
"It's very simple. It's naturally because that person has a reason to hide his identity." Akai Shuichi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a confident smile on his face.
"That's why...hiding."
"Has there been any robbery case in a watch shop near here before?" After his words fell, Bai Hejing asked.
"Yes, yes, almost an hour ago, it was a watch shop a few kilometers away from here..."
Being bombarded by the two people's reasoning in turn, the old detective looked at her in surprise, and his mind was almost confused by the two people.
"But how did you know? We probably haven't let the media report this yet..."
"This is the bag we found in that car."
Looking at the handbag placed next to the old detective, Bai Hejing explained:
"This bag contains a lot of brand-name watches without even removing the price tags. Although it is possible that they are workers transporting watches, but with such a rough transportation method that does not care about the scratches on the watches, I can only put this The two of them thought in the direction of the robbers."
After Bai Hejing finished speaking, Akai Shuichi continued: "So, in the watch store robbery, have any witnesses seen the appearance of the two robbers?"
Listening to the reasoning of the two people in front of him, Conan suddenly felt like his head was spinning, and he felt quite frustrated that the two people had already communicated quickly before he could exert any force.
"hateful……"
Bai Heying, who was being held by Yukiko, was sipping apple juice and looking at him with a troubled face in confusion.
"Well, I'm sorry."
Unconsciously, he became respectful to Bai Hejing and Akai Shuichi. The old detective said helplessly:
"Because the two people were wearing hoods and unidentifiable combat uniforms at the time, we could only tell that one of them was a male. As for the other one, we didn't even know whether he was a male or a female..."
[As expected. 】
Neither of them were too surprised by the old detective's answer. They had already made arrangements for it...
"Brother Xiuyi! Sister Jing!"
At this moment, Hideyoshi walked over waving his hand from a distance. Behind him, there were three people, two men and one woman.
These three people were exactly what Bai Hejing asked him to find before. They were the three people who went to Haizhijia to buy swimsuits after the car crashed into the sea.
