Roughly as above. "So that's how it is, and it's quite clearly written." Kosuke Kindaichi was very happy, scratching his head vigorously, and said, "Well... From this, it can be seen that Akiko Isono and Kuranhime, that is, Shinno Miss Zhushu, the two are graduates of the same girls' school, and they are also the same age. So, did they know each other before?"

"Yes. It was because of this kind of relationship that I introduced her to the store at the request of Ms. Shinno Tsumuki..." "Ah, so, after entering the company, she also has a special connection with you?" "No, there is no such thing." Suo Guliusuke said expressionlessly, "When Xin Ye Zhushu came to beg me, I had an interview with her once, and at that time, I only thought that she was a girl with a good personality, so I helped her." After that, I didn’t even have a decent chat. In fact, before this investigation of all relevant personnel information, I even completely forgot that I was her introducer ..."

"Ah, what about her and Miss Shinno Tamaki? Are they still friends since then?" "Ah, it's hard to say. Xin Ye Zhushu didn't seem to have mentioned the girl's name later on. The so-called friendship between classmates in the girls' school period is probably nothing more than this. After all, the family environment is too different." "That's true. Even if you want to communicate with the salesman, it may be difficult. Ms. Isono has been working in the military supplies factory during the war, isn't she?" Kindaichi Kosuke said, and quickly glanced at the name of the person, "Ah , this girl named Shibazaki Zhujiang, she also worked in a quilt factory, right?"

"It seems so. I only found out this time..." Liusuke Suoya nodded, "After all, everyone was kicked out during the war. Young single girls were conscripted everywhere." "But Ms. Xinye Zhushu escaped the catastrophe because of the school factory, right?... Haha, the daughter of the rich family and the girl of the poor family can be seen even from this kind of place. It's different." "It's not possible." Mr. Suoya's face was a little unhappy, "The school and factory are not easy. By the way, I heard that there were also bombs dropped on the women's university, and Ms. Shinno Zhuki was also buried alive."

"Haha, because it's your fiancée, let's defend her." Kazuko Kaneda smiled twice, then continued to look at the list with his head down, "Forget it, forget it. This girl named Fushimi Junko, she also Was it conscripted elsewhere?" "What?..." Kusaya Rokusuke looked at Kosuke Kindaichi in astonishment, "I haven't investigated this point... What, you mean, the expropriation matter is related to this case?" "Oh, not really, I'm just asking casually. Before going to the scene, I want to meet Ms. Shinno Takeki...is that okay?" "I'm afraid this won't work. Before I came here, I also stopped by to see Miss once. She is still in a coma... Besides, to ensure that she can be interrogated immediately after waking up, the police are guarding her. Outsiders may be I won't let you see."

"Ah, that's right, that's a pity. Why did Ms. Shinno Tamaki bring a dagger stained with blood..." Kosuke Kindaichi muttered to himself, "If she wasn't the murderer, something must have gone wrong. If we can talk to her, we will understand the situation in the middle, but there is no way. In short, let's go to the scene to take a look." To be honest, Zaoya Liusuke was completely disillusioned with this poor detective.What can this shabby triangular office in this strange triangular building do?Thinking of this, Suiya Liusuke almost lost the strength to walk with him.

However, since I took the initiative to send it to my door, it's hard to refuse now. "Then, I'll take you there." Suo Gu Liusuke had no choice but to agree. Although the "Triangle Building" where Kosuke Kindaichi is located is a strange building, it is located in the back street of Ginza, so it is not far from Yebisuya Department Store, less than ten minutes' walk away. After arriving at the department store, Suoya Liusuke asked, "Should we go directly to Sanke?" "Ah, let's take a look at the seventh floor first. Are all the people from the coffee shop here?"

"Probably all have come." As one wished, all the people in the coffee shop came.The female shop assistants were all terrified by yesterday's case. However, they were probably afraid that once they took a break, they would be suspicious of others for no reason. In addition, they were also deeply curious about what happened next, so they worked extremely hard. The number of customers in the coffee shop also increased instead of falling because of yesterday's case. The tables and seats were all full, and the two girls were called around. "Yes, it's the private seat over there. The man was opening the newspaper there. Since his face was covered by the newspaper, we didn't notice it at all." Sure enough, only the private seat that attracted everyone's attention was empty. "However, because it was too quiet... Uh, he probably didn't move for a long time. I thought it was strange, so I took a closer look, yo, the newspaper was taken down. I was so scared at the time, Ayako and I was shaking. Right?" "Well, yes. At this moment, the boss came out..." Since this morning, Ayako and Kiyoko have repeated the same words countless times.In the process of repetition, the conversation between the two gradually became smoother, and they were both very proud. "Well, so the boss tried to pull the newspaper?" a customer asked with great interest. "Well, yes, it was closing time, and he was still motionless, so the boss went to greet him, but there was no response, so..." "The private seat over there? That's the private seat, right? It happened around eight o'clock last night, right?" At this time, someone suddenly stepped in from the side. He turned out to be a regular customer of this coffee shop and worked in the commercial company on the sixth floor. "Well, that's right. By the way, Mr. Kawasaki, wasn't there last night? Do you remember that person?" "I don't remember his appearance. But, looking back now, that person seems to be dressed to hide from the public. At the beginning, he was alone. After ordering a cup of coffee, he started to read the newspaper, deliberately covering his face with the newspaper, Then a woman came in, and the two sat together..." "You still remember these? What kind of woman is that?" "The woman couldn't see her face because she was wearing a black veil... After the woman sat down in front of the man, the man re-ordered two cups of coffee." Speaking of this, Kawasaki suddenly smiled, pointed at Ayako and said, "Yes Now, it seems to be you, the waiter who brought two new cups after taking away the empty coffee cups..." "Really?...I've forgotten all about it long ago, after all Jing is the busiest time..." Ayako hastened to prevaricate with words, "By the way, so there are three cups of coffee on the bill. That is to say, the man had two drinks." "Yes, and then, someone put potassium cyanide in the remaining glass." "Piding is the woman with the veil. She went out temporarily and then came back. I remember when she came in, before the coffee was served." "Well, I'm afraid I forgot something important. That kind of important evidence that will be revealed immediately once a crime is discovered, so I came back to get it." "Maybe. However, that woman is too courageous. If the murder has been revealed at this time, what should she do?" "That's why she risked her life to come back. She must have forgotten something important." At this moment, Kosuke Kindaichi quietly entered the coffee shop under the guidance of Rokusuke Susaya. The emergence of Kawasaki, a new witness, played an important role in the detection of the case.Kosuke Kindaichi was very interested in the scene where the woman wearing the veil had come twice, so he stopped Kawasaki to ask the truth. However, apart from the aforementioned situation, he did not notice any other suspicious signs. "Yes, after the veiled woman came in, she ordered two cups of coffee, and then both of them leaned out, talking in a low voice. I don't know what happened afterwards. Because I left soon, when the two Everyone is still here." "Thank you very much. It is best to report this matter to the police." Afterwards, Kosuke Kindaichi stopped the boss, Ayako and Kiyoko to inquire carefully, but found nothing new, so he rushed to the first scene.
