Chapter 708 Pretty Boy
"Huh, is that so?" Suddenly, a tall, thin man wearing sunglasses stood up and challenged Amuro Toru, "Don't you want to kill the woman you love before she becomes someone else's wife, Mr. Waiter?"
Amuro Toru was stunned by the sudden accusation, his eyes revealed a little confusion: "Ah?"
Chu Ming was halfway through his drink when he heard this. He nearly choked when he heard this. He used paper to wipe off the drink that sprayed out of his mouth and used it to cover the corners of his mouth that he could not cover.
Beloved woman? Isn't this country what Touko loves?
Oh no, it should be organized now, right?
"Wait, what is going on? Explain clearly what is going on." Inspector Megure looked left and right and found that the topic jumped so suddenly that he was a little confused. His expression was like that of a person who was distracted for a while in math class and found that the class had suddenly changed from a simple 1+1 to how to verify the Riemann hypothesis.
"If you don't want to say it, let me say it for you." When Banba heard this, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists and pointed a finger at Amuro Toru, "That guy is the gigolo that Hatsune has been secretly meeting with!!!"
"puff--"
Chu Ming ultimately lost the last sip of his drink and ended up throwing it on the table.
What a pretty boy, what a confusing statement, this must be a mockery of Amuro Toru, right?
"Is this true?" Inspector Megure turned his eyes to Amuro Toru with a hint of gossip in his eyes.
"Of course it's not true." Amuro Toru took off his square-framed glasses, revealing his sharp eyes. "Although I did meet Miss Hatsune in private, it was not the kind of relationship that Mr. Banba said. To be honest, I am actually a private detective hired by Miss Hatsune."
As he spoke, Toru Amuro took out his business card and handed it to Inspector Megure and the escort: "Amuro Detective Agency, case handling, marriage investigation, finding people and things, and other services are welcome to consult."
"Are you the detective hired by Hatsune? How could it be such a coincidence that you happen to be working as a waiter here?" Banba didn't believe Amuro Toru's words at all. He turned to look at Inspector Megure, "Mr. Officer, there must be something wrong with this person. I suggest you investigate thoroughly!"
Conan on the side kept silent, but nodded his head vigorously in his heart, yes, yes, we must investigate thoroughly, there must be something wrong with this so-called detective!!!
"Of course it's not such a coincidence. I came here on purpose." Amuro Toru looked at Banba, "I came here specifically to monitor you."
"Spying on me?" The chaperone was a little stunned.
"Of course, Miss Hatsune hired me to investigate whether you, who are frivolous about relationships, have other girlfriends. However, since Miss Hatsune has unfortunately passed away in the fire in the parking lot, I have no way to prove it. But when I reported my investigation report on Mr. Banba to Miss Hatsune, the gentleman with sunglasses should have heard it." Amuro Toru turned his eyes to the tall and thin man who jumped out at the beginning, "Right, my colleague."
The tall and thin man was suddenly called out, and he didn't react for a moment. Instead, Officer Megure beside him was shocked: "He's a detective too?"
Inspector Megure looked around the crowd and felt that he might have stumbled upon a detective's nest. There were so many talented people at the small wedding scene, and detectives were everywhere.
"Yes, his client should be Mr. Banba, right?" Amuro Toru said with a look of seeing through. "Mr. Banba should have asked him to investigate whether Miss Hatsune had secretly met with someone. However, although this detective found our meeting place, he didn't see my face clearly because I was wearing a hat and a windbreaker. He just heard my voice. So you called me over to order food just now to confirm it, am I right?"
The tall and thin man nodded. "That's true. I was wondering why I got rid of you when I followed you. It turns out you are also a detective."
Maori Kogoro looked at the development of the situation and patted Banba's shoulder: "Then why don't you entrust me to investigate? If it were me, I would be able to see through this kind of frivolous detective at a glance."
Being criticized as frivolous, Toru Amuro widened his eyes, glanced at Maori Kogoro in disbelief, and then looked down at his clothes. How could he be frivolous? Wasn't he dressed quite decently? But thinking that he had accepted Hatsune's commission just to get close to Maori Kogoro, Toru Amuro still endured Maori Kogoro's slander against him.
"You're so famous, others will know at a glance that you're a famous detective, how can they investigate secretly? And I'm planning to introduce you to Hatsune." Banba looked out the window at the car that was burned black by the fire, his eyes empty and painful.
"But if you had entrusted me, perhaps this tragedy would not have happened. The reason why Hatsune committed suicide might have been because this kid exaggerated your performance in the restaurant just now and told her about it, so she acted on impulse..." Kogoro Mouri glanced at Toru Amuro with a meaningful look.
Amuro Toru waved his hands in panic: "Don't talk nonsense, I would never do such a thing! Why would I call Miss Hatsune like this? Besides, we are all adults, it's not a small matter to commit suicide!"
Looking at Toru Amuro who was skillfully acting cute with his big innocent eyes, Chu Ming sneered. He was almost thirty years old and still pretending to be young. How shameless.
Speaking of cell phones, Officer Megure suddenly remembered something. He looked at the host and said, "I heard that you received a call from Miss Hatsune before the car caught fire?"
It's no wonder that Inspector Megure thinks too much. He has handled many cases. Most murderers would use the act of answering the phone to prove their alibi, so it's natural for him to suspect that Ban Chang was also directing and acting in this case, using the phone to clear himself of suspicion.
And there is more than one suspicious point about Banchang. After Hatsune had her manicure done, she sent Banchang a text message to inform him of the time she would be back. Also, dandruff tissue containing Banchang's DNA was detected in the manicure that fell near her car door, so Banchang is now the most suspicious one.
With all the evidence against him, he had no choice but to accept the police's advice and collect DNA for a detailed DNA comparison with the dandruff inside the manicure.
Conan frowned, feeling completely confused by this case. If the murderer was Mr. Banchang, how did he get out and start the fire? The back door was locked, and only the front door was accessible. Although the bathroom window allowed one to go out, there was a huge puddle outside the window. If he walked through there, the cake marks on his shoes would not have remained...
Just as Conan was brainstorming, Xiaolan turned her gaze from Banba who was doing a DNA test to Conan, with a thoughtful look in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
