Chapter 862 I treat you as my best friend, and you want my body?"Garden!"
Xiaolan let out a resentful sound.
But in her heart, she has long been accustomed to the teasing words from her best friend.
With a helpless sigh, she explained, "Giving up on the case is definitely impossible. He is the kind of person who won't give up halfway. Once he sets a goal, he will stick to it to the end even if it means death."
"Really? You're childhood sweethearts after all..."
Yuanzi put her hands together and placed them on her chin like a nympho, like a shy little girl, and said in a weird tone: "Haha~ I just like it, I like it, I like this place of his the most!"
As she said this, she put her mouth towards Xiaolan: "Come here, dear Xiaolan, give me a kiss!"
"Yuanzi, stop talking nonsense!"
Xiaolan's face flushed red, and she pushed her away helplessly: "I just said that he is a stubborn old man who insists on doing anything to the end!"
"Hey, is that so?"
Sonoko hugged Xiaolan and pestered her: "Then you should forget about Kudo, let's kiss each other first!"
Xiaolan: "Huh?!!!"
I treat you as my best friend, but you actually want my body?
"Cough hum!"
Fujino saw that Kiku was getting harder and harder to control, and the scent of lilies filled the air. He coughed lightly and stretched out his hand to separate the two of them: "Okay, Sonoko, stop teasing Xiaolan. Let's see what you two will do if we really kiss each other later."
"Oh yes, yes!"
Hearing this, Sonoko retracted her lips: "After all, her first kiss should be given to dear Shinichi!"
"..."
Xiaolan is completely numb to her best friend.
One moment he said he wanted to break up, the next moment he teased her.
"Okay, I was just joking!"
Seeing Xiaolan's expression, Sonoko naturally knew there was a limit, so she changed the subject and suggested, "Anyway, let's not talk about Kudo for now, let's go to Teacher Judy's house tonight and have a party!"
"What kind of party is this suddenly?"
Xiaolan was already used to her best friend's eccentric personality, but she still couldn't help asking out of curiosity.
"It's a farewell party!"
Yuanzi explained: "Teacher Judy has taught us for such a long time. Before she leaves, of course we have to get together and say goodbye to her!"
"What a good idea!"
Xiaolan agreed with Sonoko's proposal, but she still wanted to ask the person concerned for his decision: "Teacher Judy, do you think it's okay?"
"Of course I have no opinion, OK!"
Judy agreed in plastic Japanese and looked very happy.
However, her peripheral vision briefly swept over Fujino's body.
Come to think of it, her apartment is now her base.
Will we be discovered by this detective?
Well, I don't think so. The detective must be very busy.
I took a day off yesterday.
You probably won't attend any gatherings among girls, right?
Judy thought for a moment and asked Fujino, "What about Fujino-san? Do you want to join us for a gathering?"
"Of course I have to go!"
Fujino crossed his arms and nodded: "I think what Sonoko said is right. After all, Teacher Judy has taught us for such a long time, we really need to say her off before she leaves."
Judy: "..." How come I didn't know you liked me so much?
"Then let's go to the convenience store in front of the auto show!"
"Yuanzi, are you talking about the family where Xiaoxuan works?"
“Is there a student named this in our class?”
"That's our junior high school classmate, he has a very cheerful personality."
"And she is very strong. She will come out to work when she has time."
"Teacher Judy, you and her will definitely get along well!"
…………
Everyone walked slowly to the station.
We came to a convenience store called [SUNDAYMART].
The convenience store does not occupy a very large area, which is equivalent to the size of a department store, but in a place like Neon, it is still considered large.
Everyone entered the store and asked the cashier.
Then, I heard a shout from the warehouse nearby: "How many times do I have to tell you before you understand?"
"When our store reaches peak traffic hours, we are always short-staffed, so we ask you to come and help."
"If you keep going like this, I'm going to fire you and find a new replacement!"
A few people followed the sound and saw a man scolding a girl harshly.
The man was probably middle-aged, wearing glasses, had a square chin, squinting eyes, high upturned eyebrows, and deep nasolabial lines. He should be a serious person, and his lips were very thick, giving people a sour and mean feeling.
The girl who was scolded lowered her head, not daring to raise it. She looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with short black hair and a dark red coat with a pink sweater underneath. She looked a little pretty and immature, with drooping eyebrows and a few freckles on her cheeks. She looked like a low-profile, weak version of Sato Miwako.
Mao Lilan recognized the girl at a glance: "Xiao Xuan, what happened?"
"orchid!"
When Nanakawa Xuan saw Xiaolan, she threw herself into her arms with tears in her eyes, looking very aggrieved.
The middle-aged man turned around, put his hands on his hips and looked at the few people: "Who are you?"
Suzuki Sonoko was furious when she saw her good friend being bullied. She wanted to stand up for her good friend, and said in a fierce manner, "I should be the one asking you this question. We are all good friends of Xiaoxuan. Why do you, an old man, want to bully her?"
Judy was calmer, her face was normal, and she asked with a smile: "I'm a high school English teacher. What happened?"
"It's actually nothing."
The man glanced at Judy and thought she was Nanakawa Xuan's teacher: "It's just that the sales of the store recently don't match the numbers in the warehouse, and this only happens on the days when she is on duty, so..."
"So you think it was Xiaoxuan who did it?"
Yuanzi frowned: "Why do you think about Xiaoxuan like this? It's really too much, isn't it?"
"Yeah, why do you insist it's Xiao Xuan?"
"Maybe one of the customers stole it!"
Xiaolan agreed with Yuanzi's guess: "I've heard from Xiaoxuan before that this store has a lot of customers in the morning. Maybe someone really came at that time..."
"Of course I know what you are talking about."
Before Xiaolan could finish her words, she was interrupted by the middle-aged man, who then walked out of the warehouse and pointed to the surveillance camera on the roof of the convenience store: "So when I renovated the store before, I installed four surveillance cameras, and then checked the surveillance, and there was no such customer at all."
Yuanzi crossed her arms and thought, "It could have been done by a thief!"
"Of course I thought of that."
The middle-aged man explained, "So last night I parked my car opposite here and watched at the door all night, but no one came except her when she came out after cleaning and closed the shutter door. Then the next morning I came again, and the amount didn't match. Who else could have taken it if not her?"
Fujino frowned upon hearing this, and glanced at Nanakawa Xuan who was aggrieved in Xiaolan's arms. He thought about what the man in front of him said, then paid attention to the key point and asked in a deep voice: "So, what evidence do you have? Did you see Xiao Xuan taking the goods in the surveillance camera with your own eyes, or did you catch him in the act?"
