Chapter 247 Nilu's Stage Request
There were three suspects, and Barbara certainly couldn't be one of them.
From listening to Mizuno Ai's testimony before, it seemed that she was just a little jealous of Nelue, but she didn't have any ill intentions. Xia Xi felt that she didn't seem like someone who would do that kind of thing.
Now only Yoko Murata is left, and Xia Xi feels that she is the most suspicious one.
After hearing what Murata Yoko said, Hattori Heiji's eyes moved, and he looked at Murata Yoko and asked, "You said you left the practice room after seeing that there was no one there. There is basically no obstruction in the practice room, and you can tell whether there is anyone inside with just a glance. Then why did the surveillance show that you stayed in the practice room for 5 minutes? So, besides looking for someone, what else did you do in there?"
Murata Yoko felt a little uncomfortable under Hattori Heiji's sharp gaze. She stuttered and answered, "I was a little depressed at the time. I was worried that it would affect my work later. I saw that there was no one in the practice room, so I stayed in there for a while to sort out my mood."
"Is that so?" Hattori Heiji nodded, then exchanged a thoughtful look with Conan.
"I would like to ask Ms. Murata, what is the dispute between you and Nelue over the stage arrangement? What are Nelue's requirements, and why does Ms. Murata think it is too strict and cannot be done?" At this time, Kamisato Ayaka stepped forward and asked in a gentle tone.
Yoko Murata frowned slightly and replied, "Ms. Nilu wanted to put more flowers on the stage, saying it was related to the dance she performed."
Ayumi was puzzled: "I think this request is very simple, and there are flowers on the stage, which sounds very beautiful. Why can't it be done?"
Murata Yoko looked down at Ayumi who interrupted her, paused, and explained awkwardly: "This is not difficult to do, but Miss Nilu has too many requirements for those flowers.
Moreover, some types of flowers do not bloom now, but she did not listen and just asked me to prepare them according to her requirements, saying that she had a way to make the flowers bloom in these two days.
To be honest, I don't really believe what Miss Nilu said, so I have been discussing with her whether we can change some types of flowers, at least not choose plants that are unlikely to bloom now.
But Miss Nilu insisted that she had a way, so...”
"So that's how it is. Is there really a way to change the flowering period of flowers?" Mitsuhiko looked up and asked curiously.
"There is a way to do this, but generally speaking it has to be done a long time in advance. I have never heard of controlling the flowering period just one or two days in advance like this." Subaru Okiya touched his chin, frowned slightly and thought for a while before answering. His eyes revealed a hint of confusion and puzzlement, as if he was very surprised by the idea of controlling the flowering period in such a short period of time.
Hearing what Okiya Subaru said, Murata Yoko nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I said it was impossible, but Miss Nilu insisted again and again, saying that this would have the best stage effect. It's almost enough, but she just wanted to torment me..."
As she spoke, she shook her head helplessly. At the end, her voice gradually became softer, and she seemed to realize that she shouldn't complain like that.
"By the way, where is Miss Nelue? Didn't they say that she wasn't hurt? Why isn't she at the scene now?" When talking about the conflict between Nelue and Murata Yoko, Hattori Heiji realized that the main person involved in this incident has not appeared. He frowned, looked at the police beside him in confusion and asked.
"Oh, Miss Nilu said that a friend was coming to see her, and she wanted to go pick him up." The policeman was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head, as if he was a little unsure, and then replied: "So after asking Miss Nilu some necessary questions, I let her go pick up her friend first."
Seeing Hattori's brows slowly furrowing, he immediately added: "Don't worry, Hattori, Miss Nilu said she will be back on site soon."
Hattori Heiji muttered to himself: This is a critical time after the case happened, how can the witness be allowed to leave at will? But he also understood that now is not the time to pursue this, so he can only temporarily put aside his doubts and wait for Nel to come back.
Then, the police officer looked at suspect number three and tried to change the subject, saying, "Let's quickly question the last suspect first."
Hattori Heiji shook his head helplessly. The person involved was not at the scene. Even if he had any questions, he had to wait until Nel came back. He could only turn his head and look at the last suspect, who was also Xia Xi's other friend, Barbara.
