As soon as Mouri Kogoro finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Kuroki Jin.
Kuroki Jin, who was originally eliminating options, was stunned for a moment, then gradually fell silent after he realized what he was doing.
"It can't be Brother Ren!" It was the children who were the first to express their anger. After experiencing Anaisuki's duplicity, they obviously lacked confidence when they said this. Everyone present could hear this lack of confidence. Out.
Edogawa Conan's eyes lit up. If he impugned Jin Kuroki to jail, would he be able to spy on the secrets of the organization during the investigation?
Conan looked excited, which made Haibara Ai, who was hiding beside him and did not want to face the organization's aura, express doubts.
Her question remained unspoken.
"I had no time, no motive." Kuroki Jin explained, "Officer Megure knew best that night. I sent the children home after the case and then went back to the candy house to sleep."
"I can prove it. Brother Kuromu gave me the bed and slept on the sofa." Ruomu Wenren added an explanation.
"What time was it then?" Mu Mu asked.
"Uh..." Ruomu Wenren suddenly got stuck, "Probably, less than a little."
"That is to say, Mr. Kuroki can wait for you to fall asleep before sneaking out." Mouri Kogoro reasoned confidently, "He returned to the candy house and gave the bed to you just to make you feel absent. Prove it, otherwise he can send you back home."
"And Mr. Kuroki doesn't have a house, right?" Conan interjected, "I remember you said that your home is in Cupido Town." His wide-eyed look was simple, but his words were too directional.
"So what." There was no emotion or anger on Kuroki Ren's face, but he looked a bit scary without that warm smile.
"Conan-kun, how can you say that?" Ayumi's eyes were filled with tears, "Brother Ren is obviously so gentle..." She couldn't continue mid-sentence, because in her eyes, Sister Yuji was also very gentle.
Haibara Ai avoided the position between Conan and Ayumi. She couldn't stand Ayumi's mouthful of [Brother Ren].
It was easy for her to replace Tissue Gin's cold face.
"Ruomu, can you confirm that Kuroki stayed in the candy house all night?" Mumu asked again.
Kuromu Ren wanted to say that he could, but if he said it too absolutely, it would definitely be considered as perjury in order to prevent Kuromu Ren from being suspected, so he was stuck in place without answering.
Kuroki Jin:......
"Where's the evidence?" He still didn't panic and asked calmly, but his current state made a few people who knew him slightly uneasy.
Kuroki Jin has always been docile. He has never been angry or angry, and he is always smiling. Even if he is sometimes in a bad mood, he will show his emotions on his face and tell you that I am unhappy. Please comfort me. Children usually make trouble. As soon as it happened, he started laughing again.
But he has never had this expression before.
Haibara Ai recalled that even when the organization was being squeezed by Yulu, being pointed at gunpoint by Gin, and being assigned tedious tasks, etc., Kuroki Jin would only smile and say yes.
why? Is it just because he was slandered as a murderer?
"The forensics officer said that the victim died between 3 and 5 in the morning, and the body was found at 8:05 in the morning, and we found fingerprints on the murder weapon that did not belong to the victim."
The latter point was unknown to Kuroki Jin. He frowned as if he expected what Megure would say next.
"We want to take your fingerprints, you see..."
fingerprint.
Kuroki closed his eyes and kept silent. His resistant attitude was obvious to everyone.
"Mr. Kuroki?" Suzuki Sonoko, who had remained silent but firmly believed that Kuroki Jin would not be the murderer, opened her eyes wide.
Mouri Kogoro thought he had captured key evidence, so he took a step forward and pulled Kuroki's sleeve, "You can't run away, you are worthy of my famous detective Mouri."
Before he could finish his words, Kuroki suddenly grabbed his outstretched hand, and then smashed his right hand into his face.
Mouri Kogoro did not expect that Kuroki Jin would make a sudden move, but he had rich experience in actual combat. After dodging the fist with a side step, he would throw him over the shoulder.
Fighting is Kuroki Jin's specialty. His lower body was so strong that Maori couldn't lift him up, but his hands were holding his arms, trying to throw him to the ground.
It was very difficult for Maori to dodge an attack without any preparation. It was certainly not a good thing for Kuroki Jin to graduate from the organization. After being dodged once, he didn't expect Maori to react so quickly.
Just when Mouri Kogoro was about to be crushed to the ground, Kuroki Jin stopped his hand and stepped back, avoiding the sound of breaking wind.
"Dad, are you okay?"
It's Xiaolan. She lifted up Kogoro Mouri and looked at Jin Kuroki with a solemn expression, surprised at his skill and angry at his action.
"Why?" she asked, "Is Mr. Kuroki really the murderer?" She also couldn't believe it, but she couldn't find any other reason why Kuroki refused to take fingerprints and took action against her father.
"Mr. Maori, does he only rely on his words to slander people as murderers?" Kuroki Jin bit each word hard, his face was condensed, and his eyes were filled with anger.
He exerted so much force that even his lips turned white, and his whole body was trembling slightly, as if he was suppressing something.
"Mr. Kuroki!" Police Department Megure stepped forward and shouted, "Brother Maori just wants you to compare your fingerprints."
"Okay, I'll compare it for you." Kuroki Ren sneered, his eyes staring at Kogoro Mouri who had already stood up without any hesitation, "I really hope that Mr. Mouri will personally send me to prison so that our family can be reunited." Three mouthfuls.”
As he spoke, everyone present was a little surprised. Even Takagi, who stepped forward to collect fingerprints, couldn't help but stop and stood there not knowing whether he should step forward or not.
At this time, Xiaolan pointed at Kuroki Ren and shouted in surprise.
"You, you are..." She didn't know how to describe it, and she couldn't finish her words even after being mumbling for a long time. Finally, she took two anxious steps back and pulled Suzuki Sonoko out of the crowd and said, "Is he? The one before, the one we sent to the hospital?”
Suzuki Sonoko looked confused, Kuroki Jin's originally stern face softened slightly, and he let Takagi collect his fingerprints without any struggle.
"That's right, it was the young man in black clothes who was covered in injuries as if he had been domestically abused four or five years ago. You also advanced his medical expenses." Mao Lilan explained.
When she said this, Yuanzi also remembered. The scene of the dying boy lying on the ground covered in blood was a shadow of her childhood. Later, she learned from the doctor that if he hadn't been sent to him in time, he might not have even died.
Looking at it this way, the facial features of Kuroki Jin, who is not smiling, are indeed very similar to that boy from before. Especially the stern face and those very cold eyes, Sonoko will never forget them.
The anger in Kuroki's heart was mixed up by the two of them, leaving him with only a slight sigh.
This was the wrong time to recognize him.
