That was his first mission shortly after he graduated from the training base and was thrown into the mission hall by Gin to form a team and take on small missions to practice.
There were four people in the team at that time. Except for him, they were all students of the same generation and older than him.
Kuroki Jin remembers the code names of the other three: Rye, Bourbon, and Scotland. Thinking about it later, he sincerely felt that he was really lucky to be alive.
The task wasn't too difficult, especially since the other three in the team were pretenders except for him. This small task was easily completed.
But he had an accident.
When evacuating, it was customary to evacuate in a dispersed manner, but someone laid an ambush on the line he was walking on.
After narrowly escaping, Kuroki ran to the alley and ran out of energy. The wounds on his body were bleeding out, and he began to feel dizzy due to excessive blood loss.
He collapsed at the intersection and was in the hospital when he woke up. Next to them were two girls who looked young.
Mao Lilan was right, she and Yuanzi saved him.
The doctor gave him a blood transfusion and examined him, and also saw the wounds on his body. Combined with the previous wounds, he told the two girls that he was beaten like this by domestic violence.
The two girls couldn't help but look at him with compassion.
He asked for the card number of Sonoko who paid for his medical bills, promised to send her money back, and ran away while the two of them were discussing whether to call the police.
Later, he did get the money back, but he was owed the life-saving debt.
This is why...
Under the questioning of Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, Kuroki Jin nodded and confirmed their guesses, and received shouts of surprise from them.
"Did Mr. Kuroki recognize us a long time ago?" Xiaolan frowned slightly, while Yuanzi said carelessly that she was frightened when he left.
Kuroki Jin apologized and expressed his gratitude, and by the way confirmed Xiaolan's suspicion.
"You recognized me the first time you came to the store." He finally smiled, "It's just that I didn't think about what to say, and since you didn't recognize me, I decided not to say anything yet."
"Mr. Kuroki's smile is more pleasing to the eye." Sonoko curled her lips and muttered.
At this time, the forensic personnel handed the fingerprint comparison results to Takagi. Takagi took it and took a look at it before looking at Kuroki with disbelief.
Kuroki Ren: "..."
Okay, he knows, he can't hide it.
The appraisal results were handed to Megure. He only read the beginning and almost threw the list in his hand to the ground. He gave the list to Mouri Kogoro with an expression of disbelief.
Mouri Kogoro was silent. His hand holding the appraisal form was trembling slightly, and there was an obvious crease on the form, but Mu Mu didn't remind him to pay attention.
"Mr. Kuroki..." Megumi looked unclear, and his hesitation made the children present a little uneasy.
"What is the identification result?" Ruomu Wenren stepped forward and asked.
"Ah?" Memu paused after being interrupted, and then replied: "Ah, that's inconsistent."
The whole audience: "???"
Why is the tone so casual? Hey, wait, is it inconsistent? !
"It scared me to death. I thought Brother Ren would really be the murderer." Ayumi patted her chest, and the three children all said that the atmosphere at the scene was so strange that it scared them.
Conan looked serious, and Hui Yuan Ai frowned slightly. They both looked towards the middle of the field. Because Xiaolan and Yuanzi established their relationship with Kuroki Jin after telling the story, the three of them stood relatively close to each other. Considering that Mouri Kogoro and Kuroki had made a move before, the two of them were relatively far away, and between them was Megure, who had just come into contact with Mouri and took two steps towards Kuroki.
"Now, what else can Detective Mori say to send me to prison?" Kuroki Ren had a faint smile on his face, as if he really expected him to send him to prison.
"I didn't expect." Mouri Kogoro's voice sounded much duller than before, "I would actually see you here."
"Hangping-kun..."
"Don't call me that name!" Kuroki Jin interrupted him, dodging Maori Lan's pull and taking two steps forward before she could subconsciously take action, "Moori Kogoro, Officer Maori, the only thing I don't want you to call me is name."
Mouri Kogoro sighed, with a look of regret and shame on his face, which was no longer the same as before.
Before he chose to be a detective, he was also a policeman in the Metropolitan Police Department. He teamed up with Megure and solved many cases.
Although Megure would complain every time that all the cases became more complicated after having him, that was mostly a compliment.
Mouri Kogoro thinks a lot. An ordinary case will have several ways of committing the crime in his eyes, and he will infer many suspects from this, but each one of them is convincing.
In the limited number of years he has been handling cases, he has only handled one wrong case.
A white-collar worker from a medium-sized company took poison and died in the office. Based on the evidence at the scene, Mouri Kogoro, who led the team, concluded that the deceased committed suicide after being caught embezzling public funds.
The name of the deceased was Noriaki Fukasui. He had a virtuous wife and a lovely son. His son was only five years old at the time.
It's called Hinata Fukasui.
The breadwinner of the family died. The company refused to compensate and demanded a huge sum of money from his "embezzlement" from the family. The mother was so angry that she couldn't afford to get sick. She left her father in less than two months after having no money for medical treatment.
Only a five-year-old child was left and was sent to an orphanage.
Later, the case was overturned five years later. The police returned justice to Noriaki Fukamizu and arrested the boss of the company, the real culprit who embezzled public funds and harmed others. When Kogoro Mouri went to look for Hinata Fukasui again, he found that the orphanage he was staying in had closed down.
I don’t know if there is any reason for this, but Kogoro Mouri resigned that year and opened a detective agency with few customers.
Maori knows this case well, and so does Megure. Judging from Kuroki Jin's attitude, no one must know it better than him.
Mouri Kogoro seemed to have been drained of all his strength. After returning the identification sheet to Megure, he turned around and left.
The scene was silent, and they had no idea what was happening. Mumu didn't want to explain, but just ordered to continue investigating the case.
Since the fingerprints did not match, then Kuroki Jin was free, so he chose the direction that Mouri Kogoro left with a lot of people's questioning eyes.
Xiaolan couldn't let go and pulled Yuanzi to follow her. Conan wanted to solve the case but also wanted to know what was happening over there, so he had to ask Haibara Ai with his eyes.
Haibara Ai:"……"
The background board could not escape the fate of the tool man. She sighed helplessly and wanted to leave, but was entangled by the three children.
"Bumi just suspected that Brother Ren was the murderer. Bumi must apologize to Brother Ren."
The other two nodded in agreement.
Haibara Ai:……
Tired.
