Before the three children could run too far away, Kuroki Ren brought them back to the right path.
"Conan is still inside, let's not waste any time."
Distracted by Ayumi, the knight who saved the princess, the other two no longer came up with any clever ideas to attract the monster's hatred, and went upstairs and knocked on the door in a polite manner.
The person who opened the door was a young man. There were two strands of hair hanging from his forehead in front of his eyes. He had delicate features, but he looked a little panicked.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Since Tomosezuma only opened the door a crack, the first thing he saw was Kuroki Jin, but he didn't notice the children at his feet.
Kuroki put on a kind smile, introduced himself and said: "I am Miss Lan's friend. As you know, a case happened that night. My friend lost his memory because of the blow... I came just to think about it." Ask something."
There was a hint of hatred for the prisoner in his eyes, as well as sadness for what happened to his friends.
Youcheng really understands this feeling. He is also the same. His father suffered a heart attack while on duty. The policemen who accompanied him allowed his father to leave on his own. However, he died because the best time for rescue was exceeded...
The death of his father caused him a lot of hurt, so Mr. Kuroki would probably be very painful when he saw his friend lose his memory.
You Chengzhen sighed sadly and opened the door.
"Please come in... There is a bit of a mess at home, I hope you... don't mind."
When he opened the door, he saw several children behind Kuroki Ren, but he didn't think much about it, or even took a closer look at the children.
So I didn't know that when everyone came in, the original four children turned into five...
Kuroki Jin slapped Conan on the back of the head when the other party went to pour them water.
"There's only beer left at home...you guys should drink some water first."
You Chengzhen came over with six glasses of water and said a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, thank you." Kuroki Ren took the tray and distributed the water to others with him.
You Chengzhen sat down on the sofa, "I wonder what Mr. Kuroki came here to ask me?"
Just as Kuroki Jin was about to speak, the impatient Conan took away the right to speak:
"Brother A-Zhen, we heard from Officer Memu that you have appeared at the crime scene many times, so Brother Ren wanted to come and ask why-"
Kuroki Jin narrowed his eyes, then nodded and said, "It's exactly what Conan said. I came here to ask, what were you doing, Mr. Tomonari, when the crime occurred."
Youcheng was really silent. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up with a heavy look.
"I guess I can trust you, right?"
Youcheng really didn't believe the police, so he didn't give any information when the police questioned him. The police saw that he was the son of Officer Youcheng and felt a little sorry for him, so they didn't ask any more questions.
But he may not be able to solve the problems he encounters by himself.
Kuroki Jin came with his children. His friend was shocked and lost his memory after witnessing the murder scene. Tomo Inari thought that he would be a good helper.
"...The prisoner wants to use me as a scapegoat."
"Before Officer Nara was killed, someone called me with a robotic voice and asked me to go to that intersection, saying that he would tell me the truth about my father's death. I waited there for a while, and then I saw Officer Nara walking to the phone booth on the other side of the road. , just when I thought he was calling me over to confront him, I saw someone passing by, and then Officer Nara fell to the ground."
"I didn't dare to go there, and then when I got home I received a call again, saying that I was asked to go to the Green Terrace Park Building the next night. I went again... but not long after, I found Officer Zhi's body parked underground there. field. This time I know that the murderer is using me as a scapegoat."
"I didn't dare to go home, but went to the hotel to hide for the night. The next morning I called home from a shared phone and heard a police officer named Officer Sato leave a message for me, saying that he asked me to go to Rice Flower Sunshine the night before. Plaza Hotel... But when I arrived, I found it was full of police, so I found an opportunity to escape."
"However, Officer Sato... Mr. Kuroki, your friend also... I'm sorry."
The apology on Tomo Chengzhen's face didn't seem like he was faking it. He was really blaming himself for this incident, even though according to what he said, he was also the victim.
Kuroki Jin gently turned the cup on the table, and then suddenly laughed.
"I can't blame you, Mr. Touchi."
His smile is sincere and convincing.
"If you want to blame, you can only blame the real murderer... Of course, the premise is that Mr. Youcheng, what you said is true."
Although he can roughly judge that what You Chengzhen said just now is not adulterated, he is not a professional after all, and this judgment is just his intuition.
"Of course I - forget it, I can't prove myself."
"There is a way."
Tomo Chengzhen raised his head to look at him, and several children also looked at him.
"It's not an option for him to hide in the dark all the time. How about we lure him out."
——Night, Blue Parrot Bar.
Kuroki Jin never expected that the location chosen by Nitsuno Tamaki would be here. This is not a place where he often travels, but is closer to Ekoda District.
"Do you know how much effort it takes for me to trick people into coming here?" He said to Nino Tamaki, who was acting as a temporary waiter.
"If you're not tempted, it's okay to break the appointment." Ringo Nino gave him a glass of wine expressionlessly, "I'll replace the wine in his glass with this later. Don't worry, I know what he usually orders."
"It seems that you have done a lot of homework."
Kuroki looked at the amber liquid in the cup and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"As long as I feed him this glass of wine, our deal is done, right?"
"What do you mean?" There was a hint of vigilance in Renye Huan's eyes.
Kuroki Ren laughed, "Don't be nervous, what you think is not what I mean, I mean, I can designate the reward, right?"
Before Nino Tamaki could ask again, Kuroki Jin raised his head slightly and pointed to the front not far away, "That person, the owner of this bar, I want his information."
Nino Tamaki followed his gaze and found an ordinary old man cleaning a cup. He couldn't help but wonder: "Is there anything special about him?"
"This is not within the scope of compensation explanation." Kuroki Ren laughed.
Nino Tamaki agreed. She didn't seem to think the task was difficult, and she even breathed a sigh of relief. At least it was much better than what she had originally expected.
At this moment, the target person arrived.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Kuroki Ren sitting at the bar. As for the waiter next to him, he simply ignored him. He walked over in a few steps and sat next to Kuroki Ren, complaining:
"There are so many bars here, why come here...it made me drive an extra hour."
"It's only one hour, no trouble." Kuroki Jin naturally ended the conversation with Nino Tamaki, and the other party turned his back to Odagiri Toshi and left without attracting the slightest attention.
"Have a drink and go smoothly. It's just served."
Min also smiled after taking the wine. He drank it in one gulp without forgetting to praise: "As expected of you, you even know what I like to drink."
Kuroki Jin smiled.
