"Not Gin? How is that possible? Isn't he the person in charge?"
At night, in an apartment in Mikka Town.
Miyano Akemi, who was sitting on her knees in front of the tatami, arranging her clothes, had a slightly worried look on her eyebrows. Directly opposite her, a girl with the height and appearance of an elementary school student was staring intently at the scrolling police information on the screen of her mobile phone.
"No, strictly speaking, Gin is not the person in charge of the Tokyo branch. There is another person in charge of this area. Judging from the information provided by the police, the Pisco who was sent away early is very suspicious."
Miyano Shiho bit his finger and fell into deep thought.
This was given to her by the policeman named Katsumi Uehara, and it covered in great detail all the circumstances of the police from the time they met Miyano Akemi to the present.
The trust surprised her.
Since waking up, she feels as if the whole world has changed drastically - she has returned to her childhood, her sister is not dead yet, and even the police she meets are full of trust in her.
This series of situations that exceeded her expectations filled her heart with a sense of unreality at the moment.
"Shiho, don't you... don't you know Pisco?" Mingmei, who was folding her clothes, felt sad when she thought of the organization. Considering her sister's status in the organization, she subconsciously asked.
"I don't know. Sister, you also know my situation. Freedom is limited, although I didn't care about it at first." After shaking his head, Hui Yuan Ai put away his phone and looked up at his sister: "Sister, can you follow me? Shall I tell you Katsumi Uehara?”
"Officer Uehara? What's wrong?"
"I don't know, but my instinct from being in the organization for so many years tells me that there's something anomalous and out of character about what he's doing."
Thinking about the only moment when the two met, facing the only person she trusted in the world, Haibara Ai confessed all her doubts: "As a policeman, he gave me a very strange feeling, as if Very knowledgeable about me and the organization.
"But what's puzzling is that he shows no clue about the concept of the organization. It seems that he only knows the code names of some organization members, and he doesn't even know the location of the organization's permanent stronghold.
"He could even agree to let me live in the bald doctor's house next door to Kudo Shin's family, because you know that I am an organized person.
"Moreover, it was just our first meeting, but he actually sent all the top-secret police information to me without authorization. This is completely inconsistent with police regulations."
"..."
Miyano Akemi paused while folding her clothes, and subconsciously opened her mouth to say something, but she swallowed the words when she reached her lips.
She had a headache.
My sister's vigilance seems to be a little too much.
But it's normal to think about it. After all, she had been living in the shadow of the organization before this.
"Is there a possibility that Officer Uehara is really a good policeman who treats people sincerely?" After considering the words, Miyano Akemi said: "Shihozu may not know that Officer Uehara is really a genuine hero. .”
"hero?"
Hui Yuan Ai frowned. After staying in the organization for a long time, she was a little sensitive to this word, and could even be said to sneer at it.
"Wait a minute, I'll find you some newspapers. Strictly speaking, although Officer Uehara is still very young, he enjoys a very high reputation within the entire Metropolitan Police Department. Shiho, there is no need for you to worry about this."
Putting down the newly bought children's clothes, Miyano Akemi got up and rummaged through the cabinets, and then pushed a stack of newspapers in front of her sister——
Covering the top, there are huge white letters on a black background: "Super Cop: The Hero of the Metropolitan Police Department!" 》
Under the eye-catching title is a photo of Katsumi Uehara in a suit and tie standing in front of the media camera for an interview.
"As a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, according to the investigation report of the 1st Police Department, Officer Uehara, who graduated from the police academy a year ago and was assigned to the Metropolitan Police Department, behaves energetically and conscientiously every day, never being late or leaving early. …”
Looking down along the photo, what came into view were the praises from all sides published by the Tokyo Daily News, although Haibara Ai didn't quite understand why these could be cited as praise for his merits.
"Due to confidentiality, the police did not release the details of the serial murder case solved by Officer Uehara, but it is true that Officer Uehara almost died because of that case. He lay in the hospital for a long time after being rescued. According to the news It’s all reported.”
Seeing that her sister was engrossed in reading the contents of the newspaper, Miyano Akemi took the initiative to act as the commentator. After listening, Haibara Ai suddenly fell into silence.
"Sister, please do me a favor when the time comes, after I move into the house of that man named Dr. A Li."
After a long time, Huiyuan Ai finally spoke.
"Shiho, what do you want to do?"
"I don't think it's that simple for him to agree to let me live in. The house is most likely equipped with hidden surveillance equipment. If I were a police officer, I would do this."
Using yourself to save others, Hui Yuan Ai felt that she was not wrong in thinking so.
At the same time, in the apartment living room——
"Shinichi, why do you keep such a straight face? That kid looks okay."
The arrogant Dr. Agas looked strangely at Conan, who had been sullen and expressionless since arriving here with the Miyano Akemi sisters, and said doubtfully: "Officer Uehara said there is no problem."
"She comes from the Black Organization, a group of extremely vicious people in that organization, Doctor." Conan, who was turning his glass, lowered his head slightly, and the reflective lenses covered his eyes: "Not to mention, she still manufactured that kind of drug. Do you think there will be fewer lives on her hands?"
"this……"
Hearing this, Dr. A Li looked hesitant and was not sure for a moment: "But isn't Miss Miyano Akemi also a member of this organization? I feel pretty good after being in contact with her."
"That's because she is only a peripheral member, and theoretically has not even stepped into the threshold of this organization."
"But didn't the Uehara Police Department say it's okay?"
"..."
Even though Conan had all kinds of thoughts, he was also choked by Dr. Agasa's three words about Officer Uehara.
"I don't know either. When I asked him, he just said he was trustworthy. There was no evidence at all. It was purely based on intuition."
This is nonsense.
If Katsumi Uehara hadn't said this, he would have spat in his face.
Things like police intuition are indeed quite mysterious sometimes.
"How about you call Officer Uehara and ask?"
Conan said with a black line: "I asked, and he said not to disturb his relationship with Officer Sato because of such trivial matters."
"..."
……………………………………………………
"It's a small thing? Are you sure?"
In Uehara's large flat-floor apartment, Sato Miwako was chewing cookies and leaning on the sky gray fabric sofa. She twisted her body and looked at her boyfriend who came back after answering the phone. Her eyes were full of disbelief: "It's such a small thing. I’m calling you when it’s late?”
"Isn't it the matter between Miyano Shiho and Kudo Shinichi? They are suspicious and suspicious together."
Uehara Katsumi, who did not hide anything, put one hand on the sofa, turned over and fell in: "Thanks to my reputation, otherwise they would probably suspect that I am also a member of the winery."
He didn't expect that the previous case would have such an effect.
"Forget it, don't talk about this."
Glancing at the Taiga drama being replayed on TV, Uehara Katsumi rolled his eyes and asked tentatively: "You are watching it so late..."
"Oh yes, you reminded me, I should go home."
"...I think you should know that I have no intention of driving you away."
"I know, but I really should go."
Miwako Sato, who was half-smiling, reached out and took out a cookie from the box, stuffed it directly into her boyfriend's mouth, tilted her head and said, "This is the first day when we confirm our relationship, isn't it?"
"If possible, can I count this time from the first time I entered the Metropolitan Police Department and met you a year ago?" Uehara Katsumi chewed as the cookie rolled into his mouth with a roll of his tongue.
"see your performance."
Sato Miwako straightened her collar, stood up from the sofa, looked down at her boyfriend and said with a smile, "So, good night?"
Katsuki Uehara laughed dumbly, raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Good night."
"Why didn't you say see you tomorrow?"
"I only say goodnight to my girlfriends."
