"Hmm? Is this what a so-called detective looks like? He verbally bullies two weak elementary school students. If this incident gets out, I'm afraid your good momentum, Officer Uehara, will come to an end. .”
The girl, who was not frightened at all, raised her hand and brushed her short brown hair, and looked at her with playful eyes. Her words and deeds were completely different from those of the younger Conan.
"You can try how terrifying the power behind me is, Huihara Ai."
Uehara Katsumi did not have any intention of getting angry, but instead mentioned another matter playfully: "Did you know? As long as I give the order, your sister will lose her stable job again. She can't pay the rent and can't afford to eat. .
"Well, smart Miss Haibara Ai, I think you don't want your sister to be homeless and become a homeless girl on the streets, right?"
Hui Yuan Ai, who had just returned his sharp words, instantly lost his voice, the joking between his brows also disappeared, and his expression returned to indifference.
Upon seeing this, Uehara Katsumi was very satisfied: "That's right. Children should behave like children."
Conan, who witnessed Haibara Ai also deflating in front of this man, felt inexplicably refreshed - as if you had been unlucky all along, but finally found someone who was as unlucky as you, and you immediately felt relieved. few.
In particular, this person is Shiho Miyano, the person who led the team to develop APTX-4869.
In a sense, this can also be regarded as another sense of not worrying about the minority but not the equality.
"Huh? Wait a minute, why are you here?" Conan, who was satisfied with Haihara Ai's deflated appearance, suddenly came back to his senses and frowned at this girl who was about the same size as himself.
"My sister insists on letting me go to school, but I can't get her to do it."
Miyano Akemi is not dead, and Haihara Ai is not very autistic. At the moment, except that I still have a fear of the organization, everything else is normal. Just the thought of having a doctorate degree and having to go back to an elementary school class to be a babbling pupil made Haihara Ai very unhappy.
"There are so many schools in Mihua, why are you here?"
"Because you're the guinea pig here."
Facing Conan's vigilance, Haiyuan Ai, who was pacing with his hands behind his back, stood in front of him, looked directly into the boy's eyes, and did not shy away from his opinion of him: "I want to research an antidote. I have to observe your performance, so I will still be in the same class with you."
"Why don't you study yourself?"
“A healer does not heal himself.”
Katsuki Uehara on the side watched the two men standing face to face, one glaring angrily, the other indifferent. I swallowed back the words I wanted to say about the scene. I took out my phone and quickly took a picture——
With a "click", the sound of the shutter and the illumination of the flash instantly caused Conan and Haibara Ai to turn their heads, and both pairs of eyes cast an unkind look at him at the same time.
"The weather is nice today. Let's take some pictures of the beautiful scenery of the school and miss the beauty of elementary school." Uehara Katsumi, who was not afraid, put his mobile phone in his pocket and opened his hands to embrace the nature next to the playground with pretentious emotion.
"..."
"..."
Haibara Ai, who frowned, felt that he could not understand this man named Uehara Katsumi more and more.
What kind of brain circuit is this?
Secretly filming two elementary school students?
Based on the limited contact she had so far, she really couldn't connect the careless man in front of her with the upright and responsible man in the Metropolitan Police Department who her sister said was the only superman.
These are two completely different styles of painting.
"Uehara, I wrote your closing report, but you have to transfer her to another school." Without knowing the details of the other party, Conan chose to seek foreign aid.
He didn't want to be in the same school or class with the witch who developed the drug.
Haibara Ai's expression remained indifferent: "Don't think that you are the only one who can write, I can do it too. Moreover, compared to you who are only a 17-year-old high school student, as a doctor, I am far superior in terms of writing skills, learning speed, and knowledge reserve. More than you.”
Haibara Ai, who showed off his doctorate degree in an understatement, completed an explosive kill on Conan, whose highest degree was only a sophomore in high school.
Uehara Katsumi on the side looked at him in amazement. He didn't mean to interrupt at all. Instead, he turned his attention to Conan. The rogue look he was looking forward to seemed to tell him clearly, "What other conditions do you have to increase the stakes?"
Conan: "..."
Seeing that he couldn't extract any more money from Conan, Katsuki Uehara looked disappointed and said without any secret: "That's it?"
If he couldn't beat him, Conan would jump up and punch him.
"That's it. Don't forget to report the closure of the Nagato family's case to me within three days." Seeing Conan's face turn from sunny to gloomy, Uehara, who thought he was the only conscience in the Metropolitan Police Department, accepted it and decided. a delivery time.
Conan wanted to bargain: "It's too fast, I'm very busy, and there are a lot of homework and activities."
"Conan-kun, you don't want Ms. Mao Lilan to know that you are Kudo Shinichi, right?" Uehara Katsumi responded with a polite smile: "Think about the bath you took together and the telephone pole that Xiaolan broke. .”
"..."
The same threatening words were used to threaten two different people, and they both succeeded.
Uehara Katsumi's inner evil taste was satisfied to the greatest extent, and finally he hummed a little tune proudly and walked away. He looked very arrogant with his swaying steps, just shy of taking a crab step.
The roaring engine of the car shocked the dozing uncle in the security booth. He thought it was a racing gang invading Didan Elementary School, but when he took a closer look, he saw a pink EVO roaring like a beast.
Katsuki Uehara, who rolled down the window, controlled the steering wheel with one hand and rested his elbow on the edge of the window with his left hand, enjoying the coolness of the wind blowing past his forehead. The frivolity at the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared as if blown away by the wind.
Traffic lights at the intersection, traffic passing by. A blue EVO slowly circled Uehara, and the rearview mirrors of the two cars reflected each other's faces.
Pramya in the passenger seat turned around and glanced, then flirted with the short-haired woman in the driver's seat: "Hey, Monáe Minamihara, that was Katsumi Uehara, right? What's such a coincidence?"
"It's not a coincidence, it's because he has always been used to taking this road home. It has never changed for so long." Although her expression was indifferent, Nahara Monáe couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror from the corner of her eye. The look that belongs to that man.
Pramya clicked her tongue and shook her head, not knowing whether it was intentional or not: "I really envy his girlfriend, how happy we are. Unfortunately, I'm about to get engaged, and my fiancé is also a policeman, but I don't like him."
"If you want to talk about your fiancé, I can send you there right now."
"That's not necessary. Compared to him, I am still more interested in what you call the Oriental Gunpowder Store." Pramya withdrew her teasing gaze and looked straight ahead, tapping the window edge unconsciously with her right index finger.
"I'm curious how you are going to get to that kind of place."
At the same time, the Kudo Shin family.
A letter sealed with lacquer was delivered into the mailbox of the Shin Kudo family - under the sunlight, the words Moritani Teiji were faintly visible.
