Fish weighing more than 130 kilograms?
As a battle-hardened detective, Miwako Sato immediately realized what this meant after hearing this description. He swallowed subconsciously, and the moment he hesitated to speak, his heart suddenly accelerated its beating speed.
Theoretically speaking, although Uehara Katsumi was temporarily brought back to work, he currently has no cases that he needs to be responsible for - except for the Chou Silang case that he took the initiative to take over.
"who is it?"
"It's not completely confirmed yet, and I don't have any evidence. However, I think it's coming soon."
"...Well, I understand. See you at the NEO store after get off work."
"ok, no problem."
After hanging up the phone and looking at the screen that suddenly lit up, Katsuki Uehara bared his teeth and took a deep breath. He took out the Bluetooth headset modified by Dr. Agasa and put it in his ears: "Conan, how are you doing?"
"As you can imagine, this man is very cautious and has extensive counter-reconnaissance experience."
In the Bluetooth headset, the voice of Conan, who was sent out to track Shikano Shuuji, came from it: "If my appearance hadn't been so deceptive, I might have been able to hide it from him."
"Where's the transmitter?"
"It's stuck to the bottom of his shoe."
"Thanks."
After buckling his seat belt, Katsuki Uehara started the Beetle he borrowed from Dr. Agasa, put the tracking glasses that fit his size on the bridge of his nose, and pressed the tracking button——
A red dot is flashing on the map.
"I don't think I need to teach you about sliding the door and picking the lock. You should have learned it in Hawaii. Remember to install bugs and cameras. He won't be able to endure it for long."
"...Uehara Katsumi, are you sure you really want to do this? If nothing else, you are a police officer."
Conan on the other end of the phone was obviously hesitant and tried to dissuade him: "Since you have identified the suspect, why not investigate slowly?"
"It's too late. After so many years, I'm afraid only he can produce the evidence that can convict Luye Shuji. I was so scared today. Whether he wants to or not, he has to find a chance to prove his guilt. The evidence was destroyed.”
Katsumi Uehara, who was driving the car, recalled the few plot memories in his mind, and slowly said: "My appearance is too eye-catching, and I don't have the amazing disguise skills like Cheng Shi. It's easy to spy on him." I can only rely on you to find out.”
"Fine."
After the call ended and two beeps rang in his ears, Katsuki Uehara, who looked forward, controlled the steering wheel with one hand, took off the Bluetooth headset with the other and put it in his pocket.
The cute beetle drove all the way through the streets of Yoneka Town until it finally stopped at the door of Dr. Agasa's house——
"Doctor, I'm here to return the car - Doctor A Li?"
Katsumi Uehara, who opened the door and walked into the living room, did not see Dr. Agasa. Instead, he saw the figure of a loli sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and reading a fashion magazine.
"The doctor went out to buy groceries and hasn't brought your car back yet."
Haihara Ai, who folded half of the magazine, raised her eyes and glanced at the man. After thinking about it, she got up and poured him a glass of water: "Where is Edogawa? Didn't he go out with you?"
"He was fulfilling his duties as a member of the Junior Detective Corps - assisting the police in investigating the case."
Uehara Katsumi, who casually threw the car keys on the coffee table, took the water glass with a smile and thanked him: "It just so happens that he also likes Sherlock Holmes, doesn't he?"
"To correct you, the Junior Detective Corps is not responsible to the police."
After passing the water, Haihara Ai returned to her seat, picked up the magazine again, glanced at him, and then her eyes fell on the product introduction in the magazine.
Katsuki Uehara, who lowered his head and took a sip of water, was obviously noncommittal about this statement: "Haven't you ever heard of adapting measures to local conditions?"
"...Why do you trust me?"
Staring at the man in front of him, Hui Yuan Ai still couldn't hold back the questions in his heart. He recalled the dream life he and his sister had had these past few days, hesitated for a moment and then asked.
According to common sense, as the developer of Drug A, even if she has joined the Japanese police, her treatment will most likely not be as free as it is now, not to mention that Katsumi Uehara asked his friend in the hospital to forge the name "Miyano Shiho" The death of identity.
Maybe they will develop trust in each other over time in the future, but for now, being as wary of her as Edogawa Conan is is the right way to open up.
But she had never felt this emotion from Uehara Katsumi.
Hui Yuan Ai doesn't understand.
Her days in the organization made her develop a sensitive personality, and she even felt that Katsumi Uehara most likely had ulterior motives for doing this. But looking at it these days, if she hadn't looked for Dr. Agasa and Conan sometimes, she wouldn't even be able to see Katsumi Uehara.
"I said you have been in the winery for a long time, are you all neurotic? Are you always paranoid about being persecuted?"
Sitting comfortably on the sofa, Katsuki Uehara put his right hand into his arms, took out his ID from his suit pocket, opened it, threw it on the coffee table, and pouted at it: "Do you want a reason? Well, it is."
On the police officer's ID card, the serious-looking Katsumi Uehara looked extremely serious, completely different from his current state.
"..."
"The world is a dangerous place, but there are always people who are willing to do stupid things. I may not be that person, but those guys I have are."
Katsuki Uehara, who took back his police officer certificate, chuckled: "Of course, so does Edogawa Conan."
"Is that why he is willing to help you write the closing report?"
"Don't slander me. I wrote the closing report myself."
“…The water in the organization is deep.”
"I know."
Uehara Katsuki, who noticed that Dr. Agasa had appeared at the door, turned and waved to him, and said without caring, "You can tell me about the winery when you want to, I'm not in a hurry."
Huihara Ai must know some secrets of the organization, there is no doubt about this.
Moreover, if I remember correctly, Haihara Ai seems to have an audio tape that her mother left for her. God knows what was said in it.
——Uh, no, it seems like she didn’t carry that tape with her?
Katsuki Uehara, who couldn't remember clearly, moved his lips and didn't bother to think about it anymore after taking the keys to his car from Dr. Agasa.
Haiyuan Ai, with twinkling eyes, just stared at his back as he stood up and left. She subconsciously clenched the corners of the magazine, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Dr. Ali, I'm afraid I have to borrow the tracking glasses and Bluetooth headset for a while."
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you give this to Officer Uehara."
Dr. Ali, who was unaware of Haibara Ai's inner struggles, had a lively chat with Katsuki Uehara. He happily patted his belly and showed him his technological inventory, and by the way introduced his new invention to him——
"Uehara Police Department, according to your request, I tried to modify this thing..."
ps: The labor arbitration has finally come to an end, and I almost lost my salary and bonus before leaving my job when I changed jobs.
Life is not easy, Maomao sighed.
