Koshimi Nanatsuki grabbed his coat and put it on his body, followed Chi Feichi's departure, and hummed in dissatisfaction, "Don't respond so perfunctorily. I'm serious. You should have known by looking at my performance. Before That time when I went to sing karaoke with Officer Yumi, I was much better than them..."
"Didn't you end up with a red face after drinking?"
"I didn't!"
"That's probably because I remembered it wrong."
"Ahem, it's normal to blush after drinking. It doesn't mean I drank too much... Let's not talk about that. Are we really not going to see what kind of murder happened to Xiao Ai and the others?"
"do you want to go?"
"Let's go take a look. Although Conan is very smart and the police have probably rushed to the scene, if the criminal hasn't been caught yet, or if the criminal becomes desperate and attacks the children, I'm worried that they will be in danger..."
…
Late, half past eight.
Yoneka Town 4-chome.
A warning tape was put up at the entrance of the alley facing the street, and a crowd of onlookers gathered around the outside, whispering to each other.
Chi Feichi parked the car nearby, walked over with Koshizu Nanatsuki, and took out his mobile phone to call Haibara Ai.
When the two of them walked to the cordon, a male policeman guarding the cordon said in surprise, "Mr. Chi?"
Chi Feichi looked at it and recognized the policeman. He pressed the call he just dialed on his phone and said, "Officer Sakurada."
This was Sakurada Yu, a police officer from the Miwa Police Station whom he had met before in an incident. In that case, Sakurada Xiong suspected that comedian Hiromatsu Hiroshi was the murderer, and said that Hiromatsu Hiroshi had a strange name, but he still remembered it.
Sakurada Xiong also had a deep memory of Chi Feichi, but it was just because he had seen Chi Feichi's reasoning ability. When he saw Chi Feichi's response, his eyes lit up a lot, "Are you here to find those children? Or did you hear that An incident happened here, are you ready to help?"
When Chi Feichi saw an acquaintance, he immediately pulled the warning tape and crossed over with Koshimi Nanatsuki. Then he put down the warning tape in his hand and said, "I'm here to see how the children are doing."
On the side, the two policemen standing in front of the cordon looked sideways at Chi Feichi. Seeing that Sakurada Xiong didn't say anything, they stopped paying attention and looked ahead with eyes, nose, nose and heart.
"If necessary, I can also help." Koshizui Nanatsuki added, looking at Sakurada Yu curiously.
"After I saw Conan, I was wondering if Mr. Chi would come over." Sakurada Xiong consciously led the way to the alley, and took the initiative to tell what he learned. "The person who reported the incident this time was Conan." , I rushed here as soon as I received the call. According to Conan and his group of children, the person who discovered the body was their elementary school teacher, Teacher Xiaolin. No, Teacher Xiaolin should be considered a witness..."
"Buzz...buzz..."
Haibara Ai called Chi Feichi back. Hearing Sakurada Xiong's voice, he looked up and saw Chi Feichi and Koshizui Nanatsuki entering the alley, and hung up the phone decisively.
Her brother and Nanatsuki sister actually came over, and there seemed to be police officers they knew...
Well, this police officer knew Edogawa, and he had previously asked Brother Fei Chi about which case he, Brother Fei Chi, and Edogawa Baucheng had met.
"Witnesses?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki repeated.
"Yes, Teacher Xiaolin and we originally planned to watch the fireworks nearby, but she accidentally got separated from us. When she was preparing to make a phone call at the entrance of the alley, she heard the sound of an argument in the alley, and she even said 'kill' You' or something like that, and then saw someone running hurriedly at the entrance of the alley on the other side." Haihara Ai walked forward and looked back into the depths of the alley. "She was worried that someone was injured, so she went into the alley to check the situation. As soon as she got there, Seeing a person lying on the ground, because the light was very dark, when she reached out to check the person's condition, she found that her hands were full of blood, and she screamed in fright. When Edogawa heard her cry and came over , it seemed that the murderer was still watching them at the entrance of the alley, and then ran away, but unfortunately, because of the dark light, they did not see the face of the escaped man clearly. "
Koshimizu Nanatsuki frowned slightly, "In other words, Conan and the teacher may have been seen, right? What about the others?"
"I was the one who arrived next. When I arrived, I didn't see any suspicious figures. Then came Tsuburaya, Yoshida, and Kojima. They didn't bump into anyone, but that's not surprising. We all He came in through the alley entrance on this side, and the murderer seemed to leave through the alley entrance on the other side," Haibara Ai's narrative was clear and coherent, "After that, Edogawa called the police, and we stayed there with Teacher Kobayashi."
"Because it involved a violent crime and someone died, I notified the Metropolitan Police Department." Sakurada Yu said, looking up at Shiratori Rensaburo who accompanied Kobayashi Sumiko, "The police officer and his colleagues came very quickly. The scene will be left to them.”
"Brother Chi!"
"Nanatsuki-sister!"
As soon as the three children saw Chi Feichi and Yuesui Nanatsuki, they immediately ran forward.
"Where's Fei Chi? Fei Chi is here too!"
Kobayashi Chengzi seemed to have recovered from the fright. She was wearing Shiratori Rensaburo's coat and greeted Chi Feichi with a smile, "Mr. Chi."
"Teacher Xiaolin." Chi Feichi responded politely.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked down at the black men's jacket he was wearing, and raised his eyes to meet Haibara Ai's meaningful gaze. He avoided Haibara Ai's gaze in embarrassment and looked at Kobayashi Sumiko, who looked very similar to Sato Miwako.
Haibara Ai didn't look at Koshizu Nanatsuki anymore, "Actually, you don't have to come here specially. Teacher Xiaolin heard the suspect's voice and saw the suspect's figure. The police should be able to arrest the person soon. "
"The victim seemed to have been stabbed and bled a lot. No murder weapon has been found near the scene yet. The victim had a driver's license with her. Our police should be able to investigate her situation soon. The only trouble is that the suspect is likely to I have seen the faces of Teacher Kobayashi and Conan," Shiratori Rensaburo said, turning to smile at Kobayashi Sumiko, "But don't worry, I will protect you even if I risk my life."
Xiaolin Chengzi's cheeks turned red and she lowered her head, "Thank you, thank you."
Conan: "..."
So sour.
Chi Feichi: "..."
The air smells like dog food.
Haibara Ai:"……"
It's so sour...but her brother can learn from it.
Shiratori Rensaburo noticed the silent gaze of a group of people, and felt a little embarrassed, and quickly stabilized the smile on his face, "Anyway, if our police investigate anything, we will ask Teacher Xiaolin and the children to go to the Metropolitan Police Department Cooperate with the investigation. If Mr. Chi and Detective Yueshui are interested in learning about this case, they can come with you at that time."
"We have nothing to do with the case, doesn't it fit in with the past?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki hesitated.
"Mr. Chi has helped me a lot, so..." Shiratori Rensanlang thought for a while and felt that it was indeed inappropriate. He took two steps forward to close the distance between him and Chi Feichi, and whispered, "If you are asked Now, let’s just send the children there and want to know more about the case.”
Koshimi Nanatsuki understood, this is "opening the back door legally and compliantly".
…
It was not too late for Shiratori Rensaburo to say 'cooperate with the investigation'.
Early the next morning, the police investigated the victim's general situation and identified three suspects. Xiaolin Chengzi and the children were asked to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to see if they could provide some more clues or help identify the suspects. people.
Koshizui Nanatsuki was interested in this case, but was worried that he would be unable to catch the prisoner and that Conan would be stabbed to death by the prisoner on his way home. After receiving a call from Chi Feichi, he volunteered to follow him to see if he could Can't help.
Although in Chi Feichi's view, Koshizui Nanatsuki has not had any commissions recently and can only stay in the office to bask in the sun, which may be one of the reasons...
Kobayashi Sumiko went to the Metropolitan Police Department for the first time. She saw Chi Feichi, Koshizui Nanatsuki, and five children skillfully registering visitor information and helping her receive the visitor badge. She could only stare blankly as she entered the Metropolitan Police Department. Inside, I couldn't help but tense up nervously as I watched the police officers coming and going in the corridor.
The five children chirped and comforted them all the way.
When Gentai heard that Kobayashi Sumiko had come here for the first time, she smiled and said, "I come here often. I've eaten all the dishes on the menu in the cafeteria here!"
"I only ate it once..." Koshizui Nanatsuki recalled, turned to Kobayashi Sumiko and smiled, "Although this is a bit strange, the police officers at the Metropolitan Police Department are very easy to get along with, and the food in the cafeteria tastes good too. .”
Chi Feichi thought about the bento he had eaten at the Metropolitan Police Department, "The bento was not very good."
"Yeah, really..." Xiaolin Chengzi had beady eyes.
So, except for her, everyone else in their group was disappointed when they came to the Metropolitan Police Department?
"You look very similar to Officer Sato, the beautiful policewoman from the Investigation Division," Koshimizu Nanatsuki chatted with Kobayashi Sumiko with a smile, "but your personalities are completely different."
"What's the difference in personality? Good morning, Detective Koshizui!" Miyamoto Yumi smiled and caught up from behind. She put one hand on Koshimi Nanatsuki's shoulder and patted Kobayashi Sumiko's arm with the other hand. "Good morning, Miwako! What other case have you encountered? After the case is solved, do you want to get together again? I'll have a rest the day after tomorrow!"
Xiaolin Chengzi was a little confused, "Huh?"
"Ah what? What's going on with you? You're wearing glasses, are you planning to change your style?" Yumi Miyamoto smiled and directly slapped Kobayashi Sumiko's butt, "This doesn't look like you at all. !”
Kobayashi Chengzi blushed and jumped away, "W-what are you doing?"
"Yumi," Koshimizu Nanatsuki came to his senses and said hurriedly, "She is not Officer Sato..."
"Officer Sato! Are the children already here?" Chiba Kazushi ran forward and looked around in confusion, "Didn't you say there is another elementary school teacher?"
Chi Feichi couldn't bear to see how stupid these people were. He looked at Xiao Lin Cheng Zi and said, "She is Xiao Lin Cheng Zi, the teacher from Class B of Di Dan Primary School."
"Yeah, don't make a mistake," Shiratori Rensaburo came from behind. After reminding him, he reached out to support Kobayashi Chengzi's shoulders and led them to the lounge. He turned around to greet Chi Feichi and Koshizui Nanatsuki. , "Morning, you two, take the children to the lounge, and we will sit down and talk in detail."
Kobayashi Sumiko was confused and turned to ask Shiratori Rensaburo, "Does that Officer Sato look similar to me?"
"I don't think they are alike at all..." Shiratori Rensaburo noticed the disdainful looks from the five children and Koshimi Nanatsuki, and said awkwardly, "Even if they are a bit similar."
