Conan pushed up his glasses and looked at Beichuan sharply, as if he could see through his heart, and said confidently:
"In short, everything here has been adjusted by the real murderer!
The purpose is to make Higashida-san mistakenly think that this is his home, so that he can lock the door without any doubt, hang up the anti-theft chain, and sleep on the bed, waiting to be discovered the next day.
Am I right, Kitagawa-san?"
A flash of panic flashed across Beichuan's face, and then he said dissatisfiedly: "Where did you come from, kid? Your police actually let such a kid cause trouble at the scene of the crime. It's really ridiculous!"
"Indeed, who allowed you to participate in the investigation? Copy the criminal code from last time again and give it to me for inspection!"
Shizuo Komemon looked at Conan with a sneer, "You didn't contribute when I needed you to work earlier, now you can't be idle anymore?"
The suspect Beichuan was stunned for a moment. The police actually spoke for him?
Conan grimaced and realized immediately that he had gone too far and stole the limelight from the niece of the Gumeimen Police Department.
The Gumeimen Police Department just said that they were allowed to participate in the investigation in order to have something to talk about when they meet with the prosecutor general tomorrow.
It seems like...
Conan smiled.
"Idiot reasoning mad." Xiao Ai rolled her eyes.
Conan: "..."
"Takagi Criminal, search." Shizuo Komemon shouted to Takagi Wataru who was about to realize something.
Takagi Wataru's thoughts were interrupted, as if the program was stuck, and he turned his head blankly. Fortunately, body search was already a skilled skill, and he could do it even without using his brain.
"There is a suspicious wound on the right thumb." Xiao Mingmei reminded me kindly.
"Beichuan-san, please cooperate."
Takagi Wataru immediately grabbed Kitagawa's wrist and forcibly removed the band-aid on his thumb, revealing a dense collection of small puncture wounds.
"It seems like a stab wound?" Miwako Sato's eyes widened immediately, and she immediately figured it out, "It was a golden tiger cactus given by the wife of the tavern owner, and it was only given to Miss Muranishi Mami on the evening of the day of the incident!"
Beichuan's face was full of panic, and he couldn't accept it at all. He obviously did it so perfectly, why was it exposed all of a sudden?!
"There is clearly more evidence pointing to Higashikata as the murderer, so why do you think it was me who did it?"
Shizuo Komemon glanced at him sideways and mocked mercilessly: "It's all rubbish tactics with flaws. Three elementary school students can see through it. I don't know where you get the confidence to think that you won't be suspected."
"..."
Beichuan had nothing to say, it was the truth. His face was pale, his whole body was shaking, his knees softened, and he fell to the ground, which was regarded as a confession.
Seeing this, Sato Miwako happily said to Higashikata: "That's great, you can make it in time for your daughter's wedding."
"Thanks to the help of several police officers. I'm really grateful for the trouble." Higashida said his words of thanks incoherently.
"I'm serious, this is our job. After the handcuffs are released later, Higashida-san prepares to go to Chicago as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if you make up for it after the transcript is returned." Sato Miwako said in a very gentle and authentic tone.
…
Thirty minutes later, the Metropolitan Police Department.
After untying the handcuffs and clearing the suspicion, Higashida left with great gratitude. Shizuo Furumon looked at Miwako Sato who was relieved and said strangely:
"You seem to be particularly concerned about this case? And you seem to be very convinced that Higashida-san is innocent?"
"Ah?" Sato Miwako, who was distracted, was stunned for a moment, and then explained.
"When Higashida-san was being hunted, he took Ayumi as a hostage, but after escaping for a while, he immediately gave it up and even apologized to Ayumi, saying that he had his own reasons."
"Oh?" Shizuo Komemon raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "So, he not only escaped from the police car while Takagi was not paying attention, but even carried out a kidnapping? Then even if the person was not killed by him, he should be held accountable.
Let’s take responsibility for these two behaviors.”
Sato Miwako was at a loss for words. Logically speaking, this is the case. Of course, these behaviors have reasons, and they have not caused bad consequences. Most of the punishments will be relatively light, which is basically a fine plus a few days of detention.
but……
"But he won't be able to catch up with his daughter's wedding." Sato Miwako murmured.
Shizuo Komemon didn't hear her clearly, but when he saw her in a daze, he shouted, "Sato Criminal?"
"Ah? It's okay."
"Is it really okay?"
"Um……"
"If you have something to say, just say it. Although I won't explain it, I can at least be a listener."
Shizuo Fumimon threw a can of Coke to Miwako Sato, who caught it in a hurry.
"Before I went on vacation, you seemed to have been absent-minded. I remember that you were interrupted twice when you wanted to say something."
Sato Miwako didn't expect that he could remember it so clearly, so she hesitated and nodded.
"I do want to trouble you with something, but don't you have to take your two nieces to see the prosecutor general tomorrow? We can wait until you come back. We don't miss this time."
Shizuo Komemon looked at her quietly for a while, "Yes, I remember."
remember……
Sato Miwako's heart trembled unsatisfactorily.
A very ordinary tone, but it seemed like a very serious promise - I will remember it. If you don't tell me, I will ask you and help you.
Upon hearing this promise, Miwako Sato immediately felt relieved.
In the past, whether it was a dangerous or difficult case, it was always easy to solve it in the hands of the other party. This sense of security is really easy for people to get addicted to.
"Then I'll trouble the Gumeimen Police Department." Sato Miwako smiled, completely unaware that her heart was beating just now.
"I'm leaving first. Don't worry about Conan and the others. The Shiratori Police Department is working hard." Shizuo Komemon chuckled and set off without any delay.
Walking to the interrogation room, Shiratori Rensaburo was interrogating Takagi Wataru, and Komemon Shizuo could see full of anticipation and nervousness in his expression.
There is no doubt that he is waiting for Kobayashi Sumiko.
He was even afraid that one of the children's parents would not come, so that he and Kobayashi Sumiko could send the children home together and cultivate their relationship on the way.
After calling Xiao Ai and Akemi, Shizuo Komemon ignored Conan, whose legs were trembling and his face was filled with sadness, and went home directly.
…
"Why are Ai-chan and Ai-chan together with Shizu-kun?" Ayako asked a little strangely when she saw the elder and the younger ones coming back together.
"They were rehearsing a play and happened to run into a fleeing suspect, whom Sato Criminal and his gang were chasing." Shizuo Komemon briefly explained.
"Huh? Are you okay?" Ayako suddenly became worried, and quickly pulled Xiao Ai and Mingmei over to check them carefully.
After confirming that everything was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, hugged the two of them and gently warned: "You must pay more attention in the future, and be careful to protect yourself when you encounter danger."
"Well, I understand."
Xiao Ai nodded obediently. When facing Ayako, she always felt like she had really become a child.
