After seeing who was blocking his escape route, Luye Shuuji's gloomy face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Up to this moment, he still didn't understand that he had been fooled after all.
"No matter how cautious you are, as long as you have enough evidence to convict yourself, you will definitely try your best to destroy it after I show up."
Facing Kano Shuji's face that was full of murderous intent like a tengu coming to the world, Uehara Katsumi, who showed no fear at all, tilted his head contentedly and raised the corners of his mouth in pleasure: "It's just that in my expectation, you might live a happy life.
Start taking action in three to five days.
"I didn't expect you to be so restless. Is it because you have been on the run for so long, and now that the prosecution period is about to pass but you may be caught, you feel anxious?"
"...Are you spying on me? You are spying on me without any permission?"
As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, Kano Shuji increased his tone, and then turned to look at the daughter of his old friend who was approaching him step by step: "Miwako, your boyfriend has broken the law, do you know?
"If I wanted to accuse him, he wouldn't be able to get away with it."
"I think you may have misunderstood something, uncle."
Sato Miwako hadn't spoken yet, but Conan, who formed a triangle with Uehara and Sato on the other side, spoke confidently: "The Uehara Police Department and Sato Criminal Police Department came here specially after receiving my call to the police. It's not true at all.
Any surveillance activities.
"And the reason why I called the police was because I saw you sneaking around on your way home and you didn't look like a good person, so I followed you all the way. Then, I saw you trying to burn the money."
"What a joke! You are just a little kid! How could you possibly do this!"
The jealous Kano Shuji roared in a low voice, pointing a finger at Katsuki Uehara, who was standing in a careless manner: "He ordered all of this! He is spying on me in violation of the law! Now he still wants to slander me!"
"This kid is the right-hand man of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro. Together with Detective Mouri, he has helped the police solve many cases. He is a veritable little detective. It is not surprising that he can detect your abnormalities and do this. Regarding his intelligence,
The entire three departments know it."
Miwako Sato, with a cold face, stood not far away from Shikano Shuji, slowly lifted the corner of his suit, pulled out the police revolver, held it in his hand, raised the muzzle of the gun and pointed it, his face suddenly turned pale.
Lu Ye Shuji: "Uncle Lu Ye, I never thought that you would be the murderer of my father. Why?"
Facing the dark muzzle of the gun, the expression on Luye Shuji's face changed uncertainly. He glanced at the money bag that he had not had time to burn and the small barrel of gasoline standing beside him. He was silent and didn't know what to say.
.
"Speak, Kano Shuji! Why?! Why did you kill my father! Aren't you two besties who have been playing together since high school?!"
The person who killed her father turned out to be her long-respected uncle. Miwako Sato, who couldn't accept the shock for a while, seemed to lose control of her emotions. The muzzle of her gun was trembling, and stern questions floated around the empty space.
Conan, who was stepping on the rocks, lowered his head slightly. After turning off the tracking function, a silvery white light appeared on his lenses, and he didn't say a word.
Uehara Katsumi, who was leaning against the ruined wall, didn't know what he was thinking of. He put his hands in his pockets and remained silent.
"...Yes, Zhengyi and I have been best friends since high school. Even on the day he caught me, we were still best friends."
After being caught and having all escape routes blocked, Kano Shuji, whose expression changed for a long time, finally spoke: "But the bad thing is that we are besties. I was fully armed when I robbed the bank, and I disguised myself very well, but
He still judged my identity through a habitual movement of my golf swing and arrested me.
“At that time, I was so desperate that I just wanted to die, so when I saw a truck passing by at an intersection, I subconsciously wanted to go over and be hit and killed.
"But, justice, your father, he pushed me away and pulled me back from the brink of death, but he himself fell in a pool of blood.
"After that, I didn't dare to take any action because of fear. I didn't worry anymore until I was sure that the police didn't find me..."
Seeing the opportunity, Kano Shuji was about to get the gasoline barrel, but unexpectedly a stone knocked the oil barrel away——
Conan, who had taken a shooting pose, slowly raised his head, and the gaze under the lens pierced into the eyes of the disbelieving Shikano Shuuji: "[Shousilang], Shousilang, no wonder. If you are best friends, then this sentence is extremely
It may be that the pronunciation is similar to "surrender", which is the trust that Officer Masayoshi Sato placed in you before he died.
"Shikano Shuuji, you have been on the run for eighteen years. You are unworthy of being the father of Officer Sato."
"..."
Seeing the gasoline barrel rolling to Katsuki Uehara's feet, Shikano Shuji, who understood that his last hope of escape had been shattered, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then slowly opened his eyes, his face returned to calm, and he turned to look at the old man.
Friend's daughter: "I'm sorry, Miwako.
"I know this sentence is eighteen years late, but... I'm sorry."
With clenched teeth, Sato Miwako also took several deep breaths before putting down the gun and taking out her father's relics—a pair of rusty handcuffs—from her arms.
She had carried her father's belongings close to her body for eighteen years, and at this moment she finally completed the conclusion of the crime eighteen years ago.
Uehara Katsumi walked to his girlfriend's side. At this moment, Sato Miwako, who had arrested the murderer, was sitting on a large stone, quietly lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
Conan on the side saw that neither of them seemed to have any intention of calling the police. After sighing, he called Officer Megure again.
"Thank you, Katsumi."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do as a police officer."
Katsuki Uehara, who was sitting on a stone with his arms around his girlfriend's shoulders, looked at the sunset that dyed the skyline red and said with a carefree smile.
"I don't understand why the truth of the matter is like this...Obviously Uncle Luye and my dad used to be such good friends, but in the end it was him who personally caused my dad's death."
Leaning her head on her boyfriend's shoulder, Sato Miwako looked a little sad as she muttered to herself.
"People change, and best friends are just best friends after all. For interests or their own purposes, even the best of friends may turn against each other and even risk their lives."
As an outsider, Katsumi Uehara could only feel relieved at the moment. He and his girlfriend sat on the stone, and the background was gradually dyed red by the sunset.
They looked at each other in silence until the police officers led by Officer Megu drove over.
"Uehara! Sato! Conan!"
"The prisoner is here, the police department."
The moment she heard her boss's voice, Sato Miwako, who had been leaning on her boyfriend's shoulder for a long time, immediately stood up, collected her emotions, and pointed out the handcuffed Kano Shuji and the evidence one by one to him.
This unsolved case, which has lasted for eighteen years, has been declared solved.
Before Kano Shuuji was escorted into the car by Megure Jusan, the former looked back at Katsumi Uehara and Miwako Sato who were standing outside the police car encirclement.
"Thanks to your blessing, I can comfort my father's spirit in heaven."
Miwako Sato, who watched the police car hurried away, regained her mood, turned to look at her boyfriend who was close at hand: "So, what is your wish?"
"Wish? What wish?"
"As we said before when we were making cookies, don't worry, I will always keep my word. No matter what wish you make, I will fulfill it."
Miwako blinked and stood motionless. The setting sun hit the side of her face with the evening breeze, and the wind ruffled the ends of her hair.
"Well, to be honest, my wish has been fulfilled."
Katsuki Uehara smiled, put one hand in his pocket, and walked towards his magenta EVO: "And I don't have the habit of taking advantage of others."
"..."
She watched her boyfriend leave her step by step and walk towards the car parked outside the ruins.
Miwako Sato was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she ran after her with her arms swung -
