When Megure led a team of policemen to his new home, he happened to meet Edogawa Conan face to face.
So Mumu sighed and said: "Now it's complete."
You know how much pressure he feels when none of these people show up in a case?!
Conan: "?"
Takata Nii's assignment to the Young Detective Team was to investigate the whereabouts of his parents. A month ago, his mother went on a business trip and never came back. And his father has not been home since three days ago, and he was only fostered by his uncle.
at home.
Megure opened his mouth and looked at Takagi Sato behind him, but none of the three of them spoke.
"So why do these uncles have the keys to my house?" Takata Nii looked at Megure and others with some vigilance. Since the criminal police officers were not wearing obvious police uniforms, the other police officers all avoided everyone's sight before entering the house.
, so Takata Nii does not know that they are police.
"These uncles are..." Ayumi was about to introduce him to Memu and others.
"We are your mother's friends." Sato quickly picked up the conversation and squatted down to look at Takata Nii, "Because your father lost contact with your mother three days ago, so please ask us friends to come home and see you.
."
"It's been three days and you've just come?" Takata Nii is only a seven-year-old child after all, so he immediately believed Sato's improvised lie. However, he felt a little sad that it took him so long to remember his mother.<
/p>
"I'm sorry, Takata." Sato touched Takata Nii's hair with a gentle expression, "Mie really couldn't spare the time, and couldn't contact your father, so it took a lot of effort to turn the key to
In our hands."
Nii Takata said oh, then blinked and said: "Then when will my mother come back? Where did my father go?"
"..."
Sato and Takata kept each other in check by asking and answering questions. Taking advantage of this moment, Conan pulled Megure and Takagi aside and asked about the real reason.
When she learned that Takata Nii's father Yasuo Nii fell down from upstairs and died today, and that Nii's mother was also seriously ill, Ayumi, who had always been sentimental, had red eyes.
"Then...can't I hide it from Mr. Guitai for how long?"
Indeed, any new wife will know sooner or later.
"I'll give you a mission." Megure whispered, looking at the two people talking to the side from time to time. "You think of a way to get Guita to reveal his uncle's contact information. I'll ask Takagi to lead the team there."
"Okay." Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi all arrived together.
Conan didn't respond. He was thinking about the case of Ai Yasuo's falling from a building. Because Mu Mu concealed some details, he only knew that there was a suicide note left upstairs but he didn't know that there were blood words downstairs.
Haibara Ai didn't respond, or in other words, she didn't come to Megure at all, but stood a little to the right behind Takata Nii, watching how Takata induced Sato to tell the truth step by step.<
/p>
Yes, that's right, Takata Nii must have noticed something was wrong and was talking to Miwako Sato.
Haibara Ai has her own way of judging the sincerity of others. When the problem does not involve the people she cares about, she can completely maintain an objective and rational perspective to view any problem.
For example, she saw now that Sato was so moved by Takata Nii's pitiful and helpless expression that he almost answered Takata Nii's sudden and whispered question about where his mother was now.
"Arii-san." Regardless of whether Sato could restrain himself from answering subconsciously, Haihara Ai interrupted the spell cast first, "Didn't you say you would take us to your father's room to see?"
This is what Takata Nii said before the police arrived.
Haibara Ai's interruption brought Sato back to his senses, and he quickly smiled kindly: "Then can I go and see it too?"
"After all, we are here because of your mother's request, and we also want to investigate your father's whereabouts."
Nii Takata thought about it, but still had some doubts and asked Sato to call her mother now to confirm.
Sato asked Megure's opinion with his eyes, and when he saw Megure nodding, he agreed. He called the hospital's public phone and asked them to transfer it to Mie Nii.
"Well, yes, it's Mrs. Niiju... what did you say?"
Sato's face suddenly changed. She quickly glanced at Takata Nii, who was looking at her eagerly, stood two steps to the side, covered her mouth and conversational area with her hands, and whispered:
"Keep all surveillance on, we'll be there right away."
Mie Nii disappeared from the hospital, and the unconscious nurse who changed her dressing at night was found in the closet of the room. The nurse's uniform was no longer on her. Mie Nii must have changed her clothes and escaped.
After putting down the phone, Sato quickly walked up to Megure and told him about it. Megure looked solemn and gently patted Conan, the most stable among them, on the shoulder, telling him not to forget what he had just explained.
"Takagi, you are staying too." Megure pressed his hat and motioned for Sato to follow. Before leaving, he did not forget to say hello to Takata Nii.
"Where's my mother?" Nii Takata didn't want Sato to leave, so he grabbed her sleeve and still looked pitiful.
"Guitai, be good, we are going to investigate this matter." Sato knelt down and pulled the sleeves out of the child's hands, "Guitai, please stay with the other children first, okay?"
"If it's too late, how about asking the uncle next to you to take you back? You can ask your friends, we are all people you can trust."
Takata Nii looked back at Conan, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi. Mitsuhiko nodded desperately, and Ayumi also showed a sweet smile and said: "They are all good people, just like us."
Only then did Nii Takata agree to let Sato leave. After seeing the two of them close the door, he turned around and did not look at Takagi who stayed here, but at Haibara Ai who had just interrupted him to continue asking.
"They are the police."
Even Conan looked at Takata Nii in surprise, not to mention the other children and Takagi who felt a little stupid.
"How does Guitai know..." Mitsuhiko wanted to ask.
"So something happened to my parents." Takata Nii's eyes filled with tears and she tried not to cry. "What happened to them?"
Haibara sighed and turned to look at Edogawa Conan. Nii Takata's eyes followed and looked at Conan, with a look that made Conan unable to bear to reject him or lie to him.
"You will know sooner or later." Haiyuan Ai said calmly. There is no use hiding it for a while. It is better to tell him now and let him know so that he can better continue the investigation.
Conan was silent for a moment and then said: "I just saw the police department - the fat police officer in brown clothes. He told us -"
"Conan-kun." Takagi said softly.
Edogawa Conan ignored him and continued: "Your father, Mr. Yasuo Nii, just committed suicide by jumping off a building in Cupido Town."
"So, in order to find out the truth about his suicide, or to find out whether he committed suicide or was deliberately murdered by someone else, we need your full cooperation..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cry that echoed from the ceiling.
Takata Arai, who had been so stubborn just now, sat on the ground and cried loudly.
