Chapter 227 Sure enough, Attorney Uozuka is a person with a strong sense of justice!
Because of the addition of Ehara and Vodka, the progress of the case was directly pushed back to the reasoning stage. However, Conan and Goto Midori on the rooftop knew nothing about these conversations downstairs.
After hearing Officer Megure's introduction to the case, Goto Midori pretended to be sad and then ran to the rooftop of the apartment, lifted the barbed wire fence on the rooftop and looked down.
After she killed the person, she stuffed the clothes hanger that was the murder weapon into the garbage bags on both sides of the street. Goto Midori knew that today was the day for unified garbage collection, and staff would then send the garbage bags on both sides of the street to the garbage treatment plant.
.
By then the murder weapon will have disappeared without a trace.
Goto Midori's plan was quite good, and it did develop according to her plan at the beginning, but the appearance of the Young Detective Team caused flaws in her plan.
Before the weapons could be collected by the garbage truck, Mitsui Miyuki's body was discovered and the police were called. This was nothing, but what was even more terrible was that journalists and lawyers who had become famous recently were also attracted.
Goto Midori felt strong uneasiness in her heart, so she clung to the barbed wire fence hoping to see the garbage bags being taken away.
"Manager Goto? What are you looking for?" Conan asked coldly, standing behind Goto Midori. Goto Midori, who was looking intently downstairs, was suddenly trembling with fright!
When did this kid appear behind her!?
"Ah! Well... I was so sad when I heard the news, so I just came up to have some fresh air..." Goto Midori replied in a panic, then threw Conan alone on the rooftop and walked downstairs.
She had just seen from the rooftop that the garbage collection truck at the end of the street had arrived here. Now she was ready to say goodbye to Officer Megure and pretend that this incident had never happened.
Even a child can tell there is something wrong with Goto Midori's poor acting, let alone Conan whose big eyes look like a murderer to everyone.
Conan ran to the barbed wire fence and looked in the direction Goto Midori had just gone, but found nothing except a garbage collection truck.
Wait! A garbage collection truck?!
Conan instantly thought of the unusual strangulation marks on the body's neck and the things missing at the scene! Not good! If we don't stop it quickly, the murder weapon might be destroyed!
Thinking of this, Conan suddenly turned around and was about to rush downstairs, but as soon as he turned around, he saw three heads staring at him with scrutinizing eyes.
"Uh, why did you guys come up here?" Conan asked speechlessly with the corner of his mouth twitching.
"Because we saw Conan and you sneaked away from the scene again!" Yoshida Ayumi said with a condemning tone.
"That's right, you guy always solves cases secretly and has no organizational discipline at all. We are a young detective team!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also occupied the moral high ground.
"Yes, yes! Don't try to throw us away this time and run away!" Moto Kojima said disdainfully with an expression on his face that said, "I have seen through your trick."
Conan sighed heavily in his heart, thinking that the high school detective, the savior of the neon police, and the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era would now have to coax children while solving cases on the spot, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel sad...
"Of course not! I just made a little discovery~" Conan knew that if he did not arrange some tasks for the trio, he would not be able to get rid of these three people today, so he said:
"It just so happens that I have something I need your help with! Go to the scene later and find Officer Megure. You must be quick!"
"Okay! It's on us!" The trio nodded excitedly. Even though it was just a mission to spread the word, they immediately felt like they were participating!
Conan hurried downstairs. On the way, he happened to encounter a police officer who thought he was wearing a uniform. This police officer seemed to be in a hurry to go downstairs.
Two people, one large and one small, took three steps at a time and rushed to the garbage collector: "Please wait a moment!"
"Eh?!" After Conan finished speaking, he looked at the policeman who spoke in surprise. What happened? This policeman also came to stop them from collecting garbage?
Police Officer A did not think as much as Conan did. He still had the tasks assigned to him by Officer Memu, so he took out his police officer ID and showed it to the sanitation staff:
"I am a criminal police officer from the Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department. Now we suspect that these garbage bags may contain murder weapons abandoned by prisoners. We need to check them one by one. Please cooperate."
"The murder weapon?! Okay, no problem, officer, you can do it yourself!" The two staff members looked at each other and nodded simply, then opened the trunk of the car, which contained the two garbage bags they had just loaded into the car.
"Thank you very much." Police Officer A nodded, and then several more police officers came over to help him check the contents of the garbage bag.
Conan stared dumbfounded at the police officers who were searching for the murder weapon. It shouldn't be. Logically speaking, the Metropolitan Police Department should be helpless at the moment. How come someone has deduced the truth before him?!
Also, he was the only one on the rooftop just now, which means that the person who deduced the truth is probably superior to himself?!
Who is the one?
Conan suddenly became curious about the crime scene upstairs, and then hurried upstairs.
At the scene, Goto Midori, who was going downstairs from the rooftop, was about to say goodbye to Officer Megure, but as soon as he came downstairs, Officer Megure stayed at the scene.
At this time, Officer Megure looked at Midori Goto with suspicion: "Ms. Goto, someone saw you and the deceased having an argument yesterday afternoon. Is that so?"
Hearing Officer Megure's question, Goto Midori's face changed suddenly and he stammered in explanation: "Well... it's not a quarrel, it's Miyuki who wants to resign and I'm trying to keep her here."
"And I have agreed with Miyuki to resign. Officer, are you doubting me?" At this point, Goto Midori's emotions fluctuated greatly, as if a child could raise her voice to try to convince adults that she didn't.
Just like lying.
Ewon couldn't bear to look at Goto Midori's poor acting skills. He walked up to Goto Midori and asked: "Ms. Goto Midori, are your hands injured?"
There was a large band-aid on Goto Midori's right hand, and Jiang Yuan and Vodka had already noticed it when they were under the apartment building.
"Ah! Well, it's... it's definitely an injury." When asked about the wound, Midori Goto subconsciously covered the band-aid on his hand with his other hand and reluctantly said, "It's because I was in the store yesterday.
I accidentally scratched my hand..."
Vodka, who was watching next to him, curled his lips. This excuse was very poor, as if he was insulting his IQ. Vodka took a step forward, and his generous body gave Goto Midori a full sense of oppression:
"Then can you take off the band-aid and let us take a look at the wound, if you really scratched yourself."
"I..." Midori Goto looked blank for a moment. She didn't expect that the trick she had been thinking about for a long time would be discovered so quickly!
At this moment, Goto Midori regretted why she had to return to the scene to confirm whether the murder weapon had been taken away! If she hadn't been there, she might not have been discovered!
"Ms. Goto, please cooperate." Officer Megure walked to Midori Goto to prevent her from doing anything irrational.
"Okay, so awesome!" Yoshida Ayumi looked at Jiang Yuan and Vodka with admiration, completely forgetting about Conan.
"Yeah, no wonder dad wants me to learn from lawyer Uozuka!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was also impressed by the charm of vodka.
Moto Kojima didn't speak, just nodded crazily, but he was thinking that if he became a person like Saburo Uozuka in the future, he would definitely be able to eat eel rice every meal!
Conan had arrived at the scene a long time ago, but did not interrupt and instead stood next to Haiyuan Ai. He always felt that Haiyuan Ai's silence today was a bit abnormal.
After listening to Vodka and Jiang Yuan's final reasoning and accusations, Conan whispered to Haibara Ai: "Look, although there are criminal groups like black organizations in society, there is never a shortage of people with righteous hearts."
"As long as there are people like Lawyer Uozuka and that guy from Ehara, justice will definitely defeat evil in this world in the end!"
Conan's expression was very determined at this moment. Although Jiang Yuan always didn't want to become a detective, he spoke out for justice in his own field and made friends with like-minded partners!
Now that his little friend has found his own path, Kudo Shinichi can't lag behind! He wants to find the black organization's lair in the darkness and uproot them!
This is the justice of Kudo Shinichi!!
Hearing Conan's firm declaration, Haibara Ai didn't say anything. She just glanced at Conan and then turned her gaze to the scene.
Hui Yuan Ai's glance contained countless emotions, including pity, sympathy, wanting to say something but not wanting to say it, and some words that were hard to express...
Huihara Ai suddenly felt a sense of loneliness, like everyone else was drunk and I was alone. Conan never imagined that his friend turned out to be a member of the black organization that he was looking for so hard.
He is still the notorious living king of hell, Unigu, in the hearts of peripheral members of the organization, and the light of justice Uozuka Saburo he admires is also one of the core members of the organization - Vodka.
Haiyuan Ai remembered what Jiang Yuan once said to her. It was Jiang Yuan's answer when she asked Jiang Yuan why she had to hide Conan.
"That guy Kudo is a person with an excessive sense of justice. His world is black and white, and reasoning was just a tool for him to show off his talent at the beginning."
"Telling everything to Conan now is not a good choice for you, me, or even the Maori family where Conan is staying."
"It's not too late to tell him when he has experienced more, otherwise his sense of justice will kill us all."
At that time, Hui Yuan Ai didn't understand what he was saying, but now she seems to understand it more or less.
Of course, this sentence is Jiang Yuan simply deceiving Haibara Ai. If Conan knew his identity, Conan would definitely have a showdown with him. Then how would he play tricks on this stinky reasoning maniac in the future?
