Chapter 31 Manipulated Suicide
"Ikemoto Eiyoshi? Where is the location? What is the condition of the body and when it was found? Okay. We'll be there right away."

The car, the fast-burning coal, the suicide note, and the suicide were exactly the same as the case twelve years ago.

Chuanxi Mugui clenched his fists: Have you finally shown up again?

AOI is truly a professional designer for disguising homicide as suicide.

"There are no beds, it's smelly and dirty, and the food is generally not enough. I really don't want to stay here any longer."

"Same words, aren't you bored?"

Kawano Hejiu had his back to him.

"If you can't leave right away, can you at least arrange a single room for me?"

Kawano He turned and looked at him, not knowing whether this was a sign of confidence in AOI or something else. Although the Metropolitan Police Department had their undercover agents, given AOI's temper, they might not agree to his request, as it sounded a bit unreasonable.

After walking out of the Metropolitan Police Department, Kawano Kawahisa called AOI and told them everything that happened in the briefing room.

Finally, a positive answer was obtained.

Unexpectedly, AOI would agree to such a request, which surprised him quite a bit.

Not only will they provide the other party with a comfortable private room, they will even send them sushi or curry rice, which is like enjoying themselves in a different place.

The next day, Dongshanzhi was sent to an ambulance, but eventually died due to ineffective rescue.

On the third day, due to the lack of evidence, Ikemoto Eiyoshi was ruled to have committed suicide out of fear of crime. The case was not closed, but was transferred to the Fifth Special Investigation Unit for Criminals.

Megure Jusan and others finally realized that a powerful enemy had appeared and was manipulating everything in secret.

"As a criminal police officer, I must not let him be wrongly accused like this. I must catch the real murderer and clear his name."

He looked at Kawanishi Mugui and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. I'm not entrusting you as a criminal police officer, but as a private person. Please, Kawanishi, please try not to let innocent people get hurt again."

Megure Juzo patted his shoulder heavily, making Kawanishi Kiki feel that the responsibility on his shoulders seemed to have become even heavier.

"Inspector Megure, whether it's for public or private reasons, I will find the mastermind even if you don't tell me. After all, this is why I became a detective, and I have never given up the pursuit over the years. No matter how powerful the person behind the scenes is, I will definitely catch him with my own hands, I promise."

Kawanishi Mugui's gaze became particularly determined.

Six days later, Kawanishi Kiki arrived at the Mori Detective Agency.

Although he doesn't like detectives and has no feelings for "Sleeping Kogoro", he still respects Maori Kogoro just because he was a criminal policeman.

He came this time only as Chuanxi Mugui.

After all, it is more practical to entrust a detective to investigate a person.

But he didn't expect to meet a waiter from the coffee shop downstairs. After explaining, he found out that he was the first disciple of Maori Kogoro, which surprised Kawanishi Kiki.

After all, the magnetic fields of the two people are not the same.

"I have heard of Mr. Maori's name for a long time. I came here this time to ask you to help me find someone."

Such compliments were not in line with his character. But even a child knew that this was necessary, so why shouldn't he do it? After all, the first communication between people is about finding something, getting closer to each other, and perhaps having unexpected gains.

"I see. Do you have any information about the other party?"

When Kogoro Mouri becomes serious, he seems somewhat reliable.

"some."

Chuanxi Mugui handed over some of the information he had collected to the other party.

After finding the result, Kogoro Mori took a quick look.

"Very detailed information. If that's the case, I can find the other party even without any help from me, right?"

"If it's true, then there's really no need to bother you. But the information I got is all fake, as if someone had designed it. Name, age, experience... except for the one about graduating from the police academy, everything else is fake. I have contacted some of her colleagues to find out, but the answers I got were very surprising."

Four pairs of eyes stared at him, waiting for his next words.

"Without exception, they all don't remember the existence of this person in the police academy. They even forgot his name and appearance, as if their memories were wiped out. It's a bit weird. Fortunately, some of them still remember some characteristics and events."

During the shooting training, everyone was not in a good condition, after all, it was the first time for most people. But Qing Yujiu was a little different. After aiming at the bull's eye, she threw the pistol and hit the center directly, leaving the instructor in charge of them speechless.

You may say she is a wimp, but she hit the bull's eye; you may say she is a smart one, but she just threw the gun away.

Facing the instructor's questioning, Qing Yujiu answered confidently: "Just tell me whether you hit the target or not!"

Then, he was punished to clean the toilet for a week.

"After that, I don't know if she deliberately went against the instructor or if her own strength was just like that, but every time the results were ranked, she was always last. But her instructor had high hopes for her, thinking that she was just hiding her strength. But after graduation, she did not become a police officer as expected, and I don't know what she did afterwards. I suspect that she is related to a case twelve years ago. Of course, this is a private commission, so until you find her, I will transfer 1 million yen to your account every month until you find her."

"One, one million yen!" Kogoro Mori was shocked. It's one million per month, which is definitely one hundred million when rounded off!
Maori Kogoro coughed lightly, straightened his face, and said seriously: "Please rest assured, I will find this person as soon as possible."

"Then, I'll leave it to you."

A case from twelve years ago.
"What exactly is it?"

"Conan, don't ask so many questions, kid." Xiaolan took Conan aside and said apologetically, "Sorry, Conan always likes this, please don't take it to heart."

"I'm sorry I can't tell you about the case from twelve years ago. My goal is simple, just to find her, even if she's not the one I really want to find. Also, if you hear any news about a person named 'AOI', please let me know, and I'll give you an extra two million in reward."

After saying this, Kawanishi Kigui said goodbye and left the office.

At this time, his sister was just finishing school, so he happened to go and pick her up.

Kawanishi Ki was standing outside the gate, the only parent there. If it weren't for the previous incident, he might have let Shiori come alone so that she wouldn't think he was nagging her.

After all, I always like to tell her to be careful and stay away from strangers.

"Brother, I received a huge lollipop today!"

Shiori showed it to him, and saw that the stick was tied with a pink bow with a ribbon.

"Eating too much sugar can cause tooth decay."

Kawanishi Mugui smiled and carried her into the car, "Did someone give it to you because they like you?"

Only in front of his family would he behave like an ordinary person, laughing and joking, without deliberately pretending to be calm and indifferent, and he could even put the matter aside for the time being.

"I don't know who gave it to me. When I came back from lunch today, I found a lollipop on the table. There was also a greeting card with 'AOI' written on it. I didn't know what it meant, so I wanted to let my brother see it, so I put the card away."

As she spoke, Shiori opened her backpack and rummaged through it.

But I searched my schoolbag thoroughly and couldn't find the greeting card.

"How strange, could it have grown legs and run away?"

Shiori scratched her head, looking puzzled and confused.

"Shiori."

Kawanishi Mugui suddenly called her name, "How about going to another cram school? Or maybe we can just not go and spend more time playing games with friends?"

"Why?"

Shiori pouted, "I think it's more fun in the cram school. And I've made a lot of friends here. I'd be sad if I had to part with them like this."

"The separation is only temporary, and besides, you still have time after school to play together. Got it?"

Shiori nodded as if she understood, and said nothing more.

Kawanishi Mugui looked ahead, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel.

AOI
You seem to be more powerful than I thought. If you attack my family again, I will kill you with my own hands.

"Do you know AOI?"

"I thought you would continue with your previous question. But are you sure you want to ask this? You know, you can never regret your move."

Conan hesitated for a moment, and looking at the other person's smiling face, he realized that she didn't know who AOI was. However, as long as he was not a member of that organization, he could actually be a little relieved. Now that AOI has entered the police's sight, it is only a matter of time before he is caught.

"Then let's go back to the same question. Malt whiskey, who?"

"Ah?"

Qinghai Chuantang blinked, looking a little surprised, "What? Who is it? Aren't you asking about the wine?"

At this moment, Conan finally understood the true nature of the person in front of him. To sum it up in one word, it was: a trap.

He couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, wondering how he had mistakenly thought that she would be of the same kind as him.

"Don't be too sad, little friend Conan." Qing Hai Chuantang said with a smile: "Compared to some so-called information exchange, I prefer actual action. So if you need help in the future, I will serve you without hesitation. Of course, the premise is that it does not touch my personal principles. I will do my best."

Seeing this, Conan asked curiously: "What are your principles?"

He thought that the other party would make a declaration of justice or use some loud slogan to express his views. But he did not expect that the other party would reply like this: "As long as I am happy."

The corners of Conan's mouth twitched. What kind of principle is this?
"Principles are something that sometimes you may think about, but you may not necessarily follow them. So sometimes, it's just a thought or talk. What really makes people stick to it is the bottom line in their hearts. For example, some people, no matter how sad or desperate they are, will not vent their anger on others or hurt others. This is a bottom line."

A person who has no bottom line, or cannot stick to his bottom line, is essentially no different from a demon in the abyss.

Just one is in hell and the other is in the world.

The Walking Dead.

"So what's your bottom line?"

It's not that Conan is asking too many questions, but he doesn't need to know which side the other person has chosen. There are enough doubts about her, and if he can't confirm the other person's departure, there is no way for the two to reach the stage of "trust".

Yes, it is just a transaction or exploitation relationship.

"I don't know."

Qinghai Chuantang smiled and said, "It's hard to explain it in a few words. But I know what to do and what not to do at the right time. At least in some choices, you and I won't be too different. After all, both detectives and profilers are actually closer to criminal police."

Unclear camp stance. Will it be red, black, or neutral in the end?
The incident has come to an end but it is far from over. After finding out who the AOI is, judgment will come.
