Chapter 223 Adjournment Detective
Chapter 223 Adjournment: Detective
—————May 9, 3:30 p.m.——————
—————Shikoku region, lavender villa——————
Generally speaking, the location of Lavender Villa is very good, on the cliff of the island.
If someone kills someone here, then ties the body to stones and throws it down.
It can easily make a person disappear from this world silently.
"…Therefore, I don't think it is very tenable to create a closed room murder case."
Watching the busy criminal police coming and going.
A rather gloomy-looking high school detective, Junya Tokatsu, stood nearby.
According to Guiyue Liuyun's previous idea, he reviewed the case again.
Although at first he judged that the death was murdered based on the dismantled windows.
But now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to make sense. The person who removed the window might not be Kana Mizuguchi.
It is possible that the defendant was simply unlucky and was in the same place as the deceased when he died.
"But if you insist on doing it this way, I think it's not impossible."
Akazawa Shuhiro, who was standing next to Tokitsu Junya, narrowed his eyes.
As an old detective in the Shikoku region, he was no stranger to Tokitsu Junya.
After all, many times the police were called out and Junya Tokatsu was at the crime scene.
However, after hearing this, he still couldn't understand it.
"Tokitsu Junya, I've always been curious about why you want to get involved in this case."
"Since I can't get any money and I don't have any rights, I'm asking to be removed from the newspaper this time."
"Money, power, fame, you don't want anything, what is it all for?"
For what… ?
Tokatsu Junya smiled and shook his head.
"Nothing, I just feel a sense of accomplishment in solving the case, don't you think so?"
"Just like the purpose of any competition is to win, the purpose of detectives solving cases and reasoning is to win..."
"Of course, it's for the sense of accomplishment of unraveling the case and finally coming up with a correct answer that is completely different from others."
"If the truth is different from what I speculated, then can't I just make it the same as what I speculated?"
Hearing this, Akasawa Osamu's pupils couldn't help but tremble.
Are there such weirdos in this world who don't want money, fame or power, and who do things purely out of interest?
Are all famous detectives such freaks?
Inspector Akasawa shook his head, and a trace of gloom appeared in his heart.
He asked Chinatsu Aoki to make a list of the new evidence that had been prepared.
Then, he handed it directly to Junya Tokitsu for inspection.
Tokatsu Junya took the list, looked through it, and nodded.
"Okay, that's it. I have already faxed the details of the case to Gui Yue Liu Yun."
"As we agreed before, don't publish my name in the newspapers, and I won't testify in court."
“I believe that you police officers will be able to…find the [truth] behind this case.”
The gloomy detective walked out of the lavender villa slowly.
Looking at the receding back of Tokitsu Junya, Aoki Chinatsu hesitated for a moment and then asked.
"Are we really going to lay out the evidence like Detective Tokitsu said?"
"If this continues, something bad will happen."
Something bad...
Inspector Akazawa's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"It's time to stop hanging out with these lunatics every day."
"It's time to consider... a way out."
—————May 9, 3:30 p.m.——————
—————Shikoku Regional Police Station, Interrogation Room——————"Kana, how are you doing? Did the police officers do anything to you?"
"After coming down from the courtroom, I was very worried about your condition... but now it seems that everything is fine..."
"That's great."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu sat in the interrogation room and communicated with Kana Mizuguchi on the other side through a megaphone.
And Mizuguchi Kana's spirit was obviously much better than yesterday, perhaps because she saw the hope of innocence.
The maid still had a few candies in her hand and asked softly.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine," a gorgeously dressed girl warned the police.
"Nanatsuki, didn't Mr. Black Magician say that he would come to the interrogation room at around 7 or 8 in the evening?"
"Why now... and Mr. Black Magician isn't here either."
Speaking of this, Koshimizu Nanatsuki couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Xiang Yuanguang was probably going to talk to Gui Yueying, so he didn't bother to care about him.
Anyway, Hedgehog Head said it was certain and it would be done nine out of ten times.
She took out a pen and paper and recalled what Hosou Reito had said in the hospital office.
Regarding the plan for this trip, he nodded and asked seriously.
"Kana, what do you know about the deceased Yamamoto Eri?"
"I remember you said that Yamamoto Eri would sometimes talk to you very gently."
"Did you mention anything about her father, or why she always stayed in Lavender Villa?"
The maid recalled and talked about Yamamoto Eri.
By the time Koshimizu Nanatsuki had filled up several pages of her notebook and was ready to leave.
She heard Mizuguchi Kana's question.
"Nanatsuki, what exactly is a detective?... The detective at the crime scene was too much..."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
"I think that only those who believe in life until they are sure of death can be considered a great detective."
—————May 9, 3:30 p.m.——————
—————Shikoku Regional Hospital, Special Ward——————
"...Congratulations, Conan's leg injury has almost recovered."
"You will be discharged tomorrow. Please go and complete the discharge procedures then."
Hosou Reito, who was doing his daily ward rounds, was wearing a white coat.
He was writing and drawing in his notebook while giving instructions to Kogoro Mori.
Uncle Maori looked at another patient on the bed, who was dressed similarly to Xiang Yuanguang, with a puzzled look on his face.
"I see, doctor. I want to ask, what's going on with the person next to me?"
"He actually has the same hedgehog haircut as Xiang Yuanguang!"
(Having a spiky haircut doesn't bother you, does it?)
Conan was lying helplessly on the hospital bed, feeling unhappy in his heart.
However, this is indeed very strange, as if he was a substitute for Xiang Yuan.
Although he didn't know why, Conan had a feeling that Xiang Yuan was involved in some big trouble again.
(Well, I'll go check on my hedgehog friend when I'm discharged from the hospital.)
At this time, Baosheng Reito asked with a hint of meaning.
"Mr. Maori, in your opinion, what does it mean to be a detective?"
In response to this question, Kogoro Mouri covered the back of his head and laughed, and talked nonsense.
And Conan already had a definite answer from the beginning.
Of course, a detective is someone who finds out the truth behind every case and then makes it public.
Who said I was like that? I just updated late.
