Kenji Hagiwara didn't say much at the time, but after returning to the bedroom, a hint of thought appeared in his eyes.

The next day, he used the excuse of wanting to sort out the unsolved cases of the past ten years and, with the note approved by Inspector Megure, retrieved the unsolved cases of the past ten years from the archives, which naturally included the bizarre shooting case seven years ago.

However, he did not look at that case first. Instead, he read it in chronological order, starting from the case ten years ago, and he actually found some new clues.

Of course, more because of the long time and the relatively backward collection technology at that time, many clues have been broken. Even though Hagiwara Kenji added a few clues through the suspect's transcript and some vague traces in the photos, he still could not determine who the murderer was.

Fortunately, he had not worked in vain in the explosive ordnance disposal team over the years. Both his seriousness and patience were much better than before. Even if he had no results for a whole morning, he did not get anxious, which made Sato Miwako look up to him a lot.

She had seen him always surrounded by a group of girls, and she also always heard from Yumi Miyamoto that he organized a social gathering or something, so she thought he was the frivolous type, but she didn't expect him to be so serious.

that is……

She thought about it, reached out her hand, pushed aside Takagi Wataru, who was walking towards her and seemed to want to say something to her, and walked straight towards Hagiwara Kenji.

Takagi Wataru looked confused, not knowing what he had done to make her angry, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only laugh dryly and scratch his head.

Just then, Date Kou called him, and Takagi Wataru didn't bother to hang around Sato Miwako anymore, and quickly responded:

“Here I come!”

"Let's go, Inspector Megure received another call from Conan."

"Yes, I'll be right there!"

While responding, Takagi Wataru trotted towards Date Ko. When he was about to leave, he looked back as if unintentionally and happened to see Sato Miwako leaning against the table, talking to Hagiwara Kenji.

But in just a moment, he collected his thoughts and followed Ida Kou towards the door, completely unaware that at this moment, Sato Miwako was actually talking to Hagiwara Kenji about him.

"That stupid goose..."

Miwako Sato curled her lips and looked at Takagi Wataru's back with some dissatisfaction, but more of shyness.

"I even left Officer Shiratori to go find him that day, but he still didn't understand what I meant."

Why didn't he think about it, is she the kind of person who needs to bring a companion with her when she goes to investigate a case?

Sato Miwako let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore."

She looked down at the information in Hagiwara Kenji's hand and nodded twice.

"Why did Officer Hagiwara think of looking at the records of previous cold cases? These cases have basically been abandoned due to the long time and lack of evidence at the time."

However, although she said so, judging from her understanding of these cases, she had obviously done some investigation. Unfortunately, as she said, these cases were able to survive from ten years ago to today, ten years later. It is obvious that they cannot find out the truth just as they say they can.

So Hagiwara Kenji just curled his lips and smiled, and said softly:

"But if we give up, who will speak up for the victims and their families? And..."

He lowered his head to look at the case file in his hand, his face slightly downcast as he said:

"I wasn't much help either."

Although he never said it, he was actually quite proud of his insight and analytical skills. However, just this short morning made him doubt his own abilities.

Even though it was only a moment, he quickly regained his spirits, but it couldn't hide the fact that he was indeed hit hard.

However, this hint of depression caught Sato Miwako's eyes, and made her like Hagiwara Kenji even more.

Of course, this fondness is not a woman's fondness for a man, but simply her recognition of the other person as a new colleague.

This also made her blink her eyes, wanting to say something to interrupt his depression.

"Come to think of it, Officer Amamiya also reviewed the previous case a few days ago."

She pointed at the case file that Hagiwara Kenji was reading, tapped the bottom line twice with her fingertips, and said:

"This clue was added by Officer Amamiya after his investigation. I heard he seems to have some clues. However, because the original suspect is currently living abroad, the response to the application for international investigation has not yet come, so there is no way to proceed to the next step."

Following her words, Hagiwara Kenji's gaze fell back on the case materials in his hand.

After a while, a look of determination appeared in his eyes.

"I have a rough idea of ​​who the murderer is. If nothing unexpected happens, Amemiya probably thinks the same."

His words stunned Sato Miwako.

"Eh? You know that too?"

She picked up the pile of information again and read it word by word, but she was still confused. She didn't know who the murderer was and how he could have committed this closed-room murder in a confined space.

But she didn't question Kenji Hagiwara.

After all, whether it is true or not, they will know once they catch the suspect. There is no need for Kenji Hagiwara to lie about such things.

Thinking of this, Sato Miwako put down the pile of information. Seeing that Hagiwara Kenji picked up the information of another case, she thought about it and left quietly.
