Chapter 394
Faced with another silence, Kenji Hagiwara sighed and explained skillfully, "He's often misunderstood, so he's quite adept at this, but it's really all misunderstandings, so don't actually report it, it's useless... Ah, I hear police sirens!"
If his sister hadn't been there, Kenji Hagiwara would have actually wanted to cover Shinryu Saikawa's mouth just now.
It seems like Shinryu is in a good mood today... Does he like to joke around when he's in a good mood?
I didn't get to eat any cake at the buffet!
...Well, when she's in a bad mood, Xiao Shenliu speaks even more directly to others, but she's been more restrained now.
The system, which received the suspicious points contributed by Sera Masumi, was able to answer Hagiwara Kenji's questions, but unfortunately, no one else could hear it speak.
In any case, after much anticipation from Kenji Hagiwara, Inspector Megure arrived with his colleagues.
When Inspector Megure arrived at the scene, he saw that familiar, oppressive, and silent atmosphere. Fortunately, the arrival of the police seemed to be a catalyst, and everyone naturally found a new topic to talk about, gathering around the police to chat.
The suspect said his father used to live on the second floor, but the hotel staff said that there was no one else in the annex, but after the deceased fell, the elevator still strangely stopped on the second floor for a moment before coming down.
To avoid any more strange remarks from Shinryu Hagiwara, Kenji Hagiwara, upon hearing this clue, decisively chose to take Shinryu Hagiwara upstairs to check.
Conan Edogawa wanted to go too, his face showing longing. Kenji Hagiwara glanced at him and hesitated before asking, "Conan-kun, are you coming too?"
"Great!" Conan Edogawa's eyes lit up immediately.
In the end, with the addition of the police, a group of people went up to the second floor and witnessed a strange scene.
The electric wheelchair was still running, bumping into walls and changing course, with a strangely long fishing line tied to it.
The moment the police and detectives saw the fishing line, their eyes sharpened.
After all, fishing lines have hundreds of uses, most of which are used to make murder traps. People are well-informed and can tell from this scene that it is murder, but the method still needs to be explored.
Inspector Megure glanced at the person previously accused of murder by Shinryu Suikawa, and coughed: "Then the murderer should be one of the people who went to the annex earlier... Is anyone willing to turn themselves in?"
Of course, the criminal was unwilling to turn herself in; otherwise, why would she go through all this trouble?
Seeing that the criminal was not cooperating, just as Hanakawa Shinryu was about to speak, Hagiwara Kenji raised his hand and pressed down on his shoulder, whispering, "Don't say anything, leave this to me... My sister is here, let me solve a case and show off a bit."
Although Shinryu Hanchuan knew this was just an excuse, he still gave Kenji Hagiwara face, nodded, and said nothing more.
Soon, with the help of Sera Masumi and Hagiwara Kenji, the case was solved—the culprit was indeed the person recently identified by Samikawa Shinryu.
She killed the fraudster to avenge her parents, who had died after being scammed.
The evidence is that when she was helping the drunk prisoner into his wheelchair, fibers from his clothes got on her clothes.
She could have easily argued that she got the stains on her clothes because she had reconciled with the fraudster and they had hugged. But upon hearing this insincere suggestion, the criminal sneered, stopped struggling, and simply admitted it!
She had managed to resist admitting defeat even when facing Han Chuan Shenliu's "Aura of Darkness," but now, in order to avoid uttering those disgusting words, she had instead given in.
Everyone present could feel the depth of her hatred for the deceased.
Because Kenji Hagiwara, one of the main characters in the police academy arc, was present, Conan Edogawa didn't say much before the case was solved, and Sera Masumi couldn't find out whether Conan Edogawa was Shinichi Kudo... But it doesn't matter, today was just a chance encounter, she can wait until everything is ready before going to test Kogoro Mouri.
Furthermore, because Sera Masumi couldn't help but mention Edogawa Conan during her deductions, saying things like "What do you think, little brother?" or "Is that right, Conan-kun?", Edogawa Conan became very wary of her and immediately started playing dumb.
"Go ask the police, I don't really know much about this."
This person is so suspicious!!!
Why, with Mr. Kankawa here, Officer Hagiwara here, and even so many other police officers around, does this guy specifically come to ask him, an elementary school student?!
And on the rooftop, when this guy introduced himself as a detective, he immediately called him by his name, "Conan," and said, "I'm a detective just like this kid..." How did he know that?! He didn't say anything to this guy!
Did they investigate him beforehand?
Could this person be Bourbon, sent by the organization?!
Now, Conan Edogawa is extremely sensitive to anyone suspicious around him, and thinking about this, his attitude towards Sera Masumi has completely changed.
Actually, Sera Masumi was just overly excited.
Because of her childhood experiences, she had always looked forward to reuniting with Shinichi Kudo. Seeing Conan Edogawa, who looked exactly like Shinichi Kudo in her memory and was most likely Shinichi Kudo himself, she was a little excited. In addition, she had not received professional special agent training and was not very good at disguising her emotions, so she accidentally messed it up.
After realizing that Conan Edogawa had become wary of her, Sera Masumi also realized her mistake and could only regretfully give up this opportunity, instead trying to test Shinryu Samikawa instead.
After all, Shinryu Sugawa and Conan Edogawa are acquaintances, and Sugawa himself is quite suspicious. Getting to know Shinryu Sugawa might yield some unexpected gains.
"To be honest, I thought Mr. Hanchuan was just talking nonsense. I didn't expect you to recognize the culprit without even seeing the scene." Sera Masumi walked beside Hanchuan Fukari with a smile. "Can you tell me how you figured it out?"
She had secretly asked Inspector Megure about Shinryu Hanakawa's identity.
Perhaps knowing that Suzumiya was too easily misunderstood, Inspector Megure explained very decisively, telling Sera Masumi that Suzumiya used to be a detective and is now an advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Because the person she asked was correct, and because she was no longer a child and wouldn't be fooled, Sera Masumi successfully avoided taking several months of detours compared to Edogawa Conan.
Although she finally understood that the consultant was not a criminal consultant, Sera Masumi still couldn't let go of her suspicions about Fukawa Shinryu. After all, a profession is a profession, and an individual is an individual; otherwise, how did the term "corrupt cop" come about? The reason for his resignation is also worth investigating.
It's quite normal for Sera Masumi to pay more attention to the fact that the other party is around Conan Edogawa, who is suspected to be Shinichi Kudo in his shrunken form.
Kenji Hagiwara, with his sharp eyes, recognized that it was a girl, and said in a gentle tone, "You can't ask him. He'll only tell you it's what he saw with his eyes..."
Sera Masumi smiled, revealing her canine teeth: "Is it a trade secret? How about we consider selling the course?"
"I won't consider it," said Hanchuan Shenliu. "I don't need the money."
Conan Edogawa couldn't help but glance at him.
Yes, that's exactly it. Mr. Hanchuan really doesn't look like he came from an orphanage at all. This attitude of treating money as nothing... Is it because making money is too easy? But making money is easy only after he resigned, right? When he was a policeman, his income was limited, and it was impossible for him to have too much contact with the yakuza members who were willing to spend money on him back then.
But Officer Hagiwara said that Mr. Samikawa has always been like this...
Conan Edogawa was racking his brains.
However, Hagiwara Chisato seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but laugh: "Indeed, Hanukawa-kun is not short of money... and there are always people giving Hanukawa-kun money these days, aren't there?"
"Always?" Ran Mouri asked curiously. "Did this happen often before?"
Hagiwara Chisato explained in a lighthearted tone, since not explaining might affect her reputation: "The first time I met Hanchuan-kun was when I sent him, my brother, and Jinpei on a trip to America. The reason they suddenly went on a trip was because Hanchuan-kun helped a rich man catch the guy who stole his important things. To thank Hanchuan-kun, I heard that Hanchuan-kun was on vacation, so I invited him on a trip."
Sonoko Suzuki leaned closer, also intrigued: "And then? That's only once, right?"
"Then they went to Hawaii for vacation, and their hotel was bombed. Hanchuan helped resolve the situation, and the other party insisted on giving him money..."
Because Kenji Hagiwara was involved in these things, he told his older sister about it when he got home. And because the incident was so bizarre, Chika Hagiwara was deeply impressed: "It's been almost seven years since this happened. The odds of it seem like winning the lottery, but it seems to be very common for Hanukawa-kun."
Han Chuan Shenliu nodded: "Because I designed that bomb, the other party still insisted on paying me after I dealt with it, which was really unnecessary."
Shiliang Zhenjun: "…………"
Kenji Hagiwara's lips twitched as he added, "The design drawings were accidentally leaked."
“Oh…” Sera Masumi nodded, her expression unreadable.
Conan Edogawa: "…………"
Wait, about seven years ago, Hawaii, hotels, bombs... uh!
Was his father also involved in this case?!
So Mr. Hanchuan was the one who designed the bomb that was planted in the hotel?!
Although Ms. Jodie mentioned a case she had encountered where the bomb was designed by Sakura Kagawa when she brought up Sakura Kagawa, she didn't mention Hawaii and then immediately went on to talk about Sakura Kagawa's trip to the American bomb symposium. Conan Edogawa assumed it was all happening at the same time and didn't connect the dots. Now he finally understands everything!
Conan Edogawa was shocked. He never expected that he had crossed paths with Shinryu Sakkawa so early on. It was a pity that he was sick at the time and couldn't go with him. Otherwise, he would definitely have gone to solve the case with his father.
But even if you can make money when you grow up, does the hardship of your childhood really leave no trace at all?
Just as Conan Edogawa was contributing his doubt points, the system suddenly popped up.
[Good news! The undercover system is fully repaired! We can retrieve the documents we missed handing over earlier! If you're free lately, I'll go talk to them... Anyway, you don't buy anything, so it shouldn't affect anything, right?]
Usoppei resolutely said, "No, bring it here. Who knows what your concept of time is like... Seven years! It's been under maintenance for seven years! Do you know how I've spent those seven years?!"
Suspicion Value System: 【...? Isn't it like today, where you leave something rotten and people still send you suspicion points?】
Usoppei: [Regarding the fact that I didn't open my memories to you, but the photos from my memories appeared in this world, are you going to make me blame it on you or the undercover system?]
Suspicion System: [Wait here, I'll call the undercover system right away.]
Better to die for a friend than for myself! Besides, what's the deal with that photo? It's truly innocent! If it could see into Usakata Saiki's mind, would it be constantly doubting that it's been deceived?!
The seven-year period is over! Welcome back to the undercover system! It can't wait to shift the blame!
...Hopefully, that brat Bo Yezhai will let it go and let it figure out what to do.
