"Then you'll have to come along too!" Yoruichi Toyama chimed in, quite professionally. "Didn't you and Ran have a date there before?"
The high school detective from Kanto, the elementary school savior, the shrunken version of Shinichi Kudo whose body has shrunk but whose mind remains just as sharp, and Conan Edogawa, suddenly blushed in the night.
"W-what date...we didn't...we didn't have a date..."
"Kudo, you'd better be careful too." For some reason, Amuro Tooru lowered his voice and stared at Conan, who was steaming, with a serious expression that was completely different from his usual demeanor. "I haven't figured out the Black Organization's recent actions yet. Don't reveal any secrets that shouldn't be revealed just because of your relationship with Ran."
"At that time..."
Conan shuddered again, and the redness on his face faded.
"I understand..." he said sullenly at the end.
...
Dr. Kazato was the real culprit in the series of shootings by the detective, a fact he confessed to shortly after being taken to the police station for questioning.
Caught red-handed at the crime scene by a group of detectives, and further spurred on by Ran, who, despite her amnesia, was still a karate expert, Kazato gave up all resistance and blurted out the truth like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.
The deceased, Dr. Jinno, was a colleague of Dr. Kazato in the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the University of Tokyo Hospital a year ago.
Dr. Kazato is young, outstanding, and at the height of his career, which arouses Dr. Jinno's jealousy.
Therefore, Dr. Nino deliberately injured Dr. Kazato's hand with a scalpel during the surgery.
Unable to perform surgeries any longer, Dr. Kazeto had no choice but to change careers and become an awkward psychological counselor at Beika General Hospital, listening to clients vent about trivial matters.
However, if he hadn't had a chance encounter with Dr. Jinye a year ago, and heard Jinye confess under the influence of alcohol that the accident was actually intentional, he wouldn't have harbored murderous intent.
Dr. Kazeto, who had committed a passionate murder with a scalpel at the scene, hastily cleaned up the scene and ran home, anxiously waiting for the police to arrive.
Unexpectedly, after a period of investigation, the police concluded that the case was a suicide.
Kazeto, who was able to escape justice, had a rather turbulent year.
On the one hand, he felt that Jinye's death was deserved, and that it was God's will that he was not punished.
But on the other hand, how can one so easily forget the guilt of killing someone with one's own hands!
Kazato, who frequently wakes up from nightmares in the middle of the night, feels that he can't hold on any longer.
At that very moment, Officer Narasawa, who was there for psychological counseling, mentioned that the investigation into Dr. Hitono's case was to be reopened.
Kazeto, a psychologist, is no longer a calm and rational person.
He was paranoid, believing that he could only be safe if he eliminated all the police officers investigating the case.
This is why he repeatedly defied the wrath of the gods.
Otherwise, an outsider should easily understand that stopping an investigation from proceeding is not as simple as killing the police officers investigating the case.
Rather, the police, provoked in this way, will be even more determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
This is the only outcome of going against the state's violent apparatus.
However, Kazeto, who was already caught up in the moment, couldn't have imagined it.
Yoruichi Toyama had considered Ran's mental state before she dared to speculate that if Ran showed signs of regaining her memories, he would do everything in his power to silence her immediately.
The scene in the hospital ward was less a meticulously planned trap and more a farce.
As Dr. Kazato wept bitterly in the Metropolitan Police Department's interrogation room, recounting how Dr. Jinno had ruined his life, the modified gun he used in the crime was also found in his apartment.
With this irrefutable evidence, his murder conviction is established, and the case can be closed without a confession.
However, it seems that there are still some unresolved issues regarding some of the people involved in the death of Dr. Jinno a year ago.
The first one is Toshiya Odagiri, the only son of Chief Detective Odagiri.
Initially, Inspector Yu-cheng led a team to investigate what appeared to be the location of a secret gathering, but he died in the line of duty due to a sudden heart attack, and the lead mysteriously disappeared.
Furthermore, Minamoto also appeared at the wedding venue where Officer Sato was shot, which caused him to attract a lot of firepower from the killer.
The officers from the three departments who took over the case were inevitably too concerned about many things, which caused the investigation to stall.
When Yoruichi Toyama heard about the findings as a "special advisor," she could understand their feelings, but she couldn't help but feel contempt.
Are you sure this case is related to the minister's son?
Without further investigation, it's impossible to confirm this.
Therefore, no matter what, the best option is to continue investigating and get to the bottom of it.
When it turns out that the young master had simply wandered in by mistake and had nothing to do with the whole thing, everyone will be happy.
If, as predicted, the murderer is indeed the young master himself…
Hilarious! That minister must have transferred you all away a long time ago, and sent the young master abroad too, right?
Do you think you're the ones to suspect the minister of pulling strings behind the scenes and using unethical means to kill frontline criminal police officers?
The minister isn't out of his mind.
Thinking about all this, Yoruichi Toyama raised another question.
"Speaking of which, young master Odagiri and his father don't seem to have a good relationship, do they?"
"Then how did he end up at Inspector Shiratori's sister's wedding?"
When Minister Odagiri saw his son, he was furious and scolded him in public. The incident caused quite a stir, and those present couldn't hide it from him.
