Chapter 028 Mission Objective
Maori Kogoro was stunned when he saw that the person being pointed out was Higashino Hiroshi. He asked, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"
But the man said, "But he and you are the only outsiders coming to the institute today."
"Oh?" Amuro Toru said slowly, "We didn't say the murderer wasn't an insider."
The expressions of the people blocking the door all changed.
"What do you mean? How could we possibly attack Mr. Nakajima?"
"Mr. Nakajima is the backbone of our institute! Without him, how can our institute continue to develop?"
"Tomiyasu Yusaku, where did this group of unknown people come from? Where is Director Ogawa? Hurry up and get the director to come out and administer justice!"
…
A group of researchers, who usually keep silent, at this moment, quacked like eight hundred ducks.
Edogawa Conan yelled, "Stop arguing!" He put his hands on his hips and said, "My uncle is the famous detective Maori Kogoro! With him around, we will definitely catch the murderer!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Kogoro Mouri.
Maori Kogoro straightened his collar, coughed lightly, and said, "That's right! Leave it to me!" He looked at Amuro Toru and asked, "Have you called the police?"
Amuro Toru looked at his phone and shook his head helplessly: "There is no signal here."
Fu Yasu immediately said, "There are only two landlines here that can make calls. I'm going to call the police now."
Maori Kogoro nodded, then looked at the others: "Then let's have a chat before the police arrive. Where were you before the incident? What were you doing?"
The researchers looked at each other, then began to explain their alibis.
Dong Yexi didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing and be treated as a suspect just because he came to get a report.
Fortunately, Conan and Toru Amuro are here, they will definitely clear his name.
He just had to tell the truth.
After some questioning, there were only three suspects. In addition to Higashino Hiroshi, the other two were researchers who had worked with Nakajima for many years.
One of them was the one who had just accused Dong Yexi, named Yamano Kuan.
On the surface it's a choice between three, but in reality it's a choice between two.
Conan Edogawa also didn't believe that Higashino Xi would kill anyone. Although he didn't say it, he had already ruled him out subconsciously.
Moreover, compared to the newcomer Dong Yexi, it is more likely that someone who is familiar with the institute committed the crime.
As expected, under the repeated questioning of Toru Amuro and Conan Edogawa, the murderer's words became incoherent and he revealed his flaws. It was Yamano Hiroshi.
He discovered that Nakajima was using the institute's resources for other research and making a lot of money. He collected evidence and reported it to the director. However, the director turned a blind eye and did not punish Nakajima. He was resentful of this and kidnapped Director Ogawa, hoping to frame Nakajima.
But when he confronted Nakajima Hiroshi, he was so angry that he impulsively injected him with an overdose of anesthetic, which led to Nakajima Hiroshi's death.
Edogawa Conan said: It’s difficult to comment.
The case was solved, but other things were not.
Higashino Hiroshi and Amuro Toru both came to get experimental materials, but no one knew where he put them except Nakajima Hiroshi.
Toru Amuro didn't even know what Rum asked him to get!
Dong Yexi can ask other staff members to help him find it, but what about him?
He couldn't arouse other people's suspicion, so he could only grab a USB flash drive from Nakajima Hiroshi's office before the police arrived and prepare to take it back to report.
Whatever, it’s the mission target’s fault for being dead.
With such a mood, Toru Amuro took the things back to report. When Rum took a look... it was indeed not what he wanted.
Rum said angrily, "What did you give me?"
Amuro Toru spread his hands and said innocently, "But you didn't tell me what to take!"
Rum cursed angrily, "That Nakajima Hiroshi! How dare you fool me with this kind of thing!"
Amuro Toru kindly defended Nakajima Hiroshi: "He didn't mean to do it. He didn't expect to die."
Rum: ...
He learned the whole process of the case from Amuro Toru, thought for a while, and said, "Did that Toudou University student also take a report? You should find a way to get it."
Amuro Toru said: "What he took was information about a new type of anesthetic drug, and he confirmed it on the spot."
Rum glanced at him and said, "This is what I want!"
Toru Amuro: Oh...
"But I don't know him very well..."
Rum gave him a dark look and whispered, "You mean you can't do it?"
Amuro Toru smiled and said, "How could that be? I just want you to give me some time."
Rum snorted coldly: "In three days, I want to see something."
After sending off his difficult boss, Toru Amuro came to the organization's base alone.
Seeing that he looked very unhappy, Vermouth asked, "What's wrong? Did the mission fail? It's rare to see you look so sad."
Amuro Toru shrugged. "Only halfway done." He sat down next to Vermouth and recounted his mission, emphasizing its difficulty. "I'm wondering if there's any way I can get to know a college student in three days."
Gin on the side snorted coldly and said, "Aren't you good at this kind of thing?"
Vermouth also smiled and said, "Use your charm to win him over!"
Amuro Toru pinched his brows and said, "Hey, hey, hey, that's a man!"
“What does it matter whether you’re a man or a woman?” Vermouth took a sip from her wine glass. “I believe that no matter what gender, they will be attracted by your charm.”
"Forget it then." Amuro Toru looked polite and declined. He suddenly said, "By the way, that person is a student from the University of Tokyo. Can you ask your little friend to help me?"
The smile on Vermouth's face disappeared instantly, and she glanced at Amuro Toru sharply.
Amuro Toru was shocked by her look and immediately raised his hands and said, "I'm just kidding~"
Vermouth tapped his wine glass and whispered, "That child wasn't meant for these things."
Amuro Toru forced a smile on his face and raised Hatori Yui's level again in his mind.
At this time, Gin said, "It's not impossible to ask him to help with the work."
"Gin!" Vermouth said sternly.
"Don't make a fuss." Gin glanced at Vermouth and continued, "The organization has raised him for so many years. It's not a big deal to ask him to do a favor."
Vermouth's face turned very ugly, and she retorted: "He has never received any training in this area! Besides, he can't get involved in these things!"
Gin scoffed and asked, "Is it not allowed, or do you not allow it?"
Vermouth raised her chin and said, "So what if I don't allow it? Go talk to the boss if you have the guts."
Gin stood up, walked to Vermouth, and whispered, "Besides using Boss to pressure me, what else can you do?"
Vermouth turned her head and looked him straight in the eyes, then replied, "As long as it works."
Gin walked past her and said coldly, "If you don't tell me, I'll go myself." Vodka immediately followed and helped his brother open the car door.
When Vermouth chased out, she only saw the exhaust of the car.
Amuro Toru walked up to her and asked awkwardly, "Should I not mention him?"
Vermouth turned her head and glared at him fiercely: "I know you are curious about him, but you shouldn't involve him." She turned and got into her car and chased after Gin.
Amuro Toru touched his chin and couldn't help frowning in thought.
A newcomer actually caused a dispute between Vermouth and Gin. This person is no ordinary person!
Gin and Vermouth rushed all the way to the Haido Hot Spring Hotel, and the three of them went to the top floor suite together.
As soon as Hatori Yui opened the door, he saw three faces he didn't want to see.
He twitched his lips and moved sideways to let them in.
Hatori Yui rubbed his brows and asked, "Why did you come to see me? Didn't you agree not to contact me while you were away?"
Gin said in a deep voice: "I have a task that requires your help."
Hatori Yui sighed deeply and said, "Didn't you say I don't have to do these things? If it's just talk, then I might as well go back."
Vermouth said: "Of course you don't have to do it, don't listen to him."
Gin glanced at her and said to Hatori Yuiichi, "If you don't go, I'll do it myself."
Hatori Yui spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "Please feel free to do as you please."
Gin sneered and said slowly: "Even if the target is someone you know?"
Hatori Yui paused and looked suddenly at Gin.
"Dong Yexi, you should know him, right?"
Hatori Yuiichi frowned slightly and said dissatisfiedly, "You're spying on me?"
Gin rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not that free. It's just that after you entered the University of Tokyo, we screened all the relationships around you."
"If you don't want to do it, that's fine. I'll do it myself. But I've always had little patience. No task is as quick as a bullet."
Hatori Yui put his hands in his pockets and said, "No, he's a well-known figure in the school. If he dies suddenly, it will cause a big uproar." He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said calmly, "I accept the mission, just this once."
Gin said, "Get the report he brought out from Ogawa Research Institute within three days."
Hatori Yui frowned and said, "Three days is too long. I don't know him very well." His hands in his pockets were clenched tightly into fists, leaving marks of nails on his palms.
Gin walked out with Vodka, saying as he walked, "That's your business."
After the two of them left, Vermouth walked up and gently patted Hatori Yui's shoulder.
She whispered, "Since you've deceived Gin once, you must continue to deceive him and never let the truth get out of the story. Otherwise, the child will be in danger."
Hatori Yui said coldly, "Auntie, I didn't lie."
Vermouth raised her hand and touched his cheek, saying, "That's best." A trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, just left in silence.
After the door closed, Yui rushed into the bathroom, put his head in the sink, and turned on the faucet.
The cold water instantly soaked his hair, and as the water level rose, his mouth and nose were submerged. He didn't know how long he held his breath, so long that his lungs vaguely felt pain, before he raised his head from the water.
Dizziness and black eyes.
He supported himself on the sink with both hands, looked at himself in the mirror, suddenly raised his hand, and punched the mirror hard, shattering it. Blood dripped down his knuckles, staining the sink red.
He had never realized so clearly that he and Dong Yexi were not from the same world!
Even if he lives in the sunshine, he cannot escape the darkness!
