Fake 18
Edogawa Conan swallowed, at this moment he felt that any words were pale and powerless. All words of comfort were redundant in the face of the bloody facts. The boy even regretted why he asked, it was useless except to bring up other people's sad memories.
"...Everything is over." Edogawa Conan said dryly, "Even if Uncle Fang was affected by the incident and resigned, he is living a good life now..."
"Maybe," Fang Shusuke said noncommittally. The coffee was no longer hot, and he could clearly feel the slightly cool bitter taste flowing into his esophagus. "A few years ago, I would have never thought that I would do a job other than teaching in my life," the young man smiled helplessly, "and I'm actually doing quite well."
"I'm sorry, I scared you," Fang Shusuke bowed his head slightly and apologized to Edogawa Conan, "I shouldn't tell children these things that will give them nightmares at night..."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Edogawa Conan quickly waved his hands to show that he didn't care, "I'm a detective! I'm not afraid of incidents!" Although he was indeed frightened, the boy's eyes drifted for a moment. He didn't expect that he would suddenly be involved in that case. Even he, who was well-informed, couldn't help but be horrified, "How did the house uncle find his current job?"
"Ah, this..." Fang Shusuke pushed up his glasses. When he smiled, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes showed happy lines. "At first, I didn't plan to leave the village, but after the parents and the principal knew that I was the one who reported the possibility that a student was involved in a murder, they ostracized me. Stores refused to sell me things, people kept knocking on the door at night, and I was forbidden to attend classes and asked to do trivial chores. I would suddenly be insulted when I walked on the street..."
At Edogawa Conan's wide eyes, the young man continued, "I thought about leaving the village and going to a big city. Anyway, I went to university in Tokyo. The boss of the first company I went to ran away with the money, and the boss of the second one seriously violated the labor law. But fortunately, I met my current boss and he left before he died suddenly... Conan? Are you okay?"
At some point, Edogawa Conan's head lowered lower and lower, almost knocking on the table, "...It's okay," the boy's voice was a little weak. He deeply suspected that he was infected by his good brother Hattori Heiji, how could he step on the landmine so accurately, "Uncle House, actually, you can be perfunctory with children..."
Don't be so honest, I really think I deserve to die.
"Don't underestimate him just because he's still a child, Conan-kun," Fang Shusuke's earnest tone made Edogawa Conan sit up straight subconsciously. After realizing that he had put on an attitude of listening carefully, the latter couldn't help but hold his forehead, "It's a terrible thing to be basically mature physically but without a matching mentality. I believe you also know from the incident at Komatsu's house."
Facing Edogawa Conan's guilty look, Fang Shusuke smiled slightly, "Besides, there is also good news in this."
Because, I met her.

"Hey, Hagi," Jinpei Matsuda leaned over the steering wheel. In the incident just now, he found two small-scale fire bombs and detonated them in an open area nearby. It was rare for him to lie on the steering wheel without sunglasses. His voice was filled with annoyance. "How long are we going to keep doing this?"
His childhood friend had just opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. The aroma of oden wafted faintly from the plastic bag in his hand. "Wait a little longer," Hagiwara Kenji smiled bitterly and rubbed his brows, "At least wait for the news from there..."
"Who knows how long it will take," Matsuda Jinpei gritted his teeth. He knew exactly what "over there" meant. "You know what people in the Metropolitan Police Department say about that guy! He's simply a living target! He doesn't even think about what he is as a police officer. He just blindly defends him because of his so-called 'hard work' and 'high moral character'. God knows how many people like Kuwata Tsubasa are included in their credit! A bunch of incompetent and ignorant idiots!" He slammed his fist heavily on the steering wheel. The sound of the horn startled the crows nearby. An innocent person was wronged. It was like jumping in Matsuda Jinpei's minefield. "Observe! Observe! Observe! I can't stand it if this goes on!"
"Calm down, Jinpei-kun," Hagiwara Kenji advised, "Don't forget what he said not to act rashly—"
"Then should we just let him--" Matsuda Jinpei turned his head suddenly, but his voice stopped abruptly when he met Hagiwara Kenji's eyes.
"Don't forget, Jinpei-chan," Hagiwara Kenji's purple eyes burned with as much anger as Kenji Kouji's. Veins appeared on the back of his hands, proving how much effort it took to restrain himself. "We investigated Ikki-chan because we believed in him."
