Rest 15
"Thank you very much for your cooperation," Officer Megure put away the notebook in his hand, "Leave the rest to us. You stay with the children first. Please keep in touch. We will contact you later if you need anything."
Komatsu Masao nodded numbly, he stood up, and paused when passing by the house where Sosuke and his group lived. After glancing at everyone, his eyes rested on Hattori Heiji's face.
"You are the detective I hired, right?" As if talking to himself, Komatsu Masao left the room without waiting for an answer, "...Forget it."
The atmosphere did not get much better after the man left, but became even more solemn. Hattori Heiji clenched his hands hanging at his sides, Edogawa Conan bit his lips, Toyama Kazuha twisted the corners of her clothes, Fubuki Sosuke and Miyake Shota smiled bitterly at each other.
"Heiji..." Toyama Kazuha opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't know how to comfort her childhood sweetheart, "Are you okay...?"
"Inspector," the dark-skinned high school detective took a deep breath. What he needed now was a calm mind. He suppressed his chaotic thoughts and asked, "Are those three children willing to be questioned?"
"This..." Officer Megure was stunned for a moment. Before he could show his embarrassment, someone helped to answer, "I guess it's not convenient-" "When questioning minors as witnesses, it is required to notify the guardian to be present," the person who answered was Fusako Sousuke, who pushed his glasses, "and different methods should be adopted according to the physical and mental characteristics of minors."
"Inspector Megure should have sent someone to conduct a simple inquiry, but the formal inquiry of the three children of the Komatsu family requires Mr. Komatsu Masao to be present." Because Komatsu Masao's suspicion had not been completely ruled out before, the police chose to temporarily separate him from the children. Sosuke Fang talked about the situation, "Inspector Megure, what is the current physical and mental state of the three children?"
Officer Megure sighed, "The eldest son and the second daughter of the deceased have been resisting questioning. They have not spoken since the incident, and the youngest child has been crying non-stop." He rubbed his eyebrows, "It seems that Mr. Komatsu was not careful when he called the police, so the three children saw their mother's body, and their mental state was greatly shocked..."
"Don't the Komatsu family have any familiar relatives in the local area?" Fang Shujie didn't know the Komatsu family that well. "According to Mr. Komatsu Masao's current condition, it seems that it would be difficult for him to take care of the child. Can you send a social worker?"
The oldest child, Taiyang, is only 15 years old, Sayaka is 12 years old, and Xun is 10 years old. None of them seem to be very capable, and the youngest, Xun, is even spoiled and a little childish. The only adult in the Komatsu family currently does not look reliable either.
"I did ask for it," Inspector Megure gave Sosuke Fang an awkward look, "but the efficiency over there is a little..." Seeing the knowing looks of everyone present, the chubby police officer scratched his hat and spoke as if to divert the silent atmosphere of condemnation, "Mr. Fang seems to be quite clear about this process, which is a bit unexpected..."
"I used to be a teacher," Fang Fang Zongjie brushed off the topic lightly. He really didn't want to recall the days in his hometown. "So, as for those three children..."
"At the estimated time of death," Edogawa Conan's childish voice came out, and the small detective's expression was more serious than ever before, "Taiyang, Sayaka and Kaoru."
"What are they doing?"
