Rest 19
"Edogawa-kun...?"
As soon as Sosuke went upstairs, he saw Conan Edogawa peeking around on the second floor. After leaving, Sayaka refused the police's company and chose to stay in her room alone, just like her brothers and sisters - except for Kaoru. The child was crying all the time, and the policewoman couldn't comfort her so she could only wait until the child was tired and fell asleep before moving him into the room. During this time, the little girl's brothers and sisters seemed to be deaf and didn't move at all. Although Masao Komatsu was also notified of Kaoru's condition, the father seemed to have received another work call and was saying "sorry" to the person opposite in the courtyard, so he couldn't spare the time to come for a while.
At present, the questioning and on-site evidence collection work has come to an end. The departure of the forensic personnel has made the house much quieter. The two detectives have also launched a carpet investigation of the Komatsu house. They have always suspected that there is a hidden room here, even though the police have already searched it.
"Just call me Conan," the little detective was so skilled at pretending to be a child that it was sad. It was estimated that hundreds of episodes had passed. "Is Uncle Fangzi here to investigate as well?" He showed a well-behaved smile and stretched his head behind Fangzi Sousuke. "Where is Brother Miyake? Isn't he Uncle Fangzi's secretary?"
"I need his help to reply to a few emails," Fang Shusuke pushed his glasses. Miyano Akemi is really considerate and thorough, knows when to be blind and when to be alert. She is really the kind of secretary that the boss likes. "How is it?" He put his hands on his knees to keep his eyes parallel to the boy. "Did you find anything, Conan-kun?"
"No," Conan shook his head, "I haven't found any relevant evidence yet," the little detective bit his lip unwillingly. Among the remaining people in the Komatsu family, Komatsu Masao knew nothing, Taiyang was indifferent, Sayaka was wavering, and Xun was still immersed in her own emotions... Everyone was opposed to each other, but they had a strange tacit understanding to fight against the outside world together, which really made people feel overwhelmed. Edogawa Conan glanced at Fang Fang Sosuke. The agent did not treat him as a child like others. He would listen to what others said carefully. This made the boy have a lot of good feelings for him. "Hey, Uncle Fang Fang," suddenly remembered that Fang Fang Sosuke seemed to have had contact with the Komatsu family in advance. Edogawa Conan chose to ask, "Uncle, are you familiar with the Komatsu family? Can you find a way to let Sayaka speak..."
Let Sayaka speak? Fang Shusuke was stunned. He gave a wry smile at the boy's expectant eyes, "No, Conan-kun."
"We have missed a lot of opportunities," said Funoki Sousuke, who was emotionally stable. Compared to his colleagues with distinct personalities, this man was as ordinary as a roadside weed. His gray eyes were hidden behind the lenses, revealing a kind of exhaustion as if he were dead. "Sayaka's brother is obviously highly regarded by the whole family, and her sister is a high-needs child, so she is more likely to get her mother's care and attention."
"Children caught in the middle are often more likely to be depressed and rebellious. Of course, there are also those who are more likely to compromise, but Sayaka is obviously the former," Fang Shusuke briefly recounted the previous conversation that was repeatedly interrupted by Mrs. Komatsu and Ms. Chie to Conan who was in deep thought. Next to them was Sayaka's closed door. At this volume, the girl could not hear their voices. "Children who survive in the cracks have their own way of living, and Sayaka, I think she is disappointed with her family."
"She's somewhere else..." Edogawa Conan considered his words carefully. Thanks to Ishii Kazuki, he had also studied a lot of psychology, but he was still getting used to the practical application. "Seeking recognition?"
"Yes," Fang Shusuke nodded and let out a long breath, "Sayaka now will not listen to advice."
"I understand," Edogawa Conan sighed. He felt suffocated just by listening to Sosuke Fang's retelling of the way Mrs. Komatsu and Ms. Chie treated Sayaka. The child's defense was raised like this. "By the way, Uncle Fang, do you know Officer Ishii from the Metropolitan Police Department?" He always felt that this way of speaking was a little familiar. "Have you been a teacher before?" The tone and attitude of this speech always made him have the illusion that he saw Teacher Kobayashi. "It seems that Uncle Fang has studied child psychology, and he is especially good at Sayaka..."
"Yes, we have cooperated in activities to help prisoners return to society." They are more than acquaintances. Their relationship is inseparable. If Ishii Kazuki were here, Fubuki Sousuke could imagine him seriously adding unnecessary embellishments to the facts. "As for the teacher part..." He pushed his glasses to hide the changing expression on his face, "As expected of a detective, you guessed it right."
Although it was a complete failure.
"But as for Sayaka's child..." Fubuki Sousuke shrugged, "Maybe it's because I'm also a child caught in the middle."
