Rest 24
"Hey," unexpectedly, it was Komatsu Taiyo who spoke this time. He looked back and forth between Noda and Sayaka at his father, who was at a loss as to what to do because his emotional outburst was interrupted. "So you choose to stand on the side of this parasitic man?" The contempt and indifference in his tone made people frown. "Grandma and Mom have been troubled for a long time because of the supernatural events--"
"What bothers them is that their daughters are always yelling that there are strangers in the house," Sayaka refused to give in to her brother's sarcasm. "Since you don't believe me," she said with indifference. The expressions of the brother and sister were surprisingly similar at this moment. "Then rely on yourself. They are more used to relying on their common sense. The eldest son is smart and hardworking, and the youngest daughter is lively and innocent," Noda cast an uneasy look at her, which was exchanged for a comforting smile. "And the second daughter, who is full of lies, just needs to be quiet."
"Calm down!" Toyama Kazuha stood between the two children with a wry smile, raising her hand to smooth things over. "It's not good for siblings to quarrel, and there's a case going on right now... Ah! Heiji asked you to testify yourself," she turned her head to Noda, "Excuse me, Mr. Noda, where were you and what were you doing between 11:00 and 2:00 last night?"
The family relationships in the Komatsu family have become so complicated and twisted that there is a picky grandmother, a tired mother, a strange father, an indifferent eldest son, a rebellious second daughter, a sensitive youngest daughter...ah, and maybe a parasite too. It has to be said that the people present have begun to feel stomachaches, as if they had swallowed a piece of indigestible rubber, and there was a feeling of something stuck in their stomachs.
"This..." Noda was stunned for a moment, did not answer immediately, and fell silent again as he thought.
"...Let me say this first," Hattori Heiji cleared his throat and solemnly declared, "If you don't tell the truth, you may be sent to prison on suspicion of murder-" "Sayaka will be suspected of being your accomplice," Fang Shusuke suddenly interrupted. He was really afraid that Noda would decide to shut up after being persuaded by Hattori Heiji. "Indeed, the prison will have free rooms, three meals a day, and you can see the sun when you go out. Even if you are sick, they will provide relevant medical services..."
The prison was much better than the hidden room in the Komatsu family. At least they didn't have to sneak around. After all, Sosuke helped solve the employment problems of many released prisoners, so he was quite familiar with the environment inside. You know, there are many elderly people in Japan who commit crimes intentionally to solve the problem of elderly care. Noda was not suitable for labor in terms of age or physical condition. "I'm sorry, but Sayaka can't be suspected of parricide, Mr. Noda." Hattori Heiji widened his eyes, as if to say, "Who would deliberately go to jail?" But his childhood friend and a certain detective were quick-witted and quick-handed. One covered his mouth and the other kicked his legs to make sure the sound was muted. "Please tell me everything you know."
"She is only twelve years old. She can't shut herself off like this." Fang Shusuke advised sincerely. Noda's expression relaxed a little, and Sayaka seemed a little anxious. Edogawa Conan caught her hesitant look when she looked at her brother and friends. "For you and for her, please put aside your unnecessary worries."
"I'll leave it to you."
