Scarlet Night 9
"The police are investigating the case!"
A large number of fierce policemen rushed in, "The children are fine now—" The leading policeman with purple eyes and semi-long hair saw Furuya Rei at a glance, and the pause in his tone was fleeting, "What's going on? Didn't the child who called the police say that there were no adults here?"
"I came in from the back, Mr. Policeman," I don't know how the child who called the police described it, but the police who came all looked aggressive and wanted to arrest a few people on the spot (there seemed to be a few female police officers holding blankets and hot tea in the back?), Furuya Rei raised his hand to indicate his innocence, "A kind passerby told me that a few children had mistakenly entered the abandoned hospital, and asked me to think of a way to bring them out."
I didn't expect to see my old classmates again so soon. The blond young man concealed the nostalgia in his eyes. Hagiwara Kenji, who had the highest EQ in the police academy group, naturally showed his attitude towards strangers. His friendliness was mixed with indifference and scrutiny. But it's okay. Furuya Rei was confident that Toru Amuro's identity could withstand scrutiny.
"Bring the children out first," Hagiwara Kenji turned sideways and talked to the female police officer behind him, "This gentleman..." "Amuro Toru." Furuya Rei added his pseudonym at the right time, "Okay, Mr. Amuro, please come with me and make some work space for my colleagues."
"Um, Officer Hagiwara," Conan Edogawa, who had been blocked by Furuya Rei from approaching the corpse, saw the familiar face and hurried forward, "The corpse here is in a very strange condition..."
"Conan-kun," Hagiwara Kenji interrupted the boy, his tone serious, "You and your friends go outside the room first." He signaled Edogawa Conan to pay attention to the young detective team who were still panicking because of this horrific scene, "I'll notify Mori-senpai to pick you up later."
But... Conan Edogawa, still unwilling to give up, opened his mouth and was about to continue asking, but suddenly he felt the corner of his clothes seemed to be pulled. When he turned around, the pale face of the brown-haired girl came into view.
"Haibara..." Conan Edogawa almost cried out, but he suppressed his voice as Haibara Ai shook her head, "Why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?"
And the next second, her answer made him shudder.
"They are here," the scientist who escaped from the organization pulled her hood tighter to prevent anyone from seeing her face. "Dead bodies that look like dried sweet potatoes. I've seen them before."
"In Kelver's lab."
"What did you say——" Edogawa Conan took a breath and suppressed his shock before anyone noticed. He was terrified at the thought of someone from the Black Organization nearby. His inquiring eyes swept over everyone present, whether they were forensic doctors, forensic personnel or police officers. There could be someone from the Black Organization hiding among them. Of course, the most suspicious one was that...
The little famous detective looked at Toru Amuro who was pulled aside for questioning by Kenji Hagiwara. The latter seemed to be actively cooperating with the police and did his best to answer every question.
"Um...police sister," Edogawa Conan pretended to be innocent and cute and walked in front of a female police officer. Hagiwara Kenji was flipping through a manual on the side, and Amuro Toru kept nodding, "Can you give me some more hot tea? My friend doesn't feel well..."
He quietly reached into his pocket and held the small, button-shaped bug in his palm.
And when the policewoman took his hand and left, a flash of metal appeared on the blond young man's trouser legs.
