Symbiosis 14
The day after Kazuki Ishii's death, the heat of the incident was still brewing.
No matter how anxious they were, others would not follow their schedule. It was already evening when Date Kou and Edogawa Conan arrived in Hokkaido. They and Kurokawa Chie simply filled their stomachs in the hotel and were urged by the latter to rest and recharge their energy so as to get up early the next day to investigate.
In fact, Date Kou and Edogawa Conan were indeed tired. The former had to catch two flights in a short period of time, and the latter had the body of a child and was in a tense mental state. As soon as they called their families to report their safety, they immediately fell asleep on the bed and did not wake up until the next morning when Kurokawa Chie knocked on the door.
"Good morning," even while eating breakfast, Kurokawa Chie didn't look up, and kept typing something on her phone, "Ida-kun, and Conan-kun," In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Date said on the plane that he didn't need to call himself a police officer all the time, and Edogawa Conan's colleague lied and said that he was Maori Kogoro's assistant. Although he was young, he was already a qualified detective. I don't know if Kurokawa Chie believed it or not, anyway, she didn't ask much, "Have you confirmed the itinerary for today?"
"Let's go visit the former landlord of Aoki Apartment first," Ida Hang took out his notebook and flipped through it. "Because the coroner is on a business trip, if an autopsy is needed, we have to call in a forensic doctor from other places, and it will take a while to get a queue." It is normal for Japanese forensic doctors to be short of manpower. Ida Hang can't do anything. "Although we have found a way to extract DNA, there is no match in the database. The identity of the deceased has not been confirmed yet."
"Is Miss Kurokawa busy?" Edogawa Conan took a sip of coffee. Thinking of the absent-mindedness of Mao Lilan on the phone last night, he felt uncomfortable. He could only end the call as soon as possible and dial Kudo Shinichi's number to comfort her, "Brother Hang, where are the deceased's personal belongings? No clues?"
"The clothes were all very common styles, and there was nothing to prove my identity," Idahang said hesitantly, "There was only a ticket in my pocket..." It was a pity that Neon did not require real-name verification when buying tickets, "It was a family ticket."
"I see," Chie Kurokawa finished her work, picked up a spoon and hastily stirred the porridge in front of her that had already cooled down a few times, then drank it directly. "The deceased may have a child," they picked up some information that could be said on the plane and told Chie Kurokawa, "It fits your guess that she is Ikki's mother..."
"I'm texting with Kaori." Compared to her unrestrained way of eating, Kurokawa Chie was very careful in handling the aftermath. The woman took out a tissue to make sure that the marks on the corners of her lips were completely wiped off before she responded to Edogawa Conan, "She is trying to prevent Grandma Ono from watching TV. Before she was discharged from the hospital, the doctor said that she couldn't be stimulated at her age, otherwise..."
"Let's go," Chie Kurokawa picked up the coat on the chair, with a strange calmness in her brows, "Ida-kun, Conan-kun," she looked at the two with a slight sadness in her eyes. For a moment, Edogawa Conan even felt that this woman had arrived at the truth before them. Ida Kou did not respond, but stood up silently with her things, "We have to face it."
Ida Kou looked at Kurokawa Chie deeply. Perhaps it was some kind of intuition that made this tough police officer relax a little when Kurokawa Chie questioned him, and he revealed some information at the right time.
There is something hidden in this incident that only Chie Kurokawa and Kazuki Ishii can understand.
