Chapter 2344 The Banquet Continues

After Takato pointed out that Kazeto Kyosuke had treated Inspector Narasawa, Inspector Megure immediately took out Narasawa's photo and presented it to Kazeto Kyosuke.

After looking at the photos of Narasawa, Kyosuke Kazato looked thoughtful before finally saying:

"So it was this person..."

Do you remember?

Upon hearing this response, Inspector Megure immediately pressed for further questions:
"Do you remember what happened when Officer Narasawa came to you for psychological counseling?"

"Regarding this matter, all I remember is... he seemed to have suffered a severe psychological blow because a colleague at work died suddenly, which is why he came to me for psychological counseling..."

"Well... that's about it."

Thus, after Kyosuke Kazato recounted these events, Inspector Megure immediately glanced at Toshiro Odagiri, whose expression instantly became serious—

"So, the crux of the matter is indeed still that one thing!"

Now, Toshiro Odagiri said this with great certainty, then looked at Takato and asked:
"Do you have any other ideas, Mr. Akechi?"

To this, Gao Yuan simply shook his head and said:

"That's all. That's all I found out. I thought... Dr. Kazato would have more clues... but it seems like it wasn't a complete waste of time."

As he said this, Gao Yuan looked at Odagiri Toshiro, as if he felt that their reaction just now indicated that they knew something.

But the problem is that even if Takato wanted to accuse Kazeto Kyosuke, he didn't have any clear evidence to prove it, and up until now, Kazeto Kyosuke's behavior hadn't shown any obvious flaws.

So let's take it slow and talk about it later. After all, there's still one thing that needs to be dealt with before we can discuss anything else.

Faced with Takato's reaction, Inspector Megure and Toshiro Odagiri naturally understood what Takato meant, but this was not the right time to say such things, so Inspector Megure couldn't help but speak up:

"We do have some ideas, but... it doesn't seem to be helping our investigation much. It's just that, for now, it has corrected a wrong direction in our investigation..."

"In short, Brother Mingzhi, I owe you a lot this time."

"And Dr. Kazato, the clues you provided are also very important. If possible, could we take a look at the subsequent diagnostic report regarding Officer Narasawa?"

"Well, of course."

Seeing Inspector Megure and the others' reactions, Kyosuke Kazato knew he had gotten away with it, so he naturally responded in kind.

Odagiri Toshiro then decided not to keep the two any longer and paused the questioning.

As Takato and Kyosuke Kazato left the room that had been temporarily used for questioning and returned to the banquet hall to continue the banquet, Conan and Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but huddle together, wanting to find out as soon as possible what had happened and how much information Takato had gathered about the incident.

In response, Gao Yuan simply shared some information he could, including why Officer Narasawa went to see a psychiatrist when Kazeto Kyosuke treated him, and then said nothing more.

Therefore, for Conan and Kogoro Mouri, this matter seems to involve the police force, especially since the police obviously know about the sudden death of Officer Narasawa's colleague. There's probably more to it than meets the eye, so it seems they'll have to ask Inspector Megure and the others. However, the only thing worth noting is that, based on Takato's deduction, the culprit is probably not someone from within the police force.

Thus, no one discussed this further and the engagement banquet continued. It seemed that the actions just now did not attract much attention or change. The two protagonists of this engagement banquet, the newlyweds, were greeting the guests in the banquet hall.

"So, he didn't say anything about proposing to you?"

When the newlyweds arrived at Eri's place, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but ask Sara, the sister of Officer Shiratori, about this matter, seemingly very curious about what ultimately led to the couple's decision to get married.

But to this question, Sharo chuckled lightly:
"He's the kind of person who would never say these things."

As he said this, the groom, Haruzuki Kotaro, awkwardly scratched the back of his head, looking a little shy.

In response to this situation, Eri Kisaki couldn't help but comment:

"It's actually better to marry an honest man like that, because those quick-witted guys are often the best at lying and are not good people at all."

As they were saying this, Kogoro Mouri and Conan, having finished their conversation with Takato, walked over to Eri Kisaki's side and overheard her words. This made Kogoro Mouri look displeased, so he simply walked away before even reaching her side to get some drinks.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's reaction, especially after hearing Eri Kisaki's comments, Conan couldn't help but smile helplessly, thinking to himself:

"Hehe, this assessment of Uncle Mori doesn't seem to be wrong..."

However, before Conan could finish laughing, Eri's next words made him stop laughing altogether—

"Especially that kid from the Kudo family, he's just like your dad. He's the kind of person who's quick-witted and can even trick people into believing everything he says. You might not believe anything he says. He says he's out solving cases, but he's probably hiding somewhere doing something else. You'd better be careful, Ran."

Hearing Eri's evaluation of him like that, Conan couldn't help but feel depressed, thinking that he could never be like Uncle Mori, but...

It seems that I can't refute that last statement...

"mom……"

Seeing this, Ran blushed and didn't know how to reply to Eri, so she simply responded in a coquettish manner and then took the initiative to ask:
"So, Mom, I've always wondered about this: how exactly did Dad propose to you?"

Thus, not only Ran was present, but also Sonoko Suzuki and Sara were very interested in knowing the answer to this question. In this atmosphere, after noticing that Kogoro Mouri had already walked away, and under their persistent questioning, Eri Kisaki, somewhat embarrassed, slowly said:

He said... "I really love you so much, I love you more than anyone else on Earth..."

Thus, upon hearing this, the reactions varied. Ran and Sara were somewhat delighted, while Sonoko's expression was one of surprise—

Turning her head to glance at Kogoro Mouri beside her, Sonoko seemed to find it hard to believe that such words would come from Kogoro Mouri's mouth.

"Perhaps, this is what they mean by 'when feelings run deep, words are unnecessary.'"

At this moment, Gao Yuan also came over and struck up a conversation, while Xiao Ai, who had come along with him, secretly glanced at him, her mind blankly wandering... (End of this chapter)
