Stay away from Conan.

"What's wrong? What's on your mind?"

Seeing that Gao Yuan fell into thought after listening to her words, Xiao Ai couldn't help but ask him curiously, feeling that Gao Yuan must have realized something.

In response, Gao Yuan simply stated:
"The key to the problem still seems to lie with Vermouth, but... although it doesn't help much with tonight's events, I have a feeling that we're close to finding the answer to a core issue within the organization..."

"However, I haven't yet figured out a reasonable way to understand all of this..."

Hearing Gao Yuan say this, Ai blinked in surprise. After all, compared to the so-called truth of the current events, Gao Yuan's claim of knowing the answer to the organization's core questions was obviously much more important.

Therefore, although she wasn't quite sure why Gao Yuan could say such things after talking about those topics with her, Xiao Ai knew very well that Gao Yuan's personality meant he wasn't just saying it casually without any reason, but must have been extremely confident to say it.

As a result, Ai's expression gradually calmed down from her initial surprise, and she replied:

"Is that so? Then... what do you plan to do about the possibility of organized involvement in this situation?"

Since Gao Yuan hasn't reached a definitive conclusion yet, and it doesn't involve the current situation, then ultimately, we still need to consider the truth of the matter at hand.

"Are you planning to just let it go, or..."

"Of course, we won't let this matter end here... However, regarding the truth of this incident, I do not have any direct evidence to identify the culprit..."

Thus, returning to the context of this series of shootings and bombings, Gao Yuan pondered for a while and felt as if he had fallen into a fixed mindset—

Admittedly, there are still many aspects of tonight's situation that I haven't figured out yet, so I can't offer the police any helpful advice.

However, the cause and effect of this matter did not only happen tonight. The source of all the events is obviously related to the incident more than a year ago. In that case, I can simply and clearly tell the police all the information I have, so that the police can directly focus on the psychologist, Kyosuke Uekado, instead of having to do everything myself.

Especially when the other party may already be on guard against you.

Therefore, in response to Ai's question, Gao Yuan replied:

"The police probably haven't grasped the core clues about the cause of the whole incident yet. Now that I know these causes, I might as well just tell the police this information directly, so that they can investigate further on their own after sharing the information. That should make progress faster."

After Gao Yuan said this, Xiao Ai nodded slightly, feeling that this seemed to be the best approach. At least Gao Yuan wouldn't have to risk his life to investigate, nor would he have to worry about encountering any accidents.

So, after learning about Takato's next plan, Ai didn't ask any more questions and went to the basement to prepare for her experiment. She also planned to contact her sister, Miyano Akemi, since it had been a few days since they had a proper chat.

As for Gao Yuan himself, he went to his computer and began editing the relevant text, preparing to write down the information he knew from the original plot, mainly about the death of the surgeon a year ago, the truth of the incident that the police had not fully investigated at the time, the issues involved in the various parties involved, and, most importantly, how Dr. Kazato Kyosuke changed from a surgeon to a psychiatrist... and so on. Gao Yuan wrote down all of this in extremely detailed descriptions and submitted it to the police anonymously. He believed that after receiving this content, the police would definitely verify it, and once the police verified the source of the information, they would understand the direction of the investigation. In this way, he would not have to worry about the subsequent investigation for the time being. Presumably, with enough clues, the police would have no problem investigating the relevant facts.

Furthermore, if this leads to a leak of information and causes the suspect to act unusually, then this is actually a test to see if there is indeed a mole within the police force.

If there really was a mole who tipped off Kyosuke Kazato, then it would explain why the trap set tonight based on the bomb clue failed to catch the real culprit. It would also answer the question and help us understand whether this was really related to the organization.

And if not...

So this question may not have an answer yet...

With this in mind, after editing the text, Gao Yuan began to consider who he should send it to...

……

The Metropolitan Police Department was brightly lit in the early hours of the morning.

Because a bomb was discovered at tonight's engagement party, the police used it to set a trap, luring the suspect into a trap and apprehending a suspected perpetrator. This suspect is now being questioned by the police at the Metropolitan Police Department.

After all, this matter concerns the two police colleagues who were shot and killed. Now that the suspect has been caught, as police officers, they are all filled with anger and want to avenge their colleagues.

Therefore, when questioned, the suspect consistently denied his crimes, which infuriated the interrogating police officers, and thus they began to stalemate with the suspect.

And so, watching the suspect arrested at the banquet in the interrogation room, who refused to confess to his crimes despite the harsh interrogation, Sato Miwako, who was involved in the matter, had been observing him from outside the interrogation room. Eventually, her expression changed from solemn to dazed, as if she was about to give up and was about to rest.

"Go and rest, Sato. We're keeping an eye on things here."

At this moment, noticing Sato Miwako's condition, Inspector Megure offered the following advice:
“You haven’t had a proper rest these past few days because of this incident. Now that the suspect is in our hands, you don’t need to overwork yourself. You should get some rest.”

Hearing Inspector Megure say this, Sato Miwako had some questions, but she decided to wait and see what the interrogation inside would say. Until then, she would listen to Inspector Megure and go back to rest.

And so, Sato Miwako responded to Inspector Megure's greeting and left, preparing to depart—

"Officer Sato!"

Just then, in the corridor of the Metropolitan Police Department, Officer Shiratori walked over and struck up a conversation with Miwako Sato… (End of Chapter)
