Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 222 The Childhood Shadow of the Library
The young couple were playing around there, and Mr. Aso, who was not far away, was looking at his wife and daughter snuggled up beside him, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Not long ago, he was still worried about his son's illness and the drug transportation incident, and suffered from insomnia every night.

The whole person seemed to be in a dark abyss, with no hope in sight.

Unexpectedly, everything was resolved in just half a day. Once Chengshi was cured, the family could resume their normal life.

Thinking of this, Keiji Aso couldn't help but look at Hayashi Shuichi with gratitude. If it weren't for this young detective, he wouldn't be so lucky.

……

Kameyama and Kawamoto were seriously injured and it was unknown whether they could survive.

The unconscious Heiyan and Xiben were only knocked unconscious by Lin Xiuyi. They woke up when they were transferred to the boat.

Although transnational drug trafficking is not under the jurisdiction of the First Investigation Division, the attempt by Kameyama and his four companions to murder the Aso family falls under the jurisdiction of Inspector Samezaki.

He directly ordered Officer Matsumoto to find a room on the ship and interrogate the two men on the spot.

Lin Xiuyi had nothing to do on the boat, so he took Kisaki Eri with him to join in the fun.

As soon as they approached the interrogation room, they heard the sounds of fists and kicks coming from the room, as well as the screams of Kuroiwa and Nishimoto.

Kisaki Eri frowned uncomfortably and muttered softly, "Violent interrogation is illegal."

Lin Xiuyi didn't feel any psychological burden and just walked up and knocked on the door.

The door was quickly opened. When Officer Matsumoto saw that the visitors were Hayashi Hideichi and Kisaki Eri, he quickly blocked the doorway and said, "Mr. Lin, it's better not to look at what's going on inside. It's too early for you now..."

"Did you find out anything?" Lin Xiuyi interrupted.

"Not yet," Officer Matsumoto shook his head. "These two guys are too stubborn."

Lin Xiuyi looked inside through the gap and saw Kuroiwa and Nishimoto tied to chairs. There were no obvious external injuries on their faces.

The bald Heiyan, who used to have a rude attitude, was now trembling slightly, his eyes filled with fear.

Xiben lowered his head, his forehead was covered with sweat, his body twitched from time to time, and even his arrogant hedgehog hair had drooped.

"Let's try another method," Lin Xiuyi reminded him, "if someone finds out they're injured, it'll be hard to explain to you."

"That's right," Kisaki Eri said quickly, "torture has been banned for a long time..."

"We know this isn't right," Officer Matsumoto said helplessly, "but these two guys are very tight-lipped. If we don't do this, it's probably going to be hard to get anything useful out of them."

"I've read about an interrogation method in a book before," Lin Xiuyi said after thinking for a moment, "Get some toilet paper and cover the prisoner's face with it. Then, use a kettle to pour water on the paper. As the paper gets soaked, the prisoner will gradually feel the suffocation. After hovering on the edge of death a few times, this can quickly break down the prisoner's psychological defenses, and it's unlikely to leave scars..."

"Shuichi!" Kieri interrupted her childhood sweetheart angrily, "You..."

"What a great idea!" Officer Matsumoto clapped his hands excitedly, "Let's try it now."

"Be careful, don't let anyone really die," Lin Xiuyi reminded, then pulled Kisaki Eri away.

When they returned to the deck, the girl's face turned pale and she asked, "Where did you learn that method you just mentioned? It's too cruel. Prisoners also have human rights."

"I know they have human rights, so I specifically reminded Officer Matsumoto not to kill anyone," Lin Xiuyi said with a smile.

"You know what I'm talking about?" Kisaki Eri said with displeasure, "Don't try to fool me." "Eri, you asked the police to care about the human rights of the prisoners," Lin Xiuyi asked back, "but when these prisoners treat the victims, do they care about the human rights of the victims?"

"If it weren't for me, the Aso family of three would have been burned to death. Compared to being burned to death, letting them feel the suffocation is already very merciful."

"Police officers and criminals are different," Kisaki Eri retorted, "They will be punished by law."

"If the police can't get anything out of them, how can the court impose sanctions?" Lin Xiu said expressionlessly. "I know violent interrogations are wrong and can easily lead to wrongful convictions."

"But Nishimoto and Kuroiwa, I saw them burning the Aso family to death with my own eyes. Since they can't be innocent, then in order to quickly uncover the facts of the crime, it's natural to resort to some minor tactics."

"What you said does make sense, but you could have used a more civilized approach," Hibiki Eri said unconvinced. "Psychology has many methods for interrogating criminals."

"There's no time for psychological warfare now," Lin Xiuyi waved his hand. "Besides, if psychology were truly 100% effective, violent interrogations wouldn't be rampant around the world."

……

More than ten minutes later, Hayashi Shuichi and Kisaki Eri were still wasting their breath trying to convince each other.

Officer Matsumoto came out with a happy face, reporting to Inspector Samezaki with the interrogation record.
"We found out that among the four people, Guishan is the village chief and is responsible for covering up their drug hiding on Yueying Island."

"Kawamoto had done business abroad before, and he was responsible for purchasing drugs abroad."

"Kuroiwa assisted Aso in bringing the drugs Kawamoto bought back to Japan."

"Nishimoto knows a lot of drug dealers in Tokyo, and he's in charge of the final sales."

"Well, that's enough motivation for them to try to kill the Aso family," Inspector Samezaki nodded with satisfaction. "As for the drug trafficking, it's outside our jurisdiction. Let the professionals handle it."

The reason why he was in a hurry to interrogate the two was mainly because he was worried that the case would be distorted by the media.

After all, although Lin Xiuyi has the title of investigation consultant of the Investigation Division 1, he is ultimately just an underage high school student.

Of the four prisoners he captured this time, two were seriously injured and it was unknown whether they could survive.

Who knows how the news media will report it after they find out. Only when we have enough evidence in our hands will we not be afraid of their meddling.

Lin Xiuyi asked for the interrogation record to check. Although Kisaki Eri didn't like violent interrogations, she also came over out of curiosity.

After just one look, the girl exclaimed, "Rice Flower Library? They're actually dealing drugs there?"

"It's just a possibility," Officer Matsumoto corrected. "Nishimoto couldn't clearly state the other party's specific address. He only knew that every time he contacted the other party to purchase drugs, the transaction took place near the Beika Library."

"...I was saying it, there's no way a place like a library could be used for drug trafficking."

Kisaki Eri breathed a sigh of relief. For someone like her who loves books, the library is a holy place, so it is natural that she would never see it ruined by drugs.

Then you will be disappointed...

Lin Xiuyi glanced at his childhood sweetheart, Xiben's confession, which reminded him of a childhood trauma left by watching Conan in his previous life.

I didn't expect that the museum director had already started dealing drugs 20 years ago...
