The world of science is unscientific

Thinking of this, Inspector Megure asked, "Mr. Okiya, what is your relationship with Kogoro Mouri?"

Subaru Okiya looked a little confused, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Um... we should be strangers for now."

Inspector Megure was pleasantly surprised and continued, "So, are you a detective?"

Subaru Okiya remained confused, and after thinking it over and over, he shook his head. "No, not exactly."

It would be great!

Overjoyed, Inspector Megure instinctively grabbed Subaru Okiya's hand and patted it hard, as if to say that everything was understood without words.

From Subaru Okiya's perspective, however, he was even more confused.

What do you mean?

Is there a conflict between the police and Kogoro Mouri, or even the detective industry?

But according to the intelligence, that's not the case...

Subaru Okiya glanced furtively at Yusuke Suzuki, but noticing nothing unusual on the other's face, he decided not to make any move and simply let Juichi Megure's chubby hands roam over his hands.

At that moment, Takagi Wataru suddenly rushed in from outside the door.

"Megure...Police Department...!?"

The young Wataru Takagi fully demonstrated the changing process of his expression from eagerness to confusion, then to shock, and finally to terror.

What is this called?

This is what we call expressing the sense of layering in art!

His gaze, however, was fixed heavily on those intertwined hands.

Inspector Megure: "..."

He quickly realized what was happening, pulled his hand back, and instinctively covered his mouth with it, coughing twice to start the conversation.

But then he hesitated and withdrew his hand.

Because I just touched a man, I feel really awkward now.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Takagi Wataru was shocked again.

No, Inspector Megure, you're not even acting anymore, are you?

You're still smelling it!

Ah!!! My eyes!

Wataru Takagi said he is currently very confused.

"Takagi!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Inspector Megure slammed his fist on the table, causing his main body above his head to tremble.

But his usual composure made him steady his tone, and he lowered his eyes to ask, "What situation do you need to report?"

"Ah? Ah..."

Takagi Wataru reacted quickly, stood up straight and saluted, "Inspector Megure, there was another explosion just now, and the fire is very big."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure slammed his fist on the table again, "Lawless... utterly lawless!"

Thinking of the pressure that was about to be exerted again from above, he quickly moved around the table. "Takagi, prepare the car immediately, let's go take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yusuke Suzuki also stood up. The sound of the chair legs scraping against the ground was slightly jarring. He remained calm and said, "I'll go take a look too."

Inspector Megure initially wanted to refuse, but the thought of the pressure made him immediately give in.

Saving face is not important now.

The people above him are all stressed out; even he, with his easygoing nature and large build, couldn't handle it at all.

Now, I'm not even in the mood to pull radishes with my wife when I get home at night.

No, it's questionable whether he can even get home today!

"Suzuki, keep up!"

Inspector Megure's gaze instantly hardened, and he turned and ran off with Wataru Takagi.

Yusuke Suzuki wasn't going to follow along. He looked at Subaru Okiya and said, "There's nothing for you to do here. If you want to go back, then go back."

He left immediately after saying that.

Subaru Okiya could only helplessly shrug.

To be honest, he really wanted to go and see for himself.

After all, this was a bombing case that Yusuke Suzuki had actively requested to get involved in.

Who wouldn't be curious?

Could it really be related to the organization?

Subaru Okiya briefly considered the possibilities before ultimately rejecting them.

As for asking Suzuki Yusuke whether it's possible to install surveillance cameras or eavesdropping devices... it seems there's no need to ask now.

It's definitely a rejection.

Yusuke Suzuki treated him exactly like a superior would treat a subordinate.

A subordinate asking if he can conduct espionage at his boss's house—isn't that just plain wrong?

Then let's just install it at our front door.

Subaru Okiya glanced at the office door again, then leisurely got up and walked outside.

I had only taken a few steps when Conan called.

On one hand, she was inquiring about his situation, and on the other hand... she was relaying the information Jodie had received from Rena Mizunashi.

The organization dispatched a new member with a code name to begin operations outside.

Bourbon.

Judy had already told Conan this news.

But Conan never found an opportunity to tell Subaru Okiya.

Strangely enough, Conan insisted on telling Subaru Okiya in person the message that could have been relayed by phone or email.

Well, after searching for an opportunity all day, Conan finally opted for a phone call.

Upon hearing the news about Bourbon, Subaru Okiya could not help but be moved.

"It's finally appeared...?"

Subaru Okiya put away his phone, his squinting eyes barely opening a crack behind his reflective glasses, a strange sense of excitement rising within him.

Of course, he wasn't excited about Bourbon's appearance.

What excited him was the potential significance behind Bourbon's trip: the organization had no other reliable people to use.

If it were a completely unfamiliar new face, Subaru Okiya would definitely be on high alert right now.

Things seem to have become simpler.

Although it's only relative, this news is still quite encouraging.

Subaru Okiya quickly disappeared outside the police station.

the other side.

Yusuke Suzuki also arrived at the scene of the new bombing in a police car.

His coming here was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

After all, someone had just died here, so he had a chance to test his spiritual abilities.

His original regret about this theatrical version was that no one would die in front of the main characters.

Now, this regret has been made up for.

"Hopefully it's not too late."

As Yusuke Suzuki watched the fire in the apartment being extinguished, he mentally counted down the time.

Reporting a bombing in a downtown area is extremely rapid, with delays not exceeding two minutes.

By now, approximately 43 minutes have passed since the person in the room died.

If the spirit of the deceased has already dissipated, then next time he really can only go on a trip with Kogoro Mouri.

Alternatively, capture a living person, gradually extinguish their life force, and meticulously record the changes in their spirit.

Considering the potential biases, it is estimated that many such experiments would need to be conducted.

Yusuke Suzuki was resistant to this behavior.

While I was thinking, the fire had been completely extinguished.

Inspector Megure immediately issued the order: "Search for clues immediately and find out the cause of the accident!"

Now that he's speaking in front of a public, he'll definitely mention the "accident."

Although he did not believe it was an accident.

Chapter 1021 Spiritual World

Within minutes, firefighters had already moved the body out of the house.

When they were just 50 meters apart, Suzuki Yusuke spotted a light blue color on the corpse.

Judging from intuition, the spirit swirling within the corpse is now probably only about half of its original level.

"Half of it dissipated in 53 minutes."

Yusuke Suzuki roughly made a mental note of it, while trying to communicate with the spirit using a kind of spiritual touch.

The other party responded, but not much.

The distance increases from far to near, and then from near to far.
