"Where are the others?" Higashino Ning asked, turning his gaze away.

The police officers who were nearby immediately responded, "Both of them have regained consciousness and are resting in our car."

Higashino Ning nodded, "It's good that you're alright. Don't drive this car anymore. Arrange for someone to come and collect the body as quickly as possible. The temperature is low now, and it will be difficult to move the body once it has completely stiffened."

"Yes, sir!" The policeman acknowledged the order and ran off to make a phone call to call for backup.

Just as Higashino Ning was about to call Inspector Megure to report the situation, someone suddenly ran out of another police car not far ahead.

He looked closely and realized it was Nagasawa Yuki!

Ok?

Why are you here?

Before he could even ask, Nagasawa Yuki came running over with tears streaming down her face.

I don't know who the little girl learned to dribble and charge, but she rushed into Higashino Ning's arms right away, her voice trembling with tears.

"Officer Higashino, you never told me that dead people could be so terrifying...!"

Chapter 124 You really are an identity card

ha?

When have we ever talked about anyone dying?

We've barely talked at all!

Higashino Ning assumed a surrender gesture and stepped back, while Nagasawa Yuki followed and continued walking forward.

The police officers standing nearby all looked on with envy.

Good, good, good, you've achieved success in both your career and love life, right? Your luck has truly come and you can't stop it?

They couldn't even imagine how fragrant Yuki Nagasawa must smell!

Takagi Wataru was so shocked that his scalp tingled.

What's going on!

You're a lifelong single guy, a close comrade-in-arms, and now you're hugging a sweet and soft girl?!

Seeing that Nagasawa Yuki didn't realize he was refusing physical contact, Higashino Ning stood still and pushed her away with his hands while asking her a question.

Why are you here? Do you remember the specific details of what happened?

Yuki Nagasawa's eyes were red, which made people feel sorry for her.

She wiped away her tears, "All I know is that I was driving and suddenly felt very dizzy and sleepy. When I woke up, I saw a corpse and a lot of blood."

"And then...and then..."

Yuki Nagasawa spoke haltingly, her words tumbling out in a slurred manner. “I came here because I had nothing to do today, and I suddenly had the urge to come and check it out.”

She whimpered for a moment, then turned her head away shyly, "Because I wanted to try and see if I could transfer to the Investigation Division..."

Higashino Ning coughed lightly twice and then silently took two steps back.

Sister, you're late.

Brother already has someone in his heart!

It's not that you're not charming enough, sister, it's just that your heart is too narrow and can't accommodate too many people.

When Nagasawa Yuki looked up again, she realized that the distance between her and Higashino Ning had increased significantly.

She bit her lip, her eyes shifting from confusion to hesitation and then to resolve.

Bend down and bow.

"alright, I got it."

Nagasawa Yuki turned around and said, "Then I'll go home first. I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

After saying that, she started walking away.

It's well past closing time now, so she can leave whenever she wants.

The others wanted to stop her or see her off, but Nagasawa Yuki was determined to leave, and they couldn't get away right now.

Other people can leave work on the same day, but they can't.

Although we don't know what kind of past exists between Inspector Higashino and Inspector Nagasawa... Inspector Higashino is really amazing.

If a girl of this caliber can refuse without hesitation, how else could she achieve great things?

After watching Yuki Nagasawa disappear around the street corner, Ningya Higashino also decided to lead his team away.

Kenzo Masuyama is already dead, so there's no point in him staying here any longer.

But the others began to work, stepping forward to report information.

And the very first card he played was a royal flush.

When they arrived, there were no footprints next to the police car, and sweeping away the snow revealed no trace of footprints underneath.

If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have immediately claimed it was suicide in their initial report.

After hearing this, Dongye Ning's brows furrowed so deeply they looked like a twisted rope.

He doesn't believe it was suicide!

And now you're telling me there were no footprints next to the car?

Without footprints, no one would approach; and if no one approached, it could only be suicide. After all, Kenzo Masuyama was holding a gun himself, and he was shot diagonally upwards in the chin.

But this isn’t right either.

Higashino Ning ran to the car again and looked inside.

Logically, Vermouth should have been inside the venue who sent a message to Gin outside, giving him the opportunity to tamper with the police car beforehand, and then handing Pisco's pistol to Gin.

Once Pisco was being escorted away, Gin followed, stopped the car, killed Pisco, and staged a suicide.

The fact that there were "no footprints" completely overturned this expectation.

From the perspective of suicide, Pisco shouldn't have had a gun, and he had no reason to drug someone before committing suicide.

Higashino Ning's furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and he turned his gaze to the street.

Yuki Nagasawa...you really are a pawn!

If you replace Yuki Nagasawa with Vermouth, everything makes sense.

Now here's the question.

Does Vermouth already know that Ai Haibara is Sherry?

Higashino Ning is more inclined to say he doesn't know.

Because when Ai Haibara and Yuki Nagasawa were talking about the Great Revolution, the loli feeling was not triggered, and Ai Haibara never met Yuki Nagasawa again afterward.

Vermouth must have replaced Nagasawa Yuki after that.

What about the original Nagasawa Yuki?

Could he have already passed away?

"Officer Higashino?"

"Have you thought of something?"

Hearing the sound, Higashino Ning stopped thinking. "Hmm... everything here fits the scenario of suicide. Although there are still some points that are unclear, it's safe to say that no one else has been here."

"So let's close the case as a suicide. You can go home and rest after you've disposed of the body and the car. Thank you all for your hard work today."

Higashino Ning called for Takagi Wataru to follow, "Officer Takagi and I are going back to the hotel to see Inspector Megure, so we'll be leaving now."

Come and go in a hurry.

When he returned to the hotel, he was shocked to find that Inspector Megure, at Conan's instigation, was questioning Chris Vineyard!

It was obvious that Inspector Megure had no idea what to ask; Conan was just prompting him, saying one thing and then asking another.

Higashino Ning thought to himself, "Vermouth's movement speed is just too fast."

He moved closer.

An impatient Vermouth slammed her hand on the table after answering the next question and shouted in English, "Enough! I've had enough of these stupid and boring questions from you police!"

"I'll say it one last time: I didn't know the venue was going to be sealed off. I went out the back door and no one stopped me, so I left first!"

"Do you really need to know every detail of when I go to the bathroom? Then why don't you just follow me next time I go to the toilet and watch me!"

Vermouth's chest heaved violently, and she looked extremely angry.

She glanced at Inspector Megure, then turned away abruptly. "I'm an actress active in the American entertainment industry, and I have absolutely no connection with that so-called senator. If you continue to spread rumors, don't blame me for suing you!"

No one could stop Vermouth from leaving.

Besides, Inspector Megure never intended to stop him in the first place.

Anyway, he didn't think the big star had any motive for murder, and the other party's explanation was completely plausible.

Since the person in question didn't understand Japanese, was unaware that the area was under lockdown, and no one stopped her, she naturally left as she pleased.

Moreover, the other party is a foreign guest from the United States, and a very popular celebrity, so they are not to be trifled with.

Conan was also at a loss.

He's feeling really down right now.

Kenzo Masuyama committed suicide!

Before we could ask anything, he was gone.

So what exactly is he trying to achieve by going through all this trouble?

No, it's not like we gained nothing at all.

Shigehiko Tobuchi, who was supposed to die, survived, but one of the organization members died, and a new organization member's face was unlocked.
