As it turned out, the investigation uncovered something.

Just a week before Tamaki Nino's death, someone witnessed Tamaki Nino arguing with a purple-haired youth.

Sato Miwako and her friends followed suit and finally caught the two of them meeting again.

They were completely dumbfounded when they arrived.

Because that purple-haired youth was none other than Director Odagiri's only son!

The fact that the son of the head of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division and Superintendent was involved in a murder case left them unsure how to handle the situation.

However, Inspector Yu-cheng stated that even if the other party has a powerful background, they still need to be investigated.

While they were investigating, Inspector Yusei suffered a heart attack due to the summer heat and strenuous exercise, but he insisted that Sato and the others continue the investigation while he went to the hospital.

Then he died.

The subsequent investigation yielded no results; the purple-haired youth was a suspect but there was no evidence, and the case remained unresolved with the original verdict upheld.

Whether it was because of Inspector Tomonari's death or some other reason, Tamaki Nino didn't cause any more trouble afterward.

This reopening of the investigation was not Sato Miwako's own idea, but rather something that Chief Odagiri instructed her to do privately.

Besides her, several other detectives who were involved in the case at the time also got involved this time, including Officer Qingtian, who had already been killed.

It would be impossible for Sato Miwako not to have any suspicions.

However, she cannot make a definitive judgment at the moment, and since it involves Director Odagiri's son, she is currently conducting a secret investigation herself, so she still cannot reveal it to Wataru Takagi.

"I hope it's not the worst outcome... otherwise, the credibility that Higashino-kun worked so hard to restore for the police will collapse once again."

"Moreover, this collapse will ruin our police force, make us lose the trust of the public, and forever be trampled underfoot by detectives."

Sato Miwako's expression was solemn.

at the same time.

A black Toyota was wobbling along the road.

"Shake it! Everyone shake it!"

"Be energetic! Be passionate!"

The background music is "Payphone," hummed by Higashino Ning himself.

No one stipulates that police officers must be lifeless when handling cases.

Besides, as long as they don't say anything, no one will know that they are police officers on their way to investigate a case.

At first, Wataru Takagi and Kazunobu Chiba were quite reserved, but they gradually started to move around with each other.

The head-shaking and swaying movements are simple and easy to learn.

Three police officers DJing online.

The Ministry of Transport's "tiger" also quietly drove up to the side.

"Higashino-kun, what happened that you guys are so happy about? Stop the car right now!!!"

Chapter 153 President Ke is about to be discharged from the hospital

What the hell!

When did Yumi touch me?!

I was so focused on setting the pace that I forgot to check the rearview mirror!

Higashino Ning tilted his head to the side and slammed on the gas, leaving Miyamoto Yumi's police car far behind.

The passenger in the passenger seat, Wataru Takagi, looked astonished. "Higashino, you...you've gone mad! Yumi will probably hold a grudge against you for the entire next time we meet!"

Higashino Ning blinked in confusion. "Yumi? What Yumi? Where is she?"

He instinctively glanced around and then at the rearview mirror, before snapping his eyes away as if electrocuted and accelerating again.

Takagi Wataru grabbed the armrest, "You were just running away, weren't you?!"

"Hey, don't worry about it. Yumi isn't chasing anymore. Don't worry, it's steady!" Higashino Ning slowed down and entered the bend, completely disappearing from Miyamoto Yumi's sight.

...

Around 10 o'clock, Higashino Ning and the other two officially arrived at their destination.

The investigation and questioning were their old skills. The three of them split up and agreed to have lunch together again at noon.

[A case has been solved within the jurisdiction; the host accumulated 17 reward points yesterday.]

Wow, I got reward points again, and even more than last time!

Higashino Ning glanced at his reward points balance and threw all the points over 20 into Jeet Kune Do, hoping to reach the 4th level Master achievement as soon as possible.

He discovered that guns were not frequently used in the Ke Xue case; most of the cases involved hand-to-hand combat.

Once Jeet Kune Do reaches level 4, Higashino Ning will start buying and upgrading skills such as [Sniping], [Sniping Mastery], and [Aircraft Piloting].

Actually, if we're talking about the most useful skill, it has to be reasoning.

However, since acquiring this skill, Higashino Ning has never felt too much pressure in cases. The skill is also very easy to upgrade on its own, so he decided not to level it up yet.

Higashino Ning's own reasoning skills are already at level 3 with 52% proficiency.

"48 reward points to instantly level up to level 4...that doesn't seem like a bad idea."

"Never mind, let's do it next time."

"By the way, my beloved concubine, please tell me the reward points you earned the previous day every morning when you wake up."

【I understand.】

My beloved concubine is at her aloof and dignified self again today.

Higashino Ning stopped worrying about how to use the reward points and officially began the questioning and investigation.

Today, his target for questioning is the deceased's colleague.

The number of police officers in the district police station is not large. Officer Aota is the highest-ranking officer in this police station because he was transferred from the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters.

When asked about their boss's performance at work, the police officers could give a detailed account, but when asked about Officer Qingtian's whereabouts after get off work, they were completely at a loss.

It can only be said that Higashino Ning's thinking was a bit idealistic.

As he walked out of the police station, he looked up at the sky.

"If only we could confirm that this is a movie-themed case, we wouldn't have to waste time and effort now; it would be resolved on its own in time."

Higashino Ning squatted down and tried hard to think, but the image in his mind was always Xiao Hei with a sniper scope.

Here it comes again, the sniper from another dimension! This little black guy also appeared when he was recalling the plot yesterday!

"Higashino, are you that hungry?"

At that moment, Wataru Takagi and Kazunobu Chiba returned.

Higashino Ning shook his head and stood up. "How's the investigation going?"

Takagi Wataru sighed, "We couldn't find him. Apparently, he went out on business. We only communicated by phone for a short while, and he said he had no clue and lacked other information."

Kazunobu Chiba said that he was in the same situation, "I didn't expect my colleagues at the branch office to be so busy all the time. Come to think of it, we've actually been a bit free these past few days."

If it weren't for Mr. Ke lying in the hospital, would we be so relaxed?

Higashino Ning clicked his tongue twice. "Alright, that's enough for this morning. Let's go eat."

...

the other side.

Mihua General Hospital.

Conan lay on the hospital bed, his body itching all over.

He had to admit that he wasn't a docile person.

Lying in the hospital during this period has felt like an eternity; every day has been torture.

"Discharged, discharged, discharged! I really want to be discharged soon!"

Conan wanted to do something more vigorous to relieve his emotions, but the slight pain from his wound prevented him from doing so.

The more restricted his movements were, the more agitated he became.

But all the anxiety vanished the moment the ward door was pushed open.

Ran Mouri stood at the door with a thermos in hand, a faint smile on her face.

Until everything settles down and the truth comes out, she will continue to treat Conan the same way she always has.

If Conan and Shinichi Kudo are not the same person at all, then Conan would feel very wronged for taking the blame for Shinichi and suffering her complaints.

If they are the same person... then now that Shinichi has been shot, she should take good care of him. It's not too late to talk about everything after he recovers.

"Conan, you must be hungry by now, right?"

Ran Mouri spoke softly, opening the lid of the thermos as she said, "I was on the phone with Sonoko for a long time this morning, so I was a little late going out to buy groceries. Sorry."

Conan quickly shook his head, "No, I just started feeling hungry."

To be honest, Ran Mouri's current attitude is a bit hard for him to understand.

But his guilt continued to grow.

From every angle, Ran Mouri is a very good girl. Considering what Ai Haibara said to him before she was injured, Conan thinks it's really awful to keep it from her like this.

However, overcoming that mental hurdle is not as easy as one might imagine.

He prefers to frankly tell the truth when he is about to be exposed.

This is an instinctive avoidance reaction. Logically, Conan should understand this, but he subconsciously doesn't want to analyze it.

The lunch was very nutritious and plentiful, and it was all Conan's favorite foods.
