Conan's Helping People

The minor said calmly: "Thank you."

It seemed that Matsuda Jinpei had not heard that Matsuda Jinpei had deliberately made his tone a little harsher, nor that this was actually not a statement, but a rhetorical question.

Matsuda Jinpei was speechless again and glanced at him.

Memu Thirteen, who was next to him, sniffed the air and looked at them carefully, "...I'm going to ask for a confession."

Just as we arrived near the reading area, we could already see the busy police officers in our field of vision. Mu Mu Shisan quickly walked a few steps, leaving an educational space for "adults to teach children."

There is no way, Kudo Yusaku is a very good mystery writer, a very good detective, and a very good husband, but few people know that he is also a very good father.

Excellent is excellent in the way he educates children. He will never point out directly, "This is wrong, you are wrong." Nor will he directly despise children and say perfunctorily, "You are a child and you don't know anything right now."

You know, you'll understand when you grow up'.

Instead, sort out the facts again, let the children realize that they are wrong, and then take the initiative to change them.

Kudo Yusaku has been asked to solve so many cases. Of course Megure Thirteen has encountered this kind of educational situation many times, and he is very familiar with this feeling.

Thinking again, this underage detective had just been attacked, and the attacker was injured on the back of the head... Matsuda is still a bit strict, but the routine of educating children is indeed the same, first praise and then criticize slightly.

While secretly thinking that he had 'learned', he walked out quickly and quickly integrated into the scene.

Matsuda Jinpei also looked around the scene.

The place where the deceased was found was surrounded by pulling wires and covered with a white cloth. There was no treatment for the time being, waiting for the forensic doctor to come.

Several plainclothes police officers who came in with him had never been in contact with this area, so they were gathered together to record statements, while several other suspects were being questioned individually.

Including the man in the knitted hat who looked very evil and had a distinct smell of a criminal.

No one paid attention to them for the time being. Matsuda Jinpei estimated the waiting time for the interrogation and decided to deal with the matter at hand first.

He leaned against the bookshelf and went straight in, "Before you were attacked, did you know that the man wanted to attack you?"

It was a bit too obvious to stare directly into the minor's eyes to see if he was actively looking at him, so he did not turn his head to look at the minor, but stared at the busy scene in front of him.

A few seconds later, a minor's calm voice sounded in my ears, "I don't know."

Okay, it cannot be verified. This problem can be temporarily closed.

Matsuda Jinpei said, "Then please pay attention to safety. If another murder is discovered in the future, never act alone before the police arrive at the scene."

"Do not act alone after police officers arrive."

After saying that, he paused, then naturally tilted his head and added gently, "I ask you not to be alone, not because you have done anything wrong."

"You did absolutely nothing wrong in this matter."

"It's just that many criminals also have some tendencies when they act, and their targets are mostly girls and children."

The minor also looked over with a calm expression and only blinked to show that he was listening carefully.

"Even if the premise is that you deliberately left alone." Matsuda Jinpei emphasized again.

Judging from the expression, the minor's expression has not changed at all. It is still very calm. It is not a cold expressionless face, but a calm expression after the face is naturally relaxed.

But this does not mean that there are no objections.

"However, the weak are themselves at fault." The minor also considered his tone and said in a tolerant tone of 'making a small mistake', "That's what everyone said."

"The fault itself is the criminal who committed the crime." Matsuda Jinpei corrected him immediately and frowned again, "Who are you? Who is telling you this view?!"

After receiving a firm negative response, the minor was obviously stunned and immediately looked away without answering.

There was no need to get an answer at all. Matsuda Jinpei already had a hunch. He considered his tone again and made it gentler and more equal.

"Is it the nurse from the hospital?"

After saying these words, the minor's expression changed slightly. It was not rejection or vigilance, but a subtle expression.

Fortunately, it's not attachment or depression.

Matsuda Jinpei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When the minor remained silent and did not speak, he continued to pretend to be casual, "I saw the news before."

"I didn't expect that the nurse lady looked so gentle on the surface, but she was actually the real culprit in several cases. The children who were killed..."

Previously, Matsuda Jinpei was puzzled by the attitude of minors towards children. He spoke slowly while carefully observing the expressions of minors.

The minor did not turn his gaze back, lowered his eyes and gave a plain response, "Well, I was nearby when she committed suicide."

This sentence is very plain and there is nothing wrong with it.

Matsuda Jinpei conducted a thorough psychoanalysis, but he didn't hear any regret, but he also didn't hear any disgust. The other party really just stated the facts without any emotion of his own.

He paused and continued to speak in a casual tone, "By the way, you were very handsome in Nagano Prefecture before. I saw the newspaper. You solved two cases in one go, and the police were praising you."

The other party was suspiciously silent for a moment, then slowly repeated, "Newspaper?"

"Yes, the newspaper in Nagano Prefecture, because you are from Tokyo, and some reporters found out it was you before, so they reprinted the report." Matsuda Jinpei vaguely explained the live news broadcast, and immediately continued to pretend to be casual.

"It seems that not long after the report, the nurse was arrested in Nagano Prefecture."

When it was time for Hinata to leave Tokyo, the nurse took leave and committed suicide in Nagano Prefecture not long after.

Is this matter related to Hinata's rationality?

The nurse lady did have some feelings for Hinata. Jinpei Matsuda had experienced it personally and confirmed this kind of thing. At that time, he thought it was a relationship between a man and a woman.

But after the other party committed suicide, he studied the several cases of children on the other party, and carefully recalled the other party's reasonable attitude towards Hinata, plus Hinata's reasonable age...

Although, the victims in those cases were all under the age of twelve.

However, their characteristics are all obvious. There are photos of them in the appendix in the document bag. They are all obviously immature children.

From the outside, Hinata does not fit this characteristic.

But other aspects of him fit the bill.

As long as they get along with each other briefly, a keen person can immediately grasp his characteristics: in some aspects, he himself and the normal world have a subtle illusion.

The world of children and the world of adults are two completely different worlds.

Hinata has the temperament of a "child living in the adult world". In some aspects, he is particularly unfamiliar, such as interpersonal communication.

How obvious is this immature, "I'm a human for the first time, I'm still not familiar with it after only one month, please give me some advice" kind of temperament?

Most of the police officers, when mentioning Hinata Reason behind his back, would naturally call him a kid...even the police officers who had just graduated from the police academy and were only five or six years older than Hinata Reason.

Heck, this is one of the reasons why Matsuda Jinpei quickly called him "Little Hinata" at the beginning.

He glanced at the child.

The other party was still organizing his words, but when he noticed that he was urging him with his eyes, he said slowly: "Yes, I've been away from Tokyo for too long, I forgot."

Then he immediately asked, "Why did you bring this up?"

Matsuda Jinping said concisely and to the point, "I want to know if you have met him before."

"If you mean the nurse," the minor thought for a moment, without turning his head to look at her, "I have never met her."

We have chased her all the way to Nagano Prefecture, is it reasonable that the nurse lady didn't find Hinata?

Matsuda Jinpei was a little surprised, but he quickly came to his senses.

Although the other party did not find Hinata Reasonable, Hinata Reasonable might have found the other party, so the other party was surrounded by the police.

Possible, just possible, not certain.

"It's good that we didn't encounter it." He nodded casually, without going into details, but directly brought up the topic and returned to today's matter again.

"Are you still nervous now? Don't worry, when the first responders arrived, the man was still conscious...what exactly did you say?"

The minor immediately responded sincerely: "I asked him if he needed help, but he ignored me. I thought he was dead."

It sounded quite sincere, and he didn't actively seek to make eye contact.

Matsuda Jinpei nodded and said casually: "Didn't you feel your heartbeat to confirm?"

When he confirmed it, the wounded man's heartbeat was very fast... I don't know what Hinata said exactly, but there is no need to delve into it.

"Confirm?" The minor fell into deep thought. After a while, he said with some uncertainty, "I thought that as long as they didn't lose consciousness and completely turned into... corpses, humans would definitely cry out for help?"

Huh? This idea...

That's not wrong. Normal humans will definitely call for help, but there are also special circumstances.

Matsuda Jinpei thought for a while, "That's true."

He patted the minor's shoulder and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, come on, answer the question at the beginning again."

"Before you were attacked, did you realize that the other party would attack you, or did you realize that the other party was a bomber?"

He laughed and said, "Don't lie, answer seriously."

"Otherwise, Officer Matsuda will record you on the list of 'disobedient children'!"

After finishing speaking, the minor raised his eyes and gave him a "stupid look".

Matsuda Jinpei's smile did not change, he raised his hand and rubbed the other person's hair, forcibly stopping the other person's provocation.

The other party reluctantly replied, "But, you have already preset the answer."

"You think I did it on purpose. If I say I did it unintentionally, then I will be on the list. If I say I did it on purpose, then it violates the principle of staying away as you mentioned, and I will also be on the list."

He actually didn’t complain, ‘What the hell is this list?’ The suspect had a good attitude!

Matsuda Jinpei immediately reminded the other party, "You are wrong. Even if you did not do it unintentionally, you have violated my previous instructions."

"Note, what I said before was to stay away from everyone."

In view of the other party's good attitude, he said generously: "But when I said it, I didn't think you would do it, so this can be written off."

It was because he felt that Hinata could never stay away from criminals if he was reasonable, so he gave special instructions and followed up as soon as he heard any unusual movement.

Already prepared.

The minor lowered his eyes and put on an innocent expression again.

Matsuda Jinpei was immediately prepared to be perfunctory.

However, the other party did not immediately give a perfunctory answer. Instead, he confirmed again, "Do you really want to know the answer to Officer Matsuda?"

This tone...

Matsuda Jinpei immediately responded in the affirmative, "Of course!"

After he answered enthusiastically, the minor did not speak immediately, but waited for another five or six seconds before raising his eyes and asking again doubtfully: "Do you really want to know?"

"?" Matsuda Jinping paused and answered in the affirmative again, "Of course I want to know!"

"Hinata-chan, can you answer me seriously?"

"Of course I can answer you seriously," the other party replied in the affirmative and emphasized again, "As long as you really want to know."

They stared at each other for a few seconds.

Matsuda Jinpei tried to push up his sunglasses and found that he was not wearing them today, so he took his hand back as if nothing had happened and continued to give a positive answer, "Of course, I want to know."

The third affirmative answer.

The minor still didn't answer, but stared at him quietly.

After looking at him for another two or three seconds, the minor said, "No, you don't want to know."

…?

Matsuda Jinpei immediately denied the reason, "No, I want to know."

The minor immediately said seriously: "If you want to know, you can ask me."

???

Haven't you asked the question several times?

Matsuda Jinpei was confused for a moment, but he temporarily took off the question mark on his curly hair and asked seriously: "Excuse me, did you know in advance that there was something wrong with the wounded person?"

Under his serious questioning, the minor also looked at him seriously.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, the minor became a little angry and said, "You don't want to know at all."

…

Who should be angry?

The one who was obviously being treated like a stupid dog was not angry at all!

"..." Matsuda Jinpei was silent for a moment and said tentatively, "Then I don't want to know?"

This is not the correct answer either, and the minor is obviously even more unhappy.

"Then I want to know?" Matsuda Jinpei asked tentatively again.

The minor said: "If you want to know, you can be sincere. I will answer you immediately after I receive the signal."

The other party didn't seem to be playing dumb canine, and continued to explain seriously, "Just like you heard the noise before and were worried about my safety, I received the signal."

…

Okay, I don’t understand.

Matsuda Jinpei thought for a moment and said firmly: "I want to know."

While he answered firmly, the other party also looked over with bright eyes.

Then, those eyes went out.

"You don't want to know at all." The minor turned his head in disgust and made a perfunctory voice, "Yes."

Um?

Before Matsuda Jinpei could react, the other party repeated again, "Yes."

"I did it on purpose."

"I knew he was watching me with the camera, I knew he was a bomber, and I knew he was going to attack me suddenly from behind."

…

How can you be so honest?!

In fact, Matsuda Jinpei didn't intend to get this answer at all. He just asked for confirmation like a normal human offering cat food.

He has even prepared how to beat the other party when he gets a negative answer.

I didn't expect the other party to be so honest.

It was like a human who usually only got punches and kicks from cats, but suddenly got the gentle nuzzling from his own cats. Matsuda Jinpei was surprised and doubted his life again.

‘There seems to be something wrong with this world, am I dreaming.jpg’

The conversation just now is definitely the key point. What happened when he didn't know it?!

He remained blankly silent for too long. The minor had already restrained his disgusted expression, turned his head back as if nothing had happened, and stated the facts, "Now, there are many police officers around...you are also by my side to protect me."

"You think I'm safe," the other party asked, "So, do you think I'm safe?"

When he asked this question, the other person seemed to be expecting it, and his eyes were a little bright, but he didn't ask him before if he really wanted to know Shi Liang.

Matsuda Jinpei slowly suppressed his thoughts and answered sincerely: "I don't think so."

Being able to jump around is Hinata's greatest insecurity.

As long as you can jump around, you can stare at criminals with bright eyes, and you can immediately take advantage of your appearance to make criminals also stare at you, and then start running in both directions.

...it’s really unsafe!

Hinata is reasonable: "..."

Those eyes went out again, and the other party looked away in disgust, "Bang."

……whispering sound???
