In Detective Conan: My Deskmate Eri Kisaki

Ye Jin interrupted Officer Matsumoto.

Officer Matsumoto didn't pay any attention and turned to look at the other police officers nearby.

"Did you understand? You can start investigating Officer Sato's social connections now."

“All his relatives, close friends, and people he regularly interacted with, as long as they did not have an alibi, were all made suspects.”

"Yes!"

All the police officers ran out.

In the distance, Sato Miwako looked at Ye Jin with teary eyes.

Ye Jin's image was deeply imprinted in his mind.

"By the way, Inspector Megure, could you tell me what case Inspector Sato Masayoshi is investigating lately? Maybe I can find out who the culprit is."

Ye Jin asked.

Chapter 40 Loli Miwako

"This one……"

Inspector Megure hesitated, unsure whether he should tell Ye Jin about it.

After all, this was inside information.

However, Ye Jin often helped them and solved many cases.

And who knows, the case might even be solved today.

“Inspector Megure, you could have told me, and I would have helped you solve the case. I don’t need any fame or fortune anyway. You can just say that the police worked hard to solve the case.”

Ye Jin said in a low voice.

That's a good idea.

Inspector Megure actually agreed with it.

Every time they encounter a murder case, they find it very difficult to solve it, and sometimes they even need the help of detectives, which is very shameful.

If Ye Jin is willing to help secretly, then there will be no need for detectives to intervene in the future.

"Megure, tell him!"

Officer Matsumoto was the first to agree.

He also wanted to solve the case as soon as possible so that his subordinates could rest in peace.

"Yes."

Next, Inspector Megure laid out the whole case.

Everyone was listening.

Even Sato Masayoshi's family members were listening in.

Miwako Sato, in particular, listened very attentively, eager to avenge her father.

After listening, Ye Jin lowered her head and pondered, while recalling the plot.

"By the way, I remember there was video footage of the robbery. Is the video still there?"

"The video is still there; I've already sent someone to retrieve it."

Inspector Megure nodded quickly and said.

Shortly after, a policeman arrived with the video footage.

The group found a place with a television and watched a video from a videotape.

Ye Jin looked at it carefully.

In the video, a masked man is seen shooting a staff member with a rifle.

"This is the staff member who was beaten to death."

Ye Jin thought about the plot and felt that she should have thought of it.

"I've got it!"

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Ye Jin's mind.

"What? You figured it out!"

Everyone gathered around.

Inspector Megure, and Miwako Sato, were the most excited.

Secondly, there's Yukiko.

Yukiko was also planning to ask Ye Jin, but considering there were so many people here, it wasn't convenient to ask.

She didn't want anyone to know that her status as a mystery queen was entirely due to Ye Jin.

"Look at the way this guy is hitting someone, doesn't it look a lot like he's playing baseball?"

Ye Jin pointed to a person in the video.

Others gathered around, frowning.

"Is this a baseball game? It looks a little strange."

"Yeah, no normal person would play baseball like that."

Those present were beginning to have doubts.

“That’s right. Normal people don’t play baseball, but if that’s why Officer Sato recognized you.”

Ye Jin's lips curled up slightly.

Officer Matsumoto said with a serious expression, "You mean this person often plays baseball with Officer Sato, so Officer Sato recognized him at a glance?"

Heavens above, earth below!

Finally, someone smart has appeared!

“I remember now, Officer Sato plays baseball a lot and has many baseball friends.”

A police officer suddenly spoke.

Sato Shinobu stepped forward and said, "That's right, I remember now. My husband does like playing baseball with some people."

"So, the killer is very likely a friend of Inspector Sato, and the one who wields the bat is rather strange."

Inspector Megure muttered to himself.

"Megure, go investigate now, find Inspector Sato's friends, and find out about their bat swings."

"Yes."

Inspector Megure immediately went to investigate.

"Let's rest here for a bit and order some takeout. Everyone should eat something."

Ye Jin made the suggestion.

Officer Matsumoto didn't refuse; everyone had worked so hard and definitely deserved a rest.

Fortunately, they already knew some important clues.

……

About an hour later, Inspector Megure returned, accompanied by another person.

"Officer Matsumoto, we've investigated and confirmed that this is indeed the person who did it. We've also recovered the stolen money."

All the police officers present were delighted.

Sato Shinobu looked at the person who walked in with some surprise.

"It was you? Why did you kill my husband!"

Clearly, these two people know each other.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t intend to kill him. He found me first and took me to turn myself in.”

“At that time, I walked to the side of the road in a daze. Thinking that I would spend the next few decades in prison, I had suicidal thoughts.”

"But I never expected that Sato would actually save me and even push me aside."

As the murderer spoke, he knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, sobbing uncontrollably.

……

Around 10 o'clock, all the formalities were completed and the statement was taken.

The entrance to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Ye Jin, thank you so much this time for helping us solve such a complicated case."

Inspector Megure expressed his gratitude.

"No, I didn't break it, you broke it yourself, but I have nothing to do with it."

"By the way, it's already so dark, and there don't seem to be any cars outside. Are you planning to make us walk back?"

Ye Jin looked at the sky outside.

It was pitch black and raining heavily.

If we walk back like this, we'll definitely get soaked.

Inspector Megure had already realized what was happening and awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

"I'm so sorry, I'll drive you there right now."

"and many more!"

In the distance, Sato Miwako quickly ran over and grabbed Ye Jin's clothes.

"What's wrong, little sister? Is there something you need?"

Ye Jin bent down, revealing a kind smile.

"Big brother, thank you for helping my father find the murderer."
