Conan: I'm really not the mastermind behind the scenes

When Megure Jusan saw Aoyagi Akimichi, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

Because President Kawai had been living on the fourth floor before he was discharged from the hospital, Kawai Koichi also said that he only realized someone was watching him when he arrived at this floor, and they went straight there as soon as they arrived.

The nurse at the front desk said she didn't notice anything unusual. Kawai Koichi suddenly remembered the accident and the kind-hearted person the day before, so they hurried to ask the bodyguard of the foreign old gentleman.

The old man was from the United States and was a well-known collector of gems and last dynasty art. After some trouble, they finally got the other party's contact information.

When he first heard the name, Megure Jusan hadn't remembered it, but now that he saw the face, he immediately remembered what happened three years ago and was really surprised.

He didn't expect that the foreign music teacher he met by chance three years ago and who once became a suspect was actually an FBI agent.

Takagi Shigeru didn't notice his boss's brainstorming. He looked at Aoyagi Akimichi's obviously foreign appearance, approached his boss and said worriedly: "What should I do, Officer Megure? My English is not very good. Can you communicate with him..."

Before Megure Jusan could say anything, Aoyagi Akimichi had already walked up to them.

He happened to hear what Takagi Wataru said and said politely, "It's okay, I can understand Japanese."

Takagi Shigeru didn't expect him to hear it so clearly, and smiled awkwardly; Megure Jusan said directly to Aoyagi Akimitsu: "We have a few questions for you. Can you come up and talk with us?"

The first floor was crowded and noisy, and it was indeed not a good place to ask questions or take notes. Qing Liu Bingguang nodded: "Of course."

After saying that, he looked at Mao Lilan and gave her a slightly apologetic smile: "Sorry, Miss Mao Li, I have to excuse myself."

"It's okay, Mr. Aoyagi, you go and do your work. I have to go back." Mao Lilan waved her hands repeatedly.

The two policemen led the victim's son and the witness toward the inpatient building. Mao Lilan watched them disappear from view and lowered her head to look for the boy beside her legs:
"Okay, we should go back..."

Mao Lilan found that there was no one around her.

"Conan?!?"

……

Edogawa Conan followed him upstairs.

Unfortunately, he was a step too late. When he arrived by the next elevator, the other four people had disappeared, so he had to move to the nurses' station.

"Hello, I want to ask you something." He raised his head with great effort, "Where did the two police officers who just came up go?"

"In that empty conference room over there."

The nurse at the nurse's station pointed casually, and then she noticed that Edogawa Conan was leaning on crutches. She quickly walked around the nurse's station and squatted in front of him: "Little brother, are you injured? Do you want me to take you back to the ward?"

Edogawa Conan shook his head: "No need."

He remembered the reason why he was worried about following, and took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, nurse sister, do you know President Kawai who used to live in Ward 403 and was discharged a few days ago?"

Hearing the name, the nurse was stunned at first, then sighed: "I know him. I have been responsible for taking care of him this month. I didn't expect that he would be killed just after he was discharged from the hospital."

"Then do you know his son? The one who came with the police just now. Has he come to the hospital to visit his father?" Conan Edogawa asked.

"He..."

The nurse frowned, with a hint of disgust clearly showing on her face, which Edogawa Conan saw clearly.

"That guy is terrible." She complained, "Before the president was discharged from the hospital, he only came to visit a few times, and he always came to ask for money. The president was so angry that he kicked him out."

Edogawa Conan got the point: "You mean they had a fight before? Their relationship is not good?"

"It's very bad. They quarreled very fiercely every time, and other patients and nurses heard it. I was at the door of the ward that day, and I heard the president say that he would rather feed the money to dogs than give it to him." The nurse said, probably realizing that it was not good to shout at the victim's family, so she changed her voice to a low voice: "So, who knows if he is crying because he is really sad or just pretending to be sad. After all, once his father died, all the money was his..."

Edogawa Conan nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, thank you."

He continued to walk forward with his crutches, thinking constantly.

Detectives all have a bit of the "suspiciousness" problem. Once an incident occurs, if people around the victim show signs of being strange, they will keep a close eye on them, thinking that every move of the other party is suspicious.

This is what happened to Kawai Koichi. He was sad in front of the police just now, but he smiled in a place where most people couldn't see him. The nurse also said that they had a bad relationship between father and son...

Moreover, he always felt that the name Kawai Koichi sounded familiar, as if he had seen or heard it somewhere...

Edogawa Conan was completely immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice that a person carrying something walked out of a nearby ward with the door wide open.

He bumped into the other person's thigh and fell to the ground, and the bag in the other person's hand fell down.

"Sorry, sorry, kid, are you okay..."

The next words stopped abruptly.

Edogawa Conan looked up in confusion, only to see a young man with dyed brown hair and several bandages wrapped around his head standing in front of him. He looked at him in astonishment.

That expression was even more surprised than seeing a ghost.

……

Today is the day that Kazuya Miwa is discharged from the hospital.

He packed up early, and then suddenly received news that the police had arrived.

Thinking of his previous contact with the dead president a few days ago, Miwa Kazuya thought that they might come to question him, so he stayed without waiting for the nurse to speak.

Ordinary passers-by are like this: they despise criminals for committing crimes, but they kneel down smoothly when they meet them; they complain about the police for being wishy-washy, but they cooperate honestly when they meet them.

——Look down on everyone and can’t afford to offend anyone.

He waited for about half an hour with the door open, and then he was so bored that he collapsed on the bed again, took out his game console and started playing again. However, Officer Megure didn't come in at all, he just walked past the door and left.

So Sanlunhe didn't wait any longer. He got up quickly, made the bed again, and prepared to leave.

result……

When Miwa Kazuya saw the little boy with glasses who was knocked down by him raised his head, his scalp went numb.

This was probably the first time he had truly come face to face with an important character in Conan after traveling through time for several years.

Kaito doesn't count, because after he met him, he realized that he was a guest star in the next studio; Inspector Megure doesn't count either, because everyone knows that nine out of ten policemen in detective comics are losers...

No matter how small he looks in the animation, the Edogawa Conan in front of him is the size of a normal child.

Miwa Kazuya looked through the lenses at the face that was very similar to his friend's, but much more childish. The unknown fear that surged in his heart inexplicably subsided a little.

He ignored the scattered game cartridges and reached out to help the fake child in front of him up.

"Sorry, are you okay?" (End of this chapter)
