Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 541 Suspect Shimizu Koji

Yukiko was fooled by an excuse that Kisaki Eri made up, but only Yukiko herself knew whether she was really fooled.

Ten minutes later, the police arrived. After all, it was in Beika-cho, and in Teitan, not far away. The person who came was the old acquaintance, Inspector Megure.

When Inspector Megure arrived at the scene, he saw Kudo Shinichi, Hattori Heiji, Conan, Mori Kogoro, Yukiko and Kisaki Eri, and his originally relaxed mood suddenly became tense.

After all, each of them is his dear brother, and each of them is a good helper who contributes to his political achievements.

"Brother Kudo, Brother Hattori, Brother Mori, what is the situation now?"

After a simple greeting, Inspector Megure got into the act. With a wave of his hand, a group of forensic police officers rushed over and surrounded the body. The drinks were naturally taken away for testing, and it would probably not take long to get the results.

In response to Inspector Megure's questions, Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji both frowned. Even Mouri Kogoro, who was always very enthusiastic towards Inspector Megure, did not immediately go up to greet him with a smile today.

"Well, I'm afraid we still have to wait for the test results to come out first."

Kogoro Mori said hesitantly that he naturally knew what Kudo Shinichi knew. Although there was a big age and seniority gap between him and Shimizu Koji, Kogoro Mori had already regarded Shimizu Koji as his own in his heart. Therefore, he did not believe that Shimizu Koji would poison and kill someone, although all signs indicated that Shimizu Koji was definitely related to this case.

Even, there are very good motives for murder.
"Is there any need to look at this? The murderer must be that brat. Mr. Detective, are you guys covering up for that guy?!"

But Noda Yumemi couldn't stand it anymore. After the shock just now, she calmed down and just wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible. Being interrogated over and over again made anyone feel a little irritated.

"Mengmei, calm down--" Mitani Yota beside her hurriedly advised her, but unfortunately it was of no avail.

Officer Megure's attention was also drawn to him. He felt something was wrong. When he heard what Noda Yumemi said, he suddenly became curious, "Oh? Who is that little brat you're talking about?"

"That's it - huh? Why is he gone?" Noda Yumemi was about to point out Shimizu Koji, but when she turned around, she found that Shimizu Koji was gone, and with him, Mai Hongue was also missing.

However, she didn't realize it, she just couldn't find Koji Shimizu.

This only made her more determined. She frowned and said to Officer Megure, "It was the student-like boy just now. He is the boyfriend of this girl. He was here just now."

? ?
Kazuha, who was pointed at by Noda Yume, almost suffocated for a moment. Facing the gazes of countless eyes present, especially those of Xiaolan, Sonoko, and Hattori Heiji, her pretty face flushed and she subconsciously retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing this, Noda Yume was quite unreasonable and refuted loudly, "Am I wrong?! Wasn't it your boyfriend who was angry because you were hit on that he asked you to exchange drinks with Urata? The poison must have been given at that time! Otherwise, where is your boyfriend? I think he has probably fled!"

Noda Yumemi's reaction cannot be said to be excessive. It can only be said to be a normal reaction. Her attitude was a little excited. After all, from her point of view, it was indeed the fact. Therefore, He Ye blushed, but could not continue to refute anything.

"He Ye, um, your boyfriend?"

Sonoko and Xiaolan didn't care much about what Noda Yumemi said. They were subconsciously concerned about this issue, and this issue was also the issue that everyone else was concerned about, except for Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji who were relatively informed.

"Ms. Heye, I didn't expect to meet you here." Inspector Megure walked out with a serious expression. Kogoro Mouri subconsciously wanted to pull him, but he was still a step too late.

Inspector Megure couldn't help but glance at Hattori Heiji next to him, and then silently retracted his gaze. He had a bad feeling in his heart, but due to his identity as police inspector, he had to say a few words.

"Ms. Heye, may I ask who your boyfriend is and where he is now?" "No, no, it's a misunderstanding, Officer Megure—"

"Misunderstanding?! Haha, you are not trying to cover up for your boyfriend, are you? I heard him say with my own ears that you are his girlfriend. How can there be any misunderstanding? Mitani-san, you should be able to testify as well!"

Yota Mitani didn't expect that Yumemi Noda would be in such a bad mood, but he still nodded. After all, seeing is believing.

"Da da da"

The sound of footsteps just broke the brief silence. Noda Yumemi turned around and saw Shimizu Koji coming in. She immediately pointed and said, "It's him, Mr. Police Officer!"

Koji Shimizu didn't know what was happening here. He just vaguely heard something about boyfriend. When he came closer, he found that Kazuya was surrounded with a red face.

He went to talk to Hong Shang Mai. After all, for him, solving a case did not require evidence, and the nervousness shown by Hong Shang Mai at that time was the best evidence.

And the result is very simple. He intends to protect Hong Shangwuyi and the criminal in this case, and he doesn't even intend to give face to the detectives present.

"Officer Megure."

Koji Shimizu nodded and greeted first. Inspector Megure was stunned for a moment and then quickly responded.

Inspector Megure and Koji Shimizu are acquaintances, but every time they meet, Inspector Megure can feel more and more the invisible pressure that Koji Shimizu brings to him.

He didn't know where this pressure came from, but it was just an intuition.

Noda Yumemi saw all this and was a little surprised. For a moment, her attitude was not so excited. She was not a fool. Of course, she could see that the highest-ranking police officer on the scene seemed to be an acquaintance of the suspect she identified.
Japan has never had much rule of law. The more you work in society, the deeper your understanding of this truth will naturally become.

"Brother Qingshui"

Officer Megure looked back and forth between him and Kazuha, his eyes unable to conceal the strangeness, "According to what Ms. Noda said, brother Shimizu, you seem to be the only suspect who has the opportunity and motive to kill."

"Well, I admit that this point cannot be refuted. I did let He Ye exchange drinks with the deceased, but I was definitely not the one who poisoned him."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes lit up and he perked up. He took out his little notebook, ready to appreciate the performance of his brother Shimizu. Everyone else thought the same, even though Sonoko and Ran were still in a strange mood.

However, Shimizu Koji did not show as much power as they thought.

"I'm sorry, I can't prove my innocence, so, Officer Megure, please take me back to the police station." Shimizu Koji smiled and spread his hands, and the faces of the people present changed.

Inspector Megure is a veteran police inspector, but he still reacted the fastest. "Hey, brother Shimizu, are you kidding me? Besides, innocent until proven guilty, we can't just arrest people without evidence."

Inspector Megure smiled awkwardly, but Shimizu Koji couldn't help but smile. Why didn't you be so law-abiding before? If he remembered correctly, didn't Inspector Megure in the past just wave his hand and say "Please come with us?"
Then, detectives like Kogoro Mori would appear and say something like "please wait a moment". Although Koji Shimizu didn't follow Kogoro Mori often, he had seen many such scenes.

"No, in order to resolve this incident as quickly as possible, I think I should go with Officer Megure. It's not good to leave the body here. The dead are the most important. Let him rest in peace first."
