Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 542

"Amuro Tooru didn't even go over there to check on his men. He really has a lot of patience."

"He's definitely got the makings of a secret agent."

Kitahara Natsuyu looked at Amuro Tooru, whose expression was normal and who had not asked for leave, and thought to himself.

He had overheard the entire conversation between Amuro Tooru and Kazami Yuya. He thought Amuro Tooru would go check on his underlings, but he didn't expect him to be so heartless as to not go at all and wait for Conan and Sera Masumi to solve the case.

However, Amuro Tooru really shouldn't go there now, because he has no reason to go.

The deceased was a Japanese police officer, and he might have been carrying identification. If someone notices something, then we'll be in trouble.

And that guy, Kenjiro Wakita, is right here.

Amuro Tooru had long known that this guy was no ordinary person and was very likely a member of the Black Organization.

Therefore, at this moment, he cannot allow Wakita Kanenori to find his weakness.

Besides, it was just the death of one of his men. Although he was heartbroken, he wouldn't expose himself for the sake of an unknown nobody.

"Boss, let me do this."

Amuro Tooru came over to the stove and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu gave up a stove and said with a smile, "Okay."

The two of them immediately got to work.

Meanwhile, Kenjiro Wakita, who had been preparing side dishes, glanced at Tooru Amuro and thought to himself, "Who was that guy talking to when he went out just now? We need to have someone check."

"Boss, I'm going outside for some fresh air, I'll be right back."

He stood up and looked at Kitahara Natsuyu.

Hearing this, Kitahara Natsuhiro said with a smile, "Don't slack off, and you can't smoke. It wouldn't be good if the guests found out."

After all, we're in the food service business; it wouldn't be good if our hands smelled of smoke and got into the food.

With a sheepish grin, Kenjiro Wakita scratched the back of his head and said, "No, I'm just going to get some fresh air."

"Go back quickly."

"it is good."

Immediately afterward, Kenjiro Wakita left the kitchen and exited through the back door. Once outside, he took out his phone and made a call.

"Hello, it's me. Can you help me find out who this phone number was just talking to? If you can't find it, then forget it."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Just then, a police car sped past in front of the alley, followed by a second and a third police car.

He walked out and turned to look at the crowd and the police officers; that was where the crime had occurred.

Looking at that place, he squinted his eyes: "I wonder if the people who died here are related to Amuro Tooru. Let him investigate while he's at it."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and called the person from earlier, asking him to keep an eye on the case.

After finishing these tasks, he prepared to return to the kitchen. Just as he was about to leave, he saw two familiar figures.

These two are Conan and Sera Masumi.

Upon seeing them, he stopped and squinted at them.

"Conan Edogawa, Sera Masumi!"

"If I remember correctly, Sera was once the surname of Mary Akai, and she did have a daughter."

"As for Conan Edogawa, he might be the high school detective, Shinichi Kudo."

Sherry, Gin, APTX-4869

Kenjiro Wakita couldn't help but start analyzing.

During this period, he wasn't just working here; he was also conducting some investigations.

And these are some of the things he discovered during his investigation.

However, he didn't know whether Gin or Sherry had concealed the drug's effects from the organization.

Reasonably suspecting everyone is what Rum should be doing.

Although Gin is the boss's confidant, he cannot be completely trusted.

But he still had doubts about Shirley, after all, Shirley was the drug's developer and the daughter of those two guys, inheriting their talents.

However, now that Sherry is dead, there's no way to investigate further.

Kitahara Natsuhiro locked Sherry down completely, and no matter how much they investigated, the result was always the same, so Rum couldn't do anything about it.

However, Kenjiro Wakita is still investigating Conan and Sera Masumi, but every time he gets to a crucial point in the investigation, his memory malfunctions and he automatically deletes that part of the memory.

At the same time, the memories of people who have contacted him will also be deleted.

Conan, Sera Masumi, and Sera Mary were able to stay in Beika Town thanks to Kitahara Natsuhiro.

Unfortunately, no one knows about all these sacrifices.

"I think I'll get the answer I want soon, but I still need to find a way to get my hands on that drug."

Because of Sherry's death, and the fact that the research institute is located in Japan, these drugs were sealed away. Only Gin and the boss knew where they were stored; no one else knew, not even the second-in-command.

However, he will continue to investigate where the drug is and get his hands on it.

Because only after obtaining this drug can we know its true effects.

Of course, before Miyano Elena and Miyano Atsushi died, there were still silver bullets in stock, but the boss also collected them and it is unknown where they were put.

It's fair to say that at that point, the boss no longer fully trusted Rum.

After all, it's normal for the boss to act this way because his identity is something that can't be exposed.

So now Rum wants to find out the truth of everything and then get everything from the boss.

Old man, times have changed. Now it should be my era.

"Wakita, get to work! Are you slacking off?"

Just then, Kitahara Natsuhiro's voice came from the kitchen.

Upon hearing the voice, Kenjiro Wakita shuddered and jogged back, saying, "I'm here, I'm here, I didn't slack off."

"You really didn't slack off? I think you were just about to go see a show. I just heard the police."

"Hehe, I didn't go, did I?"

On the other side, at the crime scene.

At this moment, Inspector Megure, Inspector Takagi, Inspector Sato, and Inspector Shiratori were already in position and examining the body.

Conan and Sera Masashi stood beside the corpse, relaying the information they had obtained from it to Inspector Megure.

Upon hearing this information, the forensic team members paused for a moment, then continued searching around the body.

They felt that they would be replaced by detectives sooner or later.

These detectives are really amazing. They arrived earlier than them, have better observation skills, and are even good friends with their superiors.

Maybe they'll get kicked out of the Metropolitan Police Department and have to eat their own food later.

Thinking of this, tears welled up in their eyes, but they still had to keep going. "Oh dear, it's Conan and Sera this time, just the two of you. Where's Kogoro?" Inspector Megure looked around, but couldn't find Kogoro Mouri anywhere.

Upon hearing this, Conan said, "Uncle Mori accepted a request today, so he went out."

"I see." Inspector Megure nodded, then crouched down and whispered in Conan's ear, "Is your brother Mori investigating a cheating case or looking for a lost pet?"

"After all, I haven't received a call from Brother Mori today; there haven't been any cases on his end yet."

"."

Upon hearing this, Conan's cheeks twitched involuntarily.

He never imagined that Inspector Megure, a police officer of the new era, would also start to indulge in feudal superstitions.

He and Uncle Mori really weren't possessed by the Grim Reaper.

The case had already occurred before he and Sera Masumi arrived; they just arrived earlier and knew more about it.

It really has nothing to do with them.

"That seems to be a request about infidelity." Even though he said that, Conan still replied.

“I knew it, cases involving infidelity are hard to come by,” Inspector Megure chuckled.

If that's the case, he can probably leave work on time today, but only after he finishes solving this case.

However, with Sera Masumi and Conan as detectives, solving the case is not an easy task.

Having seen Conan loitering around crime scenes for so long, he had long since gotten used to it.

Furthermore, Conan discovers clues that even experts like them haven't noticed, providing a great deal of help in solving cases.

This is why he allowed these detectives to operate on-site.

If you lack the strength, make up for it with foreign aid.

Conan and the other detectives are his external helpers.

Upon hearing this, Conan and Sera Masumi exchanged a helpless smile.

"So what are your thoughts?" Inspector Megure asked directly.

The next second, Conan and Sera Masumi pointed to two men and one woman not far away, a total of three people.

"They are the three suspects in this case, which is a homicide."

The two said in unison.

That's right, this is yet another murder case where you have to choose one out of three.

They also found something else on the deceased.

ID!

“A murder case.” Inspector Megure looked at the three of them with an interrogative gaze.

"By the way, there's also this."

At that moment, Sera Masumi took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from her pocket.

"This is..." Inspector Megure exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the item, "It's a police identification! The deceased was a police officer. This is troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Takagi, Sato, and Shiratori, who were standing nearby, were stunned for a moment, and their expressions suddenly changed.

They never expected that the deceased was actually a member of the police force. This was a really big deal, much more complicated than a regular case.

Furthermore, this is not an ordinary case; it may be related to foreign forces.

Although both are part of the police system, the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Bureau don't have much interaction. Moreover, the Public Security Bureau has higher authority than the Metropolitan Police Department, and they have the initiative in some matters, while the Metropolitan Police Department only has the right to cooperate.

Among the executors of Zero, the Metropolitan Police Department is an example of this, forced to unconditionally cooperate with the Japanese Public Security Bureau, and even deliberately making Kogoro Mouri a scapegoat.

Does the Metropolitan Police Department know that Kogoro Mouri is the scapegoat?
I know, but there's nothing I can do. After all, a higher-ranking official can have a crushing effect.

Although they may be of the same rank, their power is much greater than ours, so we can only cooperate with them in handling the case.

This matter involves the Japanese Public Security Bureau, and now Inspector Megure can only report it to his superiors; it's no longer something he can handle.

"I'll make a call, you guys take another look."

As he spoke, Inspector Megure took out his phone and called his superior. His superior was also very surprised when he learned about the matter, but he couldn't make the decision on this matter either and needed to report it to his superiors.

And this person was none other than the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, Toshiro Odagiri.

Upon learning of this, Toshiro Odagiri immediately called the head of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, intending for them to handle the matter, as the Metropolitan Police Department did not intend to get involved.

To his surprise, the Japanese Public Security Bureau did not intend to handle the matter this time, and instead left it to the Metropolitan Police Department.

After learning about this, Toshiro Odagiri was also very surprised that the police officer had changed his ways.

Although he noticed the police's strange behavior, he could only let the Metropolitan Police Department take over the case.

After all, this kind of thing is their responsibility, and this matter should not involve foreign forces.

Otherwise, the Japanese Public Security Bureau wouldn't have handed it over to the Metropolitan Police Department so easily.

The Japanese Public Security Bureau is responsible for external affairs, while the Metropolitan Police Department is responsible for internal affairs; the division of labor is very clear.

It's just like the FBI and CIA in the US, but they've gone to great lengths to fight each other.

Soon, Inspector Megure received orders from his superiors and took full control of the matter.

During this time, Conan and Sera Masumi already knew who the culprit was and had made a complete deduction.

At the moment the deduction ended, the murderer knelt on the ground and began to cry and repent.

The murderer was the woman among the three, and it was a crime of passion.

The reason for the crime of passion was that Ōwada abandoned her, and she hated Ōwada, so she drugged and killed him.

She was there to witness Owada's death; otherwise, she would not be at peace.

And so, Owada's body was taken away and returned to the Metropolitan Police Department, while Conan and Sera Masumi arrived at the restaurant.

After Inspector Megure and the others finished dealing with the trivial matters, they left with their men.

However, after Owada's body was transported to the Metropolitan Police Department, the police came to the door, took the body away, and immediately arranged for a forensic doctor to conduct an autopsy.

Odagiri Toshiro did not obstruct the Japanese Public Security Bureau's actions at all, but their actions were all under his watchful eye, and they did not cause any trouble.

When Inspector Megure and the others returned, they learned about the incident, but no one said anything.

After all, they have more power, and the Metropolitan Police Department can't resist them, so let them be!
But the credit for solving the case still goes to the Metropolitan Police Department, and that's enough.

At this time, Amuro Tooru also learned the truth about Owada's death from Conan and Sera Masumi.

However, he didn't believe that was the truth, and always felt that there were secrets they didn't know about.

We'll only know the answer after the autopsy.

The autopsy is underway, and the report will be available soon.

Once you know exactly what happened, it will be clear at a glance.

Although corpses cannot speak, a lot of information can be gleaned from them.

However, Conan also discovered some clues from the subtle points Amuro Tooru was asking.
