Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 55 Familiar Black Hand Breath

"I was there with my friends last night. That woman didn't like gigolos. She relied on her money to flaunt herself around the place. Whenever she saw a handsome guy, she would go over to chat him up with a group of aunties. It annoyed everyone..."

"I'm buying drinks for everyone in the room!"

Xuesong Nami, who was being held in the back seat, suddenly interrupted with a sharp voice.

"Wulusai, auntie, don't you see how thick the putty on your face is? You can use it to paint the wall. What kind of tender grass do you still want to eat? And if it weren't for those few glasses of wine you drank, do you think no one wanted to beat you up last night?"

"Asshole! Ungrateful bastard! You..."

"Stop making so much noise, old woman! I heard that Mr. Maori was going to cause trouble for you, so I thought it would be fun, but you were prepared in advance? Did you hire security guards? Tsk, it's good to have money, but now you're in trouble, hahaha, it really makes me feel good both physically and mentally."

"........."

The quarrel between this enthusiastic passerby and Xue Song Nami left everyone speechless again. Besides, didn't you just say you were going to watch the show? You just said you admired Mr. Maori, but in the end you just used him as a free thug.

By the way, he said Xuesong Nami was well prepared?
Several policemen in the car all looked towards Xuesong Nami. This was indeed a suspicious direction.

But Kudo Shinichi didn't think so. He frowned when he heard this: "You want to guide our thinking direction?"

The laughter on the other end of the phone froze, and then he laughed out loud: "I don't know what you mean, sir. I'm just guessing. After all, Mr. Mao Li is looking for her, so they must have a grudge, right? Isn't it normal for them to be prepared for each other and want to beat each other up at any time?"

"Okay, Xuesong Nami treated you guys to drinks last night. Was it free choice or Drinks on me? What was the approximate time?"

"I don't quite remember. Besides, are you a police officer? I don't think I should be questioned in any form."

"Don't you realize that you answered too quickly? If you don't remember, you should at least try to think about it."

"Because I'm really mad at you right now. Bye."

"Oh, even the cover-up is very logical. The person behind you prepared the lines for you, but didn't he give you any advice on your acting? Tell me..."

"I'm so annoyed! I don't know what you're talking about. Go away, it's my bad luck today!"

beep beep-

After a busy tone on the phone, the police car fell into a long silence. Everyone looked at each other, confused by the sudden change in the tone.

Originally, wasn't it quite harmonious?

"Ms. Xuesong, do you have any impression of the voice of that person just now?" Kudo Shinichi spoke again, "If you have it, then you have it. If you don't have it, then you don't have it. Don't try to be clever. I promise, I can tell."

The words "I have no impression at all" were about to come out of Xuesong Nami's throat, but she quickly swallowed them back after hearing this.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart, this high school detective Kudo Shinichi must be some thousand-year-old monster in disguise!
She thought about it for a long time, and finally shook her head dejectedly: "I chatted up so many boys yesterday that I can't even remember them all. Maybe there were some, maybe not, who knows."

Kudo Shinichi sighed softly: "I understand."

He paused for a few seconds and said, "Officer Sato, please take her back to the Metropolitan Police Department with Officer Chiba. I'll leave Uncle Maori to Officer Kanakawa.

Don't worry about him being in danger. If this is really a trap set for him, then the other party's purpose is more like beating him up to vent their anger, rather than killing him, otherwise Uncle Maori would definitely be dead now."

"but……"

Sato Miwako was about to say something, but Kudo Shinichi interrupted her, "As for Uncle Mori, let him and Officer Takagi stay in the same ward. Even if I think he will be fine, this is a precaution."

Sato Miwako was silent for a few breaths: "Should we tell Lawyer Fei about this?"

"Let's see what Uncle Maori says when he wakes up." Kudo Shinichi rubbed his brows and sighed helplessly, "He has a history of being impulsive once before, so we can't rule out the possibility that he knows the road conditions here and deliberately sent you away so that he could teach Xue Song Nami a lesson alone."

He hesitated for a few seconds and added, "Officer Jinchuan, go to the hospital and give Uncle Maori a urine test to see if he might have lost control of his emotions because of that again."

"understand!"

After the call was hung up, the Metropolitan Police Department searched the third department office. After a long time of idleness, Megure Jusan finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother Kudo, who is the mastermind behind this?"

Kudo Shinichi shook his head: "I'm not sure, Officer Megure, but if it's really not a coincidence, then this familiar method is definitely that person."

Megure Jusan suddenly realized and gritted his teeth and said, "You can't find any evidence of his existence, right? The existence of the informant is reasonable!

Brother Kudo, do you want to conduct a large-scale interrogation? As long as we can find out where...where... "

He paused in the middle of his words. It was impossible for them to complete such a huge project right now.

Moreover, even if the other party is lying with open eyes, they have no way of telling the truth if even the person involved, Nami Yukimatsu, is not sure about it.

hiss--

Sure enough, it was the same feeling as before, there was an unsolvable conspiracy behind the scenes!
"but!"

Megure Jusan's eyes lit up: "As long as we can catch those gang members, we can always get something out of them!"

“Then please let the police work hard.”

Kudo Shinichi responded casually, not really caring. Even if the police caught them, they would not be able to get anything out of them. It was too easy to build a firewall for himself through bad boys. He could come up with a series of ways just by thinking about it.

not to mention……

The police never caught them.

Even though he didn't have much expectation, Kudo Shinichi was still speechless when he heard this two hours later.

Could it be that the police have been too lax?

It was not until he was in a silent standoff with Yuzukatsu Nami in the detention room that Megure Jusan brought the fingerprint test report and he regained some confidence in the police. At least in terms of scientific investigation, the police did a good job.

"As expected of you, Kudo brother! You dived to the bottom of the lake to search last night, and you really found the key clue."

Megure Juzo patted his shoulder heavily and his tone was full of joy, but Kudo Shinichi, who had just heard the name "Yuzuna Nami", did not smile at all. He just took the report silently and looked through it.

The current time is 9:30 am on Sunday.

After reading the report, Kudo Shinichi closed his eyes and thought for about half a minute. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were shining again.

"Bring me a bottle that looks exactly like the one in evidence."

The Metropolitan Police Department didn't have anything like this, so Chiba and Shin immediately ran out to buy it.

Although he was fat, his steps were quite agile. When he met a crowd, he moved sideways like a bighead carp swimming upstream.

This interesting scene passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the cafe and flowed into a certain girl's eyes as pure as amethyst, causing her to laugh softly with her hands covering her mouth like a silver bell.

Hotaru-kun, I really lost to you.
