Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

The three of them started fighting together, and then stopped fighting together.

Finally, they looked at each other's writing together, and surprisingly, yet logically, they wrote the same character: long.

Ginjiro Toyama laughed and said, "It seems we have the same guess, so there must be only one answer."

Bai Shi Xiudao said, "Mr. Yuanshan, you didn't call me here just to ask these questions, did you?"

Ginjiro Toyama nodded and looked at Heizo Hattori.

Hattori Heizo began by saying:

"Officer Shiraishi, I've come up with a plan and I need your help. Here's the thing..."

Shiraishi listened attentively and gradually understood what the plan was, and that the police had already made arrangements for all of this.

However, this is normal. Although it seems like an ordinary murder case, there was already a connection thirteen years ago.

This time, the murderer is linked to the events of thirteen years ago, and the police were already prepared, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

After listening, Shiraishi Osamu smiled, nodded to them, and slowly walked downstairs, preparing to go to Shinbashi to find Ran and the others.

the other side.

In a restaurant near the new bridge.

Xiaolan and the others sat at the dining table, chatting happily together.

Sonoko looked at Yukiko's coat and asked, "Aunt Yukiko, is your coat repaired?"

“Yes.” Yukiko smiled calmly, her expression unchanged. “He still has some manliness; he knows how to take care of women.”

"Oh……"

Sonoko nodded in sudden realization.

However, she had some doubts in her heart.

Ever since she noticed something was off between Shiraishi Osamu and Aunt Eri Kisaki, she has stopped looking at that man with normal eyes.

Looking at Aunt Yukiko's coat, she couldn't help but think of Osamu Shiraishi. Could it be that, like last time, he had some kind of ambiguous relationship with Aunt Yukiko?

Even though Aunt Yukiko was once a big star, Osamu Shiraishi is so outstanding that he might just make these older women infatuated.

In Sonoko's eyes, Osamu Shiraishi is a very outstanding man. She likes him a lot and has never given up on wanting to become his girlfriend.

However, without concrete evidence, she only had suspicions about Aunt Yukiko and wouldn't take any unnecessary actions.

Xiao Lan sighed, "Xiu Mingming could have ignored this, after all, there are so many police officers here, it's not like we're in Dongying."

Kazuha laughed and said, "Oh, it's okay. All boys are like that anyway. Besides, my dad is the same way. He won't leave once he sees a case."

"Yes, it is."

Garden echoed, then said with a smile:

"But Xiu is different. He said before we left that he would come back to find us in a little while, and I think he will be here soon."

"Hehe, Sonoko, I'm a man of my word."

Shiraishi Osamu's voice rang out at just the right moment.

They looked over together and saw Shiraishi Xiu hand the umbrella to the waiter and walk towards them with a smile.

He pulled out a chair and sat down next to Yukiko, secretly touching the woman next to him under the table.

Yukiko shifted her feet and pursed her lips. She hadn't expected this man to be so frivolous from the moment he arrived; it would have been better if he hadn't come at all.

Sonoko snorted, "I bet you're too scared to stand me up, otherwise no one will believe you next time."

"Yes, yes, Miss Sonoko is right."

Shiraishi Osamu shook his head helplessly, deciding not to contradict him at this point. Since everyone was already there, it would be better to have dinner together.

Chapter 0279: Irrationality

After dinner.

Shiraishi Osamu and Ran, along with the others, headed towards Shinbashi, umbrellas in hand, to check on the progress of their investigation at Tenshukaku.

If there are still no results, they plan to tell them at this point and leave.

Yukiko glanced at Shiraishi Osamu, then at the three girls in front of her, and asked softly:

"You gave me your coat, and it's so cold now, are you sure it's okay?"

"What, are you starting to worry about me?"

Shiraishi Xiu looked at the woman and couldn't help but smile. It seemed that his efforts had not been in vain. This simple question already showed that her attitude had begun to change considerably.

Yukiko scoffed:

"You're overthinking it. I'm just worried that if you really get sick, you'll have an excuse to cause me trouble. Anyway, I'm warning you, if you try to use this to cause me trouble in the future, I won't agree to it."

"Yes, yes, I definitely won't cause you any trouble."

Just remember that.

"Hmm."

Osamu Shiraishi had a funny look on his face.

This proud and arrogant woman.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that was really true. If it weren't for the fact that I've known her for so long, I would have been fooled by someone else.

Seeing Ran's worried expression, Kazuha comforted her, "Ran, don't worry. Uncle Mori is an adult. Even if he wants to eat, he'll find something to eat himself. He won't go hungry."

Sonoko chimed in, "That's right. Ran, I think you sometimes spoil your dad too much. No, I mean you pamper him too much. Look at him now, he's as lazy as a parasite."

Xiaolan said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do, he's my dad."

And so it went.

They have already walked onto the new bridge.

Suddenly, a small light appeared on the bridge, brightening the already dark surroundings considerably.

Shiraishi and the others also stopped and looked at the person waiting on the middle edge of the bridge.

She was wearing a coat, completely covered up, and had her back to everyone. The flames were coming out in front of her, looking like a lighter.

Sudden……

With a loud "boom!"

The figure set itself on fire, struggled for a moment, and then plunged headfirst into the riverbed.

"This……"

Xiao Lan and the others were taken aback. They ran over and looked down from the bridge, their pupils immediately contracting.

Below, a figure was floating on the river, its body ablaze, looking extremely terrifying in the darkness.

"Ahhhhhh IIlli"

Kazuha's loud shout shattered the eerie silence.

Shiraishi Xiu's ears twitched, and he suddenly glanced behind him. There was a small black figure holding an umbrella at the end of the bridge behind him, also looking in their direction.

Yes, it really is Little Black.

Even though it's not particularly dark yet, the person in front of me is completely black, with only two bright eyes visible.

Shiraishi Osamu's face turned slightly green, sensing the intense malice of the Conan world. He couldn't even see the person clearly at such close range, especially since it was a small black figure.

Outrageous!

This is absolutely outrageous!

As if snapping out of his shock, Xiao Hei abruptly dropped his umbrella and ran back.

Seeing that Shiraishi Osamu was not moving, Yukiko hurriedly asked, "Aren't you going to chase after him?"

Bai Shixiu said calmly, "No need. It's just a little black guy. We'll catch him soon."

"what?"

Yukiko was taken aback.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

She didn't know what "Xiao Hei" meant; it just didn't sound right, and she felt like she had suddenly forgotten something.

just now……

like……

should……

Isn't this the time to talk about this?

Yukiko looked at Shiraishi Osamu strangely, feeling that something was off about him at this moment. Despite being a police officer, he wasn't chasing after that suspicious-looking shadowy figure.

Shiraishi Xiu didn't explain anything, but smiled at her and looked back at the motionless figure in the water under the bridge.

It's obvious that this person died when they fell into the water.

Otherwise, how could someone who was just set on fire die so suddenly without even struggling?

Gradually, his eyes narrowed. It seemed things weren't so simple after all!

and……

Thinking this, he looked towards the woods across the bridge and sure enough, he spotted several figures.

Without staring at them closely, Shiraishi Xiu subtly withdrew his gaze, pretending not to have noticed anything.

A dozen minutes later.

Officer Oarai and his team have arrived.

Ginjiro Toyama was also there.

Kogoro Mouri and the others also came over, and they all gathered on Shinbashi Bridge.

Inspector Oarai looked at the body that had been pulled from the water, shook his head, and said:

"The deceased was named Katagiri Maho, a member of the tour group we just saw, and the only female member. According to Kazuha and the others, she suddenly set her coat on fire, then swayed and fell off the bridge. However, her primary cause of death was a severe blow to the back of her head. I think she must have hit the stone bridge pier first before falling into the water."
