"Sigh, the police officers work the hardest, and you taxpayers don't even know how to appreciate our efforts."
"You should complain to those congressmen. After all, they're putting so much pressure on you because they're afraid of dying, aren't they?"
Ai Haibara herself probably doesn't realize how incongruous it is that she, with the face of a child, is talking about topics that only adults would discuss.
"I'm just a lowly policeman, who would listen to me?"
"Okay, I'm finished eating."
Kazama Kaoru channeled his grief and anger into his appetite, finishing the last few mouthfuls of rice before getting up to leave.
"Be careful on the road,"
"I see."
When Kaoru Kazama's voice came over, he was already outside the door.
While going downstairs, I took out my keys and realized that the car I drove back today was a police car from the Metropolitan Police Department.
It's about 7:30 now, and it's the busiest time of day outside. Unfortunately, Kaoru Kazama has run into the evening rush hour.
But it doesn't matter, he has a magic weapon.
They turned on the siren, and with red and blue lights flashing and a whirring sound, they made their way to the Metropolitan Police Department without any problems, all in just fifteen minutes.
It seems that the people of Tokyo still harbor deep hatred for criminals, as they made way for the police car along the way so that it could reach its destination as soon as possible and send the criminals to prison.
Regardless of what those car owners thought, this is how Kazama Kaoru himself understood it.
"Hey, Xiao Xun, you're here. Perfect timing. Let's pack up our gear and go."
"Hey, wait a minute, why are you leaving as soon as I arrive? Where are you going?"
Kaoru Kazama originally intended to check the surveillance footage from the room of Representative Iwamatsu Oki on the 67th floor and the surrounding area, but before she could even sit down, Miwako pulled her up.
"We're going to find out more about the suspects later. We'll go to Kazama Hidehiko first, then Kisaragi Mine, and finally Hara Yoshiaki. But because of time constraints, we'll talk about Hara Yoshiaki tomorrow morning."
There was no need to rush, but now almost all the police officers are out on cases, so Kazama Kaoru can't blatantly slack off anymore.
Being caught by workaholic Sato is truly a tragic thing.
Feeling down, Kaoru Kazama wasn't in the mood to fight Miwako for the steering wheel, so Miwako took advantage of the dark night and sparse traffic to speed away.
When they arrived at the Kazama residence, his feet felt weak on the ground, as if he could take off at any moment.
"Miwako, you're driving way too far! You're not acting like a police officer, you're more like a motorcycle gang member."
"Hehe, Xiao Xun, don't worry about these things, let's go inside quickly."
Feeling refreshed after the race, Sato clasped his hands together and gave Kazama an apologetic look.
With the beautiful woman pleading for him, he was too embarrassed to make a scene again, so he could only sullenly ring the doorbell of the Kazama residence.
"Ding Dong"
"Miss Police Officer, what happened so late?"
It took Kazama Hidehiko a while to open the door, and when he saw that it was Kazama Kaoru and Sato, he looked quite surprised.
However, during this brief moment, Kaoru Kazama noticed several pairs of children's shoes on the floor of his entryway.
One of the pairs had a barely noticeable white button on the heel.
Upon seeing this, Kaoru Kazama immediately understood that the Junior Detective League must have arrived.
"Mr. Kazama, we would like to ask you about the situation regarding Representative Oki."
Sato pulled out his police ID and waved it in front of Kazama Hidehiko.
However, Kaoru Kazama felt a little awkward when she heard Sato say that.
It's estimated that he's been influenced by the system to the point that he feels uncomfortable even when others call him "sir." Don't be fooled by the fact that this cross-dressing master system is lazy; his skill in subtly feminizing others is still quite profound.
"Please come in. A few kids just came to ask me about this too. You guys really happened to be here at the same time."
"child?"
Sato was puzzled by this, because she couldn't see the shoes on the entryway floor due to her position.
"It's probably Conan and his friends. They're probably just out solving cases because they can't stay idle. This kid just likes to run around with these kids."
Kaoru Kazama directly dumped the blame on Conan's head.
Actually, he was wronged; it wasn't Conan who brought it up this time.
"Sister Xiao Xun, Officer Sato, what brings you here?"
As soon as Kaoru and his friends entered the room, they saw the trio of mischievous kids happily devouring drinks and cookies.
I knew these kids wouldn't do anything serious. Did they come to someone's house for a midnight snack?
"Since your juvenile detective club has already taken action, we police officers can't just sit idly by, can we? So, what's the result?"
Actually, when these kids aren't doing anything silly, they're kind of cute.
Chapter 247 Sato's Maximum Boyfriend Power
"Officer Kazama, look, this is the result of our questioning!"
Mitsuhiko proudly handed his booklet to Kazama Kaoru, on which were clearly written the questions they had asked and the answers Kazama Hidehiko had given, and it was quite clear and neat.
For a seven-year-old child, that's really good.
"It seems you've had quite a haul. Let me take a closer look."
Kaoru Kazama's opinion of these mischievous kids has changed somewhat; this can no longer be considered mere antics.
Most seven-year-olds are playful, but these kids went to great lengths to investigate a case that had nothing to do with them. Their dedication is truly admirable.
"What kind of person is Mr. Oki in your opinion?"
On Mitsuhiko's notebook, Kazama Hidehiko's answer to this question was clearly written.
"A vulgar middle-aged man."
That's quite blunt. This Oki Iwatsu has a bad reputation, and he's also a sleazy and vulgar person.
However, Hidehiko Kazama, the person in question, felt a little uncomfortable hearing Kaoru Kazama read out his answer so seriously.
Of course, you can speak freely in front of a group of children, but when facing two beautiful policewomen, you should be a little more gentlemanly.
"I also have a few questions I'd like to ask Mr. Kazama."
"Excuse me"
"Whether the deceased, Oki Iwamatsu, had any conflicts with you during the planning of the Twin Towers skyscraper is something our police will determine. Mr. Kazama, you don't need to worry about being implicated."
"Well, since Representative Ohki has been working tirelessly on the bill from beginning to end, and I've been living and working on the construction site, keeping a close eye on the project's progress, we haven't had many opportunities to meet, so there's no real conflict or contradiction."
Kazama Hidehiko sat with his legs crossed, looking completely at ease.
Actually, the police didn't really suspect Moriya Teiji's disciple much; it was just that the great detective was a bit too nervous.
------------
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Sorry to bother you."
"Miwako, whose place are we going to next?"
"The second one, let me take a look."
Miwako pulled out her police handbook and was still flipping through it when Kaoru Kazama dragged her away.
"Hey, Xun, what are you doing?"
"No need to look, we can just follow them."
Kaoru Kazama pointed at the Junior Detective League members.
Since the investigation is going to focus on those five suspects anyway, it's better to bring these kids along to avoid any accidents than to let them roam around freely.
"You guys, stop wandering around on your own. Get in the car, Officer Sato is taking a good deed and will give you a ride."
"really?"
"Long live Officer Sato."
The children cheered and ran onto the police car. Perhaps because they had been there before, they weren't as resistant this time.
"Xiao Xun, I remember you really dislike these kids, so why did you offer to bring them on the bus this time?"
Sato looked at Kazama Kaoru with a very suspicious look. Judging from Kazama Kaoru's past behavior, it was clear that she didn't like these bratty kids. Why would she ask to bring them along this time?
"If it weren't for letting you drive safely, would I have made such a big sacrifice?"
Kazama Kaoru harbored resentment in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.
"Can't I have a little compassion?"
Kazama rolled his eyes at Miwako, then walked to the driver's seat, opened the door, and got in.
That's right, his ultimate goal was to get Sato out of the driver's seat.
With a car full of unruly kids, even someone as daring as Sato wouldn't be able to drive recklessly.
The second stop was the home of Japanese painter Kisaragi Mine. When the old man opened the door and saw a few children, he immediately put on a sour face.
Even seeing two policemen following behind didn't change much; instead, he made a sarcastic remark:
"Are police officers nowadays handling cases with children on the job? No wonder their efficiency is so low."
"Don't underestimate children; they might just be the ones who find the real culprit in the end."
Kaoru Kazama scanned the national treasure-level Japanese painter with sharp eyes. Such a stubborn old man was really not easy to deal with.
Let alone taking them in for questioning, if the interrogation goes on for even a little while, a whole bunch of people will come to warn us, openly or secretly.
Otherwise, why would Kazama and the others go through all this trouble, with a bunch of clueless people always interfering in the case?
"Where were you at the time of the incident?"
"I paint at home."
"Is there anyone who can vouch for this?"
No, I live alone.
