I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

"There's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

After doing this, Shinichi set his sights on Mr. Koda.

"Huh? So...good news?"

"The good news is that your sister was indeed killed by Giichi Watanuki."

Shinichi's tone was very flat, stating a relatively ruthless fact.

Can this be considered good news?

Koda was almost stunned. After hesitating, he continued to ask.

"What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that your sister's body was not buried in the Watanuki family's yard."

"what?!"

Koda was shocked.

Only then did he understand what Shinichi meant by dividing good news and bad news so much.

For him, who had long believed that his sister had been killed, identifying the murderer was undoubtedly good news.

But if you want to see a person alive or dead, you can't even find a body, so how can you catch the murderer?

If the police want to convict, they need to find a complete chain of evidence in other aspects, but after such a long time, it is natural to imagine how difficult it is to find evidence.

So that's the bad news.

No wonder he sneaked into the yard several times these days when Watanagi Yiichi was not at home, but he never found his sister's body.

"Please! You must have a way! Right?!"

If Koda was a little doubtful at first whether Shinichi was a real detective at such a young age, or whether he had the ability to help him.

So now he has completely placed his last hope on Shinichi.

"Don't worry, since I accepted your commission, I will complete it properly."

While Shinichi was speaking, he also turned his head and looked at a window upstairs of Watuguanyi's family.

Domineering exposed!

Wan Guanyi, who was monitoring several people with binoculars, suddenly hid.

Obviously the other party was just a young man, but he felt inexplicably guilty, as if he was facing police interrogation.

"hateful!"

Seeing the familiar look of Shinichi chatting with Mr. Koda, how could he not know that he was being tricked.

The warning before seeing off the guests had no effect, and several naughty kids ran into the construction site to play football again.

Mian Guanyi frowned, seemingly as calm as an old dog, but actually he was panicking.

I have no choice but to do something wrong.

Fortunately, Shinichi left with a few naughty kids not long after, which made him relieved.

"Humph, he's just a kid. Even the police can't do anything to me, so what can he find?"

Sitting back on the sofa, Watanuki Yiichi showed a contemptuous smile.

……

"You brat! Are you trying to make fun of me?!"

In a confectionery shop just one street away from Watukiyoshi's family, Mouri Kogoro complained angrily.

Today is his first day as a criminal policeman again. Thanks to his rich work experience in his early years, he is not unfamiliar with what he has to do.

Ten minutes ago, when he was so busy that he didn't even eat lunch and was trying his best to familiarize himself with the recent backlog of cases, he was called out by Shinichi.

"I came here after hearing you say there was a case!"

As he spoke, he crazily stuffed donuts into his mouth.

Ayumi and the three people watching on the side were stunned for a while.

"I heard that this is the same detective as Officer Megure!"

"I feel like Officer Takagi looks more like a detective than him!"

"He seems to be sister Xiaolan's father!"

The unusually loud whispers made Mouri Kogoro's old face fall, and even the speed of eating slowed down a lot.

Don't be angry, don't be angry, childish words are unbridled!

"Of course there are cases, but it's not too late. Let's have lunch first."

Putting the cut blueberry jam-filled sandwich in front of Xiao Ai, Shinichi said with a smile.

He planned to help Mouri Kogoro, who had just been reinstated, improve his performance, but now that Miyano Akemi has not returned, the evidence is still lacking.

"While we're at it, why don't we let Mr. Koda tell you about this case?"

"actually……"

Sitting opposite Kogoro Mouri, Mr. Koda looked sad and slowly began to tell what happened.

After confirming that something bad happened to his sister, his biggest wish now is to bring the murderer to justice.

So when narrating, every detail is explained very clearly, so that even Mouri Kogoro can understand it instantly.

"Yiichi Watanuki... I seem to have heard this name somewhere?"

Squinting his eyes, Mouri Kogoro subconsciously wanted to smoke a cigarette to cheer up, but after seeing a few children on the side, he stuffed the lighter back.

I just held an unlit cigarette in my mouth and tried to recall it in my mind.

"...I remembered!"

After a while, he slammed his hands on the table and shouted loudly.

The reckless action almost caused several children to knock over the juice they were holding, and also attracted angry stares from other customers in the store.

"Sorry~Sorry~"

Being stared at by so many people, even Mouri Kogoro felt quite embarrassed. He touched his head and apologized nonchalantly.

Chapter 243 Are they like father and daughter or brother and sister?

　　"How does it feel to play with them?"

When Koda and Mouri Kogoro went to the corner of the store to talk, Shinichi asked softly to the little Loli next to him.

"Not very good, too childish."

Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at Shinichi with a look that looked like an idiot.

"You don't think I can play with them, do you?"

Going to play football with Ayumi and others just now was just a stopgap measure. She didn't like playing with children!

Doesn't this make me look more like a child?

"I remember Ayumi was very enthusiastic towards you. You two should become good friends, right?"

Shinichi secretly laughed out loud, but on the surface he still had a thoughtful expression.

"And the last time you celebrated your birthday, didn't you still put the gift they gave you on your cabinet to this day?"

The little Loli's arrogant little expression suddenly became suffocated and she became a little at a loss.

Because Ayumi was really enthusiastic about her, she would knock on the door of the laboratory every time she went to Dr. Agasa's house, causing her to temporarily stop her research.

Even if she learns well, she will still be found if she stays in her own home after learning from the doctor in advance that the Three Little Girls are coming.

Even though Xiao Ai had made it clear that she was not interested in making friends, Bumi still stuck with her.

However, the other party's cute and lively appearance makes it difficult to refuse.

Over time, she also acquiesced in this kind of friendship, and even the two boys Yuanta and Mitsuhiko could barely be regarded as friends.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai couldn't help but sigh.

As a talented scientist girl, she was now reduced to hanging out with three elementary school students.

But she didn't hate this feeling herself.

This was what made her feel even more ashamed.

Seeing the change in the little loli's expression, Shinichi couldn't help but chuckle in a low voice.

Naturally, he had known for a long time that San Xiaozhi and Xiao Ai could become friends, and at the same time he was very happy to see this situation.

"By the way, speaking of which, why don't you just go to school too!"

"Never!"

Little Loli decisively rejected this proposal.

This is her final bottom line. If she really goes to elementary school, it will be completely over!

Seeing the little loli's angry look, Shinichi smiled and did not continue the topic.

He is not like Miyano Akemi, who has always been obsessed with letting Xiao Ai go to elementary school.

For him, it was enough to tease the little loli about it every once in a while and watch her cute expression of anger.

It's lunch time now, and there are many customers in the dim sum shop, and most of them are parents with their children.

But it's still rare for one person to have four children like Shinichi's.

Especially since these four children have their own characteristics.

Many guests' eyes glanced here intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiao Ai was a little unaccustomed to this feeling of being noticed, and subconsciously moved closer to Shinichi, trying to block these sights with his body.

"Look, it's the little girl with brown hair!"

"Doesn't the hair color look similar? I think it's the little girl with black hair on the left!"
