Serabelle thought about it for a moment.

"This further proves that there was another reason for Ninobo's death?"

However, this can only be regarded as the police's incompetence or lack of ability. It doesn't seem to be to the point where the news must be blocked, right?

"That's not all." Inspector Megure shook his head, "Remember what I said just now about Officer Tomonari dying of a heart attack during an ambush in the summer of the same year due to the hot weather?"

"Is there any inside information about that matter?"

"I guess so. In fact, there was another reason why they didn't call an ambulance at the time. In order to prevent the arrest operation from being exposed as a failure, Officer Tomonari insisted on not letting Officer Sato call for an ambulance. He forced himself to stay away from the scene of the operation and tried to call a taxi to take him to the hospital, but he fainted on the way. After that, Officer Sato drove him to the hospital in a police car. However, because of this delay, Officer Tomonari died on the operating table during the rescue."

"And Officer Youcheng's son, Youcheng Zhen, believed that Officer Sato and his men were responsible for his father's death, and he became particularly hostile to the police."

After saying all this, Inspector Megure paused, swallowed hard, and then spoke again.

"And one more thing is that the target of that arrest operation was Minister Odagiri's son, Toshiya Odagiri, who directed you to do the smoke reaction test in the banquet hall yesterday. There was a rumor at the time that Toshiya Odagiri had blackmailed Dr. Ninoho, so..."

"Okay, I think I understand."

Serabelle leaned her head back against the back of the chair and inserted her fingers deeply into her hair from her forehead.

To put it bluntly, all three parties are suspects.

So it’s enough to be just good enough at work, especially as a police officer.

How can I check everything...

What if something is found out?

Chapter 540: Fingers intertwined on the roller coaster

Serabelle didn't take the inside information given by Inspector Megure in the hospital too seriously.

After all, as Inspector Megure said, if it is the first situation, that is, the murderer who killed Nino Bao at that time was someone else, and now the murderer wants to avoid his crime being discovered, so he tries to kill all three police officers who are secretly investigating the case again. Now two years have passed, and it is almost impossible to find any evidence at the scene at that time, and the difficulty of solving the case has reached the ceiling.

If it is the second or third type, first of all, the perpetrators are related to the police system. One is a family member of a police officer, and the other is a senior police officer. It is already very difficult to obtain their intelligence information, not to mention that the latter is the director of the Criminal Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. If he wants to cover up his criminal traces, he will use any means.

And for Serabelle herself, going on various investigations is not the best way to solve the case.

At least there are two paths before him now.

One is to wait for Officer Sato in the hospital to wake up.

The second is to wait until Xiaolan's memory recovers and she remembers the identity of the murderer.

Of these two methods, the first one could only be left to fate, but for the second one, Serabelle felt that she could still try a little harder.

So time passed quickly and it was the next day.

It was 9:30 in the morning, at the entrance of Dorobiga Park.

The weather today is exceptionally sunny, with bright sunshine and no clouds in the sky. The light golden sunlight shines through the blue sky, and it is particularly striking and brings warmth to people in the day with a temperature of more than ten degrees just after the severe winter and the temperature has slightly warmed up.

Because it was Monday, a desperate workday, there were not many people at the entrance to the amusement park, which was always crowded with people on weekends and holidays.

There weren't even two people queuing at the ticket vending machines, and most of the lines were empty.

"Give."

Serabelle, who had just returned from the ticket vending machine, handed one of the two tickets in her hand to the unicorn girl who was traveling with her.

"Oh, thanks."

Xiaolan thanked him politely and took it. After a slight hesitation, she called out to the boy who was about to turn around and walk towards the entrance.

"By the way, Sera-kun, how do I look in this outfit today?"

"……what?"

Upon hearing this, Serabelle turned around and looked carefully.

This was the first time he noticed Xiaolan's outfit today. She was wearing a light purple hooded pullover on the upper body, and elastic jeans on the lower body that tightly wrapped around her legs, which were quite slender and tight due to her karate training, and a pair of white sneakers.

All in all, it is a very normal outfit for a high school girl going out for fun.

"It's OK. It's good."

Serabelle nodded.

In fact, what he wanted to express was simply "okay" or "OK", but for some reason Xiaolan seemed to understand the second half of the sentence "pretty good" as a compliment, and a happy smile instantly bloomed on her pretty face, which was filled with the youthfulness unique to high school girls.

“It’s pretty nice, isn’t it?”

Then he turned around and demonstrated it.

Serabelle could only cooperate and continued to hum, repeating that it was quite beautiful.

"Okay, we're almost there."

"Coming, coming~"

After passing through the ticket gate, the two of them each received a guide to the Dorobiga Amusement Park.

The distributed guide seems to be a recently updated version, with some adjustments to the introduction length, integrating some old projects into one section, and then using the rest of the space to introduce the recently added water entertainment elements.

"Let me take a look... the more famous ones are the roller coaster, the devil's laboratory, the ice fog maze, the haunted house..."

Serabel pointed to the classic items in the guide and read them word by word. When he read about the haunted house, he lightly stroked the paper with his index finger.

"Well, we won't go to this haunted house. I remember that you seem to be afraid of ghosts, Ms. Maori."

"I didn't say I was scared..."

Xiaolan still tried to defend herself.

Then Serabelle glanced at her.

"Then how about we try the haunted house later?"

“…No need!”

Frightened for a second.

Serabelle shrugged: "Then don't go."

Call ~

Hearing this, Xiaolan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest with her hand, and then pursed her lips.

"And Sera-kun, please don't call me Miss Maori. It sounds strange."

"What's that called?"

"Just call me 'Lan' like my mother calls me."

"Got it, Lan."

Serabelle lowered her head and looked at the guide again, then pointed to the roller coaster that was the first on the list of attractions.

"Then let's go try the roller coaster first."

"Well, this is still acceptable..."

As the largest amusement park in Tokyo, Dorobiga Park has Japan's largest roller coaster, the Sky Coaster, which has a maximum height of 150 meters and a maximum speed of 250 kilometers per hour. The track covers an area of ​​almost one-third of Dorobiga Park, spreading from the magical Fantasy Island to the sky above the neighboring Dream Fairytale Island, and then circling back.

When it is in operation, the rumbling sound of the rails can be heard throughout the western half of the amusement park, and when it passes overhead, it can create a wind strong enough to blow away the sun hat on the head, as well as screams along the way that almost pierce the eardrums.

Its starting point is no different from other roller coasters, in a tunnel that looks like a missile silo.

"Have you ever ridden the roller coaster here before, Serah-kun?"

"No, I haven't been on any roller coasters."

"Eh? Does this mean this is your first time sitting here?"

"Ah."

The missile silo... No, it should be next to the roller coaster platform. The train that just completed a circle stopped quietly on the track waiting for tourists to get on one by one. Then the staff helped to fasten the seat belts and safety handrails and checked them.

Xiaolan tilted her head with a little curiosity and looked at the calm-looking boy beside her.

To be honest, she couldn't see how this Sera-kun looked like he was riding a roller coaster for the first time. If the staff hadn't reminded him that it was best to hold on to the handrails, he would have even planned to put his hands in his coat pockets and ride the entire ride in Ge You's lying position.

"By the way, Sera-kun... aren't you nervous?"

"Fortunately."

Serabelle also turned to look at her.

"The accident rate of this type of roller coaster is about one in 250 million. Unless you are extremely unlucky, an accident is unlikely to happen. And the purpose of this type of ride in an amusement park is to give tourists a thrill, not to send them away directly, so there is no need to be nervous."

"That's right."

Xiaolan nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, the staff had checked all the safety facilities and exited the acceleration channel. All the lighting was turned off. Instead, two rows of alarm-like red lights on both sides of the tunnel began to flash and accelerate, like a sign before a missile launch.

In the darkness, Serabelle heard the unicorn girl beside her speak in a low, embarrassed voice.

"Sera-kun, um...can you lend me your hand?"

"hand?"

Serabelle didn't know what she was going to do, but she still released her left hand from the safety rail and stretched it forward, shaking it.

Although the lights in the tunnel have been turned off, I can still see the bright light outside the tunnel entrance when I look straight ahead. The outstretched hand appears as a black silhouette against the bright light.

Then he saw another hand reaching out, grabbing his hand and pulling it down, clasping it tightly with five fingers.

It feels cool to the touch and a little bit moist.

"Sorry, I'm a little nervous..."

Chapter 541 I've Bought Her Hot Cocoa

Ten minutes later, as another roller coaster in the missile silo rushed up into the blue sky along the track, Serabelle handed Xiaolan the hot cocoa she had just bought from a nearby beverage vending machine next to a bench in the amusement park below the starting point of the roller coaster platform, and then sat down on the bench herself.

"How do you feel? Do you think it's fun?"

“It’s fun and exciting!”

Her fingertips touched the warm outer wall of the beverage carton, and the unicorn girl nodded happily.

But then she immediately realized that she hadn't said thank you yet, so she quickly added another sentence.

"Oh yeah, and...thank you."

"fine."

Serabelle removed the straw, tore open the wrapping paper and inserted it into the socket. She then used her other hand to take out the tour guide.

However, just as he was about to look at the next amusement ride to choose, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

It is a vibration reminder of text messages.

"Wait a moment, someone sent me a message."

"Oh……"

Xiaolan naturally had no objection.

After all, she had just gotten off such a thrilling roller coaster. Even now, her legs and feet could still seem to feel the high-frequency and violent vibrations of the roller coaster speeding across the track. She needed to rest for a while before she could recover.

But before she could take a sip of the hot cocoa, she saw the boy next to her who was originally looking at the phone in his hand suddenly turned his head to look at her, and then turned back to typing on his phone.

"Uh, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

"no problem."

Serabelle turned the phone screen to show her the chat content.

"It's the little boy named Conan from yesterday. He was very concerned about your memory recovery, so he sent me a message after class to ask if you have any signs of memory recovery."

"Oh, that's not it..."

Xiaolan's face showed understanding, but then it became a little gloomy in an instant.

Apparently she hadn't remembered anything so far.

Serabelle also noticed this, so she started typing directly.

[We have only been at the amusement park for less than half an hour and have just ridden the roller coaster. As of now, there is no sign of memory recovery.]
