Conan: On the possibility that Whiskey is an undercover agent

After changing his clothes, Scotland quickly calmed down. He did not forget his identity.

"It was initially determined that the fire was caused by aging wiring. You said the girl was alone in the room, very close to the main switch room, right?"

"But she should have had time to leave after hearing the noise. This is strange—"

"No wonder, she is blind."

This attracted Gojo Zenji's attention. He looked over and saw that it was the inspector who had been transferred here not long ago. "Officer Ida? Do you know her?"

"We only met once before. Oh, by the way, Gojo-senpai." Date Kou made way for the person behind him. "We want to see the body of the deceased. This is the deceased's friend. His name is Midorikawa Hikaru."

"Oh, I know. I've met you. You got married not long ago." Gojo Yoshiharu patted Date Kou's shoulder. "You even ate his wedding candy. But it's a pity that this happened. I'm sorry."

Date Hang: ???

What? Hiro got married? Earlier than him?

Idahang was shocked! Idahang couldn't believe it!

Facing the monitor's questioning look, Scotland admitted it reluctantly. The monitor looked at him as a traitor, which made him want to drag Tokaj from home to hold a clarification meeting.

Sometimes he felt that there was a reason why Gin was "stuck".

"No further tests have been conducted yet. The samples have been sent to the hospital for DNA testing. The results will be available as early as this afternoon."

She was taken out of the body bag, a black mass with no visible features, barely maintaining a human shape. Before she died, she clasped her hands together and placed them tightly in front of her chest, which was a gesture of praying to God. Scotland clearly remembered that she was still in the church at that time, praying for blessings for her brother.

This is the Aoi oleifera.

Everyone's mood became heavy. Those present had all learned professional knowledge and naturally understood how painful it was to die from fire.

Scotland didn't say anything. He even looked quite calm. Only his tightly stared eyes betrayed him. He stared at the empty, black eye sockets where there used to be a pair of out-of-focus but warm and beautiful eyes. She had black hair and blue eyes like himself.

He quickly withdrew his gaze and turned back to ask Inuzuka Yafushi who had just arrived. The other party was dusty and his eyes were full of fatigue. They were still chatting and laughing in the car more than an hour ago. The butler negotiated with him calmly and elegantly about the situation of Ye Shimu Aoi.

"Mr. Midorikawa, please come out with me for a moment."

The two men came outside. There were some things that were not convenient to say in front of the police, and no one stopped them. The family members' emotions still needed to be taken care of.

"The head of the family said that the follow-up handling of Miss Aoi will be left to you, and this matter will not be handed over to the police for investigation." He looked in a very bad state, and there was a slightly complicated emotion in his eyes when he looked at Scotland.

"If possible, can you not use your method to deal with it——" he said, "No one will know. If you cremate her, just erect a tombstone without any words, at least she won't become a wandering ghost."

He almost used a pleading tone. He was obviously just a housekeeper, but he was begging this stranger from the perspective of a relative to at least leave his ashes behind.

But it was the family of Aoi Yemuro who made this decision. Scotland felt it was absurd and ridiculous that the one who came to handle Aoi's funeral was not her biological brother, but himself, who had only met her once.

"okay, I get it."

He agreed.

If there wasn't even a tombstone, would she not be able to find the way to heaven?

The DNA test was very quick, and after confirming that the person was indeed Ye Shikui, the police readily handed the body over to Ye Shi's family. After all, the accident had been confirmed to be an accident, and the police could do nothing but express their condolences.

With the help of Inuzuka Yafushi, they found a cemetery. The Yemuro family had their own cemetery, but the fact that Yemuro Aoi had a cemetery was the result of their taking advantage of a loophole. This cemetery was far away from the city, but it was quiet.

In order not to attract attention, there was an inscriptionless, square, blank tombstone. Such a small grave was the final resting place of Ye Shikui. In front of a crowd of tombstones engraved with epitaphs, it seemed particularly abrupt. It was a deserted new grave. She did not have a funeral, and naturally no one came to visit her.

The two men stood here in silence for a while, without tears, but fortunately Scotland vaguely remembered the beautiful and elegant lilies in the vase when the girl was in the ward, so he gently placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone, which surprised Inuzuka Yafushi.

"She likes lilies very much, so she brings lilies with her cousin every time she visits him."

"Actually it should be sunflower..."

The man muttered, and Scotland seemed not to hear him, but he agreed with him, it should be sunflower.

[After dealing with the body, I will come back to report. The address is at the bar. ]

It was already afternoon, and the gloomy weather in April was not too cold.

Calculating the time, Tokaj should still be in the research institute at this time. He didn't know if he and Bourbon were arguing again. He felt tired and an unprecedented sense of exhaustion almost overwhelmed him. The feeling of suffocation made him unable to help but open the car window to get some fresh air.

This bar is where the organization usually gathers. It is not open to the public and only receives members. Sometimes you can even see Bourbon mixing drinks here, but now there are only him and Gin, and the latter naturally has no time to do these things. And because of this accident, he doesn't seem to be in a good mood.

But rarely, he did not launch an attack to find fault with him. Scotland felt a little uncomfortable not having Britta pointing at his head.

"Like I told you, don't let this be your last mission."

The gaze was quite oppressive. His nearly two-meter height gave him an advantage when he was interrogating from above. Scotland answered readily.

"It was an accident. The circuit there was outdated. Did you expect a blind man to run out by himself?"

"Humph, I don't believe in coincidences. You'd better make sure that every word you say today is true."

This is indeed undeniable. The police found out the cause of the fire immediately, but it is useless to dwell on it now. Gin's headache is that he must hide this from Tokaj. He doesn't know what this man will do when he gets angry.

The importance of Aoi Hayamuro to Iori Hayamuro is self-evident. She is his only direct relative and his only sister.

Although this man's mind is not something that normal people can understand, from his attitude towards Shirley, we can tell that he loves his sister very much. Even though they can't see each other all the time, he still takes good care of girls of the same age.

So he must not know about this matter. We should delay it as long as possible. Missing is better than dying. Tokaj is very emotional. If the progress of the experiment is delayed because of this, the master will definitely blame him.

Who is to blame?

It can't be Tokaj, this is a sapling that the organization has carefully cultivated for five years, and the money spent on him is no less than that spent on experiments.

Whenever he felt like doing something weird, the gentleman would always give him the green light. The funds would burn up like fire, as his life was extremely valuable.

Although Gin was often so angry that he called out "Ka", he only threw things at him. The gun he threw at Tokaj was empty of bullets, and he only wanted to hit him on the head, not take his life.

Then we can only blame the action team, and perhaps the intelligence team as well.

Gin won't just sit there and watch this matter being pinned on him. He has to hide it from Tokaj, so the Yeshiva family will suppress it first. As for Scotland... he still quite recognizes this subordinate.

"How is the handling of the body going? Are you sure this mission is to be carried out in secret?"

"It's done, I'm sure."

"There is one more thing next, which is considered a long-term task—"

"Tokaj must not be informed of any information related to this matter. All his emotional states during this period must be written down in the report."

Even if Gin didn't mention Scotland, he wouldn't reveal his mission casually. His emphasis on Tokaj actually aroused the latter's curiosity.

Gin seemed to see Scotland's confusion, and he didn't intend to play dumb, "That's his sister. He can't let these things delay the progress of the experiment."

The silver-haired killer warned, and Scotland barely knew how he got back to the car.

Aoi Hamuro... Iori Hamuro...

Tokaj is her brother, which explains why the organization would go to such lengths to pay attention to a little girl and even keep the news of her death secret.

The harder we tried to find evidence to refute it, the more it confirmed the fact, and many unreasonable things were explained.

Scotland rubbed his temple in pain. He rolled up the car window and kept himself in a closed environment.

Why is this so…

In other words, Tokaj not only lost his loved one, but he also lost the chance to see her for the last time. He couldn't even hold a funeral for his sister.

Scotland had never doubted whether Tokaj was sincere in serving the organization, but now based on Gin's words, he was shaken.

Did he stay in the organization for Aoi? The organization was worried that Tokayi would delay the experiment because of his sister, which showed that the organization still did not trust Tokayi enough. Aoi's influence on him was definitely much greater than that of the organization.

If only he could save Aoi.

With emotions surging, Scotland stared at the pendant in a trance. He didn't know how to face Tokaj for a moment. He couldn't tell whether he was feeling guilty or regretful. He just felt like he had a dream.

In the department store, he clearly had the choice to save Tokaj, but he didn't, and gave Tokaj a second chance.

But no one can give Aoi a second life.

The girl who made clumsy funny expressions, who hoped that he would be happy and who still wanted to send him her blessings even though her life was already difficult enough, was burned to death in the fire.

That was the cruelest way to die. She was crying for help in the flames, and she was still weakly calling for her brother when she was entangled in the flames and burned all over. What was she thinking at that time? Was she bitterly resentful that no one came to save her?

Why did all the suffering befall her?

【the lord will bless you.】

The silver pendant seemed as hot as fire. He looked at it again and again. The inscription was as funny as a joke from hell.

Why can't we go earlier?

Sunflower should be a flower that grows towards the sun.

The girl's smile gradually overlapped with Tokaj's bright golden eyes. For her, who had been alone in the ward for many years, the only brother who would often visit her and give her bouquets of flowers was the light of sunflower.

"——He is the best brother in the world!"

She prayed to God for her brother's happiness. The golden sunlight shining on her made her look like an angel. He still remembered that he thought she was about to fly away.

"——If you don't say anything, I'll assume you're a bad guy too!"

He promised to meet her next time, he thought she would be happy, the girl's words of blessing were still echoing in his ears, everything was just a promise that could never be fulfilled.

I should have known what good would happen if I got involved with the organization.

The flames drowned the sunflowers in the light.

He really is a bad guy, how could he not be?
