Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 141 Bullets Loaded at Dusk 20

The man and Tong were chatting happily, while the others here felt more and more confused because of Hase's words. At the same time, they also felt that this person was more suspicious. Even if he was not the murderer, he must know something.

Just after Hase said that no one other than the police was allowed to get involved in the case, Inspector Megure looked a little conflicted.

Among the news that Shiratori just brought back, there was a piece of news that the Ishihara family requested that if the police wanted to investigate the case freely on the ship, they must let Kogoro Mori participate.

Officer Megure, who originally wanted to handle the two cases together, made a decision in his heart. He looked at Hase and said, "I understand Mr. Hase's request. Mr. Kikuchi's case will be handled by our police force and no outsiders will be involved."

"Inspector..."

Shiratori originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Officer Megure's expression, he instantly realized his leader's thoughts. He immediately shut up and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

"Inspector Megure..."

Although Shiratori understood what Inspector Megure meant, Maori Kogoro did not. He looked at Inspector Megure with a serious expression, "This case..."

"Brother Mori, what Mr. Hase said makes sense. We should just hand over Mr. Shintaro Kikuchi's case to our police." Inspector Megure looked at Kogoro Mori and specifically pointed out Shintaro Kikuchi.

He also wanted to see why Mr. Hase deliberately did not allow Brother Mori to participate in this case, so he decided to follow his other party's ideas first.

At this time, Sato Miwako, who had just gone out to investigate, also came back. Her voice interrupted Hase Kaname's ridicule of the police and detectives, "Inspector Megure!"

Miwako Sato strode into the room. When she saw the people in the room, she was not as surprised as Officer Shiratori had been before. It seemed that she had known that there were so many familiar people.

She nodded to the familiar people in the room and walked a few steps to Officer Megure. "I have already checked everything you asked me to check."

Officer Megure nodded at her, "What was the result?"

It was not known whether Sato Miwako was used to it or whether Inspector Megure had hinted at something, but she did not whisper to Inspector Megure alone about her investigation results like Shiratori did, but instead said it directly in front of everyone.

"According to the investigation, Mr. Kugiya, Mr. Harada, and Mr. Miyakawa all have alibis for the time of the crime last night, and more than one person can testify."

After saying this, Sato Miwako glanced at the familiar people in the room and said, "Also, Mr. Amuro and Ms. Akikawa's alibis have been confirmed. The surveillance cameras at the water park entrance on the 17th floor, the music waterfall entrance, the elevator on the 24th floor, and the corridor leading to the deck on the 24th floor clearly captured their figures entering and leaving.

Also, the time that Xiaolan and the other two will take the children to and from the water park has been confirmed, which is the same time Conan said.

Everyone's alibi at the time of the crime has been confirmed. Gao Mu is now looking for witnesses to the conflict between the deceased and everyone yesterday according to the results of the previous inquiries. "

Hase tried to interrupt Sato Miwako but failed because she spoke too fast, "Inspector Megure!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hase, she doesn't know what just happened."

Inspector Megure looked at Sato Miwako pretentiously and said, "Sato, you don't need to worry about this case anymore. Just follow Shiratori."

"Inspector?" Sato was confused for a moment, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded and said, "Hai!"

She was very smart and quick to react, and this was not the first time she had encountered such a thing, so she agreed without hesitation.

Inspector Megure winked at Shiratori, and then said to everyone in the room: "Since your alibis have been confirmed, we will not waste your time for now. When the case progresses, we may need your cooperation in other areas. We hope you can continue to cooperate with us then."

The smart people in the room basically understood what Inspector Megure meant, and everyone nodded.

People who don’t understand are also very willing to cooperate with the police and naturally expressed that they will definitely cooperate.

Officer Megure certainly would not forget Mr. Hase's previous request, and he reminded him again, "By the way, I hope you can keep the scene today and Mr. Kikuchi's death confidential."

After Officer Megure finished speaking, Officer Shiratori brought up another topic, as if he had just remembered it, "By the way, Mr. Maori, Mr. Ishihara and Mrs. Ishihara asked me to convey this to you.

They said that after this is resolved, they hope to meet with you, and they have something else they want to discuss with you regarding the case they entrusted you with. "

Now, even the still depressed Kogoro Mori finally understood that the "family members" were preventing the investigation of Shintaro Kikuchi's case, but there was another case that required Kogoro Mori's participation. As for whether there was any subtle connection between this case and Shintaro Kikuchi's case?

There must be "no" connection for the time being. The suspects in the other case all have alibis, so these two cases are definitely unrelated!

"Hai!"

Maori Kogoro instantly perked up, "Then Inspector, I will leave first."

Inspector Megure, a veteran on the front line, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Maori Kogoro finally understood what he meant. He nodded, "Okay."

After saying that, he looked at Hase on the side and said, "Mr. Hase, I have some other questions that need your answers."

Seeing that Kogoro Mori had been rejected, Hase, who felt that he had completed his mission, relaxed a lot. He also wanted to solve the case quickly and catch the murderer so that he could give an explanation to the congressman.

So after hearing what Inspector Megure said, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

Maori Kogoro, who had already understood what Inspector Megure was hinting at, walked up to Maori Ran and the others, "Ran."

Mao Lilan noticed that her father was worried about her, and she smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry about your work, we will be fine."

"Yes, uncle, don't worry!" Suzuki Sonoko also said with a smile.

"Contact me immediately if anything happens."

But even after saying this, Maori Kogoro was still a little worried. He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you just come with me first? We can have breakfast together later."

Although it was not too early, they had not had breakfast yet because of the case. Without waiting for the children to answer, he took out his cell phone and walked out the door to make a call. He had to say hello to the Ishihara family before bringing people over.

The three girls looked at each other and knew that Kogoro Mouri was still worried about their safety and was afraid that they would meet someone like the deceased again.

Looking at her father who had already walked out of the room, Mao Lilan looked at Akikawa Sarina who was at the outermost of the crowd, "Ms. Akikawa, do you want to go with us?"

"I won't go with you. I plan to have someone send breakfast to my room later, and then I'll take a rest after eating."

Akikawa Sarana naturally refused. First, she still had things to investigate, and this was a good opportunity to separate from them without having to continue to act shy. Second, she didn't have a good impression of the Ishihara couple and didn't want to meet their sanctimonious couple.

Hearing her say that she wanted to rest, the others did not force her. Maori Kogoro also finished his phone call and returned to the room to ask everyone to leave with him.

It just so happened that Akikawa Sarana was traveling with them for a short distance, so they left together.

Also leaving with them were Officer Shiratori and Officer Sato.

Miwako Sato walked beside Sarana Akikawa. She was still a little curious about Miss Akikawa.

Noticing the other person's gaze towards her, Akikawa Sarana turned her head to look at the heroic female police officer.

Miwako Sato smiled at Akikawa Sarana in a friendly manner, and then she said, "What a pity, this time Officer Hagiwara and Officer Matsuda got the lottery to stay behind. It's rare that this business trip is on such a beautiful cruise ship, and Miss Akikawa is here, otherwise you could have spent some time together during the break."

The few people who are on good terms with each other in the Investigation Section 1 know that Hagiwara, Matsuda and Akikawa Sarana are friends, but of course they only think that the three of them are good friends.

Akikawa Sarana suddenly realized, "So you guys are drawing lots?"

Miwako Sato couldn't help laughing when she thought of the expressions of the three people who drew the tickets to stay behind.

Hearing her laugh, Shiratori, who was a little closer to the front, thought of the scene at that time and laughed too.

Shiratori turned around and joined the conversation, "Yes, Hagiwara, Matsuda, and Chiba drew the tickets to stay behind, and the three of us drew the tickets to go on a business trip."

Normally, they would definitely not want to go on business trips, but this kind of business trip on a luxury cruise ship, especially with reimbursement, is something they are willing to do, even if they have to write a lot of reports after going out to handle a case.

Akikawa Sarana's eyes flashed with a smile, "No wonder they sounded so resentful when I asked them if they had time to rest. It turns out they just had bad luck."

[Host, you three Xiao Xunran have such bad luck.] The system that heard the conversation between the three people also complained in Akikawa Sarina's head.

[Yeah, they are all equally bad.] Akikawa Sarana sighed inwardly. She hadn’t shaken hands with Ms. Maori yet. She would have to find an opportunity to shake hands and draw a card later!

Suzuki Sonoko, who was walking a little ahead, also heard the conversation of the people behind. She turned around to look for Amuro Toru and saw that he was not following Akikawa Sarina.

She "quietly" approached Toru Amuro, and when he looked at her, she winked at him, indicating that he should care about Akikawa Sarina.

But unexpectedly, Toru Amuro just smiled and shook his head at her.

Everyone walked to the corner and Akikawa Sarina was about to go downstairs. After saying goodbye to everyone, she walked towards the elevator.

[Tongzi, help me listen to what they have to say. ]

【Good host. 】

Her mission this time is most likely related to the commission that Kogoro Mori accepted. She doesn't want to see the Ishiharas, but she still has Tomoko with her. With so many people together, the Ishiharas can only meet everyone in the conference room or the restaurant on the 25th floor, and Tomoko should not be blocked.

And she only needed to know the general idea; her purpose was just to confirm the direction of her next investigation.

Everyone who had assisted Amuro Toru and Akikawa Sarina looked at Amuro Toru and found that he was just watching Akikawa Sarina walk into the elevator with a smile on his face. Although everyone was wondering why the two of them had so little communication today, they were just confused and no one asked.

They can be assisting and can gossip, but there must be limits. If they overdo it, they will be disliked.

Shiratori and Sato were also confused, but their doubts were different from others. They were wondering why everyone was looking at Mr. Amuro? What happened?

......

Just as Akikawa Sarana guessed, the Ishihara couple, who had been asked in advance by Mori Kogoro, received everyone in a conference room on the 25th floor. Knowing that everyone had been busy with cases since early morning and had not even had breakfast, they also asked Kogoro Mori and had someone prepare breakfast.

By the time everyone walked to the meeting room, breakfast was almost ready.

When they arrived at the conference room, Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran consciously walked to the back of the conference room where breakfast was placed. Conan and Sera Masumi did not insist on following Mouri Kogoro, as they could hear clearly from this distance anyway.

Kogoro Mori, along with Toru Amuro and police officers Shiratori and Sato, sat opposite the Ishihara couple.

After everyone was seated, Ishihara Yuki, the head of Ishihara Kisen Co., Ltd., looked at Shiratori first, "Officer Shiratori, have you told Mr. Mori about what happened before?"

"not yet."

Shiratori shook his head. He originally wanted to have Officer Megure tell Mr. Mori, but he didn't expect Mr. Hase to make such a request. "Mr. Kikuchi's secretary, Mr. Hase, refused to allow Mr. Mori to continue to participate in the investigation of Mr. Kikuchi's case, and also refused to allow the police to disclose any information to Mr. Mori."

Ishihara Yuuki, a veteran in the shopping mall, instantly understood what the police meant. Having something to hide, he naturally did not care about it and nodded to indicate that he understood.

He temporarily changed what he was originally going to say to Kogoro Mori in his mind.
