The man in Conan is the mastermind behind the scenes

Kenta Nakamichi looked excited, "Yesterday at noon, a man died in the hospital in Ginza. It is said that the spleen ruptured due to a fight. The hospital did not find out the cause at first and put him in a general ward."

Hinayoshi asked in confusion, "Doesn't your lottery only count the deaths within the scope of Beika Town?"

"No, no, no, it's the famous detective index. There is no geographical restriction. As long as it is related to Kudo, it will be fine."

"What does this have to do with Kudo?"

Kenta Nakamichi glanced at the seat in front and whispered to Hotarushi's ear, "I heard, just heard Ah, the man who fought with the deceased before his death, his last name is Maori. Xiaolan happened to ask for leave yesterday, you know what I mean. "

"Oh... so Xiaolan thought that the cause of death of that person was strange, so she asked Kudo to investigate, right?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Awesome Nakamichi, you are simply a know-it-all."

"Hehehe, keep a low profile."

The bell rang, the teacher entered the classroom, and saw that there was no one absent in the class today, and nodded with satisfaction, but before he finished the class, Kudo Shinichi raised his right hand with a complicated expression, and glanced at Xiaolan from the corner of his eye.

Xiaolan did not look at Kudo Shinichi, but buried her head, as if taking notes.

The teacher had no choice but to wave his hand, let Kudo Shinichi leave, and continue the class.

Then less than ten minutes later, Xiaolan also raised her hand.

After class, looking at the two empty seats, everyone was talking and surrounded Suzuki Sonoko. But this time, no matter how they asked, Suzuki Sonoko just shook her head and said she didn't know.

"Mr. Know-it-all?" Yingsheng turned around and asked.

Nakamichi Kenta flipped through his phone for a long time, and said uncertainly: "The accident that Kudo has been investigating these days, the person involved has always insisted that the police accepted bribes from the insurance company and wants to appeal, you remember."

"Of course."

"The person involved said in the newspaper that day that she would ask the famous Eri Kisaki to fight the lawsuit for her. But Eri Kisaki responded in an interview with a gossipy reporter that the matter had not been investigated clearly and she would not take over."

"So what?"

Nakamichi Kenta flipped over his phone and revealed a photo that seemed to be taken too hastily and was a little blurry.

Computer screen, evening newspaper layout, time is today.

The tentative front-page headline is:

The Queen of the Legal World Takes Over the Sky-High Insurance Lawsuit!

Chapter 23 The Great Changes in the Mori Family

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaolan returned to the classroom with a tired face.

Suzuki Sonoko was the first to greet her, holding her hand, her eyes full of worry.

"Xiaolan, what happened? Can I help?"

Xiaolan's eyes were complicated, and she took Sonoko to the rooftop. Today, the sky was overcast and dim, and even the wind was cold.

"My father... was involved in a murder."

"What?! Uncle Maori?!"

Suzuki Sonoko looked unbelievable, "How could he? Is there any misunderstanding here?"

Xiaolan shook her head gently, "Dad had a fight with someone in the Ginza underground street the night before yesterday. Many people saw it. It was Officer Megure who detained him. Yesterday at noon in the hospital, one of the injured died because of delayed rescue."

"This..."

Suzuki Sonoko didn't know what to say when a situation she had never expected suddenly appeared in front of her. In the end, she could only mutter with some lack of confidence.

"With such a long time interval, it may not be Uncle Maori's fault. The hospital is also responsible."

"The hospital admitted that they misread the CT scan results, which led to the accident and are willing to compensate."

Suzuki Sonoko was relieved after hearing this, but she was a little confused.

"Isn't the problem solved? Xiaolan, what are you worried about? If you blame yourself, just make more humanitarian compensation to the family of the deceased.

Really, Uncle Maori did it too much. It's better for him to reflect on it in the detention center for a while...

No,

Could it be that the family of the deceased asked you for a lot of money?"

Xiaolan sighed, "The closest relative of the deceased in the legal sense is a cousin. After the police contacted her, she didn't ask for compensation at all, but just asked the police not to bother her again in the future."

Suzuki Sonoko was even more confused.

Although it is very sad that no one cares about the deceased, this is good news for the Maori family.

"So, Xiaolan is worried about Uncle Maori? In this case, he can be released on bail."

"The deceased lived with a woman before his death. When my mother went to process the bail procedures for my father, she happened to come to the Metropolitan Police Department to ask for compensation and ran into him.

She didn't get a penny from the hospital, and the identified murderer, my father, would be released soon. She felt unfair and started to make a fuss. She threatened to report to the media that the police and them were in cahoots."

Yunoko was silent.

From that person's perspective, this kind of thing seems to be unacceptable.

Xiaolan continued: "And that person is the person involved in the case that Shinichi has been investigating recently. She originally believed that there was a transfer of interests between the police and the insurance company, and wanted my mother to help her with the lawsuit.

My mother didn't agree before, and that person also hired other lawyers, which was nothing.

But in the middle of the dispute yesterday, that person recognized my mother through other people calling her name, so he linked the two things together."

"Then she made a fuss even more fiercely?"

"No, she left without saying anything at the time."

Xiaolan's tone was complicated, "She had written a suicide note last night and handed it to the newspaper. She said that the police were too dark. Her live-in boyfriend died because of the police silence. She felt that she would follow in the same footsteps, so she decided to commit suicide first."

Yuanzi was speechless again.

Stepping into the client's perspective, power and money collude to exclude her, a powerless woman...

What a desperate reality.

"Where's the letter?"

"The newspaper was intercepted by the police who were following her before she opened it, and she was taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department."

"..."

Yes, even more desperate.

"So what's the current situation? Has Uncle Maori been released on bail?"

"No."

Xiaolan's eyes dimmed: "Even if no outsiders knew about what happened yesterday, it still had a very bad impact within the Metropolitan Police Department. They decided not to allow bail until these two matters are properly handled."

"That's it..."

Yuanzi scratched her head in annoyance. Even with her carefree personality, she really had nothing to say now, so she could only accompany Xiaolan to stand and enjoy the breeze on the rooftop.

It's all Uncle Mouri's fault. He usually makes Xiaolan worry about him if he seems unreliable, but now he went to Ginza to fight with others.

Really, he is completely unqualified as a father.

Unknowingly, the bell rang for the first class in the afternoon, and Yuanzi felt an inexplicable sense of relief. Then I blamed myself hard and said sorry to Xiaolan in my heart.

She really, really wanted to help her best friend, but she really couldn't do anything about this.

"In short, those two things were just accidents and coincidences, right? They will be solved smoothly later." Yuanzi said with a smile as he pulled Xiaolan downstairs.

Xiaolan paused slightly, then returned to normal before Yuanzi noticed, smiling softly.

"Well, it will definitely be solved."

"Xiaolan, you have to educate Uncle Maoli well from now on, so that he doesn't get into any trouble again."

"Don't worry Yuanzi, I will definitely punish you severely."

In a blink of an eye, school was over again, and Yingsheng had just stretched when he felt a burning gaze.

He turned his head and looked, Xiaolan was holding a karate uniform and waving to him, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

Gee, is this self-inflicted?

"Senior, if you want to vent your frustration, go to the telephone pole. My small body can't bear it."

"Come on, there's chocolate."

"Haha, are you coaxing a child?"

"Just say whether you want it or not."

"..."

Yingsheng had no choice but to stand up and pick up all the equipment.

"Remember to hold back a little bit."

"Never."

The two left the classroom side by side. Looking at their backs as if no one was talking to each other, all the classmates looked at each other.

Is there something wrong with this situation?

What about Kudo?

Come out and save me!

"Kacha!"

The clear sound of a pencil breaking resounded through the quiet classroom. A group of people all looked at the source of the sound. Suzuki Sonoko, who looked gloomy, stood up and left without saying a word.

Now everyone's spirit of gossip became more intense, and they were talking about what was going on with these three people.

Only Nakamichi Kenta calmly picked up his backpack and went out to sell lottery tickets.

Kudo, please work harder.

In assisting the police in solving crimes.

On the other side, after leaving everyone's sight, Yingsheng, who was talking and laughing with Xiaolan, immediately closed his mouth, accelerated his pace, and turned towards the back school gate.

Xiaolan froze and looked at Yingsheng's back, her eyes trembling slightly, but she didn't speak after all.

She wanted to catch up and apologize, but her legs seemed to be nailed in place, unable to move at all.

"Xiaolan, that guy Shuiyue Yingsheng is a scumbag, don't be fooled by him!"

From behind, Suzuki Sonoko chased after him menacingly.

Xiaolan turned back stiffly, glanced at her best friend, and then turned to look at Yingsheng's back. His steps did not slow down at all, nor did he look back.

"Did he leave? Well, I guess he still has some self-awareness."

Yuanzi walked to Xiaolan, glanced at Yingsheng's back, and wanted to pull Xiaolan away.

But no pull.

Yuanzi pursed her lips tightly and made up her mind, "Xiaolan, I didn't want to tell you this."

Chapter 24 Xiaolan wants to know the truth

After Suzuki Sonoko told her what she knew about Suigetsu Yingsheng's true identity, Xiaolan was silent for a long time.

"Xiaolan, let's go shopping." Yuanzi said.

"It's been a long time since we went shopping together. Let's go relax today. There's a delicious dessert shop opened in 1-chome."

She gently pulled Xiaolan again.

Xiaolan finally looked back, looked at Yuanzi, and smiled.

"Thank you Yuanzi for the invitation. I also want to go shopping, but the competition is only seven days away. Even if I don't practice more, I still need to maintain a good competitive state."

"Yes, hehe..."

Yuanzi smiled mischievously, "Xiaolan must have other purposes for working so hard."
