Conan's Helping People

193 Chapter 184

It was so obvious that Hinata was reasonably happy.

It's like the blue sky and white clouds that have been calm for a long time. Suddenly, the clouds parted and a big sun shone down.

On the way back with him, Hirota Masami has been keenly observing everywhere, trying to find some traces on the road, such as traces of fighting, such as traces of fresh blood.

But there was nothing, the whole journey was calm and uneventful, the underground parking lot was quiet, and the surrounding scenes were normal.

It's as if Hyuga Ryo didn't do anything, just jump around alive and well.

But before hanging up the phone, the sharp wind came from the other end of the phone...

Seemingly aware that she was a little silent and absent-minded, after pressing the elevator, Hinata reasonably comforted her softly, "Don't worry."

She looked up.

"Although the surveillance in the underground parking lot is broken, the surveillance above is not broken, and it clearly captured me coming down with him," Hinata stated calmly, "He won't die before we leave here of."

"It will take about three or four hours... If the police can find him, and it is not defined as a suicide case, and if they are willing to perform an autopsy, his death time will be three hours later, and we all have an alibi."

'he'.

Explain that the person who rides the elevator with Ryo Hinata is a man.

Think back to what the other party said clearly before, "The underground parking lot is very dark, and the surveillance is broken. Let me pick you up, sister", and things became clearer.

In places with surveillance, Hinata should not force others to take the elevator with him in a big way, but the other party can follow with ill intentions.

"Okay." After a moment of hesitation, Masami Hirota simply answered.

After confirming that the other party was a man, she no longer scanned Hinata Ryo's whole body, but concentrated on scanning Hinata Ryo's shoulders and knees.

There was no dust or other strange traces in those two places, which meant that Hinata was not injured.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

To the perceptive mind, it was all too obvious that Hinata was reasonably happy.

He walked back to the restaurant with Hirota Masami, and as soon as he caught Matsuda Jinpei and the others in the restaurant, Matsuda Jinpei stood up and waved.

When walking over, the other party poured two glasses of juice and asked casually, "What happened, why are you so happy?"

"Nothing," Hyuga Ryo replied casually, and looked at Masami Hirota again, "Is it obvious?"

Since it is a dinner party of a social nature, of course it is not a group of acquaintances and acquaintances, but men sit in a row alone, and women sit in a row alone, sitting on both sides of the long table.

He and Masami Hirota sat in the innermost, next to the wall.

On the other side of Hirota Masami is a sassy-looking woman with short hair, next to him is Matsuda Jinpei, and a little further to the side is Hagiwara Kenji.

The other party glanced at Matsuda Jinhei who was smiling politely and staring at him, stretched out a hand to cover his mouth from the side, and then replied softly: "Obviously, the mouth is rising and the eyes are bending."

But it's very slight, so slight that if a stranger looks at it, he will feel that Hinata is reasonable or has a calm and indifferent expression, and because his face is a little pale, he feels a little world-weary.

Hinata touched his eyes and mouth rationally, but couldn't find any difference, so he could only nod his head, pretending to understand, "I see."

Hirota Masami bent her eyes, and the short-haired woman next to her also looked over with a smile and said hello, "Hi, hello, you are Mr. Hinata, right? I have known you for a long time."

stranger.

"Hello," Hinata replied in a reasonable and polite manner, and continued to be politely puzzled, "Do you know me?"

"I heard about you from Yui," the other party said with a smile, "Uehara Yui is a police officer in Nagano Prefecture. When she came to Tokyo to help, we worked together for a while."

Yui Uehara was also an unfamiliar name.

But Nagano Prefecture is very familiar, so familiar that Hinata Ryo immediately saw a Samoyed colleague who was "squatting on the ground and smiling like an angel". The dog's fur was white, but it was full of bad water, like a fluffy black dog. Sesame glutinous rice balls.

His expression became polite again in an instant, "I see."

"Cough...cough cough," Matsuda Jinhei next to him made a suspicious low cough, handed over another cup, and raised his voice, "Hey, why doesn't Xiao Hinata drink fruit juice? Doesn't he like it? Why don't you change it to a glass of plain water?" .”

After finishing speaking, he quickly lowered his voice while pouring water, and urgently reminded in the sound of pouring water, "It is the female police officer in the shrine case. There must be only one police officer involved in that case, and she almost became a suspect. "

Shrine case, female police officers.

After thinking for a while, Hinata rationally remembered who 'Uehara Yui' was, the lady police officer who chased him out after solving the case and asked him questions.

After returning to the car, he seriously fooled his blond colleague.

However, he gestured with his eyes and asked Matsuda Jinpei: 'Why, would you know? '

After pouring water, we can no longer whisper in secret, Matsuda Jinpei sat back as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that their side had returned to normal, the short-haired woman on the opposite side continued: "However, I was a little puzzled at first, Yuyi said that you were very kind, but in that mystery novel, you were very indifferent, and there were almost two people. "

"Before I saw you again, I couldn't imagine that 'kindness' and 'indifference' could be so harmonious in one person."

While speaking, the other party smiled with his chin propped up.

Hyuga rationally extracts the key points slowly:

One, the other party knows his black history, that is, the shrine case, and Yui Uehara should have described it in detail to the other party.

Second, push, reason, small, and talk.

If there is no accident, this so-called mystery novel is the one that was sent to Hinata's house before, and Matsuda Jinpei has also read it.

Moreover, I don't know what is written in it. After reading it, the curly-haired police dog will make even more strange barking sounds, such as 'God Detective'.

... All things with reasoning elements, such as detectives and mystery novels, are overly exaggerated and even valued too much. This is the social atmosphere here. He apologized as well.

He turned his head sideways and glanced at the eavesdropping curly-haired police dog.

The other party is still wearing sunglasses, holding a teacup in his hand, not looking this way, as if he is listening to another bunch of people's topics instead of paying attention to this side.

The requirements for police dogs are very strict, for example, they must be standing-eared dogs.

If those dog ears hadn't been standing straight up, trying to lean in this way, the disguise of pretending that he wasn't eavesdropping at all would have been more perfect.

After withdrawing his gaze, Hinata reasonably proposed a topic, "Mystery novel?"

"Hey," the short-haired policewoman was surprised, "Don't you know?"

"Ms. Mystery Writer wrote to me, but I just came back from Nagano recently and I'm a little busy, so..." He paused.

"Miss Mystery Writer?" The other party repeated the title, and laughed again, "What an interesting title."

This address is very polite, but full of unfamiliarity, so there is a subtle sense of alienation and weirdness, but it does not make people feel that they are indifferently rejected, but that the person who can call this address must be that kind of person. He pays attention to the distance between people and has a cold personality, but wants to get closer.

After laughing, she explained the reason for her laughter.

Hinata nodded politely again, improving his politeness.

I don't understand it, but I respect it.

Hirota Masami finished drinking the juice in the glass, then raised her hand lightly, "Mr. Matsuda, can you pass me the water bottle?"

Matsuda Jinpei immediately raised the kettle, "Let me pour it for you."

Leaning on one side, he naturally glanced at the smiling policewoman with short hair, and received the polite eyes of the other party looking at the obstacles, so he nodded politely, and took advantage of the situation to look at Hinata.

Okay, this guy here is not looking at obstacles, but looking at silly dogs.

Moreover, I don't know when, the person holding the cup to receive the water is already reasonable.

Sensing that the other party was looking over, Hinata explained reasonably, "If you hold water in a cup, you might get scalded."

After receiving it, he handed the water glass to Hirota Masami, and followed her gaze to the short-haired policewoman.

The two sides sat back down again.

The short-haired policewoman silently adjusted her posture, raised her eyebrows again, and did not speak for a while.

In the subtle look at each other, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

"?" Hinata reasonably sniffed the atmosphere, put a question mark in doubt, and continued the topic, "Very interesting evaluation, thank you for the compliment."

Although he didn't understand the contradictory words of 'cold but wanting to be approached' at all.

He focused on the key points, "So, what kind of story does that mystery novel tell?"

So, what was written in that book?
Ryo Hinata only read the beginning of the book in the bookstore, and knew that it was the background of the shrine, and the protagonist was a priestess, but he didn't know what happened next, and he didn't know what was mixed in it that could mislead dogs.

It can't be catnip, can it?Matsuda Jinpei is not a cat.

"Hmm..." The short-haired policewoman groaned in embarrassment, and her eyes were inversely proportional to the embarrassment in her tone.

There was a certain kind of smile brewing in her eyes, and she tried her best to restrain it from gushing out of her eyes and appearing at the corners of her lips. She tried to be serious and said: "It tells a very tragic murder case. , so take revenge on the deceased and kill the other party with the shark.”

"The police officers at that time did not find any evidence, nor did they find out who the murderer was. They only made it an unsolved case that was temporarily in trouble."

This is background setting.

It sounded nothing special. Hinata listened carefully. He glanced at Jinhei Matsuda from the corner of his eye and found that the other party was staring at this side. He glanced at Masami Hirota from the corner of his corner of the eye and found that the other party was also staring at this side.

... staring at each other?
"Ahem," the short-haired policewoman suppressed her smile again, and continued to speak in a serious manner, "The protagonist is a witch. If you call him by the name of Mr. Reasonable, it should be Miss Miko?"

"It's such a distant and intimate title, it's cute."

"Little Hinata, would you like some tea?" Matsuda Jinpei, one of the spectators, asked.

"Ri-kun, can I drink your juice book?" The second observer, Masami Hirota, also sent a question.

Is there something wrong with these two people?
Hyuga Ryo left the topic for a while, looked at the two people sitting next to him and opposite him, and then unified the two questions, and answered briefly: "I'll just drink plain water."

He pushed the juice to Hirota Masami, took another sip of plain water, and said that he was drinking water and didn't need to change his drink again, so he continued to look at the police lady diagonally opposite.

The other party smiled brightly, even happier than the normal-looking Matsuda Jinpei.

When he noticed that he was looking over, the other party immediately suppressed his smile and continued to speak in a serious manner, "Miss Witch went to pick up a guest who came from afar to visit the deceased, and that guest was a minor."

"While taking the minor to visit various places, Miss Miko gradually became curious about the minor."

"A kind of curiosity that cannot be controlled at all."

Got it, it's love.

Hinata nodded rationally, and glanced at the two bystanders, and found that they were all staring at him.

he:"……?"

He didn't know why, so he answered at the right time, "Is it love?"

Is it because he has been listening silently and not answering, that's why he stared at him?

Then why did he stare even harder after he answered?

"Love? Maybe." The short-haired policewoman continued with a bright smile. "During the visit, they encountered a poisonous snake. The minor discovered it in time and stopped Miss Miko to prevent her from being bitten."

"Another group of people was bitten by a poisonous snake. After the minors asked about the characteristics of the snake, they found herbal medicine nearby, sucked out the poisonous blood of the injured person, applied medicine to the wound, and popularized the characteristics of that kind of poisonous snake. The life of an unlucky passerby."

"During the break in the middle of the visit, the minor taught Miss Miko how to take care of her hands, making her palms softer and smoother."

"During the climb, Miss Miko sprained her ankle. The minor dealt with it urgently and helped carry her down the mountain."

This.

Listening, Hinata was lost in thought.

Are the current minors so omnipotent?Knowing about poisonous snakes, treating wounds, and sprained ankles is fine, but how can you know how to make your palms softer and smoother...

"They walked in the countryside together, breathed fresh air together, talked about topics they were interested in, and discussed the murder case together."

"During this process, Ms. Miko's curiosity about minors has gradually skyrocketed," said the short-haired policewoman. "She thought, what exactly is a minor?"

After finishing speaking, she paused, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and added, "Well, speaking of which, I was also very curious about you before."

Hinata nodded rationally and asked, "What is the identity of that minor?"

The description 'underage' does not mean...

He always felt that he had guessed it, but he was a little reluctant to admit it.

The short-haired policewoman picked up the water glass, took a sip, then laughed and coughed while drinking.

She quickly tidied herself up and said seriously: "Miss Miko asked the same way. On the night of parting from each other, they stood on the railing between the mountains and watched the brilliant fireworks in the sky. She asked, 'Sir, what are you doing? What identity?'."

"It's the fireworks for the sacrifice," Matsuda Jinpei politely raised a hand next to him, and interjected as tactfully as possible, "That day was the day when the god was buried, so the fireworks in the town were set off to worship him, not the fireworks for the fireworks festival."

Yes, what, the difference?
Hinata nodded reasonably and politely, "I see."

"Yes, it's not the fireworks of love," the short-haired policewoman continued to laugh, "Miss Miko continued to ask, 'You know a lot of knowledge, although you look indifferent, you are a good person, and you have always cared about me. You are a medical student. ?'."

"The minor replied: 'Doctor? No, I'm a detective.'"

The short-haired policewoman smiled and lowered her voice, trying to calm down, "I am a commissioned detective, and I came to Nagano County to investigate an old case... However, when I arrived, the murderer had already died gone."

……

Hinata tried his best to maintain his expression, not to let the picture appear in his mind, and not to let himself be overwhelmed by embarrassment, he said dryly: "Hmm..."

"Ms. Miko's face suddenly turned pale." The short-haired policewoman glanced at him with a smile, "Mr. Underage Detective continued, but it doesn't matter, I have already found the murderer who killed the murderer, and I can complete this commission." gone."

She clapped her hands briskly, "At this point, the clue chapter is over, and the next is the detective's reasoning time, which is also the author's provocation to the readers." I have already explained all the clues of the murder case. Can you solve it? '."

While talking, the short-haired policewoman showed a troubled expression again, "But it's too difficult. In the first week, my boyfriend and I fought madly for a long time, and we didn't even guess who the murderer was."

Miss Miko?The message is obvious.

Hinata remained silent, waiting for the short-haired policewoman to announce the murderer.

The onlookers were a little surprised, and Matsuda Jinping blurted out: "Boyfriend???"

"Wait, you have a boyfriend?"

Masami Hirota also repeated in surprise: "Do you have a boyfriend?"

The short-haired policewoman blinked her left eye and said with a bright smile, "Of course, my boyfriend is an adult."
