Conan Moslin

Chapter 35 Monthly Gift (6) - Shock

When Inspector Megure and his men arrived, they saw a rather confusing scene.

In the middle of a somewhat desolate park, a broad-faced man was slumped on the ground. His face was dull and his entire face was buried in a shadow. His hands were tied with a blue ribbon, and there seemed to be a thin bloodstain on his right hand, which had already dried. Next to the broad-faced man, there was a man with slightly slanted eyebrows, also with a guilty and hopeless look on his face. If it was autumn, the background behind these two people must have fallen leaves swaying down, plus some bleak wind sounds.

Next to the two middle-aged men stood a young girl about twenty years old. She kept preaching to the two men, but her tone was not as excited as her expression.

Yuko: We’ve been talking for so long, why did the police just come now? I’m so tired of talking.

A little further away, Maori Kogoro was standing next to a trash can smoking one cigarette after another, as if he would smoke until the end of time. But when he saw the police coming, he extinguished the cigarette in his mouth and came over.

Not far away on the ground, three children were playing with a small airplane together, and two girls were standing nearby chatting. When one of the children saw the police coming, he immediately dusted himself off, stood up and ran over.

"Ah...it's brother Mori...and Xiaolan and Conan are here too." Inspector Megure greeted them in a familiar manner.

It was already around five in the afternoon and the sun was setting. It gets dark early in winter and it would be dark in two hours.

Officer Megure saw the relieved looks from Mr. Ogino and Dr. Ogawa, and felt helpless, so he asked Officer Takagi to handcuff Ogino.

Officer Sato walked towards Kuroba Kuriyasu and said she was going to take his statement, but she actually had some questions to ask.

In the train incident, there has been no news of the two men in black who had boarded the Shinkansen to conduct transactions. She wanted to ask Li An about their facial features.

According to what Conan said before, Kuroba Kurian witnessed their transaction directly while eating in the No. 8 dining car. But she didn't know it was an illegal transaction at the time, so she didn't report it.

Li An thought about it and said that he could not remember clearly because several days had passed. He simply described the two people's figures: one was burly and the other was thin.

Officer Sato kept these two pieces of information in mind.

At the end of the private questioning, Officer Sato suddenly asked her casually: "You went to Nagoya that day. I'm curious about what you did?"

"Oh, that day, after I got off the bus, I went shopping... and bought some tempura rice balls. They tasted pretty good..."

Li An knew that this was a test and thought that she was simply asking about her life. After a little thought, he calmly summarized what Yuko had said in the villa and got away with it.

Seeing how calm and composed Li An was, Officer Sato felt relieved.

Soon, the police took Ogino back to the police station, and the others went home.

Ryuo and Yuta have established a revolutionary friendship that spans two years, and agree to play together in the future. Yuta's father, Dr. Ogawa, looks at Yuta and Ryuo making promises to each other with a bitter face, and looks at Ryuo's sister, Yuko Sora, cautiously, and decides not to let the child go to see Ryuo at least for this period of time.

He needed to take some time to relax and didn't want to see this girl anymore.

Li An followed Youzi to her villa. On the way, Li An took Youzi to the store, intending to order more food for today's hero, Citron.

She also suggested that Yuko discuss with her parents, housekeeper and others to change Ryusuke's kindergarten.

That kindergarten is really... They let people take the children away without asking any questions clearly. It's scary.

So, Dr. Ogawa's worries are unnecessary.

Of course, if two children really want to be friends, this kind of barrier is useless, right?

……

When they were on the Golden-stained Street, Conan was scared half to death.

On the way, Conan said thankfully: "It's great that it didn't turn into a serious incident."

Although Miss Yuko was indeed a little emotional, at least she did not do anything violent.

Maori Kogoro propped his chin with his hand, frowning and thinking: "But why did he spend two years sending money and toys?"

"He must be waiting for Yuta to grow up to five years old. Because when Tomoya died three years ago, he was just five years old." Conan spoke out his thoughts. As soon as he said this, he felt his hair stand on end and a pair of eyes were fixed on him.

Maori Kogoro touched his palm with his fist without noticing anything: "Oh~ I see."

"You are truly a famous reasoning expert~" A sentence with a fluctuating tone came out of Mouri Ran's mouth, and Mouri Kogoro quickened his pace slightly.

Conan touched the back of his head which felt a little cold, turned around and said with a smile: "Haha, but I'm just a child... I don't know clearly..."

Then he seemed to suddenly remember something and ran away immediately. Before leaving, he waved to Mao Li and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I'm leaving first!"

In a blink of an eye, the small figure disappeared.

"What on earth is that kid doing..." Kogoro muttered to himself in confusion.

Ran Mao Li's expression was very serious, revealing anger and a little confusion.

I... probably didn't push him too hard, did I? Mao Lilan thought.

……

In the evening, when Mao Lilan was tidying up in the office, the door was pushed open.

"I'm back~" Conan walked in holding a notebook and asked Mao Lilan: "Hey? Where's Uncle Mao Li?"

Mao Lilan raised her waist from sorting files and said to Conan with a smile: "You are back. You must be hungry. What do you want to eat today?"

Conan nodded and sat on the sofa: "Yeah!"

Mao Lilan asked him casually: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Kishida, who teaches physical education, seems to be getting married!"

"Ah... that gorilla teacher..." Conan said casually.

Bang! A loud noise sounded, Conan looked up and saw Mao Lilan closing the door with her fist. She frowned and asked, "Why do you know about my high school teacher, Conan?"

Conan said in a panic: "I just heard you say that. You always call him a gorilla. I..."

"You're lying!" Mao Lilan put her hands on her hips, half seriously and half pretending to frown and said sternly, "I've always felt it was very strange, you must be Shinichi!"

Conan spread his hands, looking at a loss: "This, this, this..."

Mao Lilan gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, just admit it, Shinichi!"

Ring...the phone is ringing.

Conan quickly changed the subject: "There is...a phone call."

"Just forget about the phone!"

"But……"

Mao Lilan had a premonition in her heart: "Okay, okay, I'll go answer the phone."

"Hello, this is the Maori Detective Agency." She said in a deep voice.
