Chapter 193: The Unexpected Man

"Strange, why hasn't Kaoru come back yet?" Conan muttered to himself in the room, looking puzzled. Yes, it's been almost two hours since he called Xiaolan. Conan, who had finished the call, had washed up and changed into his pajamas, but he hadn't seen Kaoru back for so long. So Annai couldn't stop, Conan walked downstairs to the office, and when he opened the door, what he saw was not the conversation between Xiaolan and Kaoru, but Xiaolan alone cleaning up the two teacups on the table that were still scattered.

"Sister Xiaolan, what are you doing here?" Conan wondered, is there still anyone visiting at this time?

"Eh, Conan, haven't you slept yet?" said Ran as she straightened the table. "Clean up the tea set, Kaoru's mother just came to visit and brought Kaoru home. ”

"Nani?!" Conan's eyes shrank suddenly.

"Yes, it's a pity that you didn't see Conan, Kaoru's mother is a beautiful beauty~" Xiaolan looked yearning.

"This, that's a pity. Conan feigned composure. "Well, I'll go back to sleep first. ”

"Well, good night, oh Conan. Xiaolan didn't suspect anything, but smiled softly at Conan.

"Well, good night, Sister Xiaolan. With that, Conan hurried back to his room. After closing the door, a phone call came.

"Moses Moses, what's wrong Conan?" my unscrupulous voice came over the other side of the phone.

"You're still asking what's wrong, where have you been!" Conan dissatisfied.

"Investigate the case, or else?" I smiled. "Didn't we have a gambling agreement, if you find the prisoner first, I will stop doing it, and if I find the prisoner first, you can't restrict my freedom. ”

"You're back to your intelligence boss?" Conan frowned.

"How is it possible, I don't have time to go over such a long distance. I just want to leave for a while and investigate the case myself. I joked. "Oh, of course, I will also fulfill my promise, and I will not do anything during the period, so you can check it with confidence. But you also have to beware, the speed of my investigation alone is several times faster than yours. ”

"You ......" Conan was furious.

"Okay, I'll hang up if there's nothing to do. Rest early, Mr. Detective. After that, I hung up the phone without giving Conan the slightest chance to speak, and at the same time lay down beside Shizuru and stretched out widely.

"Huh...... Kudo, this kid, it's really true. I yawned and said helplessly. "Okay, Sister Jingliu, I'm going to get busy, don't play anymore...... Woooooooo ”

"Don't~ let the family hug it again~" Shizuru seems to have a little love for me who has become smaller. Keep rubbing in my arms. Maybe it's really been a long time since we've seen each other.

A few minutes later, I finally managed to break free from Jingliu's embrace, and walked downstairs to see the three Ning Xue sisters sitting in front of three computers, busy non-stop.

"Guys, it's a good job. I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when I saw the busy figures of the three of them, and after they went home, I went upstairs to take a shower, and they were also preparing for my supper. After that, I went upstairs to rest with Jingliu, and the three sisters of the Ning family were arranged by me to sort out some data, if it wasn't for Conan suddenly calling me, I guess I would have to sleep a little longer. "How's it going?"

"Yes. Ning Xue, replied. "We hacked into the police station's database through an informant from the Rice Flower Police Station and retrieved information about Murakami from the archives. As she spoke, Ning Xue pulled up a series of data about Murakami. "Murakami was arrested for homicide ten years ago, and during his time in prison, he served well, and there was no violation of discipline, and everything was normal. ”

"In other words, are you really repentant?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Let's just say that. Ning Xue thought about it. The murder was said to have been his fault in a fit of rage, and the hostage-taking incident was even more carried away by fear, and at the end of his sentence, he repeatedly hoped to find Kogoro Mori and apologize to him in person. It's a pity that Mori Kogoro had already resigned at that time. ”

"Hmm......" Listening to Ning Xue's words, I thought for a while. It seems that Murakami does not have hatred for his father, but there is a sense of gratitude, of course, this does not exclude that Murakami is very forbearing, but if he had this forbearance, how could he get carried away with anger back then? If it was the former, where did he go after he was released from prison? Why would anyone want to blame him? But if this is the case, the attack on Dad and Mom, Officer Twilight and Dr. Asa can be explained, and the prisoner really only wanted to kill a few of the thirteen people. Everything else is a disguise.

――――――――――― Detective Conan's Fourteenth Target―――――――――――――

In the wee hours of the morning, it was late at night, and even the insects were gradually dissipating, however, this was a perfect time for sleep, but instead of resting, I sat in front of the computer and kept flipping through the records of my mother's recent visits.

"Yue'er, Shuang'er, you go to sleep first. After reading a piece of information, I exhaled lightly, and I looked at it for about two hours, but unfortunately there wasn't much progress, and I didn't need to ask Ning Yue and them anything. So let them rest. "Ah Xue, help me call the informant at the Rice Flower Police Station and tell him that I need to sneak into the police station in half an hour, and ask him to help me clear the obstacles as much as possible. ”

"Yes, Mr. Minya. Ning Xue responded, "It's so late, do you still want to go out?"

"Ah, I'm running out of time, I've got to look something up as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, do you need me to follow?"

"No need, I'm just alone, you can go and rest after contacting, I stayed up in the middle of the night, and I worked hard. I smiled at Ning Xue, "When you go upstairs in a while, remember to enter my room and help Jingliu cover the quilt." I guess that girl will sleep soundly. ”

"Flutter. Ning Xue laughed softly, then turned around and left with a slight bow.

After Ning Xue left, I printed out all the roughly useful data I had sorted out, then changed my clothes, walked out of the door, drew the car from my necklace, and drove in the direction of the police station.

Adjacent to the police station, I put away the car in a corner. Then he walked towards the door. Although you can help clear as many obstacles as possible, it is better to step on the surrounding areas before going in, and what if you really get into trouble.

"Mr. Minya?" was thinking, before I could reach the door. A young man in a suit stopped me. When I looked up, the man was looking at me with a questioning expression. "Are you Mr. Minya?"

My brows frowned slightly, and the man in front of me looked like he was twenty-seven or eighteen, although he was puzzled, but more vigilant. I thought about it and was relieved. "Yes, you are the person at the police station that Ning Xue contacted?"

"Yes, hello Mr. Minya. I'm a police station operator under the boss of the thin wolf, and my name is Liuyuxin (thanks to the officer Liuyuxin for making a cameo)" Knowing my identity, this police officer called Liuyuxin also let down his guard.

"Oh, okay, hard work. I nodded at him. "But seeing that you can stand here and wait for me, have you solved all the problems in the police station?"

"Where, Mr. Minya. It's early in the morning, and there aren't too many people on night duty at the police station. And Officer Twilight and Officer Shiratori are also out on duty, and my boss is not here, so I can naturally be free. ”

"Oh, what about all these surveillance?" I smiled.

"It just so happens that I'm the head of the surveillance department. Liuyuxin smiled at me. "Mr. Mingya, I don't know what you want to look up?"

"You're the head of the surveillance department?" I was surprised.

"Uh...... Oh, yes. Liuyu replied after a pause.

"Coincidentally, I just wanted to check a few surveillance records. I licked my lips and smiled. "Lead the way, let's first check the surveillance of Murakami after he was released from prison last week. Then you have to go down the vine.

"Yes. ”

Although many rooms in the police station at night have lights on, there are even fewer people who actually work inside. Follow Liuyu Xin all the way to the monitoring room, it was empty, it turned out that today's night shift was originally Liuyu and another police officer on duty, but after receiving my order from Ning Xue, Liuyu found a way to break away from his colleagues, leaving only himself.

"Mr. Mingya, are we going to check the surveillance of Murakami when he was released from prison?" asked Ruyu.

"Well, check the surveillance records of Murakami's release from prison, I hope to find out everything he has done since he was released from prison. "After thinking about it, I spoke.

"Yes. Liuyu nodded. The operation began, and soon, the picture of that day was brought up. Fast forward for a while, and Murakami appeared in front of my eyes.

"Mr. Mingya, Murakami has appeared. "Seeing the people on the screen, Liuyu prompted me.

"Well, keep broadcasting and see where he goes. My eyes were locked on Murakami on the screen, for fear that he would run away.

With the broadcast of the surveillance, I saw that after Murakami walked out of the prison, he turned around and bowed slightly to the prison guards, and then walked outside.

"Can you call the traffic police's monitoring system?" I frowned slightly as I saw Murakami disappear from the screen.

"Yes, please wait. Saying that, Liuyu operated in front of the computer, and soon, a road surveillance screen not far from the prison appeared in front of my eyes, adjusting the time to the time when Murakami was released from prison, and we continued to look down, quickly. Murakami reappeared in our field of vision, and after walking some distance, Murakami stopped at the bus stop. Fast forward for a while, and Murakami got on a bus and left.

"I'm in trouble. Liuyu scratched his head. "Once we got on the bus, we had to do one stop at a time. ”

"No, don't bother. I said as I zoomed in on the zoom in on the surveillance. "Let's just locate this station. "Looking at the magnified screen, I saw the stop line prompt on the platform, and one of the stops was very obvious. Rice Flower Park.

"Yes. "After receiving my order, Liuyu directly called up the surveillance video of the Rice Flower Park Station and pressed the fast-forward button. After six buses, as I expected, Murakami got off at this stop and headed north as soon as he got off the bus. That's the direction of Dad's Detective Agency.

Once again, he asked Liuyu to call up the monitoring of the street where the office was located, and adjusted the time. Within a few minutes, Murakami reappeared in front of our eyes. I saw him walk into the office. Then it disappeared for a long time.

Leaving aside the time at that time, it happened to be the day when we agreed to have dinner with my mother, but when Murakami went to the office, my father went out to play mahjong, Xiaolan made an appointment to go shopping in the garden, and Conan and I went to the aviation museum with the children at that time. So, at this time period, Murakami just pounced.

Expressionless, I stared at the screen. Waiting for Murakami to come out of the office. However, just as Murakami walked out of the picture, an unexpected person appeared in the picture.

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows as I stared at the man on the screen. A playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "It's him? But it doesn't make sense, although those things can be explained, but ...... It seems that this incident is not ordinary. (To be continued.) )
