Chapter 2040: The Sacrifice of the Sleeping Beauty

Sunday, March 2nd, evening, Teacher Judy's apartment.

Teacher Judy came to answer the door, and when she saw that it was Conan, she was very surprised by his arrival, "Why are you here, come in?"

"That's right. Conan hurriedly said, "The former director of the Kakudo Central Hospital and those four nurses may become the targets of the organization, because ......"

"Because they've helped us, haven't they?" said Judy, motioning for Conan to sit down on the couch, "The boss has already led someone to squat outside these houses. ”

"That's good. Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

Conan sat down and remembered another question, "How long can you protect them?"

Teacher Judy sighed, "I don't know. ”

Conan asked, "Isn't there anything you can do?"

"You mean the witness protection program?" said Judy helplessly, "there is no evidence that their lives are threatened now, and the most important thing is that they themselves have nothing to do with the Bureau of Investigation before, and they are going to move all five families. ”

"If they are removed, they will face huge problems in their lives, language, work, children's education, mortgage, insurance, etc., etc., this series of problems need to be solved. ”

"It's not just that they can help them apply for it. ”

Conan was also speechless, in the final analysis, it was really a matter of money.

Next, Conan and Judy-sensei chatted about Hondo Eiyu's meeting with Mizuki and said something I hope he can wake up Mizumi.

After that, Conan left. ……

Friday, March 7, morning, good mood, Miyako Miyamoto's office.

The morning newspaper carried a news report about an accident at the Nagoya Steel Plant of the Shintetsu Group, in which hydrochloric acid leaked during maintenance, resulting in injuries to three workers, both serious and slight. ……

Jionghime presented today's information to Miko Miyamoto, and made a special report on the accident at Nagoya Steel, and the relevant procedures have been initiated to deal with the aftermath.

Mimiko Miyamoto sighed, "Accidents are always there, so let's do what you want." ”

Jiong Ji joked: "In other words, it is safer to engage in the financial industry." ”

Mimiko Miyamoto shook her head and said with a smile: "There are people who fail to invest and can't think of committing suicide, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of them this year." ”

Jiong Ji asked, "By the way, what do you think about the candidates for the president and vice president of the Bank of Japan?"

Miyamoto Miko said: "No opinion, everyone is the same, we don't need to have a person facing us in that place, and I don't want to have a big competition with the six major consortia in order to push someone up." ”

"It's boring, I have that energy, I calculate and calculate, it's better to watch a TV series at home, I've been chasing the big river drama "Ji Ji" recently, and I owe a lot of episodes and haven't made up for it. ”

Jiji smiled and said, "That's better than me, I'll just look at the beginning." ”

Miyakoto Miyako smiled: "I approve you, you can watch while working." ”

Jihime smiled, "I thought you approved me for a vacation." ”

Miyamoto Miko said seriously: "This problem should be studied carefully." ”

"I don't count on it. Jiong Ji shook her head deliberately and sighed, and then smiled, "Okay, if it's okay, I'll go out first." ”

"Go get busy. Mimiko Miyamoto nodded and smiled. ……

Thursday, March 13.

The news of the yen's appreciation rose to less than 100 yen in the evening newspaper. ……

Sunday, March 17, morning, Maori House.

Conan was cleaning up at home when he received a call from Ms. Judy asking him to go, and she hung up.

Conan's heart was lifted at once, because Judy-sensei's tone was very bad and seemed to be a little sad. ……

Teacher Judy's apartment.

Conan noticed that Mr. Judy's eyes were red, as if he had cried, and asked nervously, "What happened?"

"Last night, Director Muramatsu of the Kabito Central Hospital committed suicide at home. Teacher Judy said sadly.

"What!" Conan was completely stunned, then said angrily, "Damn, those guys must have done it, bastard bastard......"

"No," said Teacher Judy, shaking her head sadly, "it was a suicide, and the boss must have not been in or out of Dean Muramatsu's house last night." ”

Conan was immediately braked, "What, how come?"

At this moment, Conan seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his legs were so weak that he sat down on the couch, but instead of sitting upright, he slipped from his seat to the floor and leaned on his feet.

Teacher Judy helped Conan up and put him back on the couch.

"What the hell is going on?" Conan was infinitely sad, he had realized what it was for, but he wanted to know the answer, and he only hoped that it wouldn't be as cruel as the one he had thought.

But with Judy's narration, Conan discovers that he guessed correctly, and it was indeed the cruel answer.

Teacher Judy said a conversation between James and the dean.

"James, have you been living in my house lately because of something?"

"Yes, you also know that I was recently suspended, so I had to bother to save money on renting a house, but if you find it inconvenient to have me, then I'll move out. ”

"No, nothing like that, but ......"

"But what?"

"Forget it, nothing. ”

"Just say something. ”

"It's really nothing. ”

Teacher Judy said sadly: "James stayed at his house in order to protect the dean nearby, and these days, the dean realized that the situation was wrong, and he wanted to ask James, but in the end he didn't say it. ”

In the days that followed, his life was normal, and James did not expect him to die, but woke up this morning to find that he had committed suicide by taking sleeping pills in his study. ”

"The study is a completely secret room, and he still left a suicide note, saying that his death was because of the pressure of facing the media during this time. ”

That is, he cleared the suspicion of the leader, and he even thought of this. ”

The leader said that Dean Muramatsu should have seen through everything, saw that the leader was actually protecting him, and saw that he was actually in a dangerous situation. ”

"Dean Muramatsu should know that he is in danger because he helped the leader hide Mizuno mercy. ”

But he didn't say it, and he didn't blame it at all. ”

Teacher Judy didn't say any more, she couldn't control her tears anymore and let them flow.

Conan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, with too much anger in his heart, but no way to vent it. ……

In the fire alley outside the Mei Dai restaurant.

Conan didn't know how he came back, but when he passed by Mei Dai's restaurant, he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and call Yamazaki and ask him out.

However, Yamazaki came out of the Maori detective agency, and he was sorting out documents, which was a little work that he did when he had time and put it away when he didn't have time.

"What's wrong?" Yamazaki saw Conan's angry and sad look and knew something bad was happening.

Conan whispered emotionlessly, "Do you know? Director Muramatsu of the Kabito Central Hospital is dead. ”

"Killed?" Yamazaki frowned, "can't it, James is leading people to protect them, and there are so many reporters guarding outside?"

Conan was stunned, "You know everything?"

Yamazaki asked rhetorically, "Is there a problem with this?"

"I want to beat you, you know?" said Conan, grinding his teeth, implying that you knew everything, but you didn't help.

Yamazaki said angrily: "If it's for the death of Dean Muramatsu, let's beat James who swept him in first." ”

"We're for, we're for, I'm here for ......" Conan couldn't speak, unable to argue.

No matter what they are for, even if it is to uncover the dark curtain of the organization and save more people, they are not qualified to let others sacrifice for this matter, especially irrelevant people.

Yamazaki nodded and said, "Yes, I finally understand, no matter what you are for, you should not involve irrelevant people, when you implicate other people for your justice, it will be a disaster for them." ”

Conan was annoyed and whispered, "Don't talk cool here. ”

Yamazaki asked rhetorically, "Then what should I say to you now?" ”

Conan said weakly, "He committed suicide." ”

"Suicide?" Yamazaki was stunned for a moment and sighed, "Then he can be regarded as a murderer, which I admire him." ”

"Come to think of it, Dean Muramatsu found out that James was actually protecting him, and found that he and his family were in danger. ”

So, he simply died to stop the black hand that would reach him and affect his family, and he died to protect his family. ”

"yes," Conan worried, "I just don't know if the organization will let his family go." ”

Yamazaki thought for a moment, "Leave this to me." ”

"What do you want to do?" asked Conan, followed by a spirit, "Damn, you don't always have contact with them and know where they are, do you?" ”

Yamazaki picked up the tooth and claw and rushed towards his Conan, "I'm just going to send Dean Muramatsu's family on a trip to relax." ”

Conan didn't believe it, "That's it?"

"Of course," Yamazaki said, "this means that the next step up is that the Ishimine Security Association will intervene and protect Dean Muramatsu's family and let them spare Dean Muramatsu's family, because Dean Muramatsu is dead and has already given an explanation." ”

"That's it?" Conan asked, "Why didn't you do that before, uh......"

Conan reacted and didn't do it before because Dean Muramatsu was still alive.

Yamazaki sighed, "Before, because he was alive, he was too close to the center of the whirlpool, and he would definitely die." ”

"And I can't let him die, I have no right to lecture him, saying that his life will only affect his family, and only when he dies can his family live. ”

Conan was silent, and Yamazaki simply took him back to the Maori Detective Agency. ……
