Chapter 65: Need not to know
After Yan Tu Haici left, Zero talked to Oda Kiri for a while. As they talked, the lights in the auditorium dimmed. I saw that all the lighting was concentrated at the front of the auditorium, and the master of ceremonies was standing in front of the presiding stage at this moment, and said to the guests: "Guests, sorry for the long wait, now let us invite the bride and groom to enter, please welcome them with the warmest applause." ”
As the master of ceremonies' voice fell, the audience applauded, although the recent case has caused great pressure on the police guests in the venue, but in the face of this couple, everyone still did not hesitate to offer their blessings.
The groom, Kotaro Harutsuki, and the bride, Sara Shiratori, slowly walked from the side of the hall to the front holding hands, receiving applause and congratulations from everyone.
After the bride and groom have finished their appearances, the lights in the venue are restored and the banquet continues. Everyone should continue to chat, and those who want to eat and drink continue to eat and drink.
Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the outside of the hotel was already covered in night.
As the banquet progressed, the mood of the guests gradually relaxed after several glasses of wine, and the atmosphere was no longer as dull as it was at the beginning.
Of course, not all the guests were like this, and there were still a considerable number of police officers who didn't drink much and still maintained their original solemn looks.
The three girls, Zero, Xiaolan, and Yuanzi, gathered around, chatting casually, occasionally bringing something from the table to eat.
Shiratori Renzaburo walked up to Zero and the others, followed by a man in his thirties.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for coming to the engagement banquet of your sister." Shiratori said politely to Zero and the others.
"Officer Shiratori, you're so polite, I just want to thank you for inviting me." Zero was the first to thank him in return, and Xiaolan and Yuanzi also thanked him.
Zero looked at the man behind Shiratori and asked, "Who is this one?" ”
"Let me introduce me." Shiratori said, "This is my psychiatrist, Dr. Kyosuke Kado. ”
Kyosuke Kazado looks gentle and elegant, but Zero knows that he is the real culprit behind the last two police killings, and is still waiting for an opportunity to try to kill Officer Sato in this auditorium.
However, he has no evidence at present, so he can only wait until he makes a move on Sato in the future, and subdue him on the spot as a current criminal.
Of course, it is very important to grasp the time, and it is still difficult to clarify the occurrence of the crime and protect Officer Sato from harm.
Even murderers like Kyosuke Kazeto were inevitably surprised by Zero's beauty, and after coming back to his senses, he coughed lightly to hide his gaffe, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zero: "Hello, my surname is Kazeto." ”
Zero had no intention of shaking hands with the murderer, but now that the identity of the other party's criminal has not been revealed, it would be rude to refuse to shake hands, and it might also arouse the vigilance of the other party, so Zero could only stretch out his hand and shake the other party: "Hello, I'm Jintian Yilingzi." ”
After shaking hands with Zero, Kaze To, who shook hands with Ran and Sonoko one after another, and both Ran and Sonoko introduced themselves to Kazeto.
Then Sonoko asked Shiratori, "Officer Shiratori, how did you see a psychiatrist?" ”
"As a police officer, you have to deal with all kinds of cases, and there will always be some problems in your heart." Shiratori said in a slightly helpless tone, "Therefore, it is also necessary for the police to adjust their psychological state in time." ”
After greeting Zero, Shiratori walked towards Kogoro, Fei Yingli, and Conan a few meters away, and introduced Kyosuke Kazato to Kogoro and they met.
At this time, the Twilight Police Department and Officer Takagi happened to pass by Kogoro, and Kogoro hurriedly asked the Twilight Police Department: "Twilight Police Department, how are the two cases investigated?" ”
Twilight glanced at Kogoro, and then said to Kogoro in a tone that was not approachable to others, "You don't care about this case." ”
With that, Twilight left on her own.
Kogoro was a little depressed, and in his impression that Twilight had never spoken to him in that tone.
You know, now that two police officers have been killed, how can the Twilight Police Department deliberately alienate themselves? After the first police officer Narazawa was killed, the Twilight Police Department also asked himself to help investigate the case, but after the second police officer Shiba Yoichiro was killed, the Twilight Police Department's attitude towards himself became very subtle, not to mention looking for himself to investigate the case, even if he repeatedly called to inquire about the second case, the other party would always prevaricate himself with reasons such as "I'm busy now" and "it's inconvenient to talk", and I didn't talk to myself.
I thought that I would have a chance to get some words out of the mouth of the Twilight Police Department at this banquet, but I didn't expect that the Twilight Police Department's attitude towards me seemed to become more and more indifferent.
At this time, Officer Takagi was also about to leave, but was dragged by Kogoro: "Hey, what is there that the Dusk Police Department can't tell me, what is he worried about?" ”
Kogoro didn't dare to go too far when facing the Twilight Police Department, but he didn't have so many worries when facing Officer Takagi.
"I think it's the Maori detective, you're too worried......" Takagi naturally didn't let go easily.
At this time, Conan interjected "unintentionally": "Officer Takagi, you like Officer Sato, right?" ”
Officer Takagi was shocked when he heard this, did he like Sato to be so obvious that he could even see it as a child? In that case, Officer Sato wouldn't have seen what he was thinking......
When Kogoro heard this, he showed a malicious look on his face: "Huh? This is really interesting, looking at Officer Takagi's innocent appearance, I guess you haven't confessed yet. Otherwise, how about I convey your thoughts to Officer Sato? ”
With that, Kogoro left Takagi and walked towards Miwako Sato in the distance.
Seeing this, Takagi was afraid that Kogoro would really tell the other party that he liked Sato, which would be too embarrassing. He hurriedly stopped in front of Kogoro: "Please, Detective Maori, please raise your noble hand." ”
"If you want me to raise your hand, tell me what you know."
Takagi was helpless, so he could only whisper to Kogoro: "It's okay for me to tell you, but you must not disclose it to the media...... When Officer Chi was killed, he was holding a police handbook. ”
Kogoro and Conan, who was eavesdropping on the side, were taken aback when they heard this.
When the first officer Narazawa was killed, he clutched his chest pocket, and the bag contained his police manual, and this information has been made public. Originally, the police thought that the reason why Officer Nara was holding the pocket containing the police manual was to imply that the information about the murderer was recorded in the police manual, so they investigated the contents of the police manual, but found nothing.
And the second police officer Shibayoichiro was also holding a police handbook when he was killed, and the police did not disclose this information to the public, even if Kogoro and Conan heard of it for the first time at this moment.
It is no coincidence that both police officers died holding police manuals. In other words, the death message given by Narazawa before was not the content of the police manual, but the object of the police manual itself.
Could it be that the murderer is a police insider!?
It's not just Conan who thought of this, but even Kogoro. Only in this way can we explain why Officer Twilight is so secretive. After all, if it is really a police insider, there are too many aspects involved, and it is really impossible to disclose the case to Kogoro, who has quit the Metropolitan Police Department.
"How's the investigation going?" Kogoro continued to ask Takagi.
Takagi hesitated, and Shiratori, who had just been watching coldly, spoke: "Enough is enough, Detective Maori, you've asked enough." ”
"There's a lot more I want to ask."
When Shiratori heard this, he said lightly to Kogoro, "Need not to know." ”
Kogoro and Conan's faces changed, and Takagi took advantage of this time to follow Shiratori away.
Need not to know, this is not a simple sentence in English, but one of the code words used by the police when communicating. Conan touched his chin and pondered, could it be that these two murders were not only implicated within the police, but might even involve high-ranking figures in the police community? In that case, it is possible to take into account some political factors, could it be that the two police officers discovered some political secrets and were silenced?
Conan was pacing back and forth as he thought, not paying attention to the situation in front of him, and he hit someone's thigh headbutt.
"I'm sorry!" Conan hurriedly apologized, but when he looked up, his face changed in an instant.
The object he bumped into was Zero, and at this time, Zero's forehead was faintly bruised, and he lowered his body and said to Conan: "I didn't expect you little devil to be so fat, and you dare to rub my oil openly." ”
"Not really!" Conan hurriedly confessed, "I'm just thinking about things!" ”
Will Zero listen to Conan's explanation? Even if you know that what he said is true, the objective fact that you are rubbed with oil is rubbed with oil will not change because of Conan's subjective motives. Just as Zero decided to teach Conan a lesson, Xiaolan's voice sounded: "Zero, what's wrong with Conan?" ”
Zero said "uh", she was really embarrassed to teach Conan a lesson in front of Xiaolan. However, the garden, which is not too big to see the excitement, sent an assist in time: "I saw it, Conan, this little pervert, actually touched Zero's thigh just now." ”
Conan's face changed greatly, what kind of eyes do you look at you dead bastard? I just accidentally hit Zero's thigh with my head! Why did it become that in your eyes, I took the initiative to touch the zeros?
Sure enough, Xiaolan's face was as gloomy as ink when she heard this, and she grabbed Conan's ear and reprimanded, "Conan, how can you do this? ”
Later, Xiaolan kept apologizing to Zero, saying that she would definitely teach Conan a good lesson when she returned home.
Zero Zi thought about it for a moment and said to Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, do you sometimes take a bath with Conan now?" In that case, it actually has a bad influence on Conan, and it is easy for him to have some strange thoughts about women. In order to let Conan form a correct concept of gender, I think Xiaolan, you should not take a bath with Conan in the future. It should be no problem for him to take a bath alone at his age, but if someone must take him to wash, he will leave it to Uncle Kogoro. ”
Hmph, the stinky little ghost dares to rub my oil, see that I don't cancel your benefits.
Xiaolan thought about it and felt that what Zero said seemed to make sense. Conan is sometimes a little naughty, but on the whole he is still a very well-behaved child, and at this time, he actually did this kind of thing to Zero, maybe he was really affected by taking him to take a bath with him.
So Xiaolan said to Zero: "Zero, you're right, I'll never take a bath with Conan again." ”
Conan, who was on the side, heard this, his expression was dejected, and he was very disappointed......
