05 Be wise and lofty! He's a detective
At the last moment, Gao Yuan finally caught up and grabbed her at the moment when Minaguchi Chana jumped off the cliff.
It's just that this time is almost the most tiring running in memory, and Gao Yuan is so tired at the moment that he can't breathe. Originally, he was eager to save people, but now that he has been rescued, his body seems to be falling apart, but Takato still stood there with his almost collapsed body, and kept holding Mizuguchi Kana - rushed here with great difficulty, and the result was still good.
Looking at this young man who suddenly appeared, Kana Mizuguchi was very surprised, but looking at his panting and struggling appearance, he naturally quickly thought of how desperately he ran over to save himself just now.
"Why save me?"
Kana Mizuguchi subconsciously asked this question.
Hearing such a rhetorical question, Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that the other party probably wouldn't have the idea of suicide anymore. Looking at this girl who ended in tragedy in the original world line and now living in front of her, Gao Yuan felt that everything she did was meaningful.
"Do you need a reason to save people?"
Takato asked rhetorically and answered Kana Mizuguchi's question.
Such an answer made Mizuguchi Kana can't help but lose her mind a little. But soon, the memory of reality came back to her heart, and when she thought of what happened to her, the girl fell into despair again.
Seeing her look like this, Gao Yuan let go of the hand holding her, patted Chana Mizuguchi's shoulder, and comforted her.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
This kind of persuasion seemed to open the girl's tear ducts, and she couldn't help but squat down and cover her face and cry.
Thinking that since the high school detective came, almost everyone around her looked at her with the eyes of the criminal, and the police interrogated her non-stop throughout the day, forcing her to admit that she was the murderer. And now the loftiness that appears is like the only light in his dark life.
"Why! Why don't people believe me! I'm really not a murderer! Not really! ”
The girl shouted, saying what she had always wanted to say.
She's just an ordinary girl, doing the work of a maid, she doesn't know how to reason, she can't argue, the only detective friend she knows is not around, she is helpless and cornered.
"I know, you're not a murderer. Therefore, you don't have to weep over it, you don't have to seek death, the innocent are innocent, and you don't have to pay the price for the mistakes of others. ”
Takato said, stretching out his hand to Kana Mizuguchi, "So please stand up and live well." ”
Looking at Takato's outstretched hand, Kana Mizuguchi stopped her tears, but she still hesitated and didn't dare to get up.
"But the detective told the police that he had found evidence, and the police would not let me go!"
"Since you are not the murderer, then the truth of the matter is that there is another reason. Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest and I'll help you clarify everything! ”
Gao Yuan took the initiative to reach out and pull Mizuguchi Chanel up.
Standing up, Kana Mizuguchi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked carefully at the man with beautiful eyebrows in front of her, "Excuse me, who are you?" Why help me? ”
Hearing this, Gao Yuan hesitated slightly, and then smiled confidently.
"Be wise and lofty! He's a detective! ”
At this moment, Takato made a decision - to use his full name and the surname of the famous detective "Wise Kogoro" in the novel - in this world, as wise Takato, to live!
"Detective...... Detective? ”
Probably remembering that his current situation was also caused by a detective, hearing Takato's own statement, Mizuguchi Kana began to hesitate.
"That's right, it's not just a half-baked person who can't wait to show off just a little clue. It's about finding out the truth thoroughly, and not wronging innocent people, that's what a detective is! ”
Takato saw Mizuguchi's concern, so he said.
Looking at Takato's determined eyes, Mizuguchi Kana chose to believe.
The two returned to the lavender villa together, and it was in the mouth of Mizuguchi Chana that Takato knew the name of the housekeeper, Koya Ryozo.
When Ryozo Koya learned that Takato was also a detective, he seemed to be relieved, and his expression changed from the impatience he had when he first saw Takato to a little kind.
Looking at Ryozo Koya's reaction, Takato probably understands that he still blames himself a little for choosing to remain silent even though he knows the truth, causing Kana Mizuguchi to be suspected. He is naturally happy to see a new detective come to help Mizuguchi Kana clarify. It's just that he didn't expect that in the original plot, the police didn't find out the truth in the end, but completely forced Kana Mizuguchi into a desperate situation.
I have to say that most of the police in the world of "Detective Conan" have nothing to do about the case with a little brain, and it all depends on the detective to get to the bottom of it, but if the detective himself is unreliable, it will be too dangerous, and in the end it will be just a headless public case, and if it is an unjust, false and wrongful case, the impact will be great.
Takato symbolically walked around the villa, checked it, and then told Kana Mizuguchi and Koya Ryozo that he already knew the truth and asked them to notify the police.
For such a speed, Koya Ryozo felt a little unreliable, but Mizuguchi Kana had already chosen to believe Takato completely, so she called the police officer who handled the case.
Soon, someone from the police came.
Looking at the people who came over, Takato was convinced, he really didn't know the police on Shikoku's side at all, and he didn't have any impression of those names, but it didn't matter.
The leading police officer came to the villa, looked at the three people present, and then looked at Kana Mizuguchi, "Call us here now, do you want to explain anything to us?" ”
"Nope. It was this Mr. Detective, who had found out the truth about the death of the young lady, and had asked me to inform you. ”
Kana Mizuguchi looked at the police officer and said with some fear.
"Detective? Why is there another detective? ”
Looking at Gao Yuan on the side, he said with distrustful eyes, "The previous detectives have found decisive evidence, why are there detectives coming here now?" ”
"Is that really conclusive evidence?"
Seeing the officer's eyes, Gao Yuan deliberately fixed himself back in a provocative tone.
"What did you say?"
The officer listened impatiently.
"Officer, do you know why I came to this lavender villa on purpose?"
Takato explained, "I read the report about the case. The police conducted a detailed investigation around the secret room at the scene of the crime half a year ago and found no clues, so why did the detectives passing by find it half a year later? ”
As he spoke, Gao Yuan took out a cut screw that had fallen on the outside of the window of the secret room and handed it to the officer.
"That's the evidence that the detective found."
The officer took the cut screw, looked at it, and nodded, "That's right." It's this. Because I found this, I found that the screws that were originally fixed in the window of the secret room were cut, and the window was actually glued to the window frame, so the secret room itself was not established. Is there anything wrong with this? ”
"Of course there is a problem!"
Speaking of this, Gao Yuan deliberately raised his voice, "Why didn't your police find out at that time?" ”
He looked around at the police officers present, and then fixed his eyes on the officer who was the leader.
"Is it because you're incompetent?"
Like a rhetorical question, like a mockery, Gao Yuan said.
