"I don't know."

Shuji Kano's face was as usual, and in the face of Katsumi Uehara's inquiry, he reached out and picked up the photo with the word "KAN O" written on it. After looking at it carefully for a while, he shook his head and pushed the photo back in front of him.

"Really?"

"If Officer Uehara were asking me if I recognized those four letters, then I would have known them. However, looking at the spacing between the four letters in this photo, it seems to refer to something, I can't say. ”

Uehara Katsumi smiled, and no longer asked, but snapped his fingers and called out to the waiter to ask for a piece of pasta.

"Uh, Officer Uehara, we don't have pasta in our store, we're a Japanese restaurant." The waiter who came over had a strange look on his face and glanced at the boss who was sitting motionless in his position. Seeing that he didn't speak, he had to open his mouth to remind.

"Let's go and serve Officer Uehara the store's signature udon."

Seeing that Katsumi Uehara still seemed unmoved, the silent Shuji Shikano spoke.

The waiter who received the order subconsciously set his eyes on the smiling Katsumi Uehara, who did not explicitly refuse, and then nodded yes.

When the waiter walked away, Katsumi Uehara raised his glass and thanked the man in front of him: "Thank you, Mr. Kano, for helping me out, otherwise I would be so embarrassed that I don't know what to do." ”

Officer Uehara laughed.

Shuji Kano, who was beating a drum in his heart, didn't know what the man in front of him was doing, so he had to continue along his words: "If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the prosecution period of the justice case has passed for a long time.

"Officer Uehara suddenly found me and asked about this case, did you already find the clues of the murderer?"

"It's a little bit of a breakthrough, I think the key to solving this case lies in these four letters. As long as you figure out what it means, then the real culprit will surely surface. ”

Katsumi Uehara, who took back the photo, folded it in half and was about to stuff it back into his pocket, when he raised his eyes to see Shuji Kano still staring at him, and then showed him a harmless smile: "I even think it may represent the murderer." ”

——？！

The biggest secret buried in his heart was revealed by a criminal policeman, and Shuji Shikano's heart beat rapidly, and he even felt that his breathing became a little difficult for a while.

"Yes, yes, it's worthy of being a super cop of the Metropolitan Police Department, and he found a clue so quickly."

"Don't don't, what a super policeman, that's all in the name of the media to see the excitement and not think it's a big deal to give me peace, I'm just an ordinary policeman."

"Hehe, Officer Uehara is really modest when he speaks, and he deserves to be a well-known criminal policeman."

Even though the air conditioning is on all day in the restaurant, Shuji Kano still feels a little hot at the moment, a heat from the bottom of his heart.

Even a few drops of sweat were oozing from his forehead.

Katsumi Uehara's reputation and identity have put him under great psychological pressure, after all, this man is not like a detective who does not have any power in his own right, but a real policeman.

On top of that, although Katsumi Uehara had diverted the subject earlier, he still clearly remembered that the man had raised the question of his three years in Italy.

He asked, but Katsumi Uehara didn't answer directly, but asked his Japanese restaurant for a piece of pasta.

What was he thinking?

Are you cheating on me?

Watching the waiter serve udon, watching Katsumi Uehara pluck his chopsticks and feasting on it, at this moment, Shuji Kano even flashed the idea of killing Katsumi Uehara in his mind.

"What's wrong, Mr. Shikano? Do I have anything on my face? ”

After noticing Shuji Kano's expressionless gaze, Katsumi Uehara, who had taken a bite of noodles, paused and raised his eyes to look at him. The latter, who came back to his senses, immediately showed a polite smile on his face: "No, it's nothing.

"Then, Officer Uehara, you use it slowly, if you need to tell the waiter directly, I won't bother you."

With that, he stood up and left his seat.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Shikano."

As soon as he took two steps, the words from behind him made his body stiffen suddenly-

The next second, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"My personal judgment is that the murderer of Miwako's father should be someone who is familiar with him. It is very likely that the so-called "Chou Si Lang" is misinformation, because the pronunciation of this word is very similar to "go and surrender".

"I think this may be the reason why the police have not investigated the results for a long time, because they have always investigated [Chou Silang].

"But if you substitute [to turn yourself in], then KAN O is very likely to refer to the murderer."

Shuji Shikano, who was facing away from Katsumi Uehara, stared widening suddenly, and the sound of his breathing instantly became heavy.

"So, that's my business card. If you have any ideas about what is on this photo, please call me. ”

Katsumi Uehara, who handed his business card to Shuji Kano, said in front of his eyes with great sincerity.

After quickly suppressing the horror in his heart, Shuji Shikano turned around and accepted it: "...... When、Of course,Then I'll leave first.。 ”

"Walk slowly, Mr. Shikano. Oh yes, in order to ensure your innocence, it's best not to leave Rice Flower Town during this time. ”

“……”

Katsumi Uehara, who returned to his seat and continued to eat noodles, glanced down at the bowl, and did not leave in a hurry, but continued to enjoy it slowly and methodically.

Aside from other factors, the udon noodles at this shop taste really good.

Shuji Shikano, who avoided the waiter, quietly hid in the back kitchen area, and quietly watched Katsumi Uehara finish eating, settling the bill, and paying as if he was a nobody, with an extremely gloomy face.

"Katsumi Uehara ......"

He can't accept it, he can't accept it!

He stayed abroad for three years in order to put the retroactive date of the Sato case on the same day as his fiftieth birthday, so that he could celebrate his fiftieth birthday with the real expiration of the Sato case.

But now, this performance of Katsumi Uehara can almost be said to have engraved the phrase "I suspect that you are the real murderer" on the door of his mind.

"Calm down, calm down, I want to be calm. He has no evidence, and the case of eighteen years ago cannot be convicted by just a few letters and his speculation......"

Shuji Shikano, who closed his eyes and took several deep breaths in quick succession to calm his thoughts, forced himself to calm down and began to think about countermeasures instead.

Go abroad and hide for a while?

No, Japanese law stipulates that as long as the convict leaves the country, the prosecution period will be suspended, and the calculation will not start again until the convict returns to his or her home country.

Katsumi Uehara is clearly targeting him, and the most important thing he should do now is to destroy the evidence, destroy the evidence that can convict him.

casually tore up the business card that Katsumi Uehara gave him and threw it into the trash, and for the sake of safety, he changed his clothes directly in his store manager's room, and then he was ready to go out-

No, it's not!

It is very likely that he is watching me, just to wait for me to take the initiative to expose the evidence to him.

Shuji Shikano, who was in a hurry and was about to go out, suddenly thought of such a possibility, and his steps were instantaneous.

"Are you sure it works?"

In a Beetle not far from the restaurant, Conan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, squinted at the man who opened the door and got into the car.

"Ask fewer questions and do more, and I won't hurt you." Katsumi Uehara, who poured two pieces of gum and flew into his mouth, sat in the driver's seat and twisted his body comfortably.

"Why do you want me to do this kind of thing?"

"Don't you like Sherlock Holmes very much?"

Katsumi Uehara shrugged his shoulders and pointed at himself as he spoke of Sherlock Holmes, and then pointed at Conan, whose eyes were full of unhappiness: "Aren't you the standard Baker Street kid king?" ”

Conan's face was black: "What child king, why don't you say the lion king?" You haven't seen Sherlock Holmes at all. ”

"Don't care about these details—"

Katsumi Uehara, who waved his hand, hadn't finished speaking, when the sudden ringtone of his mobile phone instantly attracted his attention: "Hey? Miwako? ”

"Katsuji, where are you?"

"Investigating the case outside, why, you miss me so soon?"

"Don't be poor, I just want to ask if you have time after work to accompany me to Mr. Furuta's NEO store and choose a dress."

Miwako Sato, who was on the other end of the phone, said her needs succinctly and clearly: "Since I want to attend Mr. Moriya's banquet with you, I have to buy a suitable dress." ”

"Of course, no problem—"

As he was talking, Katsumi Uehara saw the figure who was probing his brain at the door of the restaurant, and couldn't help urging Conan beside him: "Hurry up, hurry up, take the bait." ”

The phone didn't hang up, and Miwako Sato, who was on the other end of the signal, was surprised: "Wait a minute, are you sure you're out investigating the case, not fishing?" ”

"How do you know I've caught a fish?"

Uehara Katsumi, who heard this, did not deny it, but said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Friendly reminder, this is a fish weighing more than 130 catties." ”

Miwako Sato: "??? ”

Title: "My Spiritual Root is a Graphics Card"

Introduction: Traveling through the world of high martial arts, Yan Lixing felt that he was probably a little lucky.

As soon as he crossed that time, as soon as he landed, he was robbed by bandits, and he was almost made into claypot rice for people to satisfy their hunger;
