Chapter 299: The Bride in the Wedding Dress (1)
130 pounds...... More than fish?
As a battle-hardened criminal policeman, Miwako Sato immediately reacted to what he meant after hearing this description. Subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and the moment he wanted to speak, his heart suddenly accelerated his beating speed.
Theoretically, although Katsumi Uehara has been temporarily pulled back to work, he has no cases to be responsible for nowβexcept for the case of Chou Silang who took the initiative to take charge of the past.
"Yes...... Who? β
"It's not quite certain yet, and I don't have any evidence in my hands. However, I think it's coming soon. β
ββ¦β¦ Well, I see, I'll see you at the NEO store after work. β
"OK, no problem."
Hanging up the phone and looking at the screen that suddenly lit up, Katsumi Uehara bared his teeth and took a deep breath, took out the Bluetooth headset modified by Dr. Asa and put it in his ear: "Conan, how is it?" β
"As you can imagine, this man is cautious and has a lot of experience in counter-reconnaissance."
In the Bluetooth headset, Conan's voice, who was sent out to follow Shuji Shikano, came from it: "If it weren't for my deceptive appearance, I'm afraid I would really be hidden from him." β
"Where's the transmitter?"
"It's stuck under his shoe."
"Thank you."
After fastening his seatbelt, Katsumi Uehara activated the Beetle he had borrowed from Dr. Asasa and placed the tracking glasses that fit his size on the bridge of his nose and pressed the tracking button-
A red dot is flashing on the map.
"I don't think I need to teach you about sliding doors and picking locks, you should have learned it in Hawaii. Remember to install the bugs and cameras, he won't be able to endure it for long. β
ββ¦β¦ Katsumi Uehara, are you sure you really want to do this? If nothing else, you're a police officer. β
Conan on the other end of the phone was obviously a little hesitant and dissuaded: "Since you have already locked up the suspects, isn't it good to investigate slowly?" β
"It's too late, so many years have passed, and the evidence that can convict Shuji Shikano is probably only he himself. Frightened by me today, whether he wants to or not, he has to find an opportunity to destroy the evidence that proves his guilt. β
Katsumi Uehara, who was driving the car, recalled the few plot memories in his mind, and slowly spoke: "My appearance is too eye-catching, and I don't have the amazing disguise technique like Chengshi, and it is easy to find him to spy on him, so I can only rely on you." β
"Okay."
At the end of the call, after two "beeps" sounded in his ears, Katsumi Uehara, who was looking ahead, controlled the steering wheel with one hand, and took off the Bluetooth headset with one hand and put it in his pocket.
The cute Beetle drove all the way through the streets of Rice Flower Town, until it finally stopped at the door of Dr. Asasa's house-
"Doctor, I'm returning the carβDr. Asasa?"
Pushing open the door, Katsumi Uehara, who walked into the living room, did not see Dr. Asasa, but instead sat on the sofa and was reading a fashion magazine with Jiro's legs crossed.
"The Doctor went out grocery shopping and hasn't driven your car back yet."
Gray Hara, who had folded half of the magazine, raised his eyes and glanced at the man, thought about it, and got up and poured him a glass of water: "What about Edogawa?" Didn't he go out with you? β
"He's doing his duty as a member of the Junior Detective Corps β assisting the police in their work."
Katsumi Uehara, who casually threw the car keys on the coffee table, took the water cup with a smile and thanked him: "It just so happens that he likes Sherlock Holmes too, doesn't he?" β
"To be correct, the Junior Detective Corps is not accountable to the police."
After handing the water, he returned to his place, picked up the magazine again, glanced at him, and then his eyes fell on the introduction of the single item in the magazine.
Katsumi Uehara, who bowed his head and took a sip of saliva, was obviously noncommittal about this statement: "Haven't you heard of it according to local conditions?" β
ββ¦β¦ Why would you trust me? β
Looking at the man in front of him, Gray Yuan Wai still couldn't hold back the question in his heart after all, recalling the dream life of himself and his sister these days, and asked after hesitating for a moment.
According to common sense, as the developer of drug A, even if she has defected to the Japanese police, there is a high probability that her treatment will not be as free as now, not to mention the death of Katsumi Uehara and his friend in the hospital who faked the identity of "Miyano Shiho".
Maybe they will build trust with each other over time in the future, but for now, being still very wary of her like Conan Edogawa is the right way to open it.
But she had never felt this emotion in Katsumi Uehara.
Gray Yuan didn't understand.
Her time in the organization made her develop a sensitive character, and she even felt that Katsumi Uehara was probably doing something else. But these days, if it weren't for the fact that she sometimes had to look for Dr. Asa and Conan, she wouldn't even be able to see Katsumi Uehara.
"I said, are you all nervous after you've been in the distillery for a long time? There's always a kind of victim paranoia? β
Comfortably nestled into the sofa, Katsumi Uehara's right hand reached into his arms, took out his ID from the pocket of his suit, opened it and threw it on the coffee table, and pouted at it: "Do you want a reason?" Well, it is. β
On the police officer card, the serious Katsumi Uehara has a very serious face, and his state at the moment can be called two people.
ββ¦β¦β
"The world is dangerous, but there will always be people who are willing to do stupid things. I may not be that kind of person, but those buddies of mine are. β
Katsumi Uehara, who had withdrawn his police ID, chuckled: "Of course, so is Conan Edogawa." β
"That's why he's willing to help you write a closing report?"
"Don't slander me, I wrote my closing report."
ββ¦β¦ The water in the organization is deep. β
"I know."
Katsumi Uehara, who noticed that Dr. Asasa had already appeared at the door, turned his head and beckoned to him, not caring at all, "It's okay to tell me about the brewery when you want to open it, I'm not in a hurry." β
There is no doubt that Gray Plains must have known some of the secrets of the organization.
And, if memory serves, it seems that Gray Yuan still has a tape that her mother left her, and God knows what was said in it.
- Uh, no, that tape doesn't seem to be with her?
Katsumi Uehara, who doesn't remember clearly, moved his lips and didn't bother to think about it again after taking the keys to his car from Dr. Asasa.
The flickering eyes of Gray Yuan Wai just stared at the back of him as he got up and left, and subconsciously clenched the corners of the magazine, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Dr. Asasa, I'm afraid I'll have to borrow the tracking glasses and Bluetooth headset for a while."
"It's okay, it's okay if you give this to Officer Uehara."
Dr. Kasa, who didn't know that Gray Hara's heart was entangled, was chatting with Katsumi Uehara, happily patting his belly and showing him his technology inventory, and introducing him to his new invention by the way-
"Uehara Police Department, according to your request, I tried to modify this thing......"
ps: The labor arbitration has finally come to an end, and the salary and bonus before I left my job almost disappeared.
Life is not easy, the cat sighs.
Set the bowl~
