Chapter 367 Don’t Go Home
Here, Nobushige had just sent Hattori Heiji away, and then Suzuki Sonoko got the news and rushed over.
The second daughter of the Suzuki family, with a net worth of hundreds of billions, took a long time on the train to get to the hospital.
She looked very anxious and complained as soon as she entered the door: "Xiaolan, you are really not a friend enough. You didn't tell me about something as important as Conan's injury. I only heard about it from my father."
Mao Lilan asked strangely: "How could Uncle Shi Lang know about this?"
"Because he happened to be on the phone with the Nakamori Police Department, and the Megure Police Department was right next to him." As he spoke, Suzuki Sonoko's eyes kept moving around the ward, as if he was looking for something.
Mouri Kogoro thought for a while and asked, "Are you talking about the Nakamori Police Department from the Second Investigation Section of the Metropolitan Police Department?"
Suzuki Sonoko said unexpectedly: "Uncle, do you know him?"
"Yeah." Mouri Kogoro cleared his throat and said, "I encountered him before in the Phantom Thief Kidd incident, but why did your father talk to him on the phone?"
"Because a gem seems to be on display at my house recently, and my father is worried that Kaito Kidd will appear, so we discussed it with the police in advance." A look of disappointment appeared on Suzuki Sonoko's face, "Isn't Mr. Asano here?"
"He just sent..."
Before Mao Lilan finished speaking, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly turned into an arrow from the string and swooped to the door. At this time, Nobushige had just pushed the door open and met Suzuki Sonoko's face at first glance.
He didn't understand what was happening yet, so he just politely expressed his confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Oops! I just came over to see Conan. Isn't he injured?" Suzuki Sonoko laughed devilishly. She said something nice, but her body honestly moved closer to Nobuhiro.
Nobuhiro couldn't help but frown.
What about Kyogoku? Come and subdue this woman, don't let her do evil outside!
Conan felt a little headache looking at such a bunch of chattering "adults" surrounding his hospital bed. And the appearance of Suzuki Sonoko always gave him a bit of an ominous premonition.
This hunch soon came true.
"That's right!" Suzuki Sonoko said excitedly, "Xiaolan, you didn't come to the rehearsal today but you missed the treasure!"
"Hey, what?"
"It's a new doctor!" Suzuki Sonoko's cheeks turned red. "Because as the heroine, you are not here. As the actor playing the prince, I know your lines best, so I rehearsed them for you first. . The person who will play the role of the prince in my place is the new doctor. He is really handsome today!"
"Really?" Mao Lilan also smiled, "He is very handsome to begin with, and he must be particularly suitable for the character when he puts on the prince's costume."
Suzuki Sonoko said helplessly: "Yes, so today many people said that I should not cheat on the prince. They all agreed that Dr. Shinde should work with you."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Mao Lilan was in a good mood. She smiled and advised her friend not to care.
Conan's expression suddenly turned very bad. He looked at Xiaolan awkwardly several times, but he had no position to comment on this.
When will this kind of tragedy that he has seen with his own eyes but cannot change come to an end? When can he be able to be by Xiaolan's side openly as Kudo Shinichi?
…
Conan took half a month off from school because of his injury, but for others, life did not change much.
The next day, Nobutano received a call from the decoration company early in the morning. The basic decoration of his newly purchased apartment had been completed, and all that was left was to purchase furniture and soft furnishings.
He seemed to be able to see a new life waving towards him.
However, in fact, the person riding the white horse is not necessarily the prince, and the person waving at the door is not necessarily a new life, it may even be the Osaka black chicken.
Hattori Heiji stood under the street tree against the dim light of the morning, with a smile on his face. Seeing him looking over, Hattori Heiji immediately said: "Let's go, I've already made an agreement with Officer Megure, we can go directly there."
Nobushige knew that Hattori Heiji had hit a wall with Officer Megure yesterday, so he asked curiously: "How did you make an agreement with Officer Megure?"
It was clear that Officer Megure didn't want the detective to get involved in this matter yesterday, so why did his attitude change so obviously overnight?
Hearing this, Hattori Heiji smiled mysteriously and said, "Because I called my father yesterday and described the general situation."
"..."
How could you, a high school detective, convince the Megure Police Department? Oh, the son of the chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, that’s okay.
Nobushige really didn't expect that Hattori Heiji would actually use his father's position to gain convenience for himself, although in the final analysis, this convenience was to solve the case as soon as possible.
As if fearing that Nobushige would misunderstand, Hattori Heiji specifically explained: "We will not affect the normal work of the Metropolitan Police Department, we are just observing their meetings."
Well, just listening in.
In this case, could you please explain why there are only a few of them in the entire conference room?
Nobushige looked at Officer Megure who was sitting in front of them and enthusiastically introduced the case, and despised Hattori Heiji in his heart.
Hattori Heiji was also a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that the attitude of the police department would change drastically when he came to the Metropolitan Police Department again today. He not only received them warmly, but also invited them to the conference room to introduce the whole story of the iron barrel corpse case.
If Hattori Heizo came here in person, it would be nothing more than that.
"Anyway, we have compared it with the missing persons database in the past two days, and no missing persons who meet the requirements have been found." Megure Police Department touched his chin happily, and then said, "The next step will be left to you, I believe you Certainly possible."
"What?" Hattori Heiji felt that he knew every word, but he just couldn't understand what Officer Megure was saying. "Leave it all to us?"
"Yes." Megure Police Department acted even more innocent than Hattori Heiji, "Didn't Hattori Police Superintendent say that in order to train you two, the subsequent confirmation of the identity of the deceased and the tracing of the murderer in this case will be left to you? Oh? , he also emphasized yesterday that if you fail to solve the case within a week, there is no need to return to Osaka."
Hattori Heiji:"……"
The meaning of Hattori Heizang's words was very obvious, that is, he told Hattori Heizang clearly that if you can't solve the case within the specified time, then don't go home.
Hattori Heiji wanted to cry but had no tears. He should have known, his father is not so easy to fool!
"Of course," Megure Police Department said in a good mood, "We at the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely not give up on finding the truth, so you don't need to be too stressed, just take your time."
How could it not be stressful? As promised, within a week, I won’t be able to enter the house even a day later! !
