Chapter 159: Forced to Slack Off, Prelude to the Garden Party

Shiba Yoichiro frowned, "Higashino Police Department, you..."

"Since you are not very cooperative with my work, my attitude will naturally be a little worse." Higashi Yening interrupted him directly, his tone was quite arrogant.

I will treat you the same way you treat me, unless you are much higher than me.

Shiba Yoichiro was silent, then sighed, "Go out and talk."

The two left the police station and found a seat at a nearby coffee shop.

Shibayo Ichiro got straight to the point, "Higashino Police Department, this is not because I deliberately made things difficult for you, but because I couldn't help myself."

"I really don't know the details of Police Officer Qingtian's death. What I know and can say is not concealed. You are just asking for trouble if you continue to delve into it."

His eyes were deep, "Even if you are the police department, you cannot shoulder the responsibility. I am not being alarmist."

Higashino raised his eyebrows, "In other words, can I think that the investigation you are currently engaged in is related to the police or high-level politicians?"

Seeing that Shibayo Ichiro wanted to say something, he tapped the table, "Don't deny it in a hurry. Normally, you should have no connection with politics."

"Coupled with the fact that Officer Aota who died this time, Officer Sato who was as busy as you but kept silent, and Officer Narazawa, I can definitely infer that you are restarting the investigation from a year ago."

"I won't say who we are investigating specifically. Officer Zhi just needs to nod or shake his head now."

Shiba Yoichiro remained silent.

After a while, he suddenly chuckled, "It's true that you were promoted exceptionally for a reason."

Then he suddenly became serious again, "Since you have deduced so much information but still choose to come and question me, then I have to remind you to be careful."

"Our investigation cannot be known to more people for the time being, otherwise there will be violent turmoil in the police community. You can just think of it as helping us buy time. Officer Higashino, thank you very much."

Although it is not stated explicitly, it is almost as clear as it should be.

Shiba Yoichiro and others were secretly enabled by Director Odagiri to re-investigate the case a year ago.

The target of the investigation, Toshi Odagiri, is now not only suspected of killing Dr. Ninoyasu, but may also have shot and killed a Qingtian police officer not long ago.

The public and the media don't need facts at all. As long as there is a little rumor, they will immediately spread the rumor widely.

News headlines like "The Chief of the Criminal Division shielded the son of a criminal, and his son was suspected of shooting a detective" can directly paralyze Japanese public opinion for the past month.

If you spread rumors, you will lose your legs if you refute them.

This is no longer just a matter within the police. The entire political circle will be greatly affected.

A small police department in Higashi Yening really cannot afford such a big responsibility.

However, he didn't come here to forcefully intervene, he just wanted to confirm through Shibayo Ichiro whether this was a theatrical version of the incident.

Now he was sure.

Fish!

Wait for Mr. Ke to exert his strength.

Higashino Ning stood up and said, "Although it is only speculation at the moment, Officer Qingtian may have been accidentally murdered by someone else, but I think you still need to be careful."

"Also, please be sure to tell Officer Sato for me, asking her to pay attention to her own safety."

"I'm still an 'outsider' now, so it's not convenient for me to tell her personally."

Shiba Yoichiro was quite surprised, "Higashino Police Department and Miwako..."

"Don't get me wrong." Dongye Ning waved his hand directly, "My good brother likes her, and she and I are also very good friends, so I don't want anything to happen to her."

After saying that, leave.

If you continue to linger here for a while, you might have to pay for those two cups of coffee, which is not cost-effective.

Moreover, Higashino Ning now has to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department to explain the whole story to Megure Thirteen.

This is not because he wants to take advantage of the situation, but because he cannot intervene.

As for confidentiality...it's normal for the police departments to know each other's situation, and they won't talk about it casually.

Besides, the information itself was his own conjecture, so it’s up to you to tell anyone what you think.

The Metropolitan Police Department is still relaxing today.

Higashino Ning went to see Megure Thirteen, and Shiratori Rensaburo happened to be there, so he simply talked about it together.

After hearing this, both of them were completely shocked.

"Director Odagiri's son..."

"If this is really the case, then Brother Dongye, the progress of your case investigation really needs to be slowed down."

Higashino sat down casually and looked at Shiratori Rensaburo, "Is there any way to get Director Odagiri to acquiesce in my intervention in the investigation?"

Shiratori Rensaburo thought for a moment and shook his head, "Not yet. Officer Aota's death is an official matter, but what Officer Sato and the others are investigating is a private matter."

"Whether the two parties are related is just speculation. It is obviously inappropriate to rashly intervene in Director Odagiri's personal affairs."

All right.

Higashino Ning glanced at Shiratori Rensaburo helplessly. He was actually quite good in all aspects, but he was a bit bureaucratic and always followed the rules in everything.

Did I say I was going to intervene rashly?

Let me ask you, doesn’t that ask you to go to Director Odagiri and talk to the premise to try it out?

It's definitely not that Shiratori Rensaburo doesn't understand, but he thinks this is too much and can't do anything.

Then there's no way.

Now Dongye Ning seems to have no other choice but to wait for Mr. Ke to make an effort.

Just wait.

We checked what needed to be checked, we said what needed to be said, and we also reminded what needed to be reminded.

Next, just grab the attention of the media.

Hitano Ning stood up with the help of a chair, "Anyway, everyone is idle, I will take them to investigate. At least we have to do some face-saving work for the media and the public, otherwise I will have to suffer first."

"Yeah." Megure Jusan said that there was no problem, "Thank you for your hard work, brother Hitano."

...

This fish has been touched for three days.

During the day, when I go to work, Haibara Ai is researching the antidote when I go home at night, and they chat before going to bed.

Conan was discharged from the hospital yesterday, and he has not gone to school yet. He stays at home to rest.

Under the careful care of Maori Kogoro, Conan occasionally caught a cold and was extremely uncomfortable.

So... Haibara Ai's first version of the temporary antidote that he rushed to make could not be used. After all, the tester was ill, and even out of humanitarianism, the test should be put on hold.

But this is just what Haibara Ai thinks.

Conan has his own understanding.

He is also very reckless when it comes to taking medicine.

Conan felt that there would be no problem with the drug made by the drug developer Ai Haibara. After asking clearly that the temporary antidote would not interact with the cold medicine he was taking, he stretched out his hand and took the temporary antidote away.

How to say it... Conan believed in Ai Haibara more than Ai Haibara herself.

Maybe this is a natural drug testing saint. After all, he is the man who has brought down the 100% lethality of drug A. Ai Haibara did not dissuade him anymore, but only reminded him not to be too ostentatious at the garden party, so as not to attract the attention of the organization.

Conan patted his chest and made a promise, saying that he was just going to play the role of a knight with a helmet, and then confessed his identity to Ran Maoli, and he would never do anything unnecessary.

Tono Ning: Haha.
