Chapter 172 People Die One After Another

Rena Mizuno's interview was very normal, without any traps, she just wanted to restore the truth to the public.

This was a bit unexpected for Tono Ning, but he was also very satisfied.

After all, the current public opinion is indeed too targeted at him, and it is not bad to have a "companion" to relieve the pressure.

As for whether Rena Mizuno has other purposes... I can't see it for the time being.

Even if the other party really has other little thoughts, it doesn't matter. How should you deal with the "are you CIA or Kiel"?

There is no way. Don't you red team like to communicate with each other and expose your identity?

I will eat this little thing for the rest of my life!

The interview is over.

Tono Ning sent Rena Mizuno and others away.

Stretching and feeling comfortable all over, I feel that my soul has been sublimated, and the whole person is floating in the air.

"Go home, go home, go home to accompany the little loli to eat and have fun~"

Tono Ning took a step, and the phone started to vibrate directly.

It was Megure Jusan's call.

Answered.

"Brother Higashino, Officer Shiba is dead. We received a call 20 minutes ago."

Higashino Ning: "..."

He was so annoyed that he asked directly, "Inspector, didn't you say you would remind him? Why did it happen?!"

Megure Jusan said helplessly, "I reminded him! Officer Shiba was killed in the basement garage of his home. It seems that he was caught by the murderer as soon as he got out of the car."

Oh, this... okay.

Higashino Ning instructed again, "Inspector Sato must be recalled now, and tell her not to make any more moves."

After hanging up the phone, he was still a little worried about Megure Jusan's efficiency, so he immediately called Sato Miwako and told her to either stay at home and not go out, or stay in the Metropolitan Police Department and not go home. It would be best if Takagi Shigeru protected her closely.

Whether Sato Miwako agreed or not, Higashino Ning would let Takagi Shigeru do the last one.

After instructing Sato Miwako, Higashino Ning sent a text message to the little Lolita saying that he would be home very late tonight and asked her to go to bed early.

Although he didn't have to go to the crime scene, Tono Ning had to stay at the Metropolitan Police Department. He was the person in charge of the case and he couldn't run away now.

The reason why he didn't call Huihara Ai was because he suddenly didn't want to speak.

Maybe he was tired.

Being a policeman is like this. The double fatigue of the mind and the body repeats over and over again, and sometimes they appear together.

Rather than letting the uncontrolled tone affect Huihara Ai, it is better to express it directly in words.

...

The busy night is finally over.

Tono Ning's red eyes match the unstoppable yawning.

Yesterday, 0 reward points were credited all day.

It seems that the movie version also affects the occurrence of daily cases.

"Brother Higashino, let's leave it at that for now. This matter... we should still keep it secret if possible."

Hearing what Megure Jusan said, Higashino Ning was furious, "Still keeping it secret? Three detectives have already died because of Minister Odagiri's delay. What else does he want?"

"Anyway, he just wants to make sure whether his son has committed a crime. Let me check it out!"

"Won't we all know once we check it out?"

If it were a normal anime plot, Higashino Ning should have grabbed Megure Jusan's collar now.

But he really couldn't do this.

Megure Jusan was silent for a while, then sighed, "It is precisely because the situation is extremely unfavorable to Chief Odagiri that we have to continue to conceal it."

"The news of the internal discord in the police cannot be leaked. No matter how chaotic it is, it must be seen as a united front in the eyes of outsiders."

He looked at Tono Ning deeply, "Brother Tono, you are a flower blooming in the corrupt system. You must learn to protect yourself before you can finally turn this quagmire into pure land."

"After this incident is over, you will be transferred to Nagano. Leaving earlier will also allow you to come back earlier. The current Tokyo police system needs to take a breath, otherwise the roaring beast that feels threatened will swallow you up completely."

...

Tono Ning was very silent on the way from the Metropolitan Police Department to Kudo's house. He fell asleep soon after taking a shower and lying on the bed.

Megure Jusan was right.

Too hard is easy to break.

And this incident is not a simple serial murder case, but a secret struggle between the new and old factions.

Although it was just a small beginning of a conflict, Tono Ning was still a little overwhelmed.

After all, he was already a leader among the "new faction", while he was just a small police inspector.

"Old faction" member Chief Odagiri just subconsciously put a little pressure on him, and the suffocating feeling was overwhelming.

Fortunately, Chief Odagiri did not really want to do anything to him, nor did he deliberately use this case to provoke conflicts between the two factions. He just wanted to find out the truth of last year's case.

Based on this point, as long as Tono Ning solves this case well, Chief Odagiri will not be an obstacle on his way forward.

The other party is a member of the Shiratori family's ship, and it is only a matter of time before he recognizes the new faction.

If Tono Ning can become the main driving force for the other party to change his attitude and give the other party a reason to accept the change, then Chief Odagiri will definitely train him as an important person and give him help.

After all... changing attitude without doing anything is not in line with the interests of the Shiratori family.

Sleep.

Sleep well and work well.

After being away for a while, I should be able to be promoted to Superintendent of Police when I come back.

Why is Dong Ye Ning so sure?

Because the whole of Tokyo is separated from Tono Ning, all the police have to rely on Maori Kogoro to solve the case.

At that time, the higher-ups will truly see the value and importance of Tono Ning.

...

On the other side.

Maori Detective Agency.

The confused detective just finished calling Megure Jusan.

This morning's news reports and newspapers all said that a new detective was killed last night.

As a former detective, Maori Kogoro would naturally feel indignant about this.

Unfortunately, Megure Jusan's attitude towards his questioning was quite direct, and he clearly told him not to ask.

Conan, who was reading the newspaper and listening, instantly realized that there might be a problem within the police, otherwise Megure Jusan would have no reason to remain silent.

In the past, although Megure Jusan would also be reluctant to say anything, he would eventually explain the whole thing to Maori Kogoro.

Today is really too abnormal.

"Problems within the police...why don't you ask Officer Tono?"

Conan was also very concerned about the case, so he naturally thought of looking for his "inside police" to understand the situation.

But after hesitating for a long time, he decided to call in the evening.

Dong Ye Ning is the person in charge of the case. He must have had no time to rest last night. He might have fallen asleep now.

At this time, Mao Li Ran suddenly spoke.

"By the way, Dad, tomorrow, Inspector Shiratori's sister is going to hold an engagement party. The invitation has been sent before. Don't forget it."

Mao Li Kogoro rolled his eyes wildly, "They really know how to choose the time. They actually chose to hold an engagement party at this time."

"But people can't predict the future," Mao Li Ran took out the invitation from the documents on the table, "They set the time a long time ago. It's not Inspector Shiratori's fault for this kind of thing."
