Chapter 182 Fighting for Custody?

Tomoaki Shinide was silent.

The ID in his hand looked quite real, but now those who make fake IDs are also very arrogant, so there is no way to judge based on this alone.

Seeing Tomoaki Shinide start to hesitate, Judy continued:

"I can contact the headquarters, and there will be no difficulty in proving my identity. Don't worry about that."

Judy said it confidently, so Tomoaki Shinide believed it for the time being.

He pinched his knuckles, "I wonder what the witness protection program is like?"

If you are willing to understand, there will be a chance.

Judy immediately began to introduce.

The so-called witness protection program is to give the target a new identity and let him go to the United States to start a new life.

"But before you go to the United States, we need you to cooperate with the fake death, let the other party think you are really dead, and then pretend to be you."

"Her whereabouts are erratic, we need to use this form to circle her range of activities."

"Please rest assured, we will never let you have any accidents during the cooperation period, and life in the United States will not last long. You can come back after the things here are resolved."

Judy continued to strengthen psychological output, "Mr. Niide, instead of staying in Japan, it is better to go to the United States to relax, right?"

Tomoaki Niide's stepmother killed his father.

Japan is indeed a sad place for him at present.

"Okay, I agree."

Tomoaki Niide nodded vigorously, "I don't have any extra conditions."

After the matter was settled, Judy stood up and said goodbye.

After leaving Tomoaki Niide's house, she immediately called Shuichi Akai to explain the situation.

"Vermouth... How should you deal with it this time?"

...

Metropolitan Police Department.

Higashino Ning sent Maori Kogoro out of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Mr. Maori, the wanted order for Youcheng Zhen was issued last night, and he has not been found yet. We need to wait."

"Ms. Nino Tamaki's whereabouts have been confirmed, and it seems to be quite normal at present."

The confused detective pondered: "Then...what about Chief Odagiri, can he be cleared of suspicion?"

Higashino Ning didn't know what expression to make, "In my opinion, the chief himself is not a suspect, and the same is true for his son, but there is no direct evidence to prove it for the time being."

Having seen Higashino Ning's reasoning, and witnessed his amazing promotion from patrol to police chief.

So Maori Kogoro still trusts Higashino Ning's personal ability.

Since the other party said so, it seems that his old boss did not commit the crime.

Wait...

The confused detective was a little surprised, "So, Inspector Higashino, have you confirmed that the criminal is You Chengzhen?"

"What do you mean by that?" Higashino Ning waved his hand quickly, "Don't help me make a conclusion, I didn't say that, in fact, I don't think the real criminal is among these people."

This time, Maori Kogoro was even more confused, "Huh? The criminal is not among the suspects... I'm a little dizzy, can Inspector Higashino help me sort it out?"

Higashino Ning looked at the time and simply pointed at the car, "Let's get in the car and talk while driving. It just so happens that I have to go to the hospital to see the condition of Officer Sato."

After getting in the car, he told the confused detective his current thoughts.

The main entry point is still the case from a year ago.

Since it has been decided to overturn the case and change the suicide to homicide, You Chengzhen and Nino Huan will not be the murderers in the first place.

There is no contradiction between the former and the deceased, and the latter is the deceased's biological sister, and she did not have the conditions to commit the crime at that time.

Once these two were ruled out, and the Odagiri father and son were also cleared out, the pool of suspects was empty in an instant.

The reason why Tono Ning had to tell Maori Kogoro so clearly was because he felt that the confused detective was now a major "stakeholder" in the case.

If the confused detective really had that ability, he would never continue to hide, and could assist Tono Ning in catching the criminal at a faster speed.

But Maori Kogoro was obviously more confused after hearing this.

Originally there was a target, but now there is no target at all. How can this case be solved?

He patted his forehead, "If that's the case, why didn't you stop Inspector Megure from issuing a wanted order?"

After saying that, he reacted again, "Yes, now we have to give the public an explanation, and it can also divert the media's attention."

Seeing that the police were busy and their targets were accurate, if nothing else, at least the public would not fall into panic, and would also change from a state of suspicion and discussion to a mode of quietly watching and waiting for the results.

The confused detective couldn't help but look deeply at Tono Ning.

What a cruel young man!

If the "non-existent" murderer cannot be found in a short time, then the momentum of Tono Ning and the entire police will be reversed and then collapsed.

In Maori Kogoro's opinion, Tono Ning is not a reckless person.

So... Tono Ning is confident that he can solve this case, which he thinks has no clue, in a short time.

It is really not an empty saying that the disciple is better than the master.

He is really a formidable junior.

...

Came to the hospital.

Maori Kogoro went to see his daughter, and Tono Ning went to see his good friend.

Pushed open the ward.

The aroma of food instantly rushed into the nose.

Sato Miwako has woken up and is drinking soup with a spoon.

How to say, it's wrong... Because Tono Ning repeatedly reminded and warned, Sato Miwako always had a certain psychological expectation of being attacked.

Therefore, when protecting Xiaolan and responding to gunfire, her defensive posture allowed most of the bullets to hit insignificant areas.

The bullet that nearly penetrated the heart was pure bad luck.

Seeing Higashino Ning, Miwako Sato's eyes were filled with mist, and she bit her spoon feeling very guilty.

"Higashiya...I'm sorry, if I had listened to you honestly, things wouldn't be like this."

How "verbose" Higashino Ning was before, how guilty Sato Miwako is now.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if it hadn't happened this time, the murderer would have found a way to continue to attack you."

"I see...Officer Sato, you are destined to suffer a certain fate. There is no way you can escape."

He said it easily, and Sato Miwako's tense spirit also relaxed.

Seniors and juniors, older sisters and younger brothers.

Now these two identities are almost reversed.

"No... I am still the 'sister'..."

Sato Miwako took a sip of the spoon and followed Higashino Ning's rhythm to shake off the miscellaneous thoughts and guilt.

"By the way, Dongye, you usually eat so well at home!"

She said angrily: "I think it would be better for Xiao Ai to live in my house from now on!"

Why are you robbing people?

Dongye Ning sat down directly next to Haiyuan Ai, "Xiao Ai, you decide who you want to be with."

etc......

The three of them suddenly realized a problem.

How is this a bit like a custody battle?

What the hell!

Haibara Ai immediately hugged Higashino Ning's arm and declared her sovereignty, "Brother Higashino and I!"
