Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

This morning, Gao Cheng drove to the hospital, but was told that Kaori Nakahara had left.

"Did she say where to go?"

"It should be back to work. It doesn't look like her financial situation is very good." The nurse replied.

"That's it, thank you." Gao Cheng remembered that Kaori Nakahara was working in a fast food restaurant, thanked the nurse, and turned to leave the hospital.

The Nihonbashi Commercial Street was still as bustling and lively as ever, but the Nihonbashi incident was discussed in the streets and alleys.

When Gao Cheng came here, he obviously felt the change. On the street TV, the director of Jinshi Metal Factory accepted the media interview and admitted that he followed the minister's instructions.

"Is it Director Qingliu of the manufacturing department?" The reporter asked in the news screen.

"Yes," said the factory manager sincerely, "he said that once the Labor Bureau gets involved in the investigation, it will damage the company's reputation..."

Gao Cheng stopped and watched.

Yesterday morning the factory manager looked like he was admiring Wuming Aoyagi, and the factory manager took the lead in presiding over the funeral ceremony in the evening, but today he completely changed his attitude, shirking responsibility with confidence.

Now that Takeaki Aoyagi has passed away, no one knows what the truth is. Public opinion believes that Fuyuki Yashima killed the victim because of work-related injuries. After the issue escalates to the relationship between employers and workers, no one will pay attention to whether Yashima is the murderer. ...

Kaga was right when he said that there was not much time. He had contacted Takagi just now, and the higher up seemed to be planning to hold a press conference at night to announce the news of Yashima being sent for inspection.

I don't know what Manager Matsumoto thinks, and Police Officer Megure is in charge of Conan's case again. The only person who is acquainted with him in this Nihombashi incident is the good old man Takagi.

The best way now is to find new clues to convince the higher-ups, at least Manager Matsumoto is not like that kind of irresponsible person...

The fast food restaurant where Kaori Nakahara works is not big, and there are transparent cabinets with clearly marked prices and scattered foods, mostly cold dishes and meat, and of course processed fried foods.

There is also a juice machine in the store to sell drinks, and inside is the kitchen.

After Kaori Nakahara came back from the hospital, she wore a white shirt and took care of herself to make herself less haggard. Then she walked into the kitchen from the back door with a smile as usual,

Say hello to the boss who is already busy.

"Good morning, I'm sorry to ask for a few days off temporarily..."

"Well, Miss Zhongyuan," the boss hesitantly stopped Kaori Nakahara, who was about to put on her apron in a hurry, and met the girl's puzzled eyes and said, "It's okay, can you come over?"

Kaori Nakahara was still holding the apron in her hand, and followed the boss out of the back door suspiciously. After seeing the boss silently started smoking with his back turned to her, she unnaturally tightened the apron in her hand.

The store manager held a cigarette, paused, and asked politely: "Miss Zhongyuan, the suspect in the Nihonbashi incident is your boyfriend, right? It's nothing... because regular customers in the store came to ask, saying they saw your house being murdered." Police raids... Well, our business depends on regular customers... It's not good if there are strange rumors going around..."

Kaori Nakahara's body was slightly stiff, her nose was sore, she blinked her eyes to keep from shedding tears, looked at the store manager's embarrassed face without saying anything, pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Walking in the busy streets with a canvas shoulder bag, Kaori Nakahara didn't even know how she left the small shop where she worked. After slowly recovering, she was already walking on the familiar road home.

Usually, I don't feel much, but this meeting is out of tune with the bustling surroundings, what to do with work, what to do with rent, how to live in the future... She no longer has the energy to think about these things.

"Miss Zhongyuan!" Near the dilapidated Lvzhuang apartment, the alleys were surrounded by reporters early on. Seeing Kaori Nakahara appeared, they rushed over like the wind, and everyone was scrambling to be the first, sweating, and making a noise, as if they were about to fight so-so.

"Are you Miss Nakahara Kaori?"

"May I ask your opinion on the Nihonbashi murder incident..."

"Do you live with the suspect?"

"Hey!" Gao Cheng walked out from the corner, "Enough is enough! Don't you have any conscience? If you have any questions, ask them at the press conference!"

"Detective Kido!" The reporters abandoned Kaori Nakahara and flocked to Gao Cheng, "Why did the police let you participate in this incident?"

"Is the involvement of a famous detective another hidden story in the case?"

"Are you here for an investigation?"

"No comment. If there is any problem, we will talk about it after the press conference." Gao Cheng's attitude was indifferent, with a businesslike expression.

The Luzhuang area can’t be said to be bad, but it can’t be said to be good either. Most of them live in ordinary salaried people who come to Tokyo to work, and they are basically old houses. Gao Cheng followed Nakahara Kaori into the house, took off his shoes, and sat in the slightly crowded living room. sit down.

It is said to be the living room, but there are cabinets and beds next to it. It is quite simple, but it is tidy and clean.

Kaori Nakahara poured Gao Cheng a glass of water, bowed her head and sat down on the opposite side of the wooden table, her haggard face could no longer hide her emotions, as if she might cry at any time, but she suppressed it.

Gao Cheng opened his mouth, feeling that the atmosphere was a little stiff, he picked up the water glass on the wooden table to drink water, and his eyes fell on the wooden table that seemed to be spliced ​​together.

"We don't have much money, so he made all these things himself." Nakahara Kaori explained in a low voice, and asked silently, "What will happen to Fuyuki?"

"It is not certain that he killed someone for the time being, but..." Gao Cheng put down his water glass, paused, looked at the girl and said, "Miss Zhongyuan, time is running out, if you can't find any more clues, even Mr. Yashima Still unconscious, the police may also send Mr. Yashima for examination in advance..."

Kaori Nakahara grasped her fingers, looked at the wooden table in a daze and bit her lips, as if seeing Fuyuki Yashima doing carpentry again.

"Anyway," Gao Cheng sighed lightly, stood up and said, "If you can think of anything, please contact me."

He had called the place where Kaori Nakahara worked, but he got the news that Kaori Nakahara had resigned, so he went directly to the apartment to wait for someone.

It seems that it is still a bit reluctant...

"By the way, Miss Zhongyuan," Gao Cheng walked to the entrance, stopped and said, "Just now the landlord came once, and I have already paid the rent owed for you. For now, let's rest at home. I will talk to the reporter." Help you solve it."

After hearing the words, Kaori Zhongyuan looked up at Gao Cheng, then looked away and said, "Thank you...I'll pay you back when I find a job..."

"Call back if you need anything."

Gao Cheng nodded, and was about to leave after putting on his shoes, when the phone rang suddenly, and Kaori Nakahara hurriedly connected the phone, not knowing what the other side said, Kaori Nakahara froze.

"What's wrong?" Gao Cheng turned around in doubt.
