Chapter 172: People Die One After Another
Rena Mizunashi's interview was very normal, without any traps, she just simply wanted to restore the truth to the public.
This was a little beyond Dong Ye Ning's expectations, but it also made him very satisfied.
After all, the current public opinion is indeed too directed against him, and it would be nice to have a "companion" to relieve the pressure.
As for whether Rena Mizunashi has other purposes...I can't tell for the time being.
Even if the other party really has other intentions, it doesn’t matter. How should you respond when they ask you “Are you the CIA or Kiel?”
There's no way. Don't you guys on the red team dislike communicating with each other and exposing your identities?
I will suffer for your little trouble for the rest of my life!
The interview is over.
Tono Ning sent Mizuno Rena and others away.
I felt so comfortable all over after stretching, my soul felt sublimated and I felt like I was floating in the air.
"Let's go home, let's go home and have fun with little Loli~"
Dong Ye Ning took a step forward and the phone started vibrating.
It was Megure Juzo calling.
connected.
"Brother Dongye, Officer Shiba is dead. We received the call 20 minutes ago."
Dong Ye Ning: "......"
He was so annoyed that he asked directly, "Inspector, didn't you say you would warn him? How did something go wrong?!"
Megure Jusan said helplessly, "I reminded you! Officer Shiba was killed in the basement garage of his home. It seems that he was caught by the murderer just after he got out of the car."
Ah this... okay.
Dong Ye Ning instructed again, "Inspector Sato must be recalled now and told not to make any more moves."
After hanging up the phone, he was still a little worried about Megure Juzo's efficiency, so he immediately called Sato Miwako and asked her to either stay at home and not go out, or stay in the Metropolitan Police Department and not go home, and it would be best to have Takagi Wataru provide close protection.
For the last point, regardless of whether Sato Miwako agrees or not, Tono Ning will let Takagi Wataru do it.
After instructing Sato Miwako, Higashino Ning sent a text message to the little girl 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, Higashino had to stay in the Metropolitan Police Department. He was the person in charge of the case and he definitely couldn't run away now.
The reason why he didn't call Haibara Ai was because he suddenly didn't want to speak.
Maybe I'm tired.
This is what being a police officer is like. The dual fatigue of mental and physical fatigue repeats over and over again, and sometimes occurs together.
Instead of letting the poorly controlled tone affect Haibara Ai, it is better to express it directly in words.
...
A busy night is finally over.
Dong Ye Ning's red eyes matched his unstoppable yawning.
Yesterday, I received 0 reward points all day.
It seems that the theatrical version also affects the occurrence of daily cases.
"Brother Dongye, let's leave it at that for now. This matter... can still be kept secret if possible."
Hearing what Megure Jusan said, Toyonen was furious, "Still hiding it? Three detectives have already died because of Minister Odagiri's delay. What else does he want?"
"Anyway, he just wants to make sure his son has committed a crime, so let me check it out!"
"Wouldn't it all be clear if we just checked?"
If it were a normal anime plot, Higashino Ning should have grabbed Megure Jusan's collar now.
But he really couldn't do this kind of action.
Megure Jusan was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "It is precisely because the situation has become extremely unfavorable to Chief Odagiri that we have to continue to conceal it."
"The news of discord within the police force must not be leaked. No matter how chaotic the situation is, it must appear to be a united front in the eyes of outsiders."
He looked at Dong Ye Ning deeply and said, "Brother Dong Ye, you are a flower blooming in a corrupt system. You must learn to protect yourself so that you can eventually turn this quagmire into pure land."
"After this incident is over, you will be transferred to Nagano. The sooner you leave, the sooner you can come back. The current Tokyo police system needs to take a breather, otherwise the roaring beast that feels threatened will devour you completely."
...
On the way from the Metropolitan Police Department to Kudo's house, Tono Ning was very silent. After taking a shower, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
Megure Jusan is right.
Too rigid and easy to break.
And this incident is not just a simple serial murder case, but a secret struggle between the old and new factions.
Although it was just the beginning of a small conflict, Dong Ye Ning still found it a little difficult to cope with it.
After all, he is already a leader among the "new school", but he is just a small police captain.
Chief Odagiri, an "old school" staff member, only subconsciously gave him a little pressure, but the feeling of suffocation was overwhelming.
Fortunately, Chief Odagiri didn't really want to do anything to him, nor was he deliberately using this case to stir up conflict between the two factions. He just simply wanted to find out the truth of last year's case.
Based on this point, as long as Tono Ning solves this case well, Director Odagiri will not be an obstacle on his way forward.
The other party is actually a member of the Shiratori family’s ship, so it is only a matter of time before he recognizes the new faction.
If Higashino Ning can become the main driving force behind the other party's change of attitude and give the other party a reason to accept the change, then Director Odagiri will definitely train him as an important person and give him help.
After all...just changing attitude without taking action is not in the interests of the Shiratori family itself.
go to bed.
Sleep well and work well.
After being away from home for a period of time, I should be able to be promoted to Superintendent of Police when I come back.
Why is Dong Ye Ning so sure?
Because the entire Tokyo is without Tono Ning, all police forces have to rely on Mouri Kogoro to solve the case.
Only then will the higher-ups truly see Dong Ye Ning’s value and importance.
...
the other side.
Maori Detective Agency.
The confused detective just finished calling Megure Jusan.
This morning's news reports and newspapers are saying that a new detective was killed last night.
As a former detective, Kogoro Mori would naturally feel indignant about this.
Unfortunately, Megure Juzo's attitude towards his questions was quite direct, and he clearly told him not to ask any questions.
Conan, who was reading a newspaper while listening, instantly realized that there might be a problem within the police, otherwise there was no reason for Megure Juzo to remain silent.
If it were in the past, although Megure Juzo would be reluctant to tell the story, he would eventually explain what happened to Kogoro Mori.
Today is really abnormal.
"It's a problem within the police...why don't you ask Officer Higashino?"
Conan was also very concerned about the case, so naturally he thought of looking for his "insider in the police" to find out more.
But after hesitating for a while, he decided to call again in the evening.
Dong Ye Ning is the person in charge of the case. He definitely didn't have time to rest last night and might have fallen asleep now.
At this time, Mao Lilan suddenly spoke.
"By the way, Dad, Inspector Shiratori's sister is going to hold an engagement party tomorrow. She has already sent the invitations. Don't forget them."
Maori Kogoro rolled his eyes, "They really know how to pick a time. They actually choose a time like this to hold an engagement party."
"But we can't predict the future," Mao Lilan took out the invitation from the documents on the table, "They set the date a long time ago. It's not the fault of Inspector Shiratori and others if something like this happens."
