Chapter 362 Conan: You can't gamble with the conscience of criminals
"Brother Tou, are you in a bad mood today?"
After finishing work, Yin Jiu took the initiative to buy two bottles of Coke and handed one of them to Amuro Toru. "Have something sweet. Although I don't know what happened, it must be something very difficult to make you look so sad."
"Thank you." Toru Amuro took the cold drink handed to him by Yin Jiu, took a sip, and indeed felt better.
The Metropolitan Police Department has been in turmoil recently. We have received news from the Public Security Department that several on-duty detectives have been killed.
The case is complicated, and one of the suspects even had a list of names on the Metropolitan Police Department in his hand before he died in the line of duty - which seems to imply that it was done by senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department.
The worse news is that the case has been fermenting for a week, and now there is a tendency that it cannot be suppressed. If it continues like this and the truth is exposed, the credibility of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will inevitably be damaged.
As the person in charge of the Tokyo area, Rei Furutani sensed the seriousness of the situation earlier than anyone else.
In particular, he suspected that there were also undercover agents lurking among the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department. Once the investigation was launched, the enemy would be in the dark and we would be in the light, and it was possible that this identity of Furuya Rei would be exposed.
"Xiao Jiu, I may need to complete some investigation tasks alone during this period. It will take a week. You have to find a way to take care of your diet during this period."
"Yeah, okay." Yin Jiu nodded obediently and quickly connected the logical lines in his mind.
An investigation mission sounds like some time-limited mission assigned by Rum, but judging from Bourbon's tone, it's not that simple.
Yin Jiu was silent for a moment and soon figured it out.
Rum might have been informed of Naoko Sawada's affairs. The investigation team has been secretly misappropriating his blood samples every year. There must be something fishy going on.
It just so happened that Bourbon looked worried at this time. It might be that the mission was not an investigation at all, but to directly tie him up and hand him over to Rum, or investigate his weaknesses or something like that.
No wonder Bourbon felt embarrassed.
Yin Jiu saw Amuro Toru's embarrassment, and considerately helped his colleague pick up the canvas bag next to him, without saying anything else.
The next day.
Yin Jiu was holding an umbrella and walking with Suzuki Sonoko on the way home from school at Teitan High School.
"So, Senior Sister Lan has taken leave to recuperate at home during this period of time?" Yin Jiu pressed down the umbrella, his expression somewhat confused.
"Yes, Officer Sato's incident has brought great stimulation to Xiaolan. The doctor said that it might be the defense mechanism activated by the brain under stimulation." Suzuki Sonoko's expression was depressed. Her best friend had memory impairment because of the police assault case. Even the way she looked at her became very strange. This feeling was really terrible. "I am really worried about Xiaolan. What if she can't remember me anymore..."
"I understand how you feel." Yin Jiu patted Suzuki Sonoko on the shoulder, "But you should also give Senior Sister Lan some time. Although stimulation-induced amnesia is rare, most patients will recover their memories after a certain period of time."
"And Dr. Feng Hu is a nice guy. I've had some conversations with him. He's a very responsible young doctor. He shouldn't be so passive as to affect the treatment results."
"That's true." Suzuki Sonoko felt a little relieved after listening to Yin Jiu's words. But when she thought about how Yin Jiu was also a patient who often suffered from insomnia and needed to rely on a psychologist, she felt a little guilty. "By the way, Xiao Jiu, have you gotten better from your insomnia recently? I heard that you took a long leave again."
"Well, my insomnia has actually improved a lot. The reason I asked for leave this time was completely other than that." Yin Jiu smiled and didn't explain too much.
Before they knew it, the two of them had arrived near the Maori Detective Agency.
"Xiaojiu, Yuanzi...are you here to visit Xiaolan?"
Because of Mouri Ran's amnesia, Mouri Kogoro and Kisaki Eri were able to put aside their past grudges and no longer live separately but live together.
When Yin Jiu and Suzuki Sonoko came over, Maori Kogoro and Kisaki Eri were glaring at each other, as if they were arguing about something.
Conan was sandwiched between the two of them. When he saw Suzuki Sonoko push open the door, he immediately ran over as if he had seen a savior.
"Yeah, is Xiaolan feeling better today?" Suzuki Sonoko was obviously familiar with the layout of the Suzuki family. When she saw Conan running over and looking around, her eyes looked towards the innermost part of the room.
"Sister Xiaolan is in the room." Conan spoke in a baby voice. When he saw Yin Jiu following behind, his eyes suddenly flashed and he moved closer to Yin Jiu.
"Brother Yinjiu, are you back for class today? Why didn't I see Brother Amuro?"
Ever since Hattori Heiji got into trouble, there seemed to be no movement from Yin Jiu. Conan was worried about Yin Jiu and he and Haibara Ai went to his villa twice.
The result, of course, was nothing. For several days in a row, Yin Jiu's house was quiet and seemed as if no one lived there at all.
Then he asked Mao Lilan about Yin Jiu's situation in school, but he only heard that Yin Jiu seemed to have taken leave to handle personal matters, and he didn't know any details.
One of his companions was killed, and Conan didn't even know Judy's identity, so he was naturally worried that Yin Jiu would also be harmed.
So when Conan saw Yin Jiu coming, his subconscious reaction was to look for Mr. Amuro, who was suspected to be a member of the organization.
As a second-generation member, Yin Jiu was involved in the fight within their organization and might be severely suppressed and monitored.
However, there was nothing behind Yin Jiu, which made Conan frown.
"Brother Tou? He's busy with other things." Yin Jiu subconsciously looked back following Conan's line of sight. Noticing Conan's slightly suspicious look, he half-crouched down and said, "What's wrong? Aren't you unfamiliar with him? If you have anything to ask him, I can actually pass it on for you."
"I'm fine." Conan scratched his head and stepped aside.
Speaking of which, Yin Jiu never had the habit of being picked up by Amuro Toru during school hours. If the other party really wanted to control Yin Jiu's actions, he could have continued to ask for leave and locked Xiao Jiu at home.
The strangest thing is that on Hattori Heizo's side, Heiji's death was not made public, and even the investigation was omitted.
As a relative of the victim, Hattori Heizo suppressed all the investigations on his own and directly took away Hattori Heiji's body.
So much so that up to now, he doesn't have any clues at all.
Maybe Hattori Heizo knew something... That's why even the Osaka Prefecture chief had to retreat and even swallow his anger. Maybe the power behind the Black Organization was far greater than he realized.
Conan remained silent and allowed Yin Jiu to follow Suzuki Sonoko to Mouri Ran's room.
I recalled the idea that Haibara Ai mentioned casually when I was chatting with her not long ago.
"If I were her, I would probably want to keep losing my memory like this... No matter if it's good or bad, it has nothing to do with me anymore."
If the organization's strength is really so great that they cannot contend with it, will Mao Lilan, who has completely lost her memory, be spared?
No, he couldn't gamble on the consciences of those criminals.
