Chapter 126 Scarlet - Prologue
Chapter 126 Scarlet - Prologue
Toru Amuro parked his car on the side of the road, blocked by trees.
Lingzi leaned on the car door with her left hand, "Why is it so slow?"
Amuro Toru tapped the steering wheel and said, "Don't worry, the last piece of the puzzle is coming."
Lingzi nodded.
Suddenly there was a noise from behind.
"Back there, by the stairs."
Toru Amuro stood up, held Lingzi in his arms, leaned on the passenger seat window and looked at Xiao Hei on the stairs.
Um... it's Xiao Hei
Can't see the face clearly.
"Toru, here comes your last piece of the puzzle."
Toru Amuro frowned, got out of the car and walked over.
Shibuya Natsuko.
"Call an ambulance, call the police."
"We won't follow."
Amuro Toru nodded, "It seems that's the case."
"Life has its own calamity, Tou, this is fate's arrangement."
"Okay, I get it. This will all be on Akai Shuichi's head."
Lingzi nodded, made sure she was alive, and the two left...
Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay. It would be fine if he just relaxed a little.
It's okay, they can catch the criminal.
The next day, elementary school
Toru Amuro went with Lingzi. For some reason, he just wanted to keep Lingzi with him.
Kamiya Fumiyuki, "As for me, I just came to complain to the teacher and ask her not to go too far."
"Just because my daughter's handwriting was sloppy, you said she got the answer wrong."
"I arrived here around nine o'clock, but the school was dark and the doors were closed. So I didn't see her in the end."
"Excuse me, is it true that your daughter got the wrong answer because of her illegible handwriting?"
"Yes, all the answers that were miscalculated were actually correct. It should have been 100 points, but in the end it became 60 points."
Judy looked at her, "I think Xia Zi, she wouldn't do something so unreasonable."
"If you don't believe me, I'll show you my daughter's test paper."
"That's not all. She also hired a weird detective."
Inspector Megure looked at him, "Hmm? A weird detective?"
"That's right?"
"Yeah, because I wanted to rush to that teacher's house and curse her. So I walked towards her house, but I didn't expect that I would be caught by the detective all of a sudden."
"You can't blame me for that. I did that because she asked me to deal with the stalker problem."
Emoto Hana led two people in front to lead the way, and Amuro Toru and Rei came in.
"I'm so sorry we're late, Officer."
Toru Amuro walked in and Hana Emoto stood guard by the side.
Inspector Megure looked at him, "Did I ask you to come?"
Takagi scratched his head. "Well, Officer Megure, that's because of the call records on his cell phone. His phone number is also on it."
Then he set his eyes on Lingzi, "As for Miss Lingzi, she is Mr. Amuro's girlfriend, so it's normal for the two of them to be together."
Is this normal?
This is normal.
Amuro Toru looked at the two people over there, "Then what? Those two foreigners over there, are they English teachers?"
"Ah, no, those two are FBI agents, assisting us with the investigation for some reasons."
"Oh? What about FBI agents? That is, people from the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States of America. I often see people like you in movies or TV shows. Because they want to gain credit, they rush to the scene of the crime. They always command others to investigate with a proud look on their faces, and do not take the local police seriously. They are agents that make all the audiences angry."
"what are you saying?"
Lingzi smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Please don't get me wrong, Tou was talking about those actors, not you."
Amuro Toru put his arm around her waist again and hugged her back, "Maybe it's because I just happened to see that kind of plot that I think this way."
Lingzi blinked, "Officer Huiben, that big detective's killing intent seems a bit strong for ordinary people."
When Lingzi said this, both Inspector Megure and Inspector Takagi noticed it.
Inspector Megure frowned. This was indeed a bit too much.
Emoto Hana frowned, "Officer Megure, they shouldn't need to continue investigating here, right? We only need the relevant persons here."
"After all, here..."
When Emoto Hana finished speaking, Inspector Megure also remembered that Lingzi's identity...needs special protection.
Her personal safety cannot be threatened.
Officer Emoto smiled and said, "Well, I'm sorry. Anyone involved in this matter, please stay. The rest of you can wait outside."
Judy touched Cameron and told him to leave. She stayed and continued to listen.
Amuro Toru was talking to Inspector Megure and was not paying attention to the situation here. "Uh, is that so? You were the one who found Shibuya Shimoko injured and called the police to report it?"
"Yes, because in addition to helping her investigate the stalker issue, I was also entrusted to protect her safety."
"That day, I thought I would watch her as usual, pass the park to take a shortcut, and then go back to my home."
"But I didn't expect that she would be pushed down the steps of the park."
"That's exactly what happened. The person who reported the case said that she was pushed down by someone."
"Did you see the criminal?"
"Yes, I saw it at that time. I saw the figure of the criminal standing on the stairs looking down at Miss Shibuya."
"But, unfortunately, because I saw it from inside the car, even though I got out immediately and ran over to check, I still couldn't see his face."
"You only saw the silhouette?"
"Yes, because then I heard the sound of a car starting up and driving away from the stairs. So they must have moved her unconscious body to the car, and then drove to the parking lot next to the stairs of Kitato Park."
"Then he carefully confirmed that there was no one around, and then he pushed Miss Shibuya down the stairs."
"So I think my car was parked on the road below the stairs. It was just hidden by the trees, so the criminal couldn't see me from his perspective."
Takagi looked at him, "Because Kitato Park is open to the public, and after 9pm, almost no one walks around in the park."
"Mr. Amuro's statement is very reliable."
Officer Megure was puzzled. "But, after reporting the case, why didn't you wait for us to arrive at the scene, but left on your own?"
"If you had stayed at the scene, we could have saved ourselves a lot of trouble."
"I'm really sorry. There was another client in my car at the time, and the other client didn't want to have anything to do with this matter."
Judy looked at him incredulously, "So you left Xia Zi, who was seriously injured, on the road and walked away?"
"Of course, I will only leave the scene after I confirm that the ambulance has arrived. Is that not okay?"
Lingzi smiled and said, "No one stipulates that I must guard her, right?"
"Don't be like this, because Agent Judy and Teacher Shibuya are good friends. That's why..."
"I see, she's your good friend. If that's the case, it's possible that the criminal has a grudge against the FBI and is targeting Ms. Shibuya as a means of revenge."
"What did you say?"
Officer Huiben stood in front of Lingzi and said, "Agent Judy, please calm down."
Conan came out again, "Wait, let's not talk about this for now. Let's first ask about the details of what happened."
"I met with Mr. Shibuya last night, or I had an appointment to meet him. Now there are only those three people over there, right?"
"That's right. We need to find the culprit first. We need to bring to justice the culprit who attacked Natsuko in this staff room, causing her to pass out, and then pushed her into the park."
Amuro Toru smiled, and Lingzi was about to come out of his arms, "That's right."
Amuro Toru looked at her with some confusion, "I'm going to go drink some water."
Amuro Toru let her go, "Come back soon."
Lingzi nodded, and Huibenhua looked at her, "I'll just go with Miss Lingzi."
Amuro Toru nodded, and he felt relieved.
Officer Takagi looked at him and said, "Mr. Amuro really values his girlfriend."
Amuro Toru looked at Takagi and nodded, "Yes, it's baby."
Inspector Megure was helpless. Even though he had been married for so many years, he felt sick of watching this.
But it seems normal.
This is what couples in the honeymoon period are like.
If Emoto Hana knew what Inspector Megure was thinking, the passionate love period?
They have been married for six years and are still so clingy. Can you compare with them?
"In that case, please tell me what happened last night in detail."
Amuro Toru looked at them seriously.
