Chapter 259 The Correct Solution to the So-Called Case
Chapter 260: The Correct Solution to the So-Called Case
"Hu..." Sato let out a long breath after being freed from the bathroom. It seemed that these few hours had been really hard for Sato.

"So, Officer Sato, where are we going now?"

"Well... I'd better contact Takagi-kun first." Sato thought about it. After all, he had lost contact with the police station for a long time. If he went out rashly, he might be discovered by other police officers, and then Mr. Higashida's matter would become more troublesome. So Sato took the lead in calling Takagi. "Moshimoshi, Takagi-kun, it's me. Ah, my handcuffs have been opened. Well, it's not that someone found it, but... um, I didn't handcuff them properly. After shaking it for a while, I found that they could be opened."

"Hehe, this woman..." I couldn't help but smile after listening to Sato's words.

"Yeah, yeah? Really? Well, I'll be there right away." After saying that, Sato looked at his watch and hung up the phone. "Let's go, Mr. Higashida, Takagi-kun has the evidence, let's go to the crime scene together."

"Really?" Dong Tian said excitedly. "Do you know who the murderer is?"

"It's Mr. Kitagawa who works with you."

"Eh? It's actually him!" Dongtian was also slightly surprised. Although he was framed, he never thought that the person who framed him was Kitagawa who worked under the same roof with him.

"Well, that's what Takagi-kun analyzed. Anyway, let's go first." Sato said seriously. "By the way, Xiaoxun, it's already late, and the case here is basically solved. If you're sleepy, you can go back and rest first. I'll call a police car to take you back later."

"No, your words have made me feel refreshed." I shook my head hastily. Going home in a police car? Please spare me. "I'll go with you. Conan and the others are there too, and I just want to know how difficult this case is that took them so long."

"Long?" Sato looked at his watch. It took less than 8 hours from the time he met the kids in the afternoon to the time the case was solved. Although Takagi-kun is still confirming it, it is already fast in terms of time. "Well... let's go over and take a look first."

After that, we walked out of the museum. After all, it was already night. The staff had gone back to rest long ago. So we were not worried about being seen by them.

We reached out to stop a taxi and drove straight to where Mr. Higashida lived. Sato didn't dare to go out in the open now. After so long without any news, I guess all the police in Mika City are looking for Sato and Takagi like crazy. If he saw the police outside, he might kill Higashida on the spot. . .

"We got in a taxi and dodged several police cars on the way. We arrived at Mr. Higashida's apartment trembling with fear and went up to the sixth floor. We saw that the door of Mr. Higashida's room was open and the children and Takagi were investigating inside."

"Takagi-kun, we're here." Sato greeted.

"Sato-san!" Takagi rushed over and saluted. "Sato-san, I have roughly grasped the truth of the whole case."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Takagi-kun. Tell me more." Sato immediately got into work mode. I also moved closer to Shiho.

"What? Have you had enough fun and decided to come out?" Shiho yawned and looked at me as if she understood what was going on.

"Well... it's fun to play like this occasionally, isn't it?" I said with a smile.

"Well, did you have fun?" As Shiho said this, her little hand had already reached out to my waist.

"No way..." I begged hastily. "I just wanted to get some information from her to see if it's useful."

"Information? So, what information did you get?" Shiho looked like she was going to make trouble if you dared to quibble.

"Yeah... the breasts are really big. Hiss... it hurts, it hurts."

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"Kaoru, you're here." After Conan and Takagi analyzed the case, Conan noticed me playing with Shiho nearby. "I knew that the handcuffs wouldn't bother you."

"I don't want to be exposed." I shrugged, "But if I don't use this skill, Sato's bladder will probably explode. I might as well help her."

"You really are... After all, Officer Sato is a woman, it's too rude of you to say that." Conan frowned.

"Hey, isn't it you and me who are talking?" I smiled indifferently. "On your side, it's been six or seven hours. The case is still not solved? This time you went to the scene in person."

"Well, after some investigation, it has been solved. Why, do you want to go up and take a look?" Conan said, looking at his watch.

"Go up?"

"Yes, Miss Muranishi's room is upstairs." Conan pointed. "That's where Mr. Higashida and Mr. Kitagawa committed the crime."

"Haha, haha..." I narrowed my eyes. "Muranishi, Higashida, Kitagawa, plus Conan... haha. The author knows how to have fun. It's so easy to go around."

"Ah? What did you say?"

"It's okay." I shook my head and turned to look at Shiho. "Do you want to go back to bed early?"

"Yeah, I'm a little sleepy." Shiho yawned symbolically. "But what does this have to do with the investigation?"

"Let's go up and take a look. See if there is any way to solve the case quickly."

"So, we have solved it here." Conan patted my shoulder. "I took you upstairs just to let you know the situation. This has nothing to do with whether the case is solved quickly or not. Next, we just need to wait for the police to come and arrest Mr. Kitagawa directly. Let's go upstairs and take a look." After that, Conan said hello to Sato and Takagi, and said he would take me upstairs to take a look. Sato said he also wanted to see the scene, so Takagi took the children and a large group of troops to Miss Muranishi's room upstairs again.

"Oh? The layout of the two rooms is the same?" As soon as I entered the room, I glanced at the room and immediately saw the situation.

"Yes, this is one of the methods used by the criminal." Conan nodded, and then pointed to the bed and the wall. "Over there are traces of furniture being moved, and there is a calendar on the wall, the calendar of the Soul Team. And Mr. Higashida is from the Anti-Soul Team."

"Huh?" I raised an eyebrow and looked around. "Beige-themed room, but with grey curtains and sheets? So it's copied?"

"Yes, Mr. Higashida was drunk that day, and he took out the calendar of the Soul Team that he didn't like, and then moved out the cactus that was not in the room." Conan pointed to me while saying, "This is also because he was drunk, so it was difficult for Mr. Higashida to notice the changes in the room, so he fell into the trap."

"Wait, let me go see the cactus." After realizing the cactus, I seemed to have found a breakthrough and walked directly in the direction Conan had just pointed, which was the balcony.

"Cactus is Miss Muranishi's favorite plant, but Mr. Higashida doesn't have any. It was moved here on purpose."

"Well, it was Beichuan who did it?" I said, observing the cactus. "That's my guess."

"Oh, then why don't we just let the police extract blood for DNA testing? What case are they investigating?"

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

Three doubtful voices sounded at the same time, coming from Conan, Sato, and Takagi.

"Xiaoxun, what do you mean by that?" Sato had also heard Takagi's report, and after listening to Conan's conversation with me for half a day, he probably understood the whole story. After hearing what I said, he squatted down and asked me.

"Look, this." I pointed to a pot of cactus on the ground. "This pot is a golden tiger cactus. Are some of the thorns here broken?"

"Ah, yes, what's the matter?" Sato asked after taking a closer look.

"Stupid, didn't you see the dark red at the base of these thorns?" I handed the cactus to Sato. "Although it's very small, it should be detectable if we test it, right? Blood DNA or something."

"Well, yes, but..."

"Why don't you just take it and test it against the suspect? How long has it been since the crime happened? I don't think the wounds will heal well, okay? Just looking at the wounds and testing the DNA will take no more than three hours. You took so long."

"Uh... you do make sense." Sato smiled helplessly, Takagi also became dazed. Conan held his forehead directly. It seemed that things were not as simple as you thought.

"In short, the suspects are none other than Mr. Higashida and Mr. Kitagawa. Let's do some tests. If there's any error, then follow your reasoning. That's it. Okay, let's go back to sleep." After saying that, I pulled Shiho out.

"Hey, wait, wait a minute, Xiaoxun." Ayumi tried to stop me. "If that happens, wouldn't all our contributions be wasted?"

"Uh... so you solved the case just to show off?" I frowned slightly. "Who brought these?"

"Hey, Sminase..." Conan immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"..Forget it, forget it." I said helplessly. "If you like, continue playing. I'll accompany you. But don't forget what you promised me last time when you busted the counterfeit money gang. Start accepting my training."

"Hi~~~"

"Hi~~~"

"Hi~~~"

The children excitedly raised their hands in agreement, but I don’t know whether they will remember what I said tomorrow.

In order to get Mr. Higashida vindicated as soon as possible, Sato immediately called Officer Megure after understanding the entire development of the case. Although he was scolded badly, the case was not delayed at all. Overnight, Officer Megure went to the home of the suspect Kitagawa with the children and confronted the criminal on the spot. All the evidence pointed to him. Within fifteen minutes, Kitagawa pleaded guilty. After all, the DNA test was in front of him, and there was no room for rebuttal. In the middle of the night, Mr. Higashida also thanked Sato and Takagi with tears on his face. Sato and Takagi kept apologizing, after all, they had caught the wrong person. In short, the ending was good. Mr. Higashida also went home directly under the escort of the police officer. He took the plane ticket and his daughter's letter and went straight to the airport. It seemed that he was going to spend the night there. The children were also sent to Dr. Agasa's home. Because they had told their parents that they would stay here tonight, it was impossible for them to go home. However, the children had just walked into Dr. Agasa's house, and after taking turns to wash up, they were instantly overwhelmed by the praise and fell asleep on the sofa.

"These kids..." Conan shook his head helplessly as he looked at the three people who had fallen asleep, and covered them with blankets.

"It's all your fault." I scolded with a smile. "If you hadn't been the one who dominated the limelight, the kids wouldn't have fought so hard."

"Uh... okay, my bad." Conan spread his hands. "Then I'll go to sleep." After that, Conan walked towards Dr. Agasa's room. Because there were two beds there. "You and Huibara, don't do anything weird... Uh, okay, I won't say anything, good night, good night." Facing the black muzzle of the gun and my blackened face, Conan waved his hands and ran out.

"Hu..." After Conan left, I also let out a long sigh. When I arrived at the guest bedroom of the doctor's house, Shiho was already lying on the bed, covered with a quilt and asleep. There was a set of bedding under her bed. It looked like it was prepared for me. But, could I be so obedient as to sleep on the floor?
"Hmm... uh, what a disgusting pervert. I left bedding for you downstairs, but you had to come up and disturb my sleep." Shiho said with a frown when she was woken up by me.

"It's been a long time since I fell asleep with my princess in my arms. This is a rare opportunity." I found a comfortable position and lay down. Although Shiho said she hated it, she leaned into my arms out of habit.

"Indeed, the last time was a few months ago." As she spoke, Shiho's frown relaxed a little. She closed her eyes and whispered, "It's been a long time since I smelled the scent of lavender so closely."

"Hey, as long as you like it." I reached out and gently stroked Shiho's delicate brown hair and whispered. "One day, the fragrance of lavender will forever linger between your noses."

"You're the only one who can say that." Shiho didn't open her eyes, but just raised the corners of her mouth slightly. "First, try to control your desire to take advantage of beautiful women."

"Um... Hi, what happened?" I said embarrassedly. "But this time it's really not my fault."

"Don't I know you're playful?" Shiho stretched out her hand and pinched my waist. But maybe because she was really tired, Shiho's hand didn't have much strength. She just pinched it once and then gently put it on my waist. Then she said, "Bing, winter is coming soon."

"Yeah, time flies." Seeing Shiho change the subject, I put away my playful smile.

"You said, that dream..." Shiho's tone was a little worried.

"Silly." I chuckled. "Go to sleep. That's none of your business."

"...Good night." After saying good night, Shiho's hands, which had just been tightly gripping my pajamas, gently relaxed.

"Good night." Seeing the person in my arms fall asleep, I smiled gently and closed my eyes.

"Winter...?"

　Well, I wish all my college entrance exam friends a good score, come on. Also, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, everyone, please take a break and prepare to enter the main story. Of course, my time here is still random, I will code when I have time.
