Chapter 331 Wrong Place

Chapter 337 Wrong Place
The next morning, my mother took Xiaolan and Conan to Ginza by train, and I left them and went to an abandoned wooden house in the suburbs alone.

Yes, just last night, I received a message from Ningxue. She found You Chengzhen downstairs in the office, and You Chengzhen deliberately avoided the police at that time. Such behavior has aroused Ningxue's high suspicion. So after sending me a text message, Ningxue followed You Chengzhen's footsteps and found You Chengzhen's whereabouts in a hotel. Finally, after a series of twists and turns, You Chengzhen was tied up by Ningxue in this wooden house in the suburbs without knowing who did it.

"Mr. Mingya." When I came outside the house, the three sisters of the Ning family greeted me.

"Well, where are the people?" I asked, nodding.

"Inside, still asleep." Ningxue signaled to me that she had used anesthetic.

"Well, splash him to wake him up and prepare the video system."

"Yes." Nodding, Ningxue took Ningyue inside, while Ningshuang stood outside the house. I went to another room and sat in front of the TV. This time, I was not allowed to show my face during the interrogation of Youchengzhen. All the hands-on projects will be completed by Ningxue.

Wow... A basin of ice water was poured on You Chengzhen's head, awakening this handsome man with short hair from his coma in an instant.

"Wow!" You Chengzhen, who was tied to the chair, was startled by the cold water, but he quickly sorted out his thoughts and realized his situation. He shouted at the closed-circuit television with only a puppet screen in front of him, "Who are you! Why are you arresting me! You are kidnapping! It's illegal!"

"Illegal? Haha, compared to what you did, it seems that what I did was relatively minor." I lowered my voice and made the sound of my previous life. "Why? Isn't it fun to kill policemen? I killed two in a row and almost killed an innocent person. Tell me, compared to you, am I already very kind?"

"You, what nonsense are you talking about!" You Chengzhen's face was full of astonishment.

"Don't admit it? It doesn't matter. I'll help you recall it." After she finished speaking, Ningxue, wearing a black veil and holding a baseball bat in her hand, slowly approached You Chengzhen, which made You Chengzhen's face change immediately.

"No, it's not me, you're wrong, it's not... woo!" Before she could finish her words, the bat in Ningxue's hand fell on You Chengzhen's face. The sudden pain made You Chengzhen's brain go blank, and he almost fainted. The left half of his face suddenly swelled up, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth due to the severe injury.

"Your father, Officer Tomonari, died of a heart attack caused by a mission. You hold a grudge against the police and threatened not to let go of your father's subordinates who were on the mission together. Then you took action a few days ago. Three of your father's subordinates were killed one after another. The murder was seen by the daughter of the famous detective Maori Kogoro, Maori Ran, so you wanted to kill her to silence her. Is that right?"

"No, it's not like that! It's not what you said!" You Chengzhen said slurred.

"You still don't admit it?" I squinted at You Chengzhen on the other side of the TV. "Three shootings, you were at the scene all three times, and yesterday, you went to the Maori Detective Agency, saw the police downstairs, and you left the scene immediately. Can you give me a reasonable explanation for all this?"

"I... I was framed!" When he found out that he was being investigated, You Chengzhen's face subconsciously twitched. "Framed?" I raised my eyebrows and said with interest, "Haha, it sounds better than singing. Okay, I'll give you a chance. Tell me how you were framed."

"I... I received a call from a man." You Chengzhen took a few deep breaths in fear. "He said he wanted to tell me the truth about my father's death. So I went to the traffic light in Beihua Town to wait for him as agreed. However, the man did not show up, and Officer Narasawa was killed nearby. When I returned home, I received another call from the man, who asked me to go to Midorita Park Building, but the man still did not show up. Soon, I found Officer Shiba who was shot dead in the parking lot there. Only then did I realize that I was framed by the murderer!"

"Your reason is really not convincing at all." On the other side of the CCTV, I slowly lost my patience. "It seems that I have to use my own method."

"It's true! Please believe me, everything I said is true!" You Chengzhen shouted anxiously, and through the TV screen, I saw every move and expression of his.

"...Did I really make a mistake?" Looking at You Chengzhen's excited expression, I really couldn't find any flaws. But if he is not the murderer? Then who could it be? Could someone really frame him? "No, I have to keep trying."

"Go on." I said coldly.

"So... I stayed in a hotel that day and didn't dare go home. The next morning, I called home to check the recorded message, and found that a woman who claimed to be Officer Sato asked me to meet her at Beika Sun Plaza in a few days, and said that if I didn't go, I would be arrested on suspicion of murder. But when I got there, it was full of police, so I left immediately. If you don't believe it, go check the surveillance there. I had already left there before Officer Sato got into trouble. What I said is true!"

"...Yue'er, inform Shuang'er to ask her to go to that hotel to check the surveillance and verify the time." In another room, I supported my chin with one hand and thought. From You Chengzhen's expression just now, I didn't see any flaws. His expression and nervous and frightened state told me very clearly that what he said was true. But if this is true... then Xiaolan may not be safe now. Thinking of this, I immediately turned off the TV and called Conan. However, the call was not picked up for a long time, which made me feel anxious. "It can't be true..." My face sank and I called my mother again.

"...Xiao, Xiaoxun?" The phone rang for more than ten seconds before my mother's voice sounded in my ears, but there seemed to be something strange in her voice.

"Mom, it's me." I answered. "What happened? I just called Conan, but he didn't answer. You should be together, right?"

"Yeah. Yes, we are.. in Yakushino Hospital now."

"What?!" My mother's words made my heart skip a beat. "What's going on?"

"Ran..." Mom said with some fear. "Ran was attacked and pushed off the track when she was with us at Beika Station today. Fortunately, Conan rushed to rescue her immediately, which saved her life. Now both of them have only suffered minor injuries, and Ran has fallen asleep in the hospital."

"How could that be...wasn't Officer Takagi following you?"

"Officer Takagi seemed distracted by something, and then..."

"This useless policeman!" Perhaps because I found the wrong person, I briefly transferred my hatred and anger to the policeman. "Are Xiaolan and Conan okay?"

"Well, Conan is fine. Xiaolan needs to rest. And Doctor Fudo said that Xiaolan's current condition might have some negative impact on her memory recovery."

"...Okay, I get it. Mom, I'm sorry to bother you for a while. Please stay by Xiaolan's side all the time. Take her home after she wakes up, and tell her not to leave the room as much as possible. Let's put aside the memory for now, and give priority to Xiaolan's safety. At the same time, let Gao Mu, that idiot, be more vigilant. I already have a clue about the criminal, and I will catch him in three days at most."

"Okay, then you be careful. Your father and I will keep a close eye on Xiaolan in the near future." There was still some fear in my mother's voice, but she felt more at ease because of my words.

"Well, I have some things to deal with here first. I will go back every night for the next two days. I will ask Shiho to ask for leave for me at school. I'm hanging up first." After saying that, I hung up the phone and my face became gloomy again. I turned the TV back on and said to You Chengzhen on the other side.

"I trust you for now, but I can't let you go right now. You can stay here now and provide everything you know. Including the details of the incident and your phone number and movements. I will find someone to deliver food to you every day and protect your safety. No one will hurt you before the matter is resolved."

"Thank you, thank you..." Perhaps because he had survived a disaster, You Chengzhen collapsed. "You, you should be a friend of the police or Mr. Maori. No matter what, I just want to prove my innocence and survive. I will fully cooperate with you. Please, please help me. I swear I will never disclose any information about your existence."

"You're a smart man." I raised the corners of my mouth slightly. "Tell me everything you know."

"Okay, okay." You Chengzhen nodded and began his narration, telling everything that happened since his father's death.

At night, I returned to the downstairs of Maori Detective Agency with Ningxue, bringing all the information. Before getting off the car, I whispered to Ningxue.

"Let Yue'er see Youyou Chengzhen and make sure nothing goes wrong. Wait for Shuang'er to come back and confirm the news, and give me feedback as soon as possible. Also, go contact the guy at the police station... What's his name? Oh, right, Liu Yuxin. Ask him to check the source based on the phone numbers provided by Youchengzhen. If there is a connection in the middle, ask Shoulang to find a hacker to take over. In short, the source of the call must be found before tomorrow night!"

"Yes." Ningxue nodded slightly in response.

"You sisters have worked hard these past few days. Once the recent issues are resolved, I'll find a chance to take you out to relax." I smiled guiltily at Ningxue. The three sisters of the Ning family have always worked diligently for me. To be honest, it seems that I have never given them any holidays or benefits. I'll give them a vacation when I have the chance.

"Yes, Mr. Mingya, take care." Ningxue smiled slightly. Although she was indeed working for the child in front of her, she knew his true identity very well. Compared with working for Shoulang before, her life as the child's bodyguard was not only much safer, but also more colorful. How could she dare to make too many demands on such a life? Everything was up to him.
