"I can hear that Mr. Mori is indeed very energetic."
As soon as Kitagawa Kai finished speaking, Ran took a step forward and gently opened the wooden door of the room. "Dad, Teacher Mashima and the others are here."
Several people in the room turned their heads and looked at the door when they heard the sound.
Inspector Megure, who was wearing the iconic yellow top hat, closed the record book in his hand and took the initiative to take two steps forward. "Teacher Mashima, please come over again. We still need to verify with you the details of the students' entry and exit times today."
"No problem, I've sorted it out."
Mashima Tomoya took out Terminal, retrieved the saved information and presented it to the police. He then introduced the three people behind him to Inspector Megure: "These are our Advanced Nurturing University students. I heard that my classmates from the same school accidentally encountered this kind of thing, so I came here specially to visit and help."
Kitagawa Kai politely handed over his student ID card. "Hello, police officer, I am Kitagawa Kai from Advanced Nurturing University."
Inspector Megure took the certificate, glanced at it twice, and nodded. "With Teacher Mashima here, there are no major problems with the students for the time being. As for the specific case investigation, please wait outside with peace of mind."
It has to be said that when dealing with ordinary people, Inspector Megure is quite strict and abiding by the rules and order of police handling cases.
Shiina Hiyori Hearing this, a look of disappointment unconsciously flashed across his face.
Still not working?
Doesn't the scene in the novel where detectives and police cooperate in handling cases not exist in reality?
Kitagawa Kai smiled slightly and spoke loudly, "Inspector Megure, actually my lover Shiina Hiyori is a very good college student detective."
"And I am also very interested in this case. I am Hiyori's assistant. I hope to stay and assist in the investigation."
Although it is possible to reveal the privileged identity of Suzuki Conglomerate and force him to stay at the scene, that would be somewhat self-defeating.
Come out and hang out, your identity will be given by yourself!
He knows very well that Inspector Megure has always been the most tolerant and friendly to the special group of "detectives" in the whole Japan.
After all, "detectives" are mostly arrogant creatures, and what they enjoy in solving crimes is nothing more than the intellectual pleasure of defeating the enemy.
They just didn't like it and went to the police station to take notes. The reasoning was successful. Most of the detectives were invisible and gave all the credit for catching the murderer to the police.
If the reasoning fails, the police can justifiably pass the responsibility to the detective who solved the case.
In short, no matter what, apart from leaving a reputation of incompetence, the police have simply failed in other aspects.
As soon as these words came out, several people in the room had different reactions.
Inspector Megure's eyes suddenly lit up.
Well done detective!
A college detective would be even better!
Although I have never heard the name of Detective Shiina Hiyori before, since Kitagawa Kai dares to introduce it in front of the teacher, he must be somewhat capable.
No matter what, he's not any less reliable than the sober Maori brother, right?
Thinking of this, Inspector Megure couldn't help but glance at Mouri Kogoro from the corner of his eye.
The Maori brother did solve strange cases repeatedly when he was sleeping, which is admirable.
But his performance when he was awake was really unflattering. Sometimes he even wondered if there was someone secretly solving the case, and then passing the credit on to Brother Maori.
It's always a good thing to have an extra detective to help.
The seriousness on Inspector Megure's face faded, and a kind smile appeared, "I see, then I'll trouble Detective Shiina. If you find anything, you can tell us at any time."
Shiina Hiyori was stunned.
It turns out it was the wrong way to open it just now, right?
But it seems that I haven't solved the case yet, right?
However, the title Shiina Detective sounds really nice.
There was some seriousness on her little face. "Thank you, Inspector Memaku, I will reason carefully."
Mouri Kogoro on the other side frowned in dissatisfaction.
Traveling with you?
And he's also a college student detective?
This title reminded him of a certain high school brat who always wanted to steal the limelight.
Why do students nowadays like to come and solve crimes?
Has there been so little homework in school?
He crossed his arms, looked at Hiyori for a few times, and hummed in a senior manner. "Detective Shiina, let's talk first, the real case is not that simple, and you can't just jump to conclusions based on a few guesses."
Inspector Megure looked at him awkwardly, but still didn't answer the question.
You yourself are not much better, are you?
Mōri Ran is a bit of a surprise.
It turns out that senior Shiina, who seems quiet and weak, is also a detective!
Along the way just now, she had been quietly following senior Kitagawa, and she spoke in a soft voice. It was really difficult for people to connect her with the detective.
I wonder if seniors, like Shinichi, are so focused that they don't care about the people around them when reasoning?
So awesome...
She was about to ask for advice, but suddenly she remembered Kitagawa Kai's introduction just now.
"My lover, Shiina Hiyori."
Lover...?
Mōri Ran's figure froze, and he subconsciously looked at the bright and charming Ichinose Honami beside him, and then at Shiina Hiyori standing on the other side of the young man.
Wait!
But Senior Honami was in the corridor just now, and she clearly said that she was Senior Kitagawa's boyfriend!
Did you hear it wrong?
"Wait, wait a minute... Senior Kitagawa." Mōri Ran couldn't help but speak.
Kitagawa Kai looked gentle. "What's wrong, Maori school girl?"
"You... you just said that senior Shiina is your lover?"
"Yeah."
"But...Honami, didn't Senior Sister just say that she was dating you?"
"Well, Honami is also my lover."
Mouri Kogoro was originally thinking about who the murderer was, but when he heard these words, his face was full of disbelief.
Also?
Does this kid know what he's talking about?
Mouri Kogoro looked at Ichinose Honami with wide eyes, waiting for her to ask. Unexpectedly, the pink-haired girl in front of him just smiled and nodded, "That's right, Ran, we all know it."
Mōri Ran Everyone was stunned.
Can things like love still be like this?
Isn't this right?
Mouri Kogoro opened his mouth.
He thought that the boy had let the news slip and would be exposed by the two girls on the spot.
It turned out that they had already discussed it?
Is today's university life... already so advanced?
He turned his head with some suspicion and looked at the stern leading teacher Mashima Tomoya: "I said... Teacher Mashima, are all the students in your school such a temperament?"
Mashima Tomoya tried his best to suppress his expression of wanting to laugh, and said very professionally, "This is a student's private relationship, and we are not in a position to interfere. Officer, what time did you want to verify just now?"
Obviously, he does not intend to explain Kitagawa Kai's love life here.
Just two of them, they were already so surprised.
If we really want them to know the specific situation, can we still investigate this case?
