Iguchi Maiko was taken out of the room by the police, and the crying in the corridor gradually faded away.
After Inspector Megure finished explaining the follow-up work, he turned to Kitagawa Kai and Shiina Hiyori, with a little more gratitude on their faces.
"Kitagawa brother, thank you so much for today!"
"The main reason is that you have done a good job, I am just the icing on the cake..." Kitagawa Kai said while inadvertently letting the girl next to him out.
"Yes, there are Shiina younger siblings, cough cough Shiina detective, your reasoning is so wonderful and neat!"
Inspector Megure finished boasting boldly.
Shiina Hiyori was stunned.
Shiina younger siblings?
Or Detective Shiina?
She subconsciously looked at the boy. She had been calm when facing the suspect just now, but now her cheeks were quietly turning red.
"You appreciate it, I just did something trivial."
Kitagawa Kai held the girl's hand and didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
Inspector Megure smiled heartily and quickly took out his mobile phone to exchange contact information with the two of them in order to request assistance in the future.
Well, they should be working together to handle the case.
Mouri Kogoro stood nearby, straightened his suit and tie, pretended to hold his head high and said, "Well, you guys solved the case before I even took action. What a scary future!"
"We have to thank Mr. Maori for letting us learn from him." Kitagawa Kai smiled and complimented him.
"Haha, if young people are willing to learn, of course I won't hide anything!"
Conan glanced at him silently.
Uncle, apart from introducing the basic situation when you came in today, it seems that you have not been of any use at all, right?
There were footsteps at the door. Mōri Ran and Ichinose Honami heard that the case had been solved and rushed over.
"Hiyori, thank you for your hard work."
Ichinose Honami walked up to Hiyori and asked with a smile, "I just heard from the police officer that you found the murderer. How does it feel to be a detective for the first time?"
"I'm a little nervous, but Kai-kun has been with me all the time, and it's been smoother than expected."
Mōri Ran looked at his father in surprise. "Dad, this case was solved so quickly?"
"Of course! It doesn't matter who takes action. I, Mouri Kogoro, am here to guide Kitagawa and the others. It's just a matter of time before they solve the case..."
"This time it was obviously senior sister Shiina who reasoned it out, right?" Conan suddenly stepped forward, raised his little head and struck a blow.
The smile on Mouri Kogoro's face froze, "You brat, of course I know! I was about to say something, why did you interrupt me?"
Mōri Ran glanced at his father helplessly, then turned to Hiyori and said, "Senior sister, you are so awesome. It's a pity that I didn't hear the reasoning just now."
"We can chat together if we have the opportunity in the future." Shiina Hiyori agreed with a smile.
Later, after the police finished recording the necessary confessions, Kitagawa Kai made a timely farewell. "Inspector Megure, we are leaving first."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work today, leave the rest to us."
Mōri Ran sent several people to the door and exchanged contact information with Honami.
"Senior Honami, be sure to contact me next time you come to Beika Town."
"Okay, so is Ran. Come to me anytime if you need anything."
Kitagawa Kai stood quietly aside waiting for the girls to say goodbye.
However, before leaving, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and took a special look at the little boy huddled next to Ran.
When Conan saw Kitagawa Kai suddenly turned his head to look over, he quickly squeezed out a signature smile, raised his hands high and waved. "Brother Kitagawa, goodbye!"
Kitagawa Kai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, waved at him casually, opened his thin lips slightly, and silently uttered four words.
Work, rattan, new, one.
Conan's waving arms stopped in mid-air.
The smile on his face completely froze, his pupils shrank sharply, and he stared at Kitagawa Kai's retreating back.
That lip reading just now...
You can't go wrong!
What he pronounced was his real name!
"Conan?"
Mōri Ran saw that he was not moving, so he greeted him in a low voice.
"It's okay, sister Ran."
At this moment, Conan has only one question left in his mind.
Who is this guy?
Could it be Black Organization?
I will destroy Black Organization at all costs!
On the other side, Kitagawa Kai took the two girls back to the lounge and told everyone that the case had been solved.
Hamaguchi Tetsuya and Hashimoto Masayoshi looked better than before, and the snacks on the table were finally moved.
"Kitagawa-kun, I really trouble you today." Hamaguchi Tetsuya said a little guiltily.
"I told you, you're welcome. Go back and have a good rest tonight and do some shopping tomorrow."
Hashimoto Masayoshi touched his hair and said with a wry smile, "Don't worry, I won't be brave this time."
Hirata Yosuke also came up and thanked Kitagawa Kai seriously, "Kitagawa-kun, everyone was a little worried just now. As soon as you came over, everyone felt more at ease instantly."
"With Teacher Mashima and Senior Kiriyama sitting on site, you don't have to worry at all."
Kitagawa Kai smiled and nodded to the two of them. After briefly greeting everyone, he was ready to leave.
Hirata Yosuke took several students all the way to the door.
"Kitagawa-kun, you are simply our sun!"
Someone raised their hands and waved excitedly at him. "To be honest, this is definitely the best and most exciting team building I have ever participated in!"
Hashimoto couldn't help but turn around and complain after hearing this, "Hey, hey, don't include the episode where the murder occurred, right?"
"Of course not! I mean we all hang out together these days!"
Kitagawa Kai waved back as he walked. "Go back and continue your journey. See you tomorrow."
Katsuragi Kohei stood slightly behind the crowd, silently watching Kitagawa Kai open the car door for the two girls, his eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but take a step forward.
"Kitagawa-kun."
The young man turned around. "Katsuragi, what's the matter?"
Katsuragi Kohei moved his lips, remembering that there were so many classmates around him, and finally just nodded and said, "Be careful on the road."
"Okay, so are you."
The car door closed, Katsuragi was still looking at the direction the car was driving away.
Regarding his sister, he still had something to say to Kitagawa Kai alone.
But I've tried it a few times just now, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity.
When you return to school, look for Kitagawa-kun again!
The car that picked them up was still the car arranged by Tominaga Misa, a large black sedan.
The back seat is spacious enough for three people to sit without feeling crowded.
Kitagawa Kai sat in the middle, waiting for the two girls to fasten their seat belts, and confirmed to the driver their destination back to the mall.
The car drove onto the street, and warm air was sent out from the air outlet.
Shiina Hiyori relaxed his shoulders, looked down at the bag on his lap, and after a while, took out the small book again.
"Are you still thinking about the case?" Kitagawa Kai asked softly.
"Hmm... I always feel a little weird."
Shiina Hiyori said softly, "I have read so many reasonings in books, but when I stand on the scene today, this feeling is completely different."
"Also, when I read novels, I always hope that the detective will reveal the answer quickly. But when I heard the ending today, I felt that it would be better if Miss Iguchi left that person earlier."
"In this way, all tragedies will not happen."
Kitagawa Kai sighed, "What we can do is find out what happened."
"Then...Kai-kun."
"Huh?"
"As a detective handling a case for the first time, is my performance today still acceptable?"
Kitagawa Kai smiled and hugged the girl, "Of course, it deserves a reward."
"Um, Kai-kun, I'm very curious, can you tell me the specific case?" Ichinose Honami couldn't help but ask.
"Of course!"
