Conan's city hunter

Chapter 42 Event Escalation
"This is not a noisy place, I suggest you control the volume."

After a while, feeling Kengo Oto's struggle weakened, Takasugi picked up the pillow and reminded him with a smile.

"Huh...huh..."

Oto Kengo didn't have the heart to shout at this time, he only cared about breathing in the fresh air, his face was full of joy for the rest of his life.

Just now, he really felt that he was going to die.

"By the way, I have a habit, that is, I prefer the number 'nine'." At this moment, Gao Shan's voice that frightened him sounded again: "So, I have to wrong you."

After the words fell, the familiar pillow once again covered Oto Kengo's face.

After going through the loop twice again, Takasugi let go of Oto Kengo who had a bad expression on his face, and threw the pillow in his hand aside.

After leaving a meaningful smile at Kengo Oto, he got up and left the ward without saying anything.

His purpose is to break through Kengo Oto's psychological defense, but this is far from enough.

On the hospital bed, Kengo Oto watched Takasugi leave blankly. After he closed the door, he took out his mobile phone tremblingly, regardless of the tears and snot all over his face.

"Hey, Metropolitan Police Department? Someone is going to kill me!"

Takasugi, who stopped outside the door, showed a smile at the corner of his mouth after hearing the voice from the ward.

……

Ten minutes later, the ward was tightly guarded.

Takagi looked at the terrified Oto Kengo on the hospital bed, and asked, "Mr. Oto, you said that the person who beat you for no reason just came to the hospital quietly and almost killed you?"

After receiving the notification, he, who was dealing with the follow-up of the game hall incident, immediately rushed over without stopping.

"Yes... yes, he pressed the pillow on my face..." Oto Kengo looked at the pillow being fingerprinted in fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Nine times! He said he liked 'Nine' this number!"

Takagi frowned slightly when he heard the words, and looked at Miwako Sato who had been silent all the time: "Officer Sato, what do you think?"

Because Police Officer Megure is still dealing with the follow-up work of last night's incident, the two of them led the police dispatch this time.

"Just looking at this kind of behavior, the other party should have intentionally tortured him..." Speaking of this, Sato Miwako looked at Oto Kengo: "Mr. What is his reason for doing this?"

Regarding the essence of this matter, Sato Miwako is inclined to deliberately retaliate in her heart, but the hatred between the two parties should not be considered too serious.

Otherwise, according to the description of the person concerned, what they see now is a corpse.

"It's because of my girlfriend, Shimizu..."

Things have come to this point, Oto Kengo will naturally not hide it, and hastily repeated what Takasugi said just now.

After hearing his words, Takagi Tsubasa and Sato Miwako looked at each other, and they both saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

If they want to solve this matter, they need to find another key person, Zhishui Gaobao, to have a good chat.

If nothing unexpected, the person who hurt Oto Kengo was hired by Shimizu Takaho.

"Mr. Oto can rest in peace, we will arrange personnel to guard the door."

After leaving such a sentence, the two turned and left the ward.

The only job here is to collect traces, and there are professional police officers in charge. Instead of staying here, they might as well talk to Zhishui Takaho directly.

When they came to the place where Shimizu Takaho worked, Takagi Tsubasa and Sato Miwako met Shimizu Takaho without much effort.

For the arrival of these two police officers, Shimizu Takaho was not surprised at all.

"Two police officers, do you know what you can do with me?" Zhishui Gaobao asked leisurely.

"I don't know Mr. Shimizu, do you know Kengo Oto?" Takagi asked routinely.

"I know." Koho Shimizu took out the chewing gum, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly.

"Does Shimizu-san know about Kengo Oto's attack?"

"I don't know about that. Why, was that bastard beaten to death?" Shisui Takaho showed a hint of surprise, and asked gloatingly.

"That may disappoint Mr. Shimizu. Mr. Oto just suffered some skin trauma, and his life is not in danger."

"That's really a pity."

Seeing Shimizu Takaho's expression of pity that did not seem to be fake, Miwako Sato's eyes flickered.

After thinking about it, she asked directly: "It seems that Mr. Zhishui is not surprised by our arrival?"

She had already discovered this when she saw the other party, but she never found a suitable opportunity to ask.

"It's true to say that, I know you will definitely come to me." Shisui Takaho nodded.

But what he didn't say was—

In his original idea, the police should come to see him with the news of Oto Kengo's death.

There is no way, the conflict between him and Oto Kengo is not only known to everyone, but it is not a secret either.

and so--

If something really happened to the other party, then he would definitely be the number one suspect.

"By the way, if you don't mind, can you tell me what happened to that guy?"

Although he had vague guesses in his heart, Takaho Shimizu still wanted to know the details.

"Just this morning, Kengo Oto was beaten by a youth for no reason in the game hall, and not long ago, that youth went to the hospital again and tortured Kengo Oto for half an hour..."

At the end of his speech, Takagi paused for a moment before he found a slightly suitable word.

Cruel torture?

Hearing this word, Shimizu Takaho's eyes lit up.

This is really what he has always wanted to do but couldn't do.

"So you came to me for this matter?" Shimizu Takaho asked with a smile on his face.

"That's right, according to Oto Kengo, during the process of torturing him, that strange young man once revealed that he did this to him because of your sister."

"But what does this have to do with me?" Zhishui Gaobao said indifferently: "I think with that guy's personality, there should be many people who are unhappy with him, and my sister is so cute, some admirers can't understand her. The bad behavior of the guy is also normal."

Although he was suspicious, he just refused to admit it. Anyway, as long as there is no clear evidence, no one can do anything to him.

Takagi Shibu: "..."

Miwako Sato: "..."

The two are in charge of criminal affairs, so it is not clear what the subtext in Shishui Takaho's words is.

But they have to admit that while it's annoying, that's the way it is.

Moreover, they knew the current situation more or less well. In this case, Zhishui Gaobao should only be the hirer, and the real perpetrator was always the strange young man.

If the young man had not been caught, it would probably be difficult to find evidence about Takaho Shimizu.
