The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Chapter 309: The boy who just sat down when we met

The New Year atmosphere on New Year's Eve is really strong, and you can feel it from the traffic flow on the streets.

As dinner approaches, the lanes during peak hours become even more crowded.Sasashima Ritsu had already begun to regret why he went out to buy cakes. He might as well stay at home and wait for the Kohaku Song Concert.

After finally arriving at this popular cake shop in Yoneka-machi 3-chome, there was a long queue at the door.After some ideological struggle, Sasashima Ritsu lined up at the end of the queue and started playing with his mobile phone to pass the time, thinking that he would lose blood if he came back.

"Sir, it's your turn soon. What style of cake do you want?"

After half an hour, it was finally his turn. Sasashima Ritsu said without hesitation: "Green cream cake, the 6-inch size will be fine, thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, before the waitress could answer, the phone in her hand made a sound.He lowered his head to check and found that the call was from Yuna Hayasaka. An ominous premonition suddenly arose. You must know that Hayasaka was on duty at the Metropolitan Police Department today. Is there any case?
Sure enough, his hunch was correct.

As soon as the call was connected, Hayasaka Yuna's helpless voice came: "Onizawa, is it convenient for you to come to the Metropolitan Police Department now?"

"I'm free. Is there any case that cannot be solved that requires my presence?"

"No, there is a boy from Ibaraki Prefecture. He insists on seeing you or else he won't leave." Hayasaka Yuna looked at the boy sitting in the big office and lowered his voice and whispered: "It's too ugly to stand at the gate. , so I asked him to wait for you in the office first."

"Didn't you say anything? Okay, I'll come over now."

Ritsu Sasashima hung up the phone and met the waitress's eyes. He could only clasp his hands and apologize: "I'm sorry, I have something urgent here. I don't want the cake."

"Okay, please go slowly, sir."

I really didn't expect that my sudden impulse to buy a birthday cake would be interrupted by an unexpected incident, and something went wrong when it was my turn right away, and my good mood was instantly gone.

Sasashima Ritsu trotted to the parking lot to pick up the car and drove to the Metropolitan Police Department. He didn't know who the person who wanted to see him was, but he always felt that it was not an easy matter.

I parked my car and came to the door of the large office on the ninth floor of the Metropolitan Police Department. As soon as I opened the door, I was met with the expectant eyes of a young man. He was still wearing the black uniform of a junior high school student, and even had a handbag lying at his feet. The schoolbag on the floor still contained a nostalgic Mandarin textbook.

But in the next second, the young man rushed towards Onizawa Takashi.Even Sasashima Ritsu stepped back subconsciously, thinking that the other party wanted to cause harm to him. Unexpectedly, he directly came to a standard Doge seat.

"?"

It's not okay to receive such a big gift on your birthday.

"Officer Onizawa, please help me investigate my sister's case! Please!"

The surrounding police officers were startled by this move. After hearing what the teenager said, they realized the seriousness of the situation.What does it mean to allow a young man from Saitama Prefecture to go to Tokyo alone to seek help from the police?
This means that the police in Ibaraki Prefecture did nothing and had no intention of handling the case mentioned by the boy.

Seeing that the young man was a little excited, Sasashima Ritsu quickly stretched out his hand to help him up, frowning and said: "If you have something to say, just say it properly. There is no need to do such a thing."

The boy seemed completely unable to listen. He reached into his pocket and took out a few crumpled banknotes. His movements were so large that the coins in his pocket were pulled out and fell to the ground.

He said anxiously: "Here, this is all the money I have. Officer Onizawa, can you help me investigate the murderer of my sister? My sister is my only family member. I don't want her to die in an unknown way. And... Slandered and spread rumors by those damn guys!"

"Calm down, you are here to seek help, not to persecute me." Ritsu Sasashima gently flattened a few banknotes and handed them to the boy. He bent down to help pick up the coins and asked, "You probably haven't had dinner. Bar?"

The young man's eyes widened and he was a little confused. He didn't understand why Onizawa Takashi asked this irrelevant question.He shook his head honestly and whispered: "...Well, I haven't eaten in two days."

There are thick dark circles under the eyes and a thin figure. There are band-aids wrapped around many fingers, and even scabs can be clearly seen on two fingers.

Although the banknotes were wrinkled, they were new money, and a faint fishy smell still lingered on the school uniform.The young man in front of me should have gone to help at a fish processing place after learning the bad news about his sister and the police hastily closed the case, and saved up money to go to Beijing to seek help.

As for why he was looking for himself, I am afraid it is the credit of Nikmai TV, which made himself the "spokesperson" of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

"Hayasaka, please buy two meals nearby and deliver them to the lounge."

"Yes, the police department!"

Ritsu Sasashima turned around and walked out of the office, only to find the boy frozen on the spot. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "You want me to help with the investigation, at least let me know the specific content of the case? What are you still doing? Come here."

The young man asked in disbelief: "Are you...really willing to help me? You haven't even confiscated my money yet."

Hearing the words spoken by the young man, the police officers searching the first section and the third department all frowned.

"Of course I'm willing to help you. As for the money..." Ritsu Sasashima stepped forward and patted his head gently with his hand, smiling: "Brother, I am very rich."

Seeing Onizawa Takashi leaving with the boy, Sato Miwako said in an unhappy tone: "What are the police in Ibaraki Prefecture doing? Do they still need to collect money from the victims' families to handle the case? Isn't this smearing the image of our police?"

"Yes, but it will be troublesome to investigate this case, right?" Takagi Wataru worried: "Will the superiors allow us to go to Ibaraki Prefecture to investigate?"

Mumu Shisan coughed twice, looked at the clock and said, "It's almost time to get off work. If you have nothing to do, go back and rest. There are no cases to deal with today, let's disband."

The implication is: just pretend that you didn't hear what you just said, and let Onizawa Takashi assist in investigating the case privately.

Everyone who understood also started to pack their things. After Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako exchanged glances, they decided to go to the lounge to hear what the case was.

In the lounge at this moment, the young man finally opened his mouth to tell his story.

His name is Eita Kosaka, he is 13 years old and is in the first grade of junior high school at Ibaraki Middle School.

On October 10, her sister was stabbed to death multiple times on the street by an unidentified man on her way to her place of work. She was pronounced dead before an ambulance could wait.

However, under the handling of the Ibaraki Prefecture police, the case was closed as a case of random homicide by psychosis. The prisoner claimed to be a very famous homeless man in Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture, because the homeless man was mentally retarded, so There was no premeditation to commit the crime.

What was most unacceptable to Kosaka Eita was that because the incident occurred in the city center, many reporters went to shoot front-line footage, so the police had no choice but to hold a press conference.

During the press conference, the policeman in charge of the speech had a playful smile on his face, claiming that the victim was from a poor family but was wearing a lot of luxury goods, implying that the reporter was publicizing that the victim, whose body was still cold, was a paid-dating girl.

This is undoubtedly the greatest insult to the victim, and it also caused public opinion on the Internet to criticize the victim for asking for trouble and dying.

"Officer Onizawa, I know you are very powerful, you can definitely help me investigate the real culprit who killed my sister, right?!"

Meeting these eyes full of expectation is like seeing yourself back then.

After plucking up the courage to help save the siege, when he was brutally beaten... he looked forward to the woman he was helping.What he got was despair, and one of the hands that pushed him into the pit.

"Well, I will definitely help you find out."

Ritsu Sasashima looked at the two people eavesdropping at the door and smiled: "But before that, let's have a good meal and let the two enthusiastic citizens outside the door take us to Ibaraki Prefecture."

"Hey?"

Sato and Takagi, who were caught eavesdropping, smiled and pushed open the door. Miwako Sato, who was full of sense of justice, straightened her chest and said seriously: "Put it on me and Takagi!"

"The meals have arrived too." Hayasaka Yuna hurried to the lounge, put the meals she bought on the table, and said with a smile: "Because I don't know what you like to eat, I bought a boy's junior high school student Top three favorite dishes!”

"Where did you see it?"

"Yahoo, of course."

Sasashima Ritsu's mouth couldn't help but twitch, is it actually Yahoo?
