The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Chapter 492 Thank you for not letting me make the same mistake again and again

"Is Ms. Sugar Ya here? There is a cake she ordered. Could you please sign for it?"

Hearing the delivery staff's words, Sato Yui couldn't help shaking. She looked at the familiar outer packaging of the cake, which was her favorite chocolate mille-feuille cake.

The delivery man looked at the people in the room, and recalled the police officer who blocked him at the door. His expression changed, and he asked in a low voice, "May I ask if something happened? Could my consignee...?"

Seeing that there was no response from Sato Yui, Ritsu Sasashima walked forward, took the cake with a smile and said, "Just give me the cake. I'm the policeman in charge of this case."

"Ah, okay, then I won't disturb you in handling the case." The delivery staff bowed and left the room. As they were about to go out, they whispered: "It would be too pitiful to be killed on your birthday."

This sentence was clearly conveyed to Satou Yui's ears. She lowered her head again and looked at the slippers on her feet. There was also a naive orange cat printed on it, which was painted by her sister herself.

At that time, I seemed to have complained that my sister's paintings were a bit abstract, and I almost couldn't tell whether they were dogs or cats.

Ritsu Sasashima realized that the other party's emotions were approaching the breaking point. He did not give up the opportunity and said bluntly: "Miss Satou, it can be seen from your sister's body that the way she struggled before she died was not to seek help but to hide it. , just like a case I investigated previously, the victim also tried hard to create an alibi for the murderer, but in the end I found the key evidence."

"Then can I ask you something?" Ritsu Sasashima paused, narrowed his eyes and said, "Does your sister have anyone particularly close to her? Someone she would be willing to protect with her life."

"...I don't know." Yui Satou bit her lower lip for a long time before spitting out these four words.

She knew it, but she was no longer willing to admit it.If he admitted it, he would be so terrible for killing his sister, and he would become the type of person he can't accept the most.

"You really don't know?"

"I do not know."

Hayasaka Yuna sighed, she picked up the pen that fell next to Suzuya, raised it and said, "I think this pen is one of the birthday gifts your sister gave you, in the hope that you will still love writing and never give up. "

"Then can you give it to me?" Sutang Yui asked expectantly.

"No."

Sasashima Ritsu's indifferent gaze fell on her, without any human touch: "This pen is no longer your birthday gift after the death of Satou Mei, but is instead a physical evidence of this case."

After hearing these words, Satou Yui clenched her fists but could not reply, because she knew very well that the person who pushed this gift away was herself.

Expressions can convey a lot of information. For example, Ritsu Sasashima, who has been observing Yui Satou's reaction, has now successfully captured the guilt hidden deep in his eyes. The final breakthrough has been opened. Next, it is time to use the last piece of family affection. The trump card.

Ritsu Sasashima picked up the gift box that had been placed in the drawer of the bedroom. He handed it forward and said with a smile: "Ms. Sugar, in fact, there is another birthday gift given to you by your sister. This one will not be used as physical evidence. , because it was originally locked in the bedroom drawer."

"However, it is no longer called a birthday present, it should be called a relic given to you by your sister."

The birthday gift became physical evidence, and now this one has become a relic.

Granose Yui stretched out her trembling hands to accept the heavy gift, and she took a deep breath before she had the courage to open it.Seeing the familiar handwriting inside, tears kept rolling in her eyes...it was my sister's handwriting.

Hayasaka Yuna was about to speak out, but found that Onizawa Takashi shook his head towards her. Looking at Satou Yui, whose face was full of grief and no longer performing, she felt a trace of resentment in her heart.

This fool can become emotionally intelligent when he meets outsiders. Why does he habitually shut his emotional intelligence out when he meets people he is close to and forcefully run away from home?
Yui Satou flipped through the various writing techniques her sister had left for her, until she finally turned to the greeting card and saw the line written at the bottom. She finally couldn't help but kneel down and cry bitterly.

[I will always be your reader, so write boldly, I will support you behind you! 】

Ritsu Sasashima knelt down and looked at Yui Satou, whose eye makeup was stained with tears, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I think Kusanagi treats you like that for a reason. Her way may be wrong, but it doesn't mean she hasn't given up on you. I hope you can continue writing until you write works that satisfy yourself and others.”

He remembered the level-breaking games he played with Morofuku Jingguang and Fangtani Rei in high school, and couldn't help but continue: "Life is actually just like a level-breaking game. You can't reach the final level in one go and defeat the BOSS, so I hope you can Face your mistakes and turn yourself in."

Will you voluntarily surrender?
Satou Yui raised her hands to wipe away her tears. She stretched out her hands and smiled: "I have done something irreversible, but I am very grateful to you, Mr. Officer, for not letting me make the same mistake again and again."

"What? Did you originally plan to take your sister's inheritance and fly away?" Ritsu Sasashima asked with a raised eyebrow.

Satou Yui blinked her eyes twice, but she didn't expect that her little thoughts were completely seen through. She smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Police Officer, you are quite scary sometimes. You were able to trace me with just those things. Aren't you very early?" Are you targeting me?"

Ritsu Sasashima didn't mind if the other party "admired" him more. He said in a brisk tone: "Yes, I am good at observing micro-expressions and noticed that your sadness was fake at the beginning. Then I asked about the time when you ran away from home. It feels weird."

"Because I ran away from home when I was a child, I know that people who run away from home are unlikely to come back at such a time in the early morning. There are only three possibilities, either go home early, or sleep outside for a day and get comfortable before returning. Home, the last option is not to go home."

Satou Yui suddenly realized that she originally just wanted the police to discover the body quickly, but she didn't expect that her anxiety would reveal her flaws.But looking back now, I probably didn't want my sister to lie on the cold ground for so long.

"Thank you, Officer Onizawa. I will continue to write books in prison and will not give up on my dream."

"Before writing a book, you'd better repent. It costs two lives."

"I understand."

Watching the police car take Yui Satou away, the case was considered over.

Ritsu Sasashima yawned and returned to his lazy state again, but he didn't expect that halfway through the yawn, he felt something cold touch his cheek.

When I looked closely, I saw it was canned Calpis.

"Here, let me share a can with you."

Hayasaka Yuna opened her own can and took a big sip before saying, "Did you know? This is Sasashima-senpai's favorite drink, the one I mentioned to you."

"That's it, so you like it too?"

"I don't like it, but when I miss him I will take a few sips."

Ritsu Sasashima pursed his lips. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that Hayasaka was a little weird recently.

He skillfully pulled the tab, couldn't wait to take two big sips, and then said in a decent manner: "Hmm...it tastes just average. I didn't expect your Sasashima-senpai to like drinking this stuff."

"Yeah, I didn't expect him to like drinking this."

Hayasaka Yuna sighed, and after putting her own can into Onisawa Takashi's hand, she waved her hand and said, "Please throw it away for me. I'll go back and report first."

"Oh well."

After watching Hayasaka Yuna's car drive away, Sasashima Ritsu drank all of his own can. At the same time, he looked at the other can that still had more than half of it, and sighed helplessly.

"...What a waste. It tastes so good."
