Conan: I am definitely not a kid

Chapter 23 Yuro Mori who earns pity
  "She is the person who followed you four years ago?" Matsuda Jinpei was shocked.

Hagihara Ken put his hands together and begged for mercy.

Matsuda Jinpei looked at Hagiwara Kenji with complicated eyes. Although he believed in Hagiwara Kenji's judgment and didn't think he was a weak person who needed protection, he still didn't quite understand his own approach to taming Rye.

Under the premise that Mori Yura followed Hagihara Kenji and confessed his love to him four years ago, the police and the reporter, a man and a woman who were single, met privately during off-duty hours without going through the search and reporting process...

Although Hagiwara Kenji, as a friend of women, is more willing to consider women in many cases and understand the other party's difficulties, Matsuda Jinpei still believes that this kind of move is risky.

He made a quick decision and canceled his original plan to play video games in the evening: "I'll go with you."

"Eh?"

"What's wrong? Didn't you say that the other party is in trouble? Get in the car quickly."

Matsuda Jinpei looked impatient and walked towards Hagiwara Kenji's car with his hands in his pockets.

"Well...it would be nice to have one more person, thank you so much, Jinpei-chan." Hagihara Kenji knew to some extent Matsuda Jinpei's concerns. Although he was subjectively more inclined to be considerate of Mori Yuro, Matsuda Jinpei's behavior also made him less A lot of risks.

Hagiwara Kenji took two quick steps from behind to catch up with Matsuda Jinpei and put his arm on his shoulders: "I'm very touched. Otherwise, find a place to have a drink before coming back..."

Matsuda Jinpei said with a stinking face: "Does this count as working overtime for the first search class? You can pay for this meal."

"Eh? Okay, okay..."
-
  and so……

"Why am I the only one working overtime?" Matsuda Jinpei sighed.

Not long ago, the two met Mori Yura who called Hagiwara Kenji. According to her, she suspected that her newly rented apartment had been sneaked into by a stalker again.

Just doubting... Matsuda asked: "Did the other party leave no traces?"

Mori Yura lowered his head: "Actually, I just saw downstairs that the clothes I had dried on the balcony were missing... I didn't dare to go up and take a look, I'm sorry."

"Well, there is no need to apologize Mori-chan. This is the right thing to do. It would be terrible if the other party is still in the room and has not left. Leave this matter to us." Hagiwara Kenji comforted Mori Yura while giving his baby Tamedye winks.

Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

So in the end, Hagiwara Kenji went to the cafe downstairs to appease Mori Yuro's mood. Matsuda Jinpei, who couldn't speak, worked hard and went upstairs with the key to inspect the scene.

... He is really lucky to have such a resentful little boy.

Matsuda Jinpei opened the door and concluded at a glance that there were indeed signs of invasion at Moriyura's house.

After a hasty inspection of the whole house to make sure that the other party was not staying in the apartment, Matsuda Jinpei called the Trace Inspection Department and asked professionals to take over the problem of collecting clues.

He stood in the middle of the messed up house and frowned slowly.

...This room gave him a very inconsistent feeling.

Matsuda Jinpei's intuition faintly alarmed him. Thinking of some possibility, he quickly turned around and went downstairs, leaving the key to the administrator on the first floor of the apartment, and walked quickly towards the cafe where Hagiwara Kenji was.

"Jinpei-chan?" Hagiwara Kenji noticed his arrival and saw something from the expression on his face. He changed his tone from softly coaxing Mori Yuro to be happy and asked directly: "Where is the apartment? ” ˆ ˆ “Someone did go in.”

Matsuda Jinpei sat next to Hagiwara Kenji, diagonally across from Moriyuro. When he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Moriyuro's expression: "The other party touched a lot of things, and his clothes were turned out and thrown outside. I have already called him. Trace Inspection Department, after they finish the inspection, you can check what is missing."

"Ah..." Although he vaguely guessed from Matsuda Jinpei's attitude that there might be something wrong with Mori Yura, Hagiwara Kenji still felt that it was not appropriate to speak directly to the woman who had been broken into his residence, so he subconsciously intercepted Matsuda Jinpei's words. Head: "Sorry, Xiao Zhenping speaks more straightforwardly."

"...It doesn't matter." Yuro Mori has been keeping his head down since Matsuda Jinpei arrived. At this time, he almost buried his head under the table. "Actually, I was worried that the things in the house had been touched by the stalker. Now The items are all newly purchased... It doesn’t matter if they are touched, Officer Hagiwara doesn’t need to be so careful.”

This time Hagiwara Kenji also noticed something was wrong. Mori Yura had clearly said before that she was too panicked to go upstairs, and it was inconvenient to call the police on the First Investigation Section when she was not sure of the situation, so she called him.

But Mori Yura reacted a little too calmly when faced with the news that a stalker had indeed sneaked into the room and touched personal belongings.

The attitude shown by Mori Yura in his speech is not consistent with the current situation.

Hagiwara Kenji pulled Matsuda Jinpei's arm and did not let him speak directly. Instead, he said to Mori Yura soothingly: "But since we are sure that the other party has sneaked into the apartment, we still need to trouble Mori-chan to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to make a record. , it just so happens that the Trace Inspection Department is collecting evidence above, and we can’t go back to the apartment for the time being, otherwise, why don’t we send you there now?”

Mori Yura naturally agreed.

Unlike last time when they just waited outside for Mori Yuro to finish writing the transcript, this time, Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei watched the entire process from behind a one-way mirror.

Hagiwara Kenji asked: "Did Jinpei-chan find anything wrong in the apartment?"

Matsuda Jinpei lit a cigarette and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked: "What do you think is the possibility of her directing and acting?"

Hagiwara Kenji thought for a while: "Just from the perspective of motivation, I don't think she likes me as much as she said..."

Matsuda Jinpei frowned: "I didn't find any conclusive evidence, but the feeling of the scene in the apartment... was too clean."

Hagiwara Kenji knew that his little tame was a very intuitive person, so he did not dismiss this "feeling" statement, but listened seriously.

"The door lock showed signs of being pried, there were men's shoe prints at the scene, some private items were dug out, underwear was thrown on the bed, and the sheets were wrinkled. It seemed that all the clues pointed to a pervert who committed the crime."

Matsuda Jinpei carefully described his feelings: "But the feeling of the scene... is not dirty enough."

Matsuda Jinpei summed it up: "It doesn't look like a scene made by a man with that kind of desire."

Hagihara Kenji was thoughtful.

Although Matsuda Jinpei is not an experienced professional like those in the search section, his keen insight has always convinced Hagiwara Kenji.

"After the etiological examination and evidence collection, the squad leader and I will take a look at the photos of the scene." Hagiwara Kenji pinched his chin, "Although her move towards me was indeed a bit deliberate, I really don't think she is obsessed with me or anything. Too much favor..."

"In this regard, your feeling is more accurate than mine." Matsuda Jinpei admitted.

"But if this is not a scene she directed and acted in order to get close to you." Matsuda Jinpei said, "then there is another possibility. The other party is not targeting her because of such obscene motives as lust. , but has another purpose.”

Matsuda Jinpei raised his head and looked into Hagiwara Kenji's eyes: "And she chose to get close to you, who is easy to be soft-hearted towards women, instead of the official squad leader. It was probably because she was being followed that she couldn't tell the police frankly, so she tried to pass To gain your pity and avoid investigation.”
