Chapter 3 Chapter 3 The Suspect Is Actually Myself(1/2)

The author has something to say:/br518 Modification: The heroine’s last name was changed to Furukawa.

Highlight demining: This article is pure friendship, pure friendship, pure friendship! Not black orchid, not black orchid, not black orchid!

Furukawa Kumisa, who was running wildly on the way to work, probably never dreamed that within an hour of arriving in this world, she would fall off her horse in front of Edogawa Conan, the protagonist of this scientific world - even though she had three layers of vests, she would fall off her horse.

The first floor is not a big problem.

At this moment, Toru Amuro, who was facing the problem of Edogawa Conan, was also deep in thought. He was not thinking about how to fool Conan, but——

Toru Amuro: Sure enough, this new subordinate’s business ability is really worrying.

The little detective who didn't even meet him was able to identify his identity at a glance. As a member of the organization, his hidden ability was really stretched a bit.

He slowly looked at Conan: "Why do you ask?"

"Mr. Amuro would ask this, which means my reasoning is correct. That sister is really a member of the organization?" Conan did not answer his question directly.

Toru Amuro symbolically protected Furukawa Kumisa, "Well, I'm just curious as to why you are so suspicious."

"That lady sat in the cafe for an hour but only ordered a sandwich. She didn't take out her computer or mobile phone to work. She looked like she was waiting for someone."

Toru Amuro raised an eyebrow: "Such guests are not uncommon."

"When Mr. Amuro walked towards her with the menu, there were quite a few customers who had finished their food on the table, but you chose the seat farthest from the counter."

"I just saw that she was sitting there for a little longer."

"As a waiter and a guest, your communication time about the menu is also very strange. There will be a long gap between each sentence."

"Perhaps this guest is just thinking about what to eat."

Having said this, Toru Amuro smiled and touched Conan's head: "These are very ambiguous clues you mentioned, and they are not enough to support your inference that 'she is a member of the organization'."

Toru Amuro carefully recalled all the actions of his subordinates since they entered the store. Apart from showing obvious affection for strangers, there was really nothing wrong with her. He really couldn't think of what was the reason for Conan to find out her identity.

"And the last and most important point..." Conan's voice paused slightly, as if he was wording something, and then he slowly said, "Morse code."

Toru Amuro's eyebrows jumped. It was impossible. Furukawa Kumisa's position was in the corner of the cafe at that time. When he went to ask her, he happened to block her with his body, so the scene where the two of them communicated in Morse code on the menu was impossible.

May be seen by anyone in the store.

"Mr. Amuro communicated with her in Morse code, right?"

"I'm very curious, where did Conan-kun sit in the coffee shop so that he could see our exchange?"

"Mr. Amuro acquiesced." Conan did not answer directly.

Toru Amuro didn't answer his plan. He straightened up and continued to clear away the empty dishes on the table: "Conan-kun, today is a working day, you should go to school."

"Today is the sports meeting of Didan Elementary School."

"In this case, do you want to pack a chocolate mousse? Sweets can replenish a lot of lost energy."

"Okay, Brother Amuro makes the best desserts!"

The two parties stopped talking and stopped continuing the dialogue between the "detective" and the "organization undercover", reverting to the mode of "elementary school student" and "big brother in the coffee shop".

Toru Amuro took out the chocolate mousse from the refrigerator, carefully packaged it, and handed it to Conan: "Go, Conan-kun, remember to share it with everyone in the Young Detective Team."

"Well! Thank you, Brother Amuro!"

Watching Conan leave with the cake, Toru Amuro's eyebrows darkened slightly.

On the other side, Conan, who was walking on the way to school carrying a cake, also had his glasses white.

One thing he did not confess to Mr. Amuro was that he did not see the scene where he and the sister were playing Morse code. Just as Toru Amuro thought, he had already blocked the view of the customers in the store with his body before they started communicating.

But he saw Furukawa Kumisa's starting gesture. That gesture, as if his fingertips were flying on the keys, he had only seen on one person.

So he recognized that it was the starting gesture of Morse code. According to his observation, when Mr. Amuro contacted his fellow police officers, he always contacted them online. Even for interviews, he would not choose public places.

Then the other party can only be a member of the organization.

Conan rubbed the cake box in his hand and began to think about how to get close to Furukawa Kumisa.

Not for anything else, just for her Morse code technique...

He raised his head slightly, and there was a distant memory in his slightly squinted eyes that was completely opposite to the child's appearance.

The way she played Morse code reminded him of someone.

——That's why he rashly tested Toru Amuro when he couldn't find any evidence.

But approaching a suspected member of a black organization was too risky, so he had to plan slowly.

...Edogawa Conan also didn't expect that his "slow plan" could be realized so quickly.

As of yesterday, I had just made up my mind to get close to Furukawa Kumisa, a member of the organization, and this afternoon I saw her in a police uniform at the crime scene in Cupido Town.

"Wow, is this the legendary little detective who stayed at Mr. Mori's house? Hello, I am Furukawa Kumisa."

Her slender body is wrapped in a crisp police uniform, but there is no sense of out-of-place comedy. The heroic and solemn upper body of the police uniform adds a bit of sassiness to her seemingly quiet and weak temperament.

Seeing the other person bending down and greeting him with a smile, the genius little detective's mind suddenly went blank.

"...Hello, Officer Furukawa."

Furukawa Kumisa's face had a demure and gentle smile, and her heart was filled with the fragrance of Chinese quintessence.

She knew it! She knew it!! Ever since she discovered that the coffee shop where Bourbon worked was downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency, she had an ominous premonition, but she didn't expect it to come true in the blink of an eye.

She just came into this world and just opened the door to see the corpse on the second day - still as a suspect!!

It's a long story, so let's make it short.

The deceased was Furukawa Kumisa's boss in the 2nd Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police. The head of the 2nd Investigation Division, Police Department Yoshiko Kuji - yes, it was the "Kuji Police Department" who called yesterday morning to remind Furukawa Kumisa of his absence from work.

As a newcomer who had just been admitted to the Metropolitan Police Department and had been on the job for less than a year, and as a professional police officer, Furukawa Kumisa should not have been the target of being teased by his superiors in the office.

Yesterday, when Yoshiko Kuji walked into the cubicle to fetch water from the independent office, he happened to see Kumisa Furukawa rushing to work. Her face instantly sank: "Officer Furukawa, have you apologized to your colleagues for being late?!

"

Furukawa Kumisa shrank his head: "Not yet..."

"Say it five times!"

Furukawa Kumisa was stunned: "Not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet!"

Yoshiko Kuji:……

"Write a 5,000-word review report for me!! Put it on my office desk before tonight!!"

So, on the first day of work when he traveled to this world, Furukawa Kumisa had a minor disagreement with his immediate boss.

The good news is: this immediate boss died the next day.

The bad news: She was the suspect being questioned.

"Officer Furukawa, don't be nervous. I'm Wataru Takagi from the First Investigation Division. We're just asking for a routine question. Where were you around 20 o'clock last night?"

Officer Takagi, a good old man from the Search Section 1, walked up to her holding a notebook and started asking about the alibi.

"I'm at home."

"Can anyone prove it?"

"No, I live alone."

Takagi held the pen and scratched his head, hesitating: "Well, that means there is no alibi..."

Furukawa Kumisa glanced at the body covered with white cloth and asked directly: "The presumed death time of Kushi Police Department is eight o'clock last night?"

"Yes."

"Are there no other suspects besides me?"

"Um, yes, yes, and..." Takagi flipped through his notes subconsciously, and when he was about to tell Furukawa Kumisa the case, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice.

"Officer Takagi!" Sato Miwako grabbed Takagi's ear and intercepted her words. "Although Officer Furukawa is also from the Criminal Department, please don't reveal the case details to unrelated or even slightly suspicious people!"

"...No, Officer Sato, I'm curious, why did you infer that I am suspected?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, we have no intention of targeting Officer Furukawa. But..." Sato Miwako suddenly realized that Furukawa was standing in front of her, and smiled at Kumisa Furukawa, "The main reason is that someone testified that she saw Furukawa yesterday.

The police officer had an argument with the deceased, so we will conduct a routine inquiry."

"..." Once a quarrel occurs, it can be concluded that I want to kill someone. It is indeed the world of science.

"But it's been so long since I've been admitted to the Second Investigation Course, and I haven't had any disputes with the Kushi Police Department except yesterday's quarrel. What's more, it was indeed my fault for being late yesterday, and the review report has been submitted to the Kushi Police Department. With all due respect, Officer Sato,

You have no solid evidence for your suspicion that I am a suspect."

"Well, that's true." Sato smiled generously, "But Officer Furukawa also knows that this is the procedure for investigating suspects in the First Search Division, so please be considerate."

"We are all colleagues. Of course I understand everyone's hard work," Furukawa Kumisa smiled slightly, "Then can you ask Officer Sato to tell me who the suspects are in Officer Kushi's case?"

"No," Sato simply shook his head, "Even if you are not a suspect, we cannot reveal the details of the murder to unrelated people."

"I see."

Furukawa Kumisa nodded in a serious manner, and then pointed to Mouri Kogoro who was discussing the case with the Megure Police Department next to him: "Is this Moori detective a person related to the case?"

"... Well... he is our Metropolitan Police Department's... um, facilitator?"
To be continued...
