Chapter 74(1/2)
Furukawa Kumisa was getting ready to go to bed when he received a call from the Sapporo police.
"Hello, is this Officer Furukawa?"
Furukawa Kumisa picked up the phone and glanced at the fast-moving night outside the window, thinking about the reason why the Hokkaido police called him at this time.
"Yes, I am Furukawa Kumisa."
The male voice opposite paused for a moment, "I am Akita, the inspection chief of the Investigation Section 1 of the Sapporo Metropolitan Police Department..."
Furukawa Kumisa was thinking about something, and directly said: "I know, I know your number. What happened?"
She recalled the two cases she encountered in Hokkaido, her heart sank, and she already had a premonition: "Is it Amakusa Shoyasu?"
The other party was probably surprised by her keenness, and he paused for a while before speaking: "Yes, we called to inform Officer Furukawa that Amakusa Shotai just absconded from the police station tonight, and we are currently working hard to arrest him.
"After all, he was sent in by Officer Furukawa. We suspect that he will retaliate in the future, so we came to remind Officer Furukawa."
Furukawa Kumisa thought about the last time Amakusa Shotai looked at him before leaving the winery that day.
——"See you next time, Furukawa Kumisa."
The thin and calm young man smiled gracefully at her, and it seemed that some kind of bright light could be seen in his eyes.
Only now did she realize that that was not his yearning for his future life in prison—it was that he had already made plans and was looking forward to seeing her again in the future.
Furukawa Kumisa already had psychological expectations. After hearing the news, he was not too surprised. He just said calmly: "I understand, thank you for informing me. You don't have to worry, I'm on my way back to Tokyo now."
The person on the other side probably breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Furukawa Kumisa thought for a while, "In fact, returning to Tokyo does not mean that she is completely safe. After all, when the first murder case occurred in the manor, she had already revealed her identity to them - a vacationer.
Tokyo Detective.
Although the specific department position was not detailed, with her real name and the two keywords "Tokyo", it is not difficult to locate her.
"Thank you very much, Officer Mingtian, for informing me, and I wish you a smooth arrest."
The other party promised to inform her if there was any progress and repeatedly reminded her to pay attention to her safety. She hung up the phone after thanking her.
Furukawa Kumisa began to think about what this news meant.
She herself would definitely not be afraid of a passerby NPC in the Kexue world. Amakusa Shōtai was at best like a level boss. Even if he wanted to seek revenge from her, he would have to weigh his own worth first.
And other participants in the case...
Tohru Amuro definitely doesn't need her to worry about. If Amakusa Shoutai really finds him, whether she can escape from him alive is another question.
Edogawa Conan...
Theoretically speaking, he has been engaged in detective work for so many years and has encountered anywhere from a thousand to eight hundred criminals who hold a grudge against him, so he probably doesn't need to worry about it.
——But the premise is that he must know that Amakusa Shotai has escaped from prison, so that he will not be caught off guard by him later.
Thinking of this, she put on her coat, left her car, and walked to another car at the end of the corridor.
They originally wanted to book the sleeper carriages in joint-numbered carriages, but most of the carriages were fully booked, so they had no choice but to stay in separate carriages separated by several carriages.
Furukawa Kumisa herself chose a place far away from other people's rooms - she superstitiously believed that this way she could stay away from the God of Death and reduce the chance of triggering the debuff.
She walked to Edogawa Conan and Amuro Toru's door and knocked on the door.
Since there were two underage children in their team and they couldn't live in a separate room by themselves, the doctor and Toru Amuro lived in a room with two "elementary school students".
But now, there is no echo in the rooms of Amuro Toru and Edogawa Conan.
Furukawa Kumisa knocked twice more, but there was still no response.
——No way, her bad premonition came true so quickly?
She knocked twice more hard and shouted twice: "Conan-kun? Amuro-kun? Are you asleep?"
There was still no reply from the door.
Furukawa Kumisa took out his mobile phone and was about to call the two of them when the compartment door next to him opened with a bang, and Haibara Ai walked out in pajamas.
"They left the room and went out two and a half hours ago."
The two boys' rooms were connected to Dr. Haihara Ai's room. The sound insulation of the carriage door panel was weak, so Haihara Ai could clearly hear their conversation in the corridor when they left the room.
Furukawa Kumisa raised his eyebrows: "Go out? Where are they going at night?"
And what else needs to be done now? What can they do now that they are staying on a cramped train?
Haibara Ai yawned and repeated what she heard: "Edogawa-kun is hungry and wants to go to the dining car to eat, but during non-meal hours, you need to show the ID of the ticket purchaser to purchase."
Furukawa Kumisa:……
No, in her impression, Kudo Shinichi is not a foodie either?
"If you want to find them, you should be able to find them in the dining car now." Haihara Ai reminded her.
Furukawa Kumisa thought for a moment and was not in a hurry at this moment. It would be the same if he slept all night and told them tomorrow about Amakusa Shoyasu's message.
Anyway, they are all on the same train, so they will not encounter any danger.
So she also yawned and waved her hands: "It's not a big deal. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
Seeing Haibara Ai, she remembered something - they went on the winery trip in the name of Dr. Agasa. If Amakusa Shoyasu followed the lead, the doctor might also be implicated.
Thinking of this, she paused, told Haiyuan Ai the cause and effect, and finally said: "If there is any suspicious person around the doctor, a handsome, bookish young man, please remember to pay attention."
Hui Yuan Ai listened carefully and nodded.
Furukawa Kumisa noticed that Haibara Ai had a band-aid on the palm of his right hand, and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Hui Yuan Ai's eyes paused slightly: "It's nothing."
——I almost got into a fight with your ex-boyfriend and cut my hand when I broke the cup.
She shook her head and repeated: "It's nothing, I accidentally scratched it when I opened the can."
Although Haibara Ai intuitively wasn't such a reckless person, she said so, and Furukawa Kumisa couldn't say anything.
Seeing that the doctor was not in their room, she asked casually: "Where is the doctor? Isn't he here too?"
"Went to the dining car with them."
Furukawa Kumisa was shocked: "...Aren't you going to follow? Aren't you afraid that the doctor will secretly eat some high-calorie food?"
"Mr. Amuro will keep an eye on him for me."
...appears! Bourbon’s male mother attributes!
What needs to be explained has been explained, and Furukawa Kumisa feels that Haibara Ai is more alert than him in a sense and is good at predicting danger.
She had nothing to worry about, so she said goodbye and went back to her room to sleep.
Hui Yuan Ai stared at her leaving back for a while, sighed lightly, and closed the door.
After confirming that Furukawa Kumisa was gone, she took out her mobile phone and dialed the number.
"Hey, Kudo-kun? Yes, Officer Furukawa just came to your room... I don't know, but it may be related to the criminal in the case you met at the winery. She said there is no rush and she will talk to you tomorrow...
Yes, I said you and the doctor went to the dining car together, but she didn’t suspect anything, and she didn’t want to follow you, she just went back to her room... Yes, I watched her go back... That’s it.”
Edogawa Conan hung up the phone and conveyed the contents of Haibara Ai's phone call to the two people next to him.
"Haihara said Sister Furukawa came to see us, but it shouldn't be a big deal. She didn't become suspicious, so it's fine."
Fortunately, before they left the room, they told Haihara Ai to pay attention to the movements in their room.
In fact, the only person they have to guard against in this car now is Furukawa Kumisa. Although she is not the kind of character who would get up in the middle of the night to chat with someone, there is no guarantee that she will not go to the room to look for them on a whim, and leave them before they leave.
I had it first hand, but I didn’t expect it to actually be used.
Toru Amuro nodded and said nothing.
On the other hand, Okiya Subaru, who was sitting next to him, was slightly startled when he heard Furukawa Kumisa's name.
Edogawa Conan noticed his abnormality: "Mr. Subaru?...Mr. Subaru?"
Okiya Subaru came back to his senses and smiled at them: "It's okay."
Edogawa Conan actually discovered from the moment he walked in that tonight's Subaru Okiya - or Shuichi Akai, was unusual.
Compared to when they met at dinner, he seemed much more haggard, and there were a few more band-aids on his palms, which were not there before at dinner.
But Akai Shuichi obviously didn't want to discuss the matter in depth, so Edogawa Conan politely didn't ask further questions.
Shuichi Akai rubbed his forehead and got to the point.
"Satoru Hiranuma was put on a flight to Los Angeles on the night you left the winery two days ago. He landed yesterday and spent a whole day re-acquiring identity documents and accommodation. He has just settled in."
As he said that, he took out his mobile phone, pulled up a piece of information and put it in front of the two of them: "This is his new identity and an absolutely innocent resume."
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Toru Amuro, "As for the new identity, our FBI can guarantee that there will be no mistakes."
The implication is that it depends on the public security authorities to finalize his old identity in Japan.
Tohru Amuro curled her lips and accepted Shuichi Akai's silent question: "Satoru Hiranuma is the only one of the winery victims whose real murderer is unknown. The Hokkaido police have entrusted the Medical University Autopsy Institute to conduct an autopsy, and then the family members
He was directly cremated with his consent and the ashes were returned to his family."
At this point, the identity of "Satoru Hiranuma" has completely disappeared from this world.
