Chapter 128 - Another Movie Case (3)

The others saw that No. 1 was busy, so they stopped bothering her. Anyway, Megumi Aiko had already obtained all the necessary information that she needed. The next thing to do is to proceed with the investigation and tell the result.

Megumi Aiko raised her head and quickly said what no. 1 had told her, almost word by word.

"Megumi, tell me, how did you know so much?" Inspector Megure looked at his subordinate as if he was seeing the sun rising from the west.

"...Can't it be my own ability?" Megumi Aiko tried to struggle.

What do you think?

Everyone else looked at her quietly and even Conan was staring at Megumi Aiko with a strange look. Even though Conan himself was suspecting that this case was not a suicide and was thinking about how to prove it, he didn't expect someone would be much faster than him.

"I ask someone for help… It's my friend who's a public security officer with good reasoning ability. Don't worry, he won't take over the case," Megumi Aiko quickly added the last one because she could tell everyone's face darkened.

After all, no police officer has a good impression of a public security officer.

They were the kind of people who would do anything to achieve their goal.

But it was also true that many elites entered public security, so it was not surprising that their reasoning ability was really strong.

The problem is…

How long did it take for that person to spot the problem?

Only a few minutes and from the time Megumi Aiko took her phone to start explaining to them, the other party didn't seem to need to think to figure out that this is a murder case instead of the suicide case. 

"Megumi…"

"I'm sorry for acting without authorization, Inspector Megure, but I really want to solve this case. I'll take full responsibility for my action and the other party has promised me that he will not leak the case out. I'm simply asking for help in a private capacity," Megumi Aiko said earnestly. 

"Can you tell me who it is?"

"I'm sorry."

She couldn't tell the identity of the players to others. 

And Megumi Aiko silently apologized to no. 1. She couldn't possibly say that the other party is an Interpol, could she?

If the others found out that she asked someone from an international organization for help, it was estimated that they would question her professionality and so on…

Brr….

It's terrifying. 

Inspector Megure looked at Megumi Aiko and sighed deeply. "What else did your friend say?"

"This…" Megumi Aiko looked at no. 1's insult towards the Metropolitan Police Department and silently wonder if she should say this too. Or should she skip to the rest of the explanation and her conclusion?

Megumi Aiko was in a dilemma.

"Let me guess, he insulted the police officers, isn't he?" Officer Shiratori asked quietly when he saw Megumi Aiko's troubled look.

"Ahahaha…" Megumi Aiko scratched the back of her head. "Because he said that for such a case to be closed as suicide, the police officers must be either bribed or idiots…."

She really couldn't continue.

Because the scene was eerie silent right now. 

Internally, Megumi Aiko was cursing no. 1 for insulting the police officers and leaving her to be the one to face it.

If No. 1 was here, she would be speechless.

Even if she said it in their chat group, there was no need for Megumi Aiko to tell the police officer about this matter, right?

*sigh*

What a clueless woman.

After that, Megumi Aiko told Inspector Megure about no. 1 speculation and also the request to investigate the medical record.

As for the police officers' death…

"Uhm, he didn't say anything and I can't really contact him right now." Megumi Aiko looked at the last message that no. 1 sent and didn't have the heart to disturb the other party anymore. After all, no. 1 is a genuine undercover agent right now and if she continued to disturb the other party, what if she ended up in danger?

Megumi Aiko didn't want to cause danger for the other players.

They have struggled for a long time to survive in the Conan world and Megumi Aiko didn't want to put them in danger just because of her selfishness. 

"But when Inspector Narasawa and Inspector Shiba died, there were clues pointing to the police handbook. Therefore, we judged that the murderer was an insider in the police force, and they were conducting a secret investigation. No one else could have known except for insiders."

So how could the focus be that doctor?

Inspector Megure was skeptical whether this doctor was really the one who killed the police officers. But the chance of him being the murderer of the first case has become higher because of the suspicion that No. 1 raised. 

Megumi Aiko was silent.

Hmm…

She had no idea :)

Seeing Megumi Aiko's struggling expression, the others sighed and decided to try investigating this point too.

Anyway, they could have two points of investigation.

It would not conflict with each other either. 

Megumi Aiko sighed and then looked at the chat group, wondering what the others were talking about after this.

[Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: no. 1 is really busy… I can't imagine having to be like him. Going on missions so much. 

Corrupted FBI [8]: How does no. 1 looks like, No. 7?

High School Student [2]: Is it really difficult?

Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Tell us! I'm also curious. 

University Student [6]: + 1

Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: Huh? No. 1 actually looks pretty normal on the outside. If anything… you will never suspect him to be a perverted murderer if you see him outside?

Artist [11]: Really?

Journalist [12]: But you're so scared of him, no. 7.

Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: Haha… just imagine a young man who look like a teenager killing a lot of people in front of you. You will see the harmless appearance is nothing more than a facade.

Corrupted FBI [8]: Teenager?

High School Student [2]: Huh? Don't tell me that no. 1 is underage.

Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Is it baby face? Many of us are actually baby faced after entering Conan's world. 

Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: Probably baby face. I can't imagine him being so young, haha… But yeah, he looks like a normal teenager on the outside. 

University Student [6]: Is he handsome?

Artist [11]: … 

Journalist [12]: No. 6, you better not try to target someone from the group. No. 1 is also a ruthless killer.

University Student [6]: Tsk! If he's handsome, I want to keep his picture, alright?!

High School Student [2]: Don't you know that you can't take pictures secretly in Japan because the phone here has been modified to sound when someone takes a picture? You can only use devices produced overseas if you really want to take pictures. 

Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Then use the camera like Jodie is not impossible…

High School Student [2]: No. 3, don't teach people to do crimes!

Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: I'm sorry!

Journalist [12]: Tsk, tsk, just be careful that he might beat you up.

University Student [6]: I'm just saying! Don't take it seriously!]

Megumi Aiko: "..."

She decided to close down the chat and forget about these things. 

Rather than caring about the players, it's better for her to care about the case and started her own investigation.

Hmph!

If it was really that doctor…

Megumi Aiko gazed in the direction where the doctor was located gloomily.

No matter what, she would do her best to beat him up!
