"Eh?"
"If you want a statement from me, please do so after getting an arrest warrant from the court first. I think your attempt to force a false claim for an arrest warrant would be in vain. At present, the evidence material necessary to form the judge's impression is really inadequate. However, the story will be different if the wife decides to press charges against the five of us for trespassing."
Conan looked shocked and confused.
Hikari Yuki could see that Conan was suspecting Ikenami Shizuka's identity, but everything will be clear in a while.
After that, she heard the police officers say a few words and Conan charged forward.
'Wow, that brat really couldn't see anything but cases in front of him.' Hikari Yuki looked at Conan with some interest and then retracted her gaze again.
If it was someone from the Winery, they would never fail to notice such a heated gaze from Hikari Yuki.
But Conan…
Well, Hikari Yuki could only say that Conan still needed more practice.
And his lost of composure whenever he heard some clues really needed to be fixed.
'Amuro Toru can even stay calm when the culprit tries to erase the evidence just to test Conan… well, in a way, it should be something brought by practice.'
If he was not an undercover agent, Hikari Yuki had the feeling that he would be the most righteous police officer around.
Presumably, she would want to beat him up even more.
Anyway, sleeping Kogoro Mouri had already started his performance and pointed to the real culprit, the wife, Shibata Kyouko. He explained how she faked her alibi through using her friend and the newspaper.
After she admitted it, she went back to the room and took out the katana and threatened to kill herself.
Hikari Yuki saw the woman's trembling hand and knew that it would be impossible for her to do it. Someone who had killed others could judge this much.
Shibata Kyouko was desperate.
Perhaps if she was pushed further, she could kill herself.
But no one here could possibly do that.
Tap!
Ikenami Shizuka had used the fan to stop the sword and after pushing forward, she tapped the other party's hand, forcing her to drop the sword.
In the first place, she was not a professional and her grip was not strong.
The sword fell down easily.
"What a fool! It doesn't matter if it's your life or another person's life! Life is the most precious thing that no one should take from anyone! The fool who steals it is a murderer! Even if it's their own life!"
"Keep this in mind."
Hikari Yuki listened and smiled faintly.
Indeed.
An undercover agent had long lost the right to truly feel the awe of life. Only by keeping it in mind how precious life is could they remain sane and not feel as if they had truly lost themselves.
'Coming here… is actually quite good.'
As the wife of a police officer, Hattori Shizuka is actually a righteous person.
And Conan had already confronted Hattori Shizuka about her lies. Starting from the dust allergy, the cooking one, and the fact that she was already married. Lastly, it would be the Reiko's matter.
"It wasn't reiko, but rei-ko," Hattori Heiji interrupted from the side. "She probably wanted to order iced coffee, but stopped in the middle because saying iced coffee as 'Reiko' would reveal that she came from Osaka. Right, Oba-han?"
"Hattori Kun and Kazuha Chan!"
"Hey, Oba-han, yer business has finished, right? So hurry up and return to Osaka!"
"Hrmm.. Hey you, why'd you call Shizuka san Oba-han? So rude!"
"It doesn't matter what I call her. She's my mother," Hattori Heiji said calmly, perhaps somewhat irritated.
"Ehhh?"
Everyone looked surprised, including Hikari Yuki even though it was nothing more than an act.
"But…."
Hattori Heiji listed up several reasons, convincing them that she's really his mother.
After that, Hattori Shizuka said that she could entrust Heiji to them.
"So it's real?" Conan's expression was a bit strange.
"Of course!" Hattori Heiji nodded and then looked at Hikari Yuki who had already started talking with Kazuha. "And Yuki Neechan could also come along if you want to. The more the merrier."
Hikari Yuki was stunned and was about to reply when her phone vibrated. Her expression remained the same as she said, "No, thank you. I won't be able to go on a long trip for the time being."
Even though she has a smile on her face, Hikari Yuki was actually cursing in her mind. She had the feeling that the game should have done it on purpose.
It was trying to let her stay away in the kind of story that she might end up changing something important.
Considering her own mission and task, Hikari Yuki could only follow the game arrangements.
This was actually somewhat frustrating.
"How come? I thought you didn't have any work, Yuki Neechan." Kazuha looked disappointed.
"Unfortunately, I have part time jobs." Hikari Yuki chuckled. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to live."
Kazuha nodded with some disappointment and even Mouri Ran looked down.
Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at the two of them speechlessly. They felt that women's friendship is something they couldn't understand.
Didn't Kazuha only meet Hikari Yuki once?
How come they were so close to each other?
Hikari Yuki didn't explain her part time work and only said that she might be a bit busy later.
After she left, Hattori Heiji asked, "What kind of part time job do you think she did?"
The way Hikari Yuki brushed up the topic made him a bit suspicious. Is it something that couldn't be seen in the light?
"I don't know, but it has to be a job that she didn't have to do all the time," Conan replied.
While he wanted to get to the bottom of it, this didn't seem to be something important, so Conan chose to stay silent and didn't do anything unnecessary. Besides, he still trusts Hikari Yuki as he had known her for a long time.
He will try to trail Hikari Yuki in the future if she keeps on teasing them.
But for now, the mermaid island matter is more important.
…
Kurokawa Saki sighed after separating from Conan and the others. How could she not see their curiosity?
But she wouldn't tell them her part time jobs for the time being.
Checking the content of her mail, Kurokawa Saki sighed.
A disguised job from the Interpol.
She had to catch someone and send him away. The reason why it had to be her was because it was more convenient for her to move in this area and her deceiving appearance.
Kurokawa Saki wanted to file a complaint.
Hmph!
Her appearance was not the one that should be used for missions!
But reason prevailed.
She went out and after a while, the battle ended and Kurokawa Saki sent him away. Minoru came out to take over and nodded at Kurokawa Saki as thanks.
"... how come your dark circles are worse than mine?" Kurokawa Saki muttered under her breath.
Minoru: "..." Don't you know the culprit?
