Chapter 41 Dongye: I Really Want to Improve
At the end of the meeting, Mumu Shisan did not arrange a clear task for Higashino Ning. To put it bluntly, he was allowed to be a free man and take over wherever needed.
Before time travel, Higashi Yening could only be called a spare tire. He was the brick used to tear down the east wall and mend the west wall.
But now, you have to call yourself the distinguished free man Higashino Ning.
The former has little value, while the latter has too much value.
But after all, if there is nothing to do now, there is nothing to do.
Higashino Ning himself doesn't want to be idle. If he catches the criminal earlier, he can reap the rewards earlier.
Adoption cards and hidden skills are all good things, and he is looking forward to the random rewards this time.
After thinking about it, Dongye Ning chose to visit his sister-in-law and learn about the actual situation at that time from the hostages.
When Higashino Ning arrived, Memu Lu's notes had just been completed.
Time only brought her maturity and did not take away anything except her youthfulness.
As the saying goes: Madam, your charm is still there.
Megure Midori was not very familiar with Higashino Ning before, but only had some impressions.
But since Mengmu Shisan has been talking about it all the time recently, she also started to pay attention to this "rising star" who had only started to show his prominence after three years of work.
After a brief greeting, Higashino took the transcript he had just prepared from his colleague, and led Memu Midori to the corridor to sit down and chat.
Memu Midori was not the first hostage, she later took the initiative to be a hostage.
According to her, the other robber did not show up much, and she never really saw him from the beginning to the end.
By the way, the robbers did not take any hostages with them when they ran away. It can be seen that they were quite confident in their escape.
After reading the transcript, Higashino Ning didn't find anything suspicious that deserved attention. After all, the story from Memu Midori's perspective was just asking for a hostage change and then being held hostage until the end.
"Officer Higashino is really different now than before."
After talking about the business, Memu Lu couldn't help but smile and sigh, "Now he has the temperament of a mature police officer."
Faced with such compliments, Higashino naturally responded with a friendly smile. He reorganized the notes and said, "Sooner or later, you will be transformed into a mature adult if you stay in a place like this."
"The wasted time in the past was a bit confusing, and it also made me unable to find the true meaning and responsibility of this profession. Fortunately, it is not too late to wake up now."
The above words are pure nonsense, only 20% of them are insights, and the other 80% are all "pillow style" reserves.
In general, it is much easier to deal with the boss's wife than the boss.
Higashino wants to make progress too much.
Maybe it was because he didn't have a clear purpose, or maybe it was because the tone of his words was full of youthful melancholy.
Memu Midori looked at Higashino Ning with eyes filled with admiration.
There is actually another hidden reason for this: Memu Lu has no children.
She fell in love with Megure Thirteen because of an incident when she was in high school. She got married earlier and if she had children, she would be around seventeen or eighteen now, not much different from Higashino Ning.
When you meet an outstanding young man who suits your taste, it is normal to be unable to help but pour some maternal love into him.
After expressing his wish to "keep working hard, you will definitely be successful in the future, I am optimistic about you", Mumu Lu said goodbye.
Higashino Ning first sent her out of the Metropolitan Police Department, and then returned again to continue listening to the transcript.
After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Hasn't the first hostage come to take notes yet?"
The colleague replied: "That person's transcript was already completed before I became Mrs. Mu Mu."
Dongye Ning was speechless for a moment and ran to the data room to find the other party's transcripts.
"Kadai Masuo, 42 years old, came to the bank temporarily to do business and was held hostage by the prisoner."
Dongye Ning's eyes swept over the information table, and then he noticed a piece of information in the next column that may or may not be important.
“Her husband is the bank president???”
After a short silence, Higashino Ning ran to the monitoring room with the transcript and asked to call the surveillance video from when Zengweijia was writing the transcript.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Haihara Ai was paying careful attention to all the strangers around her.
She is in an old castle located deep in the mountains and old forests.
The whole family is very strange, and the atmosphere of the castle feels a bit scary. Not long ago, Edogawa disappeared.
They didn't find anyone in each other's favorite toilet, and then the owner of the castle simply chose not to look for him, and instead asked everyone to start eating.
Haihara Ai only wants to say two words about this: outrageous.
Now there is only Dr. Ali around her who is trying to grow old and become stronger, but in reality can only serve as an assistant, and a young detective team who are reckless and whose body movements are always one step faster than their brains.
Hiss~~~High-end game!
"It's better to call the police first. Having reinforcements on the way will give you more confidence and make those hiding in the dark a little more fearful."
Haibara Ai finished the food in two quick bites, and then pulled Dr. Ali away who wanted to continue eating.
She is not a reckless person. In this situation, even calling the police requires at least two people to act together.
When they came outside, Dr. Ali was puzzled, "Xiao Ai, are you in such a hurry to find Conan?"
He rubbed his belly and smiled, "Even if we have to look for it, it would be more efficient to wait until everyone has finished eating and then look for it together."
Hui Yuan Ai said helplessly: "Doctor, I want to call the police."
"Call the police?!" Dr. A Li was obviously a little surprised.
"Yeah," Ai Huihara dragged him forward, "Edogawa disappeared very suddenly. The old man also said during dinner just now that there are many mechanisms in this castle. I think Edogawa accidentally ran into the mechanism."
"But this is not the point." Ai Huihara looked at Dr. Agasa deeply, "The point is that he lost contact."
"He is not a child. If he ran to a place where he couldn't leave by himself, he would definitely contact us through the detective armband."
"Since the detective armband has not moved until now, I assume that it is reasonable for him to be attacked and fainted or even kidnapped by someone."
Haiti sighed: "Doctor, don't treat that guy as a child and think he is playing a prank, and don't let your guard down because you blindly believe in his strength."
"If he is really omnipotent and has a full sense of crisis, he would not have been fed that kind of drug by Gin."
"The remaining three children are unreliable. Whether they can get out of here safely depends on the two of us."
Dr. Agasa was awakened by Ai Huihara's words.
The rest was secondary, but he did have some blind faith in Shinichi's personal strength and thought that he would not have any problems.
Now it seems that this problem may be quite serious.
Call the police! Must call the police!
Dr. Agasa began to walk on his own initiative, and the pace of the two people also quickened.
But just as the two were about to turn the corner, the scary old lady in a wheelchair came out of the restaurant.
Looking at the fleeting backs of the two, she showed a cold smile.
She had a hunch that the secret of the treasure in this castle would be solved today.
And the person who solved the puzzle was either the little boy named Edogawa Conan who had been knocked unconscious by him, or the little girl who was already alert.
"What a cute and beautiful face... I really want to tear it off and stick it on my face."
"I hope this treasure is worth my plastic surgery to make myself look like this."
