Yuji Kudo, the manga artist behind Detective Conan.

"He can't just be a misanthropic person, can he? That's impossible."

Yuji pinched his chin and turned to Shiota Heihachiro: "Are you really just regular employees of the Todoroki Motorcycle Shop? You've never met Neishi before?"

"Yes...yes, I didn't lie to you!" Shiota Heihachiro saw the people in front of him staring at him, raised his right hand, and then slowly lowered it: "I...I did have something to hide from you."

"I already knew. Mr. Masuyama said he had no recollection of either of you." Jintaro waved his hand, pointing at Shiota speechlessly, "You're not employees of the Todoroki Motorcycle Shop, so who are you?"

Yantian coughed, looked around, and then uttered the words one by one.

“I… Caiping and I are actually two patrol officers in Nishikyo Ward, Kyoto. The police chief arranged for us to go to Tokyo to participate in solving a serial murder case. Just the day before yesterday, four people from Kyoto died.”

“Nishikyo Ward… Kyoto has 11 wards, and Kyoto sent 22 police officers this time, that’s quite a lot…” Marina was corrected by Yuuji poking her shoulder before she could finish speaking.

"21, one died last night."

“Oh, right, there are 21.” Marina nodded immediately.

“What 21? It’s two.” Shiota Heihachiro rolled his eyes. “Kyoto only sent two of us. They said this is a Tokyo case, and Kyoto can just gloss over it.”

"Then why...why didn't you say so sooner?" Jintaro moved closer to Shiota Heihachiro.

“Two young policemen, who had only been out of their homes for a day, had their motorcycles broken and couldn’t find a place to stay. One of them was even killed by an old man at night. How can we talk about this? We called the police department yesterday, and all they said was to send a motorcycle.”

Shiota Heihachiro pointed at Neishi Matsu: "Now that the case is solved, I think Saihei must have seen what he was doing before he was killed." "Are you stupid? Didn't everyone say he was attacked from behind..." Yuji thought for a moment: "When they were talking about the motive earlier, didn't they say his wife was dead, his parents were gone, but what about his son?"

As the group watched Neishi Matsu being escorted to the shrine entrance by the police, a few of them realized they hadn't mentioned Neishi's son earlier, so Kuromaru Yata specifically looked at Masuyama Kenzo.

"His son must have died when he went to China with him. I heard from the town that he came back from China alone."

Although Masuyama Kenzo answered in this way, he also realized that something was wrong. He looked at Neishi Matsu, who was bowing his head and not saying a word, but whose hands were handcuffed by the police and who was about to follow him all the way back to the police station.

"Wait. Mr. Neishi, before the police take you back to the station and call people to search this shrine, you should tell us where you hid the knife you used to cut meat and those contraband items."

If only injectable drugs were used to kill someone, Genshi would definitely be dead.

"Since you're so pitiful, once this part is demolished in Aichi, we'll do our best to raise funds to rebuild Neishi Shrine in other parts of Aichi."

Upon hearing Masuyama Kenzo's words, Neishi looked up at him, but still shook his head.

"It's no use if you don't tell. When the police come to search, they'll find out anyway."

Seeing that Neishi was still being stubborn, Marina advised, "Why don't you just tell them, Mr. Neishi? It'll make things easier for the police officers, and they'll be more lenient with you because you're so honest." (End of Chapter)
