Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

As usual, he went to the doctor's house with Haibara Ai. Today, Okiya Subaru tried to make curry again. He probably figured out Nagai Hikaru's taste, so this time the curry was slightly spicy.

As expected, Nagai Hikaru didn't complain about the bad curry cooked by Subaru Okiya this time. His comment this time was that it was finally not a curry that he wanted to feed to Sally.

He also emphasized that Sally wouldn't like to eat it either.

After dinner, I received a call from Conan, saying that the lady’s husband was found in the company surrounded by iron sheets.

Nagai Hikaru was very grateful to Conan for informing him of the follow-up of the matter, and gently told him that he was not really interested.

After putting all the pots, pans, and utensils into the super-large dishwasher invented by the doctor, Subaru Okiya smiled and said, "Okay, it's dark outside. I'll take you home."

"Really." Nagai Hikaru said goodbye to Sally and Huihara Ai, and when he reached the door, he pointed to the Kudo residence next door and said, "You go back. I know the way home."

"It's so late, I'm fine anyway." Okiya Subaru followed with a smile. Sally happily rubbed Okiya Subaru's leg and smelled the freeze-dried smell from his trouser pocket.

Nagai Hikaru sighed and walked towards Haido 2-chome. "It's all your fault that Sally doesn't like dog food anymore and is always picky."

"Then I have to be responsible for it." Subaru Okiya took out a bag of freeze-dried food from his trouser pocket, tore it open and took out a small piece. He smiled and threw the freeze-dried food up. Sally jumped up excitedly to catch it.

After walking along the road with Sally for a while, Nagai Hikaru decided to find a topic: "Aren't you no longer an FBI agent? Where do you get your money? You don't have a salary, right?"

"The FBI still has funding for informant fees, so you don't have to worry about that." Subaru Okiya smiled and threw another freeze-dried pill forward. Sally ran forward more than three meters in one breath and jumped up to catch it.

It was already dark, and this stretch of road was all residential. After eight o'clock, there were basically few people walking on the road. Nagai Mitsuru extended Sally's leash four or five meters longer to make it easier for her to run.

There is no moon in the sky tonight, and the dim street lights cast yellow spots of light.

"So you are trying to get funding now?" Nagai Mitsuru laughed. "That sounds great."

"I think I'm still working hard." Okiya Subaru smiled and touched Sally's neck when she ran back. The rose hat on Sally's head made it impossible for him to touch her head.

"I think I work very hard." Nagai Mitsuru recalled himself and nodded with satisfaction. At this time, he passed by a fence separated by iron sheets. Nagai Mitsuru looked up at the height and found that it could cover almost two-thirds of the electric poles.

"What kind of company is this?" Nagai Hikaru remembered that Conan said that the husband of the client worked there.

"It seems like he's buying and selling second-hand goods."

"The fact that they were able to open a company means that they have become quite big." Nagai Mitsuru sighed, "This should be quite profitable. Why did the wife run away in fear when she saw it... Sally?"

Sally, who had just run out and received another freeze-dried pill, did not run back immediately, but looked vigilantly at the entrance of the iron fence.

After passing this iron fence and two more intersections is Nagai Hikaru's home. In the past, Subaru Okiya would stop sending Nagai Hikaru back at about this point and let him go back by himself.

"Sally, what's wrong?" Nagai Mitsuru walked to the entrance of the wall. Sally had already bent her body and turned into an offensive posture.

Nagai Mitsuru looked inside and saw a human body being burned by flames. A black figure nearby suddenly turned his head and looked over.

When the black figure rushed over with a long stick, Chongya Subaru came over and kicked the steel stick away, then punched the man in the abdomen, and pushed him up with his palm and hit him on the chin as he flew backwards, causing the man to faint completely.

There was a long-haired woman next to the burning body, and only then did she scream.

Nagai Mitsuru looked at the man lying on the ground, at the woman who was still screaming, and then at the still burning thing that should have been a corpse.

I had no choice but to pick up my phone and call the police.

When Inspector Megure arrived at the scene with the Investigation Division, he was surprised to see Hikaru Nagai: "You were the one who called the police? Did you see the body?"

Nagai Mitsuru pointed at the figure that had put out the fire: "The body." He then pointed at the man lying on the ground: "The perpetrator at the scene." He then pointed at the long-haired woman who was kneeling on the ground next to him: "I'm not sure, but the one standing with the perpetrator is probably an accomplice."

Inspector Megure looked around and asked, "Are you walking your dog alone?"

"Ah, there was a companion, but he left first because of something." Nagai Mitsuru sighed. Why was it me who had to clean up the mess in the end?

Gao Mushi was a little surprised: "So this time, you saw the murderer committing the crime directly? And there was an accomplice?"

The woman kneeling on the ground finally cried out: "I didn't do it! I was forced!"

Then she pointed at the unconscious man on the ground and told him everything that had happened.

It turned out that she asked Maori Kogoro to help her find her missing husband. As a result, she found that her husband was the president of a local company, but it seemed that her husband had committed a crime, so he wanted to take her with him to flee the country. But in order to facilitate his escape, he had to kill someone to fake his death and then let his wife give false testimony.

Nagai Hikaru was puzzled: "What crime did you commit that made you flee abroad?"

The woman's eyes flickered as she looked towards the iron wall.

Nagai Mitsuru took a look at the iron sheet and saw the problem at a glance: "Oh, there is a layer inside this wall." He explained to Takagi Wataru, "You should know what it is if you break it open with your machine. Officer Takagi, can I go back?"

"Ah, Nagai-san, we still need to take notes."

Nagai Mitsuru's cell phone rang at this time. He picked it up and saw the caller: "Brother Bai, oh, no, nothing... I encountered a murder on the road..."

"Oh, is someone at home asking why you haven't gone home yet?" Takagi Shigeru looked at his watch and it was almost ten o'clock.

"Yes, he said he was coming to pick me up. I'd like to ask Officer Takagi to just write the statement. It's too late, I have to go back to sleep." Nagai Mitsuru put down his phone.

Sally yawned at the right moment.

Officer Megure came over and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Nagai-san. However, when a murderer is committing a crime, it is more important for Nagai-san to protect himself first. It is good that you rushed out and solved the criminal this time. But what if you encounter a gun next time? We should be more cautious."

Nagai Hikaru nodded obediently: "This time it was Sally who ran over and saw it. I followed Sally over and was seen by them first. Next time I will pay attention and call the police first."

Inspector Megure was very satisfied with Nagai Hikaru's attitude, which seemed much more obedient than those members of the Junior Detective League who refused to change despite repeated warnings.

"But even Nagai-san has started to encounter dead bodies at the scene." Inspector Megure was very melancholy. Has the cell phone detective also started to harm reality?

Nagai Mitsuru was also very depressed. He just went to pick up Conan and the others today, but he was still involved in a murder case.

Sally at my feet stood up and ran excitedly to the other side of the street until she was caught by a leash that was only five meters long.

A long-haired figure walked over from the street.

"Brother Bai!" Nagai Mitsuru ran over there happily.

Sally circled around Habashi twice and the leash was wrapped around him. Habashi took the leash handed over by Nagai Mitsuru, shortened it, and glanced at the group of police officers who were still collecting evidence behind him: "What's going on?"

"Someone died, and this company probably has problems. I suspect this piece of land will be auctioned off in the future." Nagai Mitsuru had just sent an email to the person in charge of Mika Construction to remind him.

"Can't you leave?"

Takagi Wataru, who followed behind, was embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Nagai-san, as one of the witnesses, still has some questions to be clarified. We have notified Detective Mori, and he will be here soon."

"Uncle Maori? Why did you call him over?"

"We have to find out whether the lady's testimony is true. And then compare it with what you said." Takagi Shigeru explained.

Nagai Hikaru felt that Okiya Subaru was indeed experienced in running away.

After a while, Conan was seen running towards him, calling "Sister Xiaoguang". Nagai Mitsuru held his chin with his hand.

Running in front of Nagai Hikaru, Conan panted and grabbed his hand: "Do you always pass by here when you walk your dog? Or did you come here today just to listen to me?"

"If you take that map and draw it, you will know that it is normal for me to pass by here." Nagai Mitsuru tapped Conan on the head.

"The kid who lived with you before?" Haba Shira looked down at Conan.

"Good evening, Mr. Yuba." Conan smiled sweetly at him.

Hanaba Shiro narrowed his eyes, nodded slightly, and then looked at Nagai Hikaru: "Can we go back now?"

Nagai Hikaru shook his head and picked up Conan: "It's so late, why don't you sleep? You have to go to class tomorrow, and you have to take the entrance exam to the University of Tokyo."

Conan curled his lips: "Can you please stop mentioning Todai?"

"Ah, do you feel you are under too much pressure?" Nagai Mitsuru laughed.

Sally squatted at Yubabai's feet and yawned again, with her head resting on Yubabai's legs.

Conan saw that Takagi Wataru was about to talk to Maori Kogoro and the previous client, so he hurriedly struggled to jump out of Nagai Mitsuru's arms and ran over to listen to the case.

Hanaba Haku chuckled: "Todai? Do you want to go?"

"No, that was just a reminder of his study goals. But it should be easy for him to go to the University of Tokyo. After all, he finished reading the Sherlock Holmes collection in kindergarten." Mitsuru Nagai tidied his hair that was messed up by the night wind, and looked down to see that Sally had already closed her eyes while leaning against Haba's legs.

"You've seen him since kindergarten?" Habashiro was surprised. "He's a special child."

"Yeah, it's a pity that he's only interested in solving cases, otherwise he'd be a good researcher." Nagai Mitsuru checked the time again, "It's past ten o'clock, I'll go ask if I can leave now?"
