Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Conan, not knowing that Cheng Shi was adding to his own drama in his heart, chuckled:

"Don't you know better than I do what my father did before he died?"

The old policeman shook his head:

"Of course I don't understand! He's the only person I haven't understood in all these years!

I don't understand why he insisted on withdrawing when he was clearly only playing the least dangerous role in the whole process;

I don't understand why he wanted to retire and live an ordinary life when he had such an opportunity to make a lot of money.

I especially don't understand why he would take his wife and daughter with him to die, even though he had a premonition that he would be in danger and had prepared that coded suicide note in advance!

"That's because Dad is different from you!"

Seeing the other party belittling his father in such a way, Cheng Shi couldn't help but open his mouth to refute.

"puff!"

The old police officer couldn't help but sneered:

"You say he's different from us? What's the difference? Who's nobler than the other? If he was noble, why would he get involved in drug trafficking? It's all for the money!"

To put it bluntly, this guy is a jerk! He's clearly a beneficiary, yet he still wants to keep himself out of it. He even sacrificed his wife and daughter for the sake of his own innocence!

And you even call it letting the flames cleanse your sins? Ugh! Isn't it just because you're famous that you're worried about your reputation being ruined?

Cheng Shi stared at the old policeman angrily. Just as he was about to say something, Conan spoke first:

"Yes, maybe he made the wrong choice at first, but he chose to turn back in the end! Unlike you, you are the one who should not have been involved! You are the one who was blinded by the interests!"

"Yes, you are right."

To Chengshi's surprise, the old policeman not only did not refute, but nodded seriously:

"I was blinded by money! But, so what?

I'm already retired, so what? I'm just a patrol chief! Not even a patrol chief!

I have no money, no home, and no other skills. If I am retired, what do you think I can do? What else do you think I can do?

Now that I have this opportunity, I must plan ahead for my future! As long as I have money, even if I lose my police uniform, I can still find my love, my home, and everything I want!

"What about you twelve years ago? Were you in such a serious situation back then? If you had reported the situation here after obtaining Keiji Aso's suicide note, do you think your rank would still remain that of Patrol Sergeant?

Do you think that if you had not colluded with those four people, threatened them with Keiji Aso's relics, and acted as their umbrella, would you still be staying on this remote island and being a policeman with no sense of existence?

To put it bluntly, you just had evil thoughts when you saw Keiji Aso's belongings and hid his belongings.

Then, using the secret of knowing their drug trafficking as an excuse to threaten them, you became their protective umbrella?

"how do you know!"

At this time, after listening to Conan's analysis, the old policeman finally lost his original calm!

"Why, why do you know so much? You weren't here when that loser Keiji Aso died, and I was the only one there when his belongings were discovered!

Why, you know everything that happened at that time!"

Cheng Shi still hasn't reacted yet:

'What happened? What happened? Why did this old policeman suddenly explode? Is he asking me? Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?'

Fortunately, although he was very confused in his heart, on the surface, he still cooperated by lowering his head and trying to keep his expression as calm as possible.

"I was just guessing before, but the moment you admitted it, I knew I was right!"

Conan said something that was so infuriating that it would kill him. After hearing this, the old policeman in front of Cheng Shi was so angry that his face turned blue and red.

But he had experienced many ups and downs, so he quickly calmed down. He let out a long sigh:

"Boy, you're so cruel! Just like you guessed! Those idiots on the island regard me as the embodiment of justice. They hide from me all day long and hide things like making big money from me!

But it’s also thanks to their misunderstanding of me!

If it weren't for this reason, how could your father have stated so much evidence of their crime and the names of the villagers involved in his suicide note, and still expected me to call the police for him?

But, as you said, in this remote and dilapidated island with no hope of development, what good would it do even if I reported it?

A quick rise to the top? Come on, in this shabby place, even if my police rank rises to the top, what good will it do? It's useless!

Luckily, I'm smart and figured out the key! A high position, no matter how high it is, is useless! Only money is everything! So, I hid his belongings and used the information within to threaten Guishan and the others!

Haha, those idiots were still stubborn at first, saying that I was wrong. Even after I showed them the evidence of their drug trafficking, they still looked panicked and said that they were possessed by the devil and advised me to let them go!

Until then, they still thought I was a righteous person! Isn’t this funny? "

At this point, the old policeman became very proud! Who could have imagined that under this bright and beautiful appearance, there was such a dirty soul hidden?

Looking at the self-satisfied man in front of him, Cheng Shi felt sick to his stomach. He couldn't understand how someone could be so filthy and depraved.

"Where is Aso Keiji's belongings? Give it to me!"

At this moment, Conan suddenly spoke loudly! At the same time, he actively activated his "Induction" skill. Then, he felt a sense of fatigue surge into his brain, as if he had been up all night for several nights.

On Cheng Shi's side, he was wondering why Conan suddenly spoke in a commanding tone, when he suddenly found that the old man in front of him suddenly stood up in a trance.

"Aso Keiji's belongings... were hidden here by me."

As he spoke, he opened the drawer next to him, took out everything inside, and removed the bottom of the drawer. A thick suicide note was stored there in plain sight.

Although the color of the paper has turned yellow due to the influence of time, the text on it is still clearly visible.

Looking at the paper close at hand, Cheng Shi's hands trembled a little:

"Is that Dad's suicide note?"

As he said this, he involuntarily stretched out his hand, wanting to take the suicide note. However, before his hand touched the letter, a pair of wrinkled hands took the letter out from in front of him.

Cheng Shi: “?”
