Conan's New Police Story

Chapter 38 The Long Kneeling Under the Rainy Night
The thought was fleeting in his mind, and Katsumi Uehara, who suppressed the thoughts in his mind, was blowing bubbles in his mouth. He took out his mobile phone from his suit pocket, found out the number marked "Kujo Reiko", and pressed the dial button.

It wasn't the first time that his closing report was returned by the trump card of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office. Reiko Kujo's strictness on the closing report was well known even in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Of course, such a strict working attitude brought her an extremely strong performance in court—according to rumors, many lawyers were afraid to accept the commission when they heard that their opponent was Reiko Kujo.

This is undoubtedly a great honor for a prosecutor, and it is also a source of motivation to spur her to work harder.

After all, there is still a big mountain pressing on Kujo Reiko's head-the undefeated queen Eri who has never lost a lawsuit since her debut.

"Criminal Uehara, I'm busy right now, I'll talk about the Moon Shadow Island case later, and I'll call you."

"um, I--"

After the call was connected, Uehara Katsumi pressed the hang up button hastily before he could even say a complete sentence, leaving him holding the phone in his hand with a puzzled look on his face.

Why are you so anxious?
Could it be possible that he and Fei Yingli have sex again?
"Father! What are you doing! Hurry up! We have to catch a car to Kyoto! If we are late, we won't be able to attend the wedding!"

"I understand the truth, but can you tell me why you didn't let the police send all these children back? I can refund all the board and lodging expenses!"

"Oh, don't say that Dad, they have already made a promise that they will not run around on the Shinkansen again."

"Really, a bunch of troublesome brats."

"........."

On the other side, the father and daughter Mao Lilan and Mori Kogoro had a heated debate on the question of whether the members of the Boy Detective Corps would stay or not. Conan, who was following Mao Lilan's buttocks, drooped his eyes and was speechless.

Normally, he would definitely be on the side of his childhood sweetheart, but this time, he felt that the uncle was right, and the three of them, Mitsuhiko Gentayu, were really capable of making trouble.

I almost let him on the Shinkansen a few times before——

Ok?
Conan, with his hands resting behind his head, felt that someone was looking at him from behind. He stopped and turned his head to look in the direction, but he happened to see the doubtful expression on Katsumi Uehara's brows that hadn't dissipated.

——? !

Oops!

Eavesdropper!
Suddenly remembering the bug that he hadn't recovered in time, Conan stood motionless as if he had been immobilized by someone, his pupils constricted suddenly, and his heart beat faster.

At that time, because of the suddenness of the incident, he hurriedly thought of wrapping the bug with chewing gum, but forgot to hide his fingerprints.

If police...

No, not right.Theoretically speaking, if the bug is also discovered by the police, it makes no sense that he can't hear the sound now.

"Conan, what are you doing? Why don't you leave? Hurry up, or we won't be able to catch up with the wedding start time."

"Oh, okay, come to sister Xiaolan right away."

Conan, who was called back to God by Xiaolan's call, hurriedly responded, with an innocent smile on his face, but his heart became more and more heavy.

He now only hopes that the police will see that the chewing gum can be ignored as garbage when they clean up the scene, otherwise...

so impulsive...

Conan, who resumed his actions, sighed silently in his heart: It's okay, the glasses made by the doctor haven't received the signal from the bug until now, it should be——

"Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky, I have to work overtime again tonight..."

After a messy electrical sound, Uehara Katsumi's lazy complaint came from Conan's ear.

"..."

"It looks like the weather outside is going to rain, work overtime on rainy days, tsk."

Katsumi Uehara, who returned to his seat and waited for Kujo Reiko's call, turned his head and glanced at the dense dark clouds outside the window, his legs were resting on the desk and shaking slightly, his leather shoes collided with the evidence box on the side of the desk from time to time, lazily Stretched my back.

"When you go to the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office, remember to bring an umbrella, otherwise, I'm afraid you'll have to ask for an excuse tomorrow to say that you got caught in the rain and had a fever."

After receiving a glass of water, Sato Miwako, who passed by Uehara Katsumi's work station, couldn't help but move back a few steps, stopped and turned around to ask, "Remind you in advance, so that you don't forget."

"You can insult my aesthetics, but you can't belittle my personality." Katsumi Uehara took a newspaper and spread it out, retorting without looking up.

Miwako Sato, who was holding a white porcelain cup with one hand, raised her eyebrows irresistibly: "Is this considered belittling?"

Katsumi Uehara, who was about to say something, suddenly felt the vibration of his mobile phone. He took it out and saw that the caller ID showed that it was Reiko Kujo who had just hung up on him.

"It looks like I have to make an appointment with my aunt for a game of mahjong."

Glancing at Miwako Sato who seemed to be explaining a fact, Katsumi Uehara did not forget to give her a final "you understand" look when he pressed the answer button, and the latter's expression changed immediately.

"Hello? I'm Uehara."

Uehara Katsumi, who didn't give Sato Miwako a chance to ask questions, pointed to his mobile phone, and there was a smile on his brow.

"I'm sorry Uehara, I was really busy just now. Do you have time tonight about the matter of Moon Shadow Island?" On the other end of the phone, the female voice who had just finished her work was obviously a little tired.

"Understood, I'll go now." Katsumi Uehara, who understood the implication, did not refuse, and after explaining to Reiko Kujo on the phone, he hung up the phone.

Watching her partner get up from the chair, Miwako Sato, knowing that he was going to the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office, couldn't help saying, "Be careful driving on rainy days, Uehara."

Uehara Katsumi, who didn't respond, raised his right hand high and made an "ok" gesture in the air.

..................................................................

The Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office, the full name of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office, is where Reiko Kujo, known as the "Madonna of prosecutors", works here, specializing in handling cases and prisoners transferred by the Metropolitan Police Department.

It's not the first time for Uehara Katsumi to come to this place.

One is born, the second is cooked.

Only this time, Katsumi Uehara came out of the parking lot holding an umbrella and saw a rare sight under the building where Reiko Kujo's office was located——

A woman, a woman in a long black trench coat, was kneeling on the steps of the building.The pouring rain smeared her make-up and fell down her silky, waist-length hair.

The yellow mud on the stiletto heels of the black boots blurred a dim yellow pond under his feet, and his not-so-amazing facial features looked a little weak under the night sky of lightning and thunder.

Katsumi Uehara frowned, and looked up at the only office in the building that was still lit.

The sound of the heel hitting the ground and the sound of tapping——

Not long after, the sound of slightly messy footsteps approached Uehara Katsumi's ears, and a slightly panting long-haired woman appeared at the corner of the stairs on the first floor stepping on stiletto heels.

"Miss Miyazawa, if you kneel like this again, they will strictly prohibit you from coming to the inspection hall."

Under Uehara Katsumi's surprised eyes, the ace prosecutor Kujo Reiko, who has always been known for her strictness, had a rare tone full of helplessness.
