Upon hearing Senichi's words, one of the three individuals among them had a change in facial expression, muttering softly.
In the end, amidst the astonished gazes of the other two, they slowly took a step forward.
"Noboru!"
"How could it be... you..."
Noboru slowly stepped forward, not answering his companion's question, and looked at Senichi with a complex expression. "Who are you, exactly..."
"I am Senichi Karazawa, just a Police detective from Tokyo on vacation here," Senichi smiled and introduced himself.
"What... What..."
"Karazawa... Are you the..."
"The famous Police detective from the Metropolitan Police..."
As if they were overwhelmed by Haki, after hearing Senichi introduce himself, the three people's expressions once again plunged into deep shock.
And seeing the three of them looking so shocked, Senichi finally had a substantive understanding of his own reputation.
So, I'm already this famous?
"I see, if it's you, everything makes sense..."
Noboru on the side was the first to regain his composure, looking at Senichi calmly. "Since you've already seen through all of my murderous intent, there's nothing to hide...
That's right, if it weren't for you arresting Aramaki in advance. Tonight, I would have mustered the courage to kill him and avenge my father!"
"The word 'courage' is a praise for humans who stand up in the face of adversity, not to describe words like 'murder'!"
Senichi sternly rebuked, "If you still have such thoughts, it means you haven't recognized your own mistakes. Go back and reflect on it!
Murder is not an excuse for avoiding difficulties!"
"You are right..." Noboru, who had been displaying a bad attitude since their meeting, lowered his head obediently in front of Senichi's lecture. "I will seriously reflect on my mistakes..."
"Well, that's good," Senichi nodded in satisfaction after getting his fix of being a strict teacher. He then proceeded to give the three of them a modified account of the situation.
Learning that they had found the ship involved in the accident from Aramaki, with enough evidence to convict him, the three of them couldn't help but feel a mixture of joy and anger.
They were happy that their enemy would finally face justice, and there was hope for revenge. However, they were furious to discover that Aramaki was indeed the one responsible for their father's death.
In the end, the feeling of avenging their father took precedence. After expressing their gratitude to Senichi again and extending an invitation to treat him to dinner in the evening, they didn't wait for Senichi's response and hurriedly returned home to share the good news with their mother and family.
Senichi, on the other hand, concealed his accomplishments and fame. After bidding farewell to the three, he called Ayako and the group, who had woken up and started their afternoon sightseeing itinerary, and joined them in their activities.
With the case resolved, Senichi was finally able to relax and enjoy the rest of the afternoon.
"Ah, I'm starving!"
As soon as they sat down in the hotel's East Wind Hall, Genta held his stomach and exclaimed, "I want dumplings!"
"We had so much fun this afternoon," Sonoko also sat down and immediately poured herself a glass of water to drink. "I'm hungry too, let's order some food."
"If you can, please join us," just as they finished speaking, a male voice rang out.
"It's you!?" Sonoko turned her head towards the source of the voice with a skeptical look. "What are you up to now?"
"No, no, we don't mean anything else, we just want to express our gratitude," Yuta quickly waved his hand and looked at Senichi, "After all, Officer Senichi has helped us a lot. Calling him our benefactor wouldn't be an exaggeration. Even if it's not out of respect, please accept our invitation to dinner as a token of our gratitude."
"Gratitude?"
"Treating us?"
"Benefactor?"
Sonoko, Ran, and Ayako had puzzled expressions on their faces upon hearing the words of the three. Meanwhile, Conan, standing nearby, had a sixth sense-like feeling that something wasn't quite right...
Speaking of Officer Senichi... he didn't solve another case without my knowledge, did he?
Wait a minute...
Thinking about it, Conan recalled snippets of conversations during their afternoon outing. They mentioned taking away a drunkard from a bar or something.
Could it be related to this?
With a mix of curiosity, hesitation, and a complex blend of emotions he couldn't quite distinguish, Conan perked up his ears. He listened as Ran, Sonoko, and Ayako urged Noboru and the others to recount the whole story.
Then, Conan facepalmed mentally.
Are you kidding me??
You actually managed to pull off such a high-difficulty stealth operation while we were taking our nap?
This case... considering the situation, it seems impossible to solve no matter how you look at it!!
Now we know that Aramaki still had evidence of the ship that caused the accident that can be used to convict, but I didn't know it earlier!
In that situation, how did Officer Senichi manage to extract such critical information from Aramaki?
Placing himself in an identical situation, Conan couldn't come up with a way to break through. Especially knowing that Senichi got Aramaki to confess so straightforwardly after just having a drink, Conan was seriously questioning life.
And when the Local Officer completed copying the video and handed it back to Senichi, he became even more puzzled.
Because...
He watched it, and he still doesn't understand anything. What's else there to say?
It's only natural, the video is useless because the conversation between the two was basically a normal Q&A, nothing suspicious. This was clearly a result of Senichi's intentional actions.
Interference wave operation... Conan admitted he was having trouble understanding, so, following the principle that shared suffering is half the suffering... no, the more, the better, Conan directly called Hattori Heiji.
Hattori Heiji: ???
Initially, when he received a call from his good buddy Conan, Hattori Heiji was in a pretty good mood.
Upon hearing Conan's purpose, he got interested in the case that Officer Senichi solved and had stumped Conan which prompted him to call for a discussion.
Then...
After hearing Conan's account of the case, Hattori Heiji slowly typed out a question mark.
I'm not typing this question mark because I think there's something wrong with me. I'm typing it because I think there's something wrong with your brain?
Seriously, did you skip the most crucial part of the case and come here just to mess with me?!
In the end, it took Conan quite some time to explain it to him, making Hattori Heiji believe that it was indeed not a prank on his part, but a case Officer Senichi had just solved.
So, following his comrade's lead, Hattori Heiji also facepalmed mentally.
Brother, why do you never approach me for the good stuff? Every time, it's this messed-up stuff!!
WTF!!
