Congratulations on Your Arrest Chapter 247

  Chapter 247 Is this a lie? (Dazhang asked for a monthly pass)

  The eight or nine-year-old blond boy in front of him is named Youni Popov, and his missing sister is named Nova Popov.

I have asked all over the shelter in the morning. No one has seen his sister today. The person in charge of the shelter just took the little boy Youni to the police station in the nearby Edogawa district to do it. After registering as a missing person, he went back to the shelter without any further information.

And the police officer who received him in the inquiry room of the police station saw the appearance of the little boy Youni, and after hearing that the boy was an orphan who was exiled from the Grand Duchy of Sayash in the north to the Wano Country Asylum, his attitude was obviously perfunctory. a lot.

  After all, in Wano Country, there are too many cases of this kind of missing persons every year. Some of them are either missing or temporarily run away from home. If all the people in the police station are dispatched immediately after receiving the case, there will not be so many police resources.

   Taking a step back, even if there are, the priority of these police resources must be those missing children in the country whose parents are squatting at the police station to urgently urge them.

  If this is not done properly, those parents may use various channels to make the police station unsafe.

  But children like Yuni and Nova who wandered from the disintegrated Grand Duchy of Shayash, who have no father or mother, and no one cares about them, can be delayed appropriately, and maybe they will be found by their own people.

   Or. Really can't find it.

  At this time, seeing Youni standing at the door with a nervous and uneasy look, and looking up at Xia Li in front of him from time to time, it seems that this is the only straw for him to find his sister.

  Damn human traffickers.

   Higashinohara cursed secretly in his heart.

From Youni's description, his elder sister Nova, who lives with him in New Tokyo, has very normal behavior and intelligence. Even if she goes out on weekdays, she will never forget her way home, and she will never leave the shelter without permission. After all, there is no her there. Brothers who depend on each other for life.

   And Nova also brought a mobile phone with her. Even if she really gets lost or encounters normal troubles, she can call her mobile phone for help.

  Now that this situation is happening, the only people Higashinohara can think of are human traffickers, and people like Nova are indeed the first choice for those people.

  Thinking of this, Higashinohara's eyes drifted to Xia Li again.

  The little boy Youni contacted her through the contact information of the Aragaki Detective Agency, and regarded her as the last straw for his sister.

  If Xia Li refuses, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the little boy to find other ways to find his sister.

  Maybe many years later, on a misty morning like today, he will think of his sister who disappeared in the morning mist that day, and hate himself for being weak and incompetent again

  But will Xia Li, a Tianhu girl, refuse?

   "It's so deceiving!"

   Slap!

   Soon!

  Xia Li patted the small square table on the tatami with one hand, and said with righteous indignation:

   "Shouldn't the people in the shelter be responsible for every child? And the **** in the police department, do they want to deal with it coldly and wait for the case to expire? It's really deceiving!"

After finishing speaking, Xia Li turned around and said to Youni seriously, "Don't worry! Since my detective Xia Li found out about it, she will definitely not let it go. We promise to help you find your sister. "

"Really?"

  Yuni's sleepy little face suddenly lit up, and he stared at Xia Li excitedly.

   His elder sister was his only support in this world after his parents died in the chaos of the revolutionary army.

  He quickly lowered his head and rummaged through his pockets, finally found a small stack of crumpled green banknotes, and handed them to Xia Li with his hands blushing.

   Higashinohara glanced at it and found that it was the currency once issued by the Grand Duchy of Shayash, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

  The Grand Duchy of Shayash has long since disintegrated, and the banknotes this little guy took out are almost the same as "Mingbi".

Youni with a blushing face seemed to know that these were worthless, and whispered softly, "My sister told me that we can't buy delicious food with the money on us, but I only have these. Mom told us to hide It was only given to us when I was here, oh yes!"

  Youni's big olive-green eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and he took off the small gray schoolbag he was carrying from his body, and put it on the ground, flipping through it.

  Finally, he took out a few bullet casings and glass balls, which are regarded as treasures by children, and held them in front of Xia Li more solemnly than before, and said reluctantly, "These...these are my most precious."

   "Of course you should keep the most precious things for yourself." Before he could finish speaking, Xia Li interrupted him.

Shaking the green banknotes of the Grand Duchy of Shayash in her hand, she said proudly, "This is enough, your entrustment, my name is Detective Xia Li Next, don't worry, we will definitely find it for you." Sister's, isn't it, Higashino-kun?”

Um?

   Right, what the **** is Higashino-kun?

   Higashinohara was stunned for a few seconds.

   Immediately, he gave a dry cough and nodded slightly under Yoni's expectant gaze.

  The latter had a very happy smile on his face, as if he had just breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

  Even though Youni is young, he is only nine years old, but he has experienced such unimaginable upheavals as the destruction of the country and family, and displacement, and his mind is far more precocious than ordinary children.

There are four people in this room. From the moment he entered the door, he saw Higashinohara sitting on the tatami mat in this room, facing the main seat of the door. Kolotia next to him added food and meals to him from time to time, and the person next to him was about the same age as him. The Nishimaru Miri is also based on Higashinohara.

Even Xia Li, who acts recklessly and likes to brag about herself, Youni also noticed that every time this big sister with long ears said a word, she would glance at the big brother sitting in the main seat from time to time, He acted exactly the same as he did in front of his sister Nova, and he immediately knew who the "talker" was.

  Now the speaker nods, of course he is happy.

   Higashinohara naturally didn't know that he had become a "talker" in the eyes of the little boy Youni. The reason why he would nod was definitely not possible for money.

  Even if Xia Li gave half of the small stack of banknotes to Higashinohara, Higashinohara took it without any value other than commemorative significance.

  Collection value after several years? At that time, it was still unclear whether the descendants of the Grand Duchy of Shayash were still there.

  The reason why Higashinohara agreed, on the one hand, is because of Miri Nishimaru's experience last year, he has always hated human traffickers.

   On the other hand, the [Crime Manual] in his mind may not refuse these human traffickers.

  Speaking of which, [Guilty Manual] triggering tasks are completely random, and the crime value is just a reference, there are no specific rules.

   But these human traffickers are definitely worth a lot of crime. If they can be caught along the line of Youni's missing sister, they can try again while saving lives. Naturally, Higashinohara has no reason to refuse the thing that kills two birds with one stone.

  At this time, seeing Higashinohara nodding, Xia Li, who was trying to save face, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

  Now the unscrupulous uncle Aragaki Satoru of Aragaki Detective Agency doesn't care about anything at all, and retreats behind the scenes as a charterer. Xia Li takes care of all the big and small things in the office.

   But it's okay to ask her to follow up on Vote's extramarital affairs. After all, the client provided the specific name and route. She, a girl, doesn't have to worry about being regarded as a “crazy person”, and it's easy to follow up.

  But the current situation is that apart from the photos and limited personal information provided by Youni, they don't know anything about the missing Nova.

  If Higashinohara didn't nod, then Xia Li might be a bit of a Muggle.

   At this moment, Xia Li immediately approached excitedly and asked, "So what should we do now, Higashinohara?"

   It can be seen that after so long of extramarital affairs and investigations, the famous detective Xia Li is also panicking, and now a "big case" finally came.

Now how to do?

Higashinohara looked at the "Broken Demon Sukiyaki" on the table, and then at the little boy Yoni standing opposite the table with a growling stomach, and sighed, "What else can we do, let's eat first .”

As soon as she heard the food, Xia Li immediately lost her excitement, went over to serve Youni a bowl of rice, and then moved her buttocks towards Higashinohara, making room for Youni. Location.

  Youni seems to be introverted, and he is very embarrassed when he sees this, but his growling stomach can't be hidden from everyone, so he can only timidly sit on the corner of the table with his buttocks on his back.

   "Let's eat first. Only when you are full will you have the strength to go find your sister!" Xia Li is very good at comforting and enlightening others. Looking at her like that, she knows that she must have often enlightened herself.

   After sitting down, Youni, who kept his head down, heard that he was looking for his sister, so he managed to pull himself together, picked up the chopsticks and ate two mouthfuls, but it was rare to see him hissing.

  This is Balrog Sukiyaki.

   The little guy is not afraid of spicy food?

   Higashinohara glanced twice before reacting.

   It's not that I'm not afraid of spicy food, I'm afraid I've never eaten such delicious food. It seems that the life in the overseas juvenile shelter is not easy.

   After eating, Kolotia removed the pot and cleaned up the dishes, and Xia Li took Higashinohara to discuss how to help Yuni find his sister Nova.

  Although Higashinohara is not a famous detective, he has a strong logical thinking ability and knows what it means to follow the clues.

  The current "Vine" is not in the police station, where the case is estimated to have not even been opened, but in the shelter where Yuni and Nova live.

   "Yes!"

  Xia Li clapped her hands, her eyes glistened with blazing light, "That shelter is so irresponsible, it's definitely not the first time a child has been lost, maybe they still have collusion with someone outside!"

  Seeing Xia Li's face of conspiracy theories, Higashinohara shook his head.

  Less gossip, now that he decided to help, Higashinohara greeted Kolotia after eating, changed his clothes, and prepared to go out.

  In the corridor, both Xia Li and Youni are ready to go.

  Unexpectedly, Miri Nishimaru also changed into a small brown suit at some point, with a pair of black round-toed leather shoes under her feet, and her golden wavy hair was shining brilliantly in the sun.

   "What? You want to go too?"

"Uh-huh!"

  Nishimaru Miri nodded decisively.

   Higashinohara hesitated.

   Then he remembered that Miri Nishimaru, like him, had been bored at home for many days during the spring break, and she didn't neglect to exercise on weekdays.

   Now Wano Country is in great chaos, and it is impossible for me to protect her all the time in the future. It seems good to take the opportunity to experience it.

   "Okay, let's go together." Higashinohara nodded immediately.

  Nishimaru Miri's small face suddenly beamed with joy, revealing an expression of extreme joy.

   Higashinohara has always acted alone, and rarely takes her to act together.

  The person who is always protected wants to do even small things for the person who protects her.

Edogawa District is located in the northeast of New Tokyo. It is also known as the "Three Brothers Shitamachi" with Adachi District and Katsushika District. It is separated from Chiba Prefecture by a wide river [Edogawa], which is quite different from the new Tokyo city center. A different common people's living area.

In layman's terms, the price here is low, the rent is very cheap, and the transportation is not very convenient, but the crime rate is quite high. Even some wealthy people in New Tokyo think that Edogawa District is the capital area, but they don't know it. Belongs to New Tokyo.

  The shelter for overseas juveniles is located near Koiwa Irisen in Edogawa District, a few streets away from Aragaki Apartment where Higashinohara lived.

  Higashi Nohara and Xia Li rode on the landlord Satoru Aragaki and her own small motorcycle, carrying Nishimaru Miri and Uni, and arrived at the juvenile shelter in a short time.

  It was a small second-floor yard that looked a bit like a nursery school. When Higashinohara and Xia Li parked their cars and knocked on the door, they could hear the noisy sounds of children playing inside from time to time through the gate and the fence.

  The one who opened the door was an aunt wearing work clothes, who looked about fifty years old. She was a little strange when she saw Higashinohara and Xia Li standing outside the door.

  They take in homeless, fatherless and motherless foreign children. Under normal circumstances, few people come to visit, not to mention Higashinohara and Xia Li who can be seen as locals.

  But at this moment, she looked down and saw Youni hiding behind Xia Li, and she was stunned for a moment before she realized it.

   Higashinohara stepped forward to explain the situation to the other party, while Xia Li stared at the other party intently from behind.

  She determined that there might be a problem with this shelter, and she was always ready to act first and then fight after being rejected by the other party.

  But unexpectedly, the shelter did not reject their visit, and their attitude was very kind.

  The elderly aunt quickly led them into the reception room of the shelter, and made tea for them before leaving.

  Xia Li glanced at the tea, hesitated for a moment, picked it up and took a few sips, then suddenly leaned over her head and asked in a low voice, "Dong Ye, is there any medicine in this tea?"

  The corners of Higashinohara's eyes twitched, but he didn't speak.

  Do you still dare to drink if you suspect drug use?

   After a while, the person in charge of the shelter came in.

   It looks like a woman in her thirties, with plain clothes and a very kind appearance.

  When she came over, the children playing in the yard stopped and called her aunt when they saw her, she seemed very popular with the children.

  Xia Li was a little dazed when she saw this.

  In her imagination, the person who came in would be a vicious person who would be difficult to get along with at first sight.

  She with a strong sense of justice must strike hard. After finishing a set of Tianhu Six Forms, it will be no problem to do it again in two, two, three, four.

   But the woman in front of her has a gentle temperament, with a faint feeling of Kolotia, and the children also like her very much, which makes Xia Li a little passive.

   Fortunately, Higashinohara has never preconceived any problem with containment, so there is no surprise at this time.

  After sitting down and saying hello, he asked in detail about when Yoni's sister disappeared this morning, when the shelter found her, and whether Nova has been bullied recently.

  After some inquiries, Higashinohara was silent for a while and asked, "So Nova had a conflict with a girl named Xiya in the shelter two days ago, saying that she will leave here one day?"

The woman sitting opposite gave a helpless wry smile, "Well, many children heard it at the time. Children of this age have relatively strong self-esteem and are prone to conflicts. Although I called them to mediate once after the incident happened, the two little girls They also shook hands and made peace, but I didn't expect Nova to leave the shelter suddenly today."

   Higashinohara glanced at the dazed little boy Youni in the corner from the corner of his eye. He didn't seem to know that his sister Nova had quarreled with someone a few days ago, and his eyes suddenly panicked, like a puppy afraid of being abandoned.

   Higashinohara withdrew his gaze, continued to look at the woman opposite and said, "Then you mean, Nova ran away from home?"

   "I can't promise."

  The woman shook her head, and said in a helpless tone, "It's just that this kind of situation has happened in the shelter before. Some children came back by themselves at night or at most the next morning, but some children... alas."

  She sighed and didn't continue talking.

   Higashinohara looked at the woman's expression, she didn't look like she was lying.

  In fact, if you think about it, their job has to take care of so many children, and they are foreign children with different eating and living habits. It is not easy for so many children to like her.

   Seeing that there was nothing else to ask, Higashinohara nodded, then got up and said, "Excuse me, thank you for taking the time, then we will go first."

  The woman also stood up to see her off, and said that if Higashinohara and the others found news about Nova, they must contact her as soon as possible.

  When going out, Xia Li seemed a little embarrassed because she had been imagining the other party as a vicious villain. She turned her head and bowed solemnly, but she almost bumped into the door frame when she hurriedly turned her head.

  This second-hand product

  The corners of Higashinohara's eyes twitched.

  He sighed and glanced at the children playing on the slide in the yard.

  He suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he was going to ask any child who is "Xia" casually, and find the other party to verify what he just said.

  Ten-year-old children are immature, so it is difficult to lie in front of him.

  Unexpectedly, just as he was going out, Miri Nishimaru who was following behind quietly tugged at the corner of Higashi Nohara's clothes.

   Higashinohara turned his head,

  Looked at Miri Nishimaru with some doubts.

  Nishimaru Miri turned her head and pointed quietly at the woman in the room behind her who cleaned the tea set by herself, and said in a low voice, "Brother, she lied."

   Lied?

how do you know?

   It stands to reason that Higashino should have asked this question.

   But he didn't ask that.

  Because Higashinohara remembered the ability of one of Miri Nishimaru's dual talents.

  Talent Sequence 28 Truth Listening.

   Ask for a ticket at the end of the month~
