Chapter 66 It Was Right to Go Home Early
"Kaito Kid has appeared."
"Then it seems that the movie version will be released soon."
Higashino Ning retracted his gaze and continued to rush back to the Metropolitan Police Department to report to Megure Jusan.
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when he returned to the Metropolitan Police Department.
After listening to his report, Megure Jusan decided to close the case as a natural death.
Because there was really nothing to prove that this incident should be attributed to "homicide".
The body looked like a normal death, and no extra human tissues including fingerprints were found at the scene. There were only Makoto Asuka's fingerprints on the door handles of the main door and the bedroom door.
But this can't prove anything at all, after all, he was the first to discover it.
As for the other suspicious traces, such as "cleanly mopped floor", "a small part of the dead person's fingerprints left on the window after being wiped", etc....in fact, there is no way to treat them as breakthrough points.
Mopping the floor is not against the law, and wiping the window is not against the law.
These are not only what the murderer can do, but also what the dead can do.
Under the premise that the autopsy results clearly indicate natural death, all the less important doubts can only be attributed to the various behaviors that the deceased may have had before his death.
But it is still a bit unwilling to close the case like this.
Tono Ning is not regretful that he missed the reward for a case, but the terrified look of the deceased looking at the bedroom door is impressive.
The sound of paper documents colliding with the desktop rang a few times.
Megure Jusan put the sorted documents on the table, "Brother Tono, let's stop this case. You have worked hard today."
Tono Ning shook his head and smiled reluctantly, "It's all part of my job."
"By the way, you should have exchanged shifts with Brother Takagi today, right?" Megure Jusan stood up and motioned to leave work together, and joked with the older generation, "Don't you have a date tomorrow?"
Dating... It seems that it can be barely considered a date.
Tono Ning took the initiative to open the door, "It's just moving. I discussed with Kudo classmate and decided to rent his house."
This news is quite unexpected.
Megure Jusan opened his eyes wide, "When did Kudo come back?"
"No, we communicated over the phone, he said..."
...
The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the downstairs of the Metropolitan Police Department.
They stood there to end the chat, and then went back to their own homes.
But before going home, Dong Ye Ning had to comfort his stomach.
He had been busy all day and had no chance to eat.
He had called home when he was on duty in the afternoon and said that he would probably not be back early tonight, so he was not in a hurry to go home now.
You can eat casually by yourself.
After a brief hesitation, Dong Ye Ning chose to have a Chinese set meal at the izakaya.
...
It was half past nine that night.
Dong Ye Ning opened the door with a plastic bag in his hand.
Huiyuan Ai, who was bored to the point of being a little crazy, immediately sat up straight and blurted out "You are finally back."
Oops, the need was exposed!
The little loli quickly covered her mouth.
But Dong Ye Ning didn't have as many twists and turns as her.
"Sorry to leave you alone at home."
Hitano Ning changed his shoes and came to the sofa, then tilted his head and stared at Huiyuan Ai.
His sight seemed to have physical properties.
The little girl quietly retreated to the corner of the sofa under his gaze, thinking of various possibilities in her mind.
Perhaps because she felt that her inner drama was a bit too rich, Huiyuan Ai bit her lip, "Why are you staring at me!"
Hitano Ning sat down on the sofa with a light "tsk" and put the bag in his hand on the table.
The bag contained his Chinese set meal and some yakitori skewers.
After all, he chose the latter between dining in and takeout.
Because I always felt that there was an invisible longing pulling him home.
And...I felt a little guilty for letting the little girl continue to be empty-nested.
It turned out that he was right to come back as soon as possible.
Opening the box, the aroma of food gushed out.
Hitano Ning broke the chopsticks apart, whispered "I'm starting", and then started eating.
At this time, Huiyuan Ai came close and poked his shoulder, and then poked his waist.
"Hey, so why were you staring at me like that just now?"
"And wouldn't it be more convenient for you to eat outside?"
Dong Ye Ning was struggling with the fried dumplings, and because he ate a lot, he couldn't speak for a while.
But Huiyuan Ai thought he was deliberately keeping her in suspense.
So the little Lolita made a bold decision.
She squeezed next to Dong Ye Ning, and then put her chin on his shoulder...
The taste of food has lost its dominance at this moment.
The unique smell of the body is the trumpeter who blows the charge.
This is true for both of them.
The novel perspective allows Huiyuan Ai to see more details, such as... Dong Ye Ning's eyes are really bright and energetic.
And the novel touch also allows Dong Ye Ning to feel more emotions, such as... Huiyuan Ai's unconcealable nervousness and shyness.
The shoulders are heavy.
A slight tilt of the head will cause contact.
Dong Ye Ning slowly swallowed the fried dumplings in his mouth.
"I saw you just now because I suddenly felt that you still didn't have enough clothes, so I wanted to buy you some more."
"As for why you didn't choose to eat out..."
He paused.
There was no time to prepare.
The words rushed out.
"Because I think you might be worried about me, or...missing me."
"So it's better to come back early."
The last sentence was said word by word.
The air was quiet.
Huihara Ai's expression froze, and she retracted her head like a robot, standing upright on the ground with a blank look in her eyes.
"Well, I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment with Miss Panda to go to bed now."
She turned around mechanically, with her hands on the seams of her pants.
Whether it was the voice or the tone.
All of them were in a uniform flat tone.
"Good night, see you tomorrow."
"If there is nothing special, don't knock on my door tonight."
"My room door seems a little uncomfortable today."
Huihara Ai began to retreat, kicking and waving like a puppet, and she even turned in the opposite direction.
Dong Ye Ning: "..."
Sister, you are really a bit abstract.
He sighed helplessly, dragged Huihara Ai back to his side, and put the yakitori in front of her at the same time.
"Miss Panda can sleep well by herself. I'll tell her later."
"Mr. Door Panel may have some inflexible joints. I'll help him later."
Dong Ye Ning continued to speak seriously, "I brought it back especially for you. You have to try it anyway, right?"
After that, he stood up, "You eat first, I'll go get some wheat juice."
He wanted to give Huiyuan Ai some space to adjust his mentality.
Tsk, he is really a caring person who is easy to be moved.
When he came out of the kitchen with beer, Huiyuan Ai was gone, and only half of the yakitori skewers were left on the table.
Okay~Since you insist on going back to the room, then go back.
Dong Ye Ning continued to satisfy his appetite.
And Huiyuan Ai was smiling and wiping tears in front of the window sill of her bedroom.
Maybe this seems exaggerated to others.
But for her, being cared for, missed, and all her efforts and misses will be treated well is really touching.
The last person who treated her like this was Miyano Akemi.
Sister, I miss you.
