As long as they found the evidence and put people in prison, whether the culprits confessed or what crimes they were charged with was entirely up to the detectives.
As police officers, especially detectives, they had a degree of justice in their hearts.
If the suspects were innocent people, Juzo Megure might hesitate.
But since the targets were genuine drug traffickers, he had no psychological burden whatsoever. On the contrary, he felt a little excited.
"Thank you, Hoshimiya, my boy."
Juzo Megure stood up enthusiastically. "When we get back to Tokyo, I'll invite you to dinner at my home when you have time."
With that, he eagerly left the interrogation room.
There was no time to waste. With so many detectives present, he genuinely feared that the living drug traffickers might escape or destroy the drugs.
Inspector Megure's consideration was valid, but he didn't know that the Village Chief's secretary had been so exhausted by Reiko Kuroiwa last night that he still hadn't woken up.
Naturally, he had no idea a large police force had arrived on Tsukikage Island, let alone made plans to escape or destroy the drugs.
"Ran, Narumi. Let's go back too."
Hoshimiya Yuu smiled. "Let's pack up our things and hitch a ride back to Tokyo on Inspector Megure's boat this afternoon."
"Mr. Hoshimiya, will it really go that smoothly?"
Asai Narumi was a little worried. She and Ran were smart people. After a quick thought, they understood Hoshimiya Yuu's and Inspector Megure's intentions.
But unlike Ran, Asai Narumi rarely dealt with detectives like Inspector Megure and felt uneasy.
"Narumi-nee, why the formal address again?" Hoshimiya Yuu teased. "I prefer what you called me last night."
Hoshimiya Yuu's focus was completely off the case. Even if Inspector Megure were so incompetent that he missed this opportunity, Asai Narumi would definitely not be found out. At worst, the drug traffickers and that vile woman, Reiko Kuroiwa, would get away with it.
"Uh…"
Asai Narumi's face flushed slightly. She had been caught up in the emotion last night. Now that she had calmed down, she felt ashamed of her behavior.
"Mr. Hoshimiya, this is outside…"
"What about outside? There's no one else here, is there?" Hoshimiya Yuu said deliberately. "Besides, are you planning to keep using formal addresses? Or are you planning to deny everything once you're cleared of suspicion?"
"No, that's not it."
Anxiety clouded her judgment. The usually clever Asai Narumi didn't even notice Hoshimiya Yuu's obvious teasing.
The beautiful doctor hugged Hoshimiya Yuu tightly, her exquisite figure pressed close to his, and anxiously defended herself. "I'm just shy! I really love Hoshimiya brother! As long as I can be with Hoshimiya brother, I'll accept anything!"
"Narumi-nee, Hoshimiya Nii-san is just teasing you…" Ran, watching nearby, couldn't take it anymore and said, covering her forehead.
Only then did Asai Narumi notice the slight upward curl of Hoshimiya Yuu's lips, clearly showing he was enjoying the spectacle.
"Ooh… Hoshimiya brother, you're so naughty…"
In an instant, Asai Narumi's beautiful little face became a bright red apple, fresh and tempting, making one want to take a bite.
Gazing at the mature and sexy doctor looking so cute and alluring, Hoshimiya Yuu's eyes glazed over.
He just wanted to rush back to Tokyo now and immediately lay claim to Asai Narumi.
Forget continuing the teasing, and even the idea of hitching a ride was gone.
"Let's go, let's go! Let's pack now."
Spurred on by his little brother's urgency, Hoshimiya Yuu's decisiveness skyrocketed. He grabbed Ran and Asai Narumi and headed straight for the hotel.
Looking at their retreating backs, the young officer who had been waiting outside the door with a tray for a while called out, "Mr. Hoshimiya, your tea…"
"I don't need it. You drink it yourself." Hoshimiya Yuu didn't look back, pulling the two women forward determinedly.
"But I can't drink all three cups by myself…"
The young officer blinked, his face innocent.
Hoshimiya Yuu ignored him. Asai Narumi was still flushed with embarrassment.
Ran smiled helplessly and turned to give the young officer an apologetic look.
The trio returned to the hotel, packed their luggage, checked out, and rushed to Asai Narumi's house without delay.
After quickly gathering a few changes of clothes, and Asai Narumi saying she didn't want anything else, Hoshimiya Yuu immediately pulled the two women to buy ferry tickets.
Hitching a ride had been completely forgotten.
Who knew how long Juzo Megure would stay? If they were fast, they might leave tonight, but if they were slow, it could take several days.
Hoshimiya Yuu was now so eager that he wanted to fly to Tokyo immediately!
Looking at the impatient Hoshimiya Yuu, Ran couldn't help but shake her head.
Only after spending so much time together did she realize that Hoshimiya Yuu was a lecher—a very impatient one at that.
However, thinking back to the little brother she had intimately measured inch by inch last night, Ran suddenly didn't find Hoshimiya Yuu's behavior strange.
With a little brother that large, his desires would naturally be strong.
The understanding Ran thoughtfully came up with an explanation for Hoshimiya Yuu. Not only that, but she even felt sorry for him.
Hoshimiya Nii-san must constantly be struggling against his body's instincts. How difficult for him!
…
......
At 2 PM, the trio boarded the cruise ship back to Tokyo.
Compared to their arrival, the ship had more passengers.
After the large fire and the consecutive deaths of three people, coupled with the arrival of a large police force, tourists were quickly choosing to leave.
Only a few visitors who hadn't been registered yet and were forcibly detained by the police remained on the island.
Gossip is human nature, but if the situation poses a danger to oneself, most people quickly lose their curiosity.
They won't just lose curiosity; they will actively steer clear.
Hoshimiya Yuu's hasty trio blended into the crowd without attracting any attention.
In comparison, it was Ran's and Asai Narumi's beautiful faces that drew more attention.
Many men wanted to approach and flirt, but seeing the handsome, tall Hoshimiya Yuu beside the two women, they all wisely backed off.
A few thought it was impossible for both women to be Hoshimiya Yuu's girlfriends and were determined to try their luck.
But the words of their friends quickly brought them back to reality.
"Why not? If you had his looks and physique, would you only date one girlfriend?"
Blunt words are often the quickest way to wake people up.
Yes, they thought, if we had Hoshimiya Yuu's looks, forget two; twenty would be more likely!
If they knew about the strength of his little brother, the number might be two hundred, not twenty.
They could only fantasize, while Hoshimiya Yuu genuinely had the chance to realize his ambitions.
After the ordeal with Asai Narumi, which corrected Ran's worldview and unexpectedly almost completed his seduction of her, Hoshimiya Yuu could finally fully unleash his ambitions.
The Detective Conan world is full of beautiful women, but there weren't many women Hoshimiya Yuu truly cared about.
Ran was the first, followed by Ai Haibara.
There was no need to elaborate on the charm of the two main female characters, but more importantly, both Ran and Ai were very capable.
Ran was Hoshimiya Yuu's goddess of fortune and possessed the potential of a phoenix (a powerful, capable female character).
Ai Haibara, however, was the key to completing the APTX4869 antidote and an indispensable part of Hoshimiya Yuu achieving eternal life in this low-magic, almost no-magic world.
Vermouth might also be able to help.
Based on Hoshimiya Yuu's judgment, Vermouth definitely had a talent similar to immortality.
But even if he acquired it, it would only apply to him.
At most, Vermouth could be included.
Eternal life for only two people was far from enough for Hoshimiya Yuu.
He wanted to live happily ever after with all his companions.
Therefore, Ai Haibara was indispensable!
