Detective's trouble| R. Edogawa

Chapter. 7 : cop and detective

~

the cop woman typed aggressively on her laptop, writing down the reports, her mind was too loud to let her focus 'what does this mean? Many people getting ill...by a candy? Many people ate candy at the same time? But this sounds impossible... Not to mention a kid was selling the candies, a kid can't sell candies to many people at the same time... unless...'

"Speak!!"

Her train of thoughts stopped by her colleague yelling

She titled her head, looking at the direction her colleague yelled, it came from investigation room, she her colleague investigating the kid out of glassy window, but she couldn't exactly hear what he was saying

'how loud he yelled that i heard that from here? Why you yell this loud while investigating a kid?' she thought to herself

The door of the investigation room opened, revealing a cop man walking out, his dirty blonde hair stuck to his forehead die to sweat, he aggressively closed the door.

(Y/n) assumed that by his furious expression, the investigation didn't go well, she walked to the cop "how did it go?" She wanted to hear the details if possible "not good, that kid doesn't talk at all, if this goes like this, we have to look for his parents, otherwise he will stay here until things get clear"

(Y/n) frowned, thinking for a bit, her colleague was right, but was that really a right thing to do? Weren't there any other clues? She thought maybe they're not doing exactly right

Officer Minoura exited his office, taking everyone's attention as he walked towards the (h/c) haired cop woman "did you investigate that kid?" The officer asked "I did" the cop answered shortly "so?" The officer waited for the explanation, but received the cop lowering his head, and the officer took that as an answer

"I see" he sighed "then we have no choice but to let the kid here" officer Minoura stated, (Y/n) frowned at the statement, not because she was feeling pity, because the whole case seemed odd to her

"Wait" she said, taking the attention of officer Minoura and her colleague, she reached for her pocket, pulling out an uncovered candy

Her colleague's eyes widened "that's..!"

"The kid gave me this this morning, and didn't take the money" (Y/n) said sternly, looking at officer Minoura in determination. The middle aged man stayed still, he took the candy from (Y/n) thinking.

"Is that so?" he frowned, the cop woman nodded "I see, then you go investigate the kid"

"Huh?"

She thought she misheard "didn't you hear me? You go investigate that kid" (Y/n) blinked in disbelief, she had no experience in investigating, she didn't know how to start or what questions to ask, although she often imagined doing this when she was about to become a police, she never actually thought about investigating

"B-but sir-!" Her colleague looked at officer Minoura in disbelief, still sweating "She's the only one here who received a candy from that kid and didn't get ill, so it's better if she does the investigation" she thought to herself, that was logical but still

She didn't know if she can do that.

"I bet you'll become one best of a cop"

A familiar voice echoed in her mind, recalling an old event long ago, her (e/c) eyes widened upon recalling what a certain spiky black haired detective told her long ago. Then as if she was given motivation, a wave of determination washed over her
