"I want to quit."
"Why?"
Why? What else could it be? Of course, he was afraid that once this person was exposed, he'd become the prime suspect and end up being punched to death on the road to the afterlife by some dark-skinned Public Security officer seeking revenge for his childhood friend!

Matsumoto Sorashima swallowed back the screams and curses welling up inside him, and said meekly,
"Sorry, Morofushi-kun. I got up too early and I'm still half asleep. Please forget everything I just said."

What a waste of all those years spent following Detective Conan :)
