Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Kamiya Minayuki and Conan entered the small conference room.

Officer Sato put the information in his hand on the table and sighed: "You don't need to look at these information, I also remember the week I spent with that guy. Don't tell Takagi about this."

Conan asked: "Officer Matsuda is a great detective, right?"

Officer Sato nodded and said: "Yes, he is a very arrogant person and his mouth is not forgiving, but..."

As if he remembered something, Officer Sato suddenly lost his voice.

Kamiya Minayuki didn't interrupt. He didn't know Matsuda.

Now he just wants to know who the guy who put the bomb is through Conan, and then let him know what it means to be in trouble.

Conan asked Officer Sato: "If possible, can you talk to me about Officer Matsuda? As we chat, maybe we can remember more details."

Officer Sato pursed his lips and smiled: "That's right."

Officer Sato recounted: “The time when he was transferred to the Search Section 11 was three years ago on November 1, which happened to be the second day of Halloween, so I remember it very clearly.

However, he was transferred suddenly, so the business card was a few days late. When it was delivered to him, it was already the morning of November 11th. The day before was a holiday, so I remembered it. "

Conan looked at the calendar on the table and analyzed: "Officer Matsuda died in the line of duty on November 11, so he only had the opportunity to hand over his business card in the intervening four days."

Officer Sato said: "However, No. 4 was on the inside all day, and No. 5 had an escort mission, running between the detention center and the prison all day. And before he died in the line of duty on No. 7, he had been tracking the serial bombing case. Prisoner."

Conan speculated: "In other words, he has a chance to hand over his business card..."

Officer Sato echoed: "Only November 11th."

Conan raised another question: "But after he finishes working, he should have the opportunity to hand over his business card, right?"

Officer Sato shook his head and said: "That guy didn't return to the dormitory for a week after he arrived in my department. He spent the night in the Metropolitan Police Department. Now that I think about it, he should have been investigating the serial bombing case at the time.

However, I don’t remember anything special that happened during that period. I caught a robber, stopped an out-of-control bus, and persuaded someone who wanted to jump off a building. Those were the only things that happened that morning. In the afternoon, I asked for clues about the case..."

Officer Sato fell into memories.

She remembered that at that time, she and Matsuda Jinpei had just tried to persuade someone who wanted to jump off the building.

Officer Sato, who was driving the car, complained: "You, how can you advise people not to commit suicide? Fortunately, the person was saved in the end. What if someone couldn't bear the blow and jumped? I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. Can you please listen to me?"

Jinpei Matsuda, who was sitting in the passenger seat, kept using his cell phone and did not answer Officer Sato.

Officer Sato asked curiously: "Send an email? You type pretty fast."

Matsuda Jinpei finally spoke at this time: "Well, my fingers are more flexible than ordinary people."

Officer Sato teased: "Isn't it sent to my girlfriend?"

"No, the person who sent it to my best friend is a good friend who can no longer receive my messages."

Officer Sato asked confused: "Why can't I receive it?"

After putting away his cell phone, Matsuda Jinpei said: "Because he died four years ago."

The radio in the car suddenly rang.

'A murder occurred in Yoneka Town 3-chome, and the suspect is absconding on a motorcycle! '

Officer Sato picked up the walkie-talkie and replied: "Understood, start tracking!"

Matsuda Jinpei sighed: "This city is really extraordinary."

...

After briefly describing the events of that day to Conan, Officer Sato continued: "The investigation of the case continued until about 3 p.m. that day, and then we returned to the Sakurada Gate."

Conan asked: "Um, were you and Officer Matsuda working on the case investigation together?"

Officer Sato shook his head and said: "No, they acted separately..."

Suddenly, Officer Sato was startled.

Reminiscent of some parts of that day.

Conan asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

Officer Sato replied: "I remembered that Matsuda had an extra string of rosary beads in his pocket at that time!"

Conan asked: "rosary? By the way, who did Officer Matsuda send the email to whom you just mentioned?"

"It should be his classmate at the same time, Kenji Hagihara, who was in the explosive ordnance disposal class. Seven years ago, he died in a bomb disposal mission."

"When is the death anniversary of Kenji Hagiwara?"

"Same as Matsuda! It's both November 11th!"

Conan then asked: "November 11th is the anniversary of his death, and it is also the day when the bombing criminals received news. Officer Matsuda stayed at the Metropolitan Police Department until the other party sent news, right?"

Officer Sato touched his chin and thought: "In other words, it is impossible for him to visit the grave that day!"

Conan showed a confident smile on his face: "Then it can only be the 6th of the day before!"

Officer Sato remembered: "I remember Hagiwara's tomb, it should be in a temple near Shibuya!"

Officer Sato ran out quickly.

Minato Kamiya leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette before asking: "So, do you think the bomb that injured Uncle Mouri is related to these two dead people?"

Conan nodded: "There are not many clues at the moment. We can only continue to search according to the existing clues. The currently known clue is Matsuda Jinpei's business card on the person who was on fire, so we can only follow this line now. Follow up."

Conan looked through the work diary for November 11th: "The investigation of the case ended at three o'clock in the afternoon. Even if I went to the temple in Shibuya to sweep the grave of my classmate, I didn't come back until after six o'clock in the evening. How to calculate the time spent in between? It’s too long, what happened in these three hours?”

At this time, Officer Chiba came in with a pile of information. He was shocked to see Minayuki Kamiya and Conan: "Why are you here?"

Conan was startled by Officer Chiba's voice.

Kamiya Mingyue frowned slightly.

There are indeed too few clues now, and the only person who knows anything has been burned to death.

Even as a famous detective, he was blind.

Since Officer Sato left in such a hurry, it meant that she remembered something.

When Kamiya Minatsuki saw Officer Sato leaving, he met Officer Takagi.

Kamiya Minazuki curled up her lips, and then she and Conan left the Metropolitan Police Department and went to the hospital to visit Mouri Kogoro.

Officers Sato and Takagi went to Hagiwara Kenji’s cemetery temple in Shibuya.

After hearing Officer Sato's inquiry, the abbot of the temple replied: "Yes, yes, I remember them very clearly. Until a few years ago, four people came together, and they all said they were Mr. Hagiwara. classmates.”
