Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

"Mr. Amuro, the three people you told me to keep an eye on are all dead!"

The four people's faces changed, and Furuya Rei couldn't help but raise his voice: "Dead?!"

"Yes. After receiving your email, I immediately asked someone to complete the handover procedures, and then went to the Metropolitan Police Department to confirm the status of the three people.

“At that time, the three people were still detained in the temporary detention room of the Search Section 1. However, I don’t know if it was because the Search Section 1 was short-handed, but no one took their statements. They were just locked up and left there.

“After confirming it, I immediately went back to the police station to complete the formalities.

"But you know that some troublesome formalities are always unavoidable..."

Yuya Kazami's tone was helpless and he gritted his teeth: "I have been urging the progress of the National Police Agency. I finally got the documents and immediately took them to the Metropolitan Police Department for handover. But when I got there, I found that no one in the Investigation Division was working overtime today. Except for the people on duty, everyone else had already gone home!"

The four people on the phone looked at each other in astonishment.

Everyone had the same idea.

It is said that no one in the search department is working overtime?

This is the biggest anomaly!

Of course, Kazami Yuya couldn't see the strange expressions on the four people's faces and continued talking.

"…But the officer on duty said that he couldn't make the decision on this matter. He needed the confirmation signatures of Officer Megure and Officer Date who was in charge of those three people before he could release them."

When they heard the name Officer Ida, the four of them looked at each other subconsciously.

Yuya Kazami: “…So I had no choice but to call Officer Megure and Officer Date, go to their homes and explain the situation to them one by one and ask for their signatures.

"Inspector Megure spent some time looking over the documents I brought. Officer Date was very happy to hear that he was going to hand over his work to the public security department, and he immediately nodded and signed."

Jianggu Ling:......

If it wasn't for the fact that the squad leader knew Yuya Kazami and that this matter was definitely related to the organization, Furuya Rei would have suspected that Date Kou had a problem in letting him go so casually...

"Anyway, after getting the signature, I will immediately return to the Metropolitan Police Department to complete the handover procedures with the officer on duty."

On the phone, Yuya Kazami became more and more excited.

“But the officer took me to search all the interrogation rooms, meeting rooms and temporary detention rooms of Section 1, but we couldn’t find the three people on the list!

"Finally, I accidentally looked through the records of the temporary detention room and found that the three people were indeed detained here. However, according to the records, at around 5 pm, the three people had been released on bail!"

The working hours of Japanese administrative units are generally from 9 am to 5 pm, but they usually do not work on time, and overtime is commonplace. Departments such as the First Investigation Division are the hardest hit by overtime.

But today, all the members of the Investigation Section 5 left work at o'clock on time.

Then, just before work was over, the three robbers were released on bail...

The four of them looked at each other, their expressions somewhat solemn.

To be granted bail, at least two conditions must be met.

First, the person has not committed a serious crime punishable by death or life imprisonment, and has no criminal record for more than 10 years, and is not a habitual offender.

Second, there is no hidden danger of destroying evidence, and there will be no risk of retaliation against the victim that may pose a risk to his or her personal safety.

The first one can be ignored.

But the second one...

Those three guys were robbing at gunpoint!

How did they pass the judgment that “retaliation against the victim will not pose a risk to personal safety”?

In addition, bail cannot be applied for during the investigation of the case, and applicants are limited to the defendant's lawyer, spouse and immediate family members.

After meeting the above conditions, a bail letter must be submitted to the court for review and confirmation.

Generally speaking, the bail process takes three days. Even for a skilled lawyer, it is basically impossible to complete all the procedures within half a day.

And the monitor...

It is not surprising that this matter fell into Ida Hang's hands.

But he actually left work without finishing the case? This was not his usual style.

When Yuya Kazami went to ask Inspector Megure and the squad leader for signatures, both of them signed, obviously unaware that the prisoner had been released on bail.

So the question is, who let the person go without going through the formalities?

Yuya Kazami continued to speak.

“…I wanted to get mad at first, but then I thought, since the people have been released, there is no point getting angry with them, so I might as well go and catch them back immediately.

"So I immediately organized some people to look for him at the address on the bail form, but the result was..."

Furiya Rei's face was very gloomy.

"But when you found the person, you found that he was already dead?"

“Yes… oh no, to be exact, two dead bodies have been found so far, and one person is still missing.

"But I found obvious signs of a fight and fresh blood in that person's residence. So, although I didn't find the person, I judged that..."

Jinpei Matsuda suddenly made an "attention" gesture to Rei Furuya, and then pointed at his face and hands.

Furiya Ling nodded in understanding and asked, "Those two people who died, did they look particularly young? Was there any noticeable difference in the skin of their hands and arms?"

"Eh? I'll ask someone to confirm it right away. Wait a moment!"

About half a minute later, Kazami Yuya said, "Mr. Amuro, there seems to be nothing abnormal about the hands and arms of the two deceased.

"Both of them are recorded as being in their thirties, but they look... actually older than their actual age?"

Yuya Kazami was a little hesitant, obviously not understanding the reason behind Furuya Rei's question.

That is to say, Yuya Kazami did not see the person who used the beauty essence.

The one in question also disappeared for no apparent reason, just like the woman who was taken away in the ambulance.

Such a rare opportunity was right in front of him, but he missed it!

Fūya Rei clenched his teeth and closed his eyes slightly.

"Mr. Amuro, I will have people continue to search for the whereabouts of the third person..."

"no need."

Fūya Rei's voice was a little dry: "No need to look for him, I think I know where he is."

"Eh?"

"receive……"

He wanted to call it a day, but Kenji Hagiwara suddenly interrupted him.

"Wait, ask him when the prisoner was found dead, or when they started hunting down these three men."

Furiya Rei glanced at him and repeated the question to Kazami Yuya.

"I'll leave the search class and arrange for people to look for the person... It should be around ten o'clock at night."

"you sure?"

"Sure! Because I was busy with this, I didn't have time to eat dinner. I was so hungry that I ran to a nearby convenience store to buy a loaf of bread. When I was in the store, I glanced at the time...

"Oh, I have the receipt! Wait a minute...it's 9:52."

Hagiwara held his head with both hands, muttering to himself with a somewhat vacant look in his eyes.

"I remember that after I came out of the bar with that guy... I got into your taxi... I looked back... that guy... he seemed to have made a phone call at that time..."

Hagiwara Kenji suddenly raised his head and looked at Furuya Rei: "What time did you pick me up?"

Furuya Rei: “…A little after ten o’clock.”

"So, could it be him?

Jiang Guling, Matsuda Zhenping and Zhu Fu Jingguang:! ! !

They deployed people to cause trouble and steal things, steal people from the police station, snatch away the injured and prisoners, and then kill them to silence them...

Is it Fumino Kishida?
