Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

After saying that, Inspector Megure looked at everyone in the room again. He also believed everyone present, especially after hearing the results of Shiratori's investigation.

However, there are some things he still needs to confirm on a routine basis.

"Excuse me, where were you at 10: AM four days ago?"

"The three of us are at school." The first to answer was Suzuki Sonoko. That day was not a day off, so as students, they were naturally at school.

Amuro Toru recalled, "I was working a full-day shift at Poirot that day."

“I’m in the company too.”

Akikawa Sarana calculated her timeline for that day. She happened to be in the company that day and did not go to the organization's base. The intelligence investigation of the cruise ship had just ended, so she was slacking off in the company.

Among those who were asked about their alibis, except for Mouri Ran and Amuro Toru, everyone else was a little confused as to why Inspector Megure was asking about what happened four days ago. Sera Masumi calculated the time in her mind and thought about the reports in the newspaper. She felt like she had guessed which case Inspector Megure was asking about.

"Inspector Megure, does this mean it's the same murderer?" Kogoro Mouri finally asked.

Inspector Megure shook his head. He didn't say anything, but everyone could guess what he meant from his expression. It turned out that we still had to look at his alibi this time.

However, regarding this point, all the suspects were in a completely relaxed state. They were not nervous at all and had even begun to reason about the case.

"Inspector, I think based on the traces, it's likely that the perpetrator was an acquaintance. After all, strangers wouldn't appear in this kind of situation..."

Hase in the room was still thinking about how to prevent Kogoro Mori from participating in the case, but his usual task was to accompany Shintaro Kikuchi in eating, drinking and having fun, and he had long since stopped using his brain.

He thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with any reasonable reason, so he simply decided to use his power to suppress others as he did in the past and directly reject Kogoro Mori with his power.

After figuring this out, he looked at Maori Kogoro who was reasoning, "Mr. Officer, until these people are cleared of suspicion, Maori Detective should not be able to participate in the investigation of the case."

As soon as he said this, he interrupted Kogoro Mori who had not yet finished speaking. Because of his words, the people at the scene had different expressions and looked at Hase who was speaking with a strange look.

As things have developed to this point, the alibis of everyone who had a "conflict" with the deceased yesterday have been very easy to verify, and basically everyone has been cleared of suspicion.

The most important thing is that the most suspicious people are not the ones present.

So Mr. Hase still used this reason to refuse a famous detective from participating, and also said these words, which makes people have to doubt him.

"Wait, why are you all looking at me like that?"

Hase subconsciously took a step back, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"I say, could it be that you are the murderer?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at Hase suspiciously. This man looked really suspicious.

Before he could say anything, Officer Megure denied Suzuki Sonoko's guess, "Mr. Hase's alibi has been confirmed."

Otherwise they wouldn't have let Mr. Hase go with them to identify the person.

But...Inspector Megure took another look at Hase, who looked strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside. Just as Miss Suzuki said, Mr. Hase was indeed a little suspicious.

Hase had no idea what Inspector Megure, who helped him confirm his alibi, was thinking.

Just as the police said, he had an alibi. Before the congressman's secretary came back, he was a relative of the deceased and had every reason to ask the police to refuse the detective's participation.

Hase, who didn't know yet that his so-called Mr. Congressman was now in complete trouble, felt that he was fine again.

He glanced at the people in the room with a haughty look, and then said, "After all, our young master is the only son of the congressman. Officer Megure, in order to prevent the young master's death from having a negative impact on the congressman, I request that this case can only be solved by you police, and no one outside the police is allowed to participate in the investigation of the case.

Also, the police must keep the scene confidential. Come to think of it, can't your police force really only rely on detectives to solve the case?"

Isn't it too late to say this now? When several people heard him ask for the scene to be kept secret, they couldn't help but complain in their hearts at the same time.

Except for Xiaolan and the other minors, everyone else has seen the body. Even Conan, who was driven outside at the beginning, has seen the scene.

Akikawa Sarana glanced at Amuro Toru and saw that he was obviously in deep thought. [Someone must be having a headache right now. The entry point he found is dead. What should he do next? ]

[Host, do you know what Toru Amuro is investigating? ]

[I don’t know, but it’s definitely related to the organization.]

Akikawa Sarana moved her eyes away from Amuro Toru and looked at the young detective who was staring at the bloodstains in the room in deep thought and had not spoken for a long time.

Retracting her gaze, she continued to say to Tongzi in her heart, "Among the people on board this time, there are chaebols and individuals who have conducted transactions with the organization in the past three years. Several of them had their accounts done by me, and even some of the fund movements were done by me.

I deliberately left a not-so-easy-to-detect clue with those things for the police. If they came for those people, it means they found the clue I left.

No, he should be coming for those few people. 】

Akikawa Sarana looked up at Amuro Toru again and found that he had returned to his normal self. He even noticed her gaze and smiled at her.

Knowing that he should have figured out the next solution to the problem, Akikawa Sarana stopped looking at him and continued to stare at the floor with her eyes downcast. [If I had known that they had already found out, I would not have let you, Touko, report the Kikuchi family. Now you have actually done something that backfired...

But... we are reporting bribery, so it shouldn't be considered as causing trouble for the police. 】

Akikawa Sarana felt a little guilty. She was dissatisfied with the police because she saw that they had not taken any action yet. After all, it had been three years since she released the first clue, and the police had not taken any action yet.

That's why she picked a person who had nothing to do with the organization but who could be traced back to Congressman Kikuchi through clues. The public security would definitely notice this kind of case, and even if the public security didn't notice it, she could do something else.

Who would have thought that the police had already found these people.

[I think... it shouldn't count.] Seeing that even its own host was unsure, the system became even more uncertain.

[Forget it, the clues have been given to them anyway, so it’s up to them to decide what to do.] Akikawa Sarana decided not to embarrass herself and Tomoko. If this kind of thing would affect them, then she would rather not cooperate with them in the future.

(Toruko & Jingguang: We didn’t, we didn’t, we just found out about it, how about you hide the clues a little more shallowly next time?)
