The Savior of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department

"Read it? Return it to me after reading it."

The action of Atsuto Yamashita taking the document from her hand awakened Koshimizu Nanatsuki who was still immersed in his thoughts. When he came back to his senses, this man had already walked out of the study door with his subordinate Miwako Sato.

She subconsciously glanced at the old man standing with his hands behind him not far away. Although the latter looked tired, he still sent off his favorite student with a smile.

"It's an eventful year...Even Ito Hiba is dead..." After Yamashita Atsuto left, Harada Koki sat down on the desk chair, reached out and opened the lower left three drawers of the desk, and took out several brand new ballpoint pens and pencils Putting it back into the pen holder, he sighed, his tone full of depression.

"Professor Harada, did you have any trouble with this Ito Hiba? Why did Officer Yamashita come to you?"

"No, I'm not very familiar with him. You just heard that Yamashita came to me because he suspected that his death was related to the death of a friend of mine."

Seeing Koshimizu Nanatsuki's tick, Harada Hongyi shook his head, reached out and picked up the only pen in the pen container, held it in his hand and played with it: "Let's talk about my son, Detective Yueshui , where do you think we should find a breakthrough now to save my son?"

"Unreasonableness of the case."

Speaking of business, Koshimizu Nanatsuki temporarily let go of the doubts caused by sensitivity in his heart, and turned to open the documents on the desk: "From the information we have so far, your son Harada Jun is The fact that there is a shortage of funds due to gambling has become a fact, but this is not a point that the police can use as evidence, because there are still unexplainable doubts in this case-1: The deceased died in the airport bathroom, where the flow of people is extremely large place."

Listening, thinking, Harada Hongyi nodded and raised his hand to signal her to continue.

"2: If the deceased Yukimura Emi was really killed by your son Harada Jun, how did he travel between the airport and the company within four to ten minutes."

"The surveillance camera on the road only took pictures of the car, but not the person. This second one won't go to court." Harada Hongyi waved his hand, interrupting Koshimizu Nanatsuki's arrangement.

"So we have to concentrate on finding a breaking point in the dead."

The corner of Koshimizu Nanatsuki's mouth raised, and he confidently put his hand on the photo of Yukimura Emi: "It is unreasonable that the deceased died in the bathroom of the airport. Generally speaking, the murderer will choose an excellent location for safety. and timing, but this murderer chooses to kill in the airport bathroom, why?"

"Because the murderer didn't want the deceased to walk out of the airport alive. In other words, it is very likely that the deceased held some clue to the murderer.

And the reason why the murderer has to do it at the airport regardless of the risk, I think, probably is that Emi Yukimura came to Japan this time to use this trick to achieve a certain purpose.It's still the kind of decision-making, the kind that you can do as soon as you get off the plane. "

On the bright silver Mercedes-Benz coupe, Atsuto Yamashita, who was controlling the steering wheel with one hand, pondered for a while, and expressed his speculation to the subordinate sitting in the co-pilot.

That's why he asked Judy to help check the Las Vegas casino. He suspected that the murderer was caught by Emi Yukimura at that time.

"However, in this way, the case may not be closed." Miwako Sato frowned, feeling very unhappy.

The casino guests in Las Vegas come from all over the world. If the murderer is a foreigner and escapes immediately after killing someone, the Japanese police can only stare blankly.

"This is where the problem lies."

Atsuto Yamashita sighed, and the teacher's old appearance seemed to appear in front of his eyes again: "The current Harada Jun is the one with the most murderous motive from any angle, but because of the conflict of the crime location, With insufficient evidence, the police are unable to convict. Even if they barely convict, the opposing lawyer will definitely insist on this after going to court."

"However, the son of the deceased is the well-known Japanese-born magician Yukimura Genichi. He has a great influence in the world of magic, journalism, and entertainment, and is even hailed as [the next Black Feather Pirate One]. The murderer is definitely Jun Harada." Miwako Sato rubbed her temples, feeling very irritable.

"Yeah, it's difficult." Atsuto Yamashita clicked his tongue unavoidably.

Some methods cannot be used in cases involving celebrities, especially when such international celebrities are involved.

"I'll go see Yukimura Genichi again, and learn more about the deceased's life, preferably in terms of abnormalities, and explain our Metropolitan Police Department's attitude by the way."

"I will go with you."

"You don't need it, go to Takagi with the information given by my teacher. It is very likely that the two cases of Ito Hiba and Fujiwara Kihara will be merged, and his work is more busy. In addition, if Detective Mori is sober, he will You can get him involved."

Atsuto Yamashita drove Miwako Sato back to the Metropolitan Police Department, and after an explanation, he drove back to the villa where Genichi Yukimura was staying.

At the same time, a reception room on the sixth floor of the Rimai TV Building.

Superstar Okino Yoko introduced the process of recording the variety show to the famous high school detective Hattori Heiji who came all the way from Osaka. Toyama and Ye were chatting with Mori Ran and Kasumigaoka Shiwa on the sidelines. Come here to eat vinegar.

"I probably understand the procedure of the show. However, if the content of the case is kept secret, will the participating guests be kept secret? I would like to know who is representing the high school student detective group in the Kanto area to participate in this variety show reasoning show. Is it that stinky and pretending Shinichi Kudo?"

Scratching his chin in boredom, Hattori Heiji took this opportunity to scold people face to face, making Conan, who was still chatting with Haibara Ai on the mobile phone, and asked her to help him take a temporary leave from Teacher Kobayashi, rolled his eyes vaguely.

[You're a stinking fart!Is there any high school student in Japan who farts more than you? ! 】

"We also tried to contact Kudo-kun, but unfortunately he didn't have time. But it doesn't matter, Ms. Mao Lilan will also participate as a representative of the Kanto region, and she will also represent the Kanto region with Baima Tan from Eguda High School .

Due to the itinerary, Mr. Baima will arrive in three days. "

【Um?White Horse Detective? 】

Conan immediately pricked up his ears.

"What about the one representing the north?" Hattori Heiji asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Representing the northern part is Junya Toki, a high school student detective from Hokkaido, and we are in contact with him." Yoko Okino did not hide the candidate for the guest.

Including Hattori Heiji, Hakuba Tan and Tokitsu Junya were all recommended by Atsuto Yamashita.

I thought Yoko Okino thought that the most difficult thing to deal with would be the most famous Hattori Heiji, but I didn't expect him to come directly. Instead, it was Junzai Tokitsu, and it was not very pleasant to contact.

If this person was not recommended by Toshito Yamashita, Yoko Okino would have given up on him.

"I understand, then, happy cooperation, Miss Yoko." Hattori Heiji was still thinking about Kudo Shinichi's recorded DV, winked at Conan vaguely, got up and said cheerfully.

He doesn't believe that Atsuto Yamashita has no other backup, this man always has a plan B, especially when it comes to Kudo Shinichi.

..................................................................

Harada house, the gate.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who lowered the brim of her baseball cap, turned her head and glanced at the house behind her, then left with a stack of documents.Although she still had some doubts in her heart, she still decided to focus all her attention on the deceased Yukimura Emi.

However, just as she turned and walked towards the sidewalk, she clearly saw her employer, Harada Koki, walking out of the door carrying two large bags of garbage through the glass of the shop on the side of the street.

"Take out the trash at this time?" Raising his wrist to glance at the time, Koshimizu Nanatsuki hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't bear it and raised his heels up.

The pen in the study left a deep impression on her, especially after seeing a corpse with scars from the pen in a death report.

Only the study room in the whole house has been cleaned and washed with clean water. The creases and flimsy spots on the pen are like cat's paws, constantly scratching Yueshui Nanatsuki's heart, making her unable to concentrate.

[Wait a minute... This is, that pen? 】

Koshimizu Nanatsuki who was quietly following Harada Hongyi frowned, she saw with her own eyes the old man's reluctance to part with the pen.But even so, he still broke the pen fiercely and threw it out together as garbage, as if he was still muttering something.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who was close behind the bunker, widened her eyes, and her breathing suddenly increased.

Chapter 440 Seven Three Cases In One (5)

Doubts from the previous scenes surged into his heart in an instant, Koshimizu Nanatsuki held his breath, and watched Harada Koki's abnormal movements in the dark through the cover of the wall.

【Could it be that……? 】

Thinking of the dead person Yamashita Atsuto mentioned before, Koshimizu Nanatsuki's heartbeat suddenly started to speed up due to his sensitive detective sense.

Out of the idea of ​​collecting money to relieve disasters for others, she immediately wanted to leave, but the instinct of her body firmly fixed her in place, staring at the back of the old man who had burned all the garbage.

Gasoline in a small bottle, matches that light up at a touch.

The rising flames reddened the serious and wrinkled cheeks of the old man, and the turbid eyes were no longer as clear as before.His dry lips moved, and no one could hear what he said.

Until all the garbage was completely incinerated, Harada Hongyi put on his gloves and paved carefully for a while to make sure nothing was missed.

【What is burning?Cheque?Or a receipt? 】

Thinking of the crumbs of the check or receipt that he found in the study before, Koshimizu Nanatsuki subconsciously narrowed his eyes.While there are thousands of thoughts in my mind, the doubts in my heart are also intensifying.

Ordinary people do not include the service of directly cremating the garbage together with the bag, or find an inaccessible place to burn it.

"sorry."

With a sigh, Harada Hongyi showed melancholy, and the words of apology were no longer concealed.

Full of suspicion, Yueshui Nanatsuki hurriedly hid it, and a few minutes later quietly pulled out of the corner, and the bleak figure of the old man was no longer seen at the end of the street.

【sorry?Who is he saying sorry to?Is this pile of things he burned? 】

Light footsteps sounded one after another, Koshimizu Nanatsuki took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wrapped it around his right hand, and reached into the pile of ashes to look carefully.

Nothing was ever found except the pen, which had been charred to black and useless.All the scraps of paper are integrated with the scorched earth after being burned by the flames, and no useful information can be obtained at all.

At the end of the street corner, Harada Hongyi, who was supposed to have left, showed half of his body sideways, with mixed expressions in his eyes.

"He won't believe it at the bottom of the mountain. It depends on your persistence, Detective Yueshui."

As the teacher of Atsuto Yamashita, he is well aware of the character of his favorite student.Others may be skeptical about calming all this down with his own arrest and imprisonment, but Atsuto Yamashita will never stop there.

He needs a person who can withstand the pressure of the people at the bottom of the mountain at critical moments to fight for reason, so this person must have a high psychological quality.

Nanatsuki Yueshui is this person.

The Lavender Villa murder case in Shikoku Island was solved by this woman. Harada Hongyi believed that she must have realized that her reasoning was wrong, but she still did not admit it in front of the public. Instead, she still insisted on the inference that she told the police before.

Even though the "murderer" who committed suicide in that case was completely innocent, Koshimizu Nanatsuki did not waver for the sake of her own reputation, which is enough to show how strong this woman's psychological quality is.

In fact, if Koshimizu Nanatsuki hadn't revealed that he had solved the case when he came to apply for the job, he might still be worrying about who he should find to identify him as the murderer.

"Huh? What is this?"

Beside the pile of ashes, Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who had thrown the scorched black pen to the side, noticed a cluster of small, inconspicuous flames still burning.

After quickly covering it with a handkerchief and putting it out, she pinched her index finger and thumb, and through the handkerchief, she took out a broken chip that was already blackened.

....................................................................................

"Shiratori, this is the information that Yamashita learned from his teacher. A man named Okawa Ego had a festival with Ito Hiba and Fujiwara Kihara 20 years ago, and the deceased Ito Hiba was forced to quit Tokyo. University, focus on investigating him."

Metropolitan Police Department, Search Section [-] Forcible criminals searched the office area of ​​Section [-].

After stuffing a folder with photos in it to Shiratori, who was still eating breakfast with a sad face on his desk, Miwako Sato tilted her head and asked in doubt, "What's wrong with you? With this expression, what happened to the case?"

"No, I'd rather have some misfortune happen now. At the very least, I can still have a direction of investigation, instead of sitting here helpless." Shiratori Ren Sanlang sighed deeply, resting his chin in one hand, and taking it with the other. handed over folder.

"Why are you alone? Where are Chiba and Takagi?" Miwako Sato, who rolled her eyes, looked around and couldn't help asking curiously when she didn't see the two people who often stayed here.

"Chiba went to find out who the deceased Ito Hiba had contacted with before his death. As for Takagi, he went to accompany Mori detective."

"Accompany Detective Maori?"

"Well, didn't Yamashita catch a private detective who followed the Maori detective for several days before, and Takagi took the Maori detective to the police station after taking notes for him. He just sobered up more than ten minutes ago, and now he probably still I'm taking notes."

Shiratori Ren Saburo was talking, suddenly stunned, and then looked up at Miwako Sato who came to deliver the materials in a strange way: "Where is Yamashita? Why didn't you see him?"

Miwako Sato was responsible for the murder of Emi Yukimura with Yamashita, but now that she is back, Atsuto Yamashita hasn't?

"He went to the children of the deceased to have an in-depth conversation, and asked me to come back and give you the information. In addition, he plans to combine the murder of Fujiwara Kihara and the murder of Ito Hiba for the time being."

"Merge? That's fine. Takagi and I just have the same idea, but we haven't had time to talk to Yamashita." Ren Saburo Shiratori didn't object to this decision.

The two deceased were friends for many years, and 20 years ago because of some unknown incident, they both quit Dongda University. Now that their front and back feet have been killed, it is hard not to connect the deaths of the two.

"However, other than being fatally wounded by a dagger, these two people don't have much in common."

If there are too many common points, then the police can formally join the case for investigation, and can also use this to apply to the higher authorities for more investigation authority.
