The man in Conan is the mastermind behind the scenes

"Originally random scratches were wiped by someone's feet, but there were no knife marks. This kind of behavior, similar to stepping on cigarette butts, is usually done subconsciously when leaving. It is unlikely that he will give it here again after his behavior pattern changes. Come and get a knife."

Kudo Shinichi stood up and looked around. His vision was blocked on three sides, except for a corner of the endless ocean.

His eyes were bright: "Hiding in a place like this, distracted, most likely waiting for someone, feeling uneasy, but not smoking... Officer Megure, does Mr. Itahara smoke?"

Memu Shisan immediately called Miss Jiumei and got the answer:

Don’t smoke!

And there is also the most critical evidence. The several surveillance pictures clearly show that there is a long strip-shaped object wrapped in clothes sandwiched in Itara's creaking nest.

Now it seems that it is definitely a samurai sword!

"The person Mr. Itahara is waiting for here is most likely the mastermind behind the scenes." Kudo Shinichi walked to the open space and looked around carefully. "If the traces here are not only caused by gangsters, then did the two of them fight?"

"Brother Kudo!"

Next to an old oil drum made of solidified cement, Mu Mu Shisan suddenly looked at the ground and made a sound of surprise.

"There's blood here!"

Chapter 66: Hotaru Suigetsu in Kudo’s new eyes

The blood has been left to dry for several days, making it difficult to detect useful biological information.

Moreover, the police didn't even find a target who was suspected to be behind the scenes. Even if they detected something, they couldn't compare it. In fact, the excitement of Mu Mu Shisan was unnecessary.

Kudo Shinichi walked to the oil drum and carefully observed the blood stains. In the humid sea breeze, he suddenly smelled a faint rotten smell.

Although the smell disappeared with the wind in the next second, Kudo Shinichi was very confident in his sense of smell, but after a brief judgment in his mind, his eyes changed.

That's corpse odor!

There was nothing around, and the target was very clear. Kudo Shinichi looked at the oil drum beside him, asked Megure Thirteen to stay away, covered his mouth and nose, and opened the lid of the big pot with one move.

The wind stirred up, and an indescribable stench instantly roared up, dyeing the sea breeze a dark green color.

"yue~~!!!"

Even though Mumu Shisan avoided this wave of biochemical attacks at a distance, he was retching. Kudo Shinichi held his breath completely, and his vision felt a little blurry. He quickly glanced at the scene inside the oil drum and put the lid back.

"Brother Kudo, that is..."

"Yes, but not sure who it is."

After running a few steps away and taking a few breaths of fresh air to cleanse his lungs, Kudo Shinichi gave a summary of what he saw:

Perhaps because the cement was not deep enough, half of the face was exposed. It was highly corrupted and the original appearance could not be seen at all. There were two faint arc-shaped dark white cartilages on both sides. The flesh and blood had been rotten. There was a pool of yellow bubbles in front of the face. In the center is half of the katana hilt.

"Samurai sword?!"

Megure Thirteen's eyelids trembled: "Could it be that Mr. Itahara was killed in a counterattack?"

"It's impossible to be sure. Let's let the scientific search department do the testing. Mr. Itahara had a daughter. The identity of the deceased can be determined through DNA comparison between them."

Kudo Shinichi sighed softly: "We came here hoping to find Mr. Itahara who is still alive, or if he has left any message. Now it seems that the possibility is unlikely."

He was actually leaning towards that person being Itahara.

Mumu Shisan was silent for a few breaths:

"Even if there is no harvest here, in order to lure us here, Cedar Kiyoko exposed the person she used in Tsuburaya Town. As long as he can be caught, it will be fine. And if the mastermind behind the scenes has been acting alone, through surveillance footage from various places By contrast, we can narrow down the scope of suspicion but not necessarily.”

Kudo Shin nodded: "Do you have a general goal?"

"There are people who appear repeatedly in Shibuya, Ginza, Tsuburaya Town, and here, but either the time does not match, or there is no trace of Cedar Kiyoko in the social relationship, and there is no motive for the crime, so it is basically impossible to determine."

Megure Thirteen paused: "Brother Kudo, one of your classmates appears here."

"classmate?"

Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized:

"It's Suiyue, he shouldn't be the mastermind behind the scenes. At noon on the day of Masato Cedar's death, I was playing football on the playground, and he was in the stands not far away. He seemed to have left for about fifteen minutes because of stomach discomfort, but I went I even talked to him in the bathroom.

If you think about it carefully, it's possible that he left his cell phone to answer me from across the cubicle and used me to create an alibi for him.

But that meant that he needed to rush back and forth from Didan High School to Mihua Central Park in a short period of time. The crime scene was deep in the park and there was no way to borrow a vehicle to pass through.

Although he seems to be learning karate from Xiaolan recently, he still can't do it with his physical strength.

I know that the relationship between Suigetsu and Cedar Kiyoko as neighbors is very interesting, but judging from their respective personalities...

People who are familiar with Cedar Kiyoko don’t know that she actually hangs out in various nightclubs at night;

People who are familiar with Suigetsu don’t know that he is actually very famous in Shinjuku Kabukicho;

Their classmates, including me, all think that they are very cold types based on their daily performance. This kind of people... Well, probably due to some psychological factors, they face people in their daily life. Sometimes, he will be quite restrained. "

Shame.

Rabbits don't eat grass near their nests.

Separate day and night life.

During the day, he talks about the new quarter's business plan to shareholders in a suit and tie, and at night he puts on a rubber coat and goes to a gay club to dance. This kind of thing, which at first glance looks like a split personality, is all too common in Japan, a repressive society.

The status of Ying Sheng and Qing Zi...

In everyone's opinion, this is probably the case.

Kudo Shinichi continued: "And the mastermind behind the scenes is very professional. Suigetsu... To be honest, I don't have much contact with him. I'm not sure whether he can do this, but I think it's unlikely. that is.

And killing people for their neighbors...

Now that Cedar Kiyoko has moved away, they should no longer be considered neighbors.

If they were just covering up, this possibility was not impossible, but compared to the men that Cedar Kiyoko had had close contact with, the possibility that Suigetsu was leading all of this was extremely low.

In the end, everything still depends on the evidence. "

Kudo Shinichi's series of words directly controlled Megure Thirteen in place, and he couldn't help scratching his head.

My brother really had a lot on his mind, and he never thought of doubting Shuiyue Yingsheng.

Neighbors, can this be considered an intimate relationship?

A one-family household with a full-time wife may have some interactions on weekdays;

However, in high-end modern apartments like Ian Apartments, residents tend to be more urban and atomistic in their ideas. Except when new residents first move in, they may come to their door and give them a souvenir of no more than 1,000 yen. Aren't we always meeting each other but not knowing each other?

Not to mention that both Xuedong Qingzi's parents are abnormal, Suigetsu Yingsheng...

hiss!

Mumu Shisan suddenly remembered, had the police called out the police several times because of him before?

Mania? Or depression?

In short, the kid didn't seem to be in a very good state of mind before, and his parents had a very cold attitude toward the police. He seemed to be a researcher at some biological institute. He was wearing a cold white coat. At first glance, he didn't look like the kind of person who was good at interpersonal relationships. type.

Megure Thirteen said this to Kudo Shinichi one by one. When Kudo Shinichi compared it with what Yingyu said at Shibuya Mamaku Izakaya yesterday afternoon, he felt more and more:

It's not easy for Shuiyue to grow so big.

This also made Kudo Shinichi confirm his guess that there is unlikely to be a connection between Suigetsu and Cedar Kiyoko.

After all, Suigetsu had tried to commit suicide before, so it was unlikely that there was such a caring person as Seiko Kiyoko in the world. After his suicide attempt, his temperament changed drastically, and he went to Shinjuku Kabukicho and wandered for a day and a night...

Alas, he was actually in pain.

Fortunately, his personality changed after that. It was probably the feeling of dying that made him realize the value of life.

And his parents happened to be on a business trip again.

And Xiaolan has always cared about him...

Chapter 67 This is weakness attack!

Although the last point may sound a bit strange, Kudo Shinichi actually admires Xiaolan's kindness in caring about classmates with psychological problems.

Yesterday at noon, he gritted his teeth and did not go to the research institute. In addition to being concerned about the case, there was also this factor.

In the end, it was discovered that Suigetsu was actually bringing him and Xiaolan together, which made Kudo Shinichi sigh. If it were not for family factors, Suigetsu would definitely become a very cheerful person.

But it's not too late now, Shuiyue has changed, and they will definitely become good friends.

"What I just wanted to say was."

Mumu Shisan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "That classmate of yours, almost every time he appears on the surveillance screen, he is followed by a different woman. He is not a high school classmate, he is... Adult women.”

He shook his head: "But Brother Kudo, you just said that he is very famous in Kabukicho, Shinjuku. Alas, I was hesitant to tell you such irrelevant things before, but it turns out that I already knew it."

"..."

As soon as he mentioned this, Kudo Shinichi's face became weird. He struggled for a few seconds, and rarely showed the distressed look of an adolescent boy.

"It's something I'd rather I didn't know about."

Mu Mu Shisan's eyes lit up, "Is there a melon?" !

He immediately glanced curiously and declared in advance that he was doing this out of the importance of intelligence collection as an old detective, and it was definitely not gossip, absolutely!

Kudo Shinichi sighed: "It was a member of the football club. His mother hid Suigetsu's photo in her wallet. After his father found out, he had a big fight. He confided in me and hoped that I would find that person. Help him resolve family conflicts.

I took the photo and took a look...Oh, that's it. "

"…………"

After hearing this, Mumu Shisan also looked weird. This kind of thing... well, it is a very powerful social experience material.

"alright."

Kudo Shinichi shook his head and got rid of these distracting thoughts. After chatting for so long, he finally relaxed his brain and got down to business.

"Officer Megure, ask Officer Sato if they have noticed anything. Although Kiyoko Cedar was forced into a corner and threw it here as bait, there is a high probability that it is just tasteless chicken ribs. We still rush to Tsuburaya Town to assist them. People."

Megure Thirteen nodded and took out his cell phone, but before he could dial the number, Sato's call came in.

Connected.

"Police department, there is a Yakuza who was filling people with cement at the beach. After I found him, he threw his body into the sea. I am chasing him now, and the target is the due north exit!"

Sato Miwako's voice was very urgent, and there was a strong wind whistling, so she was obviously running at high speed.

"Stop! Otherwise I will shoot!"

Miwako Sato shouted loudly on the other side of the phone, but the person on the other end was obviously indifferent, and the gunfire never sounded, not even when Megure Thirteen met her.

"He was very fast and seemed to be very familiar with this place. After a few turns, I lost track of him."

Sato Miwako said annoyed.

Mumu Shisan sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it."

He asked about the other person's appearance and felt even more helpless.

He was wearing a black suit with no clear features and a white fox mask on his face. Since the other party came here to dump the body in the middle of the day, he must not have known that there were policemen here. He was still wearing a mask at all times. At first glance, he looked like the kind of extremely vicious guy who was most careful about hiding his identity among the Yakuza.

There is no way to conduct a wanted search.

"I will have people come over to recover the body now. It has just entered the sea, so it shouldn't be difficult." Megure Thirteen looked at Kudo Shinichi, "Brother Kudo, do you want to see this person here before talking, or do you want to go to Tsuburaya Town first? "

Kudo Shinichi pondered: "Do you think this has something to do with the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"this……"

Megure Thirteen and Sato Miwako looked at each other and felt that he was thinking too much.

The unscrupulous Yida dumped the body in the middle of the day and met the police by chance. No matter how you look at it, it was just an accident.

Judging from past cases, Kudo Shinichi actually feels that the mastermind behind the scenes is the type of wise man who strategizes, rather than a brainless person who would resort to direct violence.

But he always felt that things were too coincidental.

If this matter is related to the mastermind behind the scenes, what is his purpose?

Inducing and strengthening the police's understanding, making them think that dumping corpses here is very common. The oil drum they saw before may not necessarily be the homeless Itawara?

or……
