Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 218 Different Protection (Return vs. Furuya Rei)

The sirens sounded rapidly.

Some onlookers had already gathered around, whispering to each other.

"Is the evidence collection at the scene ready?"

Akai Nima asked after putting on his shoe covers.

"Of course."

Ye Jiusheng replied: "A wallet was found at the feet of the body, and there was a driver's license in it."

The body was found in the area surrounded by a blue shed.

The man was seen hanging in the air, as if he had committed suicide by hanging himself.

"This is murder."

After just one glance, Akai Nima made the conclusion.

"Eh?" Ye Jiusheng was a little surprised, "But there is also the possibility of suicide."

"Didn't you see that man's neck? There's a red line on it. That's the Yoshikawa Line."

Yoshikawa Line: Refers to a murder case where scratch marks can be seen on the victim's neck.

"Yoshikawa Line?" Ye Jiusheng showed a puzzled expression after hearing this.

No wonder.

Although I started to learn on the spot early, I still don't know some professional terms in the police field.

"Show me your driver's license." Akai Nima said.

"Yes."

Just after Akai Nima took it, a male voice sounded behind him, as if saying "thank you for your hard work" to them.

Looking back.

It turned out to be the head of the Investigation Division 1 - Kyoda.

I didn't expect that he would come in person.

Section Chief Kyōda told them, "The victim's identity has been found out. He was a former detective from the Metropolitan Police Department."

The victim was named Ikema Itsuki, 55 years old.

According to the results of the autopsy and on-site inspection conducted by the Forensic Science Division, this case may have been a premeditated murder.

Before his death, the victim worked in the Security Section of the General Affairs Department of Obi Apartments.

Three years ago, he served in the Special Squad of the Investigation Division 1 and retired early with the rank of Superintendent.

The estimated time of death was between 3 and 5 in the morning.

No suspicious marks were found on the wallet left at the scene.

Chi Jianshu has the habit of jogging every morning.

The criminals may have investigated the victim's living habits in advance and then ambushed him.

"Next, please ask the Xinshan police officer in charge of the scene to talk about the on-site evidence collection."

"Yes."

The Xinshan police officer stood up and said, "The criminal strangled the victim from behind when he was not paying attention, and then disguised it as suicide by hanging."

"Now, we are conducting a search based on the list of people the victim had previously arrested and the disputes he had resolved in Obi's apartment."

The video evidence collection team is responsible for collecting and analyzing nearby surveillance videos and conducting field visits to collect evidence.

The local police squad is responsible for thoroughly investigating the victim's interpersonal relationships since his police career.

After Section Chief Kyōda finished assigning tasks, he stood up again and said, "I believe that some of you have worked with him before. I hope you can bet on the prestige of the Metropolitan Police Department and find out the truth."

"Yes!"

After the meeting, only Akai Nima remained in his position.

"Um, Akai Police Department."

Hearing someone calling him, Akai Nima naturally looked up at the person who came.

"I'm Yaku from the Metropolitan Police Department, working on the case with you."

"It's you." Akai Nima said lightly.

"I will try my best not to hold you back!"

After saying that, Ye Jiusheng bowed to him, hidden in his excitement and excitement.

"It's too loud."

Akai Nima said, rubbing his ears, then stood up and went to the small whiteboard.

"Hug, sorry."

When Ye Jiusheng stood up, he found that the other party had moved to another position.

He quickly chased after her, took out a pen and a notebook from his pocket, and asked, "How do you know it was murder?"

Akai Nima stopped and turned to look at him.

"You just mentioned the Yoshikawa Line at the scene." Ye Jiusheng reminded.

Akai finally understood.

"There are many differences between suicide and fake suicide. This red line on the neck is one of them," he explained.

As he spoke, he pointed to the photo.

Generally speaking, if someone commits suicide by hanging, they are mentally prepared, so they will not grab their neck.

"However, if this person wants to escape from the rope of the murderous gloves..."

As he said that, Akai Nima reached out and loosened the other person's tie.

"Or, if they are struggling in pain, they will pull the rope with their hands."

After pulling the tie to the collar, Akai Nima forced the other person to turn his back to him and then pulled him back with force.

Ye Jiusheng felt uncomfortable, as if he was about to suffocate. He subconsciously reached out and pulled at his tie, wanting to get more air to breathe.

Akai Nima quickly let go.

After all, he had no intention of killing the other person.

Ye Jiusheng couldn't help but cough a few times, and actually felt a kind of joy of surviving a disaster.

Then, Akai Nima grabbed his right hand and said, "There are skin scraps left between the victim's fingernails from the struggle, and there are also several marks left on the ground from the struggle."

Ye Jiusheng suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

"What do you mean? Since this isn't your first time at a scene, aren't you familiar with even the most basic investigative work?"

After saying that, Akai Nima walked out the door.

On the rooftop.

There are only Akai Nima and Section Chief Kyoda.

"His way of resigning seems unusual."

"Mr. Ikema? Didn't you resign voluntarily?" Akai Nima was a little confused.

But what Section Chief Kyoda said just now undoubtedly made people feel that there was another hidden story.

"It says on my resume that I resigned on my own will. But in reality, it was almost a punitive dismissal."

The specific circumstances are unclear.

But the reason is said to be that he had contact with a weekly reporter and was discovered by the inspector of the personnel department.

"Weekly? Leaking information to the magazine?"

"do not know."

Section Chief Kyōda folded his hands, stared into the distance and said, "But Ikema is an excellent police officer. Although he knew that it was forbidden to have contact with reporters, he still took the risk to conduct a certain investigation."

"Even if it's for Ikema's sake, the criminal must be brought to justice."

After saying that, Section Chief Kyōda looked at him and said solemnly, "We must find out the truth."

Does the truth really matter?

At least for the living, yes.

It's better than dying in confusion without even having the chance to say "why".

"Yes."

Akai Nima said.

"Before becoming a policeman, Ikema's life was taken away by an inhuman criminal. Therefore, he always puts human life first."

This is the same as Conan.

Believe that life is paramount.

"The mission of the police is to protect people's lives from crime."

Section Chief Kyoda continued speaking, and then asked, "Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Inside the Metropolitan Police Department.

The head of the Public Security General Affairs Division of the Ministry of Public Security, Someno Yukihiro, was looking through the documents.

"Click——"

Someone opened the door and walked in.

Someno Yukihiro stood up, walked towards the man, and handed him the information.

"Can you check this case for me?"

After taking it with both hands, Yuya Kazami turned to the first page.

It is obvious that the above is the file information of a certain criminal police officer.

"I heard it's been classified as murder. If it was just a simple murder, it would be fine, but if there are comments that are unfavorable to the police, it will be bad, right?"

Feng Jianyu didn't say anything either, but just looked at the information carefully.

In the column of reason for leaving, it says: voluntary resignation.

"We need to get the information faster than the Criminal Division."

Yuya Kazami could only close the folder.

"If there is evidence that is unfavorable to us, don't hand the criminal over to the Criminal Department. Let this case remain a mystery."

Having said that, Someno Yukihiro returned to his seat.

"We, the public security, have the obligation to protect the country. If the police lose their credibility, it means that Japan loses its credibility. Solving a boring murder case or telling people about something that is not good for the police, which one do you think is more in the interests of Japan?"

The mission of the public security is to protect the country.

"I see."

Yuya Kazami said as he placed the folder on the table.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the other party suddenly called him.

"But are you okay?"

After Someno Yukihiro finished speaking, he picked up a piece of paper from the side and said, "This is the list of members of the investigation headquarters. There is a difficult person on it."

When I arrived at the underground garage and was about to drive away, I saw a woman.

She leaned against the stone pillar, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

After hearing the "beep" sound from the vehicle next to her, she looked at the person who was coming.

"You are Mr. Akai, right?"

"you are?"

Akai Nima looked at her warily.

"Regarding Mr. Ikema's case, it seems to be a grudge murder, right?"

“I refuse to be interviewed.”

As he said that, Akai Nima reached out to open the car door, but was pushed back by the other party.

Undoubtedly, this is a tall woman with a strong aura.

She looked at Akai Nima and said, "Mr. Ikema was in the special class back then, in charge of corporate investigations. He was an excellent negotiator who was loyal to his duties."

"I think the most likely reason for his death was hatred."

Just like the previous Ikema tree.

This woman is also a member of the special class, her name is Shiko Hizuki.

"Please let me help you."

After showing his ID, Shigu Riyue explained the purpose of his visit.

"He is a senior whom I respect very much. I want to avenge Mr. Ikema."

Akai Nima did not immediately agree to the other party's request, but just stared at her.

It seems that he is thinking about something.

"Mr. Akai——"

At this time, Ye Jiusheng suddenly appeared in the underground garage, as if he had come specifically to find him.

After seeing Akai Nima, he ran over immediately.

While running, he said, "I have been waiting for you, don't leave without permission."

"I see."

After saying that, Akai Nima handed him the car keys.

Ye Jiusheng reacted quickly and understood what the other party meant.

Akai Nima got on the front car and glanced towards where Shigu Riyue was standing.

She seemed to understand that the other party had acquiesced to her request.

"Thank you."

Shigu Sun and Moon bowed to him.

It's not hard to hear her joy from her tone.

"Let's go."

Having said that, Akai Nima got into the car.

They are now going to the General Affairs Department's Security Section at Obi Apartment to inquire about clues regarding Ikema Itsuki.

At the same time, inside the Metropolitan Police Department.

The Chief of the Public Security General Affairs Division of the Metropolitan Police Department met with the Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department, Sugino Shunji.

The meeting place was naturally in Sugino Shunji's office.

"What's the current situation of the case involving the criminal police?"

Having said that, Sugino Shunji stood up and sat down on the sofa.

Someno Yukihiro replied, "I have given instructions to obtain information faster than the Criminal Division."

"Then please."

Sugino Shunji said: "If the news that the Criminal Division is detrimental to the organization is known to the outside world, it will be troublesome."

"Please don't worry."

Someno Yukihiro said this and turned to face the other party.

"I will save your face for you, the deputy director, and make sure you have a smooth term. It would be great if you can become the next superintendent."
