Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 223: Getting Closer to the Truth (Return vs. Furuya Rei)

"excuse me."

The moment the man opened the door and walked in, the three people present all stood up and saluted.

The person who came was none other than the Director of the Criminal Bureau, Qinghai Kawancixian.

"I heard that the people in the Ministry of Public Security seemed very proud."

After sitting down, Qinghaichuancixian said: "You should form a special investigation team to conduct a secret internal investigation. I will give you full support."

Seeing this, Shigu Riyue said, "If possible, please give us permission to use the old special class branch. There, we don't have to worry about the police showing up."

"So it turns out that permission was not obtained," Ye Jiusheng muttered softly.

Qing Haichuancixian said to her: "I will talk to you later."

Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't let those people from the Ministry of Public Security succeed."

"The memory card was taken away, and the data cannot be retrieved. We were completely manipulated by the Criminal Division!"

Sugino Shunji was a little angry that he was tricked like this.

"I'm really sorry. I'll take the next step immediately."

"Of course!"

They both stopped at the same time.

Sugino Shunji turned and looked at him, "No matter what, we must stop them. We must not lose to the Criminal Division!"

Just as he finished speaking, a male voice came from not far away, sounding a bit proud.

"Sugino, what are you doing so loud?"

Looking at the person coming, Sugino Shunji smiled awkwardly and said perfunctorily: "Teach me a lesson."

After saying that, he walked towards the other party.

As he walked, he said, "You have so many outstanding people under you. I am so envious of you."

It sounds like a compliment to the other person.

"Should I be the one to say this?"

Qinghaichuancixian smiled and said, "However, the Ministry of Public Security's great power is a thing of the past. Now, it has become an outdated organization that is useless and only knows how to collect information."

"There are people who say whatever they want. It's really rude."

It was like what I just said was not my original intention, I was just acting as a narrator.

They are all old hands, how could Sugino Shunji not understand what he meant?
"People who make wrong judgments are everywhere."

He looked at the other person and continued, "As an excellent police officer, it is really superficial to arrest a criminal but then hastily close the case without even investigating his relationship with the case."

As if to hit back at the other party, he added at the end, saying that he was just talking casually.

Qinghai Kawaiji Xian laughed.

"Please be careful not to let those bad words come true."

After saying this, he bowed slightly and said goodbye, preparing to leave.

"So do the police officers."

"Thank you for reminding me."

After bowing again, Qinghai Kawaiji Gen finally left the hall.

"Akai Police Department."

Shigu Riyue walked out of the small room holding Ikema Shu's computer.

"The reason why Ikema's computer can't be turned on is because the hard drive has been taken away. I think Ikema took it away just in case."

It turned out to be the case.

Akai Nima nodded to show that he understood.

"But look here."

Shigu Riyue said this and turned the computer over.

"The storage area of ​​the hard drive where someone wants to pry it open is where this screw is."

She pointed and said, "The manufacturer of this computer used a special small lock to protect the hard drive. Someone without the key forced it open to confirm whether there was a hard drive."

"Who is it?" Akai Nima asked directly.

"I checked the fingerprints on the computer."

After that, Shigu Riyue stood up, walked to the computer, pointed at the screen and said, "There are three people's fingerprints. One is Officer Ikema, one is Inspector Akai, and the other is..."

She tapped the keyboard, and the third fingerprint was quickly compared with the database.

"There's a match in the personnel database. Do you know him?"

Shigu Riyue raised his head and looked at the person beside him.

How could he not recognize him?

Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Department——

Kazami Yuya.

At this time, in the office of the head of the Public Security General Affairs Section.

"Akai and the others have been staying in the old special class branch in Dorayaki-cho. It's impossible for them to take out the memory card."

As he spoke, Yuya Kazami placed the folder on the table.

"But there is another way to find out the contents of the card. That is to ask the murderers of Ikema and Mizunai."

Someno Yukihiro looked at the information in his hand and said without raising his head: "Then do you know who the murderer is?"

"I reviewed all the search data so far. I found an interesting person in the data of the secret photo of Akai at Taiping Mountain."

After saying that, Feng Jianyuya placed the photo in the envelope on the other person's desk.

The first two pictures are of Akai Nima and Yakusho.

The third photo shows a middle-aged man wearing a beret.

This person is Akibari Mu.

"I think he wants the memory card just like us."

Someno Yukihiro said nothing.

Only after reading it did he say softly, "It's really interesting."

“But things are getting tricky.”

As he spoke, Someno Yukihiro stood up, walked to the sofa and sat down.

The original reason for investigating Akiya Akaba was because he had been with Sugino Shunji.

"Assuming that Akibashi is related to this case, and Sugino knows about it and has dealings with him, the public will immediately feel bad for the newcomers in our police force, right?"

After saying that, Someno Yukihiro turned his gaze to him.

"What should I do?"

Like asking for opinions.

But Feng Jianyu also knew that this was a test given to him by the other party.

"Let's investigate Mr. Sugino."

So he made this decision.

"What's the benefit? He's the deputy director."

Someno Yukihiro looked at him calmly, his tone calm, making it impossible to tell his attitude towards this proposal.

“This is about defending the country.”

Yuya Kazami answered righteously.

Obtain various information about the target person and reveal other people's privacy.

The blood of the police flows in his body.

"We will now begin a confidential investigation of Deputy Director Sugino and Makiya Akibaba."

Furiya Rei gave them orders.

"Twenty-four-hour surveillance. Investigation of his interpersonal relationships and bank accounts. The identities of the people he came into contact with, as well as his cell phone call records. Nothing can be left out."

At the same time, Shigu Riyue finally cracked the password of File No. 3.

As expected, File 3 records the investigation of the prisoner.

From the results, Ikema Shu found five suspects related to the incident between Yunwu and the former superintendent general:

Yasuyuki Hosaka is a company consultant; Takahiro Morishige runs a construction company in northern Kanto; Yokogi Yoshino runs several brothels in Tokyo; Arisui Iguchi is a city council member in the Tokai region.

Makuya Akibaba is an electronic components stock broker.

"The criminal who murdered Ikema should be among them."

"As shown in folder No. 2. In both cases, the criminals' purpose was to make illegal profits by manipulating stocks."

Ikema Shu believes that the two incidents were committed by the same criminal.

He investigates a past case with a similar modus operandi: the Glico Morinaga incident.

Note: This refers to the period from 1984 to 1985, when the kidnapping and ransom demand of Katsuhisa Ezaki, the president of Ezaki Glico Foods Co., Ltd., began, and eventually developed into a criminal case in which poison threats were issued to many Japanese food companies in exchange for ransom.

"By the way, in the Glico Morinaga case, the criminal's goal was also to profit from stock manipulation. The fact that the criminal was not caught is the same as in the Kumogi case."

Therefore, Ikema Itsuki speculated that there were remnants of the criminals in the Glico Morinaga incident.

These remnants are related to the incident involving Yunwu and the former superintendent of police.

It took many years to slowly figure out their methods, and eventually narrowed down the remaining members to these five people.

The investigation has come to this point, so it’s no wonder that he was silenced.

"In that case," Akagi Nima said, "Let's investigate all five of them."

Section Chief Jingtian nodded and said, "I will ask Director Qing Haichuan for additional personnel."

At this time, Ye Jiusheng looked at the information on the table and said, "This Qiu Ba Mu also has several residences, but in the end, we still couldn't find out his whereabouts."

"Yes. Since the address on the resident ID card changes frequently, I don't think I have time to find out where I live now."

While Shigu Riyue was talking, Akai Nima picked up the document and read it carefully.

I asked him: "What kind of company is this Power Data?"

“Although we investigated a lot, we found no trace of its business.”

Seko Hizuki replied, "The records of the rest of the board were also erased. So it seems that Akiyaba was the only one doing this."

In other words, a shell company?
Akai Nima couldn't help but think about it.

A shell company refers to a person or group that has no fixed assets, no fixed business location, and no fixed number of staff, and only carries a shell company to engage in social and economic activities.

"Contact me if you have any further information. I'm leaving."

Having said that, Akai Nima put the information back on the table.

"Eh? What about the support?"

Akai Nima stopped and turned to look at him: "If you had that much time, you would have found the first suspect."

After saying that, he turned and left.

After Section Chief Kyōda raised his hand to signal, Ye Jiusheng immediately followed.

Perhaps because I was too anxious, I accidentally bumped into the corner of the table and cried out "pain" softly.

"Let's take a little rest."

Section Chief Kyōda looked at Seko Riyue who had returned to the computer and gave a kind reminder.

"It's okay with me."

Shigu Riyue typed on the keyboard rapidly with both hands and answered without even raising his head.

Section Chief Kyōda didn't push him too hard.

But when he passed by the small whiteboard, he suddenly stopped, looked at the photo on it and said: "Ikema, you are so lucky to have such a good subordinate."

"Finally I found out Akiya's true identity."

A middle-aged man in a suit walked into the section chief's office.

After arriving at the desk, he took out a black-and-white photo from the file bag and placed it in front of the other party.

He asked, “Do you know where this is?”

"This photo is old enough, is it a racecourse?" Someno Yukihiro guessed.

There were a lot of people in the photo, which made him think of that place in an instant.

“It’s a place that’s more greedy for money.”

After saying that, the man placed another black and white photo in front of him.

This time the photo gives a lot more information.

"The Stock Exchange?"

"Watch this."

The man pointed to a certain place and handed the enlarged photo to Someno Yukihiro.

From his face, it is not difficult to guess the identity of the man in the photo.

"Is this the Autumn Field?"

"Yes."

The man replied, "Thirty years ago, Akibaba worked for a company called Hamakita Securities."

As he spoke, he handed all the remaining investigation materials to the other party.

Born in Osaka, his real name is How Long to Eat.

He calls himself Akibaba Makiya and has been frequenting securities venues before. He is said to be a securities employee.
