Stay away from Conan.

Admittedly, Officer Shiratori had to admit that the question raised by Miwako Sato was indeed very pointed. After all, the time between the deaths of Officer Narasawa and Officer Yoichiro Shiba was too short. Officer Narasawa had just been murdered in the afternoon, and then in the evening, he received the news of Officer Yoichiro Shiba's murder.

If, from the beginning, the police's judgment that Officer Narasawa's gesture of clutching his chest when he was murdered indicated that he had a police handbook in his breast pocket was incorrect, then after careful examination of the details, it can be determined that the police handbook in Officer Shiba Ichiro's hand when he was murdered was not something Officer Shiba Ichiro desperately took out before his death. In other words, it must have been the murderer's scheme, a deliberate act of deception after learning that the police had interpreted Narasawa's actions as referring to the police handbook.

In other words, shortly after Officer Narasawa's murder, the killer already knew the progress of the police investigation into the incident.

That alone is enough to surprise people.

After all, if the murderer had no contact with anyone within the police force from the beginning, how would he have known about this information that was only known within the police force?
"So... what you're saying is that the killer... has a deeper connection with that person within the police force than we thought?"

With a serious expression, Officer Shiratori said this to Miwako Sato.

In response, Miwako Sato nodded solemnly, indicating that this matter was clearly not simple, and even investigating within the Metropolitan Police Department might not be safe. Therefore, Miwako Sato continued:

"Anyway, you should be careful."

"That's it," Officer Shiratori nodded, having understood the crux of the matter. The three then parted ways, preparing to conduct a detailed investigation of the incident the next day...

……

"Giving the clues to these three... that should be about right..."

Meanwhile, inside the Metropolitan Police Department, as Inspector Shiratori and his two colleagues began plotting and preparing for action after receiving the email, Takato, the sender of the anonymous email, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After all, given the detailed information he had provided, if the police thoroughly investigated Kyosuke Kazato's past and placed him among the suspects in the surgeon's death a year ago, they should be able to quickly ascertain the truth of the matter.

Therefore, no matter what, the police had not yet investigated this Kyosuke Kazato at all before. Naturally, no matter how they investigated, they could not find out the truth, because the murderer was not even in the police's sight. The police simply focused their attention on the people who were not the murderer, so naturally they could not find out the truth.

But now that there's a clear indication, Gao Yuan believes the police are still capable of finding out the truth.

The only question remains: how did the murderer escape the police trap at tonight's dinner and frame another person as a suspect?

Gao Yuan couldn't quite figure this out, but he vaguely felt it was related to the organization. However, he couldn't directly contact Vermouth to inquire about it for the time being; he needed to be absolutely certain that the real culprit in this shooting was indeed the one from the original story. Therefore, he needed the police's assistance in the investigation. So, while sending the email, he also secretly tracked the phones of the three people he had selected, just in case.

However, let's leave it at that for tonight. Choosing Officer Shiratori, Miwako Sato, and Wataru Takagi as the targets for providing clues was a decision made by Takato after careful consideration.

Because that was someone Gao Yuan was absolutely certain was safe, since when the police were setting up the operation, Officer Shiratori and Takagi Wataru did not leave the banquet hall and were not among the people the police had set up. Sato Miwako was the killer's next target, so she obviously couldn't be the culprit.

Therefore, Takato chose to inform the three of them, and because this matter ultimately involved the safety of Sato Miwako, Officer Shiratori and Takagi Wataru would definitely do their best to investigate.

Having finished all that, Gao Yuan decided to go and rest. It was late at night, and the police couldn't possibly investigate anything anyway; they would have to wait until tomorrow morning anyway. So there was no need for him to wait; it was more important to get some rest.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, Gao Yuan proactively increased the security level of the security cameras he had installed around his residence. If any suspicious person was detected near his home, an alarm would immediately sound. After all, Kazato Kyosuke was definitely watching him tonight, and might very well make a move against him first.

Because, according to the original work, he was a crazy guy who wanted to kill all the police officers who investigated the death of the surgeon named Nino Yasushi back then in order to prevent the police from finding him!

Through psychological therapy with Narasawa, he learned from Narasawa that the police had secretly reopened the investigation into the incident. Therefore, he knew that the police still had doubts about the death of Nino Yasushi back then. So, in order to deal with this matter, he simply killed all the police officers investigating the case. Moreover, because he learned about Tomonari Makoto's deeds from Narasawa, he also intended to shift the suspicion of the murderer onto him in the original work.

From this perspective, at least judging from the outcome, it seems that the police are indeed treating Yoo Sung-jin as the murderer, but the process is clearly different.

Furthermore, because he was Officer Shiratori's attending physician, Kazato Kyosuke easily obtained information about the police investigation's progress from Officer Shiratori. It was then that he learned that the police had misinterpreted Narasawa's actions before his death as an allusion to the police handbook. Therefore, in the second incident, he took advantage of the situation and deliberately brought out the police handbook to further mislead the police's judgment on the case.

However, after being reminded of this, the police have now realized that something was wrong.

Moreover, it was precisely because of Officer Shiratori's relationship with Kyosuke Kazato that, in order to deal with this matter, it was necessary to inform Officer Shiratori to be wary of Kyosuke Kazato. Therefore, Officer Shiratori was the necessary person I had chosen.

Now, everything is ready, except for the final push—

Once the police can confirm Kyosuke Kazato's suspicion and arrest him, eliminating the overt danger, it will be easier to proceed with the investigation into the police force itself, identifying any individuals potentially connected to the organization...

However, Gao Yuan clearly hasn't realized yet that his perspective on this matter is flawed... (End of Chapter)
