Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 457 Loud Conspiracy! Are all artists paranoid?
Conan thought for a moment, then raised his hand and asked the question he wanted to ask.

"Inspector Megure, what's that thing hanging up there?" Conan asked.

According to his guess, the thing hanging there must have been taken by someone, but definitely not by the police.

Because the police don't touch anything when taking photos to protect the integrity of the crime scene, but this photo doesn't show that thing.

So someone took the items before the police arrived, and the items they took might even be related to the murderer, or even evidence that could prove who the murderer is!
Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure nodded and said, "We don't know either!"

“When we got there, the things hanging up there had already been taken away by someone. We even checked the surveillance footage on this floor, but found nothing!”

The twin towers have surveillance cameras installed at every turn, including the hotel which hasn't officially opened yet, and these cameras have been running for a long time.

However, the police reviewed the surveillance footage but found nothing.

Clearly, this was done intentionally by the murderer.

"Didn't you find anything on the surveillance footage?" Conan couldn't help but ponder this question.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu thought to himself, "That guy, Kisaragi Minami, is something else. He actually managed to get some surveillance footage. I wonder who did it!"

The person who killed Oki Iwatsu was Kisaragi Mine, and the one that was taken away seems to be Mount Fuji, which Kisaragi Mine painted.

Ruyue Fengshui went to find Da Mu Yansong under the pretense of delivering a painting and drinking, and ended up killing Da Mu Yansong.

Oki Iwatsu was completely unprepared for Kisaragi Mine, so he was stabbed to death.

After all, who would be wary of an old man, especially a painter?

Moreover, Oki Iwatsu is a fifty-year-old man. Although he is not young, he is still younger than Tsukishino Mizuki.

However, he did not expect that Ruyue Fengshui would want to kill him!
And so, Oki Iwatsu died!
So here's the question: if the twin skyscrapers are monitored, why wasn't there any surveillance when Kisaragi Minami entered Oki Iwamatsu's room?

So who modified the surveillance footage for Kisaragi Mine?!

These things don't seem to be mentioned in the theatrical version; this aspect has been downplayed.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro felt that this matter might be related to the black organization.

After all, Ruyue Fengshui was a great painter, and a very wealthy and famous one at that. Although he wasn't someone the Black Organization needed, he was rich and famous.

If they could find something to hold about Kisaragi Mine, it would be an excellent option for the Black Organization.

It's possible to get money from him or even use his identity to do certain things.

Perhaps, Ruyue Fengshui has already become involved with the Black Organization.

This time, it might have been the work of a criminal organization, specifically targeting Ruyue Fengshui.

“That’s right, nothing found!” Inspector Megure said. “According to the investigation, all the surveillance footage from that segment has been deleted. We don’t know who deleted it yet, but we are currently investigating.”

"Then can it be restored?" Amuro Tooru asked.

Actually, he knew about this as well.

However, this matter falls under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department, and as a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, he cannot order anyone to investigate it, nor can he directly intervene at the Metropolitan Police Department.

He suspected that there were also undercover agents planted by criminal organizations within the Metropolitan Police Department.

If he gets too involved in this matter, he might alert the enemy.

Gin is a very astute guy; he doesn't want to ruin his plans over something like this.

After all, he had already made his plans and was just waiting for Gin to take the bait.

Inspector Megure said, "It's not clear yet. Our colleagues are working on it, and I'll let you know if there are any new leads."

"But what I want to ask now is, do you know who Oki Iwatsu has a grudge against?"

"Although this question is a bit difficult for you, I still want to ask it."

Kitahara Natsuhiro and the others had only met Oki Iwamatsu once and knew nothing about him.

However, according to the Metropolitan Police Department's regulations, he still had to ask, hoping to glean some clues from the inquiry.

It doesn't matter if you don't have it.

"We have a grudge against each other."

Upon hearing this question, everyone began to ponder it.

then
"We don't know. This is the first time we've met Oki Iwatsu, and we have absolutely no idea what kind of person he is!"

"But judging from the scene when we met, he was an alcoholic and somewhat lecherous person."

“When we met, he kept looking at Ms. Tokiwa Mio with ill intentions.”

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.
"Okay, I understand." Inspector Megure wrote down everything everyone said in his notebook and nodded. "Today has really been troublesome. I'll call you again if I need anything."

"You can go back now."

"it is good!"

Kitahara Natsuhiro and the others got up and walked outside one by one, while Inspector Megure, Inspector Sato, and Inspector Takagi followed them out and escorted them to the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department.

At the door, Inspector Megure squatted down and said to Conan, "Conan, could you ask Mori for my opinion and clues about this matter?"

The Metropolitan Police Department is under tremendous pressure right now, after all, the deceased was a city councilor, whose identity was not simple.

If the case isn't solved quickly, even the Metropolitan Police Department will be in trouble.

As Inspector Megure is in charge of the Third Investigation Division, he is under even greater pressure, which is why he wants to rely on the help of Kogoro Mouri, who is a detective.

"Yes, I'll tell Uncle Mori about this!" Conan nodded vigorously, his face full of smiles.

But in my heart
"Heh, I've been the one solving cases all along, and now Inspector Megure is actually going to go find Uncle Mori? That's really going too far!"

"Fine, I forgive you. After all, I'm a kid now, not Shinichi Kudo anymore!"

Conan sighed inwardly.

He even felt some regret, regretting his impulsive decision to follow that guy alone. He thought that if he hadn't gone or had called the police, this might not have happened.

At that time, the bad guys might have already been caught, and he was still a high school detective, Shinichi Kudo.

Instead of the current elementary school student Conan Edogawa!

It's perfectly normal for Conan to have such feelings, because people grow up and change.

The impetuous boy of yesteryear has become more thoughtful and less reckless.

However, even now, Conan can still be quite reckless in certain situations.

It will take a long time before Conan can be completely changed!
"Then I'll leave it to you, Conan!" Inspector Megure stood up and watched Kitahara Natsuhiro and the others leave. After Kitahara Natsuhiro and the others left, Inspector Megure led Sato and Takagi back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Inspector Megure, what did you say to Conan just now?" Miwako Sato couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure didn't hide anything and told me what he had just said.

Upon hearing this, Miwako Sato didn't say anything, but instead sighed, "Inspector Megure, you must be under a lot of pressure!"

She was well aware that Inspector Megure was under immense pressure, after all, a politician had died!

If the case cannot be solved and the real culprit found within the stipulated time, then Inspector Megure will be in trouble.

Furthermore, Kogoro Mouri has a good relationship with the Metropolitan Police Department and was a policeman in the past, so there's nothing wrong with him saying such things.

However, those outside the circle might not think so.

Because they would only think that the Metropolitan Police Department is useless, that they actually want to rely on the power of detectives.

However, the Metropolitan Police Department's reputation was already like that, and Inspector Megure didn't care about these things. Getting through his own difficulties and finding the real culprit were his top priorities.

“Yes!” Inspector Megure said, “I feel like I probably won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

the other side.

Kitahara Natsuhiro and his group were walking towards the restaurant.

Although I was planning to take a day off today, it was almost noon and I was getting a bit hungry, so I decided to go to the restaurant and cook a meal, and then think about what to do in the afternoon.

Anyway, we're on holiday right now.

However, before going to the restaurant, they also went to the store to buy some ingredients for lunch!

"Ayumi, Genta," Mitsuhiko said quietly to Ayumi and Genta beside him, lagging behind, "Let's investigate this matter too!"

"Just the three of us together!"

Upon hearing this, Genta nodded excitedly and said, "Great! That's what I was thinking too."

"Aren't we going to invite Conan along?" Ayumi glanced at Conan and asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Mitsuhiko said, "If we ask Conan to go, he definitely won't let us go, saying there's danger, and then he'll send us away and go investigate on his own."

"So we have to get to the bottom of this before Conan does!"

Upon hearing this, Ayumi said nothing more and agreed to Mitsuhiko's suggestion, preparing to investigate the matter first thing tomorrow morning.

Conan, who was standing right in front of them, had already heard their team's voice chat and his cheeks twitched involuntarily.

"These three brats are acting on their own again. They really don't remember the consequences of their previous recklessness!"

In fact, Conan is also very reckless and doesn't care about the consequences, so he is just like Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Genta.

"Perfect timing! I was planning to investigate anyway, so I'll go with them!"

Conan knew very well that it was impossible to shake off Mitsuhiko and the others and investigate on his own. Rather than letting them investigate and encounter danger, it was better for him to investigate himself.

Moreover, they all knew where the people they met that day lived.

Just as the four kids were whispering among themselves, Kitahara Natsuhiro and his group arrived at the restaurant.

Amuro Tooru opened the restaurant door, and Kitahara Natsuhiro entered the restaurant carrying large and small bags, heading straight for the kitchen.

Amuro Tooru followed closely behind.

Just as Azusa was about to go to the kitchen to help, Amuro Tooru suddenly called her back.

"Xiao Zi, you can just chat with everyone outside. It's just a meal, you don't need so many people. Xia Yu and I are enough," Amuro Toru said.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuyu also said, "That's what I mean. We only need a few dishes, not so many people. You guys can chat outside. Touko and I are enough."

Hearing this, Xiao Zi didn't insist, and then chatted with everyone outside.

However, at this moment, everyone gathered around Sonoko and started talking about her hairstyle.

There's no way around it, Sonoko's hairstyle is exactly the same as Ai Haibara's, and with that face, they're practically identical.

Unfortunately, Sonoko has a mouth, otherwise she wouldn't even need makeup to impersonate Ai Haibara.

While everyone was chatting outside, Amuro Tooru and Kitahara Natsuhiro were also chatting in the kitchen.

"Xia Yu, who do you think did this?" Amuro Tooru asked while busy with his work.

We have so few clues right now, we have absolutely no idea who did it.

If we disregard the evidence and only consider inclinations, he thinks Tokiwa Mio is more likely.

Because that guy, Daiki Iwamatsu, really has ill intentions!
If we're looking for evidence, then it's unclear.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "I don't know either, but it could be any of the people we met yesterday."

"Because nobody knows when or where Ōki Iwamatsu offended someone, and that person killed Ōki Iwamatsu in order to get revenge."

"Perhaps even Oki Iwatsu himself doesn't know."

"People nowadays are very aggressive. They escalate minor issues into major conflicts and then turn on each other."

He didn't think it was a big deal that Mount Fuji was split in two. He figured if he couldn't fight it, he could just ask his student, Mio Tokiwa, to stay at the hotel and paint there.

And then this whole mess happened.

All I can say is that Ruyue Fengshui is a stubborn guy!

Indeed, people who can become artists are not exactly normal.

The previous Moriya Teiji was like that, and the current Kisaragi Minezu is too!

Of course, the idea that one should not advise others to be kind without having experienced their suffering is just his own thought.

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru nodded, agreeing with Kitahara Natsuhiro's assessment.

Times have changed, and people's hearts have changed. Even minor arguments can escalate into bloodshed.

Therefore, it's possible that Oki Iwatsu really offended someone, which led to his being killed.

This person might even be part of a criminal organization.

However, judging from the items left at the crime scene, it is unlikely to be a criminal organization.

Black organizations wouldn't leave behind something like a small wine glass.

They are professionals at murder; they would never cause themselves any trouble, nor would they leave behind a single piece of evidence!
