Chapter 144 Transnational Criminal Organizations (33)

"Come to think of it, the police from the Metropolitan Police Department were supposed to come over today to question me about Officer Toda, but for some reason, they didn't come."

While chatting with Suzuki Sonoko and others, Akikawa Sosuke suddenly expressed his confusion.

After hearing what he said, Suzuki Sonoko said hesitantly:
"Mr. Akikawa, you probably don't know that yesterday, Officer Toda was murdered while being escorted back to the Metropolitan Police Department."

"What--?!"

Suzuki Sonoko's words made everyone in the ward exclaim in surprise.

It's not just Akikawa Sosuke.

Even Yoko Okino, Conan and Masumi Sera widened their eyes when they heard this.

"Is there such a thing? I've never heard of it!"

Sera Masumi said with a look of astonishment.

Conan took out his cell phone as soon as he heard the words and started searching for relevant information.

But apart from a few photos of Metropolitan Police Department police cars in chaos on social networking sites, he did not find any other useful information.

"Sonoko, where did you hear about this?"

Mao Lilan asked with a horrified expression on her face.

"I was feeling very upset yesterday. I felt that after Toda had done something so outrageous, it was too easy for him to be caught like this."

"So I asked Uncle Jiroji to find a police officer he knew in the Metropolitan Police Department to find out what kind of punishment Toda would receive."

"As a result, we heard that when Toda was being escorted back to the Metropolitan Police Department, he was shot in the head with a sniper rifle at an intersection and died."

"The Metropolitan Police Department is in chaos right now, so they naturally don't have the time to look for Mr. Akikawa."

Suzuki Sonoko said.

When Akikawa Sosuke heard what Suzuki Sonoko said, he felt it was outrageous.

He was certainly not naive enough to think that Japan was a country without any underground gray organizations and forces.

There must be some organizations and groups in this country that ignore the law.

But what made Akikawa Sosuke feel incredible was.

The other party actually dared to shoot and kill the prisoner escorted by the Metropolitan Police Department in public.

It would be fine if this prisoner was some important person.

But Kyoushi Toda is just an inspector.

Even in the entire police system, the rank of inspector general is only a middle-to-lower level position.

And through a brief contact with Toda Kyousuke, Akikawa Sosuke also judged that his ability was just that limited.

"Based on the ability that Toda Kyoushi showed during the confrontation with me."

"It's definitely not to the point where the underground organizations would be so concerned that they would send someone to kill him."

'But the other party still did it.'

'This also means that for the organization that sent someone to assassinate Toda Kyoushi.'

"Killing a Metropolitan Police Department criminal is like throwing trash into a trash can when you go out. It's not a burden at all."

"Come to think of it, based on my previous judgment, Toda Kyouji nearly died while investigating a transnational criminal organization, and he was so frightened that he left the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department."

"A large part of Toda Kyoushi's hatred for the criminals is to vent his fear and resentment towards the transnational criminal organization."

"So, he was discovered by the organization by chance yesterday and then eliminated?"

"The fact that the other party dared to kill Toda Kyoushi so brazenly in front of a group of Metropolitan Police Department detectives shows that the other party is so powerful that he is so fearless?"

Akikawa Sosuke couldn't help but make associations in his mind.

However, Akikawa Sosuke immediately felt that this had nothing to do with him, and whether Toda Kyoji lived or died was none of his business.

The ones who should worry are the police, public security officers and detectives with full sense of justice.

So I stopped thinking about this matter.

And it was the same as what Akikawa Sosuke guessed.

After hearing what Suzuki Sonoko said, the two detectives showed extremely shocked expressions.

"Could it be that Toda offended someone he couldn't afford to offend, and was killed in revenge?"

Masumi Sera squatted down and whispered to Conan beside him. "But the criminals he usually contacts are the criminals caught by the detectives of the Investigation Division 1. Can ordinary criminals have this ability?"

Conan was confused.

"My first reaction was that it was related to the 'Organization', but if that was the case, it would be difficult for Toda Kyoushi, a deputy inspector of the First Investigation Division, to come into contact with the organization."

"And based on his personality, he can't possibly be an undercover agent sent by the organization."

"So, Toda Kyoushi should have other identities."

After making a quick judgment, Conan looked at Suzuki Sonoko and asked curiously:
"Sister Sonoko, did the other party say that Officer Toda has any other identities?"

"Other identities... I think it was mentioned... Before Toda came to Investigation Division 1, he seemed to be in some organization... The Countermeasures Department...?"

Suzuki Sonoko tapped her chin with her fingertips, pretending to recall the past.

"Organized Crime Countermeasures Department!"

Conan and Sera Masumi, who heard Suzuki Sonoko's words, made the judgment at the same time.

"If that's the case, then it's not surprising."

"The Organized Crime Countermeasures Department is a department that targets violent organizations, mafia, and international criminal organizations."

"It is very likely that when Toda Kyoushi was in the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department, he offended the 'Organization' or someone else and was killed."

Conan said.

"This incident was very organized. If it was really an organization, they would inevitably reveal their true colors after committing the crime."

"Mr. Amuro must have noticed this incident, and he may have found out some information."

Conan thought about it and found an excuse to leave the ward.
Then he took out his cell phone and called Toru Amuro (Rei Furuya), a police officer in the Planning Division of the Security Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of Public Security.

Soon, the phone was connected.

"Conan-kun, what's going on?"

The voice of Toru Amuro came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Amuro, a Metropolitan Police Department detective was sniped and killed. Do you know about this?"

Conan asked.

"I know, Toda Kyoushi, right?"

"Huh? Mr. Amuro also knows him?"

"This criminal police officer was previously suspected by the police that he would induce confessions, force confessions, fabricate false evidence, and deliberately induce prisoners to attack police officers and commit violence against them, so the police have been investigating him."

"But Toda was sniped and killed. Was this the work of the organization?"

Conan asked.

"Maybe, but the police don't have any definitive evidence."

"That's it..."

Conan said with some disappointment.

But after a moment, Conan realized that something was wrong.

How could Toru Amuro reveal the internal information of the Public Security Bureau to me so easily today?

If things like Toda Kyoji's case are exposed, it will inevitably cause the image of the entire Metropolitan Police Department to plummet in the hearts of the Japanese people.

It shouldn't have been revealed to an outsider like me.

Even though Toru Amuro is not a police officer from the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, but a police officer from the Public Security Bureau.

unless…

Toru Amuro already knew that he already knew about Toda Kyoushi's situation.

"Mr. Amuro, you followed me again, right?"

Conan's voice became a little low as he spoke to Amuro Toru.

"Now that you've guessed it, Conan-kun, it's easy."

There was no trace of panic in Toru Amuro's tone after being exposed. Instead, he spoke to Conan with a smile.

"Can you tell me about the victim in this case, the entertainer named Akikawa Sosuke?"
