Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 49: Notes and Balloons

After Kogoro Mouri took his position, Conan immediately hid behind the sofa and started dubbing.

Conan first explained from a psychological perspective why Yoko Okino, agent Eiichi Yamagishi and Yuko Ikezawa were not the murderers, and then mentioned the hair that the agent picked up from the victim.

"If the victim was stabbed from behind by the murderer, how could there be the murderer's hair in his hand?"

"It's very simple. The criminal wanted others to think that this was a homicide, and that it was Miss Yoko who killed her."

Hearing this, Inspector Megure was surprised and said, "Think of it as homicide? Is that possible?!"

"That's right, the murderer is Mr. Fujie who has already died!"

Amid everyone's puzzled gazes, Conan described in detail the victim Fujie Akiyoshi's method of suicide.

The victim first fixed the knife in ice and then turned the air conditioner to high temperature so that the ice would melt after his death.

Finally, he stood on a chair with his hair in his hand and fell from behind onto the knife fixed in the ice in one breath.

The water marks on the floor and the indentation that matched the shape of the knife handle were evidence of this technique.

After checking the floor, Inspector Megure agreed with Maori Kogoro's reasoning, but he was still a little confused: "But why did he do this?"

"Because he still deeply loves Miss Yoko." Conan stated his reasoning.

When Fujie Akiyoshi arrived near Miss Yoko's house, he saw Ikezawa Yuko, whose back was very similar to Okino Yoko's.

He was about to go up and talk to her, but found that "Miss Yoko" not only had no intention of talking to him, but even ran away in fear.

After this incident, he became completely desperate, and his love for Miss Yoko turned into despair and resentment.

Finally he came up with a way to end his own life while making Miss Yoko bear the suspicion of murder.

After hearing the whole story, Yoko Okino was puzzled: "But he was the one who dumped me! Why did he do this again..."

The agent at the side bowed his head and said: "No, Yoko. In fact, it was me who asked him to break up with you..."

"What? This..." Yoko Okino looked painful.

At this time, a police officer walked up to Makino and handed him the diary found in Fujie Akiyoshi's home.

After reading Fujie Akiyoshi's diary, Makino turned to look at Okino Yoko: "His love for you has undergone uncontrollable changes under the influence of time and misunderstanding."

After finishing speaking, Makino looked at Maori Kogoro beside him and reminded him softly: "Mr. Maori, your cigarette has fallen into your pants~"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cigarette butt that fell on his trousers burned Kogoro Mouri and he immediately let out a scream.

--"ah!!!"

Before Maori Kogoro could fully wake up, Inspector Megure stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "I have a new respect for you this time, great detective!"

"Ah? What's wrong?" Kogoro Mouri was confused.

After the case was over, Xiaolan silently stared at Conan behind the sofa with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Only then did she remember that Conan seemed to have disappeared since her father started reasoning.

He is obviously a child who loves to "disturb others"...

Seeing this scene, Makino also felt a little emotional.

In the early days, Xiaolan often found Conan "weird" and even often suspected that Conan was Kudo Shinichi.

However, after the plot of the school festival, she saw "Conan" and Kudo Shinichi appear in front of her at the same time, and her suspicions gradually eased.

……

A few days later, at the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division Chief's Office.

Makino and Minister Odagiri sat on the sofa facing each other.

"Makino, have you read the report from the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department?" Minister Odagiri took a sip of water. Makino nodded: "Well, there have been a lot more cases related to drug trafficking in the past two years."

The General Affairs Section of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department is a department that specializes in matters related to drugs and narcotics.

According to the report, there has been a clear upward trend in the number of drug users and dealers arrested in recent years.

In fact, on-duty patrol police and local police stations have encountered drug users while handling cases.

Based on this situation, police academies have included "how to identify drug users" and "how to search for drugs safely and effectively" in the scope of basic courses.

Minister Odagiri said seriously: "At present, the organized crime countermeasures department alone does not have enough manpower. The higher-ups have issued an order that from now on, the Criminal Division must also pay attention to this matter."

"Give orders to the people below to pay more attention to this matter."

"I understand." Makino nodded.

Then, Minister Odagiri handed Makino a case file: "A few days ago, the Kanagawa Prefectural Police accidentally came across a drug transaction. Although the buyer was caught on the spot, the dealer escaped."

"Although the police found his address based on clues, he had been shot and killed when they arrived."

"The police found a burnt piece of paper in his trash can, with only a corner left. Only the word 'moon' could be vaguely seen on it."

"Moon..." Upon hearing this word, Makino frowned immediately.

Minister Odagiri continued, "According to inference, the contents of the note are likely related to drug trafficking. However, we cannot continue to investigate based on the word 'moon' alone. If you come across relevant information, you can pay a little attention to it."

"Okay, I know."

After leaving Minister Odagiri's office, Makino fell into deep thought.

If he had to say, he actually knew something that was related to both "moon" and "drugs".

Although it was not a childhood trauma, it was one of the plots that left the deepest impression on him.

——Moonlight Island, Moonlight Sonata.

……

The next morning.

Conan, Ayumi and the others went to the riverbank recommended by Genta to fish.

Just when everyone caught a lot of fish and were preparing to take a break, Ayumi suddenly saw a remote-controlled boat passing by on the river with a red balloon tied to the back of the boat.

--"Bang"

As soon as Conan and his friends saw the remote-controlled boat, a strange sound suddenly rang out, and the balloon hanging behind the remote-controlled boat exploded instantly.

Seeing this, Conan quickly took out a telescope from his pocket and looked into the distance.

Four men were standing on an abandoned high-rise building across the river, one of them holding a rifle.

Strangely, the other two men were pointing pistols at the man with the rifle.

It looked as if they were forcing the man with the rifle to shoot.

"I saw it, on that tall building...it's a rifle!" Conan frowned.

"Huh?!" Ayumi and the others on the side were surprised, but also a little curious.

Yuantai even snatched the telescope from Conan's hand and looked across.

However, at this time, several men had already left the rooftop and their figures could no longer be seen in the telescope.

On the other side, the man holding the rifle seemed to see the reflection of Conan's telescope before leaving. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
