Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 61: One is not as good as two, and two are not as good as three
2-chome, Yoneka-cho.

Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko walked home talking and laughing.

"Arata-chan, you'll be surprised to see us come back suddenly, right?" Yukiko blinked excitedly.

Kudo Yusaku on the side laughed and shook his head.

Based on his understanding of his son, the boy would not react at all. Besides, this was not the first time they were gone for such a long time.

That kid has long been accustomed to living alone.

It wasn't long before the two of them arrived at the door of their home.

Just as Yukiko was about to open the door, she was stopped by Kudo Yusaku.

"What's wrong, Yusaku?" Yukiko asked puzzledly.

Kudo Yusaku's eyes became a little serious: "Look at the mailbox and the door handle."

Yukiko followed his gaze and discovered that the mailbox was filled with letters and there was a thick layer of dust on the handle of the outer courtyard gate.

In less than a moment, Yukiko's expression changed. She frowned and said, "This kid... has he become a bad boy? Has he started staying out all night?!"

Kudo Yusaku didn't say anything, but carefully opened the gate and walked in while observing the environment.

Five minutes later, Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko made a quick check of the house.

Judging from the situation inside the house, Kudo Shinichi has not lived at home for at least half a month.

After reaching this conclusion, Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko looked at each other and immediately walked towards Dr. Agasa's house.

Seeing Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko coming to visit with serious faces, Dr. Agasa immediately understood their purpose and told them about Kudo Shinichi becoming smaller.

After knowing that their son was fine, Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko both breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, a sly smile flashed in Yukiko's eyes: "Yusaku, how about we come up with a plan to scare Shin-chan~"

……

The next morning.

Taking advantage of his vacation, Makino came to Suzuki's house.

After learning about Makino's purpose, Suzuki Shiro's face showed some reminiscence: "When I was a child, my father told me about the Karasuma family, but he seemed to have heard it from my grandfather.

In my grandfather's time, the Karasuma family was already rich enough to rival a country. Not only did they dominate the economic field, they also had a strong influence in politics, science, and even the military.

However, since the death of the head of the Karasuma family, Karasuma Ren'ya, several decades ago, the Karasuma family gradually declined and completely disappeared from the public eye. I remember that there seemed to be a brutal case at that time. "

At this point, Suzuki Shiro suddenly put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "But... I don't think the Karasuma family has disappeared. Such a large family cannot be destroyed so 'quietly'. I think they just moved their position.

And I have heard some gossip about this family in recent years. It seems that some people say that they are absorbing talents from various fields..."

After listening to Shiro Suzuki's words, Makino fell into thought.

What Shiro Suzuki said was very similar to what he remembered.

However, he could tell from the seriousness on Suzuki Shiro's face that Suzuki Shiro seemed to be somewhat afraid of the "disappeared" Karasuma family.

Although a certain old thief has not yet revealed the current situation of Karasuma Renya, Makino guessed that this old Karasuma Renya might really still be alive.

The tragedy that happened in the Twilight Villa that year must have hidden some unknown inside story.

——“Buzz buzz buzz”

Just then, Makino's phone rang.

When Makino saw that the caller was Inspector Megure, he immediately had a guess in his mind.

After explaining briefly to Shiro Suzuki, he walked out of the study and answered the phone.

Inspector Megure's tired and anxious voice came over the phone: "Officer Makino, please come to the Metropolitan Police Department immediately!..."

After hanging up the phone, Makino returned to the study to say goodbye to Shiro Suzuki.

Before Makino could leave the study again, his cell phone rang again. This time it was Minister Odagiri calling.

……

Half an hour later, Makino drove to the Metropolitan Police Department and walked into the large conference room of the First Investigation Division.

Not long after, police officers from the Investigation Division came into the meeting room one after another.

When the uninformed police officers in the audience saw the figure of Detective Minister Odagiri, they immediately became nervous.

They all knew that if it wasn't a particularly urgent and serious case, the Minister of Criminal Investigation would never attend the meeting of the Investigation Division!
After everyone arrived, Manager Matsumoto immediately gave a look to Inspector Megure in the audience.

Inspector Megure immediately stood up and reported what had happened in the past two days.

Due to the urgency of the situation, there was no time to prepare information and the police officers could only listen carefully to Inspector Megure's report.

-

At 8 o'clock last night, Inspector Megure received a report of a crime.

A man named Yuki Nakamura fainted at the dining table, and his wife quickly called to send him to the hospital.

But before he reached the hospital, Nakamura Yuki had already lost his vital signs.

The hospital determined that the man died of cyanide poisoning.

After hearing that her husband died of poisoning, his wife immediately called the police.

At first, Inspector Megure thought the murderer was most likely Nakamura Yuki's wife.

But after careful investigation, Inspector Megure denied this speculation.

According to the investigation, the deceased and his wife had been married for less than a year. They were very affectionate and could be called a model couple.

Moreover, there were no financial or other disputes between the two, and no one "betrayed" the other.

It can be said that Nakamura Yuji’s death brought no “benefit” to his wife.

So Inspector Megure shifted the direction of the investigation and began to investigate the victim's interpersonal relationships.

But before the investigation could come to a conclusion, Inspector Megure received another report of a crime.

A woman named Miyazaki Hayori had just stepped into the door of the convenience store when she suddenly convulsed and fell to the ground, dying on the spot.

The convenience store clerk immediately called the police.

When Inspector Megure arrived, he found that the woman also had a strong "almond flavor" in her mouth.

Apparently, the woman also died of cyanide poisoning.

At this time, Inspector Megure already felt that something was wrong.

Although he often received multiple murder cases on the same day, this was the first time that the victims all died of cyanide.

Therefore, Inspector Megure attached great importance to these two cases and investigated the relevant information and data of the two deceased overnight.

And this is just the beginning...

This morning, Inspector Megure, who had been on duty all night, received another report.

A man named Matsuyama Nobuyuki died at home, and the person who called the police was his girlfriend.

After arriving at the scene, Inspector Megure was horrified to find that the victim also had a pungent smell of almonds in his mouth.

-

At this point, Inspector Megure determined that this was a "serial poisoning case" and immediately contacted Officer Matsumoto.

This incident immediately attracted the attention and vigilance of Minister Odagiri.

He immediately ordered an emergency meeting and went to the scene in person.
