Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 69 Wedding Celebration

Rice Flower Police Station.

After seeing off Kogoro Mouri, Conan and others, Inspector Megure and Officer Shiratori looked at the information in their hands with frowns.

According to Conan and others, Officer Narasawa was clutching his left chest tightly when he died.

After investigation, it was found that Officer Narasawa had a police manual in his left breast pocket.

Inspector Megure deduced that this was the "death message" he left before he died.

Officer Narasawa was shot in the front and must have seen the murderer's true face.

Based on this clue, Inspector Megure immediately handed the police manual to his subordinates and asked them to conduct a detailed investigation of the contents of the manual.

This is also all they revealed to Kogoro Mori.

Inspector Megure and Officer Shiratori actually had another guess, but neither of them could say it out loud. That is, the "Police Handbook" itself is actually an important clue.

The message that Officer Narasawa wanted to convey was most likely: "The murderer is a fellow police officer."

Inspector Megure glanced at the office and saw that he and Officer Shiratori were the only ones left in the office. He asked, "Shiratori, where is Officer Makino today?"

"The administrator should be resting today, right? Inspector, how about I contact him now?" Officer Shiratori recalled.

"No, don't tell him about this for now! If he asks, just say that we have found important clues and are investigating." Inspector Megure shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Officer Shiratori was stunned.

"Do you still remember the case from a year ago? The case in which a doctor from the First Surgery Department of the University of Tokyo Hospital was murdered." Inspector Megure's expression was solemn.

"The case in which Inspector Tomonari suffered a sudden heart attack?" Shiratori recalled.

"That's right. At that time, Inspector Tomonari took Officers Narasawa, Shiba, and Sato to ambush and investigate. But in the end, the case was left unresolved." Inspector Megure pressed his hat down with a depressed look.

During the ambush investigation, Inspector Tomonari had a heart attack. In order to avoid the failure of the ambush, Inspector Tomonari took the initiative to reject Officer Sato's suggestion to call an ambulance and left the scene alone to call a taxi.

When Officer Sato went to see him again, he had already fallen to the ground. Although Officer Sato later drove him to the hospital, Inspector Tomonari eventually collapsed on the operating table.

"I remember that the reason they stopped the investigation was because the suspect was Minister Odagiri's son... Wait, is that possible?!" At this point, Officer Shiratori widened his eyes and looked at Inspector Megure in disbelief.

"That's right. Recently Narasawa and Sato have started investigating the case from that year again." Inspector Megure nodded seriously.

Hearing this, Officer Shiratori also vaguely realized something and looked at Inspector Megure in surprise: "So... Minister Odagiri and his son are both suspects?!"

Inspector Megure nodded heavily: "That's right, so don't tell Officer Makino about this for now. After all, Director Odagiri is his elder. Unless it is absolutely necessary, try to avoid letting Officer Makino get involved in this case... This matter is a secret between the two of us for the time being, understand?!"

"I understand." Officer Shiratori nodded heavily.

……

Early the next morning.

While eating breakfast, Makino watched the news on TV.

Just as he was having dinner with Suzuki Ayako last night, the second victim appeared.

Officer Ichiro Shibayo was shot dead in the basement garage of his apartment building. When he was found, he was holding a police manual in his right hand.

Just as Makino finished reading the news, a mechanical sound, neither loud nor soft, rang in his mind.

——【Task triggered, event level: A+.】

After seeing the level of the incident, Makino frowned.

The event is only rated A+? If I remember correctly, this should be an event in the movie, right?!
But when Makino thought about it, it seemed to make sense.

After all, the scale of this case and the impact it caused are indeed not large, even not as large as the previous "random poisoning case".

The A+ rating is a bit like being "praised".

But never mind, this case isn’t complicated anyway, and the criminal seems to be a psychologist.

The reason why the first victim, Officer Narasawa, grabbed his left chest with his hand before he died was not referring to the police manual in his pocket, but to his "heart", which means the psychologist.

Thinking of this, Makino took out his cell phone and called Inspector Megure.

On the other side, when Inspector Megure saw that the caller was Makino, his heart tightened.

After calming down, Inspector Megure picked up the phone and said, "Hey, Makino! Did you also receive the invitation letter from Officer Shiratori? I have something else to do here, so let's not talk about it for now. See you this afternoon!"

Makino: "..."

After hanging up the phone, Makino blinked helplessly.

If I remember correctly, he didn't say anything just now? !

Is Inspector Megure so busy that he has to talk to himself even when answering a phone call?
After a moment, Makino shook his head and understood the problem.

If I must say, this case has some connection with Minister Odagiri's son, Min.

Furthermore, Minister Odagiri is also a suspect in this case.

Inspector Megure didn't want him to get involved in this case, firstly to avoid suspicion, and secondly because it was indeed inappropriate to do so.

For example, it's like asking Officer Takagi and Officer Sato to investigate Inspector Megure's murder suspicion.

……

After lunch, Makino drove to the Beika Sun Plaza Hotel with Suzuki Ayako.

"By the way, Ryuichi, after graduation I plan to learn from my mother how to manage a business." Suzuki Ayako looked at Makino who was driving and suddenly chuckled.

"Huh? Don't you dislike these?" Makino turned his head and said.

Suzuki Ayako nodded seriously: "Ah... that was in the past. Now I am a little interested!"

"Really? Don't force yourself. Try more things that interest you before you graduate. You may still have plenty of time~"

At this point, the corners of Makino's mouth curled up slightly.

Whether or not you can graduate, and when you can graduate, is not something that can be decided by the school leaders or professors...

Beika Sun Plaza Hotel.

Makino and his companion took the elevator to the 15th floor of the hotel - the Phoenix Room.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, Makino saw the desk responsible for processing admission (reception desk).

On the table, there are two guest books, one named "Qingyue" from the groom's side and the other named "Bainiao" from the bride's side, for guests from both sides to sign.

The four people in charge of reception were all good friends of the bride and groom. Two of them were responsible for collecting gifts and guiding guests to sign, and the other two were responsible for handing out the seating chart of the venue.

Since this was just a wedding celebration and not a formal wedding, there was no need to pay a gift and there were no fixed seats.

After signing the Shiratori family's guest book, Makino and Suzuki Ayako walked into the venue.
