Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 160 Double Arrest
"The victim's fiancée came here several times to pay respects. It was said that it was her birthday, but she couldn't get in touch with her fiancée, and because things were not peaceful at the time, she called the police.

"When Zhu Shen was captured that night, she might have been relieved. But the next day, Zhu Shen confessed that he had killed a fourth person, and the location was right here..."

Nomura also remembers that when no one was willing to come here, the victim's fiancée came here many times to pay homage.

Just at this moment, a sanitation worker happened to pass by while cleaning - he only dared to come in to clean because he saw there were people there.

"Not only did it happen then, she came here two days ago. I don't know why, but she even left the bouquet of flowers here." The sanitation worker mentioned at this time.

Upon hearing this, Yuan quickly asked, "This is it, right?"

"Well... it seems so. Anyway, I remember it was placed in the tunnel." The sanitation worker said after thinking about it.

Yuan and Yamada looked at each other and nodded.

……

At the same time, Shiraishi, who had just assured the public in front of the camera with Counselor Uno that "the case will be solved as soon as possible", received another call from Shirai after the press conference...

"Really? Okay, I get it... Gray Valley is nearby too. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on it tonight."

At this time, Shiraishi received a message from Shirai - Takada asked for leave and drove to Beika Town and Beika Forest...

It was only later that Shirai confirmed that Takada seemed to be looking for Miyase Kumiko, but he did not show up to meet her, but chose to monitor her secretly!
At this time, Huigu and Narcissism were also nearby...

Because Shiraishi gave the task of "protecting Miyase" to the Haidani team.

……

At 8:45 in the evening, Akasaka and Toosaka stood on an embankment in Okutama Town, looking at the rooftops on the opposite bank.

Three years ago, the fourth murder committed by Zhu Shen was dumped here...

Okutama Town is vast and sparsely populated, with no tall, densely packed buildings. As the largest administrative district in Eastern Capital, it has only a few thousand permanent residents. Most of the area is mountainous, making it a good place to dump corpses.

"It's eight forty-five... After Goto Hideki was murdered, his body was brought here, so it must have been at least nine o'clock, right? And it's also the season now... Can you see the color of the roof opposite?" Akasaka asked knowingly.

"Color? I can hardly even see the roof." Toosaka complained about the infrastructure of Okutama Town.

Although it is also within the administrative area of ​​Dongdu, but...

Living here is not as good as living in Saitama, commuting by Shinkansen every day!

"Sure enough, it's just as the director said..." Akasaka said, taking a look at the photos in the case file.

This was not what Takegami Teijiro said in his confession back then - the guy claimed that when he dumped the body, he could see the roof of the warehouse opposite as a reference!

……

Although no police officers were visible on the surface, there were actually several plainclothes police cars parked downstairs of Miyase's house - there were people from "Soichi" and "Beihua Police Station".

There were even two police officers from the "propaganda class" who were secretly monitoring the situation in the distance, like a mantis stalking a cicada.

It was not until the lights were turned off at Miyase's house that the "Search One" police officers breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Miyase was not going to go out again, so they just had to keep an eye on anyone who was suspicious and not enter...

However, the people from the "Rice Flower Agency" did not dare to relax now, especially Huigu, who kept staring at... Narcissistic!
That’s right, this guy is sick again!

I fell in love with Miyase Kumiko at first sight...

"Narcissistic, even though I'm single now, I haven't found a lover in three years. It's obvious that I haven't gotten over the death of my fiancé yet, okay? What will it say if you spread this?" Huigu looked at Narcissistic speechlessly. He had already changed into a white suit.

"My passionate love will not be hindered by such worldly prejudices." said Zizi in a narcissistic tone.

"Change your clothes quickly... otherwise I will report you to the director!" Huitani rolled his eyes.

"No, it's better to wear something more obvious... Huigu, haven't you noticed yet?" Narcissism seemed to have figured it out at this time.

"Huh?" Huigu was confused.

That’s right, Narcissism already knows who the criminal is…

Although there is no beep about its own "characteristics", but... when Narcissism activates [Cupid's Poison Arrow], the original SSR abilities will be displayed normally!
Because of several contacts with Miyase during the day, and the fact that Gen and Yamada were also in the group and shared the results of the inspection task assigned to them by Shiraishi, so... Narcissism has basically deduced the truth.

……

In the second half of the night, the Souichi police officers who were monitoring and protecting the Miyase family had basically relaxed.

Just then, someone came out from the corridor...

The police officer who was searching was immediately startled, but when he found that it was just a man coming out of the corridor, he ignored him.

After all, it was "coming out" instead of "going in", and...his height did not match the previous search results, it looked to be only about 1.6 meters.

The "man" wearing a peaked cap and a small jacket left the apartment and came to the rice flower forest. …

At this time, there was another person in the rice flower forest - Eiichi Takada!

Gao Tian was near a landscape stone marker, looking for something, when a 1.6-meter-tall figure approached from behind, holding an electric shock device in his hand...

When he was about to launch a sneak attack, Takada suddenly heard the sound of a branch being broken. He immediately pulled out the baton on his calf with his backhand, continued to crouch down, and swept towards the lower body!
Shiraishi really wanted to record this and show it to the police station...

The baton attacks from three directions, this is a standard arrest technique!
Generally, untrained fighters have little defense against such blows aimed at the legs, and injuring the legs can prevent the opponent from escaping...

This is also an arrest technique that Shiraishi is not very good at - after all, it is difficult for Shiraishi to attack anyone's lower body.

Look at it now, a police officer who is not on the front line can attack very well with this baton!

"what!"

The attacker was obviously not very good at fighting and immediately cried out in pain, which exposed him...

This person is actually a woman!
At the same time, Narcissism was also crying out in anxiety - but his mouth was now blocked and he was being held down by Kuroki and Kanzaki... This was the director's personal instruction.

After all, if he wasn't held down, he would probably go out and reveal the truth before now, or even confess to the criminal. Bai Shi really didn't want to see him embarrass himself!
That’s right, the attacker was Kumiko Miyase…

Just now, she took the initiative to dress up as a man, left the apartment and came here.

However, she was just a weak woman who was not good at fighting. After being hit on the leg by the baton, she immediately fell to the ground.

At the same time, Gao Tian immediately approached him, even pulling out the dagger he had prepared, and demanded, "Tell me! Where did you put that guy's suicide note?"

Just then...

Click——click——click——

There were three searchlights around, and the strong light was shining directly over.

Takada was so dazzled that he couldn't open his eyes...

"That's enough! Takada Eiichi, put down the knife!" Shiraishi led the team personally and shouted in the backlight.

"I... No, it's not like that, I just..."

Before he could finish, Shiraishi waved his hand and the detectives on both sides rushed up like wolves and tigers and handcuffed both of them.

"On November 11, at 29: in the morning, Takada Eiichi was suspected of intentional homicide and was urgently arrested!"

"On November 11th, at 29: in the morning, Kumiko Miyase was suspected of intentional homicide and was urgently arrested!"

Upon hearing the accusation against himself, Takada immediately defended himself: "Wait! Director Shiraishi? That's not the case... I just... this was self-defense!"

"Self-defense? What are you doing here late at night? And this... A baton is fine, but what are you carrying this for?" Yamada said as he put the dagger he had snatched from him into the evidence bag.

"I just..." Takada tried to argue.

But Yuan had already said, "You are only here to find the last suicide note left by the Bamboo God before he cut off his finger, right?"

Upon hearing this, Takada's face turned pale, realizing that he had been exposed.

At the same time, the movement here also attracted the detectives who were searching here - although it was pitch black in the Mihua Forest at night, the several searchlights of the Mihua Police Department made this place very obvious.

"Ms. Miyase? You are... Takada from the Publicity Department? Director Shiraishi, what's going on?" Amemiya asked with a confused look on his face.

"It is obvious that Kumiko Miyase succeeded in murdering Tsumura, and Eiichi Takada attempted to murder Miyase, and...whether Goto Hideki's death was murder or manslaughter, remains to be investigated by the Prosecutor's Office." Shiraishi said as a matter of course.

but……

Although his tone sounded matter-of-fact,... Amemiya didn't understand at all!

"What? It's Ms. Miyase... Wait, shouldn't she hate Takegami Sadajiro? Then shouldn't Tsumura and Takada be the benefactors who avenged her?" Amemiya was completely confused - could it be that Miyase was a closeted fan of Takegami?
"That's true... The premise is that 'Goto Hideki was really killed by the Takegami'." Shiraishi said the key.

"Really? Could it be..." Amemiya somewhat understood what Shiraishi meant, but he still didn't understand what had gone wrong.

"The case of Goto Hideki is completely different from the first three cases committed by Takegami. Not only is there the act of dumping the body, which is not found in other cases, but the method of killing is also different. Fingerprints were left at the scene. It can be said that there is no similarity except for the chopped-off hands and feet. The police officers in my station have also investigated the crime scene again before..." Shiraishi said, looking at Yuan.

Yuan said knowingly: "The place where the crime happened is a tunnel, and not many people have walked through it in the past three years, so the luminol reaction can be detected. Therefore, we found that...

“The first scene that was originally identified, which was the entrance of the tunnel, did not have much bloodstains. Instead, there was a place in the middle of the tunnel where there was a large amount of bloodstains, especially... on a nail on the wall!

"I'm afraid that Mr. Goto was not hit on the back of the head by a chisel, but was pushed against the wall during a dispute, and the back of the head was pierced by the nail, which led to his death..."
