Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 174 There is someone outside
Kitara, a technician from the security company, was asked out by Kogure late at night, right at the doorstep of the crime scene.

Although he was suspicious of the other party's intentions, Beipu still accepted it.

Indeed, she felt a little guilty, but...

At least this Officer Kogure doesn't seem to be very smart. He was even like a pervert and took away my handkerchief after I helped him wipe his sweat!

I have also gotten some information about the police investigation from this guy...

This guy shouldn't be difficult to deal with, right?

When Beipu arrived, he hadn't found where he was yet, and at this moment...

ka ka ka-

Several searchlights borrowed from somewhere were turned on and focused on Komuji, who was wearing a white suit.

I saw him approaching me under the light, dancing strangely...

Beipu:......

"Officer Kogure, is there something you...can't ask me out at this time?"

"Ms. Kitaura, you are the one who killed Mr. Gao Ze, right?"

"Ah? Ha... Officer Kogure, please don't joke around."

"What I know is that he attacked you when you were returning the gold bars, right?"

"Gold bars? What are you talking about..."

Beipu was already starting to panic.

However, the narcissistic reasoning continued: "Yes, it was the gold bars. I think Hayashida didn't take the gold bars, but only took his card. But later, because of the abnormality in the surveillance, Miss Kitaura who rushed to the scene with the store owner... secretly hid the dropped gold bars!"

"That's enough! If you keep talking nonsense, I will file a complaint with the police..."

"Of course, you didn't do it for the value of the five kilograms of gold bars, but... to make the company pay attention to this loophole! You have been reporting this loophole to the company's top management and hope to fix it, but the company's top management doesn't care. This makes you think of using a major accident to force the company to do something wrong!

"You don't want to make a big deal out of this, so the next morning, you want to return the gold bars, and maybe even hope that the store owner, as a customer, will go with you to persuade the company, but...

"Mr. Gao Ze used this as an excuse to molest you, right? I saw something wrong with the surveillance footage of the murder at first glance...

"So you attacked Mr. Gao Ze with the gold bar while struggling. After you found that he was dead, you were scared and found Hayashida Yuto's house and threw the gold bar into the yard of the detached house... Well, this is why you asked me for information about the police suspect before!"

Narcissism then began to reason carefully.

"You...what evidence do you have!" Beipu asked the murderer's famous line.

"Evidence? Of course I have it..."

At this time, Zilian took out an evidence bag from his arms, and inside it was... Beipu's handkerchief!

"Pervert..." Kitura commented impartially.

"No, no, no, I don't want to collect this...but, you used this handkerchief to wrap the gold bar, right? The texture of 'gold' is very soft. Although it is difficult to detect, my colleagues in the forensic department still found the existence of gold powder on it!" Narcissism directly presented the important evidence at this time.

Beipu:......

Seeing this, Kitaura stopped resisting and admitted, "That's right... At the beginning... I didn't want to hurt anyone. I just wanted the company to fix the loophole to avoid huge losses in the future... But... Woo woo woo..."

As a technician, Kitaura's obsession is evident.

"It's okay, I understand! It's not your fault, Miss Kitaura!" Narcissism said righteously at this time.

"Huh?" Beipu was stunned when he heard that.

Then, Narcissism twisted his butt and took out a pair of handcuffs and... a ring box!

"Huh?" Beipu had no idea what he was doing.

"Please marry me! I will protect you!" Narcissistic continued righteously.

Beipura:? ? ?
"Well... I don't think we are suitable..." Beipu was also caught off guard.

"Please overcome this!" The narcissistic tone was very sincere.

"No, no, no, this is not a problem that can be overcome, right?" Beipu was already confused.

"If you refuse me, I will arrest you!" Narcissistic man looked a little crazy.

Beipu:......

"Please make your choice!" said the narcissist, bowing and holding out a ring box in one hand and handcuffs in the other.

Beipu:......

Kitaura also calmed down at this time - although the police officer in front of him seemed a little crazy, but... it has come to this point, there is no need to deny it... "Please arrest me!" Kitaura directly raised his hands.

"Eh? Wait... do you want to reconsider this?"

At the same time, the sound of a police car was heard...

After hearing that Zinarcissistic had "disappeared", Shiraishi directly asked Kunikida and others to look for him near the crime scene!
Shiraishi knew very well... no matter how reliable he usually appeared, Kogure was the only SSR in the agency!

Even without counting Cupid's poison arrow, Kogure can match or even surpass Kunikida in pure criminal police ability - he was once Souichi's ace, but he didn't become so because of his abstractness.

It’s just because of the pain after being dumped that I become “abstract”.

Under normal circumstances, his ability as a criminal police officer is barely utilized...

but……

Once [Cupid's Poison Arrow] is launched, he can exert his due criminal police ability against the target!

Therefore, even if we don't consider the metaphysical instructions of [Cupid's poison arrow], Kogure can be regarded as the nemesis of female prisoners.

It's just this guy...

It's really too abstract. Usually, Bai Shi tries to avoid letting him do the final reasoning. Firstly, it's embarrassing, and secondly... it would be difficult to explain if other people saw it!

Of course, Bai Shi was not worried that his "proposal" would be successful and that he would really cover up the criminal, because... he would not be able to succeed. After [Cupid's poison arrow] hit the target woman completely, she would have a change of heart.

……

"Detective Kogure, well done... but don't act alone next time! By the way, since you have caught the criminal, then... don't forget to submit a report!" Kunikida said to this guy with a stern face.

Even though he had only been at the Beika Police Station for a short time, Kunikida not only felt that the situation was even busier than when he was the head of Souichi, but also that the police officers he met were more abstract than the last. He felt that his hair loss was getting worse!

Because the evidence was conclusive, Beipu was "urgently arrested" on the spot. After all, it was late at night and it was impossible to apply for an "arrest warrant" immediately.

After returning to the police station, as it was the middle of the night, Kunikida simply asked the suspect to rest first - no matter what happened, we can't interrogate people in the middle of the night!

The next morning, Beipu was interrogated and confessed the incident...

"Ms. Kitura, do you have any way to restore the video you modified? The premise is that you don't have to do it yourself. If there is real surveillance footage, it will not only be more convenient for us, but also more beneficial for you." Kuroki, who was in charge of the interrogation, said expectantly at this time.

If the surveillance footage can be obtained directly, then sending it for inspection will be smoother, and for Beipu himself, this can also be considered as self-defense. Although it is unlikely that such a situation of escaping from the scene, especially the act of destroying evidence, will be judged as self-defense, it can always be sentenced lighter!
However, Beipu shook his head and said, "It can't be restored. Not to mention asking others to do it... Even if I do it myself, it's impossible to restore it. That's the setting."

"It's a pity... But we will still try our best to verify your confession. In fact, our director had also made such a guess before. Unfortunately, we don't know whether our exercise will be accepted by the prosecution." Kuroki said helplessly.

When Kitura left the interrogation room and returned to the detention center, he happened to meet Yuto, who had dark circles under his eyes, in the corridor.

Although Yuto's theft will still be prosecuted, he is a minor after all. If it is just a theft charge, the "Juvenile Division" will be responsible for it. The inspection procedure is different from that of ordinary suspects. He will be released on bail first and allowed to continue to go to school...

"Wait..." Beipu suddenly stopped.

Kuroki who was standing next to them, and Yuan who was leading Yuto away, couldn't help but look over.

"Can you wait for me?" Kitura looked at Kuroki and said pleadingly.

Hei Mu probably guessed what she was going to do, and made a "please" gesture...

Kitaura came in front of Hayashida Yuuto and bowed guiltily, saying: "I am really... so sorry! Under those circumstances... I actually..."

At first she just wanted to force the company to fix the loophole, but after someone was killed, she became completely panicked and even framed Hayashida Yuto!

Yuto was confused at first, then suddenly realized: "Ah! It's you, Auntie."

Yuto then realized that she was the real murderer.

Although she was called "Auntie", Beipu didn't dare to complain and continued to bow without getting up.

"You're pretty good... but you're still a lot worse than me. You did it because you have system permissions, right? Hahaha, I'm different... By the way, I also restored the surveillance footage that you modified using your permissions! I'm indeed the best... Ouch!" Yuto was just feeling proud when he was patted on the head by Yuan.

"Are you still so proud of yourself?" Yuan just realized that this kid had been hacking into other people's systems right under his nose the entire night!
Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise, I would be done with my job as a police officer...

Bei Pu was stunned when he heard this - this can also be repaired? Doesn't that mean... there are still loopholes that he hasn't discovered?
Beipu was unconvinced at first, then...

I feel relieved again.

"Thank you!" Beipu thanked sincerely.

Firstly, it was to express his gratitude, so that he would have strong evidence to reduce his sentence; secondly... Yuto proved to her that her skills were not so outstanding, and maybe he didn't need to be so picky about many things!

Just like now... Even if this vulnerability is fixed, there are still more capable people who can find new vulnerabilities.

If we had realized this earlier, this incident wouldn't have happened in the first place...
