Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 68 Careful

"So...Officer, he must have made an appointment with someone else, right? It has nothing to do with the three of us!"

"Yes, you have already watched the video. Can we go now?"

After a period of investigation, the three suspects had become impatient - mainly because they gradually realized that their "suspicion" seemed to be just the speculation of the police officer with a crew cut in front of them, and there was no factual evidence!
However, Kudo Shinichi already raised his mouth confidently...

"Kudo-san, have you discovered something?" Megure confirmed in a low voice upon seeing this.

"That's right, I already know the murderer's alibi! And... the evidence should still be with her!"

"Oh? Who is it?" Megure asked hurriedly.

"and many more……"

Just when Kudo opened his mouth and called the three of them...

"Ms. Oshiro, can you wait a moment?" Shiraishi suddenly came over and asked.

"Eh?" Seeing this, Ojo looked at Shiraishi nervously and said awkwardly, "Sorry, Director Shiraishi, I will delete the video just now..."

"That doesn't matter. After all, you didn't record it on purpose." Bai Shi shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Wei Cheng first breathed a sigh of relief, but then his expression turned into nervousness!
At first glance, it sounds like Bai Shi didn't take it seriously, but if you think about it carefully, "I didn't record it on purpose" seems...

"Um... you should have put the phone... oh, behind your boyfriend's hat, right?" Shiraishi pointed at the knitted hat that Renbu was wearing.

Renbu’s knitted hat is the kind with a turned-up brim, and it looks like it can really hold a phone!
"What do you mean?" Renbu said immediately with dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Nibe, I don't know if you noticed that Ms. Oshiro's video had no focus at the beginning, but it was aimed at me in the end..."

"Sorry! I just... my skills are not good, and when I saw... that, after seeing you guys, I was curious for a moment..." Ogi tried to explain.

"No, it's not a problem of bad skills. The video you recorded is actually exactly the opposite of Mr. Nibe's. It is always 180 degrees opposite. The camera drifted at the beginning because Mr. Nibe's camera and sight were capturing the frightened bull shark, and then stopped... because the bull shark that Mr. Nibe was tracking stopped. As for recording us... it was just an accident." Shiraishi explained at this time.

Of course, it’s not entirely accidental!
The bull shark was hiding from Shiraishi, so it naturally swam to a location far away from Shiraishi. When Renbu was facing the bull shark, the back of his head was "looking" towards Shiraishi... This was both accidental and inevitable.

"Wait, wait a minute, Director Shiraishi, I..." Ogiro wanted to make an excuse.

Seeing this, Shinichi was about to reveal the evidence he had found - if he didn't speak up, Officer Shiraishi would probably not give him a chance!
However, Shiraishi interrupted directly at this time: "I already understand the motive... Our female police officer just checked the deceased's mobile phone, um."

Shiraishi's words were vague, but he understood what he was talking about. At this moment, Ojo seemed to have lost all his strength and sat down on the ground. "Wuwuwu... That's right! I killed him..."

"That's Sui!" Renbu couldn't help but squatted down with her with a sense of relief in his heart.

Sure enough, although Renbu was not an accomplice, but... he also vaguely noticed some problems with the camera just now!

"It was him... He used those... indecent videos to threaten me... Although I have been working two jobs to pay him hush money, he kept asking for more and more, and threatened me... threatened that I would give it to Haoda... So today I used the excuse of giving him the last sum of money to invite him to the aquarium..." Ogi confessed at this time.

Shiraishi sighed and said, "Ms. Oshiro, I don't know your specific situation, but I have seen many cases like this... If you had reported the case from the beginning, nine out of ten of these scum would have behaved well after being interviewed by us, and as for the remaining one, we the police would have a way to deal with it... There is no need to be threatened by him from the beginning."

There are more such scums among the gangsters in violent organizations, and some of them even coerce women in an organized manner. Shiraishi has indeed handled many such cases.

“I’m sorry… wuwuwu… Haoda, I’m sorry…” Ojo burst into tears at this time.

"Okay, although it's understandable that you lost control of your emotions because he showed you this video and threatened to release it immediately, but... murder is murder, and crime is crime." After Shiraishi finished speaking, he winked at Fuji, asking her to go forward and handcuff Oki.

"Huh?" Kudo Shinichi looked at Shiraishi speechlessly - you're overthinking this, aren't you? Who told you that he showed the video and threatened?
Of course, Kudo Shinichi also understood that Shiraishi was hinting that defending himself would result in a lighter sentence.

Megure, who knew Shiraishi well, glanced at him, then clicked his hat and looked away, pretending not to hear - Shiraishi did this kind of thing a lot in the first year he joined the company!
At first, Megure gave him some advice, but later he realized that Shiraishi had a plan in mind...

As for now, Shiraishi is already the chief of a large police station and the rank of superintendent, two levels higher than Megure, so there is no need for him to remind him of anything.

Although it is a dangerous thing to express one's own justice in a case and go beyond the maintenance of order, it is true that Shiraishi has never violated his principles!

Murder is murder, crime is crime. Even if one sympathizes with the prisoner's plight, it does not affect Shiraishi's arrest of them. However... it also does not affect Shiraishi's decision to give some hints to the prisoners he sympathizes with within the rules.

After all, the deceased did threaten Weicheng. As for whether he was threatening at the time of the incident... who can say that he didn't?
"There are also stun guns and daggers..." Shinichi muttered softly - after all, this is a planned killing!
Of course, Bai Shi would not let his subordinates conceal the truth. As for how to convince the judge in court, that was the lawyer's job...

The duty of a police officer is only to arrest the criminal, interrogate him, find evidence, and then send it to the prosecutor's office...the verdict has nothing to do with them and they cannot interfere.

At this time, Ayako finally understood that Shiraishi had just called a female police officer over to check the possible indecent videos in the deceased's mobile phone, in order to force the murderer to confess while also preserving her last bit of face.

Seeing Ayako looking at Shiraishi with admiration, Xiaolan said to Shinichi, who was still depressed about not being able to show anything: "Shinichi, you should also learn from Officer Shiraishi... Be more attentive to girls, and don't just think about solving cases!"

"Huh? When have I ever been careless? I know right now that you're not wearing... ahem..."
