Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 90 It's a pity
After seeing off the Yoshii father and son, Shiraishi glanced at the time on his phone and said, "My girlfriend is coming, and I have to take her home afterwards. The follow-up investigation of the case will be handed over to Section Chief Kunikida... That Ninja Pizza seems to taste pretty good, I'll order some midnight snacks for you guys."

Kunikida:……

Kunikida didn't know where to start complaining...

So I have to work overtime?
Can Akasaka eat the "Ninja Pizza" he ordered at this time?

You sent your girlfriend home... Why did your girlfriend come over?
"Yes..." Kunikida was choked by the word "groan" and could only respond with one word.

Coincidentally, Ayako's Hummer stopped in front of the police station at this time.

Because she wanted "Shiraishi to take her back", Ayako drove a Hummer to the company today.

After watching Shiraishi get on the passenger seat, Kunikida felt that it was more like the director's girlfriend came to pick him up and take him home!

……

In the Beihua Police Station, Akasaka once again examined the victim's body, and finally...

"Ah! This is...Toosaka! Look, here...at the intersection, aren't there two traces?" Akasaka finally discovered this.

"Hmm? It seems... it really is..." His partner Toosaka reacted at this time.

"Wait, these two marks look like this...Tousaka, don't move, let me try... this way... this way..."

Akasaka said as he used his tie to simulate the method of strangling someone, but he found that there was a mark that didn't fit well.

"Ah! I understand. There are two people, and one is left-handed! That bastard uses his right hand...Toosaka, do you remember who among the people involved in the case is left-handed?" Akasaka finally discovered this.

"Well... by the way, just now I saw Yoshii Daijiro signing with his left hand!" Toosaka also recalled at this time.

"I understand... I understand! Let's go find Section Chief Kunikida!" Akasaka suddenly became full of fighting spirit.

……

"Section Chief Kunikida!" Akasaka hurriedly found Kunikida, and discovered that Yuan was reporting something.

Akasaka had to suppress his excitement and listen quietly at the side.

"Section Chief, I have already asked the representatives of Kirara Corporation and Chiyoda Chamber of Commerce. They all said that they did see Mr. Yoshii Daijiro that night, but they could not tell us the exact time he left. The National Police Agency...just asked us to find the surveillance footage ourselves.

"However, there is only surveillance at the front gate, and we did not see Yoshii Daijiro leave early. However... there is no surveillance at the back gate, and the guard said that no one entered or left during the dinner that day... But I chatted with him for a while, and he seemed to be short of money recently. After I mentioned this, he immediately asked us to leave." Yuan reported helplessly at this time.

That’s right, just now, under Kunikida’s instructions, Gen had gone to verify Yoshii Daijiro’s “alibi”!

But that bastard had already made arrangements...

Representatives of various companies and people from the police department were all "non-stick pans" who would not directly give false testimony. They just said "I don't remember him leaving early". But a small character like the security guard came out to take the blame!
"Eh? Yoshii Daijiro?" Akasaka was stunned when he heard that - why have you already started investigating him?
Seeing Akasaka looking at him, Yuan said, "The section chief asked me to investigate..."

Kunikida said as a matter of course: "It seems that you finally found it, Detective Akasaka."

Only then did Akasaka remember that Section Chief Kunikida and Director Shiraishi had been watching the video. It seemed... they had discovered it a long time ago?

As expected, it is Yuan Souichi...

But judging from what Yuan said, it seems that Yoshii Daijiro's investigation is not going smoothly?
At this moment, Yamada also came in hurriedly: "Section Chief! The Immigration Center has a record... Yoshii Hiroya has already booked a flight to leave tomorrow!"

"This... Chief, can I apply for an arrest warrant... But..." Akasaka said this, and began to feel guilty - how could he possibly apply for an "arrest warrant" without any direct evidence!
Akasaka then said, "Section Chief! Arrest him again! If anything goes wrong, I will bear the consequences!"

If we don't arrest him, he will escape...

However, if a person cannot be convicted after a series of emergency arrests, someone must be held responsible. And considering Daijiro Yoshii's identity, this is not something that can be solved by just a "private Marseille red bean paste".

"No." Kunikida refused directly.

"Section Chief..." Although Akasaka was unwilling, he had to leave first seeing Kunikida's firm attitude.

……

"Section Chief! It's bad. Detective Akasaka... Detective Akasaka has left in the official car!"

"That idiot! Contact him immediately... Gen! Can't you drive fast? Go immediately... to Yoshii Hiroya's house, and make sure to be ahead of him!" Kunikida was so angry that he wanted to scratch the wall.

……

While the Beihua Office was in chaos, a discordant scene was also taking place in the villa area of ​​the port area!
"The investment visa for Australia has been processed... After you go there, you must be careful in what you say and do, reflect on yourself, and be a good person in the future..." Daijiro Yoshii preached to his son.

However, Yoshii Hiroya took the passport and said sarcastically: "Be a good person... I am really lucky to have an alibi for no apparent reason... Father, how could the time of death be between six and nine? I asked you to come back at five, right? At that time, the woman had been strangled to death for a while..."

"Asshole! Do you know how many connections I have used to cover up for you? These favors in the future..." Yoshii Daijiro was a little panicked. "Isn't that right? The Beika Police Department has been handling the case all along. This should be the result of the Beika Police Department's inspection... Father, can you still use your connections to the Beika Police Department?" Yoshii Hiroya did not give him a chance to fool around.

"You...idiot! Whose fault is this?" Daijiro Yoshii shouted angrily.

"Father, wouldn't you please keep your voice down? It would be terrible if others heard us... Besides, I have killed someone and you have also killed someone. On what grounds are you blaming me?" Hiroshi Yoshii said disdainfully.

Snapped--

Yoshii Daijiro couldn't help it and slapped him in the face.

If you were outside the villa, you could see the lights in the villa flickering for a while...

……

drip-drip-

Yuan drove over at lightning speed and finally arrived at almost the same time as Akasaka. Both cars braked outside the villa with a "squeak". At the same time...

The people in the two cars then discovered that many police cars had been parked outside Hiroya Yoshii's villa, and a cordon had been set up!
Seeing the two of them coming quickly, a patrolman immediately came forward to ask questions...

"We're one of us...what's wrong?" Yuan immediately showed his ID and asked.

"Eh? Oh, a murder just happened... But you are from the Beika Police Station, right? This has nothing to do with you." The patrolman looked at Yuan and Akasaka in confusion.

"Why is it okay? The guy living here is the suspect in our case...who is the dead person?" Akasaka asked immediately.

At this moment, a somewhat deep voice came over: "The police officers of the Mihua Police Department are really dedicated. They are also so dedicated to the cases of our Beihu Police Department."

Akasaka and Gen turned their heads to look over...

Yuan didn't recognize this man in a khaki suit who looked older, but he looked like a police officer. However, Akasaka had already stood at attention and said, "Head of the Strict Disciples Division..."

Although Yan Tu Haici was smiling and wearing pink glasses that did not look solemn, he looked very imposing standing there, which made the four people from Mihua Bureau nervous.

but……

"Hahaha, what do you think? Director, I said that the detectives in our police station are all good, right?" Shiraishi's voice broke the serious atmosphere.

Akasaka and the others heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Director Shiraishi's voice. At the same time, they saw...

Director Shiraishi, who was dressed in sportswear, and another petite...ah, just looked petite next to Director Shiraishi, a young woman who was also dressed in couple sportswear, walked over.

I still remember Akasaka and Toosaka. It’s the same person as the one in the aquarium... I think her name is "Ms. Ayako"?
"Director? Why are you..." Akasaka looked at Director Shiraishi in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

"I... was the first person to discover this unfortunate case in Haido Town." Shiraishi said as a matter of course.

"The first discoverer? A regrettable case?" Akasaka still didn't understand what happened.

And just then...

I saw a man covered in blood, with clothes covering his head and handcuffs on his hands, being escorted out by two police officers - obviously, he was a "criminal in the act".

When the other person came closer, Akasaka finally saw the face under the clothes...

"Yoshii Hiroya?" Akasaka asked in surprise, and then immediately asked, "Who did he kill again?"

"Yoshii Daijiro, this is such a regrettable case." The smile on Shiraishi's face did not look like regret at all.

"What?" Akasaka was also shocked - is there such a thing?

"Detective Akasaka, right? First of all, you have to be careful... He didn't kill anyone again. Hiroshi Yoshii didn't have a criminal record, did he?" Yan Tu smiled and reminded Akasaka, then looked at Shiraishi: "What a coincidence that Chief Shiraishi found him... Otherwise, judging by the luggage in the room, he might have run away tomorrow."

"Well, it's indeed a coincidence... I happened to be staying at my girlfriend's house tonight. Before going to bed, I wanted to exercise, so when I went out for a night run, I heard the noise. As a result... it's such a pity, I'm still a step too late." Bai Shi nodded with deep emotion.

Akasaka:……

You stayed at your girlfriend's house, and your pre-sleep exercise at one o'clock in the morning was to take her out for a "night run"?
"That's right, I didn't expect such a thing to happen." Ayako also took the initiative to say at this time.

in fact……

Of course Ayako knew that something was a little unusual - because when Shiraishi took her out for a run, he kept running around the area, as if waiting for something to happen!

But of course Ayako supports Shiraishi unconditionally...

And that's not a lie, is it?
