Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 92: Wall-Through Murder Case

In the interview room, opposite Shiraishi, sitting in the main seat was Officer Kanma, who came from the National Police Agency, and to his left was Investigator Yamamoto.

In addition to the two people from the National Police Agency, there were also Uno Tadayoshi, a counselor of the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, Matsumoto Kiyonaga, a manager of the First Investigation Division, and Shirahata Mamoru, an inspector. The three of them also sat at the last seat at this time.

(Uno Tadayoshi: In the movie, he is the one who always appears, with the barcode hairstyle, and the police officer who leads the investigation meeting. The "counselor" is the second-in-command of the department, the deputy director.)
Among the five, only Uno and Zanma are "Senior Superintendents", and the other three are "Superintendents".

Uno Tadayoshi is here to accompany the police department's Canjian; Matsumoto Kiyonaga is here because the case of Yoshii Daijiro's murder is currently being investigated by Manager Matsumoto; White Flag Inspector is here to investigate whether the Beika Police Department has violated any rules in its previous investigations...

At this time, there were constant sounds of slamming the table and questioning of Shiraishi...

Although Investigator Yamamoto is only a "superintendent" in terms of police rank, he has always had this attitude towards police officers in the "lower" departments and has long been accustomed to this way of dealing with people.

Originally, Canjian was watching Yamamoto's performance leisurely, and he just smiled without saying anything, but...

Shiraishi suddenly stood up...

The unignorable size and invisible aura made Yamamoto instinctively shut up.

Shiraishi took two steps forward, and Yamamoto immediately asked cautiously: "You, you are going to do..."

boom--

Bai Shi suddenly leaned down, opened his arms and slapped the long table in front of the five people. There was even a cracking sound in the loud noise. At the same time, Bai Shi's half-opened arms were wide enough to almost encompass the five people. His upper body leaned forward, almost shrouding the four people on the left in shadow...

Matsumoto, who was sitting at the end on the far right, smiled slightly at this moment.

"That's right! I will formally question this matter!

"Inspector Yamamoto, don't compare me to those guys who would swallow their anger in silence!

"Not only is he abusing his power for personal gain, I now suspect that Yoshii Daijiro is directly related to the previous murder. Don't think I will ignore the false testimony of some people!
"You'd better hold your tail between your legs. If I catch him, no matter who he is, I will send him to where he should go!" Shiraishi looked down at Yamamoto, but his eyes were blatantly glancing at the counselor Kanma who was sitting in the main seat next to him.

For a moment, Kanjian and Yamamoto were all shocked, even... Yamamoto's throat seemed to be strangled, and he dared not make a sound. At the same time, a foul smell came out from his position!

Seeing this, Counselor Uno immediately said, "Director Shiraishi! You are so rude. I know you blame yourself for the failure in the previous case, which led to this case... But if you want to inquire about something, you must report it according to the procedures. Why are you shouting here? Report to Yamamoto immediately... Um, Investigator Yamamoto, let me take you to change your clothes first..."

As Uno Tadayoshi said this, he winked at Inspector Shirahata. Shirahata didn't want to inspect Shiraishi Kuro in the first place, so he quickly pulled Yamamoto away.

As for Counselor Uno... he was not very satisfied with Shiraishi before, thinking that he was rough and tough and easily defeated. However, now that the National Police Agency wants to attack Shiraishi because of the Yoshii family's affairs, Uno secretly protects him.

On the surface, Uno reprimanded Shiraishi, but in fact, he was just letting Shiraishi off the hook - speaking objectively, Uno felt that this was completely a revenge by someone in the "Police Department"... or even that they were feeling guilty and wanted to be the first to file a complaint!

Yamamoto's face turned purple at this time, but Shiraishi kept looking down at him with full authority, and... he was really scared just now, and he was completely unable to attack at this time, and was pulled away by Bai Qi.

"Director Shiraishi, you seem to have some different ideas about Yoshii's case. Can you share the results of the Beika Agency's investigation with our task force?" Matsumoto said directly at this time.

"That's right, I don't think Yoshii will admit to the second murder, right?" Shiraishi deliberately sneered at Canjian.

The person related to Yoshii Daijiro may not be this Canmura, but Canmura is definitely interfering in the case with the purpose of "preventing the National Police Agency from being implicated"!
"How can you trust what that bastard said? He must have just done it to stay alive! After all, he killed three people, so he will most likely be sentenced to death!" Canjian said immediately.

Indeed, generally speaking, if you kill two people, you may be sentenced to death, and if you kill three people, you will most likely be sentenced to death. Of course, whether the death penalty will be carried out is also a question, because it must be approved and signed by the Minister of Justice before it can be carried out, and the Minister of Justice has always been reluctant to sign, so many death row prisoners in East Island have been detained for a long time, which is equivalent to life imprisonment...

"Well, of course we will consider all aspects and conduct a thorough investigation." Matsumoto said at this time neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Canjian wanted to say something, but he stopped talking dejectedly.

In the end, the review talks on "Shiraishi Kuro" ended without any results.

……

A few days later, Matsumoto sent the murder case from a year ago and the murder of Yoshii Daijiro to the prosecutor's office. As for the murder of Miss Murano, it was assumed that it could only be an unsolved case - the special task force led by Matsumoto was originally responsible for investigating the "murder of Yoshii Daijiro", and the case from a year ago was confessed by Yoshii Hiroya himself.

As for the case a few days ago, although Yoshii Hiroya reported his father, but...

There is no way to investigate, sentence or convict a dead person!
Legally speaking, Daijiro Yoshii can never be punished and will not become a criminal.

Therefore, this case can only end as an unsolved case...

Matsumoto did not count Yoshii Hiroya's exposure of Daijiro as his "meritorious performance", that is, he did not accept his confession about the case, but he did not follow the suggestions of some people and put the blame on Yoshii Hiroya for the case.

……

On October 10, the day the samples were sent for inspection, Matsumoto specially asked Shiraishi out for a meal - at the Manman Ushii restaurant where the two had often visited before.

When Shiraishi was still in "Soichi", he handled cases under the investigation headquarters headed by Matsumoto. Even after he went to "Team Investigation", when there were cases that required joint investigation by the Criminal Department and the Team Investigation Department, Matsumoto would specifically appoint Shiraishi to the investigation headquarters.

"It's a pity that Daijiro Yoshii is dead. I'm afraid the case of Kana Murano will remain unsolved." Matsumoto Kiyonaga said regretfully. "There's nothing we can do about it..." Shiraishi was very calm.

"Have you contacted her family?" Matsumoto asked specifically - he did not initiate an investigation into the Murano Kana case.

Firstly, from a procedural point of view, he was not investigating this case. Since he did not accept Yoshii Hiroya's accusation, this case had nothing to do with him. Secondly, he was not Shiraishi after all...

If he was as reckless as Bai Shi, he would probably be completely idle. One needs to know a limit when doing things!
"Well, although the case has not been closed in theory, but... they should be able to understand. I also helped them apply for public observation of Yoshii Hiroya's trial." Shiraishi nodded.

"That's good... The most important thing in handling a case is to end hatred, otherwise more good people will be drawn into the vortex of crime." Matsumoto once again said his catchphrase, "The most important thing is to end hatred."

Shiraishi probably knew what he wanted to say, so he didn't respond. However, Matsumoto still said, "It's a pity. It would be great if we could catch Yoshii Daijiro as well."

Matsumoto's tone was somewhat complaining.

However, Shiraishi smiled and said, "Oh, it's a good thing that Yoshii Daijiro was killed... If Yoshii Daijiro was still alive, even if they really caught Yoshii Hiroya guilty, they might be able to find a 'mental certificate'. This kind of pleasure criminal is the easiest to get a mental certificate, and then they might just be sent to a mental hospital for correction."

That’s right, if Daijiro Yoshii hadn’t died, Hiroya Yoshii wouldn’t have been sentenced to death so quickly!
It is precisely because Hiroya Yoshii still wants to blame his father for his crimes that the original "resistance" to the search has now become a "pushing force"... Many people will not feel at ease unless he is sentenced to death.

"Ah, you said that as if you really want him to die." Matsumoto deliberately reminded.

Shiraishi was very calm about this - not to mention that there would be no problem with what he did even if the case was brought to court, and... Matsumoto was just regretful that it was a good opportunity for Daijiro Yoshii and he was not brought to justice!

Kala Kala——

"Really...how long will it take?" The owner of the Manman Niujing restaurant came over and tidied up the food, complaining "quietly".

Shiraishi and Matsumoto paused when they heard this, then put the money down and left.

"Mr. Fuman, those two people are police officers, right?" the young waiter said to the boss with some concern.

"Hmph... just tax thieves!" Fuman looked at the two men's backs as they left with resentment.

……

Shiraishi came out during his lunch break, and after eating, he drove back to the police station, but...

"Huh?" Shiraishi spotted a "Search One" police car in the parking lot.

Could it be...

Shiraishi hid in the car and sighed - today is already October 10th, and it will be a week without a murder in Beika Town!

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

Shiraishi calmed himself down and went to the police station.

As he approached the Criminal Division's office, Shiraishi suddenly felt something was wrong...

The atmosphere doesn't sound like a murder has occurred?
"Director, do you have any instructions?" Kunikida asked puzzledly when he saw the director coming.

"Nothing... I saw Souyi's car there and thought something had happened." Bai Shi said puzzledly.

"Oh, he's an officer from the third criminal department, and he's just confirming the suspect's alibi for us," Kunikida explained.

"Alibi? Whose?" Shiraishi became even more puzzled - could it be that someone in the police station was involved in the case?

"He was a drunk who was arrested last night. He was arrested when Kuroki was on duty. He was originally planning to keep him until he sobered up and send him to the detention center in the afternoon. But then someone from Souichi arrived and asked Kuroki to take him to see the suspect."

Kunikida didn't think of this as a big deal - although he didn't ask why they were investigating this person's alibi, it was true that the person had been in the detention center inside the police station all night and a morning, so it was easy to provide an alibi.

But at this moment, Kuroki returned to the Criminal Division office with an embarrassed look on his face: "Section Chief...ah, Director, you're here too?"

"How is it?" Kunikida confirmed with him.

Originally, Kunikida didn't think anything would happen, but then Kuroki said, "I did catch that guy before the crime happened, but..."

"But?" Kunikida felt uncomfortable seeing him hesitating.

"But he himself claimed that he went through the wall and killed someone!" Hei Mu also had a constipated expression on his face at this time.

Shiraishi, Kunikida:......
