Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 99: The Murder Scene After School
"He is probably the last person to want the policy to be abolished. He also has a habit of working with low-quality construction companies. Most of those companies are shell companies of violent organizations. Now that the policy is changing, I'm afraid that the construction companies he usually has close contacts with will not let him go. In this way, his motive becomes clear..."

As Shiraishi was speaking, Ayako also came back - the so-called "other channels" were, of course, what he learned from Ayako!

When Shiraishi called Ayako that night, he asked about Doi's affairs.

"Ms. Suzuki..." Sato saw Ayako coming back, said hello and wanted to leave.

However, Shiraishi then confirmed with Sato: "By the way, that Doi... should have an accomplice, right?"

"Yes, he was also coerced by a group within the Tojo Clan, who had evidence of his bribery," Sato revealed - this was not some confidential inside information.

"Sure enough..." Shiraishi nodded thoughtfully - this way, the source of the bomb can be easily explained, and... it can also explain why the [Arakawa Group] is involved!
After all, the Dongcheng Society’s characteristic internal fighting…

As for Takei, perhaps he noticed something, Shiraishi also recognized Takei's car that night.

However, when Kuroki and Kanzaki found out that "Takei and the Arakawa Group were colluding", although Shiraishi believed Takei, he was not without doubts about the Arakawa Group. He even suspected that Takei was fishing. Therefore, he did not stop Megure and others from setting up defenses at the event site, but stayed at Doi's house.

result……

It was hit hard by a bullet!
Fortunately, Bai Shi has a thick skin...

……

Wednesday, November 11, 2: p.m.

After school at Teitan High School, Shinichi, Xiaolan... and the light bulb Sonoko, were walking together on the way home from school.

But when we got to the path...

"Ah! It's a thief... Help me!"

A scream was heard, and a young woman was seen shouting in fear at a man who was running away on an electric bike.

The man who fled on a bicycle passed directly by the three people. Looking at the woman's bag on his arm, it was obvious that he was a motorcycle robber!
Although the three of them were unable to react and it seemed that they could not catch up, but...

Shinichi even has a football under his arm!

"Heh, watch this!"

Shinichi threw the football, and after it bounced a bit, he kicked it straight out...

whoosh-

Duang——

"Ouch..."

click-

The football flew far away and hit the fleeing robber directly on the head, causing him to fall off the bike. Seeing this, Xiaolan stepped forward and twisted his arms behind his back!

only……

The football bounced high and flew into the yard of a detached house next to it, and... there was a sound of glass breaking!
"Oh no..." Shinichi looked helplessly at the house with the word "Fuji Maru" written on it and rubbed his hair helplessly. This was not in the calculation.

"Thank you so much..." The woman whose things were taken back hurriedly thanked him: "Ah! Did you break the window? Don't worry, I will compensate you!"

"Let's knock on the door first, someone should be home... huh?" Shinichi could vaguely hear music coming out, but at this moment...

click-

The sound of breaking glass was heard again, and...

what--

There was also a woman's scream!

"What's wrong? Hello! Is anyone there?" Shinichi shouted immediately.

At the same time, Shinichi was also wondering, why was there a delayed breaking sound? And that scream... Was someone injured?

Shinichi saw that no one answered, so he wanted to climb over the wall in a hurry...

"Hello! Wait..." Sonoko was calling the police at the time, and it was too late for her to stop Shinichi, so she had to report her location to the order taker first.

At the same time, it seemed that the hostess of the house came back. A woman wearing glasses and dressed richly and elegantly came over and looked at Shinichi. She asked hesitantly, "Young man, what are you doing at my door?"

"Ah! Sorry, this is what happened..." The woman who had just retrieved her bag wanted to apologize for breaking the glass, but Shinichi interrupted her immediately: "There was a woman's scream just now, open the door!"

"Ah? Scream? Good..."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fujimaru quickly opened the gate and rushed to the door of her house with Shinichi, but she also forgot to bring the key to the house.

Bang, bang, bang - "Husband, husband? Open the door... It's strange, my husband must be at home at this time..." Mrs. Fujimaru knocked on the door anxiously, and when she saw that no one came to open the door, she muttered to herself in confusion.

"Is your husband the only one at home?" The scream that Shinichi just vaguely heard should be from a woman.

"Hideko... Miss Hideko is here too! Hideko, husband! Open the door!" Mrs. Fujimaru hurriedly called another name, but no one opened the door.

Just as Mrs. Fujimaru was muttering, "Could something have happened to both of them?", the door suddenly opened...

I saw a middle-aged man opening the door with a somewhat panicked look on his face.

"Honey, why are you back so early today?" The man tried to remain calm and... seemed to be blocking the door instinctively.

"Honey, what's wrong with you? Could it be that... you killed Miss Hideko..." Mrs. Fujimaru looked at her husband in shock.

"Do not……"

"excuse me!"

Shinichi realized something was wrong, so he immediately pushed the door open. After taking a quick look around the lobby on the first floor, he ran upstairs where the sound came from.

Mrs. Fujimaru quickly followed. Xiaolan and Sonoko, who had just handed the robber to the patrolman, also followed in, and immediately...

what--

Mrs. Fujimaru's scream came from the second floor. Xiaolan and Sonoko immediately ran upstairs following the sound, only to see...

A young woman fell on the sofa with a pool of blood underneath her!
"Xiaolan, call an ambulance... It's too late, just go call the police outside." Shinichi went forward to check on the victim and found that the victim was no longer breathing, but...

The body was still warm, so it was most likely that he had died not long ago when I heard the screams outside!
In addition, it can be seen that there are some broken glass around the deceased, and above the sofa hangs a wedding photo frame that looks very large and heavy. At this time, the glass outside the photo frame has been broken, which is obviously the source of the broken glass on the ground.

……

Not long after, a criminal police arrived.

This is Beika Town. The first to arrive are of course the patrol officers from the nearby police station, followed by the detectives from the Beika Police Station.

only……

Because the initial report was of a robbery, the first to arrive were the detectives from the Seventh Investigation Department.

The Criminal Investigation Division of the Beihua Police Department is divided into ten departments. One department is the Administrative Department, which is responsible for purely desk work such as reimbursement applications, unified liaison, etc. The other nine departments are criminal police who are out on field duty. Ordinary police stations do not have so many of them, only a large police station like Beihua, especially in the Criminal Investigation Division!
In addition, although there are no detailed responsibilities like the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division 1, generally speaking, more serious and difficult cases are handed over to the second, third, and fourth departments, that is, the Aoki, Akasaka, and Haidani teams.

However, this time, because when the police were called in the beginning, they said that the perpetrator was a robber, so it was the seventh department that came.

"So... it was because you kicked the football in that the glass broke and killed someone, right? You high school students... now someone has died because of you, what else do you have to say?!"

After listening to the description of the people present, detective Moriya Masayoshi from the seventh department put on a stern face like a tough detective and directly accused them - usually this kind of murder case would not be his turn, but now it seems... it's not difficult!
"Shinichi is also trying to catch the criminal..." Xiaolan hurriedly tried to explain.

"Shut up! It's our responsibility to catch the criminal! You high school students, someone's dead, and you're still here..."

Before Moriya could finish, Shinichi interrupted, "No, first of all, there was a time difference between the time when my football flew in and the second time when the sound of breaking and screaming appeared. In addition... the window was broken on this side, and my football came in from here. Then look here... there is an obvious mark here.

"Obviously, the football flew in and hit the speaker here, and then naturally rolled to its current location... This is also consistent with the trend of glass fragments scattering after the window is broken. It is impossible for it to hit the large picture frame on the other side.

"If you're worried, you can check the traces here and the dust on the football, as well as the angle at which the debris from the window fell..."

Indeed, Shinichi had checked the scene before, and the shattering of the fatal photo frame certainly had nothing to do with his football - he was still kicking the ball with his feet at that time, and no matter how strong the force was, it was impossible for it to hit the suspect, bounce back and break the window, and then have enough power to shatter such thick photo frame glass!

Senya was a little annoyed and said, "Enough! Still talking nonsense? He's just a high school student..."

"I'm indeed a high school student, but I'm also a detective... My name is Kudo Shinichi." Shinichi felt that he was still very famous in Toudou.

"A high school detective? A guy with an excess of consciousness who messes with the police officers at the scene? If you have anything to say, tell me when you come back to the police station!" Moriya said even more impatiently.

Yuanzi heard this summary and nodded secretly - it made sense! However... Yuanzi still took out her cell phone.

"Wait... I can go to the police station with you, but the scene is still..." Shinichi said hurriedly - he was not afraid of going to the police station, but now that the victim had been killed not long ago, it was the best time to inspect the scene. Just leaving like this...

"You don't need to worry about this!" Senya interrupted rudely and came up to hold his shoulder.

But just then...

"Hello, brother-in-law, it's me, it's me... We are here at Beika-cho 6-chome, and we just encountered a murder case..." Seeing that the police officer was difficult to communicate with, Sonoko called Shiraishi's cell phone - after the previous "misunderstanding kidnapping incident", for safety reasons, Ayako asked her to save Shiraishi's cell phone number in her cell phone address book.

"Hey! What are you doing? Can you tell this to outsiders? Put your phone down immediately!" Seeing this, Moriya Zhengyi quickly scolded.

"Not an outsider! It's..." Yuanzi was about to explain when she heard this.

However, Senya interrupted again: "I don't care whether you and your brother-in-law are outsiders or not, anyway, you are outsiders in this case now! You high school students..."
