Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 23: Trip to the Metropolitan Police Department

Because they had spoken to Inspector Megure on the phone in advance, Anhe and the others did not find anything empty-handed when they arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department.

But it can be considered good luck. After all, given the nature of this profession, no one can predict when an accident will happen. Even though it is the weekend, there is no guarantee that there will be no emergency police response.

Fortunately, the two arrived at the right time. Inspector Megure and several familiar police officers seen last time were all there.

"Inspector Megure, we are here to take the statement as agreed."

The interior of the Metropolitan Police Department was relatively neat and tidy, without the "Showa style" of cigarette butts and waste paper flying around in Japanese dramas. An He simply took a look at the general structure of the space and greeted them.

"It's really not easy to get you two to take a statement." Inspector Megure said with a jealous look, making Anhe inexplicably feel like he was seeing "Lin Daiyu".

"Takagi, take these two people to take statements. The parties involved in the November 11 library incident and the June 2 gold coin robbery incident are both here, so there is no need to separate them."

"Yes!"

Officer Takagi, with an honest look on his face, led An He and the other man to the recording room, poured them two cups of tea, and then very politely opened the case file.

The heroic officer Sato seemed to have some free time. He ran in at some point and stood behind Takagi, looking at the case file curiously.

"Officer Sato, it seems that you don't need two people to record the statement."

"What's the matter? I don't have anything else to do right now anyway. By the way, this is also a bit of work guidance for the younger police officers." As a veteran police officer with many years' experience, Sato Miwako found it easy to control the honest man Takagi. She quickly dispelled his worries and sat down to watch the show from a close distance.

"Well, then." Gao Mushi pulled the corners of his mouth dryly, and his fingers rubbed the pages of the case file restlessly, "We can start now."

Sato Miwako smiled lightly, easily dispelling the serious atmosphere brought by Takagi, "Don't be so serious. Taking a statement is not like interrogating a criminal. Just tell us what you saw and heard when the case happened, the time, place, people, cause, process, and result. It's that simple."

She then added: "For the parts that you remember clearly, the more detailed the better. If there are parts that you are not sure about, you can be vague about them. It is better to say less than more."

"Uh, right." Takagi nodded and agreed with a shy smile on his face, feeling a little annoyed about his lack of proficiency in his job.

I hope I didn't leave an overly immature impression on Officer Sato.

Miyano Shiho looked at Takagi Wataru, who was like a quail, and then at Sato Miwako, who was as familiar as an old hen, and wondered what she was thinking.

"Then first, let's talk about the incident at the Beika City Library on November 11. Please tell us about how you found the body and what happened next."

Anhe answered briefly: "In order to borrow some professional books, Mr. Miyano suggested taking me to the library. Downstairs in the library, we ran into Inspector Megure who came to investigate the disappearance of employees. We learned from him that someone in the library was missing. Later, we found something wrong through the abnormal behavior of the elevator passengers. We guessed that there might be something hidden on the top of the elevator, so we told Inspector Megure this guess."

".Is that it?" Takagi held up the pen, reluctant to put it down, and asked with some difficulty.

"That's it." An He nodded.

"Well, what I mean is, is there a more detailed process? For example, why were you able to realize so quickly that the body was hidden above the elevator through the elevator overload incident?"

"Does this need to be more detailed?" An He wondered.

"The elevator was overloaded, but the number of people inside did not reach the critical value, which means there was extra load in the elevator. Considering the incident that Inspector Megure came to investigate, isn't this an obvious conclusion?"

Takagi was still a little embarrassed, but he looked at Miyano Shiho next to Anhe, and then at Sato Miwako next to himself, and seeing that they all had expressions as if nothing was wrong, he had to let it go.

"Well, let's move on to the next one, the gold coin robbery incident that happened on June 6th."

"Oh, this is even simpler." An He calmly explained the situation at that time, "I went out to buy groceries in the evening, and I met a few kids I knew on the way. I saw that they were playing a treasure game with a treasure map in their hands, so I joined them and helped them find the location of the treasure. However, I found something wrong halfway through, and thought of the news about the leader of a robber gang being arrested, so I secretly contacted Inspector Megure and set up an ambush nearby, and finally the robbers were brought to justice."

"Then what?" "Nothing else." An He shook his head.

Takagi Shigeru began to doubt his life.

However, this time, Sato Miwako realized that she was too hasty and wanted to get the record back on track: "Should we add something about how you cracked the code on the treasure map and what happened after Ms. Miyano fired the gun?"

"Crack the code?" An He looked puzzled. "Crack what code?"

Miwako Sato was confused: "It's the code on the treasure map."

"How would I know what the code is?"

"Then how did you find out where the gold coins were hidden?"

"By divination."

"."

The recording room suddenly became quiet.

After a while, suppressing her desire to complain, Sato Miwako changed the subject and asked Miyano Shiho, who was standing aside, "Ms. Miyano, please explain the shooting incident. If this matter is not handled properly, it may cause you some unnecessary trouble."

"Explain?" Miyano Shiho said calmly, "No explanation is needed."

"The gun's safety was off at the time, and the gun was pointed at the hostages, including Awa-kun and several children. The situation was within the scope of legitimate defense as stipulated by the law."

".But this gun with the safety off is in your hands. The situation can easily evolve into manslaughter due to 'excessive self-defense'." Sato Miwako was speechless.

"I have a gun license and my marksmanship is pretty good, so this assumption doesn't apply." Miyano Shiho was not panicked at all, "Besides, assumptions don't have legal effect."

"Okay." Sato Miwako couldn't refute this point. If she continued, it would seem like she was deliberately making things difficult.

"At the end of the transcript, we will routinely ask for your basic information as a guarantee of the legality and credibility of the transcript."

She looked at Miyano Shiho: "You just mentioned that you have a gun license?"

"I studied and lived in the United States before, and came to Japan for work not long ago."

America, that's understandable.
Sato Miwako was relieved and asked according to procedure: "Age and occupation?"

"18 years old, PhD in Biological and Medical Engineering, Director of Engineering at the White Dove Scientific Research Institute."

"How many?!"

Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako were both shocked.

How old? !

"You just called her teacher, then you..." Sato Miwako looked at Anhe hesitantly again.

"I'm 20, no doubt about it." An He nodded solemnly, "She is the kind of genius that only exists in legends, and I'm just a useless overseas student."
