Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 965 Not the Only Murderer

Natsukawa didn't explain much to Sugiki.

Because there is no time.

He didn't know if Kusuda Rikudo and Ireland had realized what was happening, so he had to go find someone else immediately.

"Brother Xia Chuan".

As the GTR sped along, Conan could clearly feel the chassis vibrating. Looking at the speed, he was surprised to find it had reached 150 km/h.

I don't think I've ever seen Natsukawa drive this fast before.

He looked at Xia Chuan's face, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, "Why?"

"what why?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

"How am I supposed to know what you're talking about if you don't tell me?" Xia Chuan turned to look at the boy in the blue suit in the passenger seat. "I'm not a mind reader."

You know perfectly well.

Conan muttered to himself, then simply asked directly, "So, Honjo and Itsuki can actually survive, right?"

"The two codenamed members' goal should just be a clue to something. I remember the killer always took one of the victim's personal belongings, which is why Honjo and Itsuki were targeted by the brewery, right?"

Conan clenched his fist and asked, word by word, "Among those victims, there were employees of the brewery, and not just ordinary members, but people who possessed something that Gin was very interested in, right?"

Now that things have come to this, Conan certainly knows.

"You came here for that thing from the start, right?" Conan's eyes flashed with confusion. "If that's the case, why did you kill him?"

The bullet struck him squarely between the eyebrows; Natsukawa aimed for a fatal blow. Unlike Uncle Kogoro's shooting of Aunt Eri Kisaki years ago, this was pure murderous intent.

"He finally said that the item was not in his possession."

Seeing that Natsukawa didn't answer and was staring straight ahead, Conan couldn't help but ask definitively, "Honjo and Itsuki, you have accomplices, don't you?"

"Based on my guess, that person should be Kosuke Mizutani, right?"

As he spoke, he glanced down at his phone.

In fact, while Natsukawa was communicating with the police, he had already contacted Officer Yamato Kansuke by phone.

The other party contacted several of Mizutani Kosuke's former close colleagues and learned from them where Mizutani Kosuke lived.

Therefore, Natsukawa's target must also be Mizutani Kosuke's family.

Xia Chuan nodded noncommittally, "I received information that Okakura Masaaki is a member of the brewery, and he has what I want."

I knew it!

A confident smile spread across Conan's face; he was still as clever as ever.

Kosuke Mizutani and Nanako Honjo are both from Kyoto. Two years ago, after the fire, Kosuke Mizutani left his job and came to Tokyo.

He changed jobs several times in the past two years, and has been unemployed for the past six months. Therefore, the Metropolitan Police Department has not been able to find any recent colleagues; they are all from the period between two years ago and six months ago.

When they arrived at Kosuke Mizutani's house, several police cars were parked outside, and several police inspectors were standing at the door talking, their brows furrowed.

Upon seeing the GTR, Yamato Kansuke immediately recognized it and walked over, saying, "Mr. Natsukawa, you've arrived."

Inspector Yamaki inquired about Natsukawa's situation with the National Tax Bureau and the Public Security Bureau, and Yamato Kansuke, as Kuroda Hyōe's collaborator, naturally received the news.

Ben Shang and Shu are dead, and the other party is suspected to be not the only murderer.

The following sentence was told to him by Conan.

"How is the situation?" Xia Chuan looked up at the house in front of him. It was an ordinary house, similar in layout to Nohara Shinnosuke's house.

"Although it's not dawn yet, we've been knocking on the door for a long time. If Mizutani Kosuke is here, he'll definitely open the door, or at the very least, he'll run away."

Yokomizo Shigego sighed in disappointment: "Most likely, he'll escape." "No." Uehara Yui waved her hand.

The group entered the courtyard and found Uehara Yui squatting at the entrance.

"There's a lot of dust on the ground, even on the doorknobs. Although it's close to the roadside, so there's bound to be more dust here, but to this extent, it means Mizutani Kosuke hasn't been back for at least half a month."

As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately chimed in: "If I remember correctly, the first case happened just half a month ago."

Natsukawa understood: Mizutani Kosuke probably never intended to come back.

Can you open the door?

The police officers, including Yamato Kansuke, were taken aback for a moment, then shook their heads: "No, the search warrant hasn't been issued yet, we can't open the door."

Indeed, based on the current situation, Honjo and Itsuki are the murderers. They only have the right to question Mizutani Kosuke, and they need his consent. Trespassing is unacceptable.

Yamato Kansuke also wanted to know where Mizutani Kosuke had gone, but he had to wait until dawn and for Matsumoto Kiyonaga to report back. Only with the approval of his superiors could he open the door.

"So, you can't open the door now?"

"Yes."

Natsukawa rubbed his temples. What if Mizutani Kosuke couldn't contact Honjo and Itsuki after dawn and chose to run away?
"In that case."

Upon hearing Natsukawa's words, Uehara Yui had already taken out her phone, preparing to ask Kuroda Hei for help.

As soon as he lowered his head, he heard a loud "bang" and the security door of Mizutani Kosuke's house was kicked open.

The heavy security door crashed down on the opposite side of the entryway, crushing the paintings on the wall into pieces, and the shoe cabinet exploded, scattering wood chips all over the floor.

Xia Chuan calmly withdrew his leg and stepped inside.

"Hey Hey hey"

The police inspectors were stunned.

Even with a search warrant, they wouldn't dare do that!

Returning to submit a report is a minor matter; if reporters find out and publish it, the consequence could be losing my job.

Conan felt conflicted, sensing a clear sense of urgency from Natsukawa's methods.

Brother Xia Chuan, you're getting anxious!

"Come in. Our IRS has the right to conduct mandatory investigations of residences, especially our special investigators, who do not need to report to their superiors."

"If anyone asks later, just say that I asked you to come and help."

Yamato Kansuke's lips twitched, and the scar on his face twitched slightly: "But Mizutani Kosuke doesn't seem to have any tax problems, does he? He's just a lowly employee; no matter what, it shouldn't be..."

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze pierced through the broken door and landed on Yamato Kansuke's face.

Yamato Kansuke's foot, which he had just lifted, suddenly froze, and he stood still, feeling as if he were being watched by a ferocious wild beast.

“I suspect he’s involved in smuggling and may even have firearms. These items of dubious origin are linked to a tax-evading yakuza organization.”

"Does this explanation put your mind at ease?"

Uehara Yui nudged Yamato Kansuke in the lower back and found that he was still stiff. She quickly stepped forward and forced a smile, saying, "Since Mr. Natsukawa can solve the problem of the search warrant, that's great."

Shinji Yokomizo's eyes sparkled.

He admired strong people like Xia Chuan.

No procedures are needed; they can search directly on suspicion, something the police don't have.

Sometimes when solving a case, even though you know someone is the murderer or is connected to the murderer, you just can't bring them down. Now, I suddenly feel a sense of relief.
