Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 968 North Star and Tokyo Tower

The result clearly did not satisfy the police officers who had traveled all the way from Tokyo.

Conan had just finished vomiting when he heard this news, and he almost fainted.

Did I really trust the police too much?
He should have thought of it earlier.

If Inspector Megure's efficiency is so poor, what can we expect from the police in Ayase City?
Eh.

It's just a pity that I was tormented for nothing all morning.

"By the way, we have a clue here that might be helpful to the case."

Inspector Sugiki felt extremely uncomfortable; the gazes of his colleagues were too piercing.

The sight was so glaring that it reminded him of what Shindo Kei had told her when they were at the police station.

"What?" Conan asked anxiously, trying to stay alert.

"Well, Inspector Megure also told me about the Big Dipper, so I was wondering if this thing might also be related to the case."

All eyes turned to him, and Inspector Sugiki then said, "Shindo Kei was originally planning to return to her residence in the middle of the night to take away her painting."

“We didn’t agree, but she kept harassing us, so I went to her house with a few police officers to get the painting, which gave Kosuke Mizutani an opportunity.”

To be honest, this statement was purely his explanation for why Shindo Kei was taken away; it was entirely his own fault.

If they hadn't made a scene, this problem wouldn't have happened at all, especially with those detectives around.

"And then?"

Conan thinks it must be related to that painting, but what's wrong with this policeman? Get to the point!

This is just padding the word count!

"That painting also has the Big Dipper, and not only the Big Dipper, but also the North Star."

Upon hearing this, Conan felt a chill run down his spine.

Yokomizo Shigeaki, Yamato Kansuke, Uehara Yui, and the other police officers all suddenly widened their eyes.

"Kosuke Mizutani and Nanako Honjo actually like more than just the Big Dipper."

"The safe we ​​found in his house was likely a smokescreen he used to make us think he only had seven targets."

Uehara Yui narrowed her eyes and said, slowly and deliberately, "Actually, from the very beginning, he had eight targets!"

"If I remember correctly," Yamato Kansuke suddenly looked in the direction they came from, "Mr. Natsukawa seems to have said that Mizutani Kosuke might not want to live anymore."

"Therefore, it is quite obvious who the eighth victim was."

Conan remained calm.

Both suicide and murder are illegal.

The reason there is no punishment for suicide is because the person is already dead, and there is no way to punish them.

Otherwise, the cost would be no less than that of murder.

"gone."

"Eh!"

Inspector Sugiki wanted to invite a few people to stay for dinner, but before he could even greet them, he was greeted with a mouthful of exhaust fumes.

Don't you need to use social etiquette?
"It's good that I don't have to treat everyone to a meal. It's a good opportunity to save some money this month."

Shanmu lit a cigarette and waved.

Since it's a serial murder case, and the killer's true identity hasn't been confirmed by others, and the perpetrator is armed, breaking in was unavoidable.
Inspector Sugiki knew the principle of just loafing around and waiting to die, so he adjusted his hat brim, got into his car, and went home in one go.

On the bus, Conan had already begun to silently complain.

When exactly did Natsukawa discover the North Star?

Was it at Shindo Kage's house, or because of those letters, or perhaps about Mizutani's loan?
Conan couldn't understand this kind of associative ability.

No one could have imagined that the killer's last target would be themselves.

There is only the seven of bamboo tiles in mahjong.

There wasn't a single tube at all.

Uh...maybe it's just that the first one hasn't appeared yet.

Conan's mind was in a mess, and he was finally woken up by the ringing of the phone.

"Shinichi." "Professor Agasa, have you confirmed the location I asked you to investigate?"

Simply find the location of Polaris on the map.

However, since the general location was within Tokyo, where buildings are dense, Conan asked Professor Agasa to ask his friends at the observatory to help him find the most accurate proportions of the Big Dipper and Polaris.

"Found it! This location is a landmark building in our area."

Tokyo Tower?

“Kosuke Mizutani is quite a romantic person,” Takagi suddenly interjected.

"Hmm?" Sato glared at him. "He killed so many people, and you still feel sorry for him?"

Takagi gently shook his head. "What I sympathize with is his deep affection for Honjo Nanako. Even two years after her death, he still loves her as always."

“But,” Officer Takagi’s eyes suddenly hardened, “no matter what, murder is wrong. Isn’t what he’s doing tarnishing his and his girlfriend’s hobby?”

The other two remained silent, but nodded in agreement.

No matter what, you should never joke about other people's lives.

The streets of Tokyo were bustling with activity.

Especially since today is the weekend.

Parents take their children sightseeing, boys accompany their girlfriends shopping, and tourists indulge in experiencing a world-class metropolis.

Tokyo Tower, in particular, is a landmark building in Tokyo.

When traveling to Tokyo, there are three places you absolutely must visit.

First, Shibuya is a trendy landmark that young people almost never miss.

Secondly, in the neon-lit Shinjuku, you can shop at DVD stores, experience the fun of Kabukicho, and enjoy various other entertainment venues.

Third, of course, is Tokyo Tower.

The tower, with its red and white facade and towering grandeur reaching into the clouds, attracts a steady stream of tourists.

"I'm sorry, our tour is ending early today. Please go back now."

The announcements, in both Chinese and English, began.

"what the hell?"

"We've been waiting for the elevator for ages! We're leaving Japan tonight, how could you do this?!"

Who will bear the losses we incur while queuing?

“I came to Tokyo specifically to go up Tokyo Tower, and even booked the most expensive hotel in the area. You can’t do that.”

The tourists started making a fuss.

Most of these people come from outside Tokyo or from abroad.

Upon hearing the reminder, Mikado immediately lowered his head and quickened his pace to leave.

The people from the other towns also glanced at Tokyo Tower with regret, then turned and left without looking back.

They knew that for the staff to say something like that, something must have happened.

Tokyo Tower experienced several dangerous incidents today, including bombs, elevator damage, and shattered glass in the observation deck.

Several murders have also occurred at the restaurant above.

In short, if that's what the staff said, then running ahead is definitely the right thing to do.

Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako lowered their heads and squeezed through the crowd.

Conan followed behind, which seemed to reduce wind resistance and prevent him from falling behind.

Then, two tails appeared behind him.

Anya looked around curiously, while Ai Haibara held Anya's hand expressionlessly.

"Don't look around, or you'll get lost. There are a lot of human traffickers here."

Ai Haibara was being scary, but Anya believed her.

There were too many people, so I didn't dare to activate my superpower of mind reading and just believed whatever Ai Haibara said.

It took about ten minutes for the group to finally squeeze through the crowd.
