Conan: I'm Really Not the Manipulator

In the picture, at the edge of the top floor of the building, a bullet casing is deliberately placed upright in a place where the wind cannot reach it, and next to it is a half-dyed red Go piece.

After hearing this, everyone finally understood the reason for bringing up this case, but after understanding it, they realized another thing -

"That murderer...has started to attack native Japanese residents?"

Aoyagi Binguang glanced at the police officer who raised this question and shook his head: "Not sure."

"Then there was the explosion in the embassy parking lot at 4:33."

He finally started talking about the main point of today.

"Based on my judgment of the traces at the scene, the bomb was installed at the bottom of the vehicle. It was a time bomb. Chess pieces were also found at the explosion site..."

……

"Same...discovery...hiss hiss..."

The sound on the other end of the bug became muffled.

Conan Edogawa was just hearing the key part when he was suddenly interrupted. He was so anxious that he pressed the button on his glasses hard.

But it was of no use, perhaps it was beyond the effective range of the bug.

Mao Lilan next to him noticed that he was pressing his glasses and looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong, Conan, is there something wrong with your glasses?"

"No, no." Edogawa Conan waved his hands, "It's just that my glasses were a little shaky just now, and I was worried that the bracket might be broken."

He laughed dryly, listening to the complete silence from the other side, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

It seems that I can't continue listening, and I have to find an opportunity as soon as possible to get the bug back from Officer Takagi.

I hope no one else finds out before then...

……

An hour later, Metropolitan Police Department.

The long meeting finally ended. Takagi Wataru felt that his head had grown twice as big as when he arrived. He followed Sato Miwako and left the meeting room.

"Officer Sato." He called his senior and crush quietly, "Do you think the Investigation Division will be in charge of this case?"

Since the Yokosuka base is located in Kanagawa Prefecture, it is under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

“We have to help, but we won’t have the leadership.”

Sato Miwako seemed to have thought of something, and her face looked unhappy: "After all, this attack involves senior diplomats. Such major events are usually handled by the public security department, and they also attended the meeting just now..."

Public Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Takagi Shigeru's heart trembled, and at the same time he felt a little curious. After all, since he joined the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division, he had never officially come into contact with those who were called public security police.

They walked towards the office and saw Jinpei Matsuda halfway.

Jinpei Matsuda came out a step earlier than them. He did not enter the office, but stood in the corner and talked to someone.

Miwako Sato saw the man's appearance clearly: he was about the same height as Matsuda, with short black hair, blue eyes with slightly upturned corners, obvious double eyelids, and some beard on his chin.

He's a very kind-looking person.

Another young man was following behind this man. He noticed that Sato Miwako was looking at them, and quickly reminded the two people who were talking.

"Officer Matsuda, this is..."

Takagi Shigeru also didn't know them, so he walked over and wanted to say hello.

However, just as he raised his arm, the man who was originally talking peacefully with Matsuda Jinpei suddenly changed his expression, stretched out his hand and grabbed Takagi Wataru's arm with such great force that he almost cried out in pain!

"senior?!"

The young man was startled. He immediately looked at Takagi Shigeru with a suspicious look as if he were a criminal suspect, and his hand subconsciously reached for the holster.

Matsuda Jinpei also widened his eyes and quickly stepped forward to hold the man who did it: "What's wrong with you?"

Takagi Wataru felt the force on his arm loosen.

He quickly pulled his arm back and felt his whole hand go numb, but he didn't dare to question the other party loudly. He just frowned in confusion: "You...excuse me, is there something wrong?"

The other person stared at Takagi Wataru with his blue eyes for several seconds, then gave an apologetic smile.

"You look a lot like a suspect I was chasing not long ago, and I was so anxious that I..."

He smiled embarrassedly, with a smile full of kindness and goodwill, as if he felt that an apology alone was not enough, and he even raised his hand towards Takagi Wataru.

"My name is Morobushi Keimitsu. I will be investigating the embassy bombing with you in the future. I'm really sorry for what happened just now."

Takagi Shigeru was a peaceful and honest man. Seeing the other party apologize so quickly and showing a friendly attitude, he did not become suspicious and took the initiative to extend his hand.

"It's nothing. In fact, I sometimes have that kind of stress reaction..."

Hold the two hands together.

Takagi Shigeru suddenly discovered that the cufflinks on his shirt had disappeared again.

-

A new picture has been added to the book club, and it is currently the one that best fits the temperament of the protagonist, Hei Fang.

Chapter 301 Legal, Compliant and Reasonable Ways to Enter

The car that Suzuki Group used to pick up their second daughter was still the black Toyota Century from last time, and the driver was also the secretary Nishino who was fluent in several languages.

He sent the Mori father and daughter and Edogawa Conan to the downstairs of the detective agency and drove away quickly.

Kogoro Mouri stretched, walked to the mailbox on the first floor and looked inside. After making sure there was nothing inside, he walked up the stairs.

"Oh, this is really a very unpeaceful day." He couldn't help but complain.

Mao Lilan was also a little uneasy, but after all, she had lived in Tokyo for so many years and was vaguely accustomed to such a chaotic daily life. She quickly turned her attention back to her own life: "Dad, have you had dinner?"

"not yet."

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro stopped at the door of the second-floor office. He scratched his head and said, "You two probably haven't eaten yet, how about we go downstairs to Polo for a meal?"

"No, it's too expensive to eat out all the time." Mao Lilan refused without thinking, "I still have some vegetables left from the ones I bought yesterday. I'll make them now."

The high school girl who had been taking care of her family diligently for many years went straight to the third floor, leaving her father no room for rebuttal. Mouri Kogoro could only watch her leave.

Conan Edogawa subconsciously wanted to follow, but was grabbed by Kogoro Mouri.

"It will take her a while to cook. Don't disturb her. Just finish your homework here first."

Maori Kogoro said as he opened the door of his office and pressed the light switch beside the door. As the lights in the room came on, Edogawa Conan saw at a glance that the table was piled with beer cans and snack bags.

You don't have to guess that these were all left by a detective when he watched Yoko Okino's show.

Kogoro Mouri took out a garbage bag from the side and started to clean up the debris while muttering to himself. Conan Edogawa wanted to help but was driven away, so he had to sit on the sofa for receiving guests with his schoolbag and took out his homework.

Just as Conan Edogawa was about to open his first-grade math homework book, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

[Xiao Ai said that you might have finished taking the statement and returned to Maori's house. Considering that it is inconvenient for you to make a phone call there, I sent the information I collected directly to you...]

It was an email from Dr. Agasa. Edogawa Conan's eyes lit up and he immediately started reading.

But when he saw the next line, his brows suddenly frowned.

He sent the email to Dr. Agasa asking for help after he accidentally overheard the meeting, so he mentioned the missing soldiers case at Yokosuka Base, hoping that the doctor would check it out, but in this reply email...

It does list some related cases, but there are too many of them.

Over the past few decades, there have been more than 6,000 cases committed by soldiers and their families, and this is just the data for Okinawa alone. There are not many cases at the Kanagawa Yokosuka base, but they are also shocking.

As a detective, Conan Edogawa occasionally encounters some disgusting cases that are difficult for ordinary people to accept. At such times, he has to suppress the emotions that will affect his rational judgment.

But after he calmed down and searched again, he still found nothing.

This is not surprising, after all, he learned about the soldiers by accident through eavesdropping. He only knew the crimes they committed but not their specific appearance.

Conan Edogawa sighed softly, put the case aside for the time being, and focused on watching the afternoon's explosion in the port area.

The explosion at the US Embassy was a major news and many media outlets reported it immediately.

The explosion took place in the parking lot inside the embassy. A car exploded. The Chinese ambassador to Japan was seriously injured and is still receiving treatment in the hospital. His son who was sitting in the passenger seat died on the spot.

In addition to them, some embassy staff who were also in the parking lot at the time and soldiers of the guard regiment on patrol suffered varying degrees of minor injuries.

Edogawa Conan browsed through the various information in the email and his expression became more solemn.

At the end of the last century, the US embassies in two African countries were attacked by car bombs, killing more than 200 people and injuring more than 5,000 people, shocking the world.

Although the number of casualties in this incident was not high, the nature of the incident has not yet been determined, whether it was an accident, a personal vendetta, or... a terrorist attack.

He pressed his thumb on the screen and slid it gently. Soon the data reached the bottom and Conan Edogawa saw the information of the deceased.

He was a little surprised at first that the media had dug up the deceased's information so quickly - this was a close relative of a senior diplomat - but when he saw the other party's specific examples, he understood.

It turns out that the son of the deceased diplomat was also a soldier stationed in Japan. Conan Edogawa even remembers the crimes he committed.

Five years ago, a captain drove under the influence of alcohol and killed two Japanese.

Since this was not an "in-service case", it could be handled by the Japanese court. In the end, the court ordered the captain to pay $200 million in compensation and serve a three-year prison sentence. After serving two years in prison, he was transferred back to the United States to continue serving his sentence.

However, shortly after the captain was extradited back to the United States, the American media released the news of his release, saying it was good news, and the accompanying picture was a picture of him hugging his family and his smiling face.

If it were just that, the Japanese side might have tolerated it, but many members of Congress claimed that this was illegal detention of their soldiers and that paying such a large amount of compensation was extortion, and that the Japanese government and the families of the deceased should apologize to the unfortunate captain.

In the end, netizens from both countries were arguing with each other online, but the Japanese government did not say a word.

"..."

Conan Edogawa looked at the information that had scrolled to the last page with a frown on his face.

That captain was the son of the current minister. He dared to return to Japan openly after committing a crime... Of course, these are all later stories. The key issue now is -

The victim in this attack was also an American soldier who had committed a crime but was punished too lightly.

Did the criminal do it on purpose? Are they people who particularly hate the United States or these criminal soldiers?

But if that's true, then what about the sniper attack on Suzuki Tower? The person killed in that case was clearly a Japanese real estate agent...

"Dad, Conan! The meal is ready!"

The door of the office was pushed open, and the appearance of Mouri Ran interrupted Edogawa Conan's thoughts.
