Conan Rick's Investigator

For example, Yamato Gansuke and Uehara Yui from Nagano Prefecture, and Yamamura Sou from Gunma Prefecture.

At this time, Yamato Gansuke, Uehara Yui, and Yamamura So also came over and asked why a non-police detective appeared here.

Sato, who was standing in the back, explained, "This time, Manager Matsumoto invited you two to attend the investigation meeting as a special advisor."

Upon hearing this explanation, Yokomizo Shigego, who had never had a good impression of detectives, snorted and said in a deep voice, "It's really embarrassing to ask a detective for help..."

Yamato Gansuke also agreed: "I feel the same way."

As soon as these two people opened their mouths, the lively atmosphere of the conversation was immediately extinguished.

Because among all the police officers present, all of them had received help from the famous detective, the only difference was the amount of help they received.

At this time, Yokomizo Sango broke the slightly awkward atmosphere and asked, "By the way, Mr. Maori, didn't the boy with glasses come with you today?"

"The boy with glasses?"

Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood, "Oh! You are talking about Conan, right?"

"That's right! It's the shorty boy Conan!"

Speaking of Conan, Yokomizo Sango suddenly became excited, "As long as he is around, I don't know why, the case can always be solved!"

After Yokogawa Chanwu's reminder, police from other areas also recalled it.

Yokomizo Shigego: "Now that I think about it, I was like that too..."

Yamamura Cao: “I was like that too!”

Takagi Wataru: “So this is everyone’s experience!”

Sato: "In fact, we are not much behind..."

After hearing the after-sales comments of the policemen through the bug, Conan who was sitting at the door couldn't help but reveal a smile that showed his great achievements and fame.

But at this moment, Sato Miwako changed the subject and said, "But what's a little strange is that as long as Mr. Qin is present, Conan seems to be unable to come up with any key clues to solve the case..."

"And it seems that Mr. Qin is the one who solves the case every time."

After Sato's reminder, police from other areas also recalled and nodded in agreement.

“It seems like that…”

“Indeed…”

"And it seems that even Mr. Maori has never solved the case when it comes to this kind of situation."

After everyone had this discussion, Qin Zhibo, who had been silently observing the venue, was suddenly pushed to the front of the stage.

In this regard, Qin Zhibo could only explain with a smile.

"Maybe the kid just thought there was no need to say the same thing twice..."

Chapter 1418 Search Meeting (Part )

Say it twice...

After hearing Qin Zhibo's answer, everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Is this a disguised admission that Conan's reasoning ability is similar to that of the famous detective?

Conan, who was sitting on a bench in the corridor, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard Qin Zhibo's comments from through his glasses.

No, I'm still far from it...

"Ahem, can we start the meeting now?"

Just then, Megure walked into the meeting room and interrupted everyone's conversation.

Behind him are Manager Matsumoto and Inspector Shiratori.

Everyone immediately returned to their seats, and Takagi Shigeru was so scared that he scratched his head and apologized.

Only Yamamura So from Gunma Prefecture stopped Kogoro Mori and asked who the fierce-looking man standing behind Megure was.

"Idiot, he is the administrator, Superintendent Kiyonaga Matsumoto."

"Eh? Can he be an administrator if he looks like that?" Yamamura Cao's eyes were full of shock.

Maura Kogoro quickly warned him, "If you say that again, you'll get a beating!"

After saying that, Kogoro Mouri turned around and followed Qin Zhibo to the seat on the left side of the whiteboard at the front.

Below the conference room, most of the people were police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters who were in charge of this case, as well as police officers from other places who had just come to assist.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the police below and found that in the corner of the last row of the conference room, was sitting Toru Amuro's direct subordinate, Yuya Kazami.

Although Yuya Kazami is a public security policeman, it is normal for him to appear here. After all, this case involves the murder of a congressman's secretary, and it can be judged as a major case that threatens national security.

At the front of the conference room, on one side sat two special advisers, Tomohiro Qin and Kogoro Mori, and on the other side sat Manager Matsumoto, Megure, and Shiratori.

First, Shiratori made a brief opening speech, on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department, welcoming colleagues from all over the country to assist in the investigation.

Then, Shiratori sorted out the entire case.

Qin Zhibo listened to Bai Niao's explanation while browsing the case materials in front of him.

On the third victim’s profile page, I saw the name “Okakura Masaaki”, whose occupation was a congressman’s secretary.

It seems that the serial murder case that Rena Mizunashi mentioned is this case.

With the internal information provided by the police, Qin Zhibo finally saw the details of the entire case.

Okakura Masaaki was knocked unconscious with an electric baton in an underground parking lot near his home, kidnapped to the recreational forest in Oizumi, Nerima Ward, Tokyo, and stabbed to death in the abdomen with a knife.

At the scene where the body was dumped, the police found a mahjong tile, so they linked this case to other cases for investigation.

The face of this mahjong tile is "Seven Tubes".

The only difference is that the dot on the lower right corner of this "Seven-Barrel" mahjong tile is painted red, and there is a black vertical line on the back of the tile with the capital letter "A" written on it.

Obviously, this should be the secret code left by the murderer.

Except for the first deceased whose mahjong cards were "one tube", the mahjong cards of everyone else were "seven tubes".

"Since similarly treated mahjong tiles were found next to the bodies, and the police have not yet released any clues about the tiles to the public, we have ruled out the possibility of a copycat crime."

"Except for the sixth case that just happened recently, the common point of the first five cases is that the victims were all stabbed to death with large knives and saws, and the suspects first stunned them with electric batons, kidnapped them to the place where the bodies were found, killed them, and then dumped them."

"But a question also arises on top of this, which is why did the suspect take the kidnapped victim to another place to commit the crime?"

"And next to the bodies of the six victims were found mahjong tiles that were partially painted red, with English letters and vertical black lines on the back..."

"According to analysis, this is clearly a message left by the suspect."

"Another point is that one personal item was taken from each of the six victims..."

At this time, Sato and Takagi each echoed and told about the lost belongings of all the victims.

Necklaces, drawstring bags, amulets, motorcycle keychains, vanity mirrors, character dolls.

Since the items had been lost and the police had no photos, they could only verbally narrate this information.

However, Qin Zhibo looked at the lost item corresponding to Okakura Masaaki, and it was the amulet.

According to Rena Mizunashi's information, the card storing the list of the organization's undercover agents that Masaaki Okakura was carrying was also lost along with the case.

This means that the memory card was inside the amulet and was taken away by the unsuspecting suspect.

This is also the reason why the organization was dispatched to Ireland.

If you want to find the memory card as quickly as possible, the power of the police is obviously an important channel that cannot be ignored.

Maybe at this moment, Ireland is somewhere eavesdropping on this search meeting.

The reason for eavesdropping is that if someone is to be sent to infiltrate the meeting, the master of disguise, Vermouth, should be sent directly.

Maybe the organization also considered that sending people directly to infiltrate the place with the most police was still a bit risky...

Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking about the relevant issues in Ireland, the police officers present also began to speak freely and express their opinions.

Among them, Shiratori mentioned the sixth victim, Ryuuzaki, who was killed the day before yesterday. Before he died, he mentioned "Tanabata, Kyo", which may be a message before his death.

Yokomizo Shigego held the report in one hand and rested his other hand on the back of his chair. He speculated, "The brake fluid in Ryuzaki's car might have been leaked out at the Daikanzan service station. Maybe he had seen the suspect there?"

As soon as Yokomizo Shigego finished speaking, Maori Kogoro, who was sitting next to Qin Zhibo, suddenly stood up and walked to the front of the conference room with a confident look on his face.

"Let me tell you, are you guys over-complicating things?"

"Since it's mahjong tiles, doesn't it represent mahjong?"

"Then it is obvious that the so-called motive for the murder was actually a dispute caused by mahjong!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the conference room.

Especially Yokomizo Sango, who was a fan of Kogoro Mori, nodded in sudden enlightenment.

When Kogoro Mouri saw that his reasoning received a good response, his expression became more confident, and he began to explain with his right hand on his waist.

"The suspect left behind one and seven bamboos, which actually means that there were eight people in total participating in the game."

"There are two dots in the seven cylinders that are not painted red because one of them represents the suspect himself, and the other represents the final victim."

When Megure, who was sitting on the other side, heard this, his face suddenly became uneasy and he asked, "Will he continue to commit crimes if that's the case?"

"Yes, it should." Kogoro Mori nodded confidently.

At this time, Shiratori asked: "But if there are 8 people in the game, wouldn't it be better to use eight bamboo sticks to represent it?"

Faced with doubts, Maori Kogoro still looked confident, hugged his shoulders and explained: "In fact, I use one and seven barrels because there is another meaning..."

"That's right! The suspect originally wanted to use these two cards, the one and the seven, to win the game!"

"This is a great card that can turn the situation around in one fell swoop!"

"oh--!"

Kogoro Mori's reasoning once again caused a response.

Especially Yokomizo Sango and Yamamura So, they immediately followed this line of thought and thought that the murderer was furious because he did not get these two cards.

"That's right!"

"According to my speculation, the other people were probably very unruly, so the suspect couldn't stand it anymore..."

"This should be the suspect's motive for the crime."

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting in a chair and watching Maori Kogoro's performance silently, couldn't help but smile slightly.

As expected of Kogoro Mouri, he can talk nonsense seriously in this kind of situation.

This kind of big heart ability is not something that ordinary people possess.

Qin Zhibo looked at the mahjong information card made by the police, and an investigation point had already emerged on it.

But even without reading the contents of the investigation, he knew that this case had nothing to do with the entertainment activity of mahjong.

Although sometimes reasoning pursues simplicity, Kogoro Mori's simplicity is too great.

But then again, if Ireland was eavesdropping on this meeting, Kogoro Mori's misleading information might have been effective.

Because as long as Ireland is led astray by Kogoro Mori, he can find the suspect first and get the memory card.

But there are so many police here, there must be some normal people...

Sure enough, as soon as Kogoro Mori finished speaking, Saitama Prefecture policewoman Ogino Ayami raised her hand to ask a question.

"Excuse me, how do you explain the English letters on the back of the mahjong tiles?"

Yamato Gansuke also asked mercilessly: "And why did the murderer deliberately move the victim to another place to kill him?"

Gao Mu also showed his initiative and raised his hand to ask, "Also, how do we explain Ryuzaki's message before his death?"

This series of questions left Kogoro Mori stunned and he was unable to save himself for a while.

But two seconds later, Kogoro Mouri showed his big heart talent, turned his head to the side, and muttered softly.

"About these questions..."

"I'll think about it slowly later..."

Upon hearing this, the police officers in the conference room immediately felt an air of unreliability.

But even so, other police officers could not offer any constructive suggestions.
