The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 276 Fishing

More than a week has passed since the last incident.

Because the antidote no longer worked, Conan once again turned back into Conan.

Well, it sounds a bit strange, but it is true.

However, the good thing is that Xiaolan is in a better mood. Perhaps it is because she got the response she wanted when Kudo Shinichi came back last time. Now Xiaolan seems to have a second spring in her life.

Of course, at this moment she would naturally not associate Conan with Kudo Shinichi.

However, this really makes life difficult for Conan. He has to find time every day to talk on the phone with Xiaolan in Kudo Shinichi's voice without letting Xiaolan find out.

The ordinary days went on one after another. Hattori Heiji returned to Osaka, Conan accompanied his girlfriend every day, and Hakuba Matsu still treated work as a tea party, reading books and drinking tea.

On this day, the Metropolitan Police Department.

At the meeting of the Criminal Investigation Division 3, Bai Masong looked at the three photos in front of him and frowned.

"It seems that the murderer specifically targeted young girls dressed in this style."

"That's right,"

Officer Megure nodded.

"This is already the third vicious incident this month, and the police station below decided to hand it over to the Metropolitan Police Department for this reason."

Logically speaking, it is not Inspector Megure's turn to handle a case like this. After all, the various jurisdictions under the Metropolitan Police Department are not maintained for nothing.

However, as the frequency of the criminal's crimes gradually increased, there was a concern that if he continued like this, the case would escalate, so the case was transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, which has a stronger police force.

"Tell me what you think."

As the department head, Inspector Megure directly assigned the task of thinking to his subordinates.

"Nothing to think about,"

Bai Masong said lightly,

"This type of case is different from those methods and tricks. This type of random violent case can only be solved with a large number of police forces."

“There’s no other way.”

"Is it like this?"

Inspector Megure had a headache.

In fact, with a highly intelligent police officer like Hakuba Matsu around, Inspector Megure now prefers cases involving criminal tricks.

Cases like this that require a large number of police forces to investigate are truly time-consuming and laborious, and even if they are completed, the merits may not be much greater than those of previous cases.

"Nothing."

Bai Masong changed the subject.

"We can also find some details from these photos, which can help us find the murderer."

"Let me start with this. You see, the rings, necklaces, and bracelets of these victims all have one or two of the same things."

"My guess is that it came from a store, or a department store. If we find it, we can narrow it down."

"it is good!"

Inspector Megure led the applause.

Then, he looked at the other people present with expectant eyes.

Shiratori Renzaburo thought for a moment.

"The news from the police station earlier said that the victims all said that the criminal this time was about the same height as them."

"According to the information, it looks like this prisoner is between 1.5 and 1.55 meters tall."

"wrong,"

Bai Masong shook his head.

"All of these victims were dressed in the same way, and I saw that they were all wearing very high thick-soled shoes. When they were attacked, they were probably wearing shoes, so the height of the criminal should be increased by another ten centimeters."

"Makes sense."

Inspector Megure nodded again.

Afterwards, everyone discussed how to arrest and search.

The question raised by Bai Masong before was also investigated by his subordinates, and it was discovered that it came from a department store.

Finally, the conclusion was to have Sato Miwako wear the same outfit and hang around the department store, while the others would wait for an opportunity and be ready to arrest her at any time.

The plan this time is simply called fishing.

.................................

The next day, in the afternoon.

Near the Haido Department Store, Sato Miwako was walking casually with a blonde wig on her head and heavy dark makeup on her face.

There is a small earphone next to her ear, covered by the golden wig.

The people connected to the headset are naturally Inspector Megure and Hakuba Matsu and others from the third department.

Emotionally, Bai Masong didn't want to use Sato Miwako to fish, but rationally speaking, if he didn't allow it, would Sato Miwako definitely not do it?

Moreover, they are all criminal police and have actually been prepared to charge into battle.

This kind of thing is inevitable.

Moreover, Bai Masong was not far behind Sato Miwako, and Sato Miwako's fighting skills were also quite good. Unless the criminal was armed with a gun, the danger would not be great.

At this time, Miwako Sato walked to a telephone booth and she suddenly remembered that a victim was attacked next to a telephone booth.

So, Miwako Sato also walked into the phone booth, picked up the phone, pretended to dial, and then walked out after a while.

However, when she walked out, she noticed from the corner of her eye that a man wearing a windbreaker and a knitted hat was following her, and he looked a little creepy.

"Officer Megure, there's a suspicious person behind me."

Miwako Sato whispered into the headset.

"Yeah, we saw that too,"

Officer Megure immediately replied,

"Go forward a little further, test him, and lead him into our encirclement."

"Yes."

Sato Miwako replied.

As she spoke, Sato Miwako continued to walk forward, while always keeping her attention behind her.

At this time, the wretched man behind him had also been surrounded by the Metropolitan Police Department.

Inside the encirclement, Inspector Megure was hiding deep in the garbage dump, Takagi Wataru came around from the alley on the other side, and Hakuba Matsu and Shiratori Rensaburo were sitting in a car parked on the side of the road.

Just as Inspector Megure and others were still observing, the man moved!

His face flushed, he walked up quickly with a frivolous voice and put one hand on Sato Miwako's shoulder.

"Miss, you..."

Miwako Sato grabbed his wrist, then leaned forward and held the man's chest.

Bai Masong in the car felt that the man looked very familiar. After a second, he suddenly realized and shouted into the headset,

"Hey, wait a minute, this is..."

However, it was too late.

Inspector Megure shouted at the same time in his headset,

"action!"

As he said that, he jumped out from the garbage pile. Takagi Wataru at the entrance of the alley and Shiratori Renzaburo in the car also jumped out at the same time and ran towards the man.
