The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 202 Joint Investigation

Metropolitan Police Department, 2:12 p.m.

"Tap tap tap, tap tap tap..."

The white horse pine walked forward with steady, regular, but eager steps.

Along the way, the air was filled with a terribly oppressive dullness that made people feel suffocated and uneasy.

A shadow enveloped everyone, and everyone's face was filled with a solemn and murderous aura.

The dullness in the air was like a huge rock, pressing down on Baimasong's heart, making his steps heavier, yet hurried and urgent.

At the door of the conference room, even though the conference room had super soundproofing equipment, it still couldn't block the roars coming from inside. Odagiri Toshiro's upright and irritable voice came from inside.

"Check! Check it for me!"

"Where's the clue?! It's been so long, why is there only this little clue?!"

"72 hours! Only 72 hours! This murderer must be brought to justice! I will sentence him to death!"

Bai Masong pushed open the door of the conference room without hesitation.

In an instant, all the police officers in the conference room looked in the direction of Bai Masong.

Bai Masong looked around. The police officers who were having the meeting here ranged from a department manager at the level of superintendent to the criminal department director Toshiro Odagiri at the level of superintendent.

There was an undisguised murderous look in their eyes, and the bloodshot around their eyeballs were clearly visible.

There were two expressions on everyone's face. One was the sadness and grief over the death of their colleague, and the other was the fierce murderous intent towards the murderer!

Seeing Baimasong coming in, everyone calmed down the violent and murderous atmosphere.

Odagiri Toshiro pointed to an empty seat nearby and said,

"Inspector Baiba is here, please sit down."

"Ah."

Bai Masong nodded, walked to the chair and sat down.

Seeing Hakuba Matsu sitting down, Odagiri Toshiro immediately spoke to Matsumoto Kiyonaga,

"Inspector Matsumoto, please tell Inspector Hakuba about the situation we have now."

"Ok."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga stood up and said,

"Two murders occurred in Tokyo this morning."

"According to the descriptions of several children present, at around 9:12 this morning, Inspector Narasawa Osamu of the Third Department was shot while making a phone call."

"The murder weapon was a 9mm caliber pistol. Because the distance was very close, the murderer accurately shot Inspector Narasawaji in the heart and killed him on the spot."

"There was no surveillance camera at the scene of the crime. In addition, it was raining at the time and the murderer was wearing a raincoat, so we did not get any clues about the murderer's appearance."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga paused and continued,

"Subsequently, at 10:10 this morning, a concerned citizen reported that a body with a police officer's ID was found in the parking lot."

"We quickly dispatched police to the scene."

"After confirmation, we have determined that the deceased is Patrol Chief Ichiro Shibayo, who is also a third-level police officer. The time of death was around 9 o'clock last night, and the murder weapon was also a mm caliber pistol."

"After comparing the ballistics, we determined that the pistol that killed the two people was the same. Therefore, it is sufficient to conclude that the murderer who killed the two people was the same person."

Narazawaji, Shibayo Ichiro...

Wait, Shibayoichiro?!

Hearing this name, Baimasong's eyes narrowed and he had a guess in his mind.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at Baiba Song's expression and knew what he was thinking, so he nodded slightly and said,

"That's right. We now suspect that the murderer who killed Chief Inspector Shibayo Ichiro and Inspector Narasawa Osamu was the murderer who attacked Inspector Megure and others."

"How confident are you?"

Bai Masong asked in a deep voice.

"Ninety percent."

Odagiri Toshiro, who had been listening quietly, spoke in a deep voice,

"Ninety percent sure."

Now, Bai Masong knew why he was sitting here.

Logically speaking, all the police officers here are of the rank of Superintendent and above, so there should be no place for him.

Now it seems that the reason why he can sit here is not because he is the son of the Superintendent General, but because he himself is in charge of the case of Inspector Megure and others.

He had the latest clues about the attack case involving Inspector Megure and others, so naturally he had to be brought into the meeting.

After Odagiri Toshiro said affirmatively, Matsumoto Kiyonaga explained,

"The reason why we think so is certainly not because there is a "一" in the name of Patrol Chief Shibayo Ichiro."

"It's because we found at the scene where Officer Shibayo Ichiro died that he was holding a police handbook, and inside the police handbook was a 1 of spades."

Bai Masong's expression suddenly became serious when he heard what Matsumoto Kiyonaga said.

The spade represents death, and the 1 represents the character "一" in Shibayo Ichiro's name.

It seems that he is undoubtedly the murderer.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga didn't know what Hakuba Matsu was thinking, but continued,

"In addition, we discovered that the character '沢' in Inspector Nara Sawaji's name has an eight character under it!"

"And, when he called, the last number in the phone booth was exactly 8!"

!

Listening to what Matsumoto Kiyonaga said, Hakuba Matsu frowned.

Is this explanation too far-fetched?

"Why didn't the murderer leave behind a playing card or other items like he did in the previous cases?"

Bai Ma Song raised a question.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga explained,

"I think it's probably because there were too many people around when the murderer assassinated Inspector Narasawa Osamu."

"Moreover, Conan and several other children who reported the case saw Inspector Narasawa fall down, and immediately chased after him and shouted to remind the public to catch the murderer."

"So, the murderer might have been nervous and failed to leave the complete poker information, but just pressed a number as a mark in the phone booth."

After listening to Matsumoto Kiyonaga's explanation, Hakuba Matsu still felt it was a bit far-fetched, but he was able to accept it to some extent.

I only heard Matsumoto Kiyonaga continue to say,

"Moreover, after a whole afternoon of investigation, we did find some commonalities among these people."

"That's——Mouri Kogoro!"

"Inspector Megure is an old colleague of Maori Kogoro. They had a very good relationship back then, and it is still the same now. Their relationship has lasted for nearly 20 years. It can be said that Inspector Megure is one of Maori Kogoro's best friends."

"Ms. Kisaki Eri, it goes without saying that this is Kogoro Mori's wife."

"Dr. Agasa, he also knows Maori Kogoro. Dr. Agasa's neighbor is Kudo Shinichi, a classmate of Maori Kogoro's daughter, and they seem to be in a relationship."

"Moreover, Conan, who is now staying at Maori Kogoro's house, is also a relative of Dr. Agasa."
