Chapter 755 My daughter was framed!
Kogoro and his friends went to the Nagano Prefectural Police Station in the car driven by Yui.
After the car drove off the avenue, Sato, who was sitting in the left back seat, asked, "How did Inspector Yamato end up in the hospital in Yamanashi after he was caught in an avalanche 10 months ago?"
Yamato, who was sitting in the passenger seat, rested his chin on his hand while looking out the window and answered, “I’ve been thinking about this.”
"What?" Sato leaned forward and asked involuntarily.
Instead of the silent Yamato, Yui, who was sitting in the driver's seat, spoke up this time: "It seems someone rescued Inspector Yamato from the avalanche."
"Don't you know who that person is?" Sato asked.
Yui looked at Sato through the rearview mirror and answered, "Yeah."
"It seems that the man called an ambulance using a public phone at the foot of the mountain, but no fingerprints were detected on the phone," Yui said.
The car turned on the left turn signal and stopped at the intersection. Kogoro leaned forward from the back seat and asked, "How is the man named Yuchu arrested by Inspector Moruobushi now?"
"Of course he was sent in again." Yamato answered.
This time, it was Sato who asked, "Is Takashi Washito, who was arrested eight years ago, still serving his sentence?"
"Suito...is not serving his sentence." Yamato answered while looking out the window, frowning bitterly.
In the taxi on the way to the observatory, Conan eavesdropped on the conversation between Kogoro and others through the signal receiver on the leg of his glasses.
Lan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was very excited when she saw Mount Fuji in the distance and kept taking pictures with her mobile phone.
"Although both Mikuni and Washito were sentenced to three years in prison, Washito was given a suspended sentence." After hearing Yamato's words from the signal receiver, Conan widened his eyes in surprise.
Why is there such a big difference in the verdicts…?
"So Jiutou has not served any sentence and is always a free man..." Yui's voice was drowned out by the noise and soon nothing could be heard.
This is because the distance between Kogoro and the others who were heading to the Nagano Prefectural Police Station was getting farther and farther and was beyond the signal reception range.
Is the distance so far?
Conan took out his cell phone from his pocket and started texting Takagi, but soon he realized that Takagi was with Kogoro at the moment.
But after thinking for a while, Conan turned his phone back to the previous screen and sent a text message to others.
Several customers came into the "Polar" coffee shop located downstairs from the Maori Detective Agency.
The waiter Azusa Momoto was in charge of taking orders, while the part-time worker Toru Amuro was brewing coffee at the counter.
"Ms. Azusa, sorry to bother you." Amuro put the coffee cup on the tea table on the counter.
"Okay." A Zi put the cup and saucer on the tray and walked towards the seats for the female guests.
At this moment, the cell phone in Amuro's pocket vibrated.
Amuro turned his back to the guest seats and glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, which showed "Edogawa Conan".
About an hour's drive from Sakudaira Station, you can see the National Astronomical Observatory Nobeyama.
In the area where snow still remains, what particularly attracts the eye is the group of small parabolic antennas called radio heliographs. The sight of dozens of parabolic antennas lined up in a row is truly amazing.
"Oh!"
“There are so many parabolic antennas!”
The children who were watching through the car windows all had their eyes sparkling: "This is amazing! There are more antennas than the doctor's house!"
"Of course." Hearing Genta's words, Dr. Agasa, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Wow, look!" Yuan Tai, who was sitting in the last row of the station wagon, pointed forward and shouted, "That antenna is so big!"
What can be seen through the windshield is a millimeter wave measuring machine with a huge parabolic antenna with a diameter of ten meters. Under several large parabolic antennas, wide railway tracks are laid, running through the entire area.
"Teacher Ochi, is this place used for running trains?" Ayumi asked when she noticed the railroad tracks.
"It's not the train, it's the parabolic antenna that's in operation."
"What! Can something that big run?"
"That's it!"
Just when everyone was surprised, Mitsuhiko, who was sitting next to Yuanta, suddenly shouted: "Ah!"
"Look! That parabolic antenna is bigger than the one here!"
Looking in the direction that Mitsuhiko pointed, I saw a huge parabolic antenna standing over there, much larger than the millimeter wave interferometer. It was a 45-meter antenna radio telescope known as the world's largest aperture.
"Really! It's so big!"
The parabolic antenna, with a diameter of 45 meters, is always facing the sky as if looking up at the clear blue sky.
Nagano Prefecture does not have a police headquarters building. The Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters is located on the ninth floor of the prefectural government building.
As soon as Kogoro and his friends entered the lobby on the first floor, they saw an elderly man making a noise in front of the reception desk.
"Shut up! That's not the case. I said call Yamato Gansuke over!" An older man in work clothes, a hat, and a long and thin box hanging on his shoulder was banging on the reception desk and shouting.
"Please calm down for a moment." The policeman came over and held the older man's shoulders to comfort him.
At this moment, the man noticed Yamato walking into the hall.
"Ah, it's you!" The man tried to walk towards Yamato, but was stopped by the police in time and said, "Please wait."
"It's okay. Thank you." Yamato saluted the policeman, who returned the salute and left.
The older man gave Yamato a stern look, "Hasn't Ryuji been found yet?"
Kogoro, who was standing next to Yamato, whispered to Takagi: "Waishu... is he the criminal from eight years ago?"
"Yes, the one who was sentenced to probation at that time--" Takagi said.
The older man heard the conversation between the two: "Yes, that despicable guy who disappeared!"
"Disappeared?" Sato murmured.
This made Yui react: "After the probation period is over, immediately..."
Yamato took a step in the older male's direction, "As I've said many times before, the police cannot search for Washito because once his probation is up, he will be considered to have paid for his crimes."
"You must be kidding!" The older man flicked away Yamato's right hand that was pointing at him, "Are you saying that the crime of killing Maki has been paid for?!"
“……..kill?” Maori was a little surprised.
"Is it Ms. Funakubo Maki, the victim of the case eight years ago?" Sato asked.
Kogoro and Sato looked surprised, Yui approached the older man and gestured with her hand, "This is her father, Mr. Funakubo Eizo."
“!!!” Kogoro and others widened their eyes.
Takagi took a step forward and said, "Maki was just injured at the time, but she didn't die, right?"
According to the case records, Maki Funakubo was only injured in the foot by the knife dropped by the murderer and should not have died.
“No.” Yamato denied, “…she died that year.”
"What?!" The three of them raised their voices involuntarily. Funakubo looked at Kogoro and the others and explained, "Maki used to be a biathlon athlete (cross-country skiing and rifle shooting)."
"Biathlon?" Kogoro frowned.
"It is a competitive sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting and is also an Olympic sport..."
In response to Sato's explanation, Funakubo nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. Maki's injury at the time caused her performance to plummet, and she was excluded from the list of enhanced designated athletes for the Olympics... However, the two guys who injured Maki, one was sentenced to three years, and the other was even only sentenced to probation... How can such a light sentence be accepted!!"
As Funakubo accused, he thought of Maki.
In order to return as soon as possible, Maki, who had an injured foot, worked hard on rehabilitation training. Even during the injury, she did not neglect the maintenance of the skis. However, her injured right leg did not recover, and Maki could no longer ski like before the injury.
She shed tears of regret————
Yui said with a serious face, "Maki was so desperate about the verdict that she fell off a cliff while skiing."
"A fall accident..." In response to Kogoro's murmur, Yamato denied it, "No."
"She left a suicide note," Yamato said.
"Is it suicide?" Maori asked.
"It wasn't suicide." Funakubo said bluntly, "It's no different from being killed by someone. They killed Maki!"
Kogoro and the others said nothing, just looked at Funakubo whose fists were clenched and shaking.
Since a suicide note was left behind, it was most likely suicide, but it was obvious that Funakubo was unwilling to admit it, and directed his sadness towards the criminals who injured Maki.
Funakubo said excitedly: "That's why I came here. To get clues about Washito and find Washito...!"
"I've said it many times. Even if I have a clue, I won't tell you!" Yamato stared at Funakubo with sharp eyes.
“…Here you go again?” Funakubo glared back at Yamato, then turned and left.
Yamato and the others watched Fukubo's back as he walked away. As Fukubo walked through the automatic door of the entrance, a man in a suit walked towards them from the direction of the elevator.
"Hmph. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge." The man with raised eyebrows, very narrow eyes, and a mustache said this while looking in the direction of the automatic door, then came to Kogoro.
"There's a saying in Chinese history books that no matter how many years have passed, resentment will never disappear - long time no see, Mr. Maori."
"Oh, this is Inspector Morofushi." Sato and Takagi nodded slightly after Kogoro's introduction.
The two of them actually knew Morobushi Takaaki before. At that time, a package addressed to Takaaki was found in the locker of a senior from the Investigation Section 1, Date Kou, and Takagi and Sato handed the package to Takaaki.
Gao Ming seemed to recognize the two of them and nodded in response. Then, he said to Kogoro, "Regarding the murder of Inspector Sametani in Tokyo, we learned that he had visited the Yamanashi Prison to meet with Mikuriya who was serving his sentence there."
"!!!!!!"
Everyone widened their eyes in surprise when they heard this.
