Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1352 A good man has a safe life

Shinsuke Akiyama's car is a blue Suzuki, an economical model.

This is quite consistent with his character as a small inspection minister...

Qin Zhibo sat in the passenger seat.

In the driver's seat, Shinsuke Akiyama controlled the steering wheel with both hands, while keeping his eyes on the road ahead, he kept glancing at the famous detective next to him out of the corner of his eyes.

"Excuse me, is there something on my face?"

Qin Zhibo suddenly spoke, which scared him.

"No, no..."

Akiyama Shinsuke calmed down, smiled kindly, and asked tentatively, "I'm just a little curious, how is Mr. Qin's investigation going on with this case?"

"Mr. Qin just said that there is no clue to the case, but I think there must be some clues, right?"

"Tell me about it? Haha..."

Akiyama Shinsuke laughed twice to cover up his guilty conscience.

In fact, he just wanted to know the progress of Qin Zhibo's investigation.

Although he is still very confident in his skills, and everything has been going exceptionally smoothly so far.

However, Qin Zhibo is a famous detective after all, and is an unstable factor off the field.

Therefore, he planned to take advantage of this time to find out what this person thought about the case.

If he noticed something was wrong and it affected his plan, then his car would not be a ride but a "hearse".

As he thought about it, a hint of imperceptible ferocity flashed in Akiyama Shinsuke's eyes.

"As for the case..."

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, did not refuse Akiyama Shinsuke's question and started talking freely.

"At present, I agree with the other police officers in Nagano Prefecture that the police officer named Yamato Gansuke is the most suspicious."

"Although you have great trust in Officer Yamato, I still have to say that all the clues now point to him."

"As for eyewitnesses, someone saw Officer Yamato appear near the location where Team Leader Takeda's body was burned this morning."

"As for physical evidence, you left so quickly just now. In fact, not long after you left, Officer Kuroda brought the latest information from the Forensic Science Division..."

"It is said that Officer Yamato's fingerprints were found on the rope used to hang Kano Akira."

This is a lie. The fingerprints on the hanging rope have not yet been found.

But Qin Zhibo directly predicted the results of the evidence search and told him the results.

Anyway, this kid's plan now is to deal with Yamato Gansuke, and he will definitely not call the police headquarters to inquire, so as not to expose his whereabouts.

"Y-really?"

"It turned out to be like this..."

After hearing what Qin Zhibo said, Akiyama Nobusuke was stunned and looked shocked.

In fact, he was secretly delighted because even the famous detective fell into the logic he had set up.

However, he had to act fully, so he continued to pretend not to believe it and hurried to explain on behalf of Yamato Gansuke.

"But didn't Yamato touch the rope when he lowered Mr. Shikano's body?"

"It's normal to have his fingerprints on the rope!"

Akiyama Shinsuke's voice was a little excited. If someone didn't know the truth, they would really think he was defending Yamato Gansuke.

But every word of his defense was to completely identify Yamato Gansuke as the murderer.

"No, Yamato Gansuke only touched the upper rope loop. He never touched the lower rope loop..."

"And it was the rope loop at the bottom that detected the fingerprint."

Then, Qin Zhibo said sympathetically: "Although I know you feel very uncomfortable, unfortunately, the murderer is most likely Yamato Gansuke."

"Now they plan to question Officer Yamato once he returns from outside."

"Of course, please keep this absolutely confidential..."

Qin Zhibo pretended to be mysterious and made a hushing gesture.

"Oh, um..."

Akiyama Shinsuke pretended to be lonely, lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, my identity is first and foremost a policeman."

"If Yamato is really the murderer, I have no choice but to bring him to justice."

"Even though he was my first teacher on the road to becoming a police officer..."

Such hypocritical words of justice made Qin Zhibo feel sick.

But Qin Zhibo still did not hesitate to praise him and gave him a thumbs up.

"Well, good job!"

"Nagano Prefecture is lucky to have a police officer like you~"

……

After a while, Qin Zhibo asked Akiyama Shinsuke to park the car on the side of the road.

"Okay, I'll get off here, thank you."

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."

Qin Zhibo opened the car door and was about to get out when he looked back and said, "By the way, I'm planning to buy a car soon. What car do you recommend?"

"Eh?" Akiyama Shinsuke looked surprised, "Mr. Qin, don't you have a car?"

Qin Zhibo nodded, "Of course. After all, land in Tokyo is very expensive, and a parking space is not cheap."

Akiyama Shinsuke: “That’s right…”

Qin Zhibo continued, "But I just found a parking space recently, and I'm looking for an economical and durable car..."

"I think your car is pretty good, but I wonder how much space there is in the trunk?"

"Can you open it so I can see the space inside..."

Faced with Qin Zhibo's request, Akiyama Nobusuke was stunned.

"The trunk?"

"Yes, yes..."

Just as Akiyama Shinsuke was about to get off the car, Qin Zhibo reached out to stop him.

"You don't have to get out of the car, just open the trunk and take a quick look..."

Akiyama Shinsuke's eyes changed slightly, his expression became wooden, and he turned around and pressed the button to open the trunk.

"Thanks."

Qin Zhibo thanked him, got out of the car and walked to the rear of the car.

Akiyama Shinsuke stared at the right rearview mirror with a stiff expression until Qin Zhibo disappeared behind the car, then the corners of his mouth gradually rose into a sinister smile.

Haha, you are indeed a famous detective...

Was everything I just said just to make me let my guard down?

It turns out the real purpose of the ride was to check my trunk...

But I'm afraid to disappoint you, there's nothing in my trunk.

Akiyama Shinsuke's face was gloomy as he stared at the opened trunk lid in the rearview mirror.

He is now certain that Qin Zhibo has listed him as a suspect, so he came to check the trunk of his car.

  But how could I be so stupid as to put the incriminating evidence in the trunk of a car?

In order to complete his next plan, he really needed some shameful props.

But those props have already been placed at the target location, how could anyone be stupid enough to carry them with them?

Humph, stupid detective.

When you learn of my "death" later, you will realize how ridiculous your suspicion of me is...

  Be ashamed! Be upset!

Shinsuke Akiyama kept staring at the rearview mirror inside the car.

After a while, the trunk lid was lowered, and Qin Zhibo's figure appeared in the rearview mirror and waved at him.

Humph……

Didn't find anything?

Akiyama Shinsuke chuckled, then stepped on the accelerator and sped away in a cloud of dust.

Soon, he drove to the door of a nearby beauty salon. This beauty salon was run by his mother-in-law, who lived on the second floor and the main business was on the first floor.

It's already evening and the beauty salon on the first floor has long been closed.

He went to the bedroom on the second floor, put on the sports hoodie he had prepared long ago, and said goodbye to his mother-in-law who was watching TV in the living room.

"Ah Xin, are you still going out so late?"

"Well, there is a scene that needs to be visited."

Shinsuke Akiyama walked up to his mother-in-law and knelt on one knee.

"Mother-in-law, I'm going to go to Wife and Daughter Mountain next."

"If I don't come back tonight, don't wait for me and go to bed early..."

As he was speaking, Akiyama Shinsuke felt a little sore in his eyes.

Because he knew that this departure might be a farewell forever.

The statute of limitations for murder in Japan is 15 years.

As long as the criminal can avoid prosecution during these 15 years, the law will not retroactively apply for previous crimes.

Akiyama Shinsuke's next plan is to use the trick of escaping and completely make himself a "dead man" in this world.

Because I am also a member of the Takeda Group, if I am the only one alive in the end, I will definitely be suspected.

And now it seems that the famous detective has already begun to doubt himself, and the wrongly accused Yamato Gansuke will sooner or later realize that it was a trap set by him.

Therefore, I must "die".

Only through death can one completely get rid of doubt.

But if this happens, I will have to wait 15 years before I can meet my mother-in-law again.

Maybe things will have changed by then.

  But to avenge Yan Zi, it's all worth it!

"Goodbye, Grandma."

"Take care..."

Akiyama Shinsuke stood up, took one last look at his mother-in-law's kind face, then turned and left.

But the mother-in-law did not hear the heavy tone in Akiyama's words, and just casually reminded him, "Come back early and don't get too tired."

……

After leaving home, Shinsuke Akiyama drove straight to Mt. Tsuma-no-Yama on the edge of Nagano Prefecture.

Tsuma-nv Mountain is one of the ancient battlefields of the Battle of Kawanakajima and is also the scene where the "Woodpecker Strategy" was used.

At that time, Uesugi Kenshin stationed his troops on Mount Tsuma-Nyonyama. Yamamoto Kansuke, the military advisor on the side below the mountain, suggested to Takeda Shingen to use part of the troops to attack and the other part to set up an array on Kawanakajima and wait for those who fled down the mountain.

However, Kenshin Uesugi saw through this plot and took the initiative to attack Takeda's main army in Kawanakajima, defeating the Takeda army.

Although Takeda Shingen later turned defeat into victory, the "Woodpecker Plan" is still a classic example of a plan that failed despite careful planning...

After driving for about twenty minutes, Akiyama Shinsuke arrived at the mountain cabin located in the back mountain area of ​​Mt. Tsuma-no-Yama.

As soon as he parked the car in front of the cliff at the back of the mountain, his cell phone began to vibrate and buzz.

When he took out his phone, he saw that it was a call from Mamoru Saegusa from the police station.

Just now, when we were driving up the mountain, Mamoru Saegusa called us no less than 10 times.

The purpose of the call, of course, was to confirm my whereabouts.

  I guess he should have discovered that he was heading to Wife and Daughter Mountain?

"Humph……"

Akiyama Shinsuke snorted coldly and began to arrange the scene.

He put his phone back into ring mode, blocked Yamato Gansuke's number, and threw it into the grass near the cliff.

This is a necessary step to further put the blame on Yamato Gansuke.

Then he returned to the edge of the cliff and checked the bushes on the cliff.

Among the lush bushes growing on the cliff, there was a headless corpse wearing the same clothes as him lying in the shape of a "big" character.

This is Shinsuke Akiyama's "escape plan".

Later, in front of everyone, he would pretend to be tied to the car slowly driving towards the cliff by the murderer and then pulled to the bottom of the cliff.

When others come over to check, they will see that their "head" and "body" have been separated.

Of course, the "head" was made from a wig display model from a beauty salon.

The body was that of Team Leader Takeda.

The burnt body with only one toe left found under the bridge this morning was actually the robber that the Takeda Group was supposed to catch.

This morning's arrest operation was in vain. In fact, Shinsuke Akiyama caught the robber last night and killed and dismembered him.

The body of one of them was burned under the bridge as the body of Team Leader Takeda.

Team leader Takeda, who was of similar size to him, was used as his stand-in and hung on the cliff.

Although this would not allow him to avoid DNA testing, as long as the police did not immediately recover the body hanging on the mountainside, he could put Team Leader Takeda's body and the robber's head into the burning car that fell off the cliff and burn them.

This way, no one will know...

"hehe."

Akiyama Shinsuke sneered again and tied a rope to the back of his Suzuki car.

He took out the fake head made using the wig head model from the beauty salon and the fake plasma bag from the mountain cabin and put them into the hood of his hoodie.

Then he used the woodpecker's foot to dip in the blood plasma and printed it on his forehead.

Once everything is ready, all that's left is waiting.

……

A purple-pink sedan was speeding on the winding mountain road.

Sitting in the passenger seat of the car, Uehara Yui asked Zhufu Takaaki who was standing beside her.

"Gao Ming, why do you put the spare tire on the back seat?"

Zhu Fu Gaoming concentrated on steering the wheel and replied calmly, "I don't know why my tires keep bursting recently, so I took it out to make it easier to change tires..."

Hearing this, Uehara Yui was silent for a while.

Soon, several cars stopped in the open space in front of the mountain cabin.

The people who got off the car were Kuroda Hei, Uehara Yui, Morobushi Takaaki, and Saegusa no Mamoru.

Since Yamato Gansuke could not be contacted again and Qin Zhibo also withdrew, there were fewer people this time.

Zhu Fugaoming, who was walking in front, looked around the mountain hut with a flashlight, but did not see anyone.

"It looks like Officer Akiyama isn't here."

"There's no other way. It seems I can only search around here..."

As soon as Sanzhishou finished speaking, a familiar scream was heard not far away.

"what!"

"Someone is coming!"

The four of them were shocked and quickly followed the direction of the sound.

I saw a green car moving slowly forward on the edge of the cliff.

At the rear of the car, Akiyama Shinsuke had a rope tied around his neck, with the other end of the rope connected to the rear of the car. He was being dragged towards the cliff like a pig.

"Help, help!"

"help me!"

Several people were so shocked by the situation that they stood there in a daze, and for a moment they even forgot to go forward to rescue.

Akiyama Shinsuke gritted his teeth as he was dragged along, sending out his final message.

"Hand, cell phone!"

"My cell phone!"

Akiyama Shinsuke's heels left two long drag marks on the ground.

He was so desperate to leave clues that he was like a good policeman who was willing to sacrifice his own life for justice.

However, at this moment, the trunk of the car suddenly opened from the inside, and a man in a brown windbreaker sat up from inside.

The next second, the man waved his hand and used a knife to help cut the rope tied to the car.
