Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1424 Cooperation

After leaving the doctor's house, Qin Zhibo called Sato Miwako.

The two sides exchanged phone calls after the Kinoshita Tomonori case.

Sato, who was working on the other side, was also a little surprised when he saw that the call was from Qin Zhibo.

Although the two had each other's phone numbers, when encountering ordinary cases, Qin Zhibo would call Memu directly.

Besides, we just met at the search meeting this morning. Could something happen suddenly now?

She picked up the phone and asked in confusion: "Mr. Qin, what can I do for you?"

"Is there anyone else around you now?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Sato could tell that Qin Zhibo's tone was serious, and guessed that he might be saying something that was inconvenient for others to hear.

She glanced at Takagi Wataru who was sorting case materials not far away, then turned and walked to a corner a little further away.

"There's no one here now, just tell me what you want to say."

Seeing that Sato understood quickly, Qin Zhibo was quite satisfied.

Among the grassroots police officers that she often comes into contact with in the Metropolitan Police Department, Sato Miwako is considered to be relatively shrewd.

"I have something to discuss with you regarding the case at today's search meeting."

"Let's meet downstairs at my office tonight at 9:00, okay?"

Sato hesitated for a moment and answered in a deep voice.

"can."

"See you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Sato Miwako fell into a brief contemplation.

Want to discuss that serial murder case with me alone?

  Could it be that he has found a clue to this case?

But why didn’t you say it at the investigation meeting just now?

Although she was somewhat puzzled by Qin Zhibo's behavior, she still decided to keep the appointment in order to solve the case.

……

At 9:00 that evening, Sato Miwako arrived on time.

The red RX-7 is parked downstairs of Zhibo Detective Agency, and it is parked together with the red Mustang convertible, which is quite coordinated.

Miwako Sato looked up at the three-story office building and saw that although the blinds on the second-floor windows had been drawn, there was still light inside, so she went straight to the second floor and knocked on the door.

Du, du.

A few seconds later, the door opened.

"Hello, Officer Sato."

"Welcome to my detective agency."

Qin Zhibo said this while extending his right hand.

The sudden sense of formality made Sato stunned for a moment, and he could only reluctantly stretch out his right hand.

"Hello……"

The two held hands together, and Qin Zhibo immediately began to investigate.

【Survey√】

  Name: Sato Miwako

Gender: Female

Age: 28

……

After confirming that the basic information was correct, Qin Zhibo let the person in.

"Please take a seat."

"Let me get you a glass of water."

Qin Zhibo walked to the water dispenser, took a cup of ordinary plain water in a disposable paper cup, and brought it to Sato.

"Thank you."

Sato took the cup of water and then showed a serious expression.

"Mr. Qin, if you have anything to say, just tell me..."

"Have you found any clues about the serial murder case?"

Qin Zhibo sat on the sofa opposite and did not talk about the case first, but asked Sato instead.

"Officer Sato, do you remember what I told you before, that there might be a mole in the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Hearing this topic, Sato's eyes changed slightly and became more serious.

"Remember, last time you said there was a traitor, it was because someone in the Metropolitan Police Department might have leaked the itinerary of escorting Tomonori Kinoshita to Gunma Prefecture, right?"

"I then investigated what you said. Although not many people know the escort plan directly, the escort arrangements involving major criminals will be reported to the higher-ups and stored in the database."

"So if they are willing to investigate, in theory most police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department can find out on their own."

Although Qin Zhibo only proposed a "hypothesis" at the time, Sato did conduct a serious investigation afterwards.

However, the Metropolitan Police Department is the largest organization among Japanese police forces, and its personnel composition is quite complex, including grassroots police, criminal police, public security police, etc.

With Sato's level, an individual can only investigate to this extent.

"Well... you've done pretty good."

Qin Zhibo groaned for a moment, then changed the subject, "What I want to say is that the traitor might have also set his sights on this case."

"Is this case...a serial murder case?" Sato confirmed.

Qin Zhibo nodded slightly. "At present, this insider should be aware of the progress of the police investigation at all times, so I can't express my reasoning at the daytime search meeting..."

"But according to my speculation, this case may soon see a key turning point."

"Within these two days, someone claiming to be an insider of the case may contact the police. If this happens, I would like to ask Officer Sato to notify me as soon as possible."

Hearing Qin Zhibo's request, Sato's expression froze and he was thinking in his mind.

Sato actually felt a little strange that Qin Zhibo said nothing during the day, and did not even refute Maori Kogoro's reasoning.

At that time, she actually didn't quite agree with Kogoro Mouri's reasoning that the victim and the murderer were "Mayou". It was really too ridiculous.

However, due to Kogoro Mouri's sometimes "wise but foolish" behavior, she couldn't say anything.

However, in every case that Qin Zhibo participated in, there was no ups and downs like that with an outrageous start and becoming a god in the later stage. He was able to make correct inferences at all times.

This time, Qin Zhibo rarely chose to remain silent.

It turns out that he is an undercover agent in the Embankment Police Department...

"Mr. Qin, do you mean the spy was also involved in the search meeting during the day?"

"more or less."

"I want to know what your basis is for saying this?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the basis for this yet..."

Facing Sato, whose expression changed slightly, Qin Zhibo still replied with a serious expression: "The issues involved are very complicated, but I believe you will know in the near future."

"The mole should be at the police search meeting, and disguised as someone you are familiar with."

"This means that someone you are familiar with may have been kidnapped. If you want to rescue this person, you must do as I say..."

Originally, when Sato heard Qin Zhibo's initial answer, he wanted to refuse.

Although she also wanted to trust Qin Zhibo, she couldn't doubt her colleagues without evidence.

However, when she heard that someone around her might have been kidnapped, she still felt compassion.

If a colleague dies because of my non-cooperation, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life.

Moreover, she also wanted to know the truth of the whole matter, and only by following the path provided by Qin Zhibo could she know the truth.

"Okay...I promise you."

"But you also need to tell me what you have deduced so far about this case."

"This small request should satisfy me, right?"

The corners of Sato's mouth rose slightly, and his eyes were filled with confidence.

If the partner chosen is Takagi Wataru, Qin Zhibo really has to consider whether that person's big mouth will leak the news.

But Sato is Sato after all, and he is much more reliable than Takagi Shigeru.

"can."

"But you have to make sure you don't tell these theories to anyone."

"That includes Officer Takagi..."

……

Metropolitan Police Department, a high-level office.

A figure sat at a desk, facing the Metropolitan Police Department's internal population search system, and entered the name "Edogawa Conan".

When the name was entered, the screen paused for a moment waiting for a response, and then a large page popped up. Edogawa Conan, male, 7 years old.

The school is Teitan Elementary School, the address is 2-22, Beika-cho, and the temporary address is 5-39, Beika-cho.

Father: Edogawa Yoshisaku

Mother: Edogawa Fumiyo

……

A series of basic information about Edogawa Conan was reflected in his dark pupils.

In addition to the basic information that everyone has, below are the names of various cases, all of which involve the name "Edogawa Conan".

There are hundreds of entries in this section alone.

The figure sitting in front of the computer had his pupils widened and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

He scrolled down and continued searching for entry and exit records.

Edogawa Conan——No entry or exit record.

Then he deleted "Edogawa Conan" in the search box and changed it to "Kudo Shinichi".

There are many people named "Kudo Shinichi" across the country, but it is not difficult to find that person.

Kudo Shinichi, male, 17 years old.

The school is Teitan High School, and the address is 2-21, Beika-cho.

  Father: Yusaku Kudo

Mother: Yukiko Kudo

……

There are also about a hundred case entries under this name.

Further investigation of the entry and exit records also revealed a string of related entry and exit records.

I started going abroad at the age of 7, with the most visits being to Hawaii in the United States.

The last time I went abroad was a trip to London, England some time ago.

And the entry records also show that "Kudo Shinichi" has returned to Japan.

Seeing this line of information, Ireland's mouth curled up into a ferocious smile.

He took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Lord Rum, I have found a situation that may interest you..."

"explain."

The voice on the other end of the line came from a voice changer, so deep and hoarse that it was impossible to tell the difference.

"It's the high school detective Kudo Shinichi who was killed by Gin with that drug before. He is very likely still alive now."

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone. "Go on..."

"I searched the population search system within the Metropolitan Police Department and found the entry and exit information of 'Kudo Shinichi' and discovered that he had been to London not long ago."

"Someone close to this 'Kudo Shinichi' also said that he had seen him in London."

"So I think it was Gin's mistake that caused Kudo Shinichi to be still alive..."

There was silence for another two seconds, and then the person on the other end of the phone suddenly spoke.

"Are you the only one who knows about this?"

"Yes."

"Well, don't tell this to anyone else, including 'that adult'."

Ireland was stunned at the request.

The reason why he told the second-in-command Rum was because he wanted Rum to report it to the higher-ups and completely wipe out Gin in the heart of "that adult".

Although Gin is dead now, Ireland is very willing to do even this insignificant revenge.

This was also to avenge Gin for killing Pisco, who was like a father to him, at the Haido Hotel.

But unexpectedly, Rum asked him to hide the matter.

"Then Kudo Shinichi..."

"Don't worry about it."

Rum's voice suddenly became short, and even through the voice changer, one could still hear the severity in his voice.

Ireland quickly shut up and didn't dare to say anything else.

"Continue with your mission and don't get involved in this matter anymore."

"Yes, Lord Rum."

The call ended and Ireland frowned.

Revenge on Gin has always been his long-cherished wish.

But from what Rum said, it seemed that he wanted to suppress this matter.

  Is Gin Rum's man?

impossible……

Ireland shook his head lightly. Everyone in the organization knew that Gin was "that lord's" loyal henchman and one of the few organization cadres who could contact "that lord" directly.

Therefore, only by completely revealing this matter to the boss of the organization can Gin's reputation be completely ruined.

Not only that, as long as he finds out the whereabouts of Kudo Shinichi and helps the organization get rid of this person, his rank will also be promoted.

There is no more satisfying revenge than using your enemy's mistakes as a stepping stone for yourself.

In that case, I certainly can't listen to Rum.

Be sure to continue investigating!

……

A day later, the police held another search meeting.

"Eh? You don't play mahjong?"

"Yes."

Shiratori held the investigation report in his hand and said, "According to the results of the investigation, the six victims so far do not usually play mahjong..."

Upon hearing this result, Kogoro Mori was visibly disappointed.

Most of the police officers present were mentally prepared for this situation and did not show much emotional fluctuation at this moment.

Sato glanced at his colleagues gathered in a circle, a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

Compared to yesterday, today's investigation meeting had significantly fewer participants, with only 12 people, including Metropolitan Police Department police officers and police representatives from other places.

As for the special advisor, only Kogoro Mori was present.

Because Qin Zhibo said the day before yesterday that even if he attended the meeting he would not be able to provide any reasoning, so in order not to arouse suspicion it would be better for him not to attend.

The traitor should be among them...

After a brief discussion, the Nagano Prefecture police representative, Yamato Gansuke, leaned on a crutch to the side to answer a phone call, and came back and said.

"There is good news..."

"The male suspect in the serial murder case may appear in Beihua City."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Megure screamed and stood up.

Yamato Gansuke took out a photo from his arms and pushed it to the table.

"His name is Minoru Fukase, he's 27 years old. He stabbed and seriously injured Shuhei Jinno, who was killed in Usui Ridge, a year ago. He is currently wanted."

"I sent my men to monitor his girlfriend. I just learned that his girlfriend came to Tokyo from Nagano and got off at Beika Station..."

"This woman is Risa Yoshii, 21 years old, and she's a hostess at a small bar in Nagano."

"I suspect that the purpose of Yoshii Risa's visit to Tokyo this time is to meet with Fukase Minoru."

Yamato Gansuke also showed the photo of the woman.

Manager Matsumoto took the photo and looked at it, then raised his head and asked, "What was the motive of this man named Fukase to stab Jinno?"

"It is said that when they were waiting in line at the Tropical Park, Jinno asked him to put out his cigarette and he became resentful..."

Hearing this, Gao Mu, who was standing at the back, had his eyes light up and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Tropical Paradise..."

"Could it be!"
