The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1170: Don’t offend those with connections

Chapter 1170: Don’t offend those with connections
Yuan Tai frowned at Conan's pretentious behavior and was the first to express his dissatisfaction in his heart:

"I am the leader of the Junior Detective Team, so why is it that Conan is the one who takes all the limelight?"

"If this continues, will I still have the dignity of the Junior Detective Team?"

Thinking this in his mind, Yuan Tai immediately asked suspiciously: "So you didn't buy these clams from a seafood store?"

"Bakayarō!" Conan was immediately unhappy: "What on earth are you thinking? How could I possibly do such a thing?"

Yuan Tai looked unconvinced and looked at the bucket he was carrying: "Look, we didn't find any clams, how come you were able to do that?"

"You must have sneaked out to buy these clams!"

Ai Huihara looked at Conan who was arguing with the elementary school student with dead fish eyes. She looked at Conan with contempt and nodded, saying, "There are indeed people who do this because of vanity or something!"

"What the hell, I have a trick for this!!"

Conan immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, and in order to prove his innocence, he immediately began to demonstrate his operation: "Just use a handle to loosen the sand soaked in sea water, and when the sea water floods this place, the clams that are lighter than the sand will float up by themselves!"

"When there is no wet sand, the clams will extend their water-sucking tubes out of the sand, leaving small holes on the beach..."

"Just dig along these little holes and you'll find quite a few clams!"

"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Conan dug out several clams from the beach, showed them, and then saw several small figures suddenly disappear.

After listening to Conan's tips, the little ones ran straight to dig clams, not giving him any chance to show off.

Conan was speechless after seeing this: “…” After you’ve tricked me, you’re just going to run away, right?

At least let me pretend!!!

He turned his head to look at Huiyuan Ai beside him, showing dead fish eyes: "So you are using provocation to trick me, to sneak attack, so as to trick me into finding out how I dig clams, right?"

"Have it?"

Huihara Ai shook her head with a smile on her face: "Aren't you trying to prove that these clams you bought weren't from a seafood store?"

"I'm quite excited about the proof."

Conan: “…” I’ve been fooled again… Damn little Huibara brat!
Fujino looked at the two of them, and suddenly asked, "So Conan, where did you learn all this?"

"Of course I learned it in Hawaii..."

"Hawaii?"

"nothing."

Conan felt that the issue of Hawaii was too complicated to explain, and it was very likely that this guy Fujino Laodeng had dug a trap for him again, so he immediately changed the subject and ran towards the little ones.

Ai Huihara watched Conan run away, put her hands behind her back, raised her eyes and whispered to Fujino: "Now that we know the trick, let's go dig some clams quickly, otherwise the clams they dig here and there may not be enough for tonight's meal."

"Yeah, too."

Fujino nodded when he heard this, and ran to the side with Haibara Ai to dig clams.

…………

"You two dug up a lot!"

After digging for a while, the two men returned with a large bucket full of clams. When Dr. Agasa saw the two men coming back, he looked at the clams in the bucket and said with some concern: "But you dug a little too much, didn't you?"

"The rule here seems to be that each person can only take away 2 kg of clams. If you dig more, it will be in vain. They won't let you take it away."

"The rule is indeed two kilograms."

Fujino nodded, then smiled and said, "But it doesn't say you have to dig it yourself."

Huihara Ai nodded in agreement: "Anyway, Dr. Agasa, you didn't dig anything, and those kids didn't dig much either, so why don't we just give them some of our clams?"

"The cost of taking away two kilograms of clams has already been calculated. The ticket price we paid is equivalent to buying these clams, and we can even buy more than these."

Conan: “……?” So my moral standards are too high?

He lowered his eyes to look at the 2kg of clams in his bucket, and suddenly felt that his clams were a little tasteless.

He also wanted to show off his ability to precisely control the number of clams.

The result is a clown!

But fortunately, I haven't said it out loud yet.

There is still room to secretly dig two.

Fujino looked around at this time, but didn't see any of the little ones. He asked in confusion: "But where did they all go?"

"They've gone to get some food. They won't be gone for a while until you two come back."

"We're back!"

Before Dr. Agasa could finish his words, a few little ones came running towards them carrying a big bag.

Huihara Ai looked at the contents of their bags, looking helpless as if she was watching a child go out to help her mother buy soy sauce but ended up buying a bunch of snacks: "So you bought these Kamen Ultraman chocolate gummy candies and potato chips just for the free figurines inside, right?"

"It's a free gift after all, what does it matter?"

"And these things are delicious, Ai-chan!"

Genta and Ayumi argued, while Mitsuhiko looked around and asked curiously, "By the way, where are those four people from before? Why are they gone?"

"They've gone back."

Dr. Agasa put his hands behind his back and recalled the compliments from those people: "They also took away all the garbage they created. There are really few young people nowadays who can protect the environment like them..."

"four people?"

At this time, Fujino asked Dr. Agasa in confusion.

Just now, he and Xiao Ai went to dig clams, and he didn't really pay attention to which unlucky guys these little ones were going to kill.

With four people, it must be a multiple-choice question with three choices, right?

"Yes yes yes!"

Ayumi then explained with a smile: "Those are some older brothers and sisters. They are here to dig clams, too. They are a group of four who love shellfish very much!"

Yuan Tai rubbed his stomach and said, "It's because they eat bento that I feel hungry."

"But when it comes to one thing, their reactions suddenly become wrong."

Conan touched his chin and said something in a deep voice. Then he slowly walked to the beach, picked up a rake and said to everyone, "Especially that fat guy, he even forgot to take the rake away in his panic."

As he spoke, he demonstrated it: "There is that person's blood on this rake, so it must be that person's. After all, when we saw him just now, wasn't he sucking his fingers?"

"It must have been scratched by the shell."

The little ones nodded when they heard this, and immediately asked Dr. Agasa, "Dr. Agasa, how long have they been gone?"

"Just a few minutes ago..."

"If that's the case, let's hurry up and catch up!"

“They must still be in the parking lot right now!”

"Hey, wait for me, they might have already left!"…………

The few little ones were so excited that they ran to the nearby parking lot like rabbits that had been let go.

Then, we found the four people they mentioned.

As soon as they got closer, they were shocked to find that the fat man mentioned just now was dead in his car.

Dr. Fujino Agasa and Haibara Ai followed closely behind.

When Fujino approached, a system prompt sounded in his ears: "A new system task has been detected, please check it!"

[System Task: Dead Clam Boy]

[Task Summary: The clam digging boy died in his car, and there were three companions around him. As you might expect, this is another classic three-choice session]

[Mission objective: Please find the murderer who killed the clam boy]

[System Reward: 500 million yen, 500 detective reputation, 5 detective coins]

Fujino glanced at the system task and then looked towards the crime scene.

The dead 'Clam Boy' was a fat man wearing a fishing hat, with his eyes wide open and saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth. From his appearance, he looked like a very honest and simple person.

His companions were two women and one man.

Several people were wearing the same orange hoodies. One of them was a woman with a melancholy look, long black hair and a white sun hat. Another woman had a melon-shaped face, short hair and a red fisherman's baseball cap, which made her look a bit cool. The only remaining man had a square face and a chin, and wore a headscarf on his head, which gave him a nondescript feeling.

Fujino took out his work ID from his personal space without any delay and showed it to several people.

"Metropolitan Police Department consultant..."

"Fujino Doji?"

"Just call me Fujino."

Looking at the surprised people, Fujino responded and then asked, "So what is going on?"

"Is such that……"

…………

"He came here to dig for clams... and you stayed on the beach to clean up the trash, and he came back first, and when you came over you found that he was dead?"

"There was a taste of almonds in the deceased's mouth, and then the bottle of drink fell next to it."

"So the deceased died because he drank poison like cyanic acid, right?"

A sturdy man with a buzz cut and wearing a dark brown suit stroked his chin and looked at the body. He glanced at Fujino standing beside him and said with a slightly unhappy tone: "So, why did you start questioning the suspect before the police arrived?"

"Well, since you have to interrogate me anyway, I'll do my job and introduce myself..."

"No need for you to introduce yourself. I know you. My stupid brother told me about you. You are the famous detective Fujino and the consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division, right? Fujino, right?"

Yokomizo Shigego's expression was not very good, and he sighed: "Although you are a consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department, and strictly speaking you are also a colleague of our police, but you have no law enforcement authority in Kanagawa, do you understand?"

"of course I know."

Fujino nodded. "According to Article 59 of the Police Act, when prefectural police perform duties outside their jurisdiction, they must notify the local police headquarters in advance and accept requests for assistance from the local headquarters."

"You still do this knowing that?"

"But according to Article 37 of the Criminal Law, if it is to prevent the suspect from escaping, the evidence from being lost, or to protect lives, the police in other places may take temporary emergency measures to protect the crime scene, and then hand it over to the local police. I am protecting the crime scene. Although I am not a police officer, I can also protect the crime scene."

Yokomizo Shigeo: “…” Why do I feel like I’m being tricked by the other party using legal provisions?
You actually bully a criminal policeman who doesn't know the law!

Yokomizo Shigego was left speechless by this explanation based on extended legal regulations, and he could not refute it even if he wanted to.

After all, he is just a criminal policeman, not a lawyer.

Who would have the leisure to memorize all the provisions of the Police Law and the Criminal Law?

"As expected of a literary consultant, he can only use legal provisions to bully us military officers."

Yokomizo Shigego complained in his heart but didn't say much. Although compared to his brother Yokomizo Sango, his attitude towards the detective was not very good, the other party was a consultant after all, and could be considered a half-colleague in the police system.

It's not good to give someone a cold shoulder.

What's more, there might be someone above this guy.

He couldn't help but recall the last Nagano Prefecture police officer who had arrested this guy directly, and who has now been transferred to a police station on a deserted island.

You must not offend those with connections.

Then he started to question the people who were traveling with him.

The victim, Xiaopang, is named Ushigome (yu) Tsunefu, a college student, 21 years old.

The woman with short hair was named Mitsue Yashima, she was 20 years old and also a college student. She was the one who took out the drink and handed it to Ushigome.

The girl with long hair is called Hisatsu Koko, also a college student, 21 years old. She just handed Ushigome the potato chips and didn't touch the bottle.

As for the man wearing a turban, his name is Takashi Mitsuse, and he is a college student, also 21 years old this year. He just threw a rice ball to Ushigome.

The three men seemed to have no motive for committing the crime, and they all said that Ushigome committed suicide.

In order to confirm the statements of several people, Shigego Yokomizo also asked the witnesses at the scene, Conan and Dr. Agasa.

He immediately confirmed that no one had a motive to kill, and said, "In that case, this case is suicide?" This was his conclusion.

This effective operation by the Neon Police was called a classic by Fujino.

In the past, many public intellectuals boasted about how powerful the Japanese police were and how high their crime-solving rate was. In fact, the high crime-solving rate was due to the cases being closed by suicide. For example, in the past, Japan did not have so much police force and energy to solve any difficult cases, and failure to solve the cases would affect their performance, so they would simply label the case as a suicide and end it.

Naturally, there are many unjust, false and wrongful cases caused.

But so what?

Who in the hall is suing me?

At this time, the little ones stared with their eyes wide open, constantly looking at the policeman with a crew cut in front of them.

This inexplicable look made Yokomizo Shigeo angry: "Hey, what are you looking at, you little brats?"

"What's your name, officer?"

"You don't have a brother who's also a policeman, do you?"

"For example, it's called Henggou Canwu..."

The little ones were startled and stammered.

Upon hearing this, Yokomizo Shigego stroked his chin and asked suspiciously, "You are probably talking about my unreliable brother, right?"

"Brother?"

"So you're Officer Yokomizo's brother?"
