The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1220 Uncle Ba: Great minds think alike

Don't be angry, don't be angry!
You can't get angry at a child who obviously lacks love...

I am a high school student!
Conan comforted himself in his heart.

He paused and forced a smile: "So did he light the cigarette after he found the lighter?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Zhu Guqiao stroked his chin and thought, "Then he got into the car next to him and drove away."

"What about the model of the car, and what does he look like?"

"It was a dark car, and the man was wearing a hat, so I couldn't see him clearly..."

"But I saw clearly that he was drawing on his hands!"

“That was a nail that felt scary.”

"By the way, outside the car window, I also saw a big glowing hammer!"

Two primary school students were talking.

Fujino crossed his legs and began to try to piece together the clues in his mind.

According to the current situation, Xiao Hei should have killed Itagaki, put him in his bag, and drove into the river.

Also with tattoos.

This is in line with the classic operation of the Black Society, where they kill people and sink them into Tokyo Bay.

However, the act of lighting a cigarette in front of children to relieve tension does not show that one is an expert in handling corpses.

Must be a newbie.

Friends who often kill people know that killing requires speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. Kill the person quickly, hit the vital points accurately, and prepare the body in a state that is most suitable for disposal.

If this had been handled properly, how could anyone have left its head exposed and discovered it?

Chop some green onions, smash some garlic and add it in, then cook it in a pressure cooker. The taste is not much different from boiled lamb, except that it is a little astringent, and the muscle fibers are thicker and harder to chew...

But this is not a problem. We can use pipe cleaner to dissolve the remaining bones and completely destroy the body. Why bother with so much effort?

Fujino has already given a clear positioning to this time's rice cake man Xiao Hei in his mind.

However, it is probably a bit impossible to solve the case based on these abstract clues.

The code is still as obscure as ever.

Fujino thought about it and felt that there was no need to think about these things.

Why not just call Brother Megure and ask him whether Itagaki's body has been found?
Based on the principle of calling Brother Megure if there is any problem.

Fujino took out his cell phone and called Brother Megure.

Brother Megure, who was handling a case at the crime scene, received a call.

When he heard that Brother Fujino had found a witness to the case of the body that was found this morning, Megure Jusan became excited.

After all, this incident has a huge social impact, and he is still thinking about how to solve it.

Now my brother can solve it with just one phone call.

It's like handing you a pillow when you feel sleepy!
I can only say that, worthy of being Brother Fujino, he is very efficient.

It’s simply a magic tool for brushing KPI!

After a sigh in his heart, he asked, "Brother, I'm handling other cases outside now... Go to the Metropolitan Police Department and call Sato and ask her to help with this case."

"No hurry." Fujino said calmly: "This witness is a little young, and there are some things he can't explain clearly. Even the place where the body was dumped has not been found yet, and he may not be able to go to the Metropolitan Police Department for the time being."

"Is that so?"

Megure paused, "If that's the case, I'll let Sato go over and help you. Sato happens to be working on a case right now, so you don't even have to come to the Metropolitan Police Department."

"Well, I'll give her a call later."

Fujino responded and then hung up the phone.

When he looked up, he saw that the people who had been asking Zhu Gu for a long time had not made any progress.

After all, Zhu Gu Qiao is just a child and his logical thinking ability has not yet developed.

What he says is somewhat inconsistent.

Naturally, Kogoro Mori could not understand such a messy description.

He immediately began to suspect whether this little brat was talking nonsense to him.

Hondou Eisuke, who had been standing silently by the side, looked quietly at Hashiratani Takumi in front of him, as if thinking about something.

He seemed to have thought of something, walked forward, put his hand on the other person's neck, and then asked: "What you said is actually a lie, right?"

"In fact, you didn't see what you just said."

"I definitely saw it, I'm not lying!"

Zhugu Takumi's tone was still firm. Hondou Eisuke squinted his eyes and smiled cheerfully like a young boy: "It seems that this kid is not lying!"

"Hey, how did you know that?"

"It's just that my dad used to do this to me when I was a kid, so I learned it over time!"

Facing Xiaolan's curious question, Hondou Eisuke scratched his hair and said with a smile: "Even I feel it's so magical, it's just like a magic trick."

“This isn’t magic.”

Fujino put his phone in his pocket. "It's just a lie detection test based on the heartbeat, breathing rate and micro-expressions of the other person. When people lie in a panic, they will unconsciously have some instinctive reactions. This method is a test of such reactions."

As he said that, Fujino glanced at Hondou Eisuke: "But your father actually used this kind of trick against you. Could he be a policeman?"

"Well..."

Hondou Eisuke smiled awkwardly: "Come to think of it, I don't know what he does either."

"is it?"

Fujino stroked his chin and looked at Hondou Eisuke: "Could it be a spy from a foreign force that sneaked into Japan?"

"How is this possible!"

Hondou Eisuke quickly waved his hands: "Spy stuff is really too exaggerated!"

"Too……"

Fujino nodded, thinking that Hondou Eisuke probably didn't know that his father was a double senior agent of the CIA winery, and he probably didn't know that his sister was a CIA agent either.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have investigated the relationship between his sister and Rena Mizunashi.

Now, this guy came to me just to test me and get information about his sister...

"What kind of lie detection method is it? Is it accurate?"

Maori Kogoro stretched his neck, not quite understanding the polygraph test. "So is what this kid said true?"

Fujino thought for a moment and said, "This thing is useless for people with good mental qualities, but it is still somewhat useful for children."

"At least what Xiaoqiao brother said is true."

Fujino explained, "I just called Megure, and he said a body was found in the Tiwujin River this morning. It was Itagaki's."

"Is this really true?"

"I said I didn't lie!"

Kogoro Mori smacked his lips, feeling as if he had been slapped in the face.

But at this moment, Conan frowned and stared at Hondou Eisuke, his thoughts drifting thousands miles away.

He was thinking about the relationship between Hondou Eisuke and Mizunashi Rena.

Just before, when he was discovered while following Rena Mizunashi, the other party used this method to touch him.

He didn’t take it seriously at the time, but now it seems like a lie detector test…

The most important thing is that no matter from his appearance or his techniques, this guy must be related to Rena Mizunashi!
Conan reduced his presence and lay dormant, intending to see what Hondou Eisuke was going to do.

…………Ti Wu Jinhe is a veteran actor in the world of science.

For example, the accomplice of the murderer who had fake marriage between Takagi and Yumi Miyamoto was killed by the river. The evidence destroyed by Chiba Xiaopang was also destroyed in Tiwujin. James was also kidnapped in Tiwujin. The Tiwujin River was also involved in the Dark Star incident.

Fujino felt that throwing corpses into the river or burning them was really low-class.

Evaluation: Not as good as sewer unclogging agent.

After hearing that Fujino had found a witness, Sato Miwako rushed to the scene and reunited with everyone, intending to find the place where the body was dumped according to Mr. Hashiratani's memory of the route he took to the shrine to attend the New Year's festival.

Mr. Zhu Gu patted his chest and assured himself that he remembered the way.

Then after he got on the road again, he didn't remember anything.

"..."

Everyone was speechless and felt that this person was a bit weird.

It’s bad enough that he can’t remember where the body was dumped, he even forgets the route.

What kind of talent is this?

My son is better than me, okay?

Are you still a rice flower person?

It's a disgrace to rice flower!
Fujino also silently agreed with this.

Although this was a normal phenomenon in your previous life, if you were suddenly asked which road you drove on a long time ago, it would be impossible for you to remember it.

But in a place like Mihua, where every person is a super Mihua person, with excellent memory and fighting ability.

Being too normal is actually an abnormal behavior.

I can only say that we Mihua people are just like this.

We are all rice cakes. How can you, an ordinary person, get so much respect?
…………

There are three bridges across Tiwujin to reach the shrine.

Since Zhu Gu had a very poor memory, everyone could only check them one by one.

They are Beihu New Bridge, Beihu Central Bridge and Beihu Bridge.

"It's a classic three-choice thing, right?" Fujino couldn't help but complain.

Standing on the Beihu New Bridge, looking at the two bridges in front of him, Zhugu Qiao crossed his arms over his chest, looking embarrassed:
"I do not remember……"

"..."

Everyone looked at the child in front of them and fell silent again.

Why does this child take after his father at this time?

Hondou Eisuke looked at the bridge in the distance, thought for a moment, and came up with a good idea: "Little brother Zhugu, did you see the fireworks at that time?"

"If we see the fireworks, we can determine which side the person who dumped the body is on!"

Xiaolan thought at this time: "Speaking of which, Zhugu brother seemed to have said that he heard the sound of fireworks, so he must have seen the fireworks. It is very likely that he mistook the special-shaped fireworks for hammers!"

"Speaking of which, I went to see the fireworks show that day."

At this time, Sato Miwako suddenly said: "There are no hammer-shaped fireworks at the scene, only round flower clusters."

"Sato, do you have time to watch the fireworks show?"

"Because there was a murder case at the place where I watched the fireworks that day, I watched the fireworks after I dealt with the murder case."

"That's okay."

Fujino was a little curious at first as to why Sister Sato had time, but when he saw the resentful look on her face, he immediately understood.

It turned out that he was slacking off while working overtime.

Miwako Sato: How can this be called slacking off? I completed the task ahead of time. This is called a strategic rest!
Everyone made some guesses, but Zhu Gu finally refuted it, saying that although he heard the sound that day, he did not see the fireworks.

Mr. Zhu Gu also echoed this, saying that he was in the middle lane at the time and encountered a traffic jam that day, and the scenery on both sides was blocked by the cars on both sides.

"So how did this kid see the body being dumped when both sides were blocked by cars?"

After hearing this, Fujino thought about it for a moment and complained secretly in his heart.

Seeing that the kid from Zhugu hadn't remembered anything after looking around for a long time, everyone moved and drove to the nearby Beihu Central Bridge.

The result was naturally the same. The kid said: "I still can't remember..."

"So is this the place?"

Maori Kogoro showed dead fish eyes and couldn't help complaining: "This father and son are so confused that they might have found the wrong three bridges from the beginning. If they found the wrong ones from the beginning, how can they find them?"

Upon hearing this, Fujino, Momiji, Xiaolan, and Xiaoai all turned their eyes to the father and son of Zhutani and nodded at the same time, feeling that what Brother Maori said made some sense.

These two don't look very smart.

Completely different from the rice flower man.

Hondou Eisuke kept looking at Fujino out of the corner of his eye, as if he was observing something, with a serious look flashing in his eyes.

While Hondou Eisuke was observing Fujino, Conan was also observing Hondou Eisuke, and his expression gradually became serious.

"This will cause trouble..."

Sato Miwako did not participate in this. She recalled the clue that Fujino had just relayed and sighed, "Now the only clue left is the nail tattoo. It is too difficult to find it, not to mention that the other party is a celebrity. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but complain: "Damn it, why don't we have to register our tattoos? If we did, it would be easier to identify the murderer..."

"Don't worry."

Fujino patted Sato Miwako on the shoulder and said, "We will always find a breakthrough in the case."

Miwako Sato curled her lips upon hearing this, thinking to herself, "How can I not be anxious? Inspector Megure has given this case to me to handle. If I handle it slowly and get pressured by public opinion, the higher-ups will put pressure on me..."

Retracting her thoughts, she turned to Fujino and asked, "So, did your detective intuition work? Did you get any inspiration?"

"It's not that easy."

Fujino shook his head slightly: "I have never been good at secret codes."

As he said this, he looked at the code reasoning girl Xiaoai and Conan: "Let them handle this case. I'll also wait for the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole to come."

Miwako Sato couldn't help but complain: "You are hiring child labor, right?"

"Huh? What about employing child labor? Did I pay them?"

"If I pay you, it's not considered child labor!"

"So it's a good thing you're not a capitalist." Sato Miwako drooped her eyelids and said helplessly, "If you were a capitalist, you would be hung on a telephone pole the next day, just like you always joked about before."

"Jingle Bell!"

Just as Fujino and Sato were talking, Xiaolan's cell phone suddenly rang.

As soon as she answered the phone, she heard a girl's loud shouting:
"Hey, Xiaolan, did you hear that?!"

"ROCK is dead!"

“ROCK is dead—!”

"...?"

Are you the Ghost Gardener from Michael's Dance?

Listening to the voice coming from the other end of the phone, Fujino couldn't help but recall the time in his previous life when he was wearing a black tights and shouting, "It's so hot, brother!" while spinning on the spot.

Xiaolan couldn't help feeling ashamed when she heard her best friend's sad roar.

She just wanted to remind the silly boy Yuanzi that he had turned on the loud speaker...

As a result, she was defeated with a zero-frame attack.

Thinking that in order to prevent her best friend from getting into trouble, she thought it would be better not to tell her.

If she didn't know that she was socially dead, she wouldn't feel socially dead.
