The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Chapter 248 Six Remains
A yellow cordon was drawn outside a forest [-] kilometers away from downtown Tokyo. Several police cars were parked on the muddy road outside the crime scene. The faces of the police officers present were not very good. This has not happened in Tokyo for a long time. A vicious case.

Two police officers from the Forensic Division who appeared on the scene for the first time couldn't bear it anymore. They lay down next to the police car and vomited. They probably didn't have the appetite for lunch today.

Ritsu Sasashima rushed towards the crime scene while wearing white gloves. He smelled a strong smell of blood before he even got close. He looked at the forensics section police officer who was taking notes and asked aloud: "Is there any confirmed victim?" identity?"

When the police officers from the Forensic Division saw the police department in charge of the case arriving at the scene, they quickly reported: "The identity of the victim has been confirmed. He is a sophomore at Hokkaido National High School. Police Department, all the belongings of the victim have been placed here. .”

Ritsu Sasashima looked at the makeshift table with many items placed on it. He picked up his student ID card and read the contents clearly, then frowned and said, "Why do high school students from Hokkaido appear in Tokyo? It shouldn't be now." During school?"

"We have contacted the relevant personnel of Hokkaido National High School, and at the beginning of the second semester, we organized a school trip for second-year students. The victim Mizusawa Himika disappeared on September 9, and the Metropolitan Police Department also Filing of disappearance case.”

Was he killed while on a school trip? He disappeared on September 9, and his body was found on September 2... but there was no obvious body odor.

"Wow-"

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of vomiting. Sasashima Ritsu turned around and saw Takagi Wataru's back hurriedly running towards the outside of the cordon. It was exactly as he expected. Takagi, who had seen such a vicious case for the first time, would contribute his breakfast to the earth.

He was not in a hurry to see the state of the body, but after checking Mizusawa Himika's belongings, he walked towards the mutilated body that was lying on its back.

The body was missing, and the broken neck section was neatly cut, and it could be seen that it had been cut with a knife.

Sasashima Ritsu's gaze moved downwards, landing on the victim's chest.Combined with the hunting shotshell inside the relic, it seems that he was killed by a shotgun blast. The complete shattering of his ribs proves that he was shot at close range.

"If you can't stand it, stop watching it. Don't force yourself."

Hayasaka Yuna tried her best to focus her eyes below the neck. After hearing Onizawa's words, she stubbornly bit her lips, took a deep breath and said: "I can do it, sooner or later such a scene will happen, I was mentally prepared when I became a detective.”

"Then what if more such corpses appear at the same time?"

"What... what do you mean?"

Ritsu Sasashima had long noticed Hayasaka's pale face, and he didn't even dare to look at the corpse, so he didn't notice such an obvious difference.

He pointed to the victim's right hand and said solemnly: "Didn't you notice the stitches on the right hand? And each finger comes from a different person, with different degrees of corruption."

Hayasaka Yuna was startled when she heard this. She lowered her head and looked at the victim's right hand, only to realize that all five fingers had been sewn together. The thumb was the most severely corrupted, and the little finger was the least corrupted. And judging from the finger bone structure...this little finger should not belong to a woman.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, she clenched her fists and said in disbelief: "So...there are at least five corpses besides this?"

"Well, this case is unusual. We have to ask the Metropolitan Police Department to send police dogs to assist in the investigation." Ritsu Sasashima stood up, half-squinting his scarlet eyes, looking into the depths of the forest...the forest after the rain. The damp inside makes the earthy smell worse.

I hope the evidence has not been washed away by the rain, and the remaining remains may be buried somewhere in the forest.

"There is no need to contact the Metropolitan Police. The body has been found."

This familiar voice made Sasashima Ritsu's eyes pause. He turned around and saw a familiar face. He really didn't expect him to appear here.None of the previous cases were serious enough to require the ace of the forensics class to take action. Sure enough, can he be seen in vicious cases?

The medium-length black hair is tied into a braid at the end, and the slightly long bangs cover the black eyepatch on her right eye.He wears white gloves on his hands and the cuffs of his light blue shirt are lifted up. Six years has been enough time for him to complete the recovery from the skin grafting surgery.

Ritsu Sasashima couldn't see their faces clearly when he was visiting the grave in February to avoid sight, but now he can meet them again as Takashi Onizawa.Shouldn't he be grateful, if it weren't for Rum's plan, he wouldn't change his identity, and return to the Metropolitan Police Department openly.

"Are you Police Officer Hagiwara, the ace of the forensics department?"

Hagiwara Kenji took out a small iron box containing strawberry-flavored chewing gum.After experiencing an explosion six years ago, he successfully quit smoking, which saved him a lot of money.

"You can't be called an ace, but I do know your reputation in the Onizawa Police Department."

"Oh?"

Hagiwara Kenji showed the same hearty smile as before, took off his white gloves and put the chewing gum into his mouth. While chewing, he said: "Onizawa Police Department is really humble. I don't dare to compare with your [-]% case detection rate... But I think the way you handled the 'Popcorn Wolf Case' was quite interesting, and you actually thought of using outside public opinion and the absence of key evidence to get Miss Nishitani to have her sentence commuted."

The case of Rice Wolf.It seems that Hagiwara suspected that he had destroyed key evidence?I have long heard that Kenji Hagihara from the forensics department has the habit of checking files and looking through them. It seems that he thinks that there is something wrong with his handling of this case.

It's still the same as before, this keen insight... I'm afraid I want to study myself thoroughly.

"Thanks for the compliment, but now is not the time to be polite."

"Well, Onizawa Police Department, please come with me." Hagiwara Kenji was about to lead the way. As if he remembered something, he turned to look at Hayasaka Yuna and said with a smile: "You better not go, Hayasaka-chan, I'm afraid you'll have nightmares at night!"

Hayasaka Yuna hesitated for a while, but finally chose to compromise.According to Onizawa Takashi's analysis, I am afraid that the other corpses will also be in a mutilated state. This is the first time she has been exposed to such a case, and she is indeed a little overwhelmed.

"I didn't expect you to be quite gentle." After walking a few meters away, Sasashima Ritsu took the initiative to chat.

"You really have to be gentle with girls, otherwise you will become unpopular." Hagiwara Kenji reached out and patted Onizawa's shoulder, and chuckled: "But you are an exception. Being handsome can make up for it!"

Sasashima Ritsu didn't know how to answer the conversation for a moment, whether he should be humble or accept the compliment, but this guy was obviously beating around the bush and accusing himself of having low emotional intelligence and not being gentle to girls.

Just as he was thinking about his words, a strong corpse smell wafted over.Ritsu Sasashima frowned and looked at the dug out remains. It was exactly what he thought. The heads of the five corpses had disappeared.

"The five bodies were all found under this tree, and the murderer didn't pay much attention when burying them. They were buried very shallowly," explained Hagiwara Kenji.

"Can you confirm their identities?" Ritsu Sasashima asked.

"The identities of two people can basically be determined. They have library cards from the Toto University Library. We can confirm their identities by checking the female students who have not been to school for a week or so." Hagiwara Kenji sighed deeply, viciously Cases are always something the detective doesn't want to face. He reached out and patted Onizawa's shoulder again as a gesture of comfort.

"The rest is up to you. My mission has been completed. Don't let me down, Onizawa Police Department."

Ritsu Sasashima looked at the five headless corpses. The tip of his tongue was pressed against the sharp tiger teeth, making a sound that was almost squeezed out from between the teeth.

"We will find out, and we won't let that guy run away."

"Well, come on."
