Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 114 The Meaning of Salvation

After listening to Officer Takagi's brief explanation, Conan and the others understood why Makino came to the scene.

In the previous cases, the criminal left Tarot cards at the scene. It seems that before carrying out this kidnapping, the criminal had committed three murders.

After learning that the victims of the first three cases were orphans, Xiaolan's face showed a hint of sadness.

Conan lowered his head silently and remained silent for a long time.

Although he now knew the basic circumstances of the first three cases, he still couldn't understand how Officer Makino came up with those "reasonings" he had mentioned before.

Conan could guess a little bit why Officer Makino inferred that "the criminal had a deceased daughter".

But apart from that, how did Officer Makino know the criminal's age, gender, and the fact that she might have a bomb? !

Whether it is the first three cases or the current kidnapping case, there seems to be no relevant information or intelligence, right?

……

A few hours later, Manager Matsumoto called and said that their investigation had made some progress.

A female teacher who fits Makino's profile appears in the police's sight.

The female teacher was formerly named Kato Xiang. She was a teacher in the Department of Chemistry at Sophia University. Her daughter Kato Ami died of illness many years ago.

Three years ago, she divorced her husband and changed back to her real name, Takahashi Kaori.

After asking her colleagues and superiors, we learned that she stayed in Haido Town for about a month last month for academic exchange.

The time of her business trip coincided with the time when the first two "Haito Town Cases" occurred.

From this point of view, she is indeed a strong suspect.

What’s a little troublesome is that Takahashi Kaori had submitted her resignation letter to the school three days ago, but no one knows the reason for her resignation, nor does anyone know where she is now.

After receiving this news, Makino immediately ordered Manager Matsumoto to send someone to investigate near the suspect Takahashi Kaori's residence.

In addition, they now have to contact the Traffic Division as soon as possible to ask them to help investigate the specific information and license plate number of the vehicle under Takahashi Xiang's name.

After hanging up the phone, Makino explained the current situation to everyone.

When they learned that the police had already identified the suspect, and that this suspect was almost exactly the same as the profile that Officer Makino had just drawn, Conan and his companions were stunned for a moment.

Until now, they don't know what happened.

Seeing with their own eyes how Officer Makino used this "outrageous" method to lock on to the suspect, they were so shocked that they could not express it in words.

Even Kogoro Mori looked at Makino in shock with his mouth wide open.

He used to be a police officer, so he naturally knew what the normal case handling process was.

But he had never seen the method and process that Counselor Makino used to solve the case!

Why can't I figure out how he did it?
The police actually found the suspect based on the description given by Counselor Makino?!

No wonder this guy can become a senior police officer at such a young age...

Only Officer Takagi did not react too exaggeratedly because he was already accustomed to Makino's "method of solving cases" and the accuracy of his profiles. "Counselor, what should we do next?" Officer Takagi asked.

Makino said calmly, "Although we have locked on to the suspect, we do not know his current location. We are in an absolutely passive position. Let's wait here for news. Once Officer Matsumoto and Megure have investigated new intelligence, we will act according to the situation."

"Yes!" Officer Takagi stood at attention.

Not long after, Xiaolan suddenly walked up to Makino and asked, "Officer Makino, you said before that the criminal thought he was saving those children. What does that mean?"

Hearing this, Officer Takagi and Conan and others beside them also pricked up their ears silently and looked at Makino with confusion.

When Makino said this before, they were actually a little confused, but apart from this question, there were too many things they didn't understand, so they didn't ask.

Now when they heard Xiaolan ask this question, they immediately focused and looked at Makino curiously.

Makino glanced at everyone and explained, "Although serial killers have different motives for committing crimes, one thing is almost certain, that is, they generally have a certain 'tendency' when committing crimes.

This can sometimes be seen in the victims they 'select'.

In the first three cases, the victims...that is, the three girls, had different appearances and body shapes, but they all had similar long black hair. This commonality caught my attention.

It was not until I saw a photo of Ms. Hiramiya's daughter, Hiramiya Masako, and asked Ms. Hiramiya about the details that I was completely sure that the murderer also had her "tendencies."

Hearing this, Xiaolan and the other two immediately recalled the appearance of the kidnapped girl in their minds.

Officer Takagi immediately pulled out a photo of Hiramiya Masako and said in surprise, "This Hiramiya Masako also has similar long black hair!"

Makino nodded and said, "Yes, this is part of the murderer's real 'motive'. The four of them are similar to the murderer's daughter, the deceased Kato Ami. Among them, Hiramiya Masako is probably the girl who looks most like Kato Ami."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mori and others immediately came up to Officer Takagi and carefully examined the photo in his hand.

"You mean, Masako Hiramiya in the photo looks very similar to the murderer's deceased daughter?" Kogoro Mori frowned.

Makino glanced at the bedroom behind him and said, "Yes, I just asked Ms. Hiramiya. Her daughter Masako had also been to the nursery before. There was a little girl in the nursery who looked very similar to her daughter. Others even thought they were twins. The criminal chose to target the orphans in the nursery and Masako Hiramiya for this reason."

After thinking for a while, Officer Gao Mu's expression became a little tense due to panic: "Counselor, I remember you said before that the murderer had mental problems and might be a follower of a certain religion. Could it be that the so-called salvation..."

Makino nodded and said, "Yes, I'm afraid in her eyes, these children who look like her daughter are living in pain. The only way to save them is to send them to heaven personally..."

Everyone: "!!!"

At this moment, everyone remembered part of the content of the letter left by the murderer:
——"Since you can't take good care of your daughter", "Please rest assured, she will live a better and happier life than now."

If that is the case, then the care and better, happier life the murderer talked about...

Thinking of this, Xiaolan immediately covered her mouth with her hands. Officer Takagi and others also clenched their fists, with extremely ugly expressions on their faces.

——“Buzz buzz buzz”

Just then, Makino's cell phone vibrated.

The caller was Manager Matsumoto.
