Chapter 115 Optimal Solution
Seeing Makino put down the phone, Officer Takagi and others immediately looked at Makino nervously.

Under everyone's nervous gaze, Makino said, "Manager Matsumoto and his team have searched the home of the suspect, Kaori Takahashi, and her neighbors said they haven't seen her for two days.

After some investigation, they found the raw materials for making chemical bombs in Takahashi Xiang's home.

In addition, the traffic police have also found the vehicle information registered by Takahashi Kaori, and they are currently trying to find the whereabouts of that vehicle. "

After hearing what Makino said, the expressions of Maori Kogoro and others immediately became even uglier.

Although Makino had previously said that the criminal might have a bomb in his hand, they were mentally prepared.

But when this "guess" was confirmed, they couldn't help feeling a little panic, especially after they had a deeper understanding of the prisoner's "mental state".

A few minutes later, Officer Sato also took Ms. Hiramiya out of the bedroom and returned to the living room.

At this time, Makino received another call from Inspector Megure.

Two of Inspector Megure's men found a car that was suspected to be the suspect, Kaori Takahashi, near Teitan Shrine in Yūka-cho 3-chome, but there was no one in the car.

In addition, there was a huge black cloth inside the car, covering the two small boxes in the trunk.

After receiving this news, Makino immediately asked Inspector Megure to notify his subordinates to stay away from the car and ambush nearby.

After hanging up the phone, Makino explained the current situation to Takagi and Sato.

After hearing Makino mention the "Teitan Shrine", Ms. Hiramiya immediately looked up and said, "The nursery that Masako went to back then is right next to the Teitan Shrine!"

Hearing this, Makino glanced at Ms. Pinggong in front of him, then turned to look at Xiaolan and the others and said, "I'm sorry, could you please stay here and look after Ms. Pinggong?"

"No problem!" Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro nodded immediately.

The next moment, Makino turned his head to look at Takagi and Sato beside him, and said simply: "Get ready to go!"

"Yes!" The two of them immediately bowed slightly, turned around and walked towards the door.

Seeing that Makino and his companions were about to leave, Conan hurriedly trotted forward, preparing to leave secretly with Makino and his companions.

At this moment, Conan suddenly found himself being grabbed by the back of his collar.

Before he could react, an iron fist landed on his head.

——“Boom!”

"Ah!!" Conan held his head with both hands and said in pain.

Then, Maori Kogoro's angry voice reached Conan's ears: "Kid! What do you want to do?!"

Conan touched the bag on his head, turned to look at Kogoro Mouri behind him, his heart full of resentment.

Although he had heard of Inspector Makino's "criminal profiling" ability from Yusaku Kudo, Inspector Megure and others, he had never seen it with his own eyes.

He has also always been unimpressed by this so-called "criminal profiling" technique.

But today, when he saw with his own eyes how Officer Makino used the "criminal profiling" technique to miraculously accurately identify the suspect, the shock he felt was simply beyond words.

And now is the perfect opportunity for him to observe with his own eyes how Officer Makino uses this technique to solve cases and catch criminals!

This nasty old man...

Seeing that Conan had no intention of admitting his mistake, Kogoro Mouri stared at Conan in front of him fiercely and raised his left fist again, ready to launch a combo.

It would be fine under normal circumstances, but this time the serial murder and kidnapping case was personally supervised and participated in by Counselor Makino!
If something goes wrong because of Conan's naughty and reckless behavior...

How should he, a famous detective, explain this to Makino, Inspector Megure and the others? !
Thinking of that scene, Maori Kogoro's anger increased a little, and the veins on the back of his left hand bulged. This time, even Xiaolan, who was standing beside him, did not speak to dissuade his father from his "educational behavior", but just sighed.

--"boom!"

"what!!!"

……

A few minutes later, inside the red Mazda.

After learning the details of the incident from Officer Takagi, Officer Sato's eyes were filled with amazement.

Although she had witnessed Makino's "criminal profile" many times, she still found it magical every time she saw it.

The next second, she glanced at Makino in the back seat through the rearview mirror and asked, "Counselor, how did you determine that the criminal might use a bomb this time?"

Makino said, "I'm not sure. The criminal used carbon monoxide to kill the child when he killed the first victim, but this method takes a long time.

So from the second time she committed a crime, she began to use cyanide, which is more efficient. For someone who understands chemistry, if there is a more efficient way to kill people than cyanide..."

Hearing this, Sato and Takagi, who were sitting in the front, immediately understood what Makino wanted to express.

Humans are creatures that subconsciously pursue the optimal solution, and this criminal seems to be no exception.

In addition, she has a high level of education and knowledge of chemistry. Once such a person starts to delve into crime, her methods will only become more "horrifying" each time.

The killing methods of high-IQ serial killers will generally improve as the number of crimes increases.

What is more representative is that, unlike the previous tarot cards, the prisoner also left a letter this time, which is also a sign that she is preparing to "upgrade" again.

For a criminal like this, even if it wasn't a bomb, she would probably think of more troublesome ways to kill.

Thinking of this, Officer Sato gritted his teeth and said, "What a scary guy."

Makino shook his head and turned to look out the window: "The truly terrifying thing is that she believes her actions are correct and that she is saving those children. Such prisoners are far more terrifying than those who realize that they are doing 'bad things'."

Upon hearing this, Officer Sato and Officer Takagi fell silent.

A few minutes later, seeing that they were almost at their destination, Makino said, "Just park the car here, and we'll walk over there."

Officer Sato understood what Makino meant, so he immediately looked around and began looking for a suitable place to park.

After parking the car, Makino and the other two put on special service headphones and walked towards the target location separately.

……

Tens of minutes later.

After lying in ambush for nearly an hour, Makino finally got some useful information from Manager Matsumoto.

As Officer Matsumoto and others continued their investigation, the police checked every possible location of the criminal, Takahashi Kaori's activities.

The only area that has not been thoroughly investigated yet is the Sanchome area where Makino and his friends are.

Therefore, the possibility that the criminal is near them is very high!
At this moment, a call suddenly came through the headset from Officer Takagi who was lying in ambush nearby.

——"Report! A woman who looks like Takahashi Kaori walked out of my old-style apartment!"
