Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 146 Familiar Hostage

A few minutes later, Section Chief Fukiishi of Investigation Section 2 and Manager Matsumoto left the office.

After the two left, Minister Odagiri looked at Makino and said, "Megure and his team have cordoned off the scene and are investigating it, but this case is a little more complicated than an ordinary case.

Strictly speaking, this case is a joint case of Investigation Section 1 and Investigation Section 2, and Investigation Section 2 has already sent people to the scene.

Makino, this should be your first time handling a case like this, right? I want you to go to the scene to direct and coordinate, and you can also accumulate experience in handling similar cases."

Hearing this, Makino nodded slightly.

Seeing that Makino agreed, Minister Odagiri nodded and said, "Then you can go after you get ready... By the way, you will also be in charge of the press conference after the case is over. Don't worry, I will let Counselor Uno assist you.

You are now a 'manager'. Things like press conferences and coordinating the work of various departments are important tasks that you will need to handle frequently in the future. Try to get used to it as soon as possible."

"Okay, I understand." Makino nodded again.

Seeing this, Director Odagiri smiled and said, "You kid... Although I guessed that one day I would be able to say these words to you since the day you joined the company, I never thought that this day would come so soon!
Well, that's all I have to say to you. The scene is still waiting for you to take charge. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time. "

After saying this, Minister Odagiri stood up, patted Makino on the shoulder, and then watched Makino leave the office.

……

Not long after, inside the Beihu Hotel.

Conan looked from afar at Inspector Megure and others who were investigating and questioning at the scene, his eyes flickering.

He just carefully observed the fallen chandelier and the ceiling on which it was hung, and found that the chandelier itself had not been tampered with.

If this was not an accident, the murderer might have used other methods to bring down the chandelier, but he has not yet figured out what method the murderer used.

At the moment, it seems that Inspector Megure and others, like him, have almost no clues.

Given Inspector Megure's usual style, he is likely to define this case as an "accident", especially when there are so many "famous people" at the scene.

hateful……

If this matter is really related to the Black Organization, then he must find clues and evidence as soon as possible, otherwise...

Just as Conan was thinking hard, there was suddenly a commotion outside the venue.

Not long after, under the surprised gazes of Conan, Inspector Megure and others, the door of the venue slowly opened and Makino suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Counselor?!" Inspector Megure and Officer Takagi walked towards Makino excitedly.

The moment he saw Makino, Conan's eyes flashed with a hint of relaxation and joy from the bottom of his heart.

Although he hated the feeling of losing to Makino in reasoning, it was undeniable that in the current situation, Officer Makino's reasoning and solving abilities far exceeded his own, and he might be able to help him obtain intelligence and clues related to that organization!

This was the first time that after learning that Makino was going to participate in the case, he not only did not feel disappointed, but even felt very happy!
After entering the hall, Makino glanced at the guests in the venue, and used his peripheral vision to focus on two guests he was "familiar" with and a "child with glasses" who was hiding not far from Pisco.

When he heard the name of the victim, Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi, and that the case took place at the Haido Hotel, he roughly remembered the details of the case.

Since this case was one of the few cases related to the "brewery" that occurred in Conan's early years, he was deeply impressed by it.

Even if he hadn't received any system tasks or instructions from Minister Odagiri, he was ready to intervene in this case.

Because he remembered that Pisco liked to carry his laptop with him, and there seemed to be some information about APTX-4869 stored on it.

In addition, this may be his first time to meet Belmode "in person". He wants to see with his own eyes how good Belmode's disguise skills are and whether he can see her flaws at present.

A few seconds later, after briefly greeting Inspector Megure and the others, Makino said, "There are too many reporters outside. Although I have just explained to them, they still haven't dispersed.

Megure, send someone outside to try to evacuate the reporters. I have also told the inspector of Investigation Section 2, and his subordinates will also help evacuate the reporters.

I have heard the details of the case. I subjectively judge that this is a murder case, and the criminal is among these guests. After catching the criminal, you will take him back to the Investigation Section 1 for interrogation. I will greet the people from the Investigation Section 2. "

"Yes!" Inspector Megure saluted quickly and immediately ordered his subordinates to carry out the order that Makino had just given.

Seeing this scene, Vermouth and Pisco, who were not far away, immediately changed their expressions.

They were all familiar with the police officer who easily took control of the situation the moment he walked in.

Especially Vermouth, she had just read Makino's information not long ago.

She was very curious about Makino, the police officer who caught Grey Goose and made Gin pay attention to the need for a careful investigation.

Over the years, Officer Makino seems to be the first "ordinary Metropolitan Police Department officer" who has caused the organization to suffer a setback and made Gin take him seriously enough to conduct a detailed investigation.

Under everyone's curious gaze, Makino continued to look at Inspector Megure and asked, "Before the incident, have you investigated all the guests around the victim?"

"After investigation, it turns out that the people around the victim and the chandelier were basically these people..." Inspector Megure handed the notebook in his hand to Makino and introduced the identities of these people to him one by one.

After taking a quick look at the group, Makino said directly, "Everyone, could you please take out the handkerchiefs that were distributed when you arrived at the venue today?"

"Handkerchief? Of course, but what's the use?" Female writer Nanjo Mika asked puzzledly as she took out a handkerchief from her pocket.

The other guests around also took out handkerchiefs from their pockets and looked at Makino in confusion.

Only Kenzo Masuyama, aka Pisco, showed a hint of unnatural expression on his face.

He had thrown away the handkerchief after using it, so now he couldn't take it out.

After everyone took out their handkerchiefs, Makino looked at Masuyama Kenzo with a smile and said, "I remember you are Mr. Masuyama, right? Where is your handkerchief?"

After a moment of silence, Masuyama Kenzo said, "I put the handkerchief on the table not long ago, and then it disappeared. Maybe someone took it away."

Makino nodded slightly and continued, "If this was not an accident but a murder, then the chandelier was taken down by someone.

There are no signs of tampering on the chandelier, which means that the chandelier fell due to external force. What weapon can hit the chandelier at a high place without making a noticeable sound? Mr. Masuyama, what do you think it is? "

Masuyama Kenzo: “…”

For some reason, Kenzo Masuyama suddenly felt like he was being stared at by something terrifying.

However, this feeling only flashed through his mind for a moment, and he said, "Officer, how could I know?"

Although Kenzo Masuyama said this, there was undoubtedly a hint of vigilance and suspicion in the eyes of Conan, Inspector Megure and others when they looked at him.

Seeing that Makino has solved so many cases, they have already had a clearer "understanding" of Makino.

Since Officer Makino seems to have set his sights on this person, this guy could very well be the murderer!
Under Kenzo Masuyama's puzzled gaze, Makino continued, "What I'm going to say next is just my guess. In the dark environment at that time, in order to accurately hit the chandelier and make the victim Shigehiko Tsuguchi stand under the chandelier, there are three absolutely indispensable props.

The first is a fluorescent agent. If the murderer wants the victim to stand exactly under the chandelier and hit the chandelier on the ceiling accurately, there must be a "marker" that can indicate the specific location in the dark. The second is a silenced pistol. This is probably the only weapon that can accurately hit the connection of the chandelier from such a distance without making too much noise.

As for the third prop, it is the handkerchief I just mentioned.

Although the silencer pistol makes a small sound when firing, there is naturally a flash from the muzzle when firing. In the dark, people around will definitely notice that in order to block the flash from the muzzle, the handkerchief is the last indispensable prop for the prisoner. As for…"

Before Makino could finish his words, Kenzo Masuyama's originally puzzled look instantly turned into extreme fear.

On the other side, the shock in Conan's eyes was no less than that of Kenzo Masuyama.

"Deductive reasoning?!"

He had just arrived at the scene, but he relied on the situation at hand and used deductive methods to infer the criminal's entire criminal process from the results? ! !

What's even more terrifying is that he didn't find any flaws in what Makino just said!
It was as if Officer Makino had witnessed the murderer's entire crime process with his own eyes!!

Thinking of this, Conan involuntarily took two steps forward, wanting to confirm whether there was really fluorescent agent on the floor.

Even Vermouth who was standing by looked at Makino in surprise, with an extremely strange expression.

Although she didn't know the details of Pisco's murder plan, she could probably guess some of it.

But Officer Makino had just arrived at the scene, and he was able to rely on "reverse reasoning" to figure out the details of Pisco's murder?

No wonder Gin investigated Officer Makino in detail.

Apart from other things, his outrageous reasoning ability alone is enough to attract the attention of the organization...

After noticing the suspicious looks of everyone present, Kenzo Masuyama couldn't help but break out in a few drops of cold sweat.

He really didn't understand how the police officer in front of him discovered his murder plan and process so quickly.

At this moment, he only knew one thing.

Since the other party has already told me his method of killing and mentioned the pistol, I can no longer escape.

In addition to the silenced pistol in his pocket, the gunpowder smoke reaction on his body can also directly convict himself.

Thinking of this, Kenzo Masuyama's brain started working rapidly.

There is no way he could be arrested by the police here!

As long as he could escape... That's right! He still had a chance to escape!
After seeing the little devil popping out from nowhere beside him, he immediately made up his mind, took out a pistol from his pocket, and knocked out Conan who was looking down at the floor beside him.

Then he hugged Conan with one hand and pointed the gun at Conan's temple.

Memu Police Department and others: "!!!"

Vermouth: “?”

Makino: "?"

Seeing this scene, even Makino was stunned.

Let’s not talk about why Conan suddenly walked up to Kenzo Masuyama. Why did Kenzo Masuyama choose Conan as a hostage?

The criminals who dared to take Conan as a hostage would not have a good ending in the end...

The next second, Masuyama Kensada shouted, "Everyone, stop moving! Get out of my way! Otherwise, this kid's life will be in danger!!"

After saying this, Kenzo Masuyama carefully looked at the police around him while retreating to the safe passage behind him.

"Don't be impulsive! Mr. Masuyama, if you have anything to say, just say it nicely!" Inspector Megure quickly advised.

At this moment, he no longer had the energy to think about why Conan appeared here.

Whether out of duty or emotion, he didn't want anything to happen to Conan.

Vermouth stared at Conan in Kenzo Masuyama's hands and frowned.

She always felt that the little boy held hostage by Pisco seemed familiar.

For a moment, she couldn't remember where she had seen this little boy.

Seeing that the situation was beyond her expectations, she turned her attention away from Conan, secretly took out her cell phone, edited what happened here into a text message, and told Gin and Vodka outside.

After seeing the reactions of Inspector Megure and others, Kenzo Masuyama continued to retreat backwards and soon moved to the door of the emergency passage.

The next moment, he threw Conan in his hand to the side, turned around and ran into the safe passage.

Seeing this, Inspector Megure hurriedly looked at Makino beside him, ready to wait for Makino's orders.

It was not until then that he realized that Makino was gone.

……

Outside Beihu Hotel.

Kenzo Masuyama ran away while turning his head to look behind him.

When he found that no one was catching up with him, a hint of relief at surviving the disaster flashed in his eyes.

As agreed, Gin and Vodka were waiting for him outside the hotel to complete the task. They could just drive him away from here and avoid the police!
As for my laptop, I have hidden it well in the old museum. I can come back and get it after the storm has passed.

At this moment, Kenzo Masuyama suddenly heard a familiar voice beside him: "Mr. Masuyama, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Masuyama Kenzo: “?!!”

After seeing the figure next to him clearly, Kenzo Masuyama was immediately startled.

Just as he was about to raise his gun and point it at Makino, he noticed a black Honda NSX driving towards him not far away.

Makino also suddenly felt a strong sense of malice.

Seeing this, Kenzo Masuyama's eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly shouted, "Hurry, help me get rid of this policeman behind me!"

In response to Kenzo Masuyama's response, there were two loud gunshots.

——“Bang!! Bang!!”
