Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 11. Tequila's Mouth and Cotton Pants Waist

"Is there anything wrong with this injury?" Lin Longma was just an intelligence officer, and what he was doing was open source intelligence.

He has come this far thanks to his extraordinary talent and has also learned through practice.

Observation, analysis and reasoning can be considered related subjects for Lin Longma, and he understands some of them.

But Lin Longma was not very good at this kind of injury assessment. After all, no one could be good at it without professional knowledge.

But Lin Longma has subordinates.

"Brother, this abrasion was caused by the flying debris from the explosion, but this bruise was not.

This bruise looks more like a bruise from a blow.”

"A heavy blow? What caused that heavy blow? A fist, a slap? The shapes don't seem to be similar."

"Judging from the shape, I think it was kicked hard by a pair of leather shoes, like this." Doi stood up and made a kicking motion on the spot for Lin Longma to see.

"Leather shoes, bruises, explosion, peeking." Pieces of information emerged in Lin Longma's mind, and then these pieces of information were disassembled and reorganized into an information chain.

"Let me think about it. This kid named Conan had an encounter with Tequila for some reason, and was kicked by Tequila.

Then the kid followed Tequila all the way to the bathroom, and then he hid behind the wall and secretly observed the situation in the bathroom.

Then the explosion happened, and I was stunned on the spot."

At this point, Lin Longma frowned deeply. Something was not right, many things here did not make sense.

Let’s not talk about anything else. A normal child who was kicked by Tequila would have gone home crying to his mother. How dare this kid get close to Tequila?

"Keep watching." Lin Longma signaled Doi to continue playing the video.

In the video, after the explosion, many onlookers only dared to point at the bathroom from a distance, but no one dared to approach it.

Until the hotel manager, the press conference manager, Kogoro Mori and his daughter Ran Mori arrived at the scene.

The arrival of the others seemed to wake Conan up from a dream. The first thing he did after he came to his senses was to run to the bathroom, then he came out confusedly holding a shoe.

Well, although Tequila was torn to pieces, he was not completely wiped out. With one shoe, at least he could have built a cenotaph, right?

"pause."

Lin Longma said suddenly, and Doi quickly pressed the pause button. The angle of the video screen was just right to see Tequila's shoes in Conan's hand.

Although the picture quality is touching, you can still vaguely see that there seems to be something stuck to the sole of Tequila's shoe.

"What is this?" Lin Longma asked.

"I can't really tell." Doi frowned and looked at it for a long time before finally shaking his head helplessly: "It looks like a child's sticker? But how could this sticker be stuck on Tequila's shoes?"

The moment Doi mentioned the stickers, Hayashi Ryoma immediately placed the suspicion on Conan, for no reason, just based on intuition.

"What about the report from the Metropolitan Police Department? Did they record what the stickers on the shoes were?"

The Metropolitan Police Department's ability to handle cases is obvious to all. Although Lin Longma doesn't trust them very much, it doesn't stop him from trusting these cops a little bit at once.

The only valuable clue at the scene was this pair of surviving shoes. Shouldn't the police officers in charge of identification find something useful in this pair of surviving leather shoes?

Doi immediately went to look through the internal police report sent by Bourbon.

"How's it going, Doi?"

"No. There's not a single mention of stickers in the report. And, brother, look at these photos!" Lin Longma looked over and saw they were several photos. These were included with the internal documentation, to make the report more intuitive.

In the few photos related to shoes, there are no stickers at all.

Lin Longma and Doi looked at each other and fell silent at the same time. They realized something.

It would be fine if this sticker accidentally fell somewhere due to improper transportation.

But if someone takes the sticker away before the evidence is handed over to the police, it means there may be something seriously wrong with the sticker.

"Brother, do you want to continue watching?" Doi asked dryly. He found that the matter of Tequila seemed to be getting more and more complicated and the water was getting deeper and deeper as the investigation went deeper.

"Keep watching. If we don't get this cleared up, Rum might take the opportunity to attack us, and even Gin might stop trusting us."

The so-called struggle does not necessarily have to be carried out in a vigorous manner. It can also be about doing your own thing and waiting quietly for your opponent to make a mistake.

Now that the opponent has not had the chance to make a mistake, Lin Longma is in some trouble.

Doi nodded vigorously and continued playing.

What follows is a bit unremarkable. It's basically about the police arriving at the scene and their investigation being hindered.

At the critical moment, Kogoro Mori opened the story with a strange dance, and then began his own reasoning for the day.

Soon the truth of the incident was clarified. The truth of the case was that at the press conference, an employee of the Mantiantang Company wanted to kill another employee.

But this employee happened to be the person with whom Tequila was trading that day.

The employee who wanted to kill people switched the bomb's boxes with those of the two men by swapping the deposit cards.

Then Tequila successfully exchanged the storage number tag with this guy who was not sure whether to consider it unlucky or lucky.

Finally, the box of bombs was taken by Tequila. When Tequila was impatient to confirm the contents inside, the mechanism was triggered and caused an explosion.

At the scene, a murderer was filled with resentment, while another unlucky guy was cowering in fear. Although the unlucky guy usually flatters others in the workplace, takes credit for others' achievements, and sometimes even plagiarizes the fruits of others' labor.

But he never thought that someone would come to kill him, and in such a way that his body would be dismembered.

The real murderer was dragged away by other police officers while screaming, and then Kogoro Mouri began to force Tequila's trading partner to reveal Tequila's identity.

"I, I don't know either. I only know that they are a criminal group! But I didn't do anything else. I just sold some internal information to them!"

Okay, the case is solved.

Lin Longma leaned back in his chair speechlessly, and Doi paused the video at the right time.

"What the hell did Tequila say to this guy?"

No wonder the police arrived so quickly. A criminal group is involved here. How could the group be a small criminal gang?

It was normal for the Metropolitan Police Department to rush to the base and send so many people.

"Brother, the key point of this matter is probably not how Tequila died. It's about how many people Tequila told about the organization."

This was the second time Doi was speechless. You said that Tequila was at least a senior cadre of the organization and had worked in the organization for many years.

Why is this mouth like the waist of a cotton trousers - so loose?
　After some adaptation, we can only say that Conan is really not afraid of death. Originally, the criminal group was said by Maori Kogoro, that is, Conan.

　　If other members of the organization knew that Conan Tie couldn't survive, they would even implicate the Maori family.
