Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 110 104. Discovery of the White Bird

Otherwise, why is it that Hayashi Ryoma has a high degree of favorability towards Mori Kogoro? This guy really does things when he is paid!

With such high efficiency, Keizao Masuo was sent to prison that very night.

Yes, that's right. The client who went to the Mori Detective Agency to issue the commission was a member of the Isshinkai. Of course, she didn't know any Masuo Kayo, and she didn't need to know Masuo Kayo.

The moment Kogoro Mori accepted the commission, the role of the client could be declared finished.

Kogoro Mouri, or Conan, is really good at reasoning and solving cases.

That night, Conan deduced that Keizao Masuo was the real murderer of Kayo Masuo, and "collaborated" with the detective of the Investigation Section to arrest Keizao Masuo overnight.

Faced with conclusive evidence, Keizao Masuo confessed and admitted his crime on the spot in the interrogation room.

Of course, the crimes that Keizo Masuo admitted to were limited to bank robbery and killing his wife with a device.

He didn't dare to tell anyone any information about the organization.

As a member of the Intelligence Support Division, Keizao Masuo was naturally aware of the organization's intelligence strength. He also knew that if he gritted his teeth and didn't reveal any information about the organization, he might still be alive.

Even if you go to prison, you may still be taken care of by the organization.

His position as a deputy branch manager was not enough to force the organization to rescue him from prison.

But there is still some energy organization that allows him to live more comfortably in there.

But if he didn't keep his mouth shut and revealed the existence of the organization, Keizo Masuo could guarantee that he would die mysteriously in the detention center within a night.

The phenomenon of suicide is not uncommon in island countries.

Keizao Masuo's plan was good, but he had lived in Haido Town for a long time, and the local media did have some influence on him.

For example, Keizou Masuo, like most local murderers, somewhat looked down on the police's ability to handle cases.

The successful resolution of the Beihu Branch robbery case of Dongdu Bank made all the colleagues in the Third Division of the Criminal Investigation Section 1 very happy.

Although they had the help of the famous detective Kogoro Mori, they were already accustomed to the media's ridicule and the public's distrust of them in Tokyo.

This stereotype cannot be reversed in a short period of time, but solving a serious case will reduce a lot of their work pressure.

"Officer Shiratori, would you like to have dinner together?" It was dinner time. Takagi, who rarely had the chance to eat on time, looked at Shiratori who was concentrating on thinking about something, and after hesitating for a moment, he walked over.

The original relationship between Takagi and Shiratori was actually quite ordinary. It wasn't that there was any grudge between them, but that the two of them were born to be in different circles.

Shiratori is the young master of Shiratori Group and a member of the Gold Watch Group. Whether he is a policeman or not, he has a bright future and is destined to have a smooth life.

Takagi is the representative of the small town's test-takers.

After graduating from university, he passed the local civil service exam and joined a frontline police station as a patrolman. Later, due to his good performance, he was transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division.

Takagi's life is actually a life of constant climbing.

It is impossible for these two people to play together for no reason. It was only after they both took notes for Lin Longma, and after Takagi accidentally let the cat out of the bag when he ran into Lin Longma at the scene, and Shiratori helped him out, that Takagi felt that this "young master" Shiratori did not seem so unattainable.

When Takagi walked to Shiratori's desk, he found that Shiratori was carefully looking at the information of Keizao Masuo's accomplices.

"This is the information of the accomplice of Masuo Keizao? Wasn't the case already solved?
Is there something wrong with this information, Officer White Bird?"

Asking when not understanding something is one of Takagi's strengths. Fortunately, during the years that Takagi has been working, he has met some very good seniors and bosses who are all willing to help Takagi improve himself.

Takagi's words woke Shiratori from his daze.

"It's Officer Takagi." Shiratori nodded politely to Takagi, and then his eyes involuntarily returned to the information of Keizao Masuo's accomplices.

"I just instinctively felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the information."

"Really? Officer Shiratori, why don't you tell me so I can help with some reference?"

Shiratori nodded and spread out several copies of information on Keizao Masu's accomplices on the desk.

"These are all the information about Keizao Masuo's accomplices. Look at this man. He was just released from prison three years ago. He was imprisoned for robbery.

After I was released from prison, I had no stable job, no clear source of income, and no formal employment.”

"Also, although this guy has never been to prison, he is a gangster. He has a mediocre position in the gang and spends most of his time helping others look after the place."

"The last one was also in prison. He was in prison for selling and transporting illegal drugs. He was released two years ago. It is not known whether he has returned to his old ways. But these three people do not have a clear source of income, nor do they have formal jobs."

After Shiratori finished speaking, he looked at Takagi and said, "Officer Takagi, you said that Masuo Keizou is the vice president of a branch of Touto Bank. How did he get to know these people?"

"Maybe he was a temporary helper found by Keizou Masuo?" Takagi was not afraid of making a mistake and expressed his inner thoughts.

"No, it shouldn't be." Shiratori shook his head and denied Gao Mu's guess: "If it was a temporary team, the trust between them shouldn't be that high."

It is well known that the money robbed from a bank cannot be spent directly. The stolen money must be laundered at least once before it can become clean money to be spent.

So here comes the question. Generally speaking, members of a temporary bandit gang are very wary of each other.

Most temporary gangs will divide the money immediately after they succeed, and then everyone will go their separate ways and never meet again.

But this is not the case with Keizao Masumio's gang. All the money that the gang robbed is now in Keizao Masumio's hands. According to Keizao Masumio, he will distribute the money to his accomplices after laundering it.

Such behavior means that Keizao Masuo has a certain degree of trust among these people. Shiratori is just curious about how Keizao Masuo, a vice president of a bank branch, knows these accomplices who have no relationship with him at all?

How was the trust between them established?
"Perhaps this bank robbery is not their first crime?" Takagi proposed another possibility.

Shiratori thinks this is possible, but the probability is not high because from the bank surveillance, it can be seen that these people are not that skilled in robbing banks.

But just because they had never robbed a bank together didn't mean they hadn't committed other things together. At this moment, Shiratori had a rather outrageous guess in his mind.

Could there be an intermediary in Tokyo who specializes in helping criminals organize gangs?
