Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 298 292. Who is the kidnapper?
"Inspector Shiratori, President Hayashi, there's news from Shoenji." A police officer hurried over to the two of them, holding a cell phone.

"Huh? So fast." It's a good thing that the news comes quickly at this time.

If nothing had happened in Shoenji Temple and the surrounding areas, this news would definitely not have come so quickly.

Because I need to confirm with the local police station.

But if something really happened around Shoenji Temple on New Year's Day, the local police station would be able to remember it once the detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department mentioned it.

Shiratori's face lit up with joy, and he quickly took the phone from the detective's hand: "I'm Shiratori from the Investigation Division 1, go ahead!"

".
Really? I see. By the way, what’s that person’s name?”

"Okay, thank you very much!"

Bai Niao hung up the phone with a red face and said to Lin Longma: "There is news!
Information from the Shoenji District Police Station! A shooting incident occurred on a deserted mountain near Shoenji Temple on New Year's Day!"

"There were two people involved in the whole incident. One was named Katsuhisa Takaki, and he was the deceased. The other was named Miyahara Satoshi, and to be more precise, he was the victim."

"Huh?" Lin Longma was stunned. There were two people in the whole incident. The one who was alive was the victim?

Self-defense or emergency avoidance?
"According to Miyahara Satoshi, the deceased, Hokame Katsuyuki, was probably mentally ill.

On the deserted mountain, Takatsugu pointed a gun at Miyahara Satoshi, and when the two were trying to grab the gun, Takatsugu was hit by a stray bullet and died on the spot.

"The local police station's detectives went to the scene to investigate and eventually agreed with Miyahara Satoshi's statement.

Shortly after New Year's Day, Miyahara Satoshi was acquitted. "

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, the kidnapper this time is this guy." Lin Longma nodded and expressed his judgment.

It is hard to say whether the deceased Baogui Keshou was mentally ill, but the person is dead and there is no evidence.

There was no evidence or witnesses at the scene that could prove that Miyahara Satoshi was the murderer. Isn't it just what he said that counted?

and many more!

Lin Longma had a flash of inspiration and then looked at the lyrics he had just written down. One of the lines was "One, two sounds of fireworks."

"Ren Saburo, have someone go ask if anyone was setting off fireworks around Shoenji Temple at the time? Quick!"

"Okay!" Shiratori also reacted. If no one set off fireworks around Shoenji Temple, this line of lyrics would become evidence of Miyahara Satoshi's crime!

According to Miyahara Satoshi's confession to the police, he and Katsuhisa Hokame accidentally discharged the pistol while fighting for it, and only one shot was fired in the whole process!
The Shengyuan Temple Area Police Station responded very quickly because Shengyuan Temple is located in a mountainous area, surrounded by mountains and trees.

Fireworks are absolutely not allowed in this place.

Otherwise, what if one accidentally sets the mountain on fire?
The local police station also confirmed that no one set off fireworks in the Shoenji area, which means that Miyahara Satoshi gave false testimony about the shooting!

As a victim, why would he lie? Obviously, if he didn't lie, he would not be a victim, but a perpetrator.

Just as Shiratori and many detectives from the task force were excited, the landline phone in the lounge rang loudly.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the backbone Bai Niao.

"Let me answer it." Lin Longma stopped Shiratori from answering the phone.

No matter what, Shiratori is still a police officer. There are some things that cannot be said when wearing a police uniform.

In addition, there are outsiders watching in the lounge, and sometimes even if one has good intentions, a little guidance and distortion can turn a good thing into a bad thing.

Lin Longma is different. This kind of thing simply does not apply to him.

As long as I have no morals, I won't be kidnapped - Lin Longma, who has no official identity, has no taboos.

"Hello, I'm Lin Longma, who are you?" Lin Longma picked up the receiver carelessly, and his confidence was outstanding. Such a confident statement probably also stunned the kidnapper, who was even a little dazed at this moment.

I am the kidnapper this time, right? Why is this guy more confident than me?

This is wrong!

Miyahara Satoshi adjusted his mentality and snorted coldly: "Did you change people? Did you call the police?

I remember I warned you not to"

"Warning your father? Listen carefully, I am Lin Longma, the president of Yixin Consulting Company, and I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of xx Performance Agency.

Miyahara Satoshi, don't think I don't know who you are."

Lin Ryoma still acted as if he was the kidnapper and Miyahara Satoshi was the one being demanded for ransom.

When the four words "Miyahara Satoshi" came out of Lin Longma's mouth, the kidnapper on the opposite side fell silent.

"What Miyahara Satoshi? Stop changing the subject, you bastard!"

As we all know, the gangsters, murderers, kidnappers and criminals in Beika Town are mostly typical examples of those who won't cry until they see the coffin.

This is especially true for Miyahara Satoshi.

The reason why he went to so much trouble to kidnap TWO-MIX was because the group's new song recorded the two gunshots he used to kill his accomplice, Baogui Keshou.

The TWO-MIX group revealed two lines of lyrics in a radio interview some time ago, and these two lines happen to be the ones that can serve as testimony.

Ordinary people probably don't have any feelings after hearing it, and just think it's just a very ordinary lyric. After all, New Year's Day and fireworks are the most normal combination.

But if it fell into the ears of someone with ulterior motives, especially Miyahara Satoshi, it would be basically the same as accusing him of a crime.

This is what is meant by a guilty conscience.

The kidnapping of Miyahara Satoshi was not intended to ask for a ransom, but who knew that when he kidnapped Takayama Minami, he did not take her bag with him.

This resulted in the new song of the TWO-MIX group being lost in the wild.

In order to avoid any further trouble, Miyahara Satoshi had no choice but to make the blackmail call, attempting to disguise himself as a fetishist to confuse the public.

Who would have thought that his carefully designed vest would be stripped off just like that.

Could this person named Hayashi Ryoma be a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department? No, not likely.
This doubt only existed in Miyahara Satoshi's mind for a moment before he dispelled it.

Putting aside whether the police from the Metropolitan Police Department are so efficient, his rude and even confident attitude does not seem like those polite police officers in Tokyo.

Is what Lin Longma said actually true? !

"Okay, everyone, stop pretending to be ignorant.

Let's talk business." Lin Longma didn't care about Miyahara Satoshi's outwardly aggressive attitude on the phone, and continued:
“You mentioned before that you wanted that elementary school student to deliver Miss Gaoshan’s backpack to you. I’m officially telling you now that this is impossible.

Stop daydreaming."

“If you want Miss Gaoshan’s backpack, either you ask someone to come to my place to get it, or I ask someone to deliver it to you.

There are only these two choices, which one do you choose? "

Miyahara Satoshi's temples were throbbing, and at this moment he had only one thought: I am the kidnapper, I am the one who is taking the initiative - why is this bastard so arrogant!
