Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

A man with thick black hair and brown eyes like a Frenchman introduced himself. His name was Gallup Coke, and he was a business consultant for the Castleman Company, responsible for some procurement and related technical contracts. Since Megure was of the older generation and his English ability was almost zero, and Takagi was also a half-baked person, he didn't understand a word of Gallup's words. Gallup's translator, a Japanese, left an hour ago because he was unwell.

Gallup called his translator, but of course there was no response.

He seemed a little frustrated.

Winnett knew the reason, because his secretary used a Black Organization brand titanium alloy mobile phone, and the separation between the person and the machine was more than one meter. Gin would help it explode, and there was also a reminder service for a hole in the head.

Friendly, right?

It can only be said that the location of the meeting was not good. Because it was a high-rise building, there was relatively open space around it. It was also built near the city center, with all kinds of buildings lined up one after another. Any one of them would be a good sniper point. After all, Chianti and Cohen did not need to aim at the glass windows on the floor, but only at a few exits of the building.

Just now, Winnett had reported some of the agent's characteristics.

Presumably, that excellent agent also realized that something was wrong.

On the one hand, there was no news from his colleagues, and on the other hand, Kousuke Asakura died mysteriously.

It is still unknown whether he has left here or not. After all, now that the police have arrived, Gin and the others are in a difficult position to deal with and can only make long-term plans before taking any action.

If you shoot with a snipe right under the police's nose, the next ones to come are the Self-Defense Forces.

Oh, so boring.

Miss Winnett watched the police arguing back and forth, wasting time, so she took the initiative to move over and said she could translate. After all, even for Japanese who have learned English, most of them speak in a very strange way, like pineapple-flavored pizza, fruit cereal-filled buns, and star-gazing pies, which are difficult to adapt to. Only super elites like Shirley in her family, who have been in a foreign country for a long time, can speak with an accurate New York accent.

Hehe, my Shirley is so awesome!

Miss Winnet was too lazy to pretend, so she just started speaking in London accent. After all, she rarely used it when she spoke, mostly with a country accent, and the London accent was completely developed from her relationship with her adoptive father. After all, in the stereotype, British people who can speak in London accent are rigid and rule-abiding, which has a great advantage in cheating. When Miss Winnet was selling crosses, she also used London accent, and the result was needless to say, the trade volume increased rapidly.

The crosses are sold out, can you believe it?

It was indeed true, but she felt that many of them bought it for her sake, because her eyes and appearance had a church-like feel. She didn't believe it before, thinking that the adults around her were conspiring to deceive her. After all, she didn't have enough nutrition and didn't develop the habit of maintaining her beauty. She was undoubtedly a failure in the way of beauty. After her eyesight recovered a little, she did have some beauty.

Gallup was overjoyed after hearing Winnett's standard English.

Asians are indeed full of hidden talents. He told her some rules he had learned from some magical oriental movie, and praised her English level, which was far better than Asakura's. He also asked her if she had studied in London. He was just short of handing her a contract to poach her. It seems that if the church can't continue to operate in the future, she can work as a translator, she thought.

Learning Japanese was really difficult at first.

If she didn't recognize Chinese characters and understand English, the countless transliterated katakana alone would have given her a splitting headache. It was not until later that she came to her senses and divided the foreign languages ​​into Chinese and English, and distinguished between areas A and B. In this way, the difficulty dropped sharply.

One word has two uses.

Winnet reminded him to get to the point, and Gallup began to say what he wanted to say to Megure.

"He said he did visit Asakura," Winnett said, "He wanted to buy out Asakura's patents to develop new products, and he was prepared to pay 20 million US dollars. However, Asakura was adamant, so he changed his mind and wanted to buy the patent rights, but Asakura was still conducting research and did not agree."

"What was Professor Asakura's reaction at that time?" Megure asked.

Winette relayed that Gallup said he was dismissive and irritating.

She noticed a slight difference, which was not consistent with what Ishii said. But it was likely that Gallup was trying to cover up the truth, the conversation was unpleasant, and then he sent agents to enforce the law. It was a simple logic.

Megure also made similar suspicions. It is possible that Gallup killed Asakura out of anger after the failure of negotiations.

The murder weapon was also a Western knife.

Winette felt that Megure had been misled by Kogoro, and that he had attacked a suspect first. This kind of accusation without evidence was completely invalid. However, if the investigation continued along this line, the man who was an agent would also be caught.

She told Gallup everything, but Gallup firmly denied it and said that it was impossible for him to do anything to Asakura because he not only had ideas about the patented technology, but also wanted to invite Asakura to the United States for guidance. Even if things were not going smoothly, he would not do anything to cut off his own financial resources.

Megure also made a supporting analysis. He sent people to force Asakura to hand over the technology. When the threat was successful, he obtained the data, then killed the people to silence them. At the same time, he soaked the computer in the room in water to prevent the technology from leaking. From a logical point of view, there is no loophole in Megure's statement, but it is worth pondering that the computer was damaged by soaking in water. Previously, Haruka Etagawa and the organization explained that the data was in Asakura's possession and carried with him. Except for the need to copy the content first for the demonstration like this time, Asakura never kept any records. However, the computer was destroyed.

From this, it seems likely that this was done by someone who did not know Asakura, and Gallup's suspicion has been further increased.

At this time, Miss Winnett missed Kudo Shinichi a little bit, a free boy who was not restricted by the police and could investigate at will, and had superb reasoning ability. By the way, she was so unlucky, was she infected by his plague power?

Terrible!

"Professor Asakura never leaves any information outside of his personal computer," Ishii added.

Sagi Risa also sneered and said:

"Yes. He is just like Shylock in The Merchant of Venice. He doesn't allow us to have access to the complete research materials. He regards our joint results as his personal property. Well, someone may be able to get access to the materials from him."

She glanced at Haru Erakawa from the side.

"I wouldn't do that!" Haru Erakawa defended.

But, he really did it.

Sicheng Risa continued to say sarcastically:

"Who knows? Maybe you wanted to steal the information, but the professor found out and killed you to silence you. It's not impossible!"

Ishii interrupted her with a "That's enough".

"Don't act like a saint! You're the one who hates the professor the most among us, aren't you Ishii? Don't tell me you forgot that your paper on high reflectivity materials was plagiarized by the professor."

This scene always seems familiar.

Your social circle is really messy, Winnet thought.

……

500 Contradiction Transfer

"You're still the same, always dissatisfied with the professor. Last time when your thesis was rejected, you made a big fuss and said you wanted to kill the professor or something." Haru Eragawa rebuked Risa Jijo.

After a round of self-explosion, the murder case became even more confusing.

Megure muttered that everyone could have committed the crime. He started by asking Gallup what the four of them were doing at the time of the crime, hoping to find clues from them, but his wish was dashed, as none of the three students had an alibi. Gallup had his bodyguard to testify, which was invalid, and it was very likely that he had sent a killer to kill Asakura.

This is what Megure said.

Haru Eragawa left the room after the interview, which was testified by Reina Mizunashi, but there was no proof that he did not return later; Ishii said that he was alone in the lounge of the society, and Winette did not see him in the room. As for Risa Jijo, she also disappeared after leaving the bathroom.

She originally thought that there was a greater possibility that Haru Etagawa was murdered.

Just when Megure was feeling troubled by this, a loud bang was heard in the room, accompanied by an unexpected scream.

It was the reckless Risa Sagi who bumped into the full-length mirror in the room.

The mirror collapsed and the glass shattered all over the floor.

Winette looked at the broken mirror and felt a sense of disharmony. When she arrived at the scene, she did not observe Asakura's death carefully, but mainly listened to the description of another waiter. Asakura was stabbed to death on the chair, which was extremely strange. If it was a frontal stab, Asakura would definitely try to dodge.

As for situations that cannot be avoided.

Being given sleeping pills or being controlled.

Winnet took advantage of Megure's distress to check the scene which was being guarded by forensic personnel.

The bleeding was heavy.

Asakura's condition was very tragic, his abdomen was almost cut open. It didn't seem like a simple act of murder, but more like venting of anger.

Or there is another purpose.

According to the judgment of forensic personnel, the murderer stirred the internal organs after stabbing the murder weapon, and blood splattered everywhere. The gloves worn by the murderer were thrown next to the body intact, along with a blood-stained handkerchief.

rough.

The most direct feeling.

The legs of the chair were stained with blood, but the direction of the blood splatter was strange.

If the stab was from the front, the blood would be in the same direction as the angle of the knife, but the blood flowed to both sides of the stool.

The forensic officer also discovered this and reported it to Megure.

However, when faced with an unreasonable situation, people will always subconsciously look for a suitable explanation for it, and then ignore it, making the speculation conform to their own thinking logic. Megure is no exception. He murmured to himself, thinking that it was the unnatural bloodstains caused by the criminals when they stirred the wound.

"In this case, all of you are highly suspicious!" Megure said with sweat on his forehead.

Without his despised brother Maori, he was sweating profusely.

The case is at a stalemate.

Winnett was troubled by the continuous waste of time, so she deliberately misled the case in the wrong direction, to the man. She said that shortly before Risa Shiki screamed, she happened to see this man hurriedly leaving the elevator, and his behavior was very suspicious. She described his general appearance, wearing a suit, with hair about 5 or 6 centimeters long, tall for a Japanese, and between 30 and 40 years old.

When Megure heard this, he immediately sent someone to investigate.

The guest list is in the hands of the organizer, and his identity can be confirmed by verifying the absent members.

Megure probably had such expectations, but the result must have made him happy and disappointed, because this man would not be on the list.

However, she didn't know where he was hiding, waiting for his chance to strike.

After she reported the suspect, Reina Mizunashi quietly came over.

"that."

"what happened?"

Winnett, who was staring at the crime scene, turned and looked at Mizunashi Reina.

"Although it's inappropriate to make such a request now, could you please describe that person's characteristics again?"

Winnet had a cross ornament hanging around her waist.

Reina Mizunashi noticed this and pretended that she had also witnessed this suspicious man. After Winnet repeated it, she said that she had seen him at the venue.

As for whether it was true or not, Winnet was not sure.

"Well, find that person as soon as possible!"

Megure gave orders while holding the walkie-talkie, while Winnet continued to focus on the scene. The murder weapon and gloves were left behind, but one thing was missing.

From the beginning, Haru Etagawa's eyes have been wandering around the room, trying hard to find something.

Takagi, who was standing nearby, also noticed this.

"Mr. Eragawa, are you looking for something?"

"Ah... yes. I'm looking for the professor's USB drive."

Erikawa did not hide anything.

He said that Asakura valued the data more than his life, and if it weren't for the need to prepare in advance for this exhibition, he would not have been willing to copy the data onto a USB flash drive. And now, the small item that he always kept close to him has not been confiscated by the forensic personnel.

"Could it have been taken away by the murderer?" Takagi asked.

"It is indeed possible."

As if he had found the direction of investigation at once, Takagi immediately reported the matter. Megure once again focused his attention on Gallup. The person who wanted the USB drive the most was undoubtedly this foreigner who was eager for technology.

And that suspicious man was most likely sent by him.

"ok I admit it……"

Gallup simply said that he had actually reached an agreement with Asakura, and the other party was willing to hand over the technology to him, but due to the relationship between public opinion, they signed a secret agreement. The suspicious man was the one he sent to recover the data, but Asakura was already dead before he met Asakura.

"We speculate that there is a mysterious criminal organization behind this."

Winette translated for Megure.

When he heard about this mysterious organization, Megure showed an expression like he was lying to a child, and asked Gallup to call the person here immediately. Whether the murderer was this person still needed to be re-determined. Perhaps because he was afraid that his people would be killed by Gin again, Gallup called the man.

The other person's name is Mitaka Sho.

At least that's the name on my passport.

Although Gallup assumed the obligation of cooperation that a good citizen should have, this approach was not feasible for the organization, and the fate of turning to the official was the same: death.

It seems that he is in such a desperate situation that he has to ask the Japanese police for help.

At his call, the man Winnett had seen before returned to the scene. As expected, he did not leave the building, but was lurking somewhere. It seemed that Gin had eliminated their original candidate, leaving them trapped in a corner and in disarray.

Since it's been brought to my doorstep, I'll just take the blame.

Miss Winnet already had a rough idea of ​​the whole process of the crime, but finding the real culprit was not within her mission. However, it would be very easy to make Gallup and his team desperate.

……

501 Finalize the Script

As soon as Mitaka Sho appeared, all the police's attention was focused on him.

After a series of questions, the case did not make any progress, but instead there were more suspects.

Mitaka Sho's confession was almost the same as that of the male waiter who witnessed the scene.

After learning that Gallup had laid all his cards on the table, he added, with great reluctance:
