My lover is this organization

Chapter 464: Partner of Justice? Stop it, you are just hypocritical!

Of course, Kogoro Mori's reasoning is impossible.

Putting aside the logical loopholes, let alone what Qin Wuque's motive was for killing Bingchuan Shangwu, the decisive evidence alone is simply not enough.

Kogoro Mori said that Hikawa Shogo was killed by Qin Wuque in the middle of the night, but Sonoko alone can prove what Qin Wuque was doing last night.

Kogoro Maori said that it was Qin Wuque who snatched Hikawa Shogo's stun gun, killed the man on the snowfield, and then put on the same boots as Hikawa Shogo, and stepped back to the lake step by step following the footprints and left.

But he neither found Bingchuan Shangwu's stun gun on Qin Wuque, nor did he find the so-called same pair of boots.

To sum up, Kogoro Mori's reasoning is simply nonsense.

Just standing stupidly in the vast snowfield and thinking hard would not lead to the truth of the case, so after simply taking photos to record the crime scene and calling the police, everyone went straight back to the hotel in the village and waited for the police to arrive.

The police from the Niigata Prefectural Police Department arrived at Kitazawa Village not long after. After all, it is a tourist scenic spot, and they could not be vague when such a serious case involving human life occurred.

The police split into two groups, one group went to the vicinity of Lake Sawajiri to clean up the bodies, and the other group went to the hotel to record statements.

According to Toono Mizuki, since there were many people present when she and Mori Kogoro and others had agreed to stroll around Kitazawa Village last night, theoretically anyone who heard about this incident last night could have used it as a means of committing a crime.

In contrast, Qin Wuque, Yuanzi and others, who only learned about the matter this morning, were cleared of suspicion.

As expected, the people who needed to be called in to record their statements were the people who were in the hotel lobby last night.

In addition to the dead Hikawa Shogo, there are Tono Mizuki, Yamao Keisuke, Tatehara Fuyumi and Muto Takehiko.

As the first person to discover the crime scene, Kogoro Mouri certainly could not leave, so he was present when the police were recording his statement, adding something from time to time, and unceremoniously taking the credit for deducing that the case was a homicide.

In response to this, Qin Wuque and Kudo Shinichi, who were sitting nearby and listening, did not make any comment.

The former is because they don’t care at all, and the latter is because it has happened too many times and they have long been accustomed to it.

The old father was still surrounded by the police, and Xiaolan, as a daughter, could not just go out and play on her own. What's more, she witnessed the crime scene with her own eyes, so any good mood she had for the trip was ruined.

And of course, Sonoko was there with her best friend.

"How can I encounter such a thing when traveling..."

Looking at her father who was getting along well with a group of policemen not far away, Xiaolan murmured with some worry.

But it was heard by Yuanzi who was beside him.

"It's okay, Lan, just relax."

Sonoko patted her best friend's shoulder and smiled like a CP fan.

"Even if Uncle Kogoro can't solve it, you still have your man!"

"What do you mean by 'my man'? You're so silly, Sonoko." Xiaolan blushed slightly.

"Hehe~" Yuanzi's laughter revealed a meaning of "I understand, I understand everything".

"Well, even if you can't solve the problem of your man, Lan, I still have my brother Qin~"

"……what?"

Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed and thought that this major didn't seem to be suitable for her.

Yuanzi was full of confidence: "No problem, my brother Qin is invincible!"

"Uh……"

Just as the two girls were whispering, Kudo Shinichi patted Qin Wuque's shoulder calmly.

"Huh?" Doghead glanced at him, not understanding what he meant.

"Do you have any ideas about those people?" The high school detective signaled with his eyes the people who were recording their statements not far away.

"Why do you ask about this?"

"Nothing, just for reference."

"Hmm..." Qin Wuque pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his chin, "Among those people, only Shanwei Xijie should have killed someone. If we talk about the degree of suspicion, I think he is the most suspicious."

"How did you know that?" Kudo Shinichi was stunned.

"The face and temperament."

"Yes, yes..."

Kudo Shinichi didn't understand any of this mysterious stuff, so he just nodded.

"In fact, I also think he is the most suspicious."

"Oh?"

This answer surprised Qin Wuque a little.

Kudo Shinichi explained to himself: "Do you remember how they behaved last night? I remember it very clearly. Hikawa Shogo took out an old newspaper from his pocket, and then Yamao Keisuke's face changed and became very ugly."

"Well, it seems so. I remember it was a report about the car accident in Shanwei Kejie." Qin Wuque said casually.

"Then do you remember a small detail at that time?" Kudo Shinichi looked serious.

"When Hikawa Shogo took out the newspaper, the side with the report was folded on the outside. Generally speaking, if there is something important on a page, a normal person would fold the side with the important content inside."

"In other words, on the other side of that newspaper, there might be something more important to Hikawa Shogo, and that's what really made Yamao Keisuke change his expression."

"Ah."

Qin Wuque nodded slightly in agreement, then shrugged.

"That's a good point, but what does that have to do with me?"

"Just a favor?" Kudo Shinichi licked his cheeks, "I've already checked the body, there's nothing on it, so I guess the paper should still be in Hikawa Shogo's room, together with some clothes."

He didn't say the second half of his sentence, which was - but now Hikawa Shogo's room has been blocked by the police, and he can't get in at all.

"Have you ever considered another question?" Qin Wuque said.

"what?"

"Assuming that the criminal is Yamao Keisuke, and assuming that the piece of paper was the motive for Yamao Keisuke to kill Hikawa Shogo, then perhaps Hikawa Shogo originally had the piece of paper with him, but Yamao Keisuke took the paper away after killing him. In that case, the paper is not in Hikawa Shogo's room at all, but is more likely to have been destroyed by Yamao Keisuke."

"This... this possibility cannot be ruled out." Kudo Shinichi scratched his head, "But we have to try it anyway."

"Allow me to refuse." Qin Wuque answered decisively.

"Why...?" Kudo Shinichi was dumbfounded.

"You are committing a crime by instigating others to enter the police-blocked area and take evidence without permission, my partner of justice. But how can a partner of justice break the law?"

Qin Wuque tilted his head to look at him.

"Which is more important to you, the law or the truth?"

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

I sent it. Today even 461 was taken down. It was released again after a small section was deleted. I asked Sister Nanxi and she said it was a normal review process. I guess it was really targeted by the review.

numb.

Chapter 465 Happy Chinese Valentine's Day~~~

"Forget it. I don't want to know which is more important to you, the law or the truth. I'm not interested in interrogating you."

Qin Wuque breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up slightly, and took out another small box from his body as if by magic.

The box opened, revealing a small red and white capsule that was powerful enough to trigger Kudo Shinichi's DNA.

"If you want it, go get it yourself. If you become a child, you should be able to get in a lot of places. Anyway, don't come to me. This matter has nothing to do with me."

"……Hello!"

Kudo Shinichi was furious.

What kind of person is this? Not only did he knock him out and feed him drugs a few months ago, forcing him to turn into a child, but at least he gave him the antidote in the end.

It’s only been two days since he recovered and he has to take medicine again?

What's more, he has to eat it on his own initiative!

"Of course you can choose not to eat. I won't force you."

Qin Wuque flipped his palm and took back the capsule, letting out a faint "tsk".

"Besides, aren't you known as the savior of the Japanese police? Once your name is known, these policemen from the mountain villages will kneel down and yell, "Brother, take me." Well... although you are neither a police officer nor have a search warrant, and what you did is not in compliance with the law, the rule is that the dead are alive. As the savior of the police force, what's wrong with searching the room of the deceased?"

"It seems... to be true?" Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment.

All we can say is that he was disturbed by his habitual thinking.

Before, when he was hiding his identity as Conan, every time he entered the crime scene to look for something, he had to be sneaky and would easily be discovered by the police investigation department on the scene and then kicked out on the spot.

If Uncle Maori finds out, the consequences will be even more serious. He will definitely get a punch on the head.

All these experiences have made him have to act like a thief when he wants to enter a crime scene. It has become a habit for him.

"It makes sense!"

With Qin Wuque's guidance, Kudo Shinichi suddenly became enlightened.

He slammed his palm decisively, stood up from the chair, and ran straight to the second floor without looking back.

Seeing this, Qin Wuque rolled his eyes in his heart with an expressionless face.

It is also against the explicit provisions of the law, but it doesn't matter because you are doing it to solve the case and for the justice in your heart... What if you are the protagonist in a superhero movie?

What kind of double standard is this...

The police downstairs are still taking statements.

Relying on his dual identities as a high school detective and the savior of the Japanese police, Kudo Shinichi easily sneaked into the room where Hikawa Shogo had lived before, and successfully found the coat that Hikawa Shogo wore last night and the small notebook with old newspapers in the closet.

Most of the records in the small notebook were trivial matters, but because the newspaper was folded and sandwiched inside, the protruding touch was very obvious, and he turned to that page casually.

"That's it!" Kudo Shinichi recognized it at the first sight.

He pulled the folded newspaper out of the notebook and unfolded it.

The outside of the folded newspaper still had familiar headlines and content, which they had seen last night.

And on the inside it is written -

"The billion yen jewelry store robbery?"

Kudo Shinichi murmured and read out the headline printed in large bold font on the inside of the newspaper.

He still had a vague impression of this case. It was a vicious robbery and murder case that happened when he was in the third grade of elementary school.

A jewelry store in Tokyo was robbed late at night. The proprietress, who was the only person in the store, was killed, and jewelry worth about 1 billion yen at the time was also stolen.

The murder and the huge amount of robbery made this case a huge scandal at the time.

What's worse is that the criminal has not been caught so far, and we don't even know who did it.

But why did Yamao Keisuke's face change when he saw this news?

Kudo Shinichi flipped through the newspaper, puzzled.

Suddenly, he stumbled upon an extremely tiny detail.

The day the robbery took place and the day when Yamao Keisuke got into a car accident and fled the scene while speeding and drunk driving were the same day as the date written in the newspaper!

On the same day, what does that mean?

In an instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck Kudo Shinichi's mind, and all the trivial details were connected together at this moment to form a complete plot line.

If... I mean if, if the robbery eight years ago was committed by Yamao Keisuke himself, then it would not be difficult to explain why his face changed drastically after seeing this news.

The logic behind Hikawa Shogo's behavior can also be explained in this way.

He kept the newspaper not to poke a sore spot at his old classmate, which would be meaningless and harmful to himself, but to use it to threaten Yamao Keisuke, who robbed 1 billion yen worth of jewelry eight years ago, in an attempt to get a share of the profits.

In addition to what Yuanzi said before, the two people in the tourist center asked the service desk for maps of the old Kitazawa Village and the new Kitazawa Village respectively.

To sum it up, Yamao Keisuke robbed a jewelry store in Tokyo eight years ago, but on the way back to his hometown, he accidentally killed Tono Mizuki's eighteen-year-old sister Natsuki.

He chose to flee because of the stolen goods from the jewelry store in his car. He did not turn himself in until he returned to his hometown and found a place to hide the jewelry.
