Chapter Seven Hundred and Thirty-Three - Shuji Luye
"No, if we commit a new crime during the prosecution period, I think it is unlikely, because the investigation of this case and the investigation of another case are independent in most cases." Conan denied Qianyu's idea. "Even if we can prove that the case 18 years ago is related to the murderer, we must find a felony case 3-15 years ago in a haystack, and find the relationship between this case and this murderer. This is too expensive and the possibility of failure is too high."
"That may be another situation. I'll ask first," Sato shook his head and started to make another call. "I'm somewhat in the legal department... I hope that if I ask, I should be able to confirm."
"In addition, what was the 10-second video like?" Qianyu asked again. "Will it be like what Officer Takagi said, there was any valuable information in the previous video that was less than 10 seconds, which could allow Sato Masayoshi to correctly determine that the prisoner was his friend... If you were asking if you had any playmates of those ball sports, would it be Officer Takagi who found some information that showed in those 10 seconds that had some common characteristics contained in these sports?"
"This, I remember that he should have killed a bank guard with a buttstock, but I really can't remember the details very clearly..." Sato shook his head. "But I want to search for a lesson, there should be relevant information. Do you want to go and check it out?"
"Then... help us get a taxi?" Qianyu and Conan exchanged a look and said. "And should we call Arimi together? After all, I think it's still difficult for Officer Sato to take Arimi alone, right?"
Compared to the tracking of the arsonist who is in the distance, saving Takagi Police Officer Aki Prefecture is more important - and as long as you find who the murderer is, Takagi will be saved immediately.
...
At 10:25 in the night.
"..." Qianyu and Conan sat at the table, watching the short ten-second video that was repeatedly played on the projector and the comparison between some other videos. Next to them, Arimi, who was already full of energy, had fallen asleep - it may be that the afternoon's running around seriously consumed the child's lack of energy, or it may be that this extremely boring and boring content that had lasted for more than an hour.
"Wait a minute," Qian Yu suddenly discovered something. "Look, although this style of play is very similar to the standard baseball style, I always feel that the charging movement of him pulling the bat forward... is not very common?"
"Ah?" Conan obviously does not have the ability to summarize like Qianyu's auxiliary unit, but he still has some basic knowledge of baseball, so after carefully reading it several times, he realized what Qianyu's finger was. "It seems to be a little different, but can this really find a prisoner?"
"Maybe, but we need to confirm the identities of his friends first, and then find someone who is absolutely no suspicion and ask if anyone has such a strange attack habit." Qianyu said not very sure. "After all, think about it, for Sato Masayoshi, it should not be difficult to see his friend's attack habit."
Just as they were thinking about this, Conan received a text message from Officer Sato on his cell phone.
[News from the Ministry of Justice, one of the baseball friends Shuji Kano, has lived in Italy for three years, so the prosecution period is until twelve o'clock tonight.] - Mikako Sato
"Kan-O?" Qianyu suddenly seemed to have discovered something. "Ka-No? Is this the same spelling as Ka-O?"
"It's possible!" Conan also realized this. "It was deliberately written as Katakana to imply that it needs to be interpreted in Roman sound, and in this case, Kayono can be transformed into Kano!"
"And only he has the motivation to interrupt at this time," Qianyu nodded. "If the lawsuit was initiated at that time, everything would be wasted on the last day..."
"But now all our efforts have been wasted." Conan suddenly showed a helpless expression and said to Qianyu. "One and a half hours are too late... The prosecution process is not enough. From this perspective, he has succeeded. As long as we cannot provide evidence that he attacked Officer Takagi, the prosecution period cannot be extended."
"Then we have to find the scene of his attack, and then find evidence of his crimes, and continue it all." Qianyu was not hit by the fact that he was on the verge of failure. "And think about it...even if we can't prosecute, at least after the prosecution period has passed, Officer Sato can have a good talk with that person."
...
At 11:55 in the middle of the night, at the door of a shop called "AUZZROO" (Italian "Blue"), Mikako Sato stood in front of the glass door, looking at Shuji Kano who was sitting in front of a table and quietly staring at the clock.
"Shuji Kano, open the door!" Sato Mikako tried to break in, but found that the glass door was tied up by iron chains. "Let me in!"
"Ah..." Shiji Kano was shocked. After taking a look at Mikako Sato, who was obviously not good at coming, he quickly stood up. When Officer Sato thought he was coming to open the door for him, he turned off the lights in the store and let himself disappear from Mikako Sato's gaze.
"Hey!" Officer Sato began to slap the door hard - the power was really great, so that the iron bolts and chains of the glass door collided, making constant collision sounds, and attracted the attention of one or two people passing by nearby.
The response to her was endless silence - it was not until more than five minutes later that Shuji Kano appeared in front of Officer Sato as if he had just heard the sound of slapping the door.
It is now 0:00:01 the next day, and everyone knows exactly what this means.
"..." Opening the store door with relief, Shuji Kano opened the door with a very relieved expression, watching Mikako Sato standing in front of him - her eyes were filled with tears.
"Starting a minute ago, the extended prosecution period for the 'Chousiro' incident against you has completely passed," Sato Mikako suppressed her emotions and said word by word. "Now, can you tell me the truth?"
