After checking the rope, Chi Feichi looked around the house, then went out and walked out of the forest without speaking to the caretaker the whole time.
Even if something happens, they can call or send emails. There is no need to say it in front of Matsumoto Kiyonaga...
Late at night, everything in the Rice Flower Forest was quiet.
There were no cars on the roadside or in the parking lot outside the forest. There was only a Porsche 356A parked on the roadside. After Chi Feichi got in the car, he quickly turned around and drove away.
"How is Matsumoto's condition?"
It was normal for Gin to smoke while driving. While talking with a cigarette in his mouth, he also had his hand free to use the cigarette lighter to light a cigarette.
The vodka didn't come, so Chi Feichi didn't run to the back seat. He tore off the guard's disguise, revealed Lark's disguise, and whispered, "Looks like he's dying, but he won't die if he survives for another month. Over there in Ireland
is there any news?"
"Hmph..." Gin sneered and stuffed the cigarette lighter back, "The night before yesterday, he stayed at the Metropolitan Police Department overnight and did not contact him at the agreed time. I was ready to find a way to confirm his situation, but
He called me back ten minutes later and said that he accidentally fell asleep. Even if he had a problem with me, he should find out when it was!"
Chi Feichi could understand how unhappy Gin Jiu was.
Calculating the time, Ireland should have started investigating Kudo Shinichi long ago, but in any case, losing contact during the operation and delaying contact are taboo.
Ireland spent the night at the Metropolitan Police Department the night before. If his identity was exposed, there would be police officers inside and outside the house, upstairs and downstairs, and he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
It would be fine if they were peripheral members who didn't know much about the organization. If they were caught, nothing would happen. However, Ireland is a core member. Once Ireland is discovered and arrested by the police, there is a risk that a large amount of information will be leaked to the organization.
In order to prevent Ireland from being caught by the police, Belmode helped train his acting skills for several days. He sent a car loaded with bombs to the Metropolitan Police Department parking lot, and Gin went to arrange it near Matsumoto Kiyonaga's residence.
The Logistics General Manager... no, even Rum was not idle either. He arranged all kinds of transportation, gasoline, bombs and other things where they might be needed.
In addition, Gin is ready to respond, and he can enter and exit the Metropolitan Police Department when the case progresses. Regardless of whether the organization also has the idea of silencing the case if it fails, with these preparations in advance, Ireland can escape safely if he is smarter.
If Ireland misses the agreed contact time the night before, it will send a red light signal to them, asking them to consider the possibility of Ireland being caught. Gin, who is responsible for operational security and response, must arrange for people to confirm the situation based on Ireland's location.
action, but Ireland called again and said, 'It's okay, I just fell asleep'.
He can't even do this kind of thing.
It is estimated that Gin will have contacted him a little later in the evening and is preparing to blow up the car in the Metropolitan Police Parking Lot.
If this isn’t torturing people, what is it?
Isn't this provoking other people's sensitive nerves?
"I have already told that person about this," Gin continued with a cold look, "He did not stay at the Metropolitan Police Department last night and tonight, and he also had phone calls at the agreed time. The current police investigation
It’s still going on. We’ll have to wait and see if there are any gains tomorrow. What that person means is that before he shows any signs of betraying the organization, everything should be focused on completing the mission.”
…
The next day, the Metropolitan Police held another small meeting.
"What? Not playing mahjong?" Mouri Kogoro confirmed in surprise.
"Yes," Shiratori Rensaburo said, "According to the investigation and evidence collection, the six victims do not play mahjong."
"So, what is the direction of the investigation that Brother Chi mentioned?" Mumu Shisan asked, "Is there any progress?"
Rensaburo Shiratori looked down at his notepad, "As for the meaning of the criminal information on the mahjong tiles, we are still investigating and ruling out..."
Chi Feichi sat aside with his teacher and was not surprised.
Currently, there is still one missing mahjong tile. It is difficult to find out what it means by just looking at AAEHZ and an upside down L.
"However," Shiratori Rensaburo said, with a relieved smile on his face, "the investigation of 'Tanabata, Kyo' has made progress!"
"Oh?" Mumu Shisan's eyes lit up.
Ireland, who was wearing Matsumoto Kiyonaga's disguise, also turned his head and looked over, but his eyes stayed more on Chi Feichi.
"When we found out whether the six victims played mahjong or not, we also confirmed their movements during the Chinese Valentine's Day in recent years," Shiratori Rensaburo put down his notepad, raised his head and smiled, "What we know so far is that two years ago,
The first victim, Mr. Jinno, the second victim, Ms. Kaga, and the third victim, Mr. Okakura, were all in Kyoto on Tanabata two days ago. Mr. Jinno and Ms. Kaga were traveling in the past, and Mr. Okakura was there for
The parliamentary secretary was on a business trip for work. In addition, the fourth victim, Ms. Kitajima, also went to Kyoto for a business trip last year on Chinese Valentine's Day. The remaining fifth and sixth victims have not yet been investigated because they run their own stores and real estate companies.
I am still investigating through their family members and friends to find out where they were on Chinese Valentine's Day two years ago..."
Megure Thirteen nodded, "Looking at it this way, the clue 'Tanabata, Kyoto' left behind by the sixth victim, Mr. Ryuzaki, before his death, probably refers to Kyoto on the Tanabata Festival two years ago! The six victims may all be
Gather somewhere in Kyoto on that day!”
Yamato Gansuke looked at Shiratori Rensaburo and asked aloud, "Have you contacted the police station over there to confirm whether their whereabouts overlapped when they went to Kyoto on Chinese Valentine's Day two years ago?"
Shiratori Rensaburo suppressed his smile and looked at the fake Matsumoto Kiyonaga with a serious look, "Manager, we have contacted our colleagues in Kyoto to confirm the whereabouts of the six of them in Kyoto on Tanabata as soon as possible. I believe it won't be long before we
There’s a clue!”
"Very good," Ireland said loudly and solemnly despite Matsumoto Kiyonaga's disguise, "Let's continue the investigation in this direction, and we must arrest the murderer as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" All the police officers nodded seriously.
"Then, I can talk about my findings..."
Chi Feichi suddenly spoke up. Seeing others looking over in surprise, he continued calmly, "In the past two days, I have researched information related to Chinese Valentine's Day and Beijing on the Internet. I got a lot of information, including the Chinese Valentine's Day in Kyoto that happened last year.
Robbery and murder cases during festivals, serial car accidents at highway intersections, a fire at a budget hotel on Chinese Valentine's Day the year before last, and a robbery at a large gem store on Chinese Valentine's Day three years ago... There are also some celebration reports, but the first, second, and third
All the victims had been to Kyoto on Chinese Valentine's Day two years ago, so..."
"This serial murder case is probably related to the fire in the Qixi economy hotel two years ago," Yamato Gansuke took over the words in a deep voice, raised his eyes and smiled at Chi Feichi, "right?"
Chi Feichi nodded, "Although they may have gathered at a celebration or other places on the Chinese Valentine's Day two days ago, they are not from Kyoto. They need to stay in a hotel when they arrive there. Check their check-in information that day, and say
Maybe I’ll get the clues faster.”
Anyway, the police want to check the whereabouts of the six victims that day, so they can check the check-in information first.
Memu Shisan looked at Shiratori Rensaburo, "Shiratori..."
"Yes!" Shiratori Rensaburo stood up and said, "I will contact my colleagues in Kyoto to investigate the check-in information of the six victims!"
"By the way, find someone to go to the budget hotel that caught fire to investigate." Yamato Gansuke reminded.
Chi Fei didn't say anything for a while, wondering if he would push it too fast, causing the plot to develop in a strange place.
However, he had no choice but to help investigate this case. Not only was he entrusted by the police, he also asked him to tell the police if he found anything, and use the power of the police as soon as possible to find the murderer who took out the memory card.
It has been seven days since Ireland infiltrated the Metropolitan Police Department. The longer it takes, the more likely it is that something unexpected will happen and the organization will be noticed by the police.
With the ability he showed, it was impossible for him to find no useful clues, so he couldn't paddle the whole way.
When Mumu Shisan saw Shiratori Rensanlang going to make a phone call, he said to Chi Feichi, "Brother Chi, thank you very much for coming to help this time..."
Chi Feichi looked at Mu Mu Shisan: "..."
Don't forget his teacher...
Megure Thirteen understood instantly. Thinking that Kogoro Maori had helped the police solve many cases, he could not favor one over the other, so he smiled and said, "Of course, the same goes for Brother Maori. Thank you for your hard work. You master and apprentice have joined forces.
I’m afraid I’m still slightly better than Brother Kudo!”
Chi Feichi: "..."
It was not his original intention to drag Kudo Shinichi out to whip the corpse. Should he blame Kudo Shinichi for being involved in too many cases in the past, which made Megure Thirteen...start to miss a missing person?
"Oh, Officer Megure, you are so polite," Mouri Kogoro saw Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the former boss, scratching his head in a rare and humble manner and smiled, "We are very happy to be able to help!"
"But, Kudo..." Fake Matsumoto Kiyonaga turned to look at Megure Thirteen, "Is this the high school detective Shinichi Kudo you used to call to assist in case investigations?"
Mumu Shisan nodded hurriedly, "Yes."
"So, it seems that I haven't heard much about him," Ogino Ayami said curiously, "I have never heard about Mr. Chi before. Is it popular for Tokyo detectives to keep a low profile recently?"
"Perhaps I'm tired of playing the detective game," Yokomori Shigego said with a bad look on his face. He still felt that it was embarrassing to rely on detectives to solve cases. The police should work hard to improve themselves and try not to always rely on detectives. "The detective has lost interest in solving cases.
After that, we can only rely on our police to carry it out from beginning to end."
Mouri Kogoro half a month later saw Henggou realize again.
This guy really doesn't know how to say a nice word...
Henggou sat behind his younger brother, waving and smiling at Mouri Kogoro.
Don't mind, don't quarrel, otherwise he will be in trouble.
"I think it's not that he lost interest, but that he suddenly kept a low profile," Takagi Wataru said with a smile, "Before this, he was still helping solve cases at the Didan High School campus festival."
Chi Feichi: "..."
He was also present at the Didan High School Campus Festival. It is conceivable that after Ireland investigates the case of the Didan High School Campus Festival, Ireland will definitely no longer suspect that he is a member of the organization, but it may suspect that he has a good relationship with Kudo Shinichi or something.
Then……
It was Belmode who was anxious, not him.
Fortunately, he was prepared at the beginning. Even if he was suspected, he only had to say, "I also suspected it at the time. Belmode said that Kudo Shinichi was disguised by her," and then he would be fine.
