The man who held the power of the Chief of the 1st Investigation Section of the Metropolitan Police just sat quietly on the chair without moving, his eyes closed tightly and his breath lost, all telling everyone present a fact——
He is dead, physically dead.
"We didn't find any abnormalities in the section chief's hair or blood. I'm afraid a detailed autopsy is needed to determine the cause of his death."
The police officers from the Forensics Section showed up in front of the Section 1 policemen headed by Mu Mu Shisan, trying to calm down their indigestible shock, and bravely told the results of the inspection that found nothing: "Judging from the condition of the corpse, this
There were no signs of struggle or struggle in the office."
"Who has been in and out of the section chief's office?" Mumu Shisan put his hands behind his back, his face as gloomy as water.
"There were not many people, and they were all concentrated during working hours during the day. After get off work in the evening, the section chief went to the cafeteria to have a meal, and then returned to his office. In the meantime, he only made a few phone calls with his subordinates and did not talk to anyone. We met each other until the explosion happened..."
"..."
Mu Mu Shisan's expression became uglier as he listened.
This is the Metropolitan Police Department, and this office is the office of the Chief of the Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department.
But now, that mysterious criminal organization has completely trampled and rubbed the faces of all the police officers in the First Investigation Section.
"In the police department, everyone ran away and the interrogation room was empty. They must have taken advantage of the commotion caused by the explosion to escape. The police force on duty at night is empty and the spirit is easy to slack off."
Miwako Sato, who came from the other side of the corridor at some unknown time, glanced at the situation in the office, exchanged glances with Katsuki Uehara, stepped forward and whispered the report into Megure Thirteen's ear.
"Sure enough, I knew it."
Megure Thirteen's face twitched, and his hands under the cuffs clenched his fists. He took several deep breaths before calming down. He turned to look at his capable subordinate who was inspecting the crime scene: "Brother Uehara, here
I'll leave it to you and Sato, I'm going to report the details to Manager Matsumoto."
"Yes, police department."
Katsuki Uehara, who was squatting next to the section chief's body, couldn't help but raised his head and responded when he heard the words. After watching Megure Thirteen and others hurriedly leave, he again focused on the surroundings of the corpse in front of him.
Miwako Sato, who also put on gloves and started to help, came over. When she lowered her head, she saw the empty medicine bottle in the drawer. She pursed her lips and whispered: "Uehara."
"Ah, I saw it. If nothing else, he should have committed suicide after swallowing the medicine in the medicine bottle." Uehara Katsumi, who knew what his partner wanted to say, was still searching for something on the ground and didn't even look up when he heard the words.
Lift the way.
"What are you looking for?"
"There were no signs of shooting, scuffle or struggle. It turned out that there were no traces of anything." Uehara Katsumi, who had barely lifted the office floor tiles one by one, slowly stood up, put one hand on the large desk, and stared at the body.
The sudden corpse made me feel a little emotional.
APTX-4869.
Involving a traceless assassination in a winery and a medicine bottle, the first thing that came to his mind was this poison known as A-drug.
Except for a few chosen people such as Kudo Shinichi, all the others who took the brewery's A drug died without exception. Even the autopsy could not detect any abnormal death.
So, here comes the problem.
It is known that drug A is one of the organization's secret drugs, but why does the retiring Section Chief Wada have it in his hands?
Or is it not a drug?
With one hand on the edge of the table and one hand on his hip, Uehara Katsumi kept looking at the body of the section chief Wada Saburo, his eyes narrowed slightly, and various thoughts flashed alternately in his mind: "Where is the section chief's home? Where is his family?"
"Takagi and Chiba were ordered to go to the section chief's house before you arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department. The results should be out soon." Miwako, who kept looking through the documents in the drawer, had a solemn expression: "Uehara, are we being tricked?
One dish?"
"If nothing else, it should be."
Playing with the empty medicine bottle and looking up at the simple decoration of the office, Uehara Katsumi made way for his colleagues in the forensics department and sighed: "Do you know what I am thinking of now, Sato?"
Hearing this, Sato Miwako moved her hands and raised her eyes to look at him: "What?"
"Do you still remember the mahjong that Gin mentioned?"
Under the woman's astonished gaze, Uehara Katsuki picked up the black ballpoint pen in the pen holder, drew a mahjong symbol on the pale white medicine bottle, and then placed it in the center of the desk——
"Now, he plays the card in his hand that will allow him to win, right under your and my nose."
The index finger of his right hand circled back and forth between the two of them, and there was no trace of sadness or joy in Uehara Katsuki's tone: "The identity of a police officer has its limitations, and Gin knows this very well.
"Even if we catch him, as a police officer, I am not qualified to negotiate terms with Gin face to face, even if he is temporarily detained by us. And it happens that the big fish in the Metropolitan Police Department happens to be a high-ranking official."
Miwako Sato opened her mouth, and after several attempts to speak, she interrupted and said, "I'm sorry Uehara, your previous intuition was right."
"It's just intuition, there is no evidence, and my position is not firm." After taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling, Uehara Katsumi, with one hand on his hips, said in a not lonely tone: "Run away now, I'll be brave again next time."
Just come and catch me again."
"..."
Sato Miwako looked at everything in the office. After patting her forehead, she still felt a little unacceptable. She murmured to herself: "I still don't understand, how dare they do this? This is the Metropolitan Police Department, even if there is Tongtian behind them.
Background, openly provoking a state violence institution...how dare they?"
Covertly provoking a regular country's violent law enforcement agencies and frontally provoking them are two completely different concepts.
No matter how bad the image of the Japanese police is to the outside world, being ridiculed by a criminal organization is almost unheard of.
Katsuki Uehara was very calm about this: "If you don't dare, the worst thing you can do is leave Japan to avoid the limelight. Anyway, they have escaped now."
Gin is a ruthless person who dares to drive an armed helicopter to shoot down Tokyo Tower.
"Then what should we do next?" Miwako rubbed her eyebrows while trying to keep herself calm.
"awaiting notice."
Katsuki Uehara’s answer was concise and concise: “This case is no longer something we can intervene in, even if it was initially investigated by us.
"What's more, a section chief is dead now."
Speaking of which, in the original timeline, what was the reason why Matsumoto Kiyonaga came to search for the first section chief?
Uehara Katsumi frowned slightly when he thought of this, recalling the structure of the Metropolitan Police Department in Conan.
He only remembered that the management officer Matsumoto Kiyonaga would be promoted to the chief of the First Investigation Section in the future, and Kuroda Bie, who was a public security officer, would take over his position and become the new management officer of the First Investigation Section...
As for the section chief... I have no impression——
Wait a minute, Matsumoto Kiyonaga's rise to power in the original timeline was also due to the purge within the Metropolitan Police Department, right?
If I remember correctly, Kuroda Hei was on the way to investigate as soon as he appeared?
Uehara Katsumi scratched his temples, thinking a lot in his mind.
The death of Wada Saburo, the current section chief, made him think of the future Matsumoto Kiyonaga and even Kuroda Hei's rise to power.
According to common sense, if Wada Saburo had not been exposed, he should have been able to survive until his retirement and Matsumoto Kiyonaga would take over; but now due to his appearance, Gin was arrested, and Wada Saburo was forced to expose himself and exchange himself for Gin.
Waiting for someone to escape...?
This seems to have formed a closed loop of thinking. The only shortcoming is... he has no evidence now.
"Ring ring ring!"
"Chiba? How are you doing over there?"
"Achieve a lot."
In Hotan Mansion, under the bright lights, Chiba squeezed the documents in her hands tightly and took several deep breaths: "If possible, you'd better ask Uehara to come here and take a look.
"So far, we have found a draft employment contract and some supplementary agreements between him and Kenzo Masayama at the section chief's home. The salary package is so generous that it makes people jealous.
"As for the section chief's wife and son, they have been brought back to the Metropolitan Police Department from Takagi. Police Chief Odagiri will personally investigate."
