"One Takasugi consortium is not enough, now a Suzuki consortium is added to the mix. Is this prisoner crazy?"
"Perhaps he is also a member of a drug-taking gang and wants to take revenge on society?"
Mihua Central Hospital, in the president's conference room.
After witnessing Matsumoto Kiyonaga taking Megure Thirteen out to talk to people from the Suzuki Consortium, the men and women in front of the board whispered, while Conan, who was still looking up at the various messages on the board, could not help but twitch when he heard this.
:
Which prisoner wants to take revenge on society and takes revenge like this...
"Let's go Conan, don't stay here and disturb the police work, I will take you to school."
"Okay~Uncle Maori."
After determining the possible locations of the last three bombs, the next investigation was extremely boring and time-consuming work. This was something that Kogoro Mori could not intervene in, so he went very decisively.
After nodding goodbye to Katsuki Uehara and Miwako Sato, Kogoro Mori left the conference room with Conan, who jumped off the chair.
"Judging from Takasugi Toshihiko's confession, he did not know that his secret of wanting to poison his fiancée on the wedding day had been known, and all arrangements were still carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan.
"In other words, if what he said is true, it means that Miyazawa Nobu's death in a car accident was most likely arranged by this mysterious murderer."
Watching the young and old people leaving, thinking of Mouri Kogoro's client, Miwako Sato turned her head sideways and looked at the death message of Nobu Miyazawa hanging alone on the whiteboard, frowning slightly.
So far, among the information they have found in Nobu Miyazawa's car accident, the only thing that can be linked to the subsequent serial murders is the fish tank——
When the seven victims of the serial murderer were found in an abandoned building in the suburbs, each of them was immersed in a fish tank filled with blood, and these seven fish tanks happened to be one of the items on the soft furnishing list signed by Nobu Miyazawa.
In other words, judging from the existing clues, strictly speaking, the death of Nobu Miyazawa was actually the beginning of this serial killing.
"Uehara, do you think it's possible that the murderer who killed Miyazawa Nobu and the murderer who later committed this series of crimes...are not the same person?"
After thinking for a moment, Sato Miwako turned her head and looked at her partner's side face, and said uncertainly: "If, I mean if.
"What if the secret that Nobu Miyazawa discovered a month ago was not that Toshihiko Takasugi wanted to poison Sayuri on the wedding day, but that someone was gathering people to take drugs and drink alcohol?"
The more she talked, the smoother her thoughts became. Miwako Sato picked up a black marker and drew seven lines under the words "Nobu Miyazawa" on the whiteboard, connecting them to the seven victims of the serial murder: "According to the autopsy results, seven of them were
Everyone is a drug addict and fully qualified to kill.
"So when they found out that Nobu Miyazawa had discovered the secret, these seven people joined forces to create an accident and killed Nobu Miyazawa in order not to expose this fact. This was the first fatal incident.
"Later, a person who believed that Miyazawa Nobu's car accident was not an accident found out the truth. So he killed the seven murderers one by one and buried them in the last batch of Miyazawa Nobu's purchased before his death.
In the items, use this to comfort his spirit in heaven and complete his revenge?"
The light in her eyes became brighter as her thoughts expanded. Miwako Sato, who felt as if she had touched that layer of truth, turned to look at her partner, with a rare hint of expectation in her tone: "Do you think this is possible?
?”
"...If you say that, I was so focused on the crime warning letter that I didn't notice it." Katsuki Uehara's expression changed, and he leaned against the conference table and fell into deep thought.
After Sayuri Matsumoto was kidnapped, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the study of the notice letter and had no time or energy to consider this.
"If you follow this idea..."
Biting his dry and flaky lips, Uehara Katsumi subconsciously turned the marker in his hand: "First of all, Miyazawa Nobu was very busy for a period of time before his death. He traveled back and forth between home and work every day, or...
I simply lived in the company directly.
"In other words, the place where this secret was discovered was either a home or a company. Considering that he only has his wife at home, it should be the company."
Uehara Katsuki removed the cap of his pen, and dark handwriting danced on the whiteboard in front of him - "Takasugi".
"The fifth deceased was a worker from Takasugi Construction."
Miwako Sato became more and more sure to draw a line in the order of the serial murderers, connecting it with the company name that Katsuki Uehara had just written, and raised her eyes to look at him: "Nobu Miyazawa may have discovered something abnormal about him.
, and thus saw the scene of them gathering together to take drugs, which led to the disaster of death."
"So, one day a month ago, they got together and planned a perfect accident to send Miyazawa Nobun back to the west." Following Miwako Sato's words, Katsuki Uehara's speaking speed also started the moment after he finished writing.
accelerate.
"It's just that what they didn't expect was that although the police had been deceived by them and wanted to settle the matter as an accident, there was one person who didn't believe it was an accident and never gave up the investigation."
Miwako Sato, who took over the man's words, drew a question mark on the blackboard to represent the prisoner, and extended seven lines above the question mark, connecting them to [Serial Murderer]: "In the end, he found out the truth and began to take revenge.
, and left an [NTXT] and a corpse’s deeds every day to mock the police, who in his eyes were synonymous with incompetence.”
"But what the prisoner never expected was that his revenge plan would soon be discovered by a policeman named Shiratori Rensaburo.
"So he used the identity of the seventh person killed by himself in the serial murder case to plant a bomb in a restaurant and made a phone call to lure Shiratori Rensaburo to the restaurant."
Following Miwako Sato's actions, Katsumi Uehara also wrote the name of Shiratori Rensaburo and the restaurant on the whiteboard, and drew two lines under the two, connecting them to the one drawn by the woman representing the prisoner.
On the question mark.
"The prisoner didn't know how much information the police had about him, so he decided to kidnap Sayuri Matsumoto to attract attention, and left a notice letter to divert the police's attention, with the intention of shaping himself into——"
Miwako Sato, who was getting more and more excited as she talked, suddenly got stuck and frowned for a moment: "No, if that's the case, why did he buy a bomb? All the people he wanted to kill have been killed, so there is no reason to buy any more bombs."
"But what if everyone is not killed?"
As if thinking of something, Katsuki Uehara directly picked up a pen and wrote the words "Mikawa Central Hospital" on the white board: "If there were not only seven people at the drug party that Miyazawa Shin encountered, but eight people, What about nine people or more?”
Hearing this, Miwako Sato's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's why there are so many bombs in Miwa Central Hospital. Because the prisoner only found the first seven people, and he only knew that the rest were people from Mihua Central Hospital, but he didn't Know exactly who it is!”
"In other words, he only knew which departments of Mihua Central Hospital those people worked in, so from the very beginning he decided to use bombs to blow them all up at once."
Katsuki Uehara, who wrote the Arabic numeral 8 under the words "Miwa Central Hospital", turned and looked at Miwako Sato: "This is why the murderer in the restaurant only used one bomb, but the murderer in the hospital used a full 8 bombs." The reason for the bomb was because the people he wanted to kill were scattered among these eight departments."
"He also wanted to take revenge on the police, so after blowing up the White Bird, he began to use notice letters to inform the location of the bomb, and Sayuri Matsumoto was just thrown out by her to distract the police's attention and energy.
"He wanted to see the police helpless, wanted to see the policeman who was trying to save people be fooled by him without realizing it, and even wanted to see the hospital exploded after the police tried hard, or that Sayuri Matsumoto still couldn't be saved. It’s useless work to come back.
"It's just that what he didn't expect was that you saw through the double meaning he hid in the notice letter, causing both of his purposes to fail."
With their eyes facing each other, Sato Miwako's pen fell on the blank space below the question mark, and Uehara Katsumi's pen also fell on the blank space below the words "Mihua Central Hospital"——
Neither of them looked at what the other person wrote, their eyes were always fixed on each other's faces, but their hands wrote a name at the same time, the same name.
Yuka Miyazawa.
"It seems that we are really the best partners." Uehara Katsumi tilted his head and raised his eyebrows.
Miwako Sato looked at her with a smile on her lips and said noncommittally: "But we don't have evidence yet, this is just speculation."
