"The characteristics of that guy are just like Ayumi said. He has long hair, a hat, and a gray coat. He should be near your area."
Officer Megure said in a serious tone: "The children are temporarily under the care of Officer Sato. You and Officer Takagi will go to the scene immediately to provide support."
"yes!"
After Officer Shiratori hung up the phone, he turned to Officer Takagi and said, "Let's go! Officer Takagi."
"OK."
After Officer Takagi and the others left, Suzuki Seimei suddenly asked: "Officer Sato, is it possible that the robber from eighteen years ago was someone your father knew?"
"Someone my father knew?"
When Officer Sato heard this, his face changed slightly and he asked with some confusion: "Qingming, why do you think my father knows the robber?"
"Didn't you just say that? The surveillance video that captured the robber only lasted less than ten seconds, and the police could not find any useful clues at all."
Suzuki Seimei analyzed seriously: "That's why I suspect that your father may have known the robber at the beginning, so he recognized the true identity of the robber from certain details.
Just like the previous robbery at Dongdu Bank, the hooded robber was good friends with the person in charge of the bank, so his wife recognized him immediately!"
"this……"
Officer Sato's expression changed slightly and he began to think deeply.
Although what Suzuki Seimei said was not based on any evidence, Officer Sato felt that his analysis made sense.
Officer Sato thought about it carefully and couldn't help frowning: "But among the people my father knows, there is no one named Chou Silang?"
"What if what your father shouted at that time was actually not Chou Si Lang, but something else? For example - surrender!"
"boom!!!"
Suzuki Seimei's words were like thunder, exploding in Officer Sato's mind.
In Japanese pronunciation, the words "chousilang" and "go surrender" are indeed very similar.
If Masayoshi Sato really meant "surrender" when he shouted, it means that he really knew the robber and was even good friends with the robber.
Otherwise, when the police arrest a murderer without knowing him, they will usually arrest him directly and bring him to justice instead of persuading him to surrender.
Officer Sato suddenly realized: "No wonder my father didn't mention the robber who escaped before he died. It turned out to be like this..."
When Officer Sato and his mother arrived at the scene of the car accident, Masayoshi Sato had not completely breathed his last. He said his final farewell to the mother and daughter before passing away.
Miwako Sato, who was still young at the time, did not notice anything was wrong and thought it was just that her father was too seriously injured and forgot to tell them the name of the robber.
But now being reminded by Suzuki Seimei, Sato Miwako suddenly understood that her father had not forgotten to tell them the name of the robber, but wanted to give the robber a chance to surrender.
Conan couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the robber finally betrayed your father's trust."
"Officer Sato, weren't the four people we met just now your father's good friends when he was young?"
Suzuki Seimei blinked his big dark eyes and continued to remind: "If the robber back then was really someone your father knew, then it is very likely that the word k a·n·o was given to him by your father
nickname.
Perhaps those four people have heard your father say this word before, and they may even know this person."
"let's go!"
A gleam flashed in Officer Sato's beautiful eyes, and he led Suzuki Haruaki and the others towards the tavern where Kano Saji and the others often went.
When Suzuki Seimei and others arrived at the tavern called "Nanqu", Kano Saji and others were drinking and chatting.
"Miwako, you are here too!"
When Saruwatari Hidero saw Officer Sato, he was slightly startled for a moment, and then greeted him with a smile: "If you don't have work today, why don't you sit with us for a while and chat."
"That's right! It's almost time for dinner, so let these kids come over and eat together!"
After Zhu Wu Manxiong finished speaking, he asked the waiter to add a few more hard dishes without giving Officer Sato a chance to refuse.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you."
It happened that Officer Sato also wanted to take the opportunity to make some excuses, so he did not refuse Wu Manxiong's kindness and took Suzuki Seimei and the others to sit down at the dining table.
Because the robber who killed Masayoshi Sato might be hiding among the four people in front of him, Miwako Sato did not directly ask about what happened back then. Instead, she chatted with the four about her father.
.
After drinking for three rounds, Officer Sato asked casually: "By the way, I remember when I was young, I heard my father mention a friend named Kano, but why have I never seen this person?
?”
"Hahaha……"
Hearing this, the divine bird Diezi couldn't help but laugh and said: "You have actually met this person before. Kano is the nickname your father gave to you."
(╬◣д◢)
When Officer Sato heard this, his face suddenly changed. He stared at Shikano Saji with angry eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "It turns out it's you! It turns out you were the one who killed my father!"
Facing Officer Sato's cannibalistic gaze, Kano Saji suddenly felt guilty. He subconsciously averted his eyes and said in a somewhat innocent tone: "Miwako, what are you talking about? Your father was raped by that bank back then.
Those killed by robbers have nothing to do with me!"
"We've reached this point, don't you dare to admit it?"
When Officer Sato saw Kano Saji's guilty look, he was sure that he was the murderer.
Even though three years have passed since the prosecution period, Kano Taoji still dare not admit the crimes he committed back then.
When she thought that her father would sacrifice himself for such a person, she felt that it was not worth it for Masayoshi Sato.
"My father left the word "kano" in the police manual. I never understood the meaning of this word. Only today did I realize that it was the nickname he gave you."
Officer Sato clenched his fists, stared at Kano Saji, and said word by word: "When my father was hit by a truck and seriously injured, what he shouted was not at all about Chou Sirou, but to surrender.
He didn't say your name until he took his last breath because he believed you would surrender, but you betrayed his trust.
Now that the prosecution period has passed three years, are you still going to hide this secret for the rest of your life?
You may be able to fool other people, but you can’t fool your own conscience!”
