Late at night, the Mumu Police Department finished their mission and walked home exhausted both physically and mentally.
The murder case in the Magic Pavilion has not been solved so far. There are too many people there. Not to mention the audience, the staff and magicians alone are enough for them to investigate for a long time.
When I was almost home, I heard the sound of a motorcycle coming from the alley.
He looked up and saw that the rider was wearing black clothes. It was so dark in the night that his face and figure could not be seen at all.
The police department was startled, and subconsciously wanted to step forward for questioning, but also felt that this was disturbing ordinary citizens - after all, besides wearing dark clothes, they also did other illegal actions, and parking was not prohibited here.
But soon, Mumu no longer had to worry.
——The man in black took out a crossbow from nowhere, raised it, and pulled the trigger towards Mu Mu.
On a night with poor lighting, at such a close distance, for an ordinary police officer like the Mumu Police Department who has no other skills except for his life, dodging a crossbow is as difficult as Mao Lilan dodging a rifle.
The police officer Mumu could only follow his instinct and raised his hand to stop him. The next second, there was a loud bang - a flowerpot fell between him and the man in black, hitting the crossbow arrow and falling to the ground.
The two subconsciously raised their heads, and through the light from the house, they could see a cat passing by on the balcony, quickly blending into the dark night.
...it appears to have been just a lucky accident.
The police department breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I was lucky. If the flowerpot hadn't smashed the sword just now, or the flowerpot had just fallen on his head when the crossbow arrow hit him...
Just thinking about that scene made the police department break into a cold sweat.
He quickly came to his senses, looked at the attacker on the opposite side again, and took out his gun.
The man in black coaxed him to lower the accelerator and fled out like an arrow.
The Mumu Police Department chased to the place where the man in black had stayed and saw a strange-shaped Western sword on the ground.
After confirming that the man in black had run away without a trace, Police Department Mu Mu put on his gloves and carefully picked up the sword.
It's very light to start with and doesn't look like metal at all.
Mumu walked under the street lamp and took a closer look, and found that it was indeed not metal - it was actually made of cardboard. The hilt was painted bronze, and the sword body was silver with skewed blood grooves engraved on it.
The Mumu Police Department was a little confused for a moment. Could this be a toy made by some child, but the man in black just happened to park next to it?
But as a detective who often sees strange criminals, the Mumu Police Department was cautious not to throw it away.
He put away the paper sword and returned to the place where the flowerpot fell.
The color of that flowerpot looked very familiar, as if... it belonged to his own family.
Take another look at the flowers scattered in the soil, they look even more familiar.
Mumu Police Department found the crossbow arrow that was pressed under the flower pot, and gathered the flowers together. It was a pot that his wife loved very much. He took it back and maybe he could save it.
After putting away the things and picking up the broken porcelain pieces and dirt on the ground, the Mumu Police Department returned to the police station and prepared to investigate the matter.
I don’t know whether the men in black attacked the police with specific targets or indiscriminately.
But no matter which one, we must pay attention to it.
…
After pushing down a flowerpot, Shiraishi quietly slipped away.
He was not worried that Sawaki Taira would attack again. The sommelier’s target was not the police in the first place.
If someone is accidentally killed and the police intensify their investigation, Sawaki's subsequent actions will become difficult.
The number 13 in Mumu Thirteen corresponds to the King in poker cards.
The paper sword that Sawaki threw down was the thing held by the King of Poker King. This was also a hint that he took pains to leave to the police, for fear that others would not notice that this was a murder in reverse order of Poker cards.
After 13, there is 12, Q.
Shiraishi remembers that this refers to Concubine Yingli - the queen on the playing card is painted, and she can barely get close to the "concubine".
Fei Yingli's office is not strictly guarded, and it is not difficult to break into her office.
However, Sawaki Kohei and Fei Yingri were old acquaintances. If they appeared directly, he was worried that Fei Yingri, who was very observant, would recognize them, so he adopted the method of poisoning the mailbox.
A few days ago, Sawaki Fair met Kogoro Mori and his daughter at a high-end restaurant.
During the chat, he heard about the brand of chocolate that Feiyingli liked to eat, and learned that Mouri Kogoro had recently made Feiyingli angry.
As an old friend of the two of them, Kohei Sawaki knew that although the couple appeared to be incompatible, they were actually very good at spoiling each other.
If he pretends to be Kogoro Mouri and throws poisoned chocolate into Fei Erli's mailbox, Fei Li will probably regard it as an apology gift from Kogoro Moori and eat it without checking it.
So when he went out to follow the Megure Police Department today, Sawaki took the chocolate with him.
He planned to wait until the attack was over and throw the chocolate into Fei Yingli's mailbox in the dead of night. The area around Fei Yingli's office was very busy, and if he went too early, he might be witnessed.
After Shiraishi read his work plan, he also made a timetable for himself in his mind.
He worked overtime with his police colleagues at the Megure Police Department. When Sawaki could only track him but could not take action against him, he first went to Lawyer Fei's office.
As a famous lawyer, Fei Yingli's work address is not difficult to check.
There is a camera in front of the mailbox in this building, but it is very old.
Shiraishi first switched to the form of a cat, climbed up and twisted the camera, and then pried open Fei Yingli's mailbox - Toru Amuro, a master of lock picking skills, this working emperor is really versatile.
Shiraishi took everything from Fei Yingli's mailbox and threw it at the door of her office.
Then he went back to the first floor, took out a bottle of spray, and sprayed some into Fei Yingli's mailbox.
This is an improved insect attractant by Butterfly Ninja, which will make most insects unable to refuse. As soon as Shiraishi finished spraying, he saw several spiders crawling out of the corner, and some other strange-shaped insects were also approaching quickly.
The effect is also great...
Shiraishi threw a little bit of repellent into a nearby mailbox and fled the scene quickly.
The effect of insect attractants lasts for almost 24 hours.
The gap in the mailbox is relatively narrow, so if the person sending the letter does not pay attention, he will ignore the bugs inside.
But those who take the letter will definitely see it.
——When I came to work the next day, no matter how much I liked Mouri Kogoro, I opened the mailbox and saw the chocolate surrounded by insects. Even if it was separated by the packaging, I couldn't possibly eat it.
I just hope that Feiyingli will not go to Mouri Kogoro to reason with her anger.
Otherwise, according to Mouri Kogoro's characteristic of cheating when he meets an acquaintance, if he solves the case directly before the bomb ordered by Sawaki Fair arrives, Shiraishi's plan to send people to prison for more than a year will fail.
Shiraishi sprayed insect repellent into the mailbox before the Megure police station was attacked.
After destroying other people's mailboxes, and a few hours later, he threw a flower pot to save the police officer. Shiraishi returned home with peace of mind.
