After hearing Qin Zhibo's answer, everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to respond for a while.
Is this a disguised admission that Conan's reasoning ability is similar to that of a famous detective?
Conan, who was sitting on the bench in the corridor, could not help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard Qin Zhibo's comments coming from his glasses.
No, I'm still far away...
"Ahem, can we start the meeting?"
At this moment, Mumu walked into the conference room and interrupted everyone's chat.
Behind him were Administrator Matsumoto and the Shiratori Police Department.
Everyone immediately returned to their seats. Takagi Wataru was so frightened that he scratched his head and apologized.
Only Yamamura Cao from Gunma Prefecture stopped Mouri Kogoro and asked who the vicious-looking man standing behind Megure was.
"Idiot, he is the management officer, Inspector Matsumoto Kiyonaga."
"Eh? Can you become an administrator if you look like that?" Yamamura Soo's eyes were filled with shock.
Maura Kogoro quickly warned him, "If you say these words again, you may get beaten!"
After saying that, Mouri Kogoro turned around and followed Qin Zhibo to the seat on the left side of the whiteboard in front.
Below the conference room, most of the police officers from the Metropolitan Police Headquarters in charge of this case, as well as the police officers from other places who came to assist just now, were present.
Qin Zhibo glanced at the police below and found that in the corner of the last row of the conference room, Toru Amuro's direct subordinate, Yuya Kazami, was sitting.
Although Kazami Yuya is a public security policeman, it is normal for him to appear here. After all, this case involved the murder of a parliamentary secretary, and it can be judged to be a major case that threatens national security.
In front of the conference room, two special advisers, Qin Zhibo and Mori Kogoro, sat on one side, and on the other side sat Manager Matsumoto, Megure and Shiratori.
First, Shiratori made a simple opening statement, welcoming colleagues from all over the country to come and assist in handling the case on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Immediately afterwards, Shiratiao sorted out the entire case.
Qin Zhibo listened to Shiratiao's explanation while browsing the case information in front of him.
On the information page of the third victim, I saw the name "Okakura Masaaki" and his occupation was a parliamentary secretary.
It seems that the serial murder case that Reina Mizuno mentioned is this case.
With the internal information provided by the police, Qin Zhibo finally saw the details of the entire case.
Okakura Masaaki was knocked unconscious with an electric shock baton in an underground parking lot near his home, kidnapped into the Recreation Forest in Oizumi, Nerima Ward, Tokyo, and stabbed in the abdomen with a knife to kill him.
At the scene where the body was dumped, the police found a mahjong tile, so the case was investigated in series with other cases.
The face of this mahjong tile is "Seven Tubes".
However, the dot in the lower right corner of this "seven tube" mahjong tile is painted red, and there is a black vertical line on the back of the mahjong tile with the capital letter "A" written on it.
Obviously, this should be the code left by the murderer.
Among them, except for the mahjong tiles of the first deceased, which was "one tube", the mahjong tiles of the others were all "seven tubes".
"Since mahjong tiles with similar treatment were found around these bodies, and the police have not released clues about the mahjong tiles to the public, the possibility of being a copycat has been ruled out."
"Except for the sixth case that just happened recently, what the previous five cases have in common is that all the deceased were stabbed to death with large knives and saws, and the suspects first stunned them with electric shock batons, kidnapped them to the place where the bodies were found, and then killed them.
Dump the body."
"However, a question arises above this, that is, why did the suspect take the kidnapped victim to another place to commit the crime?"
"And mahjong tiles partially painted in red, with English letters and vertical black lines on the back were found next to the bodies of the six victims..."
"According to research, this is obviously a message left by the suspect."
"In addition, one personal item was taken away from each of the six victims..."
At this time, Sato and Takagi respectively echoed and told all the victims' lost relics.
Necklaces, pockets, amulets, motorcycle key rings, cosmetic mirrors, character dolls.
Since the items had been lost and the police had no photos, they could only dictate this part of the information.
However, Qin Zhibo took a look at Okakura Masaaki's corresponding lost object and found it was an amulet.
According to Rena Minami's information, the organization's undercover list storage card carried by Okakura Masaaki was also lost along with the case.
This shows that the memory card was contained in the amulet and was taken away by the unsuspecting suspect.
This is also the reason why the organization dispatched to Ireland.
If you want to find the memory card as quickly as possible, obviously the power of the police is an important channel that cannot be ignored.
Maybe at this very moment, Ireland is eavesdropping on this search meeting somewhere.
The reason why it was eavesdropping was because if someone wanted to infiltrate the meeting and search it, they should directly send the disguise master Belmod.
Maybe the organization has also considered sending people directly to sneak into the place with the most police, which is still a little risky...
While Qin Zhibo was thinking about matters related to Ireland, the police officers present also began to speak freely and express their opinions.
Among them, Shiratori mentioned Ryuzaki, the sixth victim who was killed the day before yesterday. Before he died, he mentioned "Tanabata, Kyo". This may be a pre-death message.
Hengmou Jugo held the report in one hand and put the other hand on the back of the chair, speculating: "The brake fluid in Ryuzaki's car may have been leaked at the Dajianshan service station. He was probably
Have you seen the suspect there?"
As soon as Henggou Shigego finished speaking, Mouri Kogoro, who was sitting next to Qin Zhibo, suddenly stood up and walked to the front of the conference hall with a confident look on his face.
"Let me ask, are you thinking about things too complicated?"
"Since it is a mahjong tile, doesn't it mean mahjong?"
"Then it is obvious that the so-called motive for the murder was actually a dispute caused by mahjong!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the conference room.
Especially Henggou Zengo, who is a fan of Mouri Kogoro, nodded in sudden enlightenment.
When Mouri Kogoro saw that his reasoning received a good response, the expression on his face became more confident, and he started to explain with his right hand on his waist.
"The reason why the suspect left one and seven tubes behind actually means that there were a total of 8 people participating in the card game."
"There are two dots among the seven tubes that are not painted red because one of them represents the suspect himself and the other represents the final victim."
When Mu Mu, who was sitting on the other side, heard this, his face suddenly lost its composure and he asked, "If you say that, will he continue to commit crimes?"
"Yes, it should be possible." Mouri Kogoro nodded confidently.
At this time Shiratori asked: "But if there are 8 people in the game, wouldn't it be better to use eight tubes to represent it?"
Faced with doubts, Mouri Kogoro still looked confident, holding his shoulders and explaining: "Actually, the reason why I use one tube and seven tubes is because there is another meaning..."
"That's right! The suspect originally wanted to use these two cards, namely one tube and seven tubes, to cheat!"
"This is a great card that can turn the situation around in one go!"
"oh--!"
Mouri Kogoro's reasoning once again aroused repercussions.
Especially Henggou Sengo and Yamamura Cao, they immediately followed this line of thinking and thought that the murderer was angry because he didn't cheat on these two cards.
“Not bad at all!”
"According to my speculation, the other people may be very unbranded, so the suspect couldn't bear it..."
"This should be the suspect's motive for the murder."
Qin Zhibo, who was sitting on a chair silently watching Mouri Kogoro's performance, couldn't help but smile.
As expected of Kogoro Mouri, he could talk nonsense seriously in such a situation.
The ability of such a big heart is not possessed by ordinary people.
Qin Zhibo looked at the mahjong information card produced by the police, and an investigation point had already appeared on it.
But even without looking at the contents of the investigation, he knew that this case had nothing to do with the recreational activity of mahjong.
Although sometimes reasoning pursues simplicity, Mouri Kogoro is also too simple.
But then again, if Ireland is monitoring this meeting, Kogoro Mori's misdirection may have a miraculous effect.
Because as long as Ireland is led astray by Kogoro Mori, he can find the suspect first and get the memory card.
It's just that there are so many police here, so there must be some normal people...
Sure enough, as soon as Mouri Kogoro finished speaking, Ogino Ayami, a female police officer from Saitama Prefecture, raised her hand to ask a question.
"Excuse me, how should we explain the English letters behind the mahjong tiles?"
Yamato Gansuke also asked without mercy: "And why did the murderer specifically move the victim to another place to kill?"
Takagi also rarely had an opinion. He raised his hand and asked: "Also, how should we explain Ryuzaki's message before his death?"
This series of questions stunned Mouri Kogoro on the spot, and he couldn't get off the stage for a while.
But two seconds later, Mouri Kogoro used his big heart talent, tilted his head to the side, and muttered softly.
"About, about these issues..."
"I'll think about it later..."
Upon hearing this, all the police officers in the conference room suddenly felt an aura of unreliability coming towards their faces.
But even so, other police officers couldn't offer any constructive suggestions.
The meeting reached a deadlock for a while.
Seeing this, Megure turned to Manager Matsumoto and asked, "Manager, look..."
Manager Matsumoto hugged his shoulders, looked around the venue, and landed on Qin Zhibo opposite.
"Mr. Qin, what is your opinion on this case?"
Qin Zhibo, who was suddenly called, was startled and looked up at Manager Matsumoto opposite.
Normally, he would definitely express his thoughts and alert the police.
But at this moment, in order to catch the suspect and find the memory card before the police, I could only shake my head.
"Sorry, I don't have a clue at the moment..."
Seeing this, Manager Matsumoto could only stand up and announce to everyone.
"For the suspect, do these six crime scenes represent some special meaning? If so, this will most likely lead us to find the suspect..."
"Also, these six victims must be related to the suspect to some extent. Finding the common points between these six people will be a shortcut to identifying the suspect."
"As Brother Maori said, this case may indeed be related to mahjong. In addition, the English letters and black vertical lines behind the mahjong tiles, the meaning of 'Qixi Jing', I hope everyone can seriously think about it..."
"Everyone here, please listen carefully. The suspect is very likely to commit another crime. This matter is related to the prestige of the police. We must nip it in the bud!"
"At this moment, please give up the unnecessary sense of jurisdiction and selfishness of competing for credit, share the intelligence in your hands, and arrest this serial murderer as soon as possible!"
Administrator Matsumoto, like a strict teacher assigning homework to students, gave a concise summary of the case.
In addition, the last passionate speech made all the police officers in the audience sit upright and said "Hi" in unison.
…
As the search meeting ended, everyone sorted out the information and walked out of the meeting room.
Mao Lilan, who was reading, closed the book and just stood up from the bench when she saw Manager Matsumoto and Megure walking out.
"Officer Matsumoto!"
Mao Lilan stopped Manager Matsumoto, bowed slightly and asked: "Long time no see, how are you doing, Teacher Sayuri?"
Manager Matsumoto was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, "Oh, you are from Maori..."
"My daughter is still the same..."
"Then Maori, I'm looking forward to your performance this time."
Matsumoto changed the subject and turned to Mouri Kogoro behind him.
"Yes!" Mouri Kogoro immediately saluted solemnly, "I, Moori Kogoro, will do my best to live up to your expectations wholeheartedly!"
The short Conan also grinned when he heard this.
Haha, if you try your best, wouldn't it mean that you are getting further and further away from the truth?
Through the bug on Qin Zhibo's body, Conan also heard what Mori Kogoro had just said at the meeting.
That kind of unconstrained nonsense is probably the only one he can do.
But what Conan didn't expect was that Qin Zhibo didn't even elaborate on a single point this time and had zero effect.
In fact, even I have some thoughts about this case, but due to my identity, I can't speak out yet.
Conan crossed his arms and continued to look at the familiar faces, discovering Chiba and Nobu inside.
"Officer Chiba, have you been reinstated?"
Chiba looked down at Conan, smiled and nodded, "Yes, my body has almost recovered, so I'm back to work."
"Hey, do you feel like you've gained a lot of weight?"
Conan's blunt statement made Chiba look down at his fattened belly again and smile awkwardly.
"Ha, maybe the food in the hospital is better..."
In fact, these were all the little things Miike Naoko added to him, which allowed him to regain a lot of the weight he finally lost during his amnesia.
At this time, Mouri Kogoro next to him looked at Shiratori and asked: "Speaking of getting fat, Officer Shiratori, are you also a little fat?"
Shiratori looked stunned, "You, you really love to joke, Mr. Mori, but I have to go to the gym twice a week~"
At the same time, the two Henggou brothers on the other side were buying drinks in front of the vending machine, and they also complained to each other about changing the flavor of their favorite drinks.
My brother, Henggou Shenwu, switched to sugar-free coffee because the doctor said his blood sugar had been high recently.
His younger brother, Henggou Shigego, switched to sugary coffee because he had been working on a case overnight recently and needed to supplement his sugar intake.
Conan saw the changes in each of his acquaintances, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that not everyone is the same.
Just like himself, he has also changed from the original materialism to another level of "materialism".
At this moment, a hand came from behind and placed on his shoulder.
Conan's back shrank and he turned around to see that it was Qin Zhibo.
