After leaving the doctor's house, Qin Zhibo dialed Miwako Sato's phone number.
After the case of Tomonori Kinoshita, the two parties exchanged phone numbers.
Sato, who was working on the other side, was a little surprised when he saw the call from Qin Zhibo.
Although the two of them have each other's phone numbers, when it comes to ordinary cases, Qin Zhibo always calls Mu Mu directly.
Moreover, we just met at the search meeting in the morning. Could anything happen suddenly now?
She picked up the phone and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Qin, what can I do?"
"Is there anyone else with you now?" Qin Zhibo asked.
Sato heard Qin Zhibo's serious tone and guessed that he might be saying something that was not convenient for others to hear.
She glanced at Takagi Wataru who was sorting out case materials not far away, then turned around and walked to a slightly further corner.
"There's no one around now. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Seeing that Sato understood quickly, Qin Zhibo was quite satisfied.
Among the grassroots police officers that she often comes into contact with in the Metropolitan Police Department, Sato Miwako is considered to be the shrewd one.
"I have something to discuss with you regarding the case at today's search meeting."
"Can we meet downstairs at my office at 9:00 tonight, okay?"
Sato hesitated for a moment and answered in a deep voice.
"Can."
"See you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Miwako Sato fell into deep thought.
Regarding that serial murder case, do you want to discuss it with me alone?
Has he already found clues to this case?
But why didn't you say it at the search meeting just now?
Although she was a little confused about Qin Zhibo's actions, she decided to go to the appointment in order to solve the case.
…
At 9:00 that night, Miwako Sato arrived at the appointment on time.
The red RX-7 was parked downstairs of the Zhibo Detective Agency, parked next to the also red Mustang convertible, which looked quite harmonious.
Miwako Sato looked up at the three-story office building and saw that although the blinds had been drawn on the windows on the second floor, there was still light inside, so she went directly to the second floor and knocked on the door.
Dude, Dude.
After a few seconds, the door opened.
"Officer Sato, hello."
"Welcome to my detective agency."
Qin Zhibo took the initiative to extend his right hand as he spoke.
Sato was startled by this sudden sense of formality, and could only stretch out his right hand.
"Hello……"
The two held hands together, and Qin Zhibo immediately began to investigate.
【Survey√】
Name: Miwako Sato
Gender:Female
Age:28
…
After confirming that the basic information was correct, Qin Zhibo let the person in.
"Please take a seat."
"Let me get you a glass of water."
Qin Zhibo walked to the water dispenser, took a cup of the most ordinary plain water in a disposable paper cup, and delivered it to Sato.
"Thanks."
Sato took the water glass and immediately showed a serious expression.
"Mr. Qin, if you have anything to say, just tell me..."
"Did you find any clues about that serial murder case?"
Qin Zhibo sat on the sofa opposite. He did not talk about the case immediately, but asked Sato.
"Officer Sato, do you remember what I told you before that there might be a mole in the Metropolitan Police Department?"
Hearing this topic, Sato's eyes changed slightly and became more solemn.
"Remember, last time you said there was a mole, it was because someone in the Metropolitan Police Department might have leaked the itinerary of Kinoshita Tomonori being escorted to Gunma County, right?"
"Then I did some research following what you said, but although not many people know directly about the escort plan, the escort arrangements involving major prisoners will be reported to the above and stored in the database."
"So as long as they are willing to investigate, in theory, most police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department can find out on their own."
Although Qin Zhibo just put forward an "imagination" at the time, Sato did conduct serious investigation afterwards.
However, the Metropolitan Police Department is the largest organization among the Japanese police, and its personnel composition is quite complex, including grassroots police, criminal police, public security police, etc.
With Sato's level, if you want to investigate personally, you can only go so far.
"Well... you've done a good job."
Qin Zhibo groaned, then changed the subject, "What I want to say is that the mole might also be eyeing this case."
"This case...is it a serial murder case?" Sato confirmed.
Qin Zhibo nodded slightly, "At present, this mole should always be aware of the progress of the police investigation, so I cannot express my reasoning at the daytime search meeting..."
"But according to my speculation, there may be a key turning point in this case soon."
"Within these two days, someone who claims to be an insider of the case may contact the police. If this happens, I would like to ask Officer Sato to inform me as soon as possible."
Upon hearing Qin Zhibo's request, Sato's expression froze and he was thinking in his mind.
Qin Zhibo didn't say anything during the day, and he didn't even refute Mouri Kogoro's reasoning. Sato actually felt a little strange.
At that time, she didn't really agree with Mouri Kogoro's reasoning that the victim and the murderer were "Mayu". This was really child's play.
However, due to Mouri Kogoro's sometimes "very wise and foolish" behavior, she couldn't say anything.
However, in every case Qin Zhibo participated in, there was no such outrageous start and ups and downs in the later stages of becoming a god, and he could make correct reasoning at all times.
This time, Qin Zhibo rarely chose to remain silent.
It turned out to be an undercover agent at the Embankment Police Department...
"Mr. Qin, you mean during the search meeting during the day, did the mole also get involved?"
"Almost."
"I want to know what your basis is for saying that?"
"Sorry, I can't tell you based on this..."
Facing Sato, whose eyes changed slightly, Qin Zhibo replied with an upright expression: "The issues involved are very complicated, but I believe you will know about it in the near future."
"The mole should be at the police search meeting, and he disguised himself as someone you are familiar with."
"This means that someone you are familiar with should have been kidnapped. If you want to rescue this person, you must do what I say..."
Originally, Sato wanted to refuse when he heard Qin Zhibo's initial answer.
Although she also wanted to trust Qin Zhibo, she could not doubt her colleagues without evidence.
But when she heard that someone around her might have been kidnapped, she still felt compassion.
If a colleague dies on the job because of his lack of cooperation, he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
Moreover, she also wanted to know the truth of the whole matter in her heart, and only by following the path provided by Qin Zhibo could she possibly know the truth.
"Okay...I promise you."
"But regarding this case, you also have to tell me what you have already deduced so far."
"This small request should satisfy me, right?"
The corners of Sato's mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were filled with confidence.
If the partner he chooses to cooperate is Takagi Wataru, Qin Zhibo really has to consider whether that big mouth will leak the news.
But Sato, after all, Sato is still much more reliable than Takagi Wataru.
"Can."
"But you have to make sure not to tell anyone these reasonings."
"Including Officer Takagi..."
…
Metropolitan Police Department, a high-level office.
A figure sat at the desk, facing the special population search system within the Metropolitan Police Department, and entered the name "Edogawa Conan".
When the name is entered, the screen stays in the interface waiting for a response for a moment, and then a large page pops up.
Edogawa Conan, male, 7 years old.
The school is Teitan Elementary School, the address is 2-22, Yoneka-cho, and the temporary residence is 5-39, Yoneka-cho.
Father: Edogawa Ryosaku
Mother: Fumiyo Edogawa
…
A series of basic information about Edogawa Conan is reflected in the dark pupils.
In addition to this basic information that everyone has, below are various case names, all involving the name "Edogawa Conan".
There are hundreds of lines in this part alone.
The figure sitting in front of the computer had his pupils widened and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.
He scrolled down and continued searching for entry and exit records.
Edogawa Conan - No entry or exit records.
Immediately afterwards, he deleted "Edogawa Conan" in the search box and changed it to "Kudo Shinichi".
There are many people named "Kudo Shinichi" all over the country, but it is not difficult to find that person.
Kudo Shinichi, male, 17 years old.
The school is Teitan High School, and its address is 2-1, Yoneka-cho.
Father: Kudo Yusaku
Mother: Kudo Yukiko
…
There are about a hundred case entries under this name.
After investigating the entry and exit records, a series of related entry and exit records also popped up.
I have been traveling abroad since I was 7 years old, with the most trips to Hawaii in the United States.
The last time I went abroad was to London, England some time ago.
And the entry record also shows that "Kudo Shinichi" has returned to Japan.
Seeing this line of information, the corners of Ireland's mouth raised, revealing a ferocious smile.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Lord Rum, I have investigated a situation that may interest you..."
"explain."
On the other end of the phone was the voice of a voice changer, a deep and rough voice that was indistinguishable.
"It's the high school detective Kudo Shinichi who was killed by Gin with that drug before. He is probably still alive now."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, "Go on..."
"I searched the entry and exit information of 'Shinichi Kudo' through the Metropolitan Police Department's internal population search system, and found that he had visited London not long ago."
"There are also people close to this 'Kudo Shinichi' who also said they had seen him in London."
"So I think it was Gin's mistake that led to the fact that Kudo Shinichi is still alive..."
After another two seconds of silence, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly spoke.
"Are you the only one who knows about this?"
"Yes."
"Well, don't tell anyone else about this, including 'that adult'."
Upon hearing this request, Ireland's expression was startled.
The reason why he told the second-in-command Rum was because he wanted Rum to react upward and completely discredit Gin in the heart of "that adult".
Although Gin is dead now, Ireland is very willing to do even this trivial revenge.
This was also in revenge for Gin killing Pisco, who was like his father, at the Abedo Hotel.
But unexpectedly, Rum actually asked him to hide the matter.
"Then Kudo Shinichi..."
"You don't have to worry about it."
Rum's voice was suddenly short, and even through the voice changer, the severity could be heard.
Ireland quickly shut up, not daring to speak any more.
"Continue to carry out your mission and stay out of this matter."
"Yes, Lord Rum."
After hanging up the phone, Ireland frowned slightly.
Revenge against Gin has always been his long-cherished wish.
But from what Rum said, it seemed like he wanted to suppress the matter.
Is Gin a rum person?
impossible……
Ireland shook his head lightly. Everyone in the organization knew that Gin was the loyal hawk of "that Lord" and one of the few organizational cadres who could directly contact "that Lord".
Therefore, only by completely revealing this matter to the organization boss can Gin's reputation be completely ruined.
Not only that, as long as he finds out the whereabouts of Kudo Shinichi and helps the organization deal with this person, his level will also be promoted.
There is no more satisfying revenge than taking advantage of your enemy's mistakes as a stepping stone for yourself.
In this case, of course I can't listen to Rum.
Be sure to keep investigating!
…
One day later, the police held another search meeting.
"Eh? I don't want to play mahjong."
"Yes."
Shiratori held the investigation report in his hand, "According to the results of the interview, the six victims so far do not usually play mahjong..."
Hearing this result, Mouri Kogoro was visibly disappointed.
Most of the police officers present were mentally prepared for this situation and did not show much emotion at this moment.
Sato glanced at the colleagues gathered in a circle, a trace of scrutiny flashing in his eyes.
Compared to yesterday, today's search meeting had significantly fewer participants, with only 12 people, including police from the Metropolitan Police Department and police representatives from other places.
As for the special adviser, only Kogoro Mori attended.
Because Qin Zhibo said the day before yesterday that even if he attended the meeting, he would not be able to provide any reasoning. In order not to arouse suspicion, it would be better not to attend.
The inner ghost should also be among them...
After everyone discussed for a while, Yamato Gansuke, the police representative from Nagano Prefecture, walked to the side on a crutch and answered a phone call, then came back and said.
"There's good news..."
"The male suspect in the serial murder case may appear in Mihua City."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Mu screamed and stood up.
Yamato Gansuke took out a photo from his arms and pushed it to the table.
"His name is Fukase Minoru. He is 27 years old. Jinno Shuhei, who was killed in Usui Ridge, was stabbed and seriously injured by him a year ago. This person is currently wanted."
"I sent my subordinates to monitor his girlfriend before. I just learned that his girlfriend came to Tokyo from Nagano and got off at Rice Flower Station..."
"This woman's name is Risa Yoshii. She is 21 years old and is a bartender at a small bar in Nagano."
"I suspect that Risa Yoshii's purpose in coming to Tokyo this time is to meet Minoru Fukase."
Yamato Gansuke also displayed photos of women.
Manager Matsumoto took the photo, looked at it, raised his head and asked, "Then what was the motive of this man named Fukase to stab Jinno?"
"It is said that while waiting in line at the Tropical Paradise, Jinno asked him to put out his cigarette and he felt resentful..."
Hearing this, Takagi, who was standing at the very back, his eyes lit up and an idea flashed in his mind.
