With the emergence of new evidence, the murder suspicion of Ayukawa Saori has been cleared.
However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided. It is true that Ayukawa planned to kill Funaki, and it is also true that he accidentally killed Kanie half a year ago.
Amid the mixed looks of everyone, Ayukawa was taken away by the police.
Withdrawing his gaze, Qin Zhibo glanced at Conan who was being held by Minase Harumu, with a look of infatuation on his face, so he flicked Conan's hair.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
".I."
After thinking for a moment, Conan's eyes darkened, but he still did not express his opinion.
In fact, this case seemed to be a simple mistake for Conan, but it almost led to an innocent person being charged with a crime that was not hers in the first place.
If Qin Zhibo hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid the evidence and techniques he found would have been enough to convict him.
By the time.
After all, Conan is still young and somewhat thin-skinned, so he is quite concerned about this kind of thing.
Unlike Officer Megure, who has investigated many "accidental" incidents and recently all of them have been overturned, he is still as active as ever.
Although my hit rate is not high, my crime detection rate is high~
Watching Ayukawa enter the police car, Yokomori Jugo turned back to handle the work here.
According to the normal procedure, you need to ask Minase Yomu to take a confession first, and ask for personal identification information and the characteristics of the prisoner.
But Qin Zhibo broke the rules directly.
"Officer Henggou, wait a moment."
"Huh?" Shigego Yokomori, who had just taken out the police manual and prepared to record it, turned around and asked in confusion.
Qin Zhibo explained: "She is a confused person. Even if you ask her, you won't know anything, but I have some clues here."
"I found this in the kidnapper's hut."
As he spoke, Qin Zhibo took out the medicine bottle he took out from the wooden house in the forest from his pocket, which still contained some remaining white powder.
Seeing the white powdery object, Henggou Shigego looked shocked.
"Is this diacetylmorphine?"
Qin Zhibo shook his head, "It's hard to say, you can take it back for testing."
If it is poison, drug identification should be able to investigate it.
Henggou Shigego took the medicine and handed it to the forensics personnel who were still behind him. Qin Zhibo took out another piece of paper and handed it over. The words on it looked like English but were not English.
"This is written in Latin. Let me read it to you."
"The bleak light shines upon you, and the tragic memory obscures your words."
Henggou Shigego: "Can you still understand Latin?"
Qin Zhibo: "I just understand it a little bit."
At this moment, there was some change in the way Henggou Chongwu looked at Qin Zhibo.
In fact, there is a reason why Yokomori Jugo looks down on detectives, because from a certain moment, the detective industry sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
These detectives look glamorous, but in fact many of them are engaged in stalking and filming, commercial espionage, deception and abduction, which has caused a lot of trouble for the police.
But Qin Zhibo could even understand Latin, which was so niche that almost no one spoke it. Henggou Shigego realized that the man in front of him was no ordinary person.
Professional skills like languages cannot be learned without practicing for two and a half years.
Yokomori Shigego: This guy is the real deal
Conan is not surprised that Qin Zhibo mastered Latin. When Masami Hirota's teacher was killed half a month ago, Qin Zhibo was studying Latin.
It takes only half a month to learn a language to this extent, and the learning ability is really incredible.
"Well, I'll take this paper back and check if there are any fingerprints on it."
Henggou Zhongwu took away Exhibit 2, and Qin Zhibo provided another clue.
"Actually, I saw the license plate the man drove when he escaped. It was Shinagawa XX."
"Tokyo's car?!"
Henggou's face was shocked. This was considered a major clue. He quickly asked his subordinates to check the vehicle registration information in the vehicle administration system, and sent other subordinates to search for the cabin in the forest along the Jiugusujiao.
While waiting for the results, Yokomori still had to register for Minase Harumu.
The girl reluctantly put down Conan in her arms and accepted the police's questioning.
Henggou: "Name?"
Girl: "It's Minase Yomu~"
Henggou: "What's your age?"
Minase Yomu: "The age of the ten beautiful girls is kept secret! It's definitely up to you~"
Yokomori Shigego looked at the girl with a dark expression on his face.
Conan next to her was also a little helpless. She obviously wanted to tell her age, right?
It was Qin Zhibo who came to the rescue, "She should be seventeen years old."
"Is that so?" Yokomori Shigego glanced at Minase Harumu. Seeing that the girl was suppressing a smile but not objecting, he took it as acquiescence.
Anyway, the age information can be found in the police department's demographic system, so it's not important.
Henggou Zhongwu wrote down "17" and continued to ask: "Please provide your home address and family contact information."
Mentioning these, Minase Youmu's brainwaves seemed to be suddenly disconnected. He tapped his chin with his fingertips and raised his head in confusion, "Family?"
"The address is. Where is the address?"
Yokomori Jugo's face was once again covered with black lines. If it weren't for the fact that he was a female high school student and had just experienced a kidnapping, he wouldn't have been able to help shouting because of his temper.
At this time, Mao Lilan, who had been observing from the side, came over.
"Well, actually, Minase-san is wearing the summer uniform of our Teidan High School girls, right? Sonoko. Sonoko?"
Mao Lilan turned around and wanted to ask Sonoko to confirm, but found that Suzuki Sonoko was still sitting on the chair with a concave shape.
Even though no one is paying attention, I am still admiring myself.
Conan: "." It may take some time for this young lady to wake up.
After all, not everyone has the physical fitness of Mouri Kogoro.
"Emperor Pill?" Minase Yangmeng looked up at Mao Lilan next to him, still looking confused.
Mao Lilan responded with a friendly smile, "Hello, my name is Mao Lilan, and I am also a student of Didan High School."
"Hello."
Minase Youmeng rarely regained his composure, smiled slightly, and held Mao Lilan's hand together.
But as soon as the two hands touched each other, Mao Lilan's palm seemed to have been struck by electricity, and her body froze in place.
Conan next to him immediately noticed something was wrong and quickly asked: "Sister Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah?" Mao Lilan was stunned for two seconds before coming back to his senses, "Sorry, I was distracted just now."
Mao Lilan let go of his hand and used the other hand to hold the hand that was shaking hands with Minase Youmeng. His uneasy and worried emotions condensed into a complicated expression.
Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, taking in all this change in Mao Lilan.
Next, Henggou Jongwu recorded detailed confessions for Qin Zhibo and Minase Yomeng.
As Qin Zhibo said, Minase Yomeng didn't remember many things. He only remembered that he got on the school bus and was kidnapped and taken to the mountains.
According to this clue, Minase Youmeng may have been in a coma for more than a day, because Mao Lilan and Sonoko, who are both from Didan High School, did not go to school at all in the past two days.
At this moment, news came from the police.
"The DMV found the owner of that car!"
"Oh? Great!" Shigego Yokomori had had enough of asking Minase Harumu, and quickly turned his head and ordered loudly.
"Let's go now!"
According to information provided by the DMV, the suspect identified by the police is named Akira Kato, a 25-year-old employee of an antique art trading company.
Judging from the information retrieved from the Metropolitan Police Department's system, although this person has no criminal record, he has never registered a lost vehicle, so he can be tentatively considered to be suspected of committing a crime.
At the address registered on the driver's license, Akira Kato lives in an apartment in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo.
A police car whizzed by. Conan, Mao Lilan and Yuanzi were sitting in the police car.
Anyway, the fishing competition will definitely not be held, so I will just take a ride home.
Mao Lilan in the back seat of the car looked complicated and solemn, which made Conan sitting next to him a little worried.
"Sister Xiaolan, don't you seem unhappy from just now?" Conan expressed concern for his "green plum" in a childish tone.
Mao Lilan tilted her head and forced a smile.
"I'm not unhappy, I'm just..."
Mao Lilan's eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought of something. She turned to look at Sonoko who was sitting on the other side of Conan, and asked: "Yuanzi, do you remember that we have a classmate Minase Yomeng in our Didan High School?"
Finished!
This sudden question startled Conan. Now Sonoko was still in a long sleep due to the effect of anesthesia and did not wake up at all.
I just used Yuanzi's voice to tell me that I didn't have the strength to get into the car and asked someone to help me get in.
Conan quickly turned around and picked up the bow-tie voice changer, "Huh? I guess you don't remember?"
"But there are so many people in Didan's high school, so it's normal that you don't remember Xiaolan~"
When Mao Lilan heard what "Sonzi" said, she realized that after all, she did not have the super photographic memory of Kudo Shinichi.
But the first time she met Minase Harumu, Mao Lilan felt that Minase Haruumu would not be easily ignored by her.
Some intuition in her heart was quietly telling her that this girl was different from ordinary people.
It's literally different.
It took more than an hour to drive from Kanagawa Prefecture to Shinagawa Ward in Tokyo.
Henggou Shenwu didn't want to bring too much burden, so he wanted to arrange for his men to send everyone home who had nothing to do with the case.
But Conan is very concerned about the follow-up of the case and wants to continue following it.
In order to get the case in an open and fair manner, Conan put forward a bold hypothesis.
"Officer Henggou, actually I also know some information about the bandaged man~"
When Henggou Zhongwu heard this, his expression immediately became solemn.
Taken the bait.
Conan smiled slightly and continued: "We also met a strange man with bandages on his body and head at Sister Yuanzi's villa before."
"Although Uncle Qin solved the case, the murderer escaped into the mountains at night, and the police have not found his whereabouts so far."
"I remember that the villa seemed to be on the road from Tokyo to Kanagawa Prefecture. The bandage weirdo was also a murderer who dismembered women. Maybe he had something to do with the kidnapping this time."
When Conan said this, Henggou Jugo lifted his chin, conducted a rigorous analysis in his brain, and felt that it made sense.
After all, such bandage perversions are indeed rare, maybe they are passed down from generation to generation.
"Then you can stay for the time being, but you must not affect the police's search!"
"Hai——"×4
As we all know, Conan alone is equal to the entire Boys Detective Team.
Conan stays, and Mao Lilan must stay too.
However, the sleeping Sonoko was picked up by a luxury car sent by the Suzuki family.
Although it's a bit embarrassing to do the reasoning this time, it's not embarrassing if it's been in a sleeping state, right?
The police car drove downstairs to the target apartment. A group of police officers searched the parking lot downstairs and found the car very quickly.
"That's the car, that's right."
Qin Zhibo nodded and confirmed that the white car he saw on the mountain was exactly the one in the parking lot. The most important thing was that the license plate number was exactly the same.
Henggou Zhongwu listened to the words and grinned, showing a smile that was destined to win.
"Oh, it seems that the kidnapper didn't expect that someone saw his license plate number."
"Very good, go catch him immediately!"
Under Yokomori's order, a group of police officers from all the way from Kanagawa Prefecture rushed to the apartment building.
Qin Zhibo and Minase Yomeng walked behind the police as persons related to the case, while Conan and others were ordered to wait in the police car downstairs.
Conan crossed his arms angrily: I wasted my breath.
Several policemen crowded aggressively at the door of the target suspect's apartment, and the leader, Yokomori Shigego, knocked on the door roughly.
Bang bang bang——
After a while, footsteps came from the door, and a man with a slightly thin face and a perm-like hairstyle opened the door with a yawn.
"Who are you looking for?" Seeing a group of people outside, the man looked surprised.
Qin Zhibo immediately looked up and down at the man's figure. He was not fat but slightly thin, but he was not much different from the bandaged man he saw at that time.
Yokogawa showed his police manual and said solemnly: "I am Yokogawa Police Department of Kanagawa Prefecture. I suspect that you are related to a kidnapping case. Now please come back with us to assist in the investigation."
The man looked shocked and said in surprise: "Isn't that right? Wait a minute, what are you talking about?"
"Why don't I know anything?"
The man's expression didn't look like he was lying, and Yokomori Shigego confirmed it again just to be cautious.
"Your name is Kato Akira, right?"
"That's right"
"That's you, we want to arrest you."
Henggou Zhongwu didn't care, and just when he was about to order his men to step forward and seize the person by force, other sounds came from the room.
"What are you doing? It's so noisy."
"If it's an insurance promotion, wouldn't it be better to just refuse it?"
In the dim corridor opposite the entrance, a slightly bloated figure walked over, scratching his messy hair and making a lazy tone.
When the others came out of the darkness, Qin Zhibo, who was standing behind the police, looked shocked.
This person is none other than the Inspector General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department—Chiba Kazunobu.
Seeing the police and Qin Zhibo with all the faces outside the door, Chiba and Shinya were shocked and froze in place.
