Kuroki Jin's words instantly silenced the scene, and the next second he was grabbed by the collar by a pair of hands.
Sato paused and said word by word: "What did you say?"
"I think Officer Sato heard it clearly." Kuroki Jin smiled and motioned for her to calm down, "About the murderer in the case of Chief Sato eighteen years ago and the interpretation of the code, including where Officer Sato should go next. The place."
"If it were now, it should be too late."
When Jin Kuroki told Miwako Sato the truth about the case, on the other side in front of Shinagawa Station, Takagi and Shiratori also completed the arrest of the suspect, although they may have arrested the wrong person.
Takagi sat on the bench, with Shiratori in front of him detaining the suspect and listening to his defense, while he looked up at the clock on the station sign.
At this glance, he saw the Roman sound under the name of the station.
"This is..." Takagi Moose paused. He didn't expect that the code was so simple. He immediately wanted to call Sato to tell him.
He still remembered Sato's words that if anyone found the murderer, he would be granted one wish.
When the time comes, all he needs to do is say generously, isn't it his duty to help Officer Sato, etc., and won't his favorability level be increased? !
The idea is beautiful, but it's a pity that there is a light bulb next to it.
As a competitor, Shiratori, who also likes Officer Sato, has been paying attention to Takagi's expression, and couldn't help but panic when he saw his sudden joyful expression.
For no reason, he thought, might it be Takagi who cracked the code? It's Takagi! Cracked it myself! signal? !
This not only won Sato's wish, but also confirmed that Shiratori Rensaburo is worse than Takagi, right?
So Shiratori walked to him sadly, wanting to hear what he was going to do.
So he ran away, he chased, he couldn't fly without wings.
By the time the phone call came to Sato, Sato had already learned the entire truth about the case from Kuroki Jin.
"Huh?!" Takagi, who finally ran away, couldn't help but raise his voice, "Officer Sato, you..." Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and he lost consciousness before he could react.
(Kudo Shinichi: I’m familiar with this!)
"Takagi? Takagi!" Sato looked at the hung up phone and had some bad premonitions in his heart.
"Officer Takagi?" Kuroki Jin looked at a small bar not far away. It was opened by one of Sato's father's friends, named Kano Shuji, who he had met before.
"Yes." Sato looked solemn, "He may have been in trouble. I heard the sound of hitting and Takagi's muffled groan before the call was hung up."
"Could it be that the murderer heard what he said about what happened back then and acted before he said it?"
Hearing Haihara Ai's analysis, Kuromu Ren shook his head.
"No, Shikano Shuji is in the store now, it shouldn't be him."
Sato frowned slightly, "How did you know he was in the store?"
They were outside the store at the moment. Although the store lights were on, the store was open normally at night, so it was impossible to confirm whether anyone was there.
"If it was a special day for him, he wouldn't let anyone disturb him at a time like this."
Kuroki Jin smiled softly, "Besides, if you want to know if he is in the store, wouldn't it be enough for Officer Sato to go in and take a look in person?"
Sato Miwako was moved. Her coming here actually showed that she wanted to confront him, but before taking action, she couldn't help but worry about Takagi.
"Let's ask Officer Shiratori." Kuroki Ren took the initiative to take over the job, "I can also send these children home later."
After getting Shiratori's phone address, Kuroki carefully stored it before making a call. While on the phone, he motioned for the five people to get in the car, but he hung up the phone before starting the car.
Sato's figure has disappeared at the door. I think there will be good news tonight.
"It feels dark... Brother Ren, you are particularly active today."
Conan looked thoughtful. Today, Kuroki Jin not only rushed to think about solving the case, but also took the initiative to share the affairs of both parties... The most important thing should be that he took the initiative to discuss this eighteen-year-old case with Sato. !
This is not at all like Kuroki Jin's usual lazy and passive style.
"Because of curiosity." Kuroki Ren gave an answer that no one expected. They would always know anyway, and he had no intention of hiding it.
"I'm a little curious about a case within the Metropolitan Police Department and want to get involved, but obviously they won't let me, an outsider, know about it."
"What case?" Conan's eyes lit up when he heard about the case.
"A case from seven years ago." Kuroki Ren, who was in the driver's seat, half-squinted his eyes, and a fierce light flashed past. Although it was only for a moment, Haihara Ai was still able to capture that fierce murderous aura, and subconsciously tugged on Conan's sleeve.
"It's too early to say that now." Then, Kuroki Jin laughed, "Just now, Officer Shiratori said that Officer Takagi finally ran towards the intersection of Shinagawa Station, right? Let's go there and take a look."
Seeing that Kuroki Jin only mentioned a few words but kept silent, Conan had no choice but to keep this question in his mind, and when he went back, he would ask Uncle Mouri or ask Officer Megure in Kudo's voice, what case was worth it seven years ago? Kuroki Jin goes to pay attention.
Not only Kuroki Jin is looking for Takagi, Shiratori is also looking for this love rival, and even thinking about Takagi's sneaky appearance just now, he wants to find him and stare at him.
The two groups each turned half a circle, but found nothing when they met.
While they were searching, Conan, who was sitting in the car, took out a map to see where the arsonist might choose his location.
"Since Officer Takagi was not knocked unconscious by Mr. Shikano, the most likely person to take action is the arsonist."
After all, the arsonist had a precedent in the fourth arson case, and a suspected witness died at the scene. If Takagi happened to witness the arsonist's murder scene while he was on the phone, he might have been knocked unconscious by chance.
"That is to say, the target of the arsonist will be in Shinagawa District." Haibara Ai took out a pen and circled the place of Shinagawa.
"The first four places are Ikebukuro, Asakusa Bridge, Tabata and Shimokitazawa." Conan mentioned these places casually, and Mitsuhiko stopped flipping through his notebook.
Haiyuan Ai circled the four places and looked at the arrangement of the five points. The two of them blurted out almost at the same time:
"fire."
"What?" The three people next to him didn't understand.
"We will keep Ikebukuro and Asakusa Bridge unchanged, connect Tabata and Shimokitazawa together, and add the guessed Shinagawa, you see."
Conan took the pen from Haihara Ai's hand and connected the lines as he said, and a Chinese character appeared on the map.
"Fire!" the three children shouted.
"It seems that the arsonist may appear here." Conan murmured.
