The next day.
After all, Haihara Ai went to school.
Her worries are not unreasonable. If she rashly asks for leave and the three children from the Junior Detective Corps get involved, the situation may become even worse.
After reminding this girl to play the role of a primary school student at school.
After breakfast, Ye Gengyi also arrived at the place agreed with Shiratori Rensaburo, and then the two started a one-day trip around the island.
Nagano Prefecture, Kanagawa, Shizuoka Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, Tokyo...
Along the way, in addition to collecting clues about the serial murders, Ye Gengyi also got some of the answers he wanted from clues.
... Okakura Masaaki is the member of the organization who lost the undercover list.
About a few weeks before the accident, the member of the House of Representatives suddenly showed unconcealable panic and uneasiness, and then secretly ran to the shrine to ask for an amulet.
According to his family's description, one time they went out and met a passerby who wanted to borrow Okakura Masaaki's amulet, but the two sides almost got into a scuffle.
These are the contents of the information that Shiratori Rensaburo obtained when he asked Okakura Masaaki if he had any enemies.
No wonder...
If he was so obvious, the members of the organization monitoring him might have already discovered the clues.
At first, Ye Gengyi made a judgment based on the email sent by Belmod, and thought that Okakura Masaaki first lost the undercover list, and then was murdered by a serial murderer.
Now it seems that this guy may not be able to escape death no matter what.
The boats and cars traveled all day long.
When we returned to Mikka Town, it was already 2 o'clock in the morning.
Before separation.
Shiratori Rensaburo reminded Ye Gengyi to take time to rest and not to miss the search meeting during the day.
"Meeting again?"
Ye Gengyi frowned, "If there are clues, share them directly over the phone. Wouldn't it be better to save time and focus on the investigation?"
"Well, that's correct, but don't worry, Mr. Ye, apart from us, the only people attending tomorrow's meeting are the police departments of various cities, counties and districts, and their subordinates will still investigate carefully."
When Shiratori Rensaburo said this, he lowered his voice and explained:
"This is a special request from Administrator Matsumoto..."
Ireland?
Well, considering it from his point of view, it is indeed necessary to keep track of the progress of the police investigation at all times.
As for himself, from the unfamiliarity he first saw, there was a vigilant look in his eyes... It seems that neither Gin nor Belmode informed the other party of his identity.
…
9 am.
The meeting room in the Metropolitan Police Department.
After confirming that all the participants were present, Shiratori Rensaburo also took the initiative to speak and recounted the situation he and Ye Gengyi had investigated.
The meeting lasted about half an hour.
When talking about clues about mahjong, Mouri Kogoro was a little surprised and said:
"Eh? They don't play mahjong?"
"Yes," Shiratori Rensaburo nodded, "We visited and investigated the homes and workplaces of these six victims, and it was basically confirmed that none of them have a hobby of playing mahjong."
"Alas... It's a pity that Brother Maori's reasoning is wrong." Megure Thirteen sighed.
"We've reached a dead end." Ireland felt a little heavy.
Last night, he gave up following up on the case, and instead checked Hansu Edogawa Conan's information by accident.
Of course, the findings are still questionable.
However, a genius primary school student, no matter how you compare it to that undercover list, seems too insignificant.
After all, he didn't have Belmod's amazing voice-changing skills. In order to disguise himself as Matsumoto Kiyonaga, he spent nearly a week just learning to imitate the manager's rough voice.
Now, I actually spend my precious time on other things.
If Gin found out, that cold-blooded guy who was pretending might make a fuss about this matter again.
Thinking of this, Ireland couldn't help but have a headache.
He was a little happy when he received this mission. He wanted to find the memory card that stored the undercover list as soon as possible, so that he could suppress Gin in terms of status step by step, and even make the other party leave the organization.
Now it seems that everything is really not going well...
"well……"
Just as he was thinking about it, Mu Mu Shisan's sigh also reached his ears.
Ireland subconsciously wants to complain about these incompetent police officers.
As a result, I heard the khaki-colored police officer say with emotion:
"It would be nice if Kudo was there at this time..."
"Kudo?" Ireland's eyes lit up and he turned his head and asked, "Could this person you are talking about be the high school detective who often assists you in handling cases, Kudo Shinichi?"
Oops, that's too bad...
Mumu Thirteen secretly said something careless, but the person who asked about this topic was his superior, so he couldn't ignore it, so he could only say a vague 'hmm'.
"I haven't heard anything about the high school detective lately."
At one end of the conference table, Ogino Ayami sighed: "I used to see him in the news or newspapers."
"Hmph, maybe I'm tired of playing detective games."
Yokomori Shigego originally wanted to start a chat about his views on the detective's involvement in the case, but when he noticed the looks from Mouri Kogoro and Ye Gengyi, he finally stopped talking.
A private detective, an official detective appointed by the police chief, and now they are pointing people to investigate cases.
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend...
"It's not like this!"
Takagi Wataru can be said to be one of the detectives who enjoys the most detective bonuses. He couldn't help but say:
"He also appeared at the anniversary of Didan High School some time ago and solved a murder case. Well...I don't know what to say, because there were three..."
"Takagi!"
With a dark face, Mumu Shisan interrupted his honest subordinate's ramblings.
"Ah..." Takagi Wata came to his senses and quickly lowered his head to apologize: "I'm sorry, I spilled the beans."
Ireland did not intend to give them the experience of changing the topic and continued to ask:
"What's going on, Megure?"
(?_?)……what happened?
I also want to know what's going on... Ye Geng looked over there with dead eyes.
It wouldn't matter if Yamamura Soo could hear the tones of "Seven Children" the day before yesterday. After all, people are not judged by their appearance. Maybe he is like Conan. Although he has a drake voice, he has an absolute sense of pitch.
But... today at the search meeting, this khaki man suddenly talked about Kudo Shinichi's behavior. Could it be that he was secretly reminding himself and Mouri Kogoro to seize the time to solve the case, otherwise he would start thinking about other brothers. ?
Mumu Shisan said 'Oh' and explained: "This is to respect my wishes and to conceal the fact that he participated in solving the case."
"He is quite humble." On the other side of the conference table, Yamamura Cao said with emotion.
"Yes." Mumu Shisan said with a sigh on his face: "I don't know why, but he has become very low-key recently. He used to really like to be in the limelight."
"I see."
Ireland nodded, his previous depression replaced by excitement.
It’s interesting, a dead person actually came back to life…
