Bang!
The office door was suddenly pushed open, causing a small commotion among the detectives, but soon everyone's attention was focused on the screen displayed on the tablet.
Mumu Thirteen had just sorted out the files on the previous bank robbery and was preparing to arrange for the police to hand them over for prosecution. When he heard the noise erupting in the office, he frowned slightly, put down the documents in his hands and looked up.
Then, at a glance, Miwako Sato was clustered in the middle of the crowd.
"Sato, what happened?"
Hearing his voice, the tense atmosphere in the office relaxed a little.
Miwako Sato took a deep breath, trying to calm down her emotions, and then turned sideways to let go of the tablet on the table.
"Police department, look at this."
? !
Mumu Shisan looked at the tablet, his pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of shock flashed across his face:
"Is this... Takagi has been kidnapped, huh? The angle of the image has changed..."
"Yes."
Sato Miwako quickly explained how several people received the tablet and discovered that Takagi Wataru appeared on the screen:
"Just now, someone asked the children of the Junior Detective Corps to deliver this tablet. The person who kidnapped Takagi should have set up three cameras at the place where he was imprisoned, from the front, the side and the bottom. The captured images are played randomly.”
"Is there any way to find out the source of the image?" Mumu Thirteen looked around at the detectives and asked.
"I have contacted the technical department," Shiratori Rensaburo reported immediately without putting down the receiver: "The technical staff said they would be here soon."
At this moment, Conan interjected: "It should be impossible to trace the source in a short time."
? !
Everyone was shocked.
Mumu Shisan looked over doubtfully: "Conan, what did you say?"
Conan looked serious and began to analyze: "On that tablet, the only thing that can be operated is the button on the front that is used to turn on or off the image... In addition, the touch panel and the charging interface have been modified so that they cannot be operated. The state of use. The other party is obviously well prepared and will not let us find clues easily."
Turns out I was worried about this...
Shiratori Rensaburo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Don't worry...even if it cannot be operated, as long as the tablet is disassembled, it can be charged from the inside. Later, we only need to grab the data from the hardware and we can check it." Go to the location where the other party sent this image."
"But, what if..."
Conan paused and seemed to be considering his words, "What should I do if Officer Takagi's image disappears after taking apart the tablet? Since the other party can modify the tablet, it is also possible that it has set up some kind of self-destruct program. Once we try to disassemble or crack it If it fails, the image will no longer be connected to those three cameras.”
Shiratori Rensaburo was stunned by Conan's words: "Huh? This..."
"and……"
Conan shook his head slightly and continued:
"Assuming that the other party also considers that we will trace the route back to the communications provider where the tablet computer received the information, maybe the server used to send the images from the beginning was a directly rented overseas connection. It is 80% difficult to filter out the source of sending emails in a short period of time.”
His voice was clear and calm, revealing a composure that belied his age.
All the detectives also froze in place after hearing this.
If we really assume this, wouldn't Takagi be hopeless?
Facing the complicated looks from everyone.
Conan also realized the problem and quickly added:
"Uh...this...these are all what I just called Brother Shinichi and he told me..."
First, I used the name of high school detective Kudo Shinichi as a shield. At worst, the Megure Police Department called me to confirm, and then I went to the bathroom again. Anyway, Brother Genichi was not here...
Just when he was slandering.
Mumu Shisan suddenly had an idea: "Hey! That's right! We can ask Brother Gengyi to come over and help!"
Conan's eyes twitched slightly, "Um... Brother Gengyi went out early this morning to purchase materials for scientific research. I'm afraid he won't be back for a while. Moreover, even if Brother Gengyi can come back in time, we still have to consider him. There is no way to safely disassemble this tablet... If the image is broken, with Officer Takagi's condition, he can only survive until the day after tomorrow without eating or drinking."
After hearing this, Mumu Shisan couldn't help but feel a little discouraged: "Then what should we do?"
"Takagi..." Miwako Sato clenched her fists: "Why did the kidnapper torture Takagi like this?"
"Indeed," Shiratori Rensaburo said in confusion: "...he doesn't look like the kind of person who would be so resented."
Just as the atmosphere in the office became more and more solemn, a steady sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, Matsumoto Kiyonaga pushed open the door and entered. The pressure caused by his position and the scar on his left eye made everyone's panic and impetuous hearts suddenly calm:
"As a police officer, you are born to make people resentful. You never know when you will offend others..."
He looked around at everyone in the office, and finally fixed his gaze on Mu Mu Shisan, who involuntarily straightened his back.
"Administrator Matsumoto..."
"Megure, I just went to the administrative department. I heard that the reason for Takagi's leave was to meet someone and he would stay outside for one night." Matsumoto Kiyonaga asked.
"Yes!"
Being reminded like this, Mu Mu Shisan, who had been working overtime until now, finally had an impression:
"He seemed to have been checking his air tickets before taking leave. Maybe he went to Haneda Airport."
"Then...Megure, go to Haneda Airport in person to check the passenger registration and see where Takagi originally wanted to go."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga arranged one by one: "Shiratori, go to Takagi's residence to check his email and mailbox, and find out who Takagi wants to meet."
"Yes!" Megure Thirteen and Shiratori Rensaburo responded in unison.
Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at Chiba Kazunobu again: "Chiba, you are responsible for monitoring the images on the tablet. Remember, don't leave the screen on all the time. Failure to charge means that the device will be turned off at any time. Every time you We will drive for 10 minutes an hour, record the images at the same time, and arrange for several police officers to use other equipment to review them to look for clues!"
"Yes! I'll get ready right away." Chiba and Nobu took the tablet and came to a relatively empty desk to set up a camera.
"Manager... what about me..." Sato Miwako asked.
"you……"
Matsumoto Kiyonaga hesitated for a moment and said: "Go find a conference room and make notes for Conan and the others. After all, they are important witnesses who have had contact with the suspect. If possible, be sure to record the suspect's appearance, habits, and way of speaking. Ask without missing a beat..."
"alright!"
He didn't wait for Sato Miwako to refuse, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted to everyone present: "Others, please take action and go and thoroughly check the cases that Takagi has handled so far, whether they are suspects, victims, in prison, Don’t let go even if you are released after serving your sentence!”
"Yes!" Police resources were immediately mobilized.
Conan was quietly relieved when he saw this.
Great... If I want to find Officer Takagi, I can only use the 'needle in a haystack' tactic at the moment. Originally, I was still thinking about how to get the Megure Police Department to mobilize all the detectives from the First Investigation Division.
As expected of the management officer, he is indeed very courageous.
Judging from the current situation, the Metropolitan Police Department should first try to investigate who Takagi Wataru met last night.
That tablet must not be dismantled hastily. As for Brother Geng Yi...
After all, he went out to help Haiyuan buy materials for developing an antidote. Since Haiyuan had borrowed the name of a doctor, Brother Geng must have been unaware of it. Without the psychological preparation in this regard, it would be better not to let him participate in this case. , otherwise when chatting with these detectives, accidentally revealing the name of the material will be troublesome.
There was still enough time, and he would definitely be able to think of a way to rescue Officer Takagi.
Conan followed Miwako Sato and decided to listen to Mitsuhiko's description of the suspect before making any subsequent plans.
