"Brother Zong, we meet again..."
"Yes, Brother Memu meets again..."
After receiving Sotakuya's call, Megure Thirteen quickly led the team to the Miwa Art Museum, and the two of them had an awkward chat at the entrance of the art museum.
Memu's men have already entered the exhibition hall and started investigating. The originally dimly lit hell exhibition hall became brighter with the arrival of the police.
Before his preliminary investigation was completed, Megure still had time to say a few words to Sotakuya.
"Brother Zong, has something happened to you recently? Brother, I know a shrine that is said to be very efficacious. Although it's not in Miwa Town, it's still worth a visit."
Although Megure and Sotakuya are inseparable from the murder case, whether they are criminal police officers or anti-narcotics police officers. But there is still a difference between the two.
Usually they were approached by murder cases, but today Zong Takuya was directly approached by murder cases. In other words, what Megure Thirteen means is, brother, why don't you go to the shrine and pay your respects to get rid of bad luck? You are about to become a god of plague.
This time, Sotakuya had no excuse. Although he knew that the culprit of the murder was Conan, Sotakuya could not tell Memu about the informant book.
This Tokyo informant book that appeared in his mobile phone for some unknown reason is destined to be the deepest secret in Sou Takuya's heart, and he will never tell anyone about it.
So Takuya, who declined Officer Megure's kindness, walked aside uncomfortably. He was furious when he saw Conan jumping up and down in the scene and following the police investigation.
Are you taking the blame for this kid?
Realizing that Sotakuya's mood was not right, Qiuting Reiko came over and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What did the police officer say to you?"
"Oh...he advised me to go to the shrine to get rid of bad luck." Sotakuya rolled his eyes and said the not-so-tactful suggestion of Megure Thirteen.
Hearing Sotakuya's words, Akito Reiko covered her mouth and snickered. Officer Megure's suggestion seemed to be very pertinent. Today they went on a date and only went to two places.
As a result, murders occurred in both places. Why don't we find a shrine to go to for bad luck?
"What kind of look are you looking at!" Zong Takuya looked at the gloating Qiuting Reiko and felt short of breath: "Let me tell you this is not my problem."
"This is obviously that kid's problem!"
So Takuya pointed at Conan who was following the police officer and wanted to go to the monitoring room together and said speechlessly.
Yes, because of the special nature of the art museum, a surveillance camera was unexpectedly discovered at the scene of the crime. This is a rare situation in Japanese police investigations.
The most outrageous thing is that Conan, a primary school student, only reacted to the suggestion to check the surveillance after reminding the search class. Seeing this, Takuya felt sad for Brother Megure.
Does he just want to rely on detectives to solve cases? There are too many unreliable subordinates! I don’t know how the Metropolitan Police Department recruited this group of sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks...
Hearing Sotakuya's "quibble", Akito Reiko lightly patted his arm and gave him a sideways glance: "Why, are you going to let a child take the blame for you now?"
"Tsk... The first time I met him was at the scene of a kidnapping case, the second time was with a transnational robbery gang, and the third time was at a coffee shop."
"This is the fourth time."
"It seems that this kid can be found wherever there is a crime. Tell me, whose problem is this?" So Takuya suddenly felt that Conan's original title of high school detective was not very appropriate.
There are so many cases happening around us, even more vicious cases than some grassroots patrol policemen will encounter in their lives. This is clearly the "son of crime" in Yoneka Town!
If this were done in Europe, they should be tied to the stake and burned alive!
etc.
Speaking of being tied to the stake and burned alive... Sotakuya turned his attention to Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who were cooperating with the criminal police in describing the situation at that time.
Especially staying on Mao Lilan for a long time.
It wasn't until Qiuting Reiko woke him up from his reverie that he finally came to his senses: "What bad thing is Officer Zong thinking about? He's a high school student, so don't mess around~"
The poisonous-tongued sister always likes to tease Zong Takuya about these trivial matters. After getting along with him several times, she also discovered some of Zong Takuya's little habits.
For example...
So Takuya's eyes would involuntarily squint when he was thinking of some bad idea. This was the guy's expression when he climbed up the wall!
Qiuting Lianzi still doesn't know why Zong Tuozai is probably trying to cause trouble again.
"No, I can't bear the blame for that kid in vain. I have to get some interest back from him." Although according to the informant book, Conan, as a UR informant, can provide criminal intelligence or information from time to time.
But after getting along with him several times, Zong Takuya discovered that most of the things that happened to Conan were murder cases or vicious injury cases.
This does not match his function as a drug police officer.
For Sotakuya, a UR informant who cannot provide effective information is not even as effective as an N-level informant in the drug industry. He is such a realistic person~
Now that Conan can't provide him with effective information, and has allowed himself to take such a big blame on Memu Thirteen, it's obviously impossible to let Conan go so easily.
Sotakuya could tell that Conan had an unusual enthusiasm for reasoning, and it could be seen from his behavior that he didn't behave like an elementary school student at all.
Although Sotakuya didn't understand why Megure's subordinates would allow a child to wander around the scene like a street, he was not his subordinate and he had no say.
The most taboo thing in the workplace is to be too lenient.
Since Conan likes reasoning so much, then leave him alone and let him feel the joy of being spoiled here!
So Takuya immediately asked the detective from the First Investigation Division for the evidence at the scene, which were a ballpoint pen with the tip retracted and a note with Kubota written on it.
There happened to be a staff member named Kubota in the art museum. At this time, Kubota was busy explaining to the police that this case was not done by him at all, and he knew nothing.
So Takuya looked at the note carefully and found that there were many scratches on Kubota's name on the note, as if he wanted to cross the name off it.
Combined with this ballpoint pen, the nib does not stick out and can still write.
How come these people didn't notice such an obvious scapegoat? Zong Takuya, who always felt that his lower limit of cognition had been refreshed again, speechlessly went to Megure Thirteen and told him his method of finding the real murderer.
What are you waiting for if you don’t search yourself at this time? Anyone who carries a ballpoint pen without water and whose fingerprints can be found on the deceased is highly suspicious.
The victim died not long ago, and the murderer is most likely someone from the art museum. If these people are not suspected, we can start the investigation separately.
Zong Takuya believed that with such a set of procedures, the murderer would have no way to escape the police's sanction. What's the use of just asking questions one by one?
They are not detectives!
Besides, there are a lot of colleagues in the Metropolitan Police who are good at interrogation... Isn't that what they exist for? If everything was investigated clearly at the scene, why would there be an interrogation?
It would be great to just pull him back and record a confession.
"What Brother Zong said makes sense. If you heard it, just follow the instructions of the Zong Police Department!" Mumu Shisan is a person who is good at doing things and immediately ordered his subordinates to start searching everyone in the hall.
The old director of the art museum who was standing not far away and listened to Sou Takuya's proposal gave Sou Takuya a deep look, and then said to the police officer on the side:
"No need to search, the murderer is me. This is the evidence you are looking for."
